Koei Tecmo Holdings FY2024 Financial Results: 4th Mid-term Management Plan

Koei Tecmo achieved record-high ordinary and net profits in fiscal year 2024, propelled by the successful launch of new titles, sustained growth in back-catalog digital sales, and disciplined cost management. This financial performance underscores the company’s strengthening position within the global digital entertainment sector, where it currently holds the 14th rank in operating profit. To support future expansion, the organization is transitioning leadership in June 2025, appointing Hisashi Koinuma as President and CEO to bolster corporate governance and align with Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market listing standards by March 2026.

The newly unveiled Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan for fiscal years 2025 through 2027 establishes a strategic roadmap to elevate the company into the top 10 global digital entertainment firms. The plan targets a cumulative operating profit exceeding 100 billion yen and a 30% profit margin. Central to this objective is a balanced development pipeline that mitigates risk by diversifying between large-scale projects and smaller, lower-risk titles. Furthermore, the company is prioritizing significant investments in human capital and development infrastructure to enhance long-term productivity and creative output.

While the financial forecast for fiscal year 2025 remains conservative due to prevailing global economic uncertainties, the company is committed to aggressive international expansion and increased unit sales through a robust multi-platform release strategy. This growth trajectory is supported by a shareholder-friendly policy, which maintains a 50% total payout ratio. By focusing on quality, sales capability, and operational efficiency, the company aims to solidify its competitive standing and deliver consistent value to stakeholders throughout the three-year planning period.
