Summary

MIXI’s consolidated financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2024, demonstrate significant growth in profitability compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Net sales reached ¥68,820 million, representing a 7.6% increase. Operating income saw a substantial rise of 129.5% to ¥8,748 million, while ordinary income grew by 139.7% to ¥9,016 million. Profit attributable to owners of the parent increased by 132.3% to ¥5,227 million. These results reflect a recovery in operational efficiency, supported by a reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses from ¥39,466 million to ¥36,818 million.

The company operates across four primary segments: Digital Entertainment, Sports, Lifestyle, and Investment. The Digital Entertainment business, anchored by the mobile game Monster Strike, remains a core revenue driver, contributing ¥40,139 million in net sales. The Sports segment showed notable improvement, shifting from a segment loss of ¥876 million in the prior year to a profit of ¥718 million. Conversely, the Lifestyle segment continued to record a segment loss of ¥513 million. The Investment segment significantly bolstered overall performance, contributing ¥2,407 million in segment profit.

Financial stability remains strong, with total assets reported at ¥213,259 million and an equity ratio of 81.1% as of September 30, 2024. During this period, the company maintained its dividend policy, with a forecast of ¥110 per share for the full fiscal year. However, the results include a negative impact from improper transactions identified at the consolidated subsidiary Chariloto Co., Ltd. An internal investigation revealed unauthorized activities totaling ¥1,026 million, which resulted in a net negative impact of ¥552 million on the profit attributable to owners of the parent for the current interim period. The company continues to operate under Japanese GAAP, and the provided forecasts for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, remain unchanged.
