Koei Tecmo’s Q3 sales fell 14% year-over-year to ¥61.1 billion, primarily due to a lighter release schedule for console and PC titles compared to the previous fiscal year.
Operating profit declined 25.8% to ¥20.3 billion, though net profit increased 3.6% to ¥25.2 billion due to stable ordinary and net profit performance.
The company maintains its full-year forecast of ¥90 billion in sales and ¥30 billion in operating profit, heavily dependent on the performance of upcoming titles like 'Dynasty Warriors: ORIGINS'.
The Entertainment segment, the company's primary revenue driver, saw a 14.9% revenue drop as the business relied more on existing mobile IPs rather than new console and PC releases.
Personnel costs rose 10% year-over-year due to base-pay increases and hiring, which were partially offset by reduced spending on outsourcing and advertising.
Koei Tecmo is targeting a 35% free-float ratio by March 2026 to comply with Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market listing standards.
The company continues its 50% payout policy, splitting net profit equally between shareholder returns (dividends and buybacks) and growth investments.
