Koei Tecmo Holdings reported a modest improvement in fiscal performance for the year ending March 2017 compared with the prior year. Net sales fell 3.4 % to ¥37,034 million, largely due to a 4.9 % decline in the entertainment segment and a 1.5 % drop in amusement facilities, while pachislot & pachinko sales rose 11.4 %. The “Other” segment, which includes real estate and ancillary activities, grew 145.7 %, offsetting declines in core gaming operations. Operating income contracted 20.7 % to ¥8,781 million, driven by a 25 % reduction in entertainment operating profit and a 57.2 % decline in amusement facilities; the “Other” segment’s operating profit surged 474.1 %. Net income increased 7.1 % to ¥11,624 million, reflecting a 0.6 % rise in the forecasted year and a modest improvement over the previous fiscal period.

Balance‑sheet analysis shows total assets rising 7.9 % to ¥119,461 million, mainly due to higher investment securities and land values. Current assets decreased slightly as cash and receivables fell, while fixed assets grew from ¥83,495 million to ¥92,772 million, largely driven by land acquisitions. Total liabilities increased 5.8 % to ¥12,944 million, with current liabilities rising and long‑term liabilities falling. Shareholders’ equity expanded to ¥105,639 million, supported by retained earnings growth and a reduction in treasury stock.
