Earnings Release for the Three-Month Period Ended June 2013: Supplementary Information

This supplementary information provides a financial and operational overview of Nintendo Co., Ltd. for the three-month period ending June 30, 2013. The primary purpose of the report is to detail the company’s consolidated financial performance, foreign currency exposure, and product release pipeline. The data indicates a transition toward profitability, with the company reporting net sales of 81.5 billion yen and a net income of 8.6 billion yen for the quarter, marking a recovery from the net losses observed in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Financial results were significantly influenced by foreign exchange fluctuations. The report highlights that non-operating income reached 20.3 billion yen, largely driven by 16.9 billion yen in foreign exchange gains resulting from the depreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar and the euro. While net sales saw a slight year-over-year decline, the gross profit ratio improved significantly to 44.6%, up from 29.3% in the prior year’s first quarter, reflecting shifts in cost structures and product mix.

Operational highlights focus on the Nintendo 3DS platform, which saw strong performance from key titles such as Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and Tomodachi Collection, all of which achieved million-seller status during the quarter. The document also outlines an extensive software release schedule for the remainder of 2013 and into 2014 across both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U platforms. This pipeline includes both first-party titles and a robust selection of third-party software from publishers such as Capcom, SEGA, Ubisoft, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, intended to support hardware adoption and software engagement across global markets.
