Square Enix FY2006 Results Briefing Session

The Square Enix fiscal year 2006 results briefing, presented in May 2007, outlines the company’s financial performance for the period ending March 31, 2007, and establishes forward-looking projections for fiscal year 2007. The primary objective is to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive view of the company’s consolidated financial health across its diverse business segments, including offline and online gaming, mobile content, publishing, and amusement operations.

Financial data indicates that for fiscal year 2006, the company generated total net sales of 163.47 billion yen, resulting in an operating income of 25.92 billion yen. The offline games segment remained a significant contributor, though the amusement segment experienced notable operational challenges. Looking ahead to fiscal year 2007, the company projects total net sales of 162.5 billion yen and an operating income of 21 billion yen. These projections are based on management’s internal assumptions regarding market conditions, currency exchange rates, and the competitive landscape of the digital content industry.

The scope of the report covers the entirety of Square Enix’s consolidated operations, with a specific focus on segment-based performance metrics. The methodology relies on Japanese generally accepted accounting principles to report historical results and formulate future earnings forecasts. The company emphasizes that these forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks, including fluctuations in global currency markets and the rapid evolution of consumer preferences in the interactive entertainment sector. Furthermore, the company identifies a long-term strategic goal of achieving 50 billion yen in recurring income, reflecting its commitment to sustained growth across its core business divisions.
