Nintendo Earnings Release: Supplementary Information (June 2015)

This financial summary details Nintendo’s consolidated earnings for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2016, covering the period from April to June 2015. The primary objective is to provide transparency regarding the company’s financial performance, currency exposure, and product release pipeline. The data indicates a return to profitability, with net sales reaching 90.2 billion yen and an operating income of 1.1 billion yen, marking a significant improvement over the operating loss of 9.5 billion yen recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Key financial findings highlight a gross profit of 42.7 billion yen, representing a gross profit ratio of 47.3%. Ordinary income reached 14.3 billion yen, bolstered by 13.2 billion yen in non-operating income, much of which was attributed to favorable foreign exchange gains.
