Nintendo Q1 FY2024 Financial Results (English)
Thunderful Group’s interim report for the first quarter of 2024 details a period of significant financial decline and aggressive corporate restructuring. Net revenue fell 27.7 percent to 391.7 MSEK, while the group recorded an operating loss (EBIT) of 184.4 MSEK, a sharp reversal from the 19.2 MSEK profit reported in the same period the previous year. This downturn was driven by a 35.5 percent revenue drop in the Games segment and a 25.7 percent decrease in Distribution, largely due to weaker market demand for Nintendo Switch products and the underperformance of the internal title SteamWorld Build. To address these challenges, the group initiated a restructuring program aimed at annual cost savings of 90–110 MSEK. This process involved a 72.4 MSEK write-down of capitalized development costs following the cancellation or divestment of twelve game projects. Strategic shifts include the divestment of the German publishing subsidiary Headup GmbH and the sale of Nordic Game Supply’s assets to reduce net debt. Despite these pressures, the group successfully extended its Nintendo distribution agreement for the Nordics and Baltics through March 2026 and reported 13.9 percent growth in its Amo Toys division. The report covers the group’s global operations with a focus on European and Nordic markets for the period of January to March 2024. Financial data indicates a strained liquidity position, with cash and credit facilities dropping to 130.9 MSEK from 329.3 MSEK year-over-year. Management secured a bank waiver conditional on asset divestments and maintains that current funds are sufficient for continued operations. The overarching strategy moving forward emphasizes a simplified games portfolio, more rigorous project validation, and a balanced risk profile across internal and external development.

FY26/3 Earnings Summary and Mid- to Long-Term Growth Strategies
Capcom’s FY26/3 earnings marked the company’s strongest performance to date, with net sales reaching ¥1.95 bn and operating profit up 15 % year‑over‑year to ¥752 m. The growth stemmed from a “flywheel” effect: new IP releases, catalog sales, and digital distribution channels all contributed to a record 5.907 million cumulative units sold, up 13.9 % in volume. The company’s strategy for FY27/3 is to sustain this momentum, targeting a 10 %+ operating‑profit increase and expanding its retail footprint to 70 stores. Sales are projected at ¥2.09 bn, driven by quarterly releases of new IP titles and a focus on high‑margin franchises such as Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter. A key pillar of the plan is a multi‑channel IP exploitation model that includes character licensing, media tie‑ins, eSports, and mobile extensions, with particular emphasis on emerging markets to push long‑term unit volumes toward 100 million. Operationally, Capcom has broadened its development workforce from 2,842 in FY23 to an anticipated 3,180 by FY27, leveraging cross‑generational teams and a proprietary engine to enhance productivity. AI tools have reduced routine task time, freeing developers for creative work. Workforce diversity has improved, with female core‑role representation at 15.7 % and paternity leave uptake at 79.7 %. Capital allocation remains balanced, returning 30 % of cash to shareholders while investing heavily in R&D. The company’s projected operating margin for FY27/3 is 49.8 %, with a shift toward higher digital and online revenue streams, underscoring its commitment to sustainable growth across global markets.
