Ubisoft® reports estimated sales
                             for third-quarter 2011-12

      Estimated sales of around €650 million, outstripping targets

      Release of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier™ postponed to the
       first quarter of fiscal 2012-13

      Revision of targets for full-year 2011-12


Paris, January 10, 2012 – Today, Ubisoft reported its estimated sales for the third
quarter of fiscal 2011-12 and revised its full-year targets.

Based on the preliminary data that is currently available, third-quarter sales for fiscal
2011-12 are estimated to clock in at around €650 million, up approximately 8% on the
€600 million recorded for the third quarter of fiscal 2010-11. Estimated sales for third-
quarter fiscal 2011-12 significantly exceeds the guidance of between €580 million and
€620 million issued when Ubisoft reported its results for the first half of fiscal 2011-12.

In addition, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier™ will now be released in the first
quarter of fiscal 2012-13 instead of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011-12. These extra few
months will allow Ubisoft’s creative teams more time to refine the experience and deliver a
game that fully achieves the level of excellence that defines the Ghost Recon franchise.

Ubisoft’s solid third-quarter performance has led it to revise upward its full-year targets,
with sales now expected to amount to between €1,050 million and €1,080 million
(compared with the previously announced guidance of between €1,040 million and
€1,080 million), and current operating income before stock-based compensation forecast
to come in at between €45 million and €65 million, versus the previous estimate of
between €40 million and €60 million.

Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer, said: "In continuation of the robust trends recorded
for the first half of the fiscal year, Ubisoft reported record-high sales for the Christmas
period, exceeding expectations. Against an extremely competitive backdrop, we were able
to reach an ever-wider audience thanks to the quality of our games and our capacity to
create brands for both hardcore and casual players. Assassin's Creed Revelations posted a
solid performance, in line with our forecasts, and Just Dance generated outstanding sales.
The quarter also saw an ongoing increase in our online sales. Ubisoft is therefore
continuing to progress towards improving its financial performance and returning to
positive cash flow generation in full-year 2012-13."

Ubisoft will publish its definitive sales figure for the third quarter of fiscal 2011-12 on
February 15, 2012 and the Company will hold a conference call on that same date.
