Activision Blizzard reports Q2 FY2015 results

Financial results better than expected, busy release season ahead

Posted on

Activision Blizzard, Inc has announced better-than-expected financial results for the second quarter of 2015.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, Activision Blizzard’s net revenues were $759 million, as compared with $658 million for the second quarter of 2014. For the second quarter, net revenues from digital channels were a Q2 record $611 million, growing 27% year-over-year.

Activision continues to have 2 of the top 5 videogame franchises in North America and Europe year-to-date, with Skylanders, including toys and accessories, achieving the No. 1 spot. Including toys and accessories, Skylanders was the No. 1 console title and kids console title year to date, and outsold the No. 1 action figure line in North America and Europe. Activision Publishing also continues to have 3 of the top 5 next-generation games life-to-date.

The Call of Duty franchise Q2 revenues increased by a double-digit percentage year-over-year due to strong continued sell-through of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and growing online revenues per user across the franchise. Season pass, downloadable content, and micro-transaction offerings have helped drive increased engagement and monetization. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare remains the No. 1 next generation game life to date, as it has been since its launch nine months ago.

Destiny now has over 2 billion hours of gameplay since launch, which amounts to an average 100 hours of gameplay for each of Destiny’s over 20 million registered players.

World of Warcraft ended the quarter at 5.6 million subscribers, down from 7.1 million reported in May. World of Warcraft remains the No. 1 subscription‐based MMORPG in the world.

On April 23, 2015, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls went live in China. Diablo III has now sold-through over 30 million units life-to-date globally.

The publishing company expects to have a busy Fall release season, with the upcoming launches of Destiny: The Taken King, Skylanders SuperChargers, Guitar Hero Live, StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, and more.

Tickets to Blizzard Entertainment’s ninth BlizzCon, which will be returning to the Anaheim Convention Center on Friday, November 6, and Saturday, November 7, went on sale in two batches in April and quickly sold out.
