Summary

COLOPL, Inc. reported its consolidated financial results for the nine-month period ending June 30, 2025, reflecting a transition toward profitability at the operating level despite continued bottom-line losses. The company generated net sales of 18,998 million yen, a 3.8% increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Operating profit reached 609 million yen, marking a recovery from the 695 million yen operating loss recorded in the prior year. However, the company reported a loss attributable to owners of the parent of 601 million yen, an increase from the 435 million yen loss in the previous year, largely due to valuation losses on investment securities.

The company operates through two primary segments: Entertainment and Investment and Development. The Entertainment Business, which focuses on smartphone game development and operations, recorded net sales of 16,856 million yen and an operating loss of 825 million yen. While titles such as Dragon Quest Walk continued to contribute positively, overall segment performance was impacted by a decline in sales from older titles and increased advertising expenditures associated with the launch of new games like Isekai∞Isekai and Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter. Conversely, the Investment and Development Business saw significant growth, with net sales rising to 2,142 million yen and operating profit reaching 1,432 million yen, primarily driven by the divestment of shares in Timee, Inc.

The financial position remains stable, with total assets of 82,014 million yen and a strong equity ratio of 90.0%. Due to the inherent volatility of the current business environment, the company has opted not to disclose specific earnings forecasts for the remainder of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. The results were prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP, incorporating specific accounting treatments for quarterly reporting and updated standards regarding current income taxes.
