Akatsuki Inc. reported a 49.4% increase in ordinary profit to ¥4,233 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, despite a 1.3% decline in net sales to ¥23,652 million.
Operating ordinary profit grew by 46.3% to ¥3,915 million, driven by strong performance in the Comics segment and the 'Slash Gift' online lottery service within the IP Solutions business.
Net income attributable to owners of the parent rose 27.8% to ¥1,646 million, bolstered by gains from share sales related to the IPOs of investee companies.
The Games segment experienced a decline in revenue during FY2025, failing to offset the overall sales decrease despite the launch of a new title.
The company recorded an extraordinary loss of ¥593 million due to a conservative valuation of investment securities held by the group.
Non-consolidated financial statements included a ¥5,776 million provision for doubtful accounts and a ¥2,454 million loss on valuation of shares in affiliated companies, though these had a minimal impact on consolidated results.
Profitability was partially constrained by a conservative write-down of deferred tax assets, which reduced the final net income attributable to owners.
