Ubisoft Entertainment SA’s net bookings missed analysts’ estimates as production delays and weaker-than-expected sales weigh on the French video game company’s turnaround plan.
Net bookings were €352.3 million ($382 million) in the second quarter of the 2025 fiscal year, down 36% compared to the same period last year, Ubisoft said in a statement on Wednesday. This compares to the €368 million average estimate from analysts surveyed by Bloomberg and falls at the lower end of the company’s recently cut guidance.
