Summary

Financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 reveal a complex performance landscape characterized by robust revenue generation offset by substantial extraordinary losses. Consolidated sales reached 134.1 billion yen for the quarter, driven primarily by the Entertainment Contents segment. However, the company recorded a net loss of 19.5 billion yen due to 31.8 billion yen in extraordinary charges. These financial pressures necessitated a revision of the full-year forecast, which now anticipates higher overall sales of 490.0 billion yen but a projected net loss of 13.0 billion yen for the fiscal year. The consumer games division remains a cornerstone of the business, though it faces tempered expectations for the remainder of the year. While third-quarter sales were strong at 66.5 billion yen and full-game unit sales reached 8.69 million, the annual unit sales target was lowered from 30.0 million to 26.5 million. This adjustment stems largely from a decline in anticipated repeat sales of older titles. Key intellectual properties continue to demonstrate market resonance, with the Sonic series leading performance at 4.0 million units year-to-date, followed by the Total War, Like a Dragon, and Persona franchises, which each contributed between 2.4 million and 3.2 million units. In the amusement and resort sectors, the Pachislot and Pachinko segments show signs of recovery despite regulatory and competitive challenges. While Pachislot approval rates remain low and utilization shares have dipped to 14.5%, the Pachinko segment saw an improved utilization share of 10.0%, ranking the company third in the market. Simultaneously, the Paradise Segasammy casino resort reported growth, hosting 321,000 users year-to-date and generating a cumulative operating profit of 86.2 billion KRW. These diverse results highlight a period of strategic recalibration as the company manages high-performing legacy IPs against broader structural financial headwinds.

Q3 for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 Results Presentation

Sega Sammy’s performance through the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 is characterized by a significant divergence between robust domestic gaming machine operations and substantial financial setbacks in the global consumer and mobile segments. While the Pachislot and Pachinko division exceeded expectations—driven by high-volume unit sales of titles like Smart Pachislot Tokyo Revengers—the broader group faces a projected net loss of 13.0 billion yen for the fiscal year. This downturn is primarily the result of 46.3 billion yen in extraordinary impairment losses related to the acquisitions of Rovio and Stakelogic, the latter of which was impacted by regulatory shifts in the Netherlands. The Entertainment Contents Business struggled with underperforming new full game launches and a deteriorating user acquisition environment for mobile titles, most notably Sonic Rumble. Consequently, management has pivoted from aggressive expansion to a period of consolidation, suspending large-scale M&A activities in favor of a 20.0 billion yen share buyback program. To restore profitability within the mobile sector, the strategy now emphasizes a "regrowth phase" for Rovio, leveraging AI-driven marketing efficiencies and a transmedia approach that includes major theatrical releases for the Angry Birds and Sonic franchises scheduled through 2027. Despite current headwinds, the medium-term outlook relies on a robust multi-platform pipeline and the expansion of the Gaming Business, which includes record-high performance at Paradise SegaSammy fueled by Japanese VIP demand. Upcoming releases for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the continued rollout of high-profile intellectual properties like Yakuza and Persona are intended to stabilize the consumer area. Geographically, the company remains focused on global markets while maintaining strict compliance with international gaming regulations in jurisdictions such as Nevada, which govern both corporate operations and shareholder requirements.

Q1 for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2025 Results Presentation

Sega Sammy Holdings reported a steady start to the fiscal year ending March 2025, characterized by strategic portfolio restructuring and targeted expansion into the online gaming market. For the first quarter, the company recorded sales of 104.7 billion yen and an operating income of 19.3 billion yen. While these figures represent a slight year-over-year decline in top-line revenue, profit attributable to owners of the parent rose significantly to 24.5 billion yen. This increase was primarily driven by an extraordinary income of 8.4 billion yen following the transfer of Phoenix Resort shares to Fortress Investment Group, a move intended to leverage specialized expertise in the hospitality sector while retaining a 20% voting interest. The Entertainment Contents segment remains the primary growth engine, generating 72.5 billion yen in sales during the quarter. Performance was bolstered by favorable foreign exchange impacts and the integration of Rovio. Although full-game unit sales reached 5.86 million units—surpassing the previous year—the company expects its most significant revenue contributions to occur from the third quarter onward with the launch of major titles such as Sonic X Shadow Generations and Metaphor: ReFantazio. In the Pachislot and Pachinko segment, the company maintained a steady pace with 28.8 billion yen in sales, preparing for the second-quarter launch of the featured smart pachinko title, e Hokuto No Ken 10. Geographically, the company is aggressively targeting the North American market. This is evidenced by the July 2024 announcement to acquire Stakelogic B.V. for an enterprise value of €130 million. This acquisition, combined with the previous GAN agreement, aims to establish a comprehensive B2B online gaming platform. Additionally, the Gaming segment saw strong U.S. performance from the Railroad Riches slot series. Looking ahead, Sega Sammy has outlined a three-year capital allocation plan through FY2027, earmarking over 120 billion yen for R&D and 100 billion yen for strategic investments, while maintaining a shareholder return policy of at least a 3% DOE or a 50% total return ratio.

Report

Sega Sammy Holdings Integrated Report 2025

Sega Sammy Holdings’ 2025 Integrated Report details a transformative strategic shift aimed at establishing a more balanced and resilient business portfolio. Historically reliant on the volatile Pachislot & Pachinko market, the Group is transitioning to a three-pillar structure: Entertainment Contents, Pachislot & Pachinko, and a newly formed Gaming Business. This "Welcome to the Next Level!" plan focuses on global expansion and transmedia integration to drive long-term growth through 2030. The Entertainment Contents segment remains the primary revenue driver, contributing ¥321.5 billion of the Group’s ¥428.9 billion in FY2025 net sales. This growth is fueled by a "mille-feuille" revenue model that leverages major intellectual properties like *Sonic the Hedgehog*, *Persona*, and *Like a Dragon* across games, film, and licensing. Meanwhile, the Pachislot & Pachinko segment is being repositioned as a stable cash generator. To combat a shrinking domestic market, the Group is introducing innovative modular cabinet systems to reduce costs for operators and improve player engagement. The most significant strategic development is the establishment of the Gaming Business as a third pillar, targeting the North American iGaming and B2B casino solutions markets. This expansion is underpinned by the major acquisitions of Rovio, GAN, and Stakelogic, totaling over ¥130 billion, alongside the divestment of non-core assets like the Phoenix Seagaia Resort. Financially, the Group reported a robust FY2025 performance with a profit of ¥45.1 billion and an ROE of 12.2%. Looking ahead, the Group targets a cumulative adjusted EBITDA of over ¥230 billion by FY2027, supported by a commitment to shareholder returns including a 50% total return ratio and a 3% dividend on equity. Sustainability and governance also remain central, with goals for carbon neutrality by 2050 and enhanced diversity within its global workforce.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025

Sega Sammy Holdings experienced a period of financial transition during the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, characterized by modest revenue growth alongside significant bottom-line volatility. Net sales increased by 4.0% to ¥335.2 billion, supported by the successful execution of the Sonic the Hedgehog transmedia strategy and record profits from the Paradise City integrated resort in South Korea. However, the company recorded a net loss of ¥16.9 billion, a sharp reversal from the prior year’s profitability. This downturn was primarily driven by a ¥31.4 billion impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Rovio Entertainment, which contributed to a 54.6% decline in operating income. Performance across core business segments remained mixed as the company integrated recent acquisitions. While the Gaming segment saw a 441.6% surge in third-party sales following the consolidation of Stakelogic and GAN, it ultimately recorded an ordinary loss. Meanwhile, ordinary income fell by 34.3% in the Entertainment Contents division and 46% in the Pachislot and Pachinko segment. These operational headwinds, combined with dividend payments and treasury stock acquisitions, led to a reduction in total net assets to ¥360.6 billion. In response to these financial pressures and the impact of the Rovio impairment, a strategic shift in capital allocation has been implemented. The company has formally suspended large-scale M&A activities to prioritize shareholder returns and balance sheet stability. This pivot includes a ¥20 billion treasury stock buyback program scheduled between February and July 2026, intended to acquire and retire up to 5.71% of outstanding shares. By reallocating capital previously reserved for aggressive growth investments, the focus has moved toward optimizing existing assets and enhancing shareholder value through disciplined financial management.

Consolidated Results Supplementary Information for Q3 of FYE March 2026

Akatsuki Inc. reported substantial year-over-year growth in sales and profitability for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026. Consolidated sales for the quarter reached ¥6,581 million, a 79% increase compared to the same period in the previous year, while operating profit rose to ¥1,338 million, reversing a loss from the prior year. This financial improvement was driven by the successful release of Kaiju No. 8 The Game, the continued performance of Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, and the strategic consolidation of four acquired companies. The Games & Comics segment remains the primary revenue driver, contributing ¥5,225 million in quarterly sales. Profitability in this sector improved significantly due to a rigorous business portfolio review and enhanced operational efficiency for existing titles, which led to a large-scale reduction in expenses. Beyond gaming, the company expanded its scope through M&A activity, establishing a new AI / DX Solutions segment and bolstering the Entertainment & Lifestyle division. These new segments reflect the inclusion of acquired entities such as PAPABUBBLE, WOWs, Natee, and Akatsuki AI Technologies. Geographically, the company noted strong global performance for its legacy titles, specifically reaching top store rankings in five regions, including Japan and France. Financial data indicates a robust balance sheet with cash and equivalents totaling ¥33,266 million. The methodology for these results involves consolidated accounting of various subsidiaries and the use of Adjusted EBITDA to measure performance, which accounts for depreciation, amortization, and investment-related cash flows. Overall, the findings suggest a successful transition toward a more diversified and cost-efficient corporate structure.

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.
