Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2015
The fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, marked a transformative period of hyper-growth and financial recovery for mixi, Inc., primarily driven by the explosive success of the mobile title Monster Strike. Net sales surged by 828.9% to ¥112.9 billion, facilitating a dramatic turnaround from a net loss in the previous year to a net income of ¥32.9 billion. This performance significantly bolstered the balance sheet, with total assets expanding from ¥26.4 billion to ¥104.1 billion and cash reserves increasing nearly fourfold to ¥65.4 billion. The Entertainment Business segment became the primary engine of this expansion, with sales rising from ¥3.3 billion to over ¥102.2 billion. To sustain this momentum, the company aggressively scaled its operational investments, increasing advertising expenditures nearly ninefold to ¥9.7 billion and settlement fees to ¥32.7 billion. This liquidity also funded a strategic diversification of the Media Platform Business through high-profile acquisitions, including the ¥11.5 billion purchase of ticket marketplace Hunza, Inc. and the acquisition of fashion e-commerce platform MUSE & Co., Ltd. These moves, alongside entries into the matchmaking and marriage support sectors, resulted in a substantial increase in goodwill to ¥14.1 billion. Geographically, the company remains heavily concentrated in the Japanese market, which accounts for over 90% of sales and assets. Following a five-for-one stock split and a significant rise in net assets per share, the company has shifted toward a more robust shareholder return policy, including increased dividend payouts. Projections for fiscal year 2016 anticipate continued growth, with net sales expected to reach ¥185 billion as the company leverages its strengthened capital structure and diversified service portfolio.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2024
MIXI, Inc. maintained stable net sales of ¥146.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, despite a 22.7% decline in operating income to ¥19.1 billion. While the Digital Entertainment segment, anchored by the enduring performance of Monster Strike, remains the primary revenue driver, its profitability experienced a year-over-year contraction. Conversely, net income attributable to owners of the parent grew by 37.2% to ¥7.08 billion, a result of reduced non-operating and extraordinary losses relative to the prior year. This financial trajectory is expected to accelerate, with forecasts projecting a 69.4% surge in net income to ¥12.0 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2025. The fiscal period was characterized by strategic capital management and the navigation of impairment challenges. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to ¥105.7 billion, influenced by ¥7.5 billion in treasury share purchases and significant income tax payments. Financial results were further impacted by a ¥2.677 million valuation loss on convertible bonds and impairment losses within the Sports Business and equity-method associates like CALL DOCTOR Co., Ltd. These adjustments reflect a rigorous reassessment of business plans and asset valuations across the Lifestyle and Sports segments. To enhance shareholder value and capital efficiency, the company executed the cancellation of 4.5 million treasury shares and initiated a subsequent repurchase program valued at up to ¥7.5 billion. Basic earnings per share rose to ¥99.71, supporting a consistent annual dividend of ¥110 per share. Despite the amortization of ¥1,338 million in goodwill, the organization maintains a robust balance sheet and a clear focus on stabilizing its core entertainment offerings while optimizing its diversified portfolio for long-term growth.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2023
MIXI, Inc. achieved significant top-line growth during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, with net sales rising 20.4% to ¥146,867 million and operating income increasing 39.4% to ¥24,820 million. This performance was primarily driven by the Digital Entertainment segment and the continued strength of its flagship title, Monster Strike. Despite these gains, profit attributable to owners of the parent fell by 49.7% to ¥5,161 million. This decline resulted from substantial non-operating and extraordinary expenses, including a ¥6,604 million loss on equity method investments, a ¥4,818 million impairment loss related to bitbank, inc., and a ¥4,408 million loss stemming from business withdrawals. The fiscal year was characterized by strategic structural shifts, most notably the reclassification of the Investment Business into a primary reportable segment. This change moved operational investment securities to current assets and integrated related gains and losses into net sales and cost of sales. While income before taxes decreased, net cash from operating activities saw a dramatic increase from ¥2,647 million to ¥15,751 million. The company maintained a robust liquidity position, ending the period with ¥118,703 million in cash and cash equivalents, supported by reduced spending on investing and financing activities compared to the previous year. Looking forward, projections for fiscal year 2024 suggest a decline in net sales and operating income, though net profit is expected to recover by 45.3% as the impact of one-time losses diminishes. To enhance capital efficiency and shareholder value, a stable dividend of ¥55 per share was maintained, supplemented by a post-fiscal year authorization of a share repurchase program valued at up to ¥7,500 million. These actions reflect a transition toward a more diversified business model, balancing core digital entertainment assets with strategic investments and portfolio optimization.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2021
Mixi, Inc. achieved significant financial growth during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, characterized by a 6.4% increase in net sales to ¥119.3 billion and a substantial 45.8% rise in profit attributable to owners, totaling ¥15.6 billion. This performance was underpinned by a surge in net cash from operating activities, which nearly doubled to ¥34.7 billion. The company’s liquidity remains exceptionally strong, concluding the period with ¥149.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents. This robust capital position supported a stable dividend of ¥110 per share and the authorization of a ¥10 billion share repurchase program intended to enhance capital efficiency. Strategic realignments and acquisitions defined the corporate landscape during this period. The group restructured its operations into three core segments: Digital Entertainment, Sports, and Lifestyle. Following the finalized accounting for acquisitions such as Chiba Jets Funabashi and Net Dreamers, the company reallocated significant costs toward customer-related intangible assets. Expansion into the sports and hospitality sectors continued post-period with the acquisition of a 20.02% stake in HUB CO., LTD. for approximately ¥1 billion, signaling a commitment to diversifying the portfolio beyond traditional digital gaming. Despite the strong historical performance, the outlook for the 2022 fiscal year remains conservative. Projections indicate a potential contraction in profitability, with operating income and net profit forecasted to decline by as much as 47.7% and 45.8%, respectively. This cautious guidance suggests that while the company successfully navigated the previous year's market conditions and improved its cash flow through disciplined investing and operational growth, it anticipates significant headwinds or increased investment requirements that may impact short-term earnings.
