    In EUR millions          FY2011        FY2010     Variation
    1st Quarter               39.5          33.0        +20%
    2nd Quarter               37.4          33.6        +11%
    3rd Quarter               40.6          34.7        +17%
    9-Month Total            117.4         101.3        +16%

The company's growth accelerated during the third quarter, confirming the strong performance already achieved during the first six months of the year. This growth was driven by sales in emerging countries and by the massive success of Gameloft games on smartphones and tablets around the world. Gameloft's third quarter sales on smartphones and tablets grew by 60% year on year and represented 34% of total sales.

The dynamism of the smartphone and tablet market, driven by the success of Apple and Android, should continue sustaining Gameloft's growth in the upcoming quarters. Additionally, the release of new gaming platforms, such as smart TVs and next-generation set-top boxes, should provide the company with strong growth opportunities in the coming years.

Therefore, Gameloft is expecting continued top-line and bottom-line growth in 2011. The significant success enjoyed by recently launched games such as Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, The Adventures of Tintin and Brothers In Arms 2: Global Front Free+ should allow solid sequential growth in the fourth quarter of 2011. In the long term, the company appears to be in an ideal position to benefit from the rapid growth of the digital distribution of video games on mobile phones, tablets, next-generation set-top boxes and smart TVs.

The Group's consolidated fourth quarter sales will be published on February 1, 2012, after the market closes.
