Konami Group Annual Financial Report: Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026

The Konami Group achieved record-high financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, marking the third consecutive year of growth. Total consolidated revenue reached ¥493.68 billion, representing a 17.1% year-on-year increase, while net profit attributable to owners of the parent rose significantly to ¥100.01 billion from ¥74.69 billion in the previous period. This performance was primarily driven by the Digital Entertainment segment, which accounted for 75% of total revenue and saw a 37.5% increase in business profit, bolstered by successful titles such as the Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and Momotaro Dentetsu series, alongside the sustained performance of eFootball.

The company maintains a robust financial position with total equity of ¥564.55 billion and cash reserves of ¥327.6 billion. Strategic restructuring during the period included the establishment of Arcade Game as a standalone segment and the reclassification of pachinko and pachislot operations into the Others category. While the Gaming & Systems segment faced a 50.4% decline in business profit due to U.S. tariff impacts and costs associated with new cabinet launches, the group’s overall financial stability remains supported by disciplined risk management, including unused committed credit lines of ¥25 billion and a reduction in total financial liabilities.

Operational success is balanced against a complex risk landscape. Key audit matters centered on the intricacies of revenue recognition for online games and virtual items, while management identified significant external threats including cybersecurity vulnerabilities, intellectual property disputes, and global economic instability. Despite these challenges, the company continues to leverage standardized accounting methodologies for asset valuation and impairment, ensuring transparency in its reporting of intangible assets and deferred tax positions. With a solid foundation of retained earnings and consistent revenue growth, the group remains well-positioned to navigate shifting consumer preferences and the ongoing demand for specialized digital talent.
