Financial Highlights: 1st Half of FY2013

Financial highlights for the first half of fiscal year 2012 (ending March 2013) show a modest increase in consolidated net sales of 0.7 % to ¥13,724 million compared with the same period in FY2011, while full‑year sales for FY2012 were forecast at ¥39 000 million, up 9.8 % from FY2011. Gross profit rose 1.8 % to ¥4,254 million, and operating income surged 26.0 % to ¥897 million, reflecting a strong rebound in the Game Software and Pachislot & Pachinko segments. Income before taxes increased 41.1 % to ¥1,225 million, and net income grew 34.5 % to ¥554 million, both well above the 7.7 % forecasted growth.

Segment analysis reveals that Game Software sales declined slightly by 1.0 % to ¥8,820 million but operating income from this segment jumped 69.1 % to ¥869 million, driven by higher gross margins. Online & Mobile sales fell 16.6 % to ¥2,365 million; operating income from this segment dropped 52.9 % to ¥247 million, partly due to the relocation of CWS Brains from Amusement Facilities to Online & Mobile in FY2011. Media & Rights sales increased 21.4 % to ¥618 million, with operating income turning positive at ¥157 million after a loss of ¥191 million the previous year. Pachislot & Pachinko sales rose 98.9 % to ¥1,120 million, with operating income up 71.8 %. Amusement Facilities and Other segments showed modest growth in sales (6.1 % and –5.2 %, respectively) but maintained stable operating income.
