Koei Tecmo Holdings achieved record-breaking financial performance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, characterized by significant growth across all major profitability metrics. Net sales rose to 60.37 billion yen, representing a 41.6% increase over the previous year. This surge in revenue drove even more substantial gains in profitability, with operating income climbing 73% to 24.4 billion yen and net income nearly doubling to 29.55 billion yen, a 93.1% year-over-year improvement.
The entertainment segment served as the primary engine for growth, contributing 56.8 billion yen in sales and 23.97 billion yen in operating income. While the amusement and real estate segments remained profitable, they experienced declines in operating income of 29.1% and 50.3% respectively, highlighting the company's increasing reliance on its core software and digital entertainment business. The balance sheet reflects a robust financial position, with total assets expanding from 147.8 billion yen to 190.7 billion yen. This growth was largely fueled by a massive increase in investment securities, which rose from 71.35 billion yen to 113.18 billion yen.
Looking ahead to the fiscal year ending March 2022, forecasts suggest continued revenue expansion to 65 billion yen. However, the company anticipates a stabilization of profits, projecting a slight 0.4% increase in operating income and a 10.3% decrease in net income compared to the exceptional highs of the 2020 fiscal year. Overall, the data demonstrates a period of rapid scaling and successful capital management, positioning the organization with high liquidity and a strong equity ratio as it enters the next period.
