Ubisoft Forecasts Flat Sales, Extends Work on Top Game Titles
(Bloomberg) -- Ubisoft Entertainment SA, the video-game maker behind the popular Assassin's Creed title, forecast flat sales for the new fiscal year and said some of its biggest productions will get more development time. Bookings, a measure of sales, fell 20% to €1.85 billion ($2.07 billion) in just-ended fiscal 2025, the company said Wednesday, missing Wall Street estimates of €1.89 billion. Bookings in the fourth quarter declined 3.4%. The forecast and additional development work are the latest setbacks for the French company, whose shares have tumbled from a high of €88.16 more than four years ago to their current €11.68. The company announced its latest results after markets closed in Paris. Management led by Chief Executive Officer Yves Guillemot is taking steps to right the company. In March, it announced Tencent Holdings Ltd. would invest €1.16 billion in a new subsidiary that will be home to key titles like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. The deal amounted to a vote of confidence from Tencent, which already holds a 10% stake in Ubisoft, in the wake of a difficult few years since a pandemic-era boom in play ran out of gas. The new unit's €4 billion valuation is higher than the group's current enterprise value. 'This year has been a challenging one for Ubisoft, with mixed dynamics across our portfolio, amid intense industry competition,' Guillemot said in a statement. 'We are currently working on reshaping the group's operating model and plan to announce a new organization by the end of the year.' In a call with reporters earlier in the day, Chief Financial Officer Frederick Duguet indicated that operationally Ubisoft would remain 'one unique company,' with employees free to work on brands owned by both the subsidiary and its parent. The decision to extend production work means fresh revenue from Ubisoft's biggest franchises will be pushed back into the next two fiscal years. Ubisoft also said its €200 million cost-cutting goal for the year has been completed ahead of schedule and that it will pursue an additional €100m in savings over the next two years. The company finished the year with 17,782 employees, down by 1,230 from a year earlier. More stories like this are available on

'Assassin's Creed' no savior for struggling Ubisoft
'Assassin's Creed' came through with strong sales but could not keep Ubisoft from a net loss By Kilian FICHOU A bumper release for the latest "Assassin's Creed" instalment did not save French video games giant Ubisoft from falling back into the red in its 2024-25 financial year, the company said on Wednesday. The company had won through to profitability in 2023-24 after a near half-billion-euro loss in the previous period. But a string of disappointing releases undermined this year's performance, with a net loss of 159 million euros ($178 million) on revenues of 1.9 billion -- down 17.5 percent year-on-year. Over the past 12 months, Ubisoft's would-be blockbuster "Star Wars Outlaws" fell short of sales expectations on release, while it cancelled multiplayer first-person shooter "XDefiant" for lack of players. "This year has been a challenging one for Ubisoft, with mixed dynamics across our portfolio, amid intense industry competition," chief executive Yves Guillemot said in a statement. Ubisoft's preferred performance indicator, so-called "net bookings" -- which excludes some deferred revenues -- also fell by more than 20 percent year-on-year, to 1.8 billion euros. The group expects the measure to hold steady in the coming 2025-26 financial year, during which it will release a new "Prince of Persia" game, strategy title "Anno 117: Pax Romana" and mobile versions of shooters "Rainbow Six" and "The Division". Disappointing shipments have been matched by a tumbling stock price. But in recent weeks the publisher's biggest money-spinner has been as dependable as ever, with "Assassin's Creed Shadows" winning over more than three million players with its story of medieval Japanese intrigue since its March 20 release. "Shadows" swiftly rose to become the second-best-selling game of the year so far in the United States, according to data from consultancy Circana. Moving to address its business woes, Ubisoft said in late March that it would create a new subsidiary to manage its three top franchises: "Assassin's Creed", "Far Cry" and "Rainbow Six". Around 3,000 of the group's 17,000 employees worldwide will work in the new unit, Guillemot has said. It will not own the games' brands, instead paying royalties to the parent company to use them. The subsidiary has been valued at more than four billion euros, or twice Ubisoft's current market capitalisation, after Chinese tech giant Tencent agreed to invest 1.16 billion in exchange for a stake of around 25 percent. Spinning off the biggest-selling games "was the least committal of the available options without simply returning to shareholders empty-handed," said Martin Szumski, an analyst at Morningstar, ahead of the earnings report. One activist fund with a minority stake in Ubisoft had tried to rally other investors to demand a change of course. Leaving investors "underwhelmed", according to Szumski, the subsidiary plan has not kept the mothership's stock from eroding further in value, hit in part by fears over U.S. tariffs. Since January, the shares have lost more than 12 percent, touching their lowest price in over a decade in April. Ubisoft has promised details of more restructuring moves by the end of 2025 and aims to save a further 100 million euros over the coming two years as part of a cost-cutting drive launched in 2023. The company on Wednesday also reported net debt of 885 million euros, down from 1.4 billion in September. Ubisoft's restructuring means Tencent, which climbed aboard as an investor in 2018, will have a bigger say in the French firm -- although Guillemot insisted to French senators at a hearing last week that he will "retain control" over the new subsidiary. Looking ahead, "if Ubisoft is unable to use the money Tencent invested in a meaningful way, it is certainly possible that Tencent pursues buying the firm outright" even in the face of fierce resistance from the founding Guillemot brothers, Szumski suggested. Ubisoft's belt-tightening program has brought closures of several foreign studios and thousands of job cuts. Worldwide, the company is replacing only one in three departing workers, Guillemot told the Senate. © 2025 AFP
