Activision har i løbet af de seneste år kunne præsentere ganske rosenrøde finansrapporter takket være stærke salg af Call of Duty-spil, Blizzards diverse projekter, en solid mobil tilstedeværelse via spil King og en konservativ men effektiv portefolio af mindre projekter. Alligevel sidder firmaet fortsat i stor gæld. Sidste år lå den på hele $5.9 milliarder, og i år er den skrumpet til $4.4 milliarder. Alligevel mener Activision i deres seneste rapport at gælden kan have en negativ effekt på forrentingen.
PlayStation Lifestyle har skåret den relevante del af rapporten ud, hvor de udtaler sig om deres gæld:
"As of December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $4.4 billion of long-term debt outstanding. Our debt burden could have important consequences, including: increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of any cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund our operations, growth strategy, working capital, capital expenditures, future business opportunities, and other general corporate purposes; exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates with respect to any borrowings that are at floating rates of interest; restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions; and placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors who are less highly leveraged."
