Koei Tecmo achieved record-high Q1 fiscal 2021 performance with net sales of 11.36 billion yen (up 57.2% YoY) and operating profit of 4.38 billion yen (up 358.6% YoY).
Profitability was driven by high-margin royalty income from the licensed title 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms Senryaku-ban' in China and strong back-catalogue sales of 'Nioh 2', which exceeded one million units.
Overseas revenue grew significantly to 61.7% of total sales, up from 39.5% in the previous year, with Asia (excluding Japan) accounting for 40.6% of the total.
The amusement segment reported an extraordinary loss of 124 million yen due to COVID-19-related facility closures in April and May 2020.
The company declined to provide full-year earnings estimates for the fiscal year ending March 2021, citing ongoing pandemic-related uncertainty.
Strategic priorities include developing a console title targeting five million units in sales and expanding mobile market presence through partnerships like 'Dynasty Warriors: Ha' with Tencent.
