Summary

The financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2012 reflect a period of steady growth and strategic transition for the merged entity of Koei and Tecmo. Net sales for the period ending September 2012 reached 13.7 billion yen, a slight increase over the previous year, while operating profit saw a significant rise to 1.2 billion yen. This performance was driven largely by the worldwide success of Dead or Alive 5, which sold 580,000 units, and the domestic Japanese performance of Atelier Ayesha at 120,000 units. The geographic profile of the company shifted during this period, with overseas sales increasing from 13.3% to 20.9% of total revenue, supported by a near doubling of unit sales in North America and Europe. The strategic focus emphasizes a multi-platform approach, expanding beyond traditional home video game software into online and mobile segments. While game software remains the primary revenue driver, accounting for 8.9 billion yen in the first half, there is a concerted effort to strengthen the download business and social game integration. Key initiatives include the global expansion of social titles like Samurai Cats and the utilization of the Gust brand following its acquisition. Efficiency remains a priority, as evidenced by a 2.0-point improvement in the selling, general, and administrative expenses ratio compared to the previous year. Looking ahead, the full-year plan for fiscal 2012 targets 39 billion yen in net sales and 7 billion yen in operating profit. This outlook is supported by a robust pipeline of collaborative titles, such as Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2, and continued expansion into the smartphone market with titles like Shin Sangoku Musou Slash. The company aims to capitalize on a recovering Japanese home video game market, which grew 10.7% in the first half of the year, while continuing to reduce costs and maximize synergies between its various intellectual properties and business segments.

FY2020 3rd Quarter Presentation Materials

Koei Tecmo Holdings reported record-high financial performance for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, ending December 31, 2020. Driven by strong global software sales and high non-operating income, the company achieved an operating profit of 10.9 billion yen in a single quarter. Year-to-date sales reached 43.9 billion yen, a 64.7% increase over the previous year, while operating profit surged by 201.2% to 19.3 billion yen. This growth was balanced across geographic regions, with overseas sales increasing by 124.7% to account for over 50% of total revenue. The primary drivers of this performance were major console releases and successful mobile IP licensing. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity emerged as a significant hit, selling over 3.5 million units globally. Other notable contributors included Atelier Ryza 2 and the continued performance of the back-catalogue title Nioh 2, which surpassed 1.4 million units. In the mobile and online segment, Romance of the Three Kingdoms Ha-do and the licensed title Romance of the Three Kingdoms Senryaku-ban maintained strong momentum, contributing to an 86.5% year-over-year increase in smartphone and social game revenue. Based on these results, the company upwardly revised its full-year earnings estimates and dividend forecasts. The full-year operating profit outlook was raised from 17 billion yen to 22 billion yen. Future growth strategies focus on multi-platform global expansions, including the Western release of Persona 5 Strikers and the launch of Dynasty Warriors mobile titles in Japan and China. The company maintains a policy of a 50% consolidated payout ratio, reflecting its strengthened financial position and commitment to shareholder returns.

Fiscal Year Ended March 2012 Financial Results

Tecmo Koei achieved record financial performance for the fiscal year ending March 2012, characterized by a 10.7% increase in sales to ¥35.5 billion and a substantial 69.3% surge in net income to ¥4.6 billion. This growth was primarily fueled by the success of high-profile software titles, most notably One Piece: Kaizoku Musou, which sold 630,000 units, and a rapid expansion into the social gaming sector that reached a user base exceeding 500 million. The company’s strategic focus centered on leveraging established intellectual properties and high-impact collaborations, such as Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition, to drive engagement across both traditional and digital platforms. Operational efficiency remained a core pillar of the corporate strategy, evidenced by an 8.9-point improvement in the selling, general, and administrative expenses-to-sales ratio since 2009. The acquisition of Gust Co., Ltd. further bolstered profitability by integrating the high-margin Atelier franchise into the portfolio. Moving forward, the objective is to maintain an ordinary profit ratio above 30% while targeting ¥39 billion in sales for the upcoming fiscal year. This trajectory relies on the continued globalization of core IPs and an aggressive pivot toward digital download revenue and mobile gaming markets. While these projections reflect a robust outlook for the 2012 fiscal year, they remain subject to the inherent risks and uncertainties of the global entertainment market. Future performance depends on the successful execution of digital expansion and the ability to maintain cost efficiencies amidst shifting consumer preferences. These financial objectives represent strategic targets rather than guaranteed outcomes, as the company navigates a transition toward a more digitally-oriented business model.

Consolidated Financial Results Data Appendix: FY2025 Q2

Koei Tecmo’s financial performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 reflects a transitional period characterized by a year-to-date decline in consolidated sales to 31,268 million yen and an operating profit of 7,964 million yen. Despite this temporary downturn compared to the previous fiscal year, the organization maintains an optimistic full-year sales forecast of 92,000 million yen. This projected growth is predicated on a recovery in North American and European markets and the continued strength of the Entertainment segment. Operational costs have risen alongside a growing workforce, with headcount reaching 2,871 employees and employment expenses totaling 13,080 million yen. The strategic focus has shifted heavily toward digital and international markets, with digital sales now accounting for 83.1% of total revenue and overseas markets representing 72.1% of unit sales. The long-term growth strategy is supported by a robust pipeline of high-profile intellectual properties scheduled for late 2025 and early 2026. These upcoming releases include major sequels such as Ninja Gaiden 4 and Nioh 3, alongside several titles specifically optimized for the successor to the Nintendo Switch. The enduring value of established franchises remains a cornerstone of the business model. The Dynasty Warriors series continues to lead the portfolio with over 24 million lifetime units, followed by Nobunaga’s Ambition at 11 million and Romance of the Three Kingdoms at 9.5 million. Newer successes like Nioh and Atelier have each surpassed 8 million units, while Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has secured over 5 million users. This console and PC success is complemented by a resilient online and mobile segment, where titles such as Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation have demonstrated significant longevity through more than seven years of continuous service.

This financial report details GREE, Inc.’s performance for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. The primary thesis centers on the company’s aggressive transition into a global mobile social gaming powerhouse, driven by the integration of the GREE and OpenFeint platforms. By December 2011, the group reached a global registered user base of 189.2 million, with international users significantly outnumbering the domestic Japanese audience, which accounted for 15.3% of the total. Financial results for the quarter show record-breaking growth. Net sales reached 41.5 billion yen, representing a 190% year-over-year increase, while operating profit rose 225% to 22.5 billion yen. This performance was fueled by the steady monetization of smartphone services and a robust portfolio of both in-house and partner games.

Consequently, the company upwardly revised its full-year 2012 forecasts, projecting net sales between 160 and 170 billion yen.

Koei Tecmo Holdings Financial Summary: FY2024 Q3

This financial summary details the consolidated fiscal performance of Koei Tecmo Holdings for the third quarter of FY2024, ending December 31, 2023. The data reflects a period of stabilizing revenues compared to the previous fiscal year, with third-quarter sales reaching 17.37 billion yen. While operating profit for the quarter stood at 4.42 billion yen, the company experienced a significant boost in ordinary profit, which rose to 12.14 billion yen due to 7.72 billion yen in non-operating income. This follows a volatile second quarter where non-operating losses had previously impacted the bottom line. The Entertainment segment remains the primary driver of the business, contributing 16.03 billion yen to quarterly sales. Within this segment, the balance between Console/PC and Online/Mobile remains significant; Console/PC sales reached 7.3 billion yen, while Online/Mobile—driven almost entirely by mobile titles—contributed 8.63 billion yen. Geographically, Japan continues to be the largest market, accounting for 8.99 billion yen in quarterly sales, followed by Asia (4.71 billion yen) and North America (2.99 billion yen). Key operational metrics indicate a strong shift toward digital distribution, with the digital ratio for software sales reaching 72.9% in the third quarter. Total software sales units for the quarter were 1.68 million copies, contributing to a nine-month cumulative total of 4.34 million units. Despite a slight decrease in total headcount to 2,713 employees, employment costs have risen steadily, reflecting a broader industry trend of increasing fixed costs. The company maintains a full-year forecast of 90 billion yen in sales and 30 billion yen in operating profit, suggesting an expectation of a strong fourth-quarter performance to meet these annual targets.

Financial Results for the First Half of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2022

Koei Tecmo achieved record-breaking financial performance during the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2022, characterized by a 60.8% increase in sales to ¥37.2 billion and a 94.4% surge in operating profit to ¥16.4 billion. This growth was primarily catalyzed by the Entertainment segment, where smartphone and social game revenue nearly doubled. While digital console sales saw a significant 53.3% increase in units sold, the company remains cautious regarding its full-year outlook, maintaining a ¥65 billion sales forecast due to the potential stabilization of pandemic-driven demand and broader global economic volatility. The strategic shift toward online and mobile sectors has proven successful, led by the sustained performance of titles such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms Ha-do and Three Kingdoms Tactics. Although total console unit sales are projected to experience a slight 7% year-over-year decline to 9.4 million units, mobile downloads are expected to rise by 14.5% to over 113 million. These results support a medium-term objective to reach ¥90 billion in annual sales by fiscal year 2023, underpinned by a development pipeline focused on high-profile intellectual properties and the proprietary Katana Engine for efficient multi-platform deployment. Future expansion relies on a multi-layered revenue model that combines internal IP development, such as the cross-media expansion of Blue Reflection, with global collaborations like Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. The long-term growth strategy prioritizes the establishment of new global franchises capable of selling five million units and the launch of smartphone titles targeting monthly revenues of ¥2 billion. By leveraging IP licensing and international partnerships, the organization aims to solidify its position in the global market while diversifying its portfolio across console, mobile, and digital platforms.
