See it on page 1Akatsuki Inc. reported its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2025, highlighting a period of strategic "selection and concentration" that led to a significant increase in profitability. While total annual sales remained relatively flat at ¥23.65 billion, a 1% decrease year-over-year, consolidated operating profit jumped 46% to ¥3.91 billion. This growth was driven by the stabilization of the core Games segment and the successful transition of the Comics and IP Solutions divisions into profitable entities.
The Games segment, which accounts for the vast majority of revenue, generated ¥21.24 billion in sales. Performance was bolstered by the 10th anniversary of Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, which achieved record-high overseas sales and operating profit. These gains effectively offset revenue losses from withdrawn titles and increased research and development spending for upcoming projects like TRIBE NINE and Kaiju No. 8 The Game. Meanwhile, the Comics segment saw a 50% surge in annual sales to ¥1.14 billion, achieving full-year profitability due to strong external sales of original works, successful media dramatizations, and a strategic partnership with NTT Docomo for the MANGA MIRAI service in the United States.
Geographically, the results reflect a strong emphasis on global expansion, particularly through simultaneous worldwide game campaigns and international comic distribution. Financial data indicates a robust balance sheet with ¥33.3 billion in cash and total assets of ¥54.6 billion. The company also benefited from a substantial increase in gains from the sale of investment securities, which rose over 700% to ¥2.16 billion. Overall, the fiscal year concluded with a net income of ¥1.65 billion, representing a 28% increase over the previous year, supported by improved operational efficiency across all business pillars.
