Today Ubisoft reported sales for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007. Sales for the first quarter of 2007-08 came to 134 million ($180.66 U.S.), up 90.5%, or 94.5% at constant exchange rates, compared with the 70 million ($94.37 U.S.) recorded for the same period of 2006-07.
In light of its first-quarter performance, which exceeded forecasts, as well as the positive feedback for its games at this year's E3, Ubisoft has raised its performance targets for full-year 2007-08.
Ubisoft's 2007-08 sales target is now approximately 825 million ($1,112.27 U.S.).
