1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," or similar pronouns) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1993. We are a leading developer, marketer and publisher of interactive entertainment for consumers around the globe. The Company develops and publishes products through its two wholly-owned labels Rockstar Games and 2K, which publishes its titles under the 2K Games, 2K Sports and 2K Play brands. Our products are designed for console systems, handheld gaming systems and personal computers, including smart phones and tablets, and are delivered through physical retail, digital download, online platforms and cloud streaming services.

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. As permitted under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions when appropriate. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

        Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Discontinued Operations

        In February 2010, we completed the sale to SYNNEX Corporation ("Synnex") of our Jack of All Games third party distribution business, which primarily distributed third party interactive entertainment software, hardware and accessories in North America. The financial information of our distribution business has been classified as discontinued operations in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all of the periods presented. See Note 2 for additional information regarding discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company's continuing operations.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial Instruments

        The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 we had $8,436 and $16,464, respectively, of cash on deposit reported as a component of prepaid expenses and other in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because its use was restricted.

        As of September 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of the Company's 4.375% Convertible Notes due 2014 and the Company's 1.75% Convertible Notes due 2016 was $169,078 and $233,950, respectively. See Note 8 for additional information regarding our Convertible Notes. The fair value was determined using observable market data for the Convertible Notes and its embedded option feature.

        We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant sales and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting us to foreign currency exchange rate risk. From time to time, we use hedging programs in an effort to mitigate the effect of foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Cash Flow Hedging Activities

        We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with forecasted transactions involving non-functional currency denominated expenditures. These contracts, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts is reported as either assets or liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. The gross amount of the effective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold or research and development expenses, as appropriate, in the period when the forecasted transaction is recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event that the gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are deemed to be ineffective, the ineffective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value, if any, is reclassified to interest and other, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event that the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes probable that they will not occur, within the defined hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest and other, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the reporting periods, all forecasted transactions occurred, and therefore, there were no such gains or losses reclassified into interest and other, net. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes. At September 30, 2012, we had $10,193 of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars all of which have maturities of less than one year. At March 31, 2012, we had $10,192 of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars all of which have maturities of less than one year. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of these outstanding forward contracts was immaterial and is included in prepaid expenses and other. As of March 31, 2012, the fair

value of these outstanding forward contracts was immaterial and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Balance Sheet Hedging Activities

        We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with non-functional currency denominated cash balances and inter-company funding loans, non-functional currency denominated accounts receivable and non-functional currency denominated accounts payable. These transactions are not designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts is reported as either assets or liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are reported in interest and other, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes. At September 30, 2012, we had $56,277 of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars all of which have maturities of less than one year. At March 31, 2012, we had $4,005 of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars and $28,304 of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars all of which have maturities of less than one year. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded losses of $1,415 and $180, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded gains of $244 and $237, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the fair value of these outstanding forward contracts was immaterial and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income

        On April 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income. The main provisions of the new guidance provide that an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income has the option to present comprehensive income as (i) a single statement that presents the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income or (ii) in two separate but consecutive statements, whereby an entity must present the components of net income and total net income in the first statement and that statement is immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income. The new rules eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. These new rules are to be applied retrospectively and become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (April 1, 2012 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        In February 2010, we completed the sale of our Jack of All Games third party distribution business, which primarily distributed third party interactive entertainment software, hardware and accessories in North America, for approximately $44,000, including $37,250 in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments, and up to an additional $6,750 subject to the achievement of certain items, which were not met. In April 2011, we settled on the purchase adjustments and as a result the purchase price was lowered by $1,475. Consequently, the net purchase price after the settlement was $35,775. The sale has allowed us to focus our resources on our publishing operations. The financial information of our distribution business has been classified as discontinued operations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all of the periods presented. The following is a summary of the liabilities of discontinued operations primarily related to a liability for a lease assumption without economic benefit less estimates of sublease income. The lease matures on September 30, 2014.

3. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

        In March 2007, we entered into a management services agreement (as amended, the "Management Agreement") with ZelnickMedia Corporation ("ZelnickMedia"), whereby ZelnickMedia provides us with certain management, consulting and executive level services. Strauss Zelnick, the President of ZelnickMedia, serves as our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Karl Slatoff, a partner of ZelnickMedia, serves as our Chief Operating Officer. In May 2011, we entered into a new management agreement (the "New Management Agreement") with ZelnickMedia pursuant to which ZelnickMedia continues and will continue to provide management, consulting and executive level services to the Company through May 2015. As part of the New Management Agreement, Mr. Zelnick serves as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Slatoff serves as Chief Operating Officer. In September 2011, the New Management Agreement, which upon effectiveness, superseded and replaced the Management Agreement was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's 2011 Annual Meeting. The New Management Agreement provides for the annual management fee to remain at $2,500, subject to annual increases in the amount of 3% over the term of the agreement, and the maximum annual bonus was increased to $3,500 from $2,500, subject to annual increases in the amount of 3% over the term of the agreement, based on the Company achieving certain performance thresholds. In consideration for ZelnickMedia's services, we recorded consulting expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) of $1,095 and $1,187 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $2,189 and $2,125 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

3. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Continued)

        Pursuant to the Management Agreement, in August 2007, we issued stock options to ZelnickMedia to acquire 2,009,075 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $14.74 per share, which vested over 36 months and expire 10 years from the date of grant. In June 2008, pursuant to the Management Agreement, we granted 600,000 shares of restricted stock to ZelnickMedia that vested annually over a three year period and 900,000 shares of market-based restricted stock that could have vested over a four year period through June 2012, provided that the Company's Total Shareholder Return (as defined in the relevant grant agreements) was at or higher than the 75^th percentile of the NASDAQ Industrial Index measured annually on a cumulative basis. Because the price of our common stock did not achieve its performance targets, the 900,000 shares of market-based restricted stock were forfeited in June 2012. For the three months and six months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a benefit of $20 and an expense of $507, respectively, of stock-based compensation (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the Management Agreement.

        In addition, pursuant to the New Management Agreement, we granted 1,100,000 shares of restricted stock to ZelnickMedia that will vest annually through April 1, 2015 and 1,650,000 shares of market-based restricted stock that will be eligible to vest through April 1, 2015, based on the Company's Total Shareholder Return (as defined in the relevant grant agreements) relative to the Total Shareholder Return of the companies that constitute the NASDAQ Composite Index measured annually on a cumulative basis. To earn all of the shares of market-based restricted stock, the Company must perform at the 75th percentile, or top quartile, of the NASDAQ Composite Index. Each reporting period, we remeasure the fair value of the unvested portion of the shares of market-based restricted stock granted to ZelnickMedia. The unvested portion of the shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the New Management Agreement as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 was 2,169,750 and 2,750,000 shares, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded an expense of $1,524 and $332, respectively, of stock-based compensation (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the New Management Agreement. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded an expense of $741 and $332, respectively, of stock-based compensation (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the New Management Agreement.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of "observable inputs" and minimize the use of "unobservable inputs." The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.



•

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.



•

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models,

discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

        The table below segregates all assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (which is measured at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

5. INVENTORY

        Inventory balances by category are as follows:

        Estimated product returns included in inventory at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were $1,233 and $1,610, respectively.

6. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND LICENSES

        Details of our capitalized software development costs and licenses are as follows:

        Software development costs and licenses as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 included $271,262 and $313,090, respectively, related to titles that have not been released.

7. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

        Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following:

8. LONG-TERM DEBT

Credit Agreement

        In October 2011, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which amended and restated our July 2007 Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $100,000, which may be increased by up to $40,000 pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the equity of our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement expires on October 17, 2016. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at our election of (a) 1.50% to 2.00% above a certain base rate (4.75% at September 30, 2012), or (b) 2.50% to 3.00% above the LIBOR Rate (approximately 2.71% at September 30, 2012), with the margin rate subject to the achievement of certain average liquidity levels. We are also required to pay a monthly fee on the unused available balance, ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% based on availability. We had no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

        Availability under the Credit Agreement is restricted by our United States and United Kingdom based accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Credit Agreement also allows for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $25,000.

        Information related to availability on our Credit Agreement is as follows:

8. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

        We recorded interest expense and fees related to the Credit Agreement of $280 and $439 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $439 and $875 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        The Credit Agreement contains covenants that substantially limit us and our subsidiaries' ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of their respective properties; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions (each subject to certain limitations); or optionally prepay any indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions, including an exception permitting the redemption of the Company's unsecured convertible senior notes upon the meeting of certain minimum liquidity requirements). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default such as nonpayment of principal and interest, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency, default on indebtedness held by third parties and default on certain material contracts (subject to certain limitations and cure periods). The Credit Agreement also contains a requirement that we maintain an interest coverage ratio of more than one to one for the trailing twelve month period, if certain average liquidity levels fall below $30,000. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the Credit Agreement.

4.375% Convertible Notes Due 2014

        In June 2009, we issued $138,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Convertible Notes due 2014 (the "4.375% Convertible Notes"). The issuance of the 4.375% Convertible Notes included $18,000 related to the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters. Interest on the 4.375% Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year, and commenced on December 1, 2009. The 4.375% Convertible Notes mature on June 1, 2014, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted.

        The 4.375% Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 93.6768 shares of our common stock per $1 principal amount of 4.375% Convertible Notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $10.675 per share of common stock for a total of approximately 12,927,000 underlying conversion shares) subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may convert the 4.375% Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2013 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 31, 2009, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1 principal amount of 4.375% Convertible Notes for each day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; (3) if we call the 4.375% Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the third scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after December 1, 2013 until the close of business on the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their

8. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

4.375% Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 4.375% Convertible Notes may be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock.

        At any time on or after June 5, 2012, the Company may redeem all of the outstanding 4.375% Convertible Notes for cash, but only if the last reported sale of our common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date we provide notice of redemption to holders of the 4.375% Convertible Notes exceeds 150% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the 4.375% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus all accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the redemption date.

        Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving the Company, holders of the 4.375% Convertible Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 4.375% Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

        The indenture governing the 4.375% Convertible Notes contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an event of default (as defined therein) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 4.375% Convertible Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) on all the 4.375% Convertible Notes to be due and payable. In the case of an event of default arising out of certain bankruptcy events, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), on the 4.375% Convertible Notes will automatically become due and payable immediately. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the indenture governing the 4.375% Convertible Notes.

        The 4.375% Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that may be expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 4.375% Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated; junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by our subsidiaries.

        In connection with the offering of the 4.375% Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions which are expected to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the 4.375% Convertible Notes. The convertible note hedge transactions allow the Company to receive shares of its common stock related to the excess conversion value that it would convey to the holders of the 4.375% Convertible Notes upon conversion. The transactions include options to purchase approximately 12,927,000 shares of common stock at $10.675 per share, expiring on June 1, 2014, for a total cost of approximately $43,600, which was charged to additional paid-in capital.

        Separately, the Company entered into a warrant transaction with a strike price of $14.945 per share. The warrants will be net share settled and will cover approximately 12,927,000 shares of the

Company's common stock and expire on August 30, 2014, for total proceeds of approximately $26,300, which was credited to additional paid-in capital.

        A portion of the net proceeds from the 4.375% Convertible Notes offering was used to pay the net cost of the convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of the warrants). We recorded approximately $3,410 of banking, legal and accounting fees related to the issuance of the 4.375% Convertible Notes which were capitalized as debt issuance costs and will be amortized to interest and other, net over the term of the 4.375% Convertible Notes.

        The following table provides additional information related to our 4.375% Convertible Notes:

        The following table provides the components of interest expense related to our 4.375% Convertible Notes:

1.75% Convertible Notes Due 2016

        On November 16, 2011, we issued $250,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes due 2016 (the "1.75% Convertible Notes" and together with the 4.375% Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). Interest on the 1.75% Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year, commencing on June 1, 2012. The 1.75% Convertible Notes mature on December 1, 2016, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted. The Company does not have the right to redeem the 1.75% Convertible Notes prior to maturity.

        The 1.75% Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 52.3745 shares of our common stock per $1 principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $19.093 per share of common stock for a total of approximately 13,094,000 underlying conversion shares) subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may convert the 1.75% Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately

preceding June 1, 2016 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after March 31, 2012, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1 principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes for each day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after June 1, 2016 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 1.75% Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 1.75% Convertible Notes may be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock.

        Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving the Company, holders of the 1.75% Convertible Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 1.75% Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

        The indenture governing the 1.75% Convertible Notes contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an event of default (as defined therein) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 1.75% Convertible Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) on all the 1.75% Convertible Notes to be due and payable. In the case of an event of default arising out of certain bankruptcy events, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), on the 1.75% Convertible Notes will automatically become due and payable immediately. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the indenture governing the 1.75% Convertible Notes.

        The 1.75% Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 1.75% Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by our subsidiaries.

        In accounting for the $6,875 of banking, legal and accounting fees related to the issuance of the 1.75% Convertible Notes, we allocated $5,428 to the liability component and $1,447 to the equity component. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to interest and other, net over the term of the 1.75% Convertible Notes, and issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in additional paid-in capital.

9. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ("EPS")

        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (shares in thousands):

        The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011; therefore, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude the impact of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating restricted stock and all common stock equivalents because their impact would be antidilutive.

        Our unvested restricted stock rights (including restricted stock units, time-based and market-based restricted stock awards) are considered participating restricted stock since these securities have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the contractual period of the award, and thus require the two-class method of computing EPS. The calculation of EPS for common stock shown above excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock rights from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those awards from the denominator. For the three and

9. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ("EPS") (Continued)

six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had approximately 6,821,000 and 4,651,000, respectively, of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating restricted stock which are excluded due to the net loss for those periods.

        The Company defines common stock equivalents as unexercised stock options, common stock equivalents underlying the Convertible Notes (see Note 8) and warrants outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are measured using the treasury stock method, except for the Convertible Notes, which are assessed for their impact on diluted EPS using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the if-converted method. Under the provisions of the if-converted method, the Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted and included in the denominator of the EPS calculation and the interest expense, net of tax, recorded in connection with the Convertible Notes is added back to the numerator.

        In connection with the issuance of our 4.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009, the Company purchased convertible note hedges (see Note 8) which were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their impact is always considered antidilutive since the call option would be exercised by the Company when the exercise price is lower than the market price. Also in connection with the issuance of our 4.375% Convertible Notes, the Company entered into warrant transactions (see Note 8).

        Other common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted EPS calculation were unexercised stock option awards of approximately 2,009,000 and 2,299,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because their effect would be antidilutive.

        For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, we issued approximately 1,037,000 and 2,838,000 shares, respectively, of common stock in connection with restricted stock awards. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, we canceled approximately 53,000 and 998,000 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted stock awards.

10. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

        We operate in one reportable segment in which we are a publisher of interactive software games designed for console systems, handheld gaming systems and personal computers, including smart phones and tablets, and are delivered through physical retail, digital download, online platforms and cloud streaming services. Our reporting segment is based upon our internal organizational structure, the manner in which our operations are managed and the criteria used by our Chief Executive Officer, our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to evaluate performance. The Company's operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. We are centrally managed and the CODM primarily uses consolidated financial information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform to make operational decisions and assess financial performance. Our business consists of our Rockstar Games and 2K labels which have been aggregated into a single reportable segment (the "publishing segment") based upon their similar economic characteristics, products and distribution methods. Revenue earned from our publishing segment is primarily derived from the sale of internally developed software titles and software titles developed on our behalf by third-parties.

Overview

Our Business

        We are a leading developer, marketer and publisher of interactive entertainment for consumers around the globe. We develop and publish products through our two wholly-owned labels Rockstar Games and 2K, which publishes its titles under the 2K Games, 2K Sports and 2K Play brands. Our products are designed for console gaming systems such as Sony's PlayStation®3 ("PS3") and PlayStation®2 ("PS2"), Microsoft's Xbox 360® ("Xbox 360") and Nintendo's Wii ("Wii"); handheld gaming systems such as Nintendo's DS ("DS"), Nintendo's 3DS ("3DS") and Sony's PlayStation Portable ("PSP"); and personal computers, including smartphones and tablets. We deliver our products through physical retail, digital download, online platforms and cloud streaming services.

        We endeavor to be the most creative, innovative and efficient company in our industry. Our core strategy is to capitalize on the popularity of video games by developing and publishing high-quality interactive entertainment experiences across a range of genres. We focus on building compelling entertainment franchises by publishing a select number of titles for which we can create sequels and add-on content. Most of our intellectual property is internally owned and developed, which we believe best positions us financially and competitively. We have established a portfolio of proprietary software content for the major hardware platforms in a wide range of genres, including action, adventure, racing, role-playing, sports and strategy, which we distribute worldwide. We believe that our commitment to creativity and innovation is a distinguishing strength, enabling us to differentiate our products in the marketplace by combining advanced technology with compelling storylines and characters that provide unique gameplay experiences for consumers. We have created, acquired or licensed a group of highly recognizable brands to match the broad consumer demographics we serve, ranging from adults to children and game enthusiasts to casual gamers. Another cornerstone of our strategy is to support the success of our products in the marketplace through innovative marketing programs and global distribution on all platforms and through all channels that are relevant to our target audience.

        Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of internally developed software titles and software titles developed by third-parties for our benefit. Operating margins are dependent in part upon our ability to continually release new, commercially successful software products and to effectively manage their development costs. We have internal development studios located in Australia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

        Software titles published by our Rockstar Games label are primarily internally developed. We expect Rockstar Games, our wholly-owned publisher of the Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne, Midnight Club, Red Dead and other popular franchises, to continue to be a leader in the action / adventure product category and create groundbreaking entertainment by leveraging our existing titles as well as developing new brands. We believe that Rockstar has established a uniquely original, popular cultural phenomenon with its Grand Theft Auto series, which is the interactive entertainment industry's most iconic and critically acclaimed brand and has sold-in over 120 million units. Rockstar continues to expand on our established franchises by releasing sequels, as well as offering downloadable episodes and content. In May 2011, Rockstar released the commercially successful and critically acclaimed L.A. Noire, which became the first video game ever chosen as an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival and has become another key franchise for the Company. Rockstar is also well known for developing brands in other genres, including the Bully and Manhunt franchises.

        2K Games has published a variety of popular entertainment properties across multiple genres and platforms and we expect 2K Games to continue to develop new and successful franchises in the future. 2K Games' internally owned and developed franchises include the critically acclaimed, multi-million unit selling BioShock, Mafia, and Sid Meier's Civilization series. 2K Games has also published titles that were externally developed, such as Borderlands, which has become a key franchise for 2K Games since its release in October 2009. 2K Games successfully launched Borderlands 2 in September 2012 and plans to support the title with four add-on content campaigns.

        2K Sports publishes realistic sports simulation titles, including our flagship NBA 2K series, which has been the top-ranked NBA basketball video game for 12 years running, the Major League Baseball 2K series, and our Top Spin tennis series. We develop most of our 2K Sports software titles through our internal development studios. 2K Sports has secured long-term licensing agreements with the National Basketball Association ("NBA"). Our current licenses with Major League Baseball Properties, the Major League Baseball Players Association and Major League Baseball Advanced Media expire in December 2012.

        2K Play focuses on developing and publishing titles for the casual and family-friendly games market. 2K Play titles are developed by both internal development studios and third-party developers. Internally developed titles include Carnival Games and Let's Cheer!. 2K Play also has an agreement with Nickelodeon to publish video games based on its top rated Nick Jr. titles such as Dora the Explorer; Go, Diego, Go!; Ni Hao, Kai-lan and The Backyardigans. Throughout the summer and fall of 2012, 2K Play released a new slate of mobile games, including Comedy Central's Indecision Game—our first mobile social game, House Pest Starring Fiasco the Cat and Gridblock. We expect family-oriented gaming to continue to be a component of our business in the future.

        We also have expansion initiatives in the rapidly growing Asia markets, where our strategy is to broaden the distribution of our existing products, expand our business in Japan, and establish an online gaming presence, especially in China and Korea. 2K Sports has secured a multi-year license from the NBA to develop an online version of the NBA simulation game in China, Taiwan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. On October 24, 2012, NBA 2K Online, the free-to-play NBA simulation game co-developed by 2K Sports and Tencent, launched commercially on the Tencent Games portal in China. In addition, during the summer of 2012, 2K Games released our first mobile social game for Japan, NBA 2K All Stars on GREE, and also announced a partnership with GREE to bring additional games to select global mobile social gaming markets.

Discontinued operations

        In February 2010, we completed the sale to SYNNEX Corporation ("Synnex") of our Jack of All Games third-party distribution business, which primarily distributed third-party interactive entertainment software, hardware and accessories in North America for approximately $44.0 million, including $37.3 million in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments, and up to an additional $6.7 million, subject to the achievement of certain items, which were not met. In April 2011, we settled on the purchase price adjustments and as a result the purchase price was lowered by $1.5 million. Consequently, the net purchase price after the settlement was $35.8 million. The financial information of our distribution business has been classified as discontinued operations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all of the periods presented. See Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

Trends and Factors Affecting our Business

        Product Release Schedule.    Our financial results are affected by the timing of our product releases and the commercial success of those titles. Our Grand Theft Auto products in particular have historically accounted for a substantial portion of our revenue. Sales of Grand Theft Auto products generated approximately 11.1% of the Company's net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012. The timing of our Grand Theft Auto releases varies significantly, which in turn may impact our financial performance on a quarterly and annual basis.

        Economic Environment and Retailer Performance.    We continue to monitor economic conditions that may unfavorably affect our businesses, such as deteriorating consumer demand, pricing pressure on our products, credit quality of our receivables, and foreign currency exchange rates. Our business is dependent upon a limited number of customers who account for a significant portion of our revenue. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 57.3% and 49.5% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, amounts due from our five largest customers comprised approximately 62.3% and 61.3% of our gross accounts receivable balance, respectively, with our significant customers (those that individually comprised more than 10% of our gross accounts receivable balance) accounting for approximately 35.8% and 40.6% of such balance at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The economic environment has affected our customers in the past, and may do so in the future. Bankruptcies or consolidations of our large retail customers could seriously hurt our business, due to uncollectible accounts receivables and the concentration of purchasing power among the remaining large retailers. Certain of our large customers sell used copies of our games, which may negatively affect our business by reducing demand for new copies of our games. While the downloadable content that we now offer for certain of our titles may serve to reduce used game sales, we expect used game sales to continue to affect our business.

        Hardware Platforms.    The majority of our products are made for the hardware platforms developed by three companies—Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Note 10 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, "Segment and Geographic Information," discloses that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo hardware platforms comprised approximately 82.7% of the Company's net revenue by product platform for the six months ended September 30, 2012. The success of our business is dependent upon the consumer acceptance of these platforms and the continued growth in the installed base of these platforms. When new hardware platforms are introduced, demand for software based on older platforms declines, which may negatively affect our business. Additionally, our development costs are generally higher for titles based on new platforms, and we have limited ability to predict the consumer acceptance of new platforms, which may affect our sales and profitability. As a result, our strategy is to focus our development efforts on a select number of the highest quality titles

for these platforms, while also expanding our offerings for emerging platforms such as mobile and online games.

        Online Content and Digital Distribution.    The interactive entertainment software industry is delivering a growing amount of content through digital online delivery methods. We provide a variety of online delivered products and services. A number of our titles that are available through retailers as packaged goods products are also available through direct digital download through the Internet (from websites we own and others owned by third-parties). We also offer downloadable add-on content to our packaged goods titles. On October 24, 2012, NBA 2K Online, the free-to-play NBA simulation game co-developed by 2K Sports and Tencent, launched commercially on the Tencent Games portal in China. In addition, during the summer of 2012, 2K Games released our first mobile social game for Japan, NBA 2K All Stars on GREE, and also announced a partnership with GREE to bring additional games to select global mobile social gaming markets. We expect online delivery of games and game services to become an increasing part of our business over the long-term.

Product Releases

        We released the following key titles during the six months ended September 30, 2012:

        We have announced the following future key titles to date (this list does not represent all titles currently in development):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Our most critical accounting policies, which are those that require significant judgment, include: revenue recognition; allowances for returns, price concessions and other allowances; capitalization and recognition of software development costs and licenses; fair value estimates including inventory obsolescence, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets; valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation; and income taxes. In-depth descriptions of these can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income

        On April 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income. The main provisions of the new guidance provide that an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income has the option to present comprehensive income as (i) a single statement that presents the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income or (ii) in two separate but consecutive statements, whereby an entity must present the components of net income and total net income in the first statement and that statement is immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income. The new rules eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. These new rules are to be applied retrospectively and become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (April 1, 2012 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

        Consolidated operating results, net revenue by geographic region and net revenue by platform as a percentage of net revenue are as follows:

Table of Contents

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to September 30, 2011

Net revenue increased $166.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily due to $185.9 million in net revenue from Borderlands 2, which released in September 2012, Spec Ops: The Line, which released in June 2012, and Max Payne 3, which released in May 2012. These increases were partially offset by $8.6 million in lower sales of L.A. Noire, which released in May 2011, and Red Dead Redemption, which released in May 2010, as well as approximately $2.9 million in lower sales of our Grand Theft Auto franchise.

        Net revenue on consoles accounted for 78.4% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 76.0% for the prior year primarily due to the September 2012 release of Borderlands 2. PC and other sales increased to 20.0% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 16.1% for the prior year primarily due to an increase in net revenue resulting from the September 2012 PC release of Borderlands 2 and the June 2012 PC releases of Max Payne 3 and Sid Meier's Civilization® V: Gods & Kings. Handheld sales accounted for 1.6% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 7.9% for the prior year primarily due to the increased proportion of total net revenue on consoles and PC and other platforms.

        Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 42.0% as compared to 30.2% for the prior year. The increase was primarily due to improved pricing mix from the release of Borderlands 2 in September 2012, lower license expense, which was primarily due to the release of Nicktoons MLB in September 2011 and lower internal royalty expense, which was primarily due to higher income generated in the prior year from the May 2011 release of L.A. Noire. Partially offsetting the increase in gross profit was higher software development costs and royalties primarily associated with the September 2012 release of Borderlands 2, which was externally developed.

        Net revenue earned outside of the United States accounted for 43.9% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 51.6% in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease as a percentage of net revenue earned outside of the United States was primarily due to the global release of Borderlands 2 in September 2012. Foreign currency exchange rates decreased net revenue and gross profit by $3.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year.

Operating Expenses

        Foreign currency exchange rates decreased total operating expenses by $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year.

Selling and marketing

        Selling and marketing expenses increased $37.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the prior year primarily due to advertising expenses incurred for the release of Borderlands 2 in September 2012.

General and administrative

        General and administrative expenses increased $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, which was primarily due to the stock-based awards granted to ZelnickMedia, a $1.5 million increase in professional fees and an increase of $0.7 million for personnel costs.

        General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 include occupancy expense (primarily rent, utilities and office expenses) of $3.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, related to our development studios.

Research and development

        Research and development expenses increased $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in personnel-related costs and a $0.6 million increase in production expenses.

Interest and other, net

        Interest and other, net was an expense of $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to an expense of $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to interest expense associated with the November 2011 issuance of the 1.75% Convertible Notes.

Provision for income taxes

        For the three months ended September 30, 2012, income tax expense was $1.1 million, as compared to income tax expense of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in gross unrecognized tax benefits and a reduction in foreign tax rates, partially offset by an increase in foreign taxable income during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

        Our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to changes in valuation allowances and changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits during the periods.

        We are regularly audited by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Audits may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe that our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments.

Net loss and net loss per share

        For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our net loss was $12.5 million, as compared to a net loss of $47.4 million in the prior year. Net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.15 as compared to a net loss per share of $0.57 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the vesting of restricted stock awards over the last twelve months. See Note 9 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding net loss per share.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to September 30, 2011

        Net revenue increased $57.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily due to $322.7 million in net revenue from Borderlands 2, which released in September 2012, Max Payne 3, which released in May 2012, and Spec Ops: The Line, which released in June 2012, as well as approximately $3.0 million in higher sales of our Grand Theft Auto franchise. These increases were partially offset by $259.6 million in lower sales of L.A. Noire, which released in May 2011, Duke Nukem Forever, which released in June 2011, Carnival Games: Monkey See, Monkey Do, which released in April 2011, and Red Dead Redemption, which released in May 2010.

        Net revenue on consoles decreased to 80.9% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 87.3% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the increased percentage of total net revenue on PC and other platforms. PC and other sales increased to

Table of Contents

17.3% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 9.6% for the prior year primarily due to an increase in net revenue resulting from the September 2012 PC release of Borderlands 2 and the June 2012 PC releases of Max Payne 3 and Sid Meier's Civilization® V: Gods & Kings, partially offset by the decrease in net revenue from the June 2011 release of Duke Nukem Forever on the PC. Handheld sales accounted for 1.8% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 which is in line with 3.1% for the prior year.

        Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was 30.8% as compared to 35.2% for the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to higher software development costs and royalties primarily associated with the September 2012 release of Borderlands 2, the May 2012 release of Max Payne 3 and the June 2012 release of Spec Ops: The Line. Partially offsetting the decrease in gross profit was improved pricing mix from the release of Borderlands 2 in September 2012, lower license expense, which was primarily due to the release of Nicktoons MLB in September 2011 and lower internal royalty expense, which was primarily due to higher income generated in the prior year from the May 2011 release of L.A. Noire.

        Net revenue earned outside of the United States accounted for 48.1% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 53.8% in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease as a percentage of net revenue earned outside of the United States was primarily due to the global releases of Borderlands 2 in September 2012 and Max Payne 3 in May 2012. Foreign currency exchange rates decreased net revenue and gross profit by $8.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year.

Operating Expenses

        Foreign currency exchange rates decreased total operating expenses by $4.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year.

Selling and marketing

        Selling and marketing expenses increased $41.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the prior year primarily due to advertising expenses incurred for the releases of Borderlands 2 in September 2012, Max Payne 3 in May 2012 and Spec Ops: The Line in June 2012, partially offset by advertising expenses incurred in the prior year for the releases of L.A. Noire in May 2011 and Duke Nukem Forever in June 2011.

General and administrative

        General and administrative expenses increased $17.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $15.0 million contractual provision that was triggered in June 2012.

        General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 include occupancy expense (primarily rent, utilities and office expenses) of $7.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively, related to our development studios.

Research and development

        Research and development expenses increased $2.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in personnel-related costs.

Interest and other, net

        Interest and other, net was an expense of $15.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to an expense of $8.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to interest expense associated with the November 2011 issuance of the 1.75% Convertible Notes.

Provision for income taxes

        For the six months ended September 30, 2012, income tax expense was $2.9 million, as compared to income tax expense of $4.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in gross unrecognized tax benefits, lower taxable earnings and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions during the six months ended September 30, 2012.

        Our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to changes in valuation allowances and changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits during the periods.

        We are generally no longer subject to audit for U.S. federal income tax returns for periods prior to our fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 and state income tax returns for periods prior to fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations in non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. U.S. federal taxing authorities have completed their audit of fiscal years ending October 31, 2008 and 2009. Certain U.S. state taxing authorities are currently examining our income tax returns from fiscal years ended October 31, 2004 through October 31, 2009. In addition, tax authorities in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions are currently examining our income tax returns. The determination as to further adjustments to our gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months is not practicable.

        We are regularly audited by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Audits may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe that our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments.

Net loss and net loss per share

        For the six months ended September 30, 2012, our net loss was $123.3 million, as compared to a net loss of $56.1 million in the prior year. Net loss per share for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.45 as compared to a net loss per share of $0.68 for the six months ended September 30, 2011. Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the vesting of restricted stock awards over the last twelve months. See Note 9

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our primary cash requirements have been to fund (i) the development, manufacturing and marketing of our published products, (ii) working capital, (iii) acquisitions and (iv) capital expenditures. We expect to rely on funds provided by our operating activities, our Credit Agreement and our Convertible Notes to satisfy our working capital needs.

Credit Agreement

        In October 2011, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which amended and restated our July 2007 Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million, which may be increased by up to $40.0 million pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the equity of our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement expires on October 17, 2016. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at our election of (a) 1.50% to 2.00% above a certain base rate (4.75% at September 30, 2012), or (b) 2.50% to 3.00% above the LIBOR Rate (approximately 2.71% at September 30, 2012), with the margin rate subject to the achievement of certain average liquidity levels. We are also required to pay a monthly fee on the unused available balance, ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% based on availability.

        Availability under the Credit Agreement is restricted by our United States and United Kingdom based accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Credit Agreement also allows for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million.

        As of September 30, 2012, there was $68.1 million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and $1.7 million of letters of credit outstanding.

        The Credit Agreement contains covenants that substantially limit us and our subsidiaries' ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of their respective properties; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions (each subject to certain limitations); or optionally prepay any indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions, including an exception permitting the redemption of the Company's unsecured convertible senior notes upon the meeting of certain minimum liquidity requirements). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default such as nonpayment of principal and interest, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency, default on indebtedness held by third parties and default on certain material contracts (subject to certain limitations and cure periods). The Credit Agreement also contains a requirement that we maintain an interest coverage ratio of more than one to one for the trailing twelve month period, if certain average liquidity levels fall below $30.0 million. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the Credit Agreement.

4.375% Convertible Notes Due 2014

        In June 2009, we issued $138.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Convertible Notes due 2014 (the "4.375% Convertible Notes"). Interest on the 4.375% Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year, and commenced on December 1, 2009. The 4.375% Convertible Notes mature on June 1, 2014, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted.

Table of Contents

        The 4.375% Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 93.6768 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 4.375% Convertible Notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $10.675 per share of common stock for a total of approximately 12,927,000 underlying conversion shares) subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may convert the 4.375% Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2013 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 31, 2009, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 4.375% Convertible Notes for each day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; (3) if we call the 4.375% Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the third scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after December 1, 2013 until the close of business on the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 4.375% Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 4.375% Convertible Notes may be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.

        At any time on or after June 5, 2012, the Company may redeem all of the outstanding 4.375% Convertible Notes for cash, but only if the last reported sale of our common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date we provide notice of redemption to holders of the 4.375% Convertible Notes exceeds 150% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the 4.375% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus all accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the redemption date.

        The indenture governing the 4.375% Convertible Notes contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the indenture governing the 4.375% Convertible Notes.

1.75% Convertible Notes Due 2016

        On November 16, 2011, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes due 2016 (the "1.75% Convertible Notes" and together with the 4.375% Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). Interest on the 1.75% Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year, commencing on June 1, 2012. The 1.75% Convertible Notes mature on December 1, 2016, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted. The Company does not have the right to redeem the 1.75% Convertible Notes prior to maturity.

        The 1.75% Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 52.3745 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $19.093 per share of common stock for a total of approximately 13,094,000 underlying conversion shares) subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may convert the 1.75% Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2016 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after March 31, 2012, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per

Table of Contents

$1,000 principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes for each day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after June 1, 2016 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 1.75% Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 1.75% Convertible Notes may be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock.

        The indenture governing the 1.75% Convertible Notes contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements outlined in the indenture governing the 1.75% Convertible Notes.

Financial Condition

        We are subject to credit risks, particularly if any of our receivables represent a limited number of customers or are concentrated in foreign markets. If we are unable to collect our accounts receivable as they become due, it could adversely affect our liquidity and working capital position.

        Generally, we have been able to collect our accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. We do not hold any collateral to secure payment from customers. We have trade credit insurance on the majority of our customers to mitigate accounts receivable risk.

        A majority of our trade receivables are derived from sales to major retailers and distributors. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 57.3% and 49.5% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, amounts due from our five largest customers comprised approximately 62.3% and 61.3% of our gross accounts receivable balance, respectively, with our significant customers (those that individually comprised more than 10% of our gross accounts receivable balance) accounting for approximately 35.8% and 40.6% of such balance at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. We believe that the receivable balances from these largest customers do not represent a significant credit risk based on past collection experience, although we actively monitor each customer's credit worthiness and economic conditions that may impact our customers' business and access to capital. We are monitoring the current global economic conditions, including credit markets and other factors as it relates to our customers in order to manage the risk of uncollectible accounts receivable.

        We believe our current cash and cash equivalents and projected cash flow from operations, along with availability under our Credit Agreement will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and commitments through at least the next 12 months.

        As of September 30, 2012, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries was approximately $142.9 million. These balances are dispersed across various locations around the world. We believe that such dispersion meets the business and liquidity needs of our foreign affiliates. In addition, the Company expects in the foreseeable future to have the ability to generate sufficient cash domestically to support ongoing operations. Consequently, it is the Company's intention to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. In the event the Company needed to repatriate funds outside of the U.S., such repatriation may be subject to local laws and tax consequences including foreign withholding taxes or U.S. income taxes. It is not practicable to estimate the tax liability and the Company would try to minimize the tax impact to the extent possible. However, any repatriation may not result in actual cash payments as the taxable event would likely be offset by the utilization of the then available net operating losses and tax credits.

        Our changes in cash flows were as follows:

        At September 30, 2012 we had $328.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $420.3 million at March 31, 2012. Our decrease in cash and cash equivalents from March 31, 2012 was primarily a result of net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to investments in software development.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial parties, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

International Operations

        Net revenue earned outside of the United States is principally generated by our operations in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada and Latin America. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, approximately 43.9% and 51.6%, respectively, of our net revenue was earned outside of the United States. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, approximately 48.1% and 53.8%, respectively, of our net revenue was earned outside of the United States. We are subject to risks inherent in foreign trade, including increased credit risks, tariffs and duties, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, shipping delays and international political, regulatory and economic developments, all of which can have a significant effect on our operating results.

Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results and Seasonality

        We have experienced fluctuations in quarterly operating results as a result of the timing of the introduction of new titles; variations in sales of titles developed for particular platforms; market acceptance of our titles; development and promotional expenses relating to the introduction of new titles; sequels or enhancements of existing titles; projected and actual changes in platforms; the timing and success of title introductions by our competitors; product returns; changes in pricing policies by us and our competitors; the accuracy of retailers' forecasts of consumer demand; the size and timing of acquisitions; the timing of orders from major customers; and order cancellations and delays in product shipment. Sales of our titles are also seasonal, with higher shipments typically occurring in the fourth calendar quarter as a result of increased demand for titles during the holiday season. Quarterly comparisons of operating results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

        Historically, fluctuations in interest rates have not had a significant impact on our operating results. Under our Credit Agreement, outstanding balances bear interest at our election of (a) 1.50% to 2.00% above a certain base rate (4.75% at September 30, 2012), or (b) 2.50% to 3.00% above the LIBOR rate (approximately 2.71% at September 30, 2012), with the margin rate subject to the achievement of certain average liquidity levels. Changes in market rates may impact our future interest expense if there is an outstanding balance on our line of credit. The 1.75% Convertible Notes and the 4.375% Convertible Notes pay interest semi-annually at a fixed rate of 1.75% and 4.375%, respectively, per annum and we expect that there will be no fluctuation related to the Convertible Notes impacting our cash component of interest expense. For additional details on our Convertible Notes see Note 8 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

        We transact business in foreign currencies and are exposed to risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accounts relating to foreign operations are translated into United States dollars using prevailing exchange rates at the relevant period end. Translation adjustments are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, our foreign currency translation gain adjustment was approximately $0.3 million. We recognized a foreign currency exchange transaction loss for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cash Flow Hedging Activities

        We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with forecasted transactions involving non-functional currency denominated expenditures. These contracts, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts is reported as either assets or liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. The gross amount of the effective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold or research and development expenses, as appropriate, in the period when the forecasted transaction is recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event that the gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are deemed to be ineffective, the ineffective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value, if any, is reclassified to interest and other, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event that the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes probable that they will not occur, within the defined hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest and other, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the reporting periods, all forecasted transactions occurred, and therefore, there were no such gains or losses reclassified into interest and other, net. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes. At September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, we had $10.2 million of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars all of which have maturities of less than one year. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of these outstanding forward contracts was immaterial and is included in prepaid expenses and other. As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of these outstanding forward contracts was immaterial and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Balance Sheet Hedging Activities

        We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with non-functional currency denominated cash balances and inter- company funding loans, non-functional currency denominated accounts receivable and non-functional currency denominated accounts payable. These transactions are not designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts is reported as either assets or liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are reported in interest and other, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes. At September 30, 2012, we had $56.3 million of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars all of which have maturities of less than one year. At March 31, 2012, we had $4.0 million of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars and $28.3 million of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars all of which have maturities of less than one year. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded losses of $1.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded gains of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the fair value of these outstanding forward contracts was immaterial and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

        Our hedging programs are designed to reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of currency exchange rate movements. We believe the counterparties to these foreign currency forward contracts are creditworthy multinational commercial banks and that the risk of counterparty nonperformance is not material. Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate some foreign currency exchange rate risks, there can be no assurance that our hedging activities will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, 48.1% of the Company's revenue was generated outside the United States. Using sensitivity analysis, a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would decrease revenues by 4.8%, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would increase revenues by 4.8%. In the opinion of management, a substantial portion of this fluctuation would be offset by cost of goods sold and operating expenses incurred in local currency.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
