See it on page 27Tecmo Koei Holdings demonstrated a significant recovery in profitability during the 2010 fiscal year, characterized by a dramatic rise in operating profit from 641 million to 3.3 billion yen despite a slight decline in net sales to 32.1 billion yen. While the Game Software and Online & Mobile segments continue to serve as the primary engines of revenue, the organization remains heavily concentrated in the Japanese market, which currently generates 85.8% of total sales. This financial performance marks a critical stabilization period following the merger of Koei and Tecmo, setting the stage for a long-term objective of reaching 50 billion yen in annual sales.
The strategic roadmap for the 2011 fiscal year prioritizes aggressive expansion into the social gaming sector and a broader global footprint. By doubling social development staff to 200 employees and leveraging established intellectual properties such as Dynasty Warriors and Monster Rancher on international platforms like Facebook and Tencent, the company aims to double its social gaming growth. These initiatives are expected to drive net sales to 35 billion yen and increase operating profit by 51% to 5 billion yen. This growth strategy is supported by a commitment to cross-group synergies and rigorous cost management to improve overall margins.
Future operations will focus on revitalizing the packaged game segment through support for new hardware platforms while pursuing a target ordinary profit ratio exceeding 30%. By diversifying content across multiple platforms and reducing reliance on the domestic Japanese market, the company seeks to establish a more balanced global presence. The transition toward high-growth digital segments and the optimization of internal resources post-merger remain the central pillars for achieving sustained financial expansion and operational scale in the coming years.
