Financial Highlights: 1st Half of Fiscal Year Ending March 2020

The financial highlights cover KOEI TECMO HOLDINGS’ first half of fiscal year 2019, ending March 2020. Net sales rose to ¥38.97 billion from ¥17.41 billion the prior year, a 4.8 % decline versus the second full year of FY2018 but an increase of 10.3 % against the forecasted ¥43 billion. Gross profit fell by 10.2 %, while operating income dropped 26.6 % to ¥12.09 billion, slightly below the ¥12 billion forecast. Net income decreased 5.7 % to ¥13.69 billion, again below the projected ¥13 billion.

Segment analysis shows entertainment sales at ¥35.12 billion, a 5 % decline from the same period in FY2018 but an 11.2 % rise versus forecast, and operating income from entertainment increased to ¥11.08 billion, a 0.5 % gain over the forecast. Amusement and real‑estate segments also posted higher sales than expected, though operating margins remained lower than the previous year. The “Other” segment saw a modest sales increase but a 48 % drop in operating income.

Balance‑sheet data as of September 30, 2019 indicate total assets of ¥125.75 billion, down from ¥129.19 billion the prior year, largely due to a reduction in current assets and fixed‑asset write‑downs. Current liabilities fell to ¥6.39 billion from ¥8.96 billion, improving liquidity. Shareholders’ equity remained stable at ¥118.67 billion, with retained earnings slightly lower than the prior year.

Overall, KOEI TECMO experienced modest revenue growth against forecasts but faced margin compression across segments, while its balance sheet remained solid with reduced liabilities and stable equity.
