Net sales fell by 10% to ¥93,242 million, while cash and cash equivalents decreased by more than 50% to ¥31,021 million due to rising development costs and global inflation.
Net profit per share saw a significant contraction, falling from ¥182.67 in the previous period to ¥25.79.
To bolster investor confidence, the company increased its year-end dividend to ¥90.00 per share and established a new policy targeting a 4% Dividend on Equity and a payout ratio of at least 50%.
The company executed a ¥5,003 million share buyback and authorized an additional ¥5 billion repurchase program, alongside the cancellation of 16 million treasury shares to improve capital efficiency.
Strategic expansion efforts included the launch of new titles 'LET IT DIE: INFERNO' and 'Ragnarok: Twilight' and the elevation of Indonesia and Latin America to independent reporting categories.
Due to market volatility, GungHo has declined to provide formal financial forecasts for the 2026 fiscal year.
