FY2025 Third Quarter Financial Highlights: Japan

The FY2025 third‑quarter financial highlights for Koei Tecmo Holdings detail a modest decline in core operating metrics while comprehensive income rises sharply. Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 fell 1.6% to ¥51,729 million from ¥52,570 million in the prior year. Operating profit slipped 3.3% to ¥14,571 million, and ordinary profit decreased 6.2% to ¥31,099 million. Despite these contractions, comprehensive income surged 52.0% year‑on‑year to ¥56,359 million, driven by significant gains in non‑operating items such as interest income and foreign exchange gains. Basic earnings per share declined slightly to ¥73.84 from ¥79.67, reflecting a higher weighted‑average share count due to treasury share disposals and secondary offerings.

Total assets expanded from ¥209,828 million at March 31, 2025 to ¥311,492 million by December 31, 2025, largely through increases in investment securities and property, plant, and equipment. Net assets rose to ¥258,716 million, with the equity‑to‑asset ratio improving to 82.8% from 89.9%. Treasury shares reduced dramatically, lowering the average number of outstanding shares to 322 million from 315 million.

Dividend policy remains unchanged, with a forecast of ¥43.00 per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, and no revisions to cash dividend forecasts. The report covers Japan‑based operations for FY 2025, presenting consolidated quarterly financial statements without significant changes in consolidation scope or accounting policies.
