Financial Highlights: Fiscal Year Ending March 2018 (FY2017)

Koei Tecmo Holdings achieved significant financial growth during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, characterized by a substantial increase in profitability despite modest top-line expansion. Net sales rose by 5.1% to reach 38,926 million yen, while operating income surged by 33.4% to 11,711 million yen. This performance was driven primarily by the core Entertainment segment, which saw a 7.2% increase in sales and a 40% jump in operating income. Net income for the period reached 13,017 million yen, representing a 12% year-over-year improvement.

The Entertainment division remains the dominant revenue driver, contributing 35,389 million yen to the total sales mix. In contrast, the Pachislot and Pachinko segment experienced a sharp decline, with sales falling by 52.6% and operating income dropping by over 60%. While the Amusement Facilities segment saw a 21.3% increase in sales, it recorded an operating loss of 362 million yen. Other smaller segments, including Real Estate and miscellaneous categories, showed varied performance but remained minor contributors to the overall corporate portfolio.

The consolidated balance sheet reflects a strong capital position, with total assets increasing from 119,461 million yen to 129,367 million yen. A notable shift occurred in the asset structure, as cash and time deposits decreased while investment securities grew significantly to 78,938 million yen. Total net assets rose to 116,242 million yen, supported by a healthy increase in retained earnings. Looking forward to the 2018 fiscal year, forecasts suggest continued sales growth to 41,000 million yen, though net income is projected to stabilize with a slight 4% decrease compared to the 2017 results.
