Aiming FY2024 Financial Results

Aiming’s financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, reflect a period of ongoing operational challenges within the competitive Japanese smartphone online game market. The company reported a consolidated net sales figure of 17,086 million yen, representing a 6.1% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year. Despite the decline in revenue, the company successfully narrowed its losses, reporting an operating loss of 552 million yen—a significant improvement over the 1,309 million yen loss recorded in 2023. Similarly, the net loss attributable to owners of the parent company was reduced to 341 million yen, down from 2,227 million yen in the prior year.

The company’s performance was driven by its core online game business, which continues to face industry-wide headwinds, including rising development costs and longer production cycles. Key revenue contributors included the ongoing operation of titles such as Dragon Quest Tact and The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden. During the 2024 fiscal year, the company also expanded its portfolio with the global release of 2.5 Dimensional Seduction: Angels' Stage and Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue Saga. Management continues to prioritize IP acquisition and collaborative business models to maintain market share against increasingly high-quality domestic and international competition.

Financially, the company strengthened its balance sheet through a third-party allotment of shares, which contributed to an increase in capital and capital surplus. As of the end of 2024, total assets stood at 8,154 million yen, with a capital adequacy ratio of 71.0%. Due to the inherent volatility of the smartphone gaming sector, the company does not provide full-year earnings forecasts, opting instead to disclose performance outlooks on a quarterly basis to ensure accuracy and transparency.
