3rd Quarter Report: Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2026

This financial report details Capcom’s consolidated performance for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The findings indicate significant year-on-year growth in both revenue and profit across all business segments, driven primarily by the sustained performance of catalog titles and strong results in the amusement equipment division. Net sales reached 115.3 billion yen, a 30% increase over the previous year, while operating profit rose 75% to 54.3 billion yen. These results place the company on a favorable trajectory to meet its full-year targets of 190 billion yen in net sales and 730 billion yen in operating profit. The Digital Contents segment remains the primary driver of growth, with unit sales reaching a record 9-month high of 34.6 million units. Catalog titles accounted for 96.4% of these sales, underscoring the long-term value of core franchises such as Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter. Notably, Monster Hunter Wilds surpassed 11 million cumulative units, while Resident Evil 4 and Street Fighter 6 continued to show steady growth. Digital sales now represent 94.1% of total units, with PC platforms alone accounting for over 55% of the volume. Geographically, overseas markets dominate the business, representing nearly 90% of total unit sales. Beyond software, the Arcade Operations and Amusement Equipments segments reported double-digit growth. Arcade sales rose 12% following the opening of new stores and the expansion of specialty formats, while Amusement Equipments saw a 74% surge in net sales due to the strong performance of smart slot titles like Shin Onimusha 3. The company’s strategic outlook remains focused on leveraging its leading brands through upcoming releases such as Resident Evil Requiem and Monster Hunter Stories 3, alongside cross-media expansions including a new Devil May Cry anime and a live-action Street Fighter film.

Capcom 1Q FY2025 Financial Results

Capcom’s strategic roadmap for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 emphasizes a long-term transition into a global digital content powerhouse. The primary objective is to achieve 100 million units in annual game software sales by expanding brand penetration across 227 countries and regions. This goal is supported by a consistent financial performance marked by 12 consecutive years of operating profit growth and eight consecutive years of record-high profits. Central to this success is a "Single Content Multiple Usage" strategy, which leverages world-class intellectual property like *Resident Evil* and *Monster Hunter* across various media, including film, eSports, and location-based entertainment, to convert a potential global audience of 1.5 billion PC and console users into active fans. The company’s financial health is characterized by high-margin digital catalog sales, which account for over 70% of annual units, and a robust operating margin of 52.1% within its core Digital Contents business. To sustain a target of 10% annual operating profit growth, Capcom is aggressively investing in human capital and infrastructure. This includes increasing the development workforce to over 2,800 personnel, raising starting salaries for new graduates to 300,000 yen, and expanding R&D facilities. Technological innovation remains a cornerstone of this growth, driven by the proprietary RE ENGINE and the development of the next-generation REX Engine to ensure high-quality, multi-platform releases. Geographically, the strategy focuses on the "Global South"—including India, Brazil, and Southeast Asia—where digital distribution and PC platform expansion offer significant growth opportunities. Corporate governance has been further strengthened through a diverse board of directors, a performance-linked remuneration system tied to shareholder value, and a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050. With a market capitalization exceeding 2 trillion yen and a disciplined shareholder return policy, the focus remains on creating a sustainable, virtuous cycle of high-quality content creation and global market expansion.

Capcom Co., Ltd. reported significant growth in its consolidated financial results for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2025. Net sales reached 115,315 million yen, a 29.8% increase year-on-year, while operating profit surged 75.1% to 54,302 million yen. This performance was driven by a robust human resources investment strategy and a focus on digital sales expansion within the global market. The company maintained its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, projecting net sales of 190,000 million yen and an operating profit of 73,000 million yen. The Digital Contents business remained the primary earnings driver, with unit sales increasing to 34.64 million units across 238 countries and regions. Performance was bolstered by the release of titles like Street Fighter 6 and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess on new hardware, alongside strong catalog sales of the Resident Evil and Monster Hunter series. Notably, Monster Hunter Wilds surpassed 11 million cumulative units following its February 2025 release. The segment recorded net sales of 73,411 million yen, up 25.4% from the previous year. Other business segments also showed positive momentum. Arcade Operations benefited from new store formats and experiential facilities, while the Amusement Equipments business saw a 73.5% increase in net sales due to the success of smart pachislo machines like Shin Onimusha 3. Additionally, the company leveraged its intellectual property through eSports tournaments, a new Devil May Cry animated series on Netflix, and preparations for a live-action Street Fighter film. Despite a decrease in total assets to 290,869 million yen due to lower cash balances and receivables, net assets rose to 250,245 million yen, supported by strong profit attributable to owners of the parent.

Financial Results for the First Half of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2020

Koei Tecmo reported a 4.8% year-on-year decrease in sales to ¥16.56 billion and a 26.6% drop in operating profit for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2020. These declines were primarily driven by lower console sales and rising development costs associated with future projects. However, ordinary and net profits exceeded initial projections due to robust non-operating income and significant growth in the online and mobile segments. This success was largely fueled by IP licensing and the performance of smartphone titles, which helped offset the impact of increased fixed costs related to the completion of the Minato-Mirai office and expanded development teams. The current fiscal year serves as a strategic preparation period for the company’s 2020 mid-term goals. Despite the early dip in operating profit, the full-year forecast remains unchanged at ¥43 billion in sales, representing a 10.3% year-on-year increase. This growth is expected to be driven by a 29.6% surge in overseas sales and a 61.4% rise in international console unit volume. Recent successes, such as the strong performance of Atelier Ryza and the critical acclaim for co-developed titles like Fire Emblem: Three Houses, provide a foundation for this expansion. Long-term strategy focuses on the creation of global intellectual properties and multi-platform expansion. The company is targeting an operating profit of ¥17 billion by the end of the next fiscal year, supported by the development of a major AAA console title aimed at selling five million units and a top-tier mobile title capable of generating ¥1 billion in monthly revenue. With a pipeline featuring high-profile releases such as Nioh 2 and Persona 5 Scramble, the company aims to leverage its royalty income and international reach to achieve sustainable growth across the global gaming market.

Financial Results for the First Half of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2022

Koei Tecmo achieved record-breaking financial performance during the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2022, characterized by a 60.8% increase in sales to ¥37.2 billion and a 94.4% surge in operating profit to ¥16.4 billion. This growth was primarily catalyzed by the Entertainment segment, where smartphone and social game revenue nearly doubled. While digital console sales saw a significant 53.3% increase in units sold, the company remains cautious regarding its full-year outlook, maintaining a ¥65 billion sales forecast due to the potential stabilization of pandemic-driven demand and broader global economic volatility. The strategic shift toward online and mobile sectors has proven successful, led by the sustained performance of titles such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms Ha-do and Three Kingdoms Tactics. Although total console unit sales are projected to experience a slight 7% year-over-year decline to 9.4 million units, mobile downloads are expected to rise by 14.5% to over 113 million. These results support a medium-term objective to reach ¥90 billion in annual sales by fiscal year 2023, underpinned by a development pipeline focused on high-profile intellectual properties and the proprietary Katana Engine for efficient multi-platform deployment. Future expansion relies on a multi-layered revenue model that combines internal IP development, such as the cross-media expansion of Blue Reflection, with global collaborations like Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. The long-term growth strategy prioritizes the establishment of new global franchises capable of selling five million units and the launch of smartphone titles targeting monthly revenues of ¥2 billion. By leveraging IP licensing and international partnerships, the organization aims to solidify its position in the global market while diversifying its portfolio across console, mobile, and digital platforms.

Financial Results for the First Half of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2021

Koei Tecmo achieved record-high financial performance during the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2021, characterized by a 39.7% increase in sales to ¥23.1 billion and a 145.6% surge in operating profit to ¥8.4 billion. This growth was primarily catalyzed by a multi-tiered revenue structure that emphasizes high-margin royalty income from intellectual property licensing and robust performance in the mobile segment. Notably, the licensed title Romance of the Three Kingdoms Senryaku-ban maintained a top-three sales ranking in the Chinese market for seven consecutive months, illustrating the success of the company’s global expansion strategy. The entertainment segment further benefited from steady back-catalog sales of established titles such as Nioh 2 and Atelier Ryza. While the company incurred a minor extraordinary loss of ¥124 million due to COVID-19 impacts on physical amusement facilities, the overall digital and licensing momentum more than offset these pressures. Strategic management decisions included shifting the launch of a major new IP, targeted for five million units in sales, to fiscal year 2022 to maximize quality and align with the capabilities of next-generation hardware. Based on these results, the full-year ordinary profit forecast has been upwardly revised to ¥25 billion. Management intends to sustain this positive growth cycle through a combination of internal game engine optimization, multi-platform global releases, and the transition of successful new IPs into long-term series. To reflect this strong financial position and enhance shareholder value, a 1:1.3 stock split is scheduled for April 2021, signaling confidence in the company’s ability to meet its mid-term management objectives through continued international scaling and high-quality project management.
