Koei Tecmo Holdings Co., Ltd. reported significant growth in its consolidated financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. Net sales reached ¥61,136 million, a 23.7% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. While operating profit saw a decline of 11.7% to ¥20,316 million, ordinary profit surged by 100.4% to ¥33,825 million. Profit attributable to owners of the parent also saw a substantial rise of 80.2%, totaling ¥24,283 million. The divergence between operating and ordinary profit is largely attributed to non-operating activities, specifically gains from the sale of investment securities and the valuation of derivatives. Non-operating income rose to ¥29,341 million, bolstered by ¥9,407 million in investment security sales and ¥8,127 million in derivative valuation gains. Conversely, non-operating expenses decreased from the prior year, despite losses on the redemption of securities and sales of investments. The company’s financial position remains robust, with total assets increasing to ¥244,844 million as of December 31, 2023, up from ¥210,889 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. This growth was driven by a significant increase in current assets, particularly securities and cash. However, the capital adequacy ratio saw a slight decrease from 67.4% to 64.1%, influenced by the reclassification of convertible bonds to current liabilities. Looking ahead to the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, the company maintains its forecast of ¥95,000 million in net sales and ¥31,000 million in profit attributable to owners of the parent. These results reflect a period of strong top-line growth and effective asset management, despite rising selling, general, and administrative expenses which impacted operating margins. The data covers the company's global operations under Japanese GAAP.
