Financial highlights for the fiscal year ending March 2013 (FY2012) show a modest decline in net sales of 2.5 % to ¥34,639 million, driven mainly by a 4.7 % drop in Game Software sales and a 2.7 % fall in Online & Mobile revenue. Gross profit, however, increased by 3.3 % to ¥13,939 million, reflecting higher operating income of 7.8 % (¥6,208 million) and a 17.4 % rise in income before taxes to ¥8,779 million.
