Capcom Consolidated Financial Results: Year Ended March 31, 2015

Capcom’s financial performance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, reflects a strategic pivot toward higher profitability despite a significant contraction in top-line revenue. Net sales fell by 37.1 percent to 64,277 million yen, primarily due to the absence of a major blockbuster title comparable to the previous year’s Monster Hunter 4 and operational delays within the Pachinko and Pachislo division. However, the company successfully leveraged cost-reduction measures and a surge in digital download sales to drive a 92.1 percent increase in net income, which reached 6,616 million yen. This shift resulted in a notable improvement in shareholder value, with net income per share rising to 117.67 yen from 61.11 yen in the prior period.

The company’s financial foundation remains robust, with total assets expanding to 100,773 million yen. This stability supports a long-term growth strategy centered on the "Single Content Multiple Usage" model, which seeks to maximize the value of intellectual property across various platforms and media. By prioritizing the expansion of digital and online distribution within Asian markets and optimizing internal development workflows, the organization aims to revitalize its mobile and amusement segments.

Looking forward, the company maintains a positive outlook, projecting a recovery in net sales to 76,000 million yen and net income to 7,700 million yen for the upcoming fiscal year. Management continues to focus on its "Character Content" business to enhance brand equity while evaluating a potential transition from Japanese GAAP to IFRS reporting standards. Through these initiatives, the company intends to balance aggressive content promotion with disciplined fiscal management to ensure sustained earnings growth.
