Announcement of Consolidated Results: Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026

Akatsuki Inc. achieved significant financial growth during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, driven by strategic expansion and operational optimization within its Games and Comics business segment. The company reported consolidated net sales of 23,856 million yen, representing a 9.3 percent increase over the previous fiscal year. Profitability metrics showed even more substantial gains, with operating profit rising 90.1 percent to 7,444 million yen and profit attributable to owners of the parent surging 243.2 percent to 5,652 million yen, resulting in earnings per share of 391.97 yen.

This performance was primarily fueled by the successful launch of a new game title and the integration of two M&A transactions completed during the second quarter. Beyond top-line revenue growth, the company improved its bottom line through a rigorous review of its business portfolio and enhanced operational efficiencies for existing titles. Furthermore, a reduction in research and development expenses, reflecting a cyclical slowdown in new title development, contributed to the expansion of operating margins.

The substantial increase in net profit was further bolstered by non-operating factors, specifically a gain on the sale of investment securities following the public listing of a portfolio company. These results underscore a transition toward higher profitability through a combination of inorganic growth, disciplined cost management, and strategic divestment of investment assets. The fiscal year concludes with the company demonstrating a strengthened financial position compared to the prior period, characterized by robust growth in both core operations and extraordinary income streams.
