Koei Tecmo reported H1 FY2026 sales of ¥35.2 billion and operating profit of ¥10.7 billion, exceeding initial forecasts but representing year-over-year declines of 11.2% and 25.2% respectively.
Net profit fell 15.7% to ¥13.5 billion, primarily due to a contraction in the online and mobile entertainment segment, though repeat sales of existing titles partially mitigated the impact of weaker new releases.
The company maintains a conservative full-year outlook for FY2025, projecting ¥92 billion in sales, ¥31 billion in operating profit, and ¥27 billion in net profit, with expectations for growth driven by Q3 and Q4 title launches.
Under the 'Creating a Foundation for Growth' medium-term plan, Koei Tecmo is targeting ¥100 billion in cumulative operating income over three years and a single-year profit goal of ¥40 billion.
Entertainment segment sales dropped 12% to ¥28.5 billion, while the amusement and real-estate units saw modest growth, and the 'Other' segment reported a ¥320 million loss due to venture-capital costs.
Corporate governance efforts reached a milestone in September 2025 with a treasury-share disposal that increased tradable shares to 37.3%, satisfying Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market criteria.
Strategic growth initiatives focus on multi-platform releases, global marketing expansion, and leveraging the Atelier series IP for increased licensing and merchandise revenue.
