Nihon Falcom reported a 150.7% year-over-year increase in Q1 FY2026 net sales to 937 million yen, with operating income surging 670.4% to 685 million yen.
The licensing division drove the majority of revenue, generating 888 million yen—a 218.3% increase—largely due to the global multi-platform rollout of 'The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st'.
Domestic product sales declined by 47.6% to 49 million yen, reflecting a strategic shift toward development cycles for upcoming titles.
Management maintained the full-year net sales forecast at 2.6 billion yen, citing caution regarding the market reception of future projects like 'Kyoto Xanadu' and 'Trails in the Sky the 2nd'.
The company maintains a strong financial position with a 96.4% equity ratio, despite a slight decrease in total assets to 10.9 billion yen following a 608 million yen share buyback.
Revenue growth is increasingly tied to international markets and multi-platform availability across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
