The Nippon Ichi Software Q1 2023 Quarterly Report details the financial performance and operational status of the company for the period spanning April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023. The report serves as a formal disclosure of the company’s fiscal health, confirming that while the organization continues to pursue growth through the development and sale of intellectual property, it faced significant earnings pressure during this quarter.

Financial results for the period indicate a mixed performance. The company reported net sales of 1,310,600 thousand yen, representing a 4.6% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. However, profitability declined sharply, with operating losses reaching 67,838 thousand yen, compared to an operating profit of 278,400 thousand yen in the prior year’s first quarter. Ordinary profit also fell significantly by 77.8% to 98,132 thousand yen, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company decreased by 82.5% to 51,592 thousand yen.

The company’s operations are divided into the Entertainment segment and the Student Dormitory/Other segment. The Entertainment segment, which focuses on game software development, localization, and digital distribution, generated 1,292,100 thousand yen in sales but saw an 86.0% decline in operating profit. During this quarter, the company released one domestic package title, "Shikabanegami," and continued development on upcoming titles. The Student Dormitory segment remained a minor contributor, reporting 18,499 thousand yen in sales with a slight operating loss.

The report concludes that the company maintains a stable financial position with total assets of 9,913,114 thousand yen and a capital adequacy ratio of 72.6%. The company continues to prioritize the strengthening of development and sales capabilities to achieve its medium-term goal of creating intellectual property capable of exceeding 200,000 unit sales domestically. An independent review by Tokai Audit Corporation confirmed that the financial statements fairly represent the company’s status in all material respects.
