By  •  November 5, 2008

AGOURA HILLS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 5, 2008–THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2008, reduced its financial outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, and announced a significant business realignment.

Second Quarter Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, THQ reported net sales of $164.8 million, compared with $229.3 million in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported fiscal 2009 second quarter net sales of $151.6 million. Fiscal 2009 second quarter sales reflect a lighter new release schedule than the prior-year period, and included the international roll-out of games based on Disney/Pixar’s WALL-E and initial global shipments of new original Wii(TM) title de Blob(TM).

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the company reported a net loss of $115.3 million, or $1.73 per share, which included a non-cash charge of $1.21 per share related to a valuation allowance and the related tax effects for its deferred tax assets. In the same period a year ago, the company reported a net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.11 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported a fiscal 2009 second quarter net loss of $30.4 million, or $0.46 per share. This was below the company’s previous guidance of a loss of $0.35 to $0.39 per share, primarily due to lower-than-anticipated international sales of WALL-E and higher-than-expected sales returns and allowances. In the same quarter a year ago, the company reported a non-GAAP net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.03 per share.
