Electronic Arts has released its full-year financial earnings report, and things aren\u2019t looking too bad for the big publisher and \u201cWorst Company in America\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Total revenue for the twelve months ended 31 March 2013 was $3.7-billion, which was down from the $4.1-billion recorded in the prior year.<\/p>\n

EA wrapped up with an operating income of $121 million, which was a vast increase over the $35 million from the 2012 fiscal year.<\/p>\n

Digital revenue was a strong point for EA, as mobile games, online offerings and other new digital products rose 45 percent year-over-year to $628 million.<\/p>\n

In terms of the actual game sales, EA managed to sell 14.5 million units of FIFA 13, while also racking up 1.56 million sales SimCity, despite the game having a less-than-satisfactory launch.<\/p>\n

EA\u2019s other big-hitters, Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3, underwhelmed by missing their respective forecasts.<\/p>\n

EA is also looking to a brighter 2014 fiscal year, with the publisher planning to release 11 major titles, including Battlefield 4 and the Sims 4, compared to the 13 titles in fiscal year 2013.<\/p>\n

The fiscal year 2014 expectation sees the company’s net revenue at $3.5-billion.<\/p>\n
