Capcom Consolidated Financial Results: Year Ended March 31, 2018

Capcom achieved record-breaking financial performance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, characterized by net sales of 94,515 million yen and a net income of 10,937 million yen. This growth was primarily propelled by the global success of Monster Hunter: World, which emerged as the company’s best-selling title and solidified the Digital Contents segment as the primary engine for revenue. While the Amusement Equipments business experienced a decline, the robust performance of core digital titles and arcade operations ensured significant growth in operating cash flow, which reached 34,721 million yen.

The company’s strategic trajectory centers on a philosophy of selection and concentration, prioritizing the expansion of digital content and the global reach of its intellectual property. By diversifying its sales structure and leveraging core brands across multiple platforms, the organization aims to secure sustainable long-term growth. Furthermore, the establishment of a dedicated esports division and a commitment to enhancing human capital reflect a broader effort to modernize operations and capitalize on the expanding home video game market.

To support these strategic objectives, the company implemented a 2-for-1 stock split in April 2018 to improve liquidity and broaden its investor base. Governance structures were also adjusted to align with these goals, featuring a board restructuring that introduced new directors to oversee the company's evolving business model. Through these financial and organizational initiatives, the company maintains a focus on stable shareholder returns while positioning itself to navigate the competitive landscape of the global gaming industry.
