Earnings Release for the Three-Month Period Ended June 2010: Supplementary Information

This supplementary information provides a financial overview and strategic outlook for Nintendo Co., Ltd. for the three-month period ending June 2010. The primary objective is to detail the company’s fiscal performance, currency exposure, and upcoming product pipeline across global markets, including Japan, the United States, and Europe.

Financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2011 indicate a period of contraction compared to the previous year. Net sales fell to 188.6 billion yen, down from 253.5 billion yen in the same period of 2009. Operating income also declined to 23.3 billion yen, reflecting a lower operating income ratio of 12.4%. The company reported a net loss of 25.2 billion yen, largely attributed to significant non-operating expenses, specifically 70.6 billion yen in foreign exchange losses resulting from the appreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar and the Euro.

Despite these financial headwinds, the company maintained a robust software portfolio. Key titles such as Super Mario Galaxy 2 and various entries in the Pokémon and Wii Sports franchises continued to drive unit sales. The document also outlines an extensive product roadmap for the remainder of the 2010 calendar year and into 2011, highlighting the upcoming launch of the Nintendo 3DS hardware and a diverse lineup of first-party and third-party software titles across the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms. These disclosures emphasize the company's reliance on global software sales and the ongoing management of foreign exchange risks as critical factors in its broader corporate strategy.
