Majesco's Q3 Sales Up 19% on Gardening Mama (Gardening Mama)

15/09/2009

Majesco Entertainment today reported its third quarter fiscal results for the period ended July 31. Net revenue climbed 18.9% to $17.2 million, driven in large part by the Cooking Mama franchise (which has sold 4.5 million to date) and the new Gardening Mama title, but the company suffered a net loss of $5.2 million in the quarter, compared to net profit of $500,000 a year earlier.

Majesco put much of the blame on Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian, but titles like Go Play Lumberjack and Circus Star underperformed as well. So far, for the first nine months of the publisher's fiscal year, sales are up 53.7% to $70.6 million, but net loss is at $2.7 million versus net income of $3.0 million a year ago at this time.

"Yesterday we reported that Sierra's Geometry Wars: Galaxies for the Nintendo DS and Wii had been pushed back to January 18th, 2008, and to a certain extent it was true - but only for Europe. Galaxies is still on track for the Wii release on the 20th and the DS release a week later in North America according to Sierra, who dropped us a line last night to clear things up. We report on global gaming events, and sometimes the global part gets us a little dizzy. Have you seen that thing spin? Mesmerizing I tell you. So in summary, North American gamers be happy, European gamers continue lamenting. We'll keep you updated should your emotional state need to change any further."
