MIXI, Inc. reported a 148.5% surge in profit attributable to owners to ¥17.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, alongside a 5.4% increase in net sales to ¥154.8 billion.
Profitability was driven by a ¥7 billion reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses and growth in the Sports and Investment segments, which offset a revenue contraction in the flagship Digital Entertainment segment.
The company projects a cautious outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, forecasting a 26.1% decline in profit despite maintaining stable net sales at ¥155 billion.
Basic earnings per share rose significantly from ¥99.71 to ¥255.43, and the company has committed to a ¥9.5 billion treasury share repurchase program and the cancellation of 2.4 million shares.
Net cash from operating activities nearly tripled to ¥27.5 billion, though the equity ratio declined marginally to 79.4% due to treasury share acquisitions and a ¥9 billion loan commitment for subsidiary Chariloto Co., Ltd.
Operations remain heavily concentrated in the Japanese market, which accounts for over 90% of total net sales.
Strategic expansion efforts included the acquisition of picon, Inc. and the establishment of MIXI Australia, though these were partially offset by a ¥1 billion loss from improper transactions at a subsidiary.

While the core Digital Entertainment segment experienced a minor revenue contraction as engagement for the flagship title Monster Strike stabilized following its tenth anniversary, overall performance was bolstered by the Sports and Investment segments.

The fiscal year was also marked by strategic organizational shifts, including the acquisition of picon, Inc. and the establishment of MIXI Australia, though these were tempered by a ¥1 billion loss resulting from improper transactions at a subsidiary.
