Financial Highlights: 1st Half of Fiscal Year Ending March 2012

Financial highlights for the first half of fiscal year ending March 2012 reveal a mixed performance across Tecmo Koei Holdings’ business segments. Net sales rose 23.2 % year‑over‑year to ¥11,069 million, driven primarily by growth in Game Software (40.7 % increase) and Online & Mobile (57.2 % increase). Media & Rights, Pachislot & Pachinko, Amusement Facilities, and Other segments all experienced declines ranging from 20.4 % to 39.5 %. Corporate and elimination items contributed a net negative of ¥753 million, offsetting gains in other areas.

Operating income for the period was ¥641 million, a sharp improvement from a loss of ¥1,656 million in the same period a year earlier. The recovery was largely due to Game Software (+34.8 %) and Online & Mobile (+66.4 %). However, Media & Rights, Pachislot & Pachinko, Amusement Facilities, and Other segments remained unprofitable or posted modest gains. Corporate and elimination costs again weighed heavily on profitability.

Net income increased to ¥412 million, up 31.3 % from a loss of ¥571 million in the prior year’s first half, reflecting stronger operating performance and reduced tax expenses. Forecasts for the full year indicate a modest 9.1 % increase in net sales to ¥35,000 million and a target operating income of ¥5,000 million.

The analysis draws on consolidated financial statements for the first half and full year of FY2011, comparing them to FY2009 and FY2010 figures. Data are presented in millions of yen, with year‑over‑year changes expressed as percentages.
