2021 Proxy Statement 1 Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Letter from our CEO and Incoming Board Chair Dear Fellow Stockholders, We hope that you and your families are well. During our fiscal year 2021, we navigated through the largest public health crisis of the last 100 years. We also participated in a number of important cultural conversations in our world. Through many challenges, we’re proud of how Electronic Arts delivered for our employees, players, communities, and stockholders in fiscal 2021, and positioned ourselves for continued growth and impact in the years ahead. We Executed our Strategic Priorities While Supporting our People Our management team acted swiftly and decisively through the year with a focus on the health and well-being of our workforce. Early in the pandemic, we directed our teams to work from home, suspended travel, and adopted new digital collaboration tools. Internal teams were formed to manage the response, we increased the frequency of our communications and employee surveys, and rolled out temporary benefit programs supporting our people and their families. While prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of our global workforce, we continued to execute against our strategic pillars. We launched 13 major games, including many that were supported by robust live services, and led the way with innovative games for a new generation of consoles. We added tens of millions of new players to our global network, and we scaled our subscription offering to new platforms. We also completed three acquisitions to complement our strategy and contribute to future growth. In delivering these achievements, we significantly exceeded our initial revenue, net bookings, and operating cash flow guidance for the fiscal year.
