Vivendi Games Earnings Up 109%
World of Warcraft remains leading revenue driver for games division.
by Wade Steel
May 17, 2006 - In what has become a standard disclosure, Vivendi Games reported today that its earnings from operations for the first fiscal quarter increased by 109% over the same period last year to about $30 million largely due to the strength of its wildly-successful World of Warcraft MMORPG.
According to the company, the "dramatic" improvement in revenue growth was fueled by "an increased proportion relating to the higher margin of World of Warcraft business." Interestingly, in the same report, Vivendi states that the earnings figures include increased development costs incurred by Blizzard, WoW's developer. The report did not specify if these costs were related to the upcoming WoW expansion The Burning Crusade or some other unannounced project.
