Capcom Consolidated Financial Results for the 6 Months of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2018

Capcom’s consolidated financial results for the six-month period ending September 30, 2017, reflect a period of significant growth and operational recovery. Driven by a revitalized home video game market and successful intellectual property licensing, the company achieved net sales of 33,729 million yen, representing a 17.6% increase over the same period in the previous fiscal year. Profitability metrics showed substantial improvement, with operating income rising 191.5% to 5,001 million yen, ordinary income climbing 875.5% to 5,016 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent reaching 3,481 million yen, a 757.5% increase.

The Digital Contents segment served as the primary growth engine, generating 20,138 million yen in sales and 3,830 million yen in operating income. This performance was bolstered by the success of titles such as Monster Hunter XX Nintendo Switch Ver. and Ultra Street Fighter II, alongside steady contributions from online and mobile game operations. The Arcade Operations and Amusement Equipments segments also reported gains, with net sales increasing by 7.7% and 12.3%, respectively. These results were supported by cost-reduction initiatives, including the integration of the mobile contents division and a re-evaluation of general administrative expenses.

The company maintained a stable financial position, ending the second quarter with total assets of 114,472 million yen and a shareholders' equity ratio of 70.5%. Despite the positive interim results, management opted to maintain its original full-year earnings forecast, projecting net sales of 93,000 million yen and operating income of 14,500 million yen for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018. The report adheres to Japanese GAAP and utilizes standard consolidated accounting practices to present these financial outcomes.
