Ubisoft Entertainment SA said it expects full-year operating income will be in the red as delayed games and lower net bookings hurt the French game studio’s bottom line.

The company expects an operating loss of €500 million ($538 million) for the current fiscal year, it said in a statement Wednesday, compared to an operating profit of €400 million it forecastBloomberg Terminal when it published its most recent results.
