Aiming
This quarterly report outlines the financial performance and business status of Aiming Inc. for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. The company operates exclusively within the online game industry, focusing on the development and management of smartphone titles. During this period, the company maintained its growth trajectory by leveraging existing titles, most notably "Sword and Magic Logres: Ancient Goddesses," which continued to drive revenue through community-focused, real-time cooperative gameplay and extensive marketing efforts.
Financial results for the third quarter of 2015 showed significant growth compared to the same period in the previous year. Net sales reached 9,392 million yen, representing a 130.2% increase, while operating profit surged to 2,837 million yen, a 3,011.5% increase. Ordinary profit and quarterly net profit also saw substantial gains, reaching 2,805 million yen and 1,800 million yen, respectively. This performance was bolstered by the successful licensing and release of new titles, including "Himegami Emaki," and the expansion of existing games into international markets such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
The company’s financial position strengthened significantly, with total assets rising to 9,234 million yen, primarily due to an increase in cash and deposits. Equity also grew to 7,123 million yen, supported by public offerings and the exercise of stock options following the company's listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market in March 2015. While the company acknowledges that the rapid expansion of the smartphone game market is beginning to show signs of saturation, particularly among younger demographics, it remains committed to its strategy of developing and acquiring high-quality titles to maintain its market share and long-term growth.
