COLOPL Quarterly Securities Report: The Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2022

COLOPL’s financial performance for the nine-month period ending June 30, 2022, reflects a transitional phase characterized by declining top-line revenue alongside improved bottom-line profitability. Net sales reached ¥23,079 million, representing a 15.8% year-over-year decrease, while operating profit fell to ¥2,948 million. These results were influenced by the adoption of new revenue recognition accounting standards, which provided a modest boost of ¥1,246 million to net sales and ¥385 million to operating profit. Despite the contraction in core segment performance, profit attributable to owners of the parent rose by 8.7% to ¥2,774 million, driving earnings per share up to ¥21.65.

The company’s fiscal health remains robust, underpinned by a conservative capital structure and a high equity ratio of 93.0%. Total assets are valued at ¥82,322 million, providing a stable foundation for ongoing operations. This financial resilience is supported by sustained user engagement across key mobile titles, most notably Dragon Quest Walk and Shironeko Project, which continue to serve as the primary pillars of the company’s portfolio.

Operating within the Japanese mobile gaming sector, the company maintains a consistent strategic focus without significant shifts in management priorities or contractual obligations. While the broader year-over-year decline in ordinary profit—down 40.6% to ¥4,061 million—highlights the challenges of maintaining growth in a competitive market, the company’s ability to increase net income suggests effective cost management and successful monetization strategies for its existing intellectual property. The current fiscal trajectory emphasizes stability and the optimization of established assets over aggressive expansion during this nine-month reporting window.
