Overview of the Ubisoft group s situation tion for the 2007-200 2008 fiscal year Key figures The selected financial information below, relating to the fiscal years ending March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, is taken from the consolidated financial statements and presented pursuant to IFRS. In thousands of euros 03.31.08 03.31.07 Sales 928,307 680,348 Operating profit (loss) 131,520 34,579 Net financial income 12,426 18,047 Share of profit of associates 28 3,149 Income tax (48,957) (15,217) Gain (loss) on the disposal of discontinued operations 14,827 - Group result 109,844 40,558 Equity 634,151 521,819 Production-related investments 186,703 161,196 Headcount 4,323 3,934 Increase in turnover At current exchange rates, revenue was up 36.4% in fiscal year 2007/2008. At constant rates, revenue growth was 42.9%. 1) By activity The breakdown of revenue by business line is as follows: Breakdown of revenue by business line in % terms 2007/2008 2006/2007 Change in volume Development 85% 76% +53% Publishing 12% 18% -9% Distribution 3% 6% -32% TOTAL 100% 100% +36% The strong growth in the Development business was due to the success of the major titles developed by the Group s studios, in particular, Assassin s Creed, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Rayman Raving Rabbids. Meanwhile, the decline in the Publishing business was due to the delay of games such as Haze and Brothers in Arms. 4

2) By platform 2007-2008 2008 2006-2007 2007 CD-ROM PC 7% 16% Xbox 360 26% 28% Nintendo Wii 10% 14% PlayStation 3 20% 2% PlayStation 2 5% 16% DS 26% 11% PSP 4% 5% Game Boy Advance 1% 5% Xbox 0% 1% G-CUBE 0% 1% Miscellaneous 0% 0% TOTAL 100% 100% The Company accelerated its positioning in new consoles, which accounted for 86% of sales for the fiscal year: Nintendo DS and Sony PSP portable consoles: in total, these accounted for 30% of fiscal year sales. The growth was particularly significant for Nintendo DS, which benefited from the success of the Petz, Imagine and My Coach ranges. The Group gained a leadership position amongst independent publishers in this market in 2007. Microsoft Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3: these benefited from the success of Assassins Creed and the games published under the Tom Clancy brand, thanks in particular to their online gameplay. The Group is ranked third amongst independent publishers for these two consoles. Wii : the Group continued to see growth in value in this market with, in particular, the success of the Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 game. The Group is now ranked fourth amongst independent publishers. 3) Revenue by geographic destination Fiscal year 2007-2008 2008 % 2006-2007 2007 % (in millions of euros) France 91 9.8% 64 9.5% Germany 63 6.8% 49 7.2% UK 139 14.9% 97 14.3% Rest of Europe 178 19.2% 120 17.6% Total 471 50.8% 330 48.6% US/Canada 393 42.3% 306 45.0% Asia/Pacific 48 5.2% 33 4.8% Rest of world 16 1.7% 11 1.6% TOTAL 928 100% 680 100% The geographic breakdown of sales for fiscal year 2007/2008 reflected strong momentum in Europe, where the Group enjoyed sustained growth, particularly in Nintendo DS products, for which it is the market leader, but also the exceptional success of Assassin s Creed, which is ranked number 1 on the PlayStation 3 and number 3 on the Xbox 360. Accordingly, in 2007, the Group saw growth of 58% compared to market growth of only 25%. In North America, the Group s growth was impacted by the weakening dollar. The other regions continued to grow in importance, accounting for 7% of the Group s business. 5

Changes in the income statement The gross margin came in at 66.4% of revenue compared to 64.6% for fiscal year 2006/2007. This strong growth was expected. It reflects the growing portion of revenue posted on newgeneration consoles (86% of total revenue compared to 60%), as well as the impact of the major successes during the year that performed very well in terms of returns and discounts. Current operating profit before stock-options rose very sharply to 133.1 million compared to 38.3 million in 2006/2007. This increase came on the back of: A 177.4 million increase in the gross margin, linked to strong growth in sales (+ 248.0 million) and the improvement in the gross margin; A 31.6 million increase in development expenses, which accounted for 28.5% of revenue, an improvement of nearly 5 points. This significant improvement was down to better than expected performance on products developed internally, for which the bulk of expenses are fixed; and A 51.0 million increase in selling, marketing and administrative expenses, which also improved by one point to 23.6% of revenue. Net financial income was comprised of: 1.7 million in financial expenses, a clear improvement on the 7.3 million the previous year, 14.0 million in foreign exchange losses, a significant increase on 2006/2007, and A positive impact of 27.9 million related to the equity swap. The 14.8 million gain on the disposal of discontinued activities related to the disposal of Gameloft SA stock under the equity swap agreement signed with Calyon in July 2007. The Company recognized a tax charge of 50.0 million, which included research tax credits of 3.5 million and a 2.1 million expense related to a tax audit previously recognized in provisions. Earnings amounted to 110 million, representing 2.39 per share. Change in the working capital requirement and debt levels The working capital requirement amounted to ( 20) million compared to 29 million the previous year. Factoring in translation adjustments and the reclassification of Gameloft stock ( 25 million), this represented a 58 million improvement. This year, trade payables include 80 million for future commitments under external development and license agreements compared to 38 million the previous year. The strong improvement in debt and tax receivables should be noted, the positive impact of which was offset by the increase in inventory (+ 18 million), trade receivables (+ 7 million) and financial assets line item due to the measurement of the equity swap on Ubi stock. Net financial surplus is 149 million, an improvement of 94 million, on the back of a series of factors: Cash flow from operating activities of 59 million; A 58 million improvement in the working capital requirement; Capital increases of 16 million resulting from stock option conversions and the exercise of OBSARs (bonds with redeemable share warrants); Capital expenditure of 48 million on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including 33 million for the Tom Clancy license ( 13 million having been paid in previous years); The acquisitions of Sun Flowers and Digital Kids for a total of 18 million; The disposal of Gameloft stock for 25 million; 3 million in translation adjustments. 6

Capital expenditure policy Ubisoft continued its sustained capital expenditure policy, which should enable the Company to gain traction in new platforms, create new releases in various genres, and more generally increase its market share. Accordingly, in 2007/2008, internal production costs rose 16% from 161 million to 187 million. Production related capital expenditure 2007/2008 2006/2007 2005/2006 187 million 161 million 131 million % of total pre-tax revenue 20.11% 23.69% 23.85% Capital expenditure to average production headcount 55,983 53,531 52,159 Workforce at March 31, 2008 Ubisoft s key figures as of March 31, 2008 4,323 employees (average headcount for the fiscal year: 4,118), namely close to 10% up on March 31, 2007, Ubisoft has employees in 24 countries, 81% on the production side and 19% on the business side, Average age: 31.5 years, Average service with the company: 3.8 years. Breakdown of headcount by activity 1 Activity As of 03.31.08 As of 03.31.07 As of 03.31.06 Production 3,481 3,194 2,729 Business 842 740 712 Total 4,323 3,934 3,441 1 Headcount only includes permanent employees. Interns and temporary employees (intermittent workers and temporary staff) are thus excluded from the total. 7

Equity investments made during the fiscal year Equity swap agreement for Gameloft stock On July 12, 2007, Ubisoft Entertainment SA entered into two agreements with Calyon, the investment bank. The first agreement dealt with the disposal of all 13,367,923 Gameloft shares held by Ubisoft Entertainment SA (18.73% of the capital of Gameloft) for 6.08 each. The second related to Ubisoft Entertainment SA s ability to continue participating in upward or downward movements in the price of Gameloft stock vis-à-vis the 6.08 per share price set in the first agreement, until such time as Calyon disposes of the stock to a third party. Acquisition of new companies: - April 2007: purchase of the software publisher Sunflowers GmbH. Through this acquisition, Ubisoft Entertainment SA acquired a 30% interest in Related Designs Software GmbH. - In January 2008, acquisition of 100% of the Japanese studio Digital Kids Co. Ltd. Ubisoft Entertainment SA already distributed games developed by Digital Kids for the DS.

Equity investments: August 2007: acquisition of a 25% interest in the German company Avator Entertainment GmbH, a studio created to develop the Anno game on line. March 2008: disposal of the 25% interest in the German company Avator Entertainment GmbH.

The studio currently employs 120 developers and testers. They will initially be working on porting games to handheld consoles and on strengthening Ubisoft s testing staff. On April 29, 2008, Ubisoft opened its first studio in the Ukraine, in the city of Kiev. The Group did not exercise its option of renewing the syndicated loan for an additional year: a new agreement was signed in May 2008 for a 180 million five-year loan. As of May 12, 2008, the 1,243,121 shares under the equity swap agreement were disposed of for an average of 61.68. 8
