GREE, Inc. achieved its first year-over-year increase in sales and profit in six years, reporting 77.9 billion yen in net sales and 9.4 billion yen in operating income for FY2018.
The company is launching a 10-billion-yen investment strategy into the live entertainment sector, specifically targeting the Virtual YouTuber (VTuber) ecosystem through a new subsidiary, Wright Flyer Live Entertainment.
Mobile gaming remains the core revenue driver, supported by strong performance from titles like SINoALICE and Another Eden and a successful North American expansion of DanMachi that increased its business scale by 1.5 to 2 times.
Future growth plans include releasing four to five new game titles annually and expanding existing IPs to multi-platform environments such as Nintendo Switch and Facebook Instant Games.
Fourth-quarter operating income of 1.6 billion yen was impacted by aggressive growth investments and an impairment loss on goodwill following the acquisition of Three Minutes.
To mark the company's 10th anniversary and return to growth, GREE issued a commemorative dividend, resulting in a total annual dividend of 14 yen per share.
