Akatsuki Summary of Consolidated Financial Statements for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2018

Akatsuki Inc.’s consolidated financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, demonstrate significant growth driven by the company’s mobile gaming operations. The primary objective of the report is to provide a transparent account of the company’s financial performance and operational status during this period. The company achieved net sales of 15,981 million yen, representing a 109.1% increase year-on-year, while operating income rose by 150.3% to 7,906 million yen. Profit attributable to owners of the parent reached 5,660 million yen, a 163.1% increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year.

The company’s performance was bolstered by the success of existing titles, most notably the global reach of "Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle," alongside the strategic launch of new titles such as "August Cinderella Nine" and "The Idolmaster: SideM Live on St@ge!" The financial position as of December 31, 2017, reflects a robust balance sheet with total assets of 25,933 million yen and a shareholders' equity ratio of 62.8%. The increase in net assets is largely attributed to the growth in retained earnings resulting from strong quarterly profitability.

Akatsuki maintains a policy of not providing full-year earnings forecasts due to the inherent volatility of the mobile gaming sector and the company’s ongoing transition into an investment phase. Future strategic initiatives include expanding into the "Live Experience" business and leveraging gaming expertise to enter tertiary industries such as medical, education, and human resources. The company continues to prioritize investment in new technologies, including virtual and augmented reality, to foster long-term growth as a comprehensive entertainment entity.
