Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2022
Koei Tecmo achieved record-breaking financial performance during the fiscal year ending March 2022, characterized by a 20.5% increase in sales to ¥72.7 billion and a 41.5% surge in operating profit to ¥34.5 billion. This growth was primarily catalyzed by the Entertainment segment, where smartphone and social game revenues rose by 48.2% and cumulative mobile downloads increased by nearly 30%. High-performing titles such as Three Kingdoms Tactics and steady repeat sales of established console franchises like Nioh 2 allowed the company to meet its three-year medium-term profit targets in only one year. The strategic focus for the upcoming fiscal year involves a transition toward long-term major title development under a new management plan. While sales are projected to rise further to ¥77 billion, operating profits are expected to experience a temporary decline as the company reinvests in its workforce and infrastructure. This includes a significant 23% increase in basic employee salaries and the establishment of a new IP Business Division and a Shanghai office to better penetrate the Chinese market and manage global licensing. Future expansion strategies prioritize the creation of a new intellectual property capable of selling five million units and the development of mobile titles that generate ¥2 billion in monthly revenue. Geographically, the company is shifting its emphasis toward North America and Europe, forecasting a 15.6% growth in console unit sales to reach 9.4 million units globally. By balancing the steady revenue of licensed mobile content with the ambitious development of large-scale internal IPs, the organization aims to solidify its position as a global leader in the entertainment industry.

Fiscal Year Ended March 2012 Financial Results
Tecmo Koei achieved record financial performance for the fiscal year ending March 2012, characterized by a 10.7% increase in sales to ¥35.5 billion and a substantial 69.3% surge in net income to ¥4.6 billion. This growth was primarily fueled by the success of high-profile software titles, most notably One Piece: Kaizoku Musou, which sold 630,000 units, and a rapid expansion into the social gaming sector that reached a user base exceeding 500 million. The company’s strategic focus centered on leveraging established intellectual properties and high-impact collaborations, such as Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition, to drive engagement across both traditional and digital platforms. Operational efficiency remained a core pillar of the corporate strategy, evidenced by an 8.9-point improvement in the selling, general, and administrative expenses-to-sales ratio since 2009. The acquisition of Gust Co., Ltd. further bolstered profitability by integrating the high-margin Atelier franchise into the portfolio. Moving forward, the objective is to maintain an ordinary profit ratio above 30% while targeting ¥39 billion in sales for the upcoming fiscal year. This trajectory relies on the continued globalization of core IPs and an aggressive pivot toward digital download revenue and mobile gaming markets. While these projections reflect a robust outlook for the 2012 fiscal year, they remain subject to the inherent risks and uncertainties of the global entertainment market. Future performance depends on the successful execution of digital expansion and the ability to maintain cost efficiencies amidst shifting consumer preferences. These financial objectives represent strategic targets rather than guaranteed outcomes, as the company navigates a transition toward a more digitally-oriented business model.

FY2012 2nd Quarter Presentation Materials
The financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2012 reflect a period of steady growth and strategic transition for the merged entity of Koei and Tecmo. Net sales for the period ending September 2012 reached 13.7 billion yen, a slight increase over the previous year, while operating profit saw a significant rise to 1.2 billion yen. This performance was driven largely by the worldwide success of Dead or Alive 5, which sold 580,000 units, and the domestic Japanese performance of Atelier Ayesha at 120,000 units. The geographic profile of the company shifted during this period, with overseas sales increasing from 13.3% to 20.9% of total revenue, supported by a near doubling of unit sales in North America and Europe. The strategic focus emphasizes a multi-platform approach, expanding beyond traditional home video game software into online and mobile segments. While game software remains the primary revenue driver, accounting for 8.9 billion yen in the first half, there is a concerted effort to strengthen the download business and social game integration. Key initiatives include the global expansion of social titles like Samurai Cats and the utilization of the Gust brand following its acquisition. Efficiency remains a priority, as evidenced by a 2.0-point improvement in the selling, general, and administrative expenses ratio compared to the previous year. Looking ahead, the full-year plan for fiscal 2012 targets 39 billion yen in net sales and 7 billion yen in operating profit. This outlook is supported by a robust pipeline of collaborative titles, such as Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2, and continued expansion into the smartphone market with titles like Shin Sangoku Musou Slash. The company aims to capitalize on a recovering Japanese home video game market, which grew 10.7% in the first half of the year, while continuing to reduce costs and maximize synergies between its various intellectual properties and business segments.

Financial Results: Fiscal Year Ended 2010
Tecmo Koei Holdings demonstrated a significant recovery in profitability during the 2010 fiscal year, characterized by a dramatic rise in operating profit from 641 million to 3.3 billion yen despite a slight decline in net sales to 32.1 billion yen. While the Game Software and Online & Mobile segments continue to serve as the primary engines of revenue, the organization remains heavily concentrated in the Japanese market, which currently generates 85.8% of total sales. This financial performance marks a critical stabilization period following the merger of Koei and Tecmo, setting the stage for a long-term objective of reaching 50 billion yen in annual sales. The strategic roadmap for the 2011 fiscal year prioritizes aggressive expansion into the social gaming sector and a broader global footprint. By doubling social development staff to 200 employees and leveraging established intellectual properties such as Dynasty Warriors and Monster Rancher on international platforms like Facebook and Tencent, the company aims to double its social gaming growth. These initiatives are expected to drive net sales to 35 billion yen and increase operating profit by 51% to 5 billion yen. This growth strategy is supported by a commitment to cross-group synergies and rigorous cost management to improve overall margins. Future operations will focus on revitalizing the packaged game segment through support for new hardware platforms while pursuing a target ordinary profit ratio exceeding 30%. By diversifying content across multiple platforms and reducing reliance on the domestic Japanese market, the company seeks to establish a more balanced global presence. The transition toward high-growth digital segments and the optimization of internal resources post-merger remain the central pillars for achieving sustained financial expansion and operational scale in the coming years.
