Financial Highlights: 1st Half of FY2016

Financial highlights for the first half of FY2016 show a 9.3 % increase in net sales to ¥38,332 million compared with the same period in FY2015, driven primarily by a 10.9 % rise in entertainment segment sales to ¥34,713 million. Pachislot & Pachinko and real‑estate revenues also grew modestly, while amusement facilities revenue fell 5.9 %. Operating income surged 11.0 % to ¥11,069 million, largely due to higher entertainment operating profits, offset by declines in the pachislot & pachinko segment. Net income increased 1.3 % to ¥11,000 million for the full year, reflecting a modest 6.8 % decline in the first half but an overall positive trend.

Consolidated balance‑sheet data as of September 30, 2016 show total assets at ¥99,609 million, down from ¥110,925 million a year earlier, largely due to reductions in current assets and investment securities. Current liabilities fell sharply from ¥10,584 million to ¥4,744 million, improving liquidity. Shareholders’ equity remained strong at ¥97,380 million, with retained earnings slightly lower than the prior year. The company’s cash and time deposits decreased to ¥10,132 million, while marketable securities increased to ¥1,230 million.
