Aiming: Announcement Regarding Earnings Information Following Listing on Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers

Aiming Inc. successfully transitioned to a profitable enterprise during the fiscal year ending December 2014, achieving sales exceeding 6.5 billion yen. This financial turnaround, which saw earnings per share shift from a net loss of 7.65 yen to a net profit of 19.09 yen, was primarily fueled by the strong performance of the mobile title Logres of Swords and Sorcery. This single game accounted for 58.1% of total sales, highlighting both the company’s capacity for high-impact development and its vulnerability to title-specific market fluctuations.

Following its March 2015 listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market, the company secured approximately 2.2 billion yen through a public offering and an additional 772.8 million yen via a third-party allotment. These capital injections are earmarked for the development of new massively multiplayer online games and the expansion of marketing initiatives. The company’s strategic focus remains centered on the item-based monetization model, with an emphasis on scaling international operations and diversifying revenue streams through collaborative development and operational outsourcing.

Management maintains a cautious outlook regarding the competitive mobile gaming landscape and the inherent risks associated with intellectual property management, regulatory compliance, and talent acquisition. By prioritizing financial stability and operational diversification, the company aims to mitigate its reliance on individual hit titles. This strategic pivot toward a more robust, collaborative business model is intended to ensure long-term sustainability within the rapidly evolving Japanese and global online gaming sectors.
