Financial Highlights: 1st Half of Fiscal Year Ending March 2019

Financial highlights for the first half of fiscal year ending March 2019 show a strong performance across KOEI TECMO HOLDINGS’ core entertainment and gaming segments. Net sales rose 16.7 % year‑over‑year to ¥38,926 million, driven mainly by the entertainment segment (¥35,389 million, up 16.7 %) and a significant increase in pachislot & pachinko revenue (¥945 million, up 55.3 %). Amusement facilities and real‑estate sales also grew modestly, while the “Other” segment contracted sharply. Operating income surged 64.3 % to ¥11,711 million, with entertainment contributing the largest share (¥10,938 million). The company’s profitability metrics improved markedly: gross profit margin climbed to 31.7 %, operating margin reached 64.3 % of sales, and net income increased 24.9 % to ¥13,017 million.

Balance‑sheet activity reflected a modest expansion of current assets, particularly cash and marketable securities, while fixed‑asset levels remained stable. Total assets decreased slightly from ¥128,594 million to ¥126,631 million, largely due to a reduction in investment securities. Current liabilities fell by 25 % to ¥8,216 million, improving liquidity. Shareholders’ equity remained robust at ¥112,938 million, with retained earnings near ¥73 billion. Net assets increased marginally to ¥117,092 million.
