See it on page 1Akatsuki Inc. reported consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 (April 1 2024–March 31 2025). Net sales fell by 1.3 % to ¥23,652 million from ¥23,972 million in FY2023, reflecting a decline in the Games segment despite a new title launch. Operating ordinary profit rose by ¥1,239 million (46.3 %) to ¥3,915 million, driven largely by gains in the Comics and IP Solutions businesses; the former benefited from contracted services for an overseas manga platform, while the latter saw growth in its online lottery service “Slash Gift.” Ordinary profit attributable to parent shareholders increased by ¥1,399 million (49.4 %) to ¥4,233 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent grew by ¥358 million (27.8 %) to ¥1,646 million, aided by gains on share sales from IPOs of investee companies. A conservative write‑down of deferred tax assets reduced the profit attributable to owners, yet overall net income still improved.
An extraordinary loss of ¥593 million was recorded on the valuation of investment securities held by the group, reflecting a conservative assessment of recoverable value amid market uncertainty. On a non‑consolidated basis, the company recorded a ¥5,776 million provision for doubtful accounts and a ¥2,454 million loss on valuation of shares in affiliated companies; these items are largely confined to consolidated subsidiaries and have a minor impact on the consolidated results. The report covers Japan‑based operations for FY2025, with data derived from internal financial statements and market assessments.
