Consolidated Financial Results Data Appendix: FY2025 Q2

Koei Tecmo’s financial performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 reflects a transitional period characterized by a year-to-date decline in consolidated sales to 31,268 million yen and an operating profit of 7,964 million yen. Despite this temporary downturn compared to the previous fiscal year, the organization maintains an optimistic full-year sales forecast of 92,000 million yen. This projected growth is predicated on a recovery in North American and European markets and the continued strength of the Entertainment segment. Operational costs have risen alongside a growing workforce, with headcount reaching 2,871 employees and employment expenses totaling 13,080 million yen. The strategic focus has shifted heavily toward digital and international markets, with digital sales now accounting for 83.1% of total revenue and overseas markets representing 72.1% of unit sales. The long-term growth strategy is supported by a robust pipeline of high-profile intellectual properties scheduled for late 2025 and early 2026. These upcoming releases include major sequels such as Ninja Gaiden 4 and Nioh 3, alongside several titles specifically optimized for the successor to the Nintendo Switch. The enduring value of established franchises remains a cornerstone of the business model. The Dynasty Warriors series continues to lead the portfolio with over 24 million lifetime units, followed by Nobunaga’s Ambition at 11 million and Romance of the Three Kingdoms at 9.5 million. Newer successes like Nioh and Atelier have each surpassed 8 million units, while Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has secured over 5 million users. This console and PC success is complemented by a resilient online and mobile segment, where titles such as Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation have demonstrated significant longevity through more than seven years of continuous service.

Consolidated Quarterly Data Appendix: FY2025 3rd Quarter

Koei Tecmo’s financial performance through the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 demonstrates robust growth driven by a strong international presence and the steady expansion of its core intellectual properties. Consolidated sales reached 51,729 million yen year-to-date, supported by a healthy 32% profit ratio in the third quarter. The Entertainment segment remains the primary engine of this success, contributing 47.5 billion yen to total revenue. This performance is increasingly global in scope, with overseas sales accounting for 36.1% of total revenue and a significant 75.9% of total game units sold. Digital transformation remains a key trend for the firm, as evidenced by a 68% digital download rate across 6.06 million units sold during the period. The company’s long-term stability is anchored by its flagship franchises, with Dynasty Warriors and Nobunaga’s Ambition reaching lifetime milestones of 24 million and 11 million units, respectively. While the Online and Mobile sector slightly edges out Console and PC sales in terms of year-to-date revenue, both segments remain vital to the corporate strategy. To support this continued growth, the organization has expanded its consolidated headcount to 2,849 employees, positioning itself to meet a full-year sales forecast of 92,000 million yen. Future growth is predicated on an aggressive multi-platform release schedule extending into 2026. Strategic focus is shifting toward next-generation hardware, with several high-profile titles slated for the Nintendo Switch 2, including Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and Pokémon Pokopia. The pipeline also features major sequels to established action franchises, such as Ninja Gaiden 4 and Nioh 3, alongside continued investment in the mobile market through both in-house development and licensed IP for the Chinese market. This diversified approach across hardware cycles and geographic regions underscores a commitment to maintaining high profitability through a mix of legacy brand management and new platform adoption.

Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2025

Koei Tecmo experienced a transitional first quarter for the fiscal year ending March 2025, characterized by a 15.9% year-on-year decline in sales to 14.8 billion yen and a 55.5% drop in net profit. This downturn stems primarily from a lack of major new releases and a contraction in the online and mobile sectors. Despite this initial volatility, the company maintains its full-year sales forecast of 92 billion yen, representing a projected 10.6% annual increase. This optimism is anchored in a release schedule heavily weighted toward the second half of the fiscal year, featuring major titles such as Dynasty Warriors: Origins and upcoming projects for next-generation hardware. The current fiscal year marks the commencement of the Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan, which seeks to position the firm among the world’s top ten digital entertainment companies. Strategic priorities focus on achieving a cumulative operating profit exceeding 100 billion yen over three years while maintaining an operating profit margin of at least 30%. To support these goals, the company is aggressively expanding its global publishing infrastructure and targeting growth in North America, Europe, China, and emerging markets like the Middle East. The development strategy emphasizes a multi-platform approach, utilizing the proprietary Katana Engine alongside Unreal Engine to elevate titles to AAA quality standards. Long-term stability is being pursued through significant investments in human capital and governance. The company plans to allocate over 100 billion yen toward personnel and infrastructure, including a 10% annual increase in personnel costs to attract and retain talent. Governance reforms are also underway to meet Tokyo Stock Exchange requirements, including a transition to a board composed of over 50% external directors. Furthermore, a commitment to shareholder returns remains central to the financial strategy, with a target consolidated payout ratio of 50% and a minimum annual dividend of 50 yen, balancing aggressive global expansion with consistent investor value.

Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2022

Koei Tecmo Holdings reported record-high performance for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2022, characterized by significant year-over-year growth across all primary financial metrics. Net sales reached 20.52 billion yen, an 80.6% increase over the previous year, while operating profit surged 121.5% to 9.72 billion yen. This growth was driven by a robust console software lineup, including the launch of Samurai Warriors 5 and various remastered titles, alongside strong performance in the online and mobile segments. The entertainment segment remained the primary revenue driver, contributing 19.65 billion yen to total sales. Within this segment, smartphone and social game revenues nearly doubled, bolstered by the success of Romance of the Three Kingdoms Ha-do and lucrative IP licensing-out agreements, such as Three Kingdoms Tactics in Japan. Geographically, the company maintained a balanced revenue split, with overseas markets accounting for 51.3% of total sales, though Japan saw the most dramatic year-over-year growth at 129.8%. Digital sales continued to gain prominence, with the digital download ratio for console units rising to 61.2% from 49.1% in the prior year. Based on these strong results, the company issued an upward revision for its half-year earnings estimates. However, it maintained its original full-year forecast due to potential volatility in the global securities market affecting non-operating income and uncertainties regarding the timing of IP licensing revenue in the second half of the year. Future growth strategies focus on a multi-platform approach and the global expansion of key mobile titles into markets such as Taiwan and China.

Financial Results for the Q3 of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2025

Koei Tecmo’s financial performance through the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2025 reflects a transitional period characterized by a 14.0% year-over-year decline in sales to ¥52,570 million and a 25.8% drop in operating profit. These results stem from a light release schedule for console titles and a reliance on existing mobile software. However, net profit rose 3.6% to ¥25,161 million, supported by disciplined cost management in advertising and outsourcing. The company maintains its full-year guidance of ¥90 billion in sales and ¥30 billion in operating profit, anticipating a significant recovery in the fourth quarter driven by a robust pipeline of more than five new titles, including Dynasty Warriors: Origins. The long-term strategy focuses on achieving a ¥40 billion operating profit target by establishing a multi-layered portfolio across console, PC, and mobile platforms. To secure a position among the top ten global digital entertainment companies, a dedicated AAA Studio has been formed to consistently produce large-scale hits, with two major AAA titles planned for the next three years. This expansion is supported by an aggressive recruitment drive to add 200 employees annually and the continuous refinement of the proprietary Katana Engine to ensure high-quality graphical standards across all genres. Operational efficiency is being bolstered through the integration of artificial intelligence for debugging, asset production, and game balancing. By subdividing development milestones and shifting to a bond-centric investment portfolio, the company maintains high financial stability and consistent non-operating income. These fiscal strengths support a commitment to shareholder returns, including a 50% dividend payout ratio, while funding strategic capital expenditures such as employee housing and potential office acquisitions to sustain future growth.
