What to make from THQ’s Fiscal 2010 Third Quarter Report?ما الذي يمكن استنتاجه من التقرير الفصلي الثالث لشركة تي اتش كيو

Companies must talk to their investors, reporting how well they’ve done in the last quarter, and discuss their future plans to make more money. THQ’s president and CEO, Brian Farrell, has revealed many things in THQ’s fiscal third quarter report. He announced that sequels were incoming for Saint’s Row (slated for 2012), Red Faction (slated for 2011), Darksiders and even de Blob. In the four weeks following its release, THQ has shipped 1.2 million copies of Darksiders in the US alone. THQ considers that a success and is already planning a sequel for their fiscal year 2012. THQ also reported a net income of $1.4 million and sales of $701.5 million in the final nine months of the year, compared with a net loss of $334.2 million, in the prior-year period.

He continued, “We expect to demonstrate continued improvement in fiscal 2011, after the significant turnaround in fiscal 2010. We believe this momentum will carry us into fiscal 2012, when we expect to see accelerated growth with three major core game titles scheduled. Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine,  a sequel to Darksiders, and a third generation of our popular Saints Row franchise.”
