Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer of Majesco, said, "Despite what is normally a seasonally weak time for our business, Majesco experienced another strong quarter. Driven by strength in Europe this past quarter, Zumba® Fitness has now sold over 3 million units worldwide. The growth of the Zumba phenomenon overall has us very excited about Zumba® Fitness 2, the much anticipated sequel coming this November for Wii. We also feel great about BloodRayne: Betrayal and were ecstatic when Sony chose this fan-favorite title to be one of four games to be featured worldwide in Sony's PLAY promotion. Critics seem to agree as IGN rated this title 9/10 and Joystiq concurred with a 4.5/5. We think this may be our strongest holiday lineup yet, with Zumba® Fitness 2 complemented by two Mama titles, Hulk Hogan's Main Event for Kinect, Twister® Mania for Kinect, and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked for Kinect, Wii and DS, as well as a broad array of additional content for Kinect and the 3DS, the two most exciting new platforms in the marketplace today. Compared to last year's release slate of four or five key titles, we have at least 10 titles coming out this holiday based on proven, marketable brands."

Highlights

  • Third quarter 2011 net revenues were $19.5 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 61 percent, compared to the same quarter last year. Growth was driven by the continued success of Zumba® Fitness, which has now sold over 3 million units worldwide.
  • Gross margin for the third quarter 2011 was 40.7 percent, compared to 22.9 percent in 2010. The expansion in gross margin was driven by the premium price points of Zumba® Fitness, compared with lower priced titles a year ago.

Zumba® Fitness for Wii is distributed in Europe by a licensing partner of Majesco. The game is also the #1 Wii fitness game of 2011 in the United States based on NPD data.

Players can purchase almost every kind of imaginable vehicle (from motorcycles to monster trucks) and building storefronts (from taco stands to banks), but ticketing is the real fun. The longer players keep cars parked on their friends' streets -- legally or illegally -- the more money they'll earn, but be careful.... The parking signs change frequently and your friends are waiting to steal your cash with another parking violation!

  • Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic for Nintendo 3DS lets players cook in brand new ways with the Nintendo 3DS gyroscope: crack eggs, flip pans, balance plates and much more by moving the 3DS itself.

It's within this dangerous microscopic world that players will navigate a Nanite ship through a cellular system, maneuvering through alien cell clusters, fighting off infections, and analyzing and destroying the virus' core to ultimately save humanity.

Fiscal 2011 Outlook

The Company expects fiscal 2011 full year net revenue in a range of $120 to $130 million, up from the prior range of $110 to $120 million, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.35 to $0.38, up from $0.30 to $0.35. This outlook is based on an estimated fully diluted share count of approximately 40 million, and assumes non-cash compensation of approximately $0.04 to $0.05 per share for fiscal 2011. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures due to the potential effects that changes in its stock price may have on the fair value of outstanding warrants.
