NACON reported consolidated sales of €167.9 million for the 2024/25 fiscal year, representing a marginal 0.1% increase over the previous year.
Back-catalogue sales grew by 31.2% to reach €58.6 million, offsetting a 3.8% decline in gaming revenue caused by a limited release schedule.
The company expects lower operating income for the 2024/25 period due to the strategic postponement of key games and hardware into the 2025/26 fiscal year.
Fourth-quarter sales declined by 7.1% year-over-year, largely due to the absence of major new releases compared to the prior year's success with titles like Robocop: Rogue City.
NACON forecasts significant growth for 2025/26, supported by a pipeline of over ten new games and an expanded accessories portfolio including products for the Nintendo Switch 2.
To support future growth and mitigate supply chain risks, the company is diversifying manufacturing to Vietnam and opening a new controller production site in France in late 2025.
NACON reports consolidated sales of €167.9 million for the 2024/25 financial year ending March 31, 2025, representing a marginal increase of 0.1% compared to the previous year. While the company faced a 3.8% decline in gaming revenue due to a limited release schedule in the fourth quarter, this was offset by a 4.1% increase in accessories sales and a robust performance in back-catalogue titles. Back-catalogue sales grew by 31.2% over the full year to reach €58.6 million, demonstrating the sustained value of the company’s existing intellectual property.
The financial results reflect a transitional period marked by the strategic postponement of several key games and hardware products into the 2025/26 fiscal year. Consequently, while annual sales remained stable, operating income is expected to be lower than the previous year, though it remains slightly positive. The fourth quarter specifically saw a 7.1% decline in sales, attributed to the lack of major new releases compared to the prior year’s success with high-performing titles like Robocop: Rogue City.
Looking ahead, the company forecasts sharp business growth for the 2025/26 financial year, driven by a significantly busier release schedule featuring over ten games across sports, racing, adventure, and simulation genres. The accessories segment is also expected to expand following the launch of new Xbox controllers, premium racing peripherals, and a dedicated range for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. To support this growth and mitigate supply chain risks, the company is diversifying its manufacturing, utilizing facilities in Vietnam and preparing a new controller production site in France scheduled to open in late 2025.
