Square Enix returned to profitability in FY2012 with a net income of ¥6,060 million on net sales of ¥127,896 million, recovering from a loss in the previous fiscal year.
The company is pivoting toward a 'supporting rock' business model that uses the stable, long-term profitability of MMO titles to fund aggressive expansion into social and mobile gaming.
Management is restructuring development into smaller, agile teams and investing in the proprietary Luminous Studio engine to maintain high-end differentiation as console markets decline.
Despite a global presence through subsidiaries like Crystal Dynamics and Eidos, the Japanese market remains the firm's primary revenue driver, accounting for over 80% of total sales.
The company maintains a strong financial position with ¥110.1 billion in cash and equivalents and a net asset ratio of 63.3%.
The Amusement and Publication segments experienced performance declines due to softening market conditions and the conclusion of major intellectual properties.
