Over the five-year period, TAKE‐TWO’s revenue shows an upward trend, increasing from approximately $3,373 million in 2021 to $5,634 million in 2025. The early years (2021–2022) indicate moderate revenue growth of about 4%, with gross profit progressing from $1,838 million to $1,969 million. However, revenue growth accelerated significantly in 2023, jumping nearly 53% from 2022. Despite this spike in top-line figures, gross profit did not keep pace proportionally, suggesting rising costs or margin pressures. The fluctuations in gross profit across the years hint at challenges in cost management as revenue expanded. A stark contrast appears when examining operating and net income. In 2021 and 2022, both operating income and net income were positive, albeit with noticeable declines of over 20% in 2022 compared to the prior year. The situation deteriorated dramatically starting in 2023, where both operating income (–$1,165 million) and net income (–$1,125 million) turned negative despite higher revenue. Subsequent years, 2024 and 2025, witnessed further substantial declines—operating losses reached –$3,591 million in 2024 and further deepened to –$4,391 million in 2025, with net income following a similar downward pattern. These large year-over-year swings in profitability suggest that escalating expenses, potential one-time costs, or strategic investments could be undermining earnings. Overall, while revenue growth appears robust, the widening gap between revenue and profitability raises concerns about the company’s operational efficiency and long-term financial sustainability within a competitive and capital-intensive gaming industry.
