Mixi, Inc. reported consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, covering the period from April 1 to June 30, 2022. The data reveals a period of revenue growth alongside declining profitability. Net sales rose 8.7% year-over-year to ¥31,022 million, primarily driven by the Digital Entertainment segment and its flagship title, Monster Strike. However, operating income fell 7.6% to ¥5,557 million, and profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased 13.1% to ¥3,524 million. This contraction in earnings is attributed to increased cost of sales and higher selling, general, and administrative expenses. The company’s operations are divided into four reportable segments: Digital Entertainment, Sports, Lifestyle, and the newly established Investment Business. Digital Entertainment remains the primary profit driver, contributing ¥10,750 million in segment profit. In contrast, the Sports and Lifestyle segments reported losses of ¥653 million and ¥173 million, respectively. The Investment Business, elevated to a main line of business this quarter, contributed ¥179 million in profit. This structural change led to a reclassification of assets, with ¥14,400 million in investment securities moved to current assets as operational investment securities. Geographically focused on the Japanese market, the company maintains a strong financial position with total assets of ¥215,217 million and an equity ratio of 84.9%. Despite the quarterly decline in profit, Mixi maintained its full-year forecast, projecting net sales of ¥120,000 million and a significant 51.3% year-over-year drop in annual profit to ¥5,000 million. The company also confirmed a planned annual dividend of ¥110.00 per share and noted the issuance of new stock options to directors in July 2022.

Mixi, Inc. reported consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, covering the period from April 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The data reveals a year-on-year decline across primary financial metrics. Net sales reached ¥28,366 million, a 3.4% decrease from the previous year, while operating income fell 19.4% to ¥6,011 million. Profit attributable to owners of the parent dropped 17.7% to ¥4,054 million. Despite these declines, the company maintains a strong financial position with an equity ratio of 85.6% and total assets valued at ¥217,762 million. The Digital Entertainment Business remains the primary revenue driver, contributing ¥22,596 million in sales, largely through the flagship title Monster Strike. However, segment profit for this division decreased from ¥12,482 million to ¥10,586 million year-on-year. The Sports Business saw a significant revenue increase to ¥4,047 million but continued to operate at a loss of ¥681 million. The Lifestyle Business showed improvement, turning a profit of ¥159 million compared to a loss in the prior year. A significant accounting change occurred during this period with the adoption of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition. This impacted how revenue is recognized for Monster Strike, shifting from the point of in-game currency consumption to a recognition model based on the estimated period of character use. While this change led to a ¥667 million increase in beginning retained earnings, its impact on the current quarter's operating income was minimal. Looking ahead, the full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, remains unchanged, with net sales projected between ¥115,000 million and ¥120,000 million. This forecast anticipates a substantial year-on-year decrease in profitability, with operating income expected to fall between 34.6% and 47.7%. The company also confirmed a planned annual dividend of ¥110 per share.
This financial report details the consolidated results for mixi, Inc. during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, covering the period from April 1, 2020, to June 30, 2020. The data reveals a period of significant year-over-year growth, with net sales increasing 41.3% to ¥29,360 million. Profitability saw even more dramatic gains; operating income rose 370% to ¥7,478 million, while profit attributable to owners of the parent climbed 340.4% to ¥4,891 million. These results were achieved despite a global economic environment impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company’s performance is driven primarily by its Digital Entertainment Business, which contributed ¥25,997 million in net sales and ¥12,482 million in segment profit. During this period, the company restructured its reporting segments to better reflect its evolving portfolio, splitting its previous structure into Digital Entertainment, Sports, and Lifestyle businesses. While the Digital Entertainment segment remained the primary profit engine, the Sports Business and Lifestyle Business segments reported operating losses of ¥1,020 million and ¥306 million, respectively, as the company continued to invest in these areas. The financial position remains robust, with total assets valued at ¥203,491 million and an equity ratio of 88.7%. Cash and deposits increased to ¥132,118 million, providing significant liquidity. Despite the strong first-quarter performance, the full-year forecast was revised to project a decline in annual net sales and profit compared to the previous fiscal year, with net sales estimated at ¥105,000 million. Subsequent to the quarter's end, the company announced the establishment of a ¥3,000 million investment fund focused on digital transformation in the live entertainment field, signaling a continued strategic shift toward technology-driven entertainment synergies.
MIXI, Inc. reported its consolidated financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, covering the period from April 1, 2022, to September 30, 2022. The data reflects a period of significant revenue growth alongside a sharp decline in net profit due to extraordinary losses. Net sales rose 21.1% year-over-year to ¥65,734 million, and operating income increased 23.1% to ¥11,249 million. However, profit attributable to owners of the parent fell 68.2% to ¥1,960 million. This bottom-line decrease was primarily driven by ¥6,474 million in extraordinary losses, including a ¥4,468 million loss related to the withdrawal from certain business developments and an ¥875 million loss on the sale of shares in PIST6, Inc. The company’s operations are divided into four reportable segments: Digital Entertainment, Sports, Lifestyle, and a newly established Investment Business segment. Digital Entertainment remains the primary driver of performance, contributing ¥47,608 million in net sales, largely fueled by the mobile game Monster Strike. The Sports and Lifestyle segments reported net sales of ¥12,995 million and ¥3,508 million, respectively, though both recorded segment losses. The Investment Business, now classified as a main line of business, contributed ¥1,551 million in sales. During this period, MIXI also completed the 100% acquisition of CONNECTIT Inc., a New Year's card online service, for ¥700 million to consolidate its market position in that niche. Geographically focused on the Japanese market, the company maintains a strong financial position with total assets of ¥221,903 million and an equity ratio of 82.0%. Despite the first-half revenue growth, MIXI revised its full-year forecast downward, projecting a 51.3% decline in annual profit attributable to owners. The company plans to maintain a total annual dividend of ¥110.00 per share. These results were prepared under Japanese GAAP and have not undergone a full statutory audit.
This financial report details the consolidated results for mixi, Inc. during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, covering the period from April 1, 2019, to June 30, 2019. The data reveals a significant year-over-year downturn across all primary financial metrics. Net sales fell by 39.9% to ¥20,780 million, while operating income saw a sharp decline of 85.2%, dropping to ¥1,637 million. Profit attributable to owners of the parent followed a similar trajectory, decreasing 84.4% to ¥1,134 million. The downturn is primarily driven by the Entertainment Business segment, which saw sales contract from ¥32,709 million in the previous year's first quarter to ¥19,969 million. The Lifestyle Business also experienced a decline in revenue and recorded a segment loss of ¥272 million. Despite these operational challenges, the company maintains a robust financial position with total assets of ¥186,409 million and a high equity ratio of 93.8%. Cash and deposits remain substantial at ¥138,393 million, though this represents a decrease from the previous fiscal year-end. A key strategic development during this period was the 100% acquisition of SFIDANTE Inc. for ¥1,599 million. This move aims to integrate SFIDANTE’s smartphone-photo print services with mixi’s "FamilyAlbum" app to enhance family-oriented communication offerings. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of approximately ¥1,504 million in provisional goodwill. Looking ahead, the full-year forecast remains cautious, projecting net sales of ¥100,000 million and a profit of ¥3,000 million, representing anticipated annual declines of 30.6% and 88.7%, respectively. To align leadership interests with shareholder value during this transition, the company also authorized the granting of over 400,000 stock options to directors and corporate officers in July 2019.
