MarvelousAQL Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012 Financial Results

MarvelousAQL’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, marked a transformative period for the company, defined by its strategic merger with AQ Interactive Inc. and Liveware Inc. The primary objective of this consolidation was to establish a comprehensive entertainment entity capable of operating across a multi-content, multi-use, and multi-device business model. By integrating these entities, the company aimed to leverage a broader intellectual property library and an expanded customer base to drive growth in a highly competitive market.

Financial performance for the fiscal year reflected the impact of this merger, with consolidated net sales reaching 10,423 million yen, operating income at 1,044 million yen, and ordinary income at 1,025 million yen. Net income for the period was significantly bolstered to 3,533 million yen, largely due to the booking of deferred tax assets and a gain on negative goodwill associated with the corporate integration. The company’s operations were segmented into three core pillars: the Online Game Business, the Consumer Game Business, and the Audio & Visual Business. Each segment contributed to earnings through successful titles such as "Browser Sangokushi," "Harvest Moon 3D," and various stage productions and video releases.

Looking toward the future, the company has adopted a global strategy focused on expanding its user base to a target of 10 million individuals. Management intends to prioritize the creation and development of powerful intellectual property while utilizing the synergies gained from the merger to penetrate new platforms and international markets. Projections for the upcoming fiscal year indicate continued growth, with forecasted net sales of 18,500 million yen and operating income of 2,200 million yen, signaling a commitment to scaling its influence as a global content provider.
