The company\u2019s third-quarter results in the previous year benefited from the post-launch performance of Red Dead Redemption and the releases of Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare and Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete.<\/p>\n<p>Take-Two\u2019s GAAP income from continuing operations was $14.2 million, or $0.16 per share, compared with $40.8 million, or $0.45 per share reported for the same period in the previous year. The company\u2019s non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $29 million, or $0.27 per share, compared with $49.5 million, or $0.52 per share reported for the same period in the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>The company said that the strongest contributors to net revenue in the third quarter were the release of NBA 2K12, catalog sales led by the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Red Dead Redemption, Midnight Club Los Angeles and Borderlands, and the continued sales of L.A. Noire.<\/p>\n<p>Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two, said that during the fiscal third quarter, the company continued to execute strategically, creatively and operationally. Zelnick said that the company delivered results that were solidly within its expectations, driven by strong holiday demand for NBA 2K12, the popular catalog titles and digital offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Zelnick also said that the company\u2019s future performance is extraordinarily promising and it has a proven strategy focused on building compelling interactive entertainment franchises, the strongest development pipeline in its history and ample resources to pursue its many growth opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gold-prices-drop-on-jobs-report\/20224\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Drop on Jobs Report<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-rally-on-strong-jobs-report\/20223\"><br \/>\nStocks Rally on Strong Jobs Report<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gold-and-silver-prices-sharply-lower-in-mid-day-trading\/20220\"><br \/>\nGold and Silver Prices Sharply Lower in Mid-Day Trading<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/estee-lauder-companies-shares-slip-on-earnings-outlook-el\/20218\"><br \/>\nEstee Lauder Companies Shares Slip on Earnings Outlook (EL)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-headed-for-a-strong-finish-16\/20216\"><br \/>\nStocks Headed for a Strong Finish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-extend-gains-in-mid-day-trading-as-jobs-report-lifts-sentiment\/20209\"><br \/>\nStocks Extend Gains in Mid-Day Trading as Jobs Report Lifts Sentiment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/bebe-stores-announces-fiscal-second-quarter-2012-retail-sales\/20207\"><br \/>\nbebe stores &#8211; Announces Fiscal Second Quarter 2012 Retail Sales<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
