Koei Tecmo achieved record-high profits for the fiscal year ending March 2018, with net sales rising 5.1% to 38.9 billion yen and operating profit surging 33.4% to 11.7 billion yen.
International expansion drove performance, as overseas revenue grew by 30% to account for one-third of total sales, with unit sales in Europe and North America increasing by 89.8% and 60.6% respectively.
Key titles were central to financial success, specifically Nioh with over 1.9 million copies sold and Fire Emblem Warriors surpassing 1 million units.
The company’s mid-term plan through fiscal year 2020 targets a 10% average annual increase in sales and profit, supported by a goal to create global IPs capable of selling 5 million units.
Strategic priorities include a three-year expansion into the Chinese market and the development of smartphone titles targeted to generate 1 billion yen in monthly profit.
Management projects continued growth for the fiscal year ending March 2019 with a sales target of 41 billion yen and a commitment to a 50% shareholder payout policy.
Infrastructure investment is underway, including a new office in Minato Mirai designed to modernize operations and cultivate global-oriented producers and directors.
