“In fiscal 2010, we achieved a successful turnaround, grew market share and exceeded our financial and operating targets.  We have streamlined our cost structure, which will provide us with increased operating leverage in our model as our business continues to grow,” said Brian Farrell, THQ President and CEO.  “Importantly, during the fiscal year we established three major core game franchises, UFC, Darksiders and Red Faction.  We are very excited about our development pipeline and how we’ve positioned THQ to capitalize on both traditional and digital gaming opportunities going forward.”

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, THQ reported net sales of $197.7 million, up 16% from $170.3 million for the same period a year ago.  On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported net sales of $197.4 million, up 28% from $154.3 million for the same period a year ago.  Sales were driven primarily by new releases Darksiders™ and Metro 2033™.

 

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the company reported a net loss of $10.4 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with a net loss of $96.9 million, or $1.44 per share, for the same period a year ago.  On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported fiscal 2010 fourth quarter net income of $4.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $36.4 million, or $0.54 per share, for the same period a year ago.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results is provided in the accompanying financial tables.

 

The company reported cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $271.3 million at March 31, 2010, up from $140.7 million at March 31, 2009.

Business Outlook

 

Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2011

 

The company expects to report non-GAAP fiscal 2011 net sales in the range of $905 million to $920 million, which represents a 2% to 4% increase from those reported in fiscal 2010, and to report non-GAAP EPS in the range of $0.25 to $0.30 per share, which is approximately 30% to 60% higher than fiscal 2010, reflecting expected operating leverage on the company’s lower cost structure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to results determined in accordance with GAAP, the company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the following:

 

·      stock-based compensation expense,

 

·      the impact of certain deferred revenue and related costs,

 

·      business realignment expense,

 

·      other-than-temporary impairment on investments and any subsequent realized gains on those investments, and mark-to-market adjustments on trading Auction Rate Securities,

 

·      material litigation settlements, charges and benefits, and

 

·      related income tax effects for each of these items.

 

Beginning in fiscal 2010, for non-GAAP purposes, the company adopted a fixed, long-term projected tax rate of 15% to evaluate its operating performance, as well as to forecast, plan and analyze future periods.

 

THQ may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses.

 

The company excludes these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because its management does not believe they reflect the company’s primary business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.  THQ’s management believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its financial condition and results of operations, and helps investors compare actual results to its long-term operating goals as well as to its performance in prior periods.  The non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release have been reconciled to the comparable GAAP results in the accompanying tables, and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

 

In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items THQ excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, the company’s management uses certain of the non-GAAP financial measures for the following reasons:

 

Stock-Based Compensation. THQ does not consider stock-based compensation charges when evaluating the performance of its business or formulating its operating plans. Stock-based compensation charges are subject to significant fluctuation outside of the control of management due to the variables used to estimate the fair value of a share-based payment, such as THQ’s stock price, interest rates and the volatility of the company’s stock price.  Further, when considering the impact of equity award grants,

 

5



 

THQ places a greater emphasis on the use of such grants as retention tools for long-term stockholder value creation, as well as overall stockholder dilution, rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants.

 

Deferred Revenue/Costs. Beginning in fiscal 2008, the company began recognizing the revenue and related costs from the sale of certain titles for which the online service is determined to be a deliverable over the estimated online service period.  Although the company defers the recognition of its net revenue and costs with respect to these titles, there is no adverse impact to its operating cash flow.  Internally, THQ’s management excludes the impact of deferred net revenue and costs related to packaged games when evaluating the company’s operating performance, when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, and when assessing the performance of its management team.

 

Business Realignment Expense.   Although THQ has incurred business realignment expenses in the past, each charge has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives.  Management does not believe these charges reflect the company’s primary business, ongoing operating results or future outlook. As such, the company believes it is appropriate to exclude these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures.

Notes:

(a)    See explanation above regarding the Company’s practice on reporting non-GAAP financial measures.

(b)   Represents the one-time reduction in accrued joint venture partner expense resulting from the settlement of the preferred return rate with JAKKS Pacific.

(c)    Represents the expense related to the settlement of litigation with WWE and JAKKS Pacific in December 2009.

(d)   See table below for further detail related to income statement classification of these adjustments.

(e)    Represents realignment attributable to noncontrolling interest.

(f)      Realized gains on sales of investments to the extent we had previously excluded a related other-than-temporary impairment from non-GAAP amounts.

(g)   Mark-to-market adjustment related to unrealized gains on trading Auction Rate Securities (ARS), partially offset by related unrealized losses on a put option received in connection with the ARS.  This amount is recorded in “Interest and other income (expense), net.”

(h)   On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted a fixed, long-term projected tax rate of 15% for the purposes of evaluating its operating performance, and to forecast, plan and analyze future periods.

(i)       Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share — diluted has not been calculated using the “if-converted” method relative to the Convertible Senior Notes (Notes) issued in August 2009 as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive or because the Notes were not outstanding.
