Koei Tecmo achieved record-breaking fiscal 2021 results with net sales rising 41.6% to ¥60.37 billion and net profit surging 93.1% to ¥29.55 billion.
Growth was driven by the Entertainment segment, highlighted by an 80.9% increase in mobile revenue and a near-doubling of overseas sales.
The company’s strategy of leveraging console IP into mobile and licensing deals has resulted in 99 million cumulative downloads, with 70% of that user base located overseas.
Key titles such as 'Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity' and the 5-million-unit-selling 'Nioh' franchise serve as the primary models for the company's current growth and IP expansion strategy.
The medium-term management plan through fiscal 2023 targets ¥90 billion in sales and ¥30 billion in operating profit, supported by new high-budget IP and a robust mobile pipeline.
Projections for the upcoming fiscal year estimate a 7.7% increase in net sales to ¥65 billion, though net profit is expected to dip to ¥26.5 billion due to market shifts.
The company maintains a shareholder-focused financial policy with a 50% consolidated payout ratio while continuing to prioritize reinvestment in global intellectual property.
