Financial Highlights: 1st Half of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2018

Financial highlights for the first half of KOEI TECMO HOLDINGS’ fiscal year ending March 2018 reveal a mixed performance. Net sales fell 10 % to ¥16,576 million compared with the same period in FY2016, driven mainly by a 51.9 % decline in Pachislot & Pachinko revenue and a 64.3 % drop in the Other segment, offset by growth in Entertainment (−8.4 %) and Amusement Facilities (+4.9 %). Gross profit contracted 3.2 % to ¥6,569 million, while operating income rose 31 % to ¥2,748 million, largely due to a 32.4 % increase in Entertainment operating income and a 21.0 % rise in Real Estate. Income before taxes surged 40.6 % to ¥4,904 million, and net income climbed 33.0 % to ¥3,786 million, reflecting improved profitability in core entertainment operations.

The balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 shows total assets at ¥119.5 billion, slightly down from the prior year’s ¥120.0 billion. Current assets decreased to ¥17,143 million, largely because cash and time deposits fell from ¥11,868 million to ¥5,062 million. Current liabilities also dropped sharply to ¥6,530 million from ¥11,460 million, driven by lower trade payables and accrued bonuses. Long‑term liabilities increased to ¥2,543 million from ¥1,484 million, mainly due to higher deferred tax liabilities. Shareholders’ equity remained stable at ¥105.6 billion, with retained earnings slightly lower.

Overall, the company experienced a decline in sales but improved operating efficiency and profitability. Cash reserves were reduced, while liabilities shifted toward longer‑term obligations, indicating a strategic focus on restructuring and investment in future growth areas.
