Financial Highlights for the 1st Half of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2019 (FY2018)

Koei Tecmo reported strong H1 FY2018 growth with net sales rising 16.7% to 17.4 billion yen and operating income surging 64.3% to 4.68 billion yen.

The Entertainment segment remains the core business driver, generating 15.65 billion yen in sales and 4.18 billion yen in operating income during the first half.

The company maintains a robust balance sheet with 126.6 billion yen in total assets, including 75 billion yen in investment securities and a strengthened equity position of 112.9 billion yen.

Diversified business units showed significant momentum, with the Pachislot & Pachinko segment growing revenue by 55.3% and the Amusement Facilities segment returning to profitability.

Total liabilities decreased from 12.3 billion yen to 9.5 billion yen by September 30, 2018, reflecting a low-debt financial profile.

Despite a positive full-year sales forecast of 41 billion yen, the company projects a more conservative second half with anticipated year-over-year declines in pre-tax and net income.
