Financial Highlights: Fiscal Year Ending March 2011

Financial highlights for the fiscal year ending March 2011 show a mixed performance for Tecmo Koei Holdings. Net sales fell 7 % to ¥32,081 million from ¥34,502 million in FY2009, driven mainly by declines in game software sales (‑6.6 %) and media & rights revenue (‑44.7 %). Conversely, online & mobile sales grew 14.9 %, and pachislot & pachinko revenue increased 31.5 %. The “Other” segment, largely comprising new or restructured businesses, surged 167.3 % to ¥278 million.

Operating income expanded dramatically by 415.6 %, rising from ¥641 million to ¥3,305 million. This surge was largely due to a 101.2 % jump in game software operating income and a 109.3 % increase in amusement facilities, offset by declines in pachislot & pachinko (‑17.4 %) and media & rights (negative contribution). The “Other” segment contributed a 326.3 % increase in operating income, reflecting successful new initiatives.

Income before taxes and minority interests grew 49.4 % to ¥4,515 million, while net income increased modestly by 5.3 % to ¥2,741 million. The company’s profitability improved despite lower sales volumes, largely through cost efficiencies and higher-margin segments.
