Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements, as well as those made above, reflect expectations as of May 3, 2006. Results may be materially different and are affected by many factors, such as: the timely release of next-generation hardware and the ability of console manufacturers to produce an adequate supply of consoles to meet demand, development delays on EA’s products, changes in foreign exchange rates, the overall global economy, the popular appeal of EA’s products, competition in the industry, EA’s effective tax rate, EA’s ability to secure key licenses and other factors detailed in this release and in EA’s annual and quarterly SEC filings. For example, EA’s expectations for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 are dependent on Sony’s ability to successfully launch the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system in November 2006 and to provide sufficient supplies to satisfy consumer demand during the 2006 holiday season and first quarter of calendar 2007.

Fiscal First Quarter Expectations – Ending June 30, 2006

• Net revenue is expected to be between $300 and $340 million.

• GAAP diluted loss per share is expected to be between ($0.42) and ($0.36). This range includes approximately $0.09 of estimated stock-based compensation, $0.03 of amortization of intangible assets and $0.02 of estimated restructuring charges related to the reorganization and establishment of an International Publishing Headquarters in Geneva.

2

• Non-GAAP diluted loss per share is expected to be between ($0.28) and ($0.22).

Fiscal Year Expectations – Ending March 31, 2007

• Net revenue is expected to be between $2.7 and $2.95 billion.

• GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share are expected to be between ($0.15) and $0.15. This range includes approximately $0.30 of estimated stock-based compensation, $0.15 of amortization of intangible assets and $0.05 of estimated restructuring charges related to the reorganization and establishment of an International Publishing Headquarters in Geneva.

• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be between $0.35 and $0.65.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Electronic Arts uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Electronic Arts include non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items from the Company’s statement of operations:

• Acquired in-process technology

• Amortization of intangibles

• Employee stock-based compensation

• Restructuring charges

• Certain litigation expense

• Income tax adjustments (consisting of the income tax effect of the items listed above and one-time income tax adjustments)

In addition, Electronic Arts may consider whether other significant non-recurring items that arise in the future should also be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures it uses.

Electronic Arts believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business, operating results or future outlook. Electronic Arts’ management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance to prior periods. Electronic Arts further believes that where the adjustments used in calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are based on specific, identifiable charges that impact different line items in the Company’s statements of operations (including cost of goods sold, marketing and sales, general and administrative, research and development expense and income tax expense), that it is useful for investors to understand how these specific line items are affected by these adjustments.

In the financial tables below, Electronic Arts has provided a reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release.
