Consolidated Financial Results: Nine-Month Period Ended December 31, 2025

Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. reported its consolidated financial results for the nine-month period ending December 31, 2025, demonstrating a strategic shift toward improved operational profitability despite a contraction in top-line revenue. The company recorded net sales of ¥215,455 million, representing a 13.3% decline compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Conversely, operating income rose significantly by 39.0% to ¥46,387 million, and ordinary income increased by 40.8% to ¥53,169 million, bolstered by foreign exchange gains and improved segment efficiencies. Profit attributable to owners of the parent reached ¥25,607 million, a 3.6% increase, even after accounting for ¥11,950 million in reorganization costs.

The company operates across four primary segments: Digital Entertainment, Amusement, Publication, and Merchandising. The Digital Entertainment segment, the largest contributor, saw net sales decline by 23.7% due to lower new title releases and the absence of major expansion launches compared to the prior year; however, operating income for this segment grew by 28.3% due to disciplined cost management and diversified payment methods. The Merchandising segment emerged as a high-growth area, with operating income nearly doubling, rising 98.9% to ¥9,889 million, driven by robust royalty income from key intellectual properties. The Amusement segment maintained stability with a 4.7% increase in operating income, while the Publication segment experienced a slight contraction.

The financial position remains strong, with total assets reaching ¥423,370 million and a stable equity ratio of 80.7%. The company conducted a three-for-one stock split effective October 1, 2025, which has been factored into all per-share calculations. Management has revised its full-year consolidated forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, projecting net sales of ¥280,000 million and operating income of ¥49,000 million. These results reflect a broader corporate effort to optimize profitability and streamline operations across its diverse entertainment portfolio.
