Marvelous Inc. has raised its FY2025-26 full-year profit forecasts, with ordinary profit projected to rise 40% to 2,800 million yen and net profit attributable to owners increasing 35.7% to 1,900 million yen.
02
Full-year net sales are now expected to reach 37,900 million yen (an 8.3% increase) and operating profit is projected at 2,200 million yen (a 10% increase).
03
Growth is driven by strong performance in the Digital Content Business, specifically from 'Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma 2025' and 'STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar,' alongside gains in Asian amusement markets and TV anime licensing.
04
The company will record an 811 million yen operating loss for the smartphone game 'Browser Sangokushi Ten,' released in October 2025, due to development cost write-offs and asset recoverability issues.
05
A North American amusement project will incur a combined 309 million yen loss, consisting of an 11 million yen operating loss and a 298 million yen extraordinary loss related to inventory and fixed-asset impairments.
06
Despite the mixed performance of specific titles, the company maintains its year-end dividend forecast of 12 yen per share.
07
The upward earnings revisions were further supported by effective internal cost-control measures and favorable foreign-exchange gains.
