Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015: Nintendo Co., Ltd.

Nintendo achieved a significant financial turnaround during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, returning to profitability with an operating income of 24.7 billion yen and a net income of 41.8 billion yen. This recovery from the previous year’s operating loss was primarily driven by robust software sales for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U platforms, bolstered by favorable foreign exchange gains as the U.S. dollar strengthened against the yen. While hardware sales for the 3DS and legacy Wii systems experienced a decline, the Wii U platform demonstrated growth in both hardware and software performance, providing a stable foundation for the company’s fiscal stabilization.

The organization is currently executing a strategic pivot aimed at long-term growth through the diversification of its business model. Central to this transition is the expansion of intellectual property value beyond traditional gaming hardware, including the introduction of the amiibo platform and a new Quality of Life initiative. Furthermore, a strategic capital and business alliance with DeNA marks a formal entry into the smart device gaming market, signaling a shift toward mobile integration.

Looking toward the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, the company maintains a positive outlook, anticipating continued momentum through a steady pipeline of new software releases and the scaling of its smart device applications. By leveraging its established gaming franchises across new digital and physical channels, the company aims to sustain its return to profitability and broaden its reach within the global interactive entertainment industry. This comprehensive approach reflects a concerted effort to modernize its business structure while capitalizing on its core creative assets.
