EA losses deepen to $322m

Publisher EA has reported a net loss of $322m for its Q3 ending December 31st 2010 – a year-on-year increase of nearly 300 per cent.

Revenues for the period were down 15 per cent at $1.05bn.

Yet demonstrating its continued belief in John Riccitiello’s rescue plan, the publisher last night announced a $600m share buyback plan to be implemented over the next 18 months. On the back of the news, the company’s share price rose nine per cent.
