Financials Market: Ubisoft Q1: Mobile Net Bookings Share Nearly Doubles
Ubisoft reported that mobile's share of its net bookings rose from 10% to 19% in Q1 of its new fiscal year, the largest platform growth. Consoles fell from 50% to 46%, PC rose slightly to 27%, and the 'other' category declined to 8%. The company generated €255.8 million ($291m) in Q1 net bookings, down 9% year‑on‑year but slightly above guidance, driven by a record quarter from the mobile game Invincible: Guarding the Globe. Digital sales fell to 81% of net bookings from 89% a year earlier. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot highlighted the game's contribution and reiterated disciplined execution and investment ahead of a stronger content cycle.
