Good day, and welcome to the Activision Blizzard Quarter 1 2015 Earnings Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time for opening remarks and introductions, I would like to turn today's call over to Amrita Ahuja. Please go ahead, ma'am. Amrita Ahuja - Sr. Vice President, Investor Relations: Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today for Activision Blizzard's First Quarter 2015 Conference Call. Speaking on the call today will be Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard; Dennis Durkin, CFO of Activision Blizzard; Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing; Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard Entertainment; and Thomas Tippl, COO of Activision Blizzard. I would like to remind everyone that during this call we will be making statements that are not historical facts. These are forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause the company's actual future results and other future circumstances to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, including the factors discussed in the Risk Factor sections of our SEC filings, including our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is on file with the SEC, and those indicated on the slide that is showing. The forward-looking statements in the presentation are based on information available to the company as of the date of this presentation, and while we believe them to be true, they ultimately may prove to be incorrect. The company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after today, May 6, 2015, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. I would like to note that certain numbers we will be presenting today will be made on a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of the change in deferred net revenues and related cost of sales with respect to certain of our online-enabled games, expenses related to stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangible assets, expenses, including legal fees, costs, expenses and accruals related to the purchase transaction, and related debt financing and the associated tax benefits. Please refer to our earnings release which is posted on www.activisionblizzard.com for a full GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation and further explanation. There's also a PowerPoint overview which you can access with the webcast and which will be posted to the website following the call. In addition we will also be posting a financial overview highlighting both GAAP and non-GAAP results and a one-page summary sheet. And now I'd like to introduce our CEO, Bobby Kotick. Robert A. Kotick - President, Chief Executive Officer & Director: Thank you, Amrita. Usually I end my remarks by thanking our incredibly talented, extraordinarily committed employees around the world, but today I'm leading with it because they are, in fact, the reason we remain one of the world's most successful game companies. And also, during this quarter, for the first time we were recognized by Fortune as one of the 100 best companies to work for. Inclusion on this list is largely determined by employee survey results and to be recognized as a great place to work by a respected institution like Fortune is gratifying and rewarding, but being acknowledged as a great institution by our own people means more to me than just about anything. And I'd like to thank our wildly talented, inspired, driven, and hard-working teams for everything they do to capture the imagination of tens of millions of people day after day. Our talented teams around the world continue to create experiences that inspire our players, drive deeper levels of engagement in our games by our massive and growing global community's events (3:36). In the last 12 months we had over 150 million active users around the world playing our games for more than 12 billion hours and spectators watching over 1 billion hours of linear content based on our games. In the hour we'll spend on this conference call, we expect over 1 million people to interact with Activision Blizzard franchises alone. And in the past year our communities grew by more than 25%. This deepening level of engagement with a widening base of players across our franchises is what drove another successful quarter. We delivered better than expected Q1 results, increased our 2015 non-GAAP revenue outlook to $4.425 billion, and our earnings per share outlook to $1.20 per share. On a non-GAAP basis we delivered record higher margin digital revenues of over $0.5 billion dollars, a first quarter record on an absolute basis and an all-time high on a percentage basis. As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we continue to create extraordinary entertainment for our fans. We couldn't be more excited to continue to do so for another 35 years. Our greatest achievement continues to be our ability to attract and retain the most talented employees around the world. And because of that I have never been more excited or confident about our future. And now I'll turn the call over to Dennis. Dennis M. Durkin - Chief Financial Officer: Thanks, Bobby. Good afternoon, everyone. Today I will review our better than expected Q1 financial results, our outlook for Q2, and our increased outlook for 2015. Q1 was a great quarter that displayed strong trends on our year-round monetizing franchises. We overperformed our non-GAAP February guidance by over $60 million on revenue, $100 million on operating income, and $0.11 on EPS. Even though we had a relatively lighter slate in Q1 this year, non-GAAP revenue and EPS were flat to Q1 last year on a constant FX basis given strong digital trends. Non-GAAP digital revenues comprised a record percentage of overall revenues, up 800 basis points year-over-year. Turning to our financial results. Please refer to our earnings release for full non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliation. Also the numbers I'll be quoting are compared to the prior year unless otherwise noted. For the quarter, on a GAAP basis, we generated revenues of $1.3 billion, up 15% year-over-year, an operating margin of 43% up from 37% last year, and a record quarterly GAAP EPS of $0.53, up 33% year-over-year and up $0.16 versus our February guidance. For the quarter on a non-GAAP basis, we generated revenues of $703 million, an operating margin of 29% and EPS of $0.16. Of the $0.11 in non-GAAP EPS overperformance versus guidance, about $0.05 was related to timing for costs that shifted out of the quarter, and about $0.06 was related to strong franchise momentum including digital sales and engagement trends with our large community of fans. Activision Publishing had a strong season pass, downloadable content, and expansion attach rates on both Call of Duty and Destiny. Console full game downloads represent a high teen share of total units and continue to increase year-over-year. Blizzard Entertainment had steady and strong performance on Hearthstone with ongoing engagement on the Q4 expansion Goblins vs Gnomes. As mentioned during our February earnings call and consistent with our experience following prior expansions, we saw a decline in World of Warcraft subscribers. Subscribers ended the quarter at 7.1 million. World of Warcraft's revenue performance at constant FX has been more stable driven by continued strong uptake on value-added services and price increases in select regions, which partially offset the subscriber declines particularly in the east. Moreover, Blizzard has successfully expanded their portfolio over the recent past and continues to do so. Growth from franchises like Hearthstone and Diablo have boosted Blizzard's top line and have pushed Blizzard's non-World of Warcraft revenue stream from 30% of total revenue in 2013 to 40% of total revenue in 2014, even while the World of Warcraft revenues also increased in that period. And new franchises like Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm are expected to further expand non-World of Warcraft revenue to more than 50% share of the Blizzard business in 2015. So strong recurring franchise diversification is in process inside the Blizzard portfolio, which sets us up for a bright 2016 and beyond. Turning to specific P&L items, please note that all percentages are based on revenues except for the tax rate. For Q1 GAAP product costs were 20%, operating expenses were 37%, and operating margin was 43%. GAAP and non-GAAP interest expense was $50 million and our GAAP tax rate was 20%. Our GAAP and non-GAAP fully diluted weighted share count was 741 million including participating securities. On a non-GAAP basis for the quarter, product costs were 21%, operating expenses were 50%, and operating margin was 29%. Our adjusted EBITDA margin was 32%. Our non-GAAP tax rate was 24%. In terms of cash flow in Q1, we generated strong cash flow with non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $223 million, operating cash flow of $209 million, and free cash flow of $188 million after CapEx. We also repaid $250 million of our term loan in February, and next week, on May 13th, we plan to pay a $0.23 per share cash dividend or approximately $167 million in aggregate to shareholders of record as of March 30. Turning to the balance sheet, as of March, 31, we had approximately $4.5 billion in cash and investments of which over $1 billion was held domestically. We had total debt of $4.12 billion and net cash of $360 million. Turning to FX. Please note that as discussed on our February call, currency fluctuations continue to be a headwind that we will monitor. In Q1 the year-over-year impact of the strengthening dollar was $68 million on revenue and $0.03 on EPS. As mentioned, both revenue and EPS would have been flat year-over-year at constant FX. In summary, Q1 was a very strong start to the year for Activision Blizzard. So, now let's turn to our slate and our outlook for Q2 and for the balance of 2015. Our expected Q2 slate from Activision Publishing includes additional downloadable content releases from Call of Duty and Destiny and continued live operations during the open beta for Call of Duty Online in China. Blizzard Entertainment's Q2 slate is a robust offering across the portfolio including Hearthstone's new adventure, Blackrock Mountain, Hearthstone's important iOS and Android smartphone releases, Diablo III's launch in China, StarCraft: Legacy of the Void's closed beta, and Heroes of the Storm's launch in June. In Q2 we also expect to begin the ramp in sales and marketing spending for our major releases in the back half of the year. Now to the numbers. For Q2 on a GAAP basis we expect net revenues of $930 million, product costs of 20% and operating expenses of 52%. We expect a GAAP and non-GAAP interest expense of $50 million, a GAAP tax rate of 25%, a GAAP and non-GAAP share count of 745 million, and EPS of $0.21. For Q2 on a non-GAAP basis, we expect revenues of $650 million, product costs of 19%, and operating expenses of 63%. We expect a non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 26% and non-GAAP EPS of $0.07. Our expected Q3 and Q4 slate from Activision Publishing is one of the strongest we've ever had, including the biggest addition to the Destiny universe yet, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, which we are very excited about, a new innovative release for Skylanders, and the return of one of our most beloved IPs with Guitar Hero Live, as well as further ramp up of our audience playing Call of Duty Online in China. Blizzard Entertainment will bring additional content and live service updates to World of Warcraft, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm, as well as bring Overwatch into closed beta. Now to our 2015 full-year numbers. For 2015 on a GAAP basis we expect revenues of $4.25 billion, an increase of $110 million versus our guidance in February, product costs of 23% and operating expenses of 50%. For both GAAP and non-GAAP we expect interest expense of $202 million. Our GAAP tax rate is expected to be 22%. We expect 750 million fully diluted shares both for GAAP and non-GAAP, and GAAP EPS is expected to be $0.98, up $0.09 from the February guidance. For 2015 on a non-GAAP basis, we expect revenues of $4.425 billion, $25 million higher than our February guidance, product costs of 24%, operating expenses of 45%, and an operating margin of 31%, 100 basis points better than the February guidance. Our non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be 24%. For the year we are raising our full year outlook by $0.05 to $1.20. As I mentioned earlier, strong business momentum in Q1 amounted to $0.06 of EPS favorability, which is partially offset by $0.01 of FX headwind, given the further strengthening of the dollar since we last gave guidance in February. See our accompanying earning materials for FX assumptions. So in summary the transition to digital continues inside of our business, helping to further drive our year-round engagement and monetization model, where our community can play and invest in their experiences throughout the entire year. Along with these digital trends, our strategic investments in new franchises, platforms, and geographies are paying off and set the stage for growth ahead. Now I will turn the call over to Eric to discuss Activision Publishing. Eric Hirshberg - Chief Executive Officer, Activision Publishing, Inc.: Thanks, Dennis. Activision Publishing is off to a great start, and in Q1 we significantly outperformed last year's results with revenues up 28% year-on-year. We have two of the top five video game franchises globally year-to-date. We continue to have three of the top five next-gen games life to date, with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare remaining the number one title on next-gen, as it has since its launch six months ago. Including toys, Skylanders is also the number one console franchise and title globally in Q1, outsold the number one action figure line globally and of course was the number one kids console franchise and title globally. Over the past few years we have methodically and effectively expanded our portfolio which now includes three industry-leading franchises, each one of which keeps players engaged all year-round. This engagement creates a virtuous cycle, great content leading to large engaged communities, leading to our ability to monetize those communities by providing more great content. This is why we had the biggest Q1 online player community in our history, up double-digit percentages year-over-year and it is also why, based on our current trajectory, Activision Publishing will likely deliver our biggest year yet of digital revenues. So let me share a few more specifics by franchise starting with Call of Duty. In the first quarter revenue was up by a double-digit percentage year-over-year, due to the strong sell through of Advanced Warfare and growing online revenues per user across our recent Call of Duty titles. Sales of season pass and map packs were up significantly, and we introduced a new consumable digital mechanic in Advanced Warfare which drove engagement and allowed our players to invest more deeply in their online experience. We recently revealed Call of Duty: Black Ops III from award winning studio, Treyarch. Nearly 100 million players have played Black Ops and Black Ops II, making Black Ops the most played series in Call of Duty history. In fact, Call of Duty: Black Ops II originally released in 2012, continues to exhibit record-setting engagement this long after release with millions of actively engaged players who are now eager for the next installment of the series. Black Ops II is Treyarch's first three-year development cycle, and they've been making the most of it with unparalleled depth of content across three modes of play. The campaign can be played as a full single player game or as a co-op game with up to four players. The multi-player experience is the deepest we've ever offered in Call of Duty, and the mind blowing third mode, Call of Duty: Zombies experience features its own XP progression system for the first time. Another benefit of the three-year cycle is that we've been able to get the press hands-on with the game earlier than ever before, and the response has been phenomenal. In fact, positive media sentiment is double what it was last year, and mind you, last year was our previous high water mark. We're confident that anyone who gets their hands on the game will agree, which is why we're going to have hands-on multiplayer at E3, as well as this year our first beta in years. Fans who pre-order the game now on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 or PC will have access to the beta. On to Call of Duty Online which commenced open beta in January in China, the largest gaming market in the world. We're seeing good early trend, especially with high engagement from core first person action players. As we said on our last call, this is a game and a business model that will take time to ramp, and we're now working with our partner Tencent to expand our audience base. We continue to be enthusiastic, both about the opportunity in China, and about the long-term prospects for our game. Turning now to Destiny, which continues to have incredible online engagements from millions of active players. In fact, these players are still playing on average about three hours a day, as they have been since launch, with strong digital sales and expansion attach rates. In all, Destiny has now received 299 awards, including 31 wins for Game of the Year, most recently adding Action Game of the Year from DICE and Game of the Year at the BAFTAs. And every day, our great partner at Bungie continues to make the game and online experience better. Later this month we plan to launch Destiny's second major expansion pack, House of Wolves, yet another great piece of content to keep our fans engaged. And in the fall, we'll have a major release, which will be the biggest content addition yet to the Destiny universe, and you'll hear more about that soon. On to Skylanders, the industry's top console franchise and title of year so far. Skylanders has its own unique engagement and monetization loop, real world toy purchases that enable new and different play experiences in the game, and which roll out in waves for our fans throughout the year. As with our other franchises, Skylanders' average revenue per user has grown year-over-year. And while the toys to life category that we created is increasingly competitive, we believe it remains highly attractive, and one that we will continue to lead with industry-best innovation and gameplay. We'll have more details to share soon about the next installment in the Skylanders franchise, which will once again bring fresh innovation to the category and expand the audience even further. Finally, Guitar Hero: in April, we announced a fall 2015 return for the beloved franchise, which has been played by over 40 million gamers. Consumers' affinity for the brand remains incredibly strong, and we've spent years developing meaningful, creative innovation. The new Guitar Hero game is one game with two ways to play. Guitar Hero Live lets fans rock real crowds with real reactions, and Guitar Hero TV is the world's first playable music video network, which offers hundreds of songs and additional content to constantly engage our players. The game will be available across console, smartphone and tablet devices. The fan and media response to our reveal has been overwhelmingly positive and we couldn't be more excited to share additional details later this summer. Overall, we had a great start to 2015 across our portfolio of titles and we look forward to sharing more news with you at E3. So thanks. And I'll now turn the call over to Mike to talk about Blizzard. Michael Morhaime - Chief Executive Officer of Blizzard Entertainment, Activision Blizzard, Inc.: Thanks, Eric. Compared to last year's launch of Hearthstone, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, and presales for Warlords of Draenor, this year's Q1 was relatively quiet for Blizzard Entertainment. Despite this, we continue to have strong performance in terms of engagement. Without any major launches, Battle.net still ended the quarter with the largest Q1 player community in our history, up double digits percentage-wise year-over-year. This reflects ongoing strength across our portfolio of games. On the World of Warcraft front, we launched the first Warlords of Draenor update in Q1, adding new content, Twitter integration and more. This update increased stability in the last few weeks of the quarter. Warlords of Draenor brought more players back than any previous expansion, and showed that even long time lapsed players will return when the right content is offered. On that note, we recently revealed the next major update for the game, which will add a ton of new content that will appeal to players across a range of play styles. That's currently on our public test realm and we're looking forward to getting it into players' hands as quickly as possible. We also announced the WoW Token System. Players who purchase a WoW Token priced at $20 can exchange that token with another player for gold. The player who received the token can then redeem it for one month's game time, or a set amount of play time in China. This provides two benefits: It enables players to pay for their subscriptions with their gold, and it provides players with a secure method for purchasing gold in game. We just launched World of Warcraft Tokens in April, so it's too early to see the long-term impact, but many players welcome the service and have been using it actively. This was also a big quarter for Heroes of the Storm, our highly anticipated online team brawler. More than 11 million people have signed up for the closed beta test, which went live in January. We're seeing a lot of anticipation in the gaming community and we're continuing to collect great feedback from our beta testers as we drive toward the launch on June 2. To showcase the action and depth that the game offers, we recently sponsored a collegiate eSports tournament, which we dubbed Heroes of the Dorm. Thousands of players formed teams at over 460 schools across the U.S. and Canada. And similar to March Madness, we created a 64-team bracket after a few qualifying rounds. Those teams then battled their way to the finals, which were televised live by ESPN. This was the network's first ever live telecast of a collegiate eSports event. The competition was intense throughout the tournament and we saw the formation of many potential Heroes of the Storm college rivalries. I'd like to congratulate the Cal Berkeley Golden Bears on their championship victory. We also saw widespread positive commentary across a range of online communities about the event. This is a testament to the fact that Heroes of the Storm is not only fun to play, it's fun to watch. We think it has great potential as a spectator sport. Q1 was also an important quarter for Hearthstone. Despite no new content releases, engagement and revenues were steady quarter-over-quarter and in fact have remained relatively stable since launch. The performance for the quarter was driven by a sustained pick-up of Goblins vs Gnomes. Players have really enjoyed the mechanics of the new cards, and we've seen some incredibly creative deck strategies. During the last two weeks of March, we held presales for our second adventure, Blackrock Mountain. We were pleased to see that enthusiasm for the new content was even stronger than it was with Curse of Naxxramas last August, with 40% more sales in the same timeframe. That enthusiasm continued with the launch of Blackrock Mountain in April which was followed by the iPhone and Android phone versions of Hearthstone a few weeks later. The mobile phone versions pushed Hearthstone to the number one spot for game downloads in over 25 countries across North America, Europe and Asia, and quickly drove the game to a new milestone of more than 30 million players. Hearthstone continues to be very popular with players worldwide and we're already hard at work on our next release for the game. We also recently started beta testing the Chinese version of Diablo III together with NetEase in March. There has been a lot of anticipation for the game in China with about 3 million players signing up for the closed beta test. Two weeks ago we launched the open beta test, opening up the game to everyone else in China. Chinese players are able to access the base experience for free and can buy much of the content from Reaper of Souls via an add-on, which is already available for purchase across two offerings priced at $32 and $64. In fact, we just announced with NetEase that Diablo III has already achieved over 1 million unit sales in China, which is a fantastic reception from the community. We look forward to building on that momentum as we drive towards the commercial launch. Lastly, at the end of the quarter we kicked off the closed beta test for Legacy of the Void, the final chapter of StarCraft II. We know the StarCraft community is eager to play through the conclusion of the story and we've already seen great positive feedback about the game's new multi-player features. Archon Mode, which allows two players to team up and share control of an army has gotten a very enthusiastic response. We're excited about this feature in particular because it greatly increases accessibility for the game. As I mentioned previously, Legacy of the Void will be a stand-alone expansion that doesn't require either of the first two releases. So, it will be easier than ever for players to get into the game and experience all of the latest content. On the eSports side, Season 1 of the StarCraft II World Championship Series came to an exciting conclusion with our finals event in France at the beginning of April. Season 2 is now underway and the finals are set to take place at the Metro Convention Center in Toronto at the end of June. It's a thrill to see the top StarCraft II players in the world compete for a spot in the global finals, so I hope you'll tune in online if you can't make it in person. To recap, we had a great start to the year. With more games in more genres and on more platforms than ever before, it doesn't look like things will be slowing down any time soon. We announced that BlizzCon 2015 will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center on November 6 and November 7, and tickets for the event sold out quickly once again. We're going to have a lot to talk about at the show as well as in the months ahead. So now I will turn the call over to Thomas. Thomas Tippl - Chief Operating Officer: Thanks, Mike. Before we open the call to Q&A, I'll take a moment to summarize the key takeaways from today's call. First, 2015 is off to a great start. We over-delivered the plan for Q1 and raised our full year guidance, which now projects year-over-year EPS growth from operations. And even more important for the long-term prospects of our business, we saw a 25% increase in the size of the player community that engages with our games. That leads me to the second key takeaway from today's call. We are successfully transitioning our business to a digital year-round engagement model, where our community can play and invests in their experiences not just at launch but throughout the year. This is important because it allows us to improve the player experience by delivering fresh content on a frequent basis while at a time creating value for our shareholders through deeper and higher margin monetization of the audiences we serve. Lastly, our strategic investments in new franchises, platforms, and geographies continue to pay off, and along with growing engagement and better monetization sets the stage for growth ahead. We are well underway to expanding our franchise portfolio from five to over ten, with four new intellectual properties already in market. The two IPs we launched last year, Destiny and Hearthstone, combined now have over 50 million registered players and nearly $1 billion in non-GAAP revenues to life to date. We have two new free-to-play franchises if beta, Call of Duty Online and Heroes of the Storm. We also recently announced that this fall, the beloved Guitar Hero franchise will return, with product innovation that we couldn't be more excited about. And Overwatch is on the horizon with a beta this fall. We have an increasing focus on mobile and tablet, with Hearthstone's release on iOS and Android smartphones, and Guitar Hero Live's planned release to also include mobile and tablet at launch. Finally, we are positioned for growth in new geographies and in particular in the large and fast-growing China market. We now have six franchises in the market in China, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo, and Call of Duty Online, up from two at the beginning of last year. So now let's take a few questions. Amrita Ahuja - Sr. Vice President, Investor Relations: Operator?
