Konami Group Corporation achieved record-breaking financial performance for the nine-month period ending December 31, 2024, characterized by significant revenue expansion and robust profitability. Total revenue climbed to ¥310,829 million, representing a 22.8% increase compared to the previous year. This growth was underpinned by a surge in operating profit to ¥86,700 million and a substantial rise in basic earnings per share, which grew from ¥328.23 to ¥465.56. The organization maintains a strong financial foundation, concluding the period with ¥285,694 million in cash and cash equivalents alongside total equity of ¥475,265 million.
The primary catalyst for this success is the Digital Entertainment segment, which generated ¥228,442 million in revenue, a 32% year-on-year increase. High-profile titles such as SILENT HILL 2 and eFootball™ served as the core drivers of this momentum. While the broader business faced minor margin pressures stemming from elevated energy and operational costs, the strength of the digital portfolio successfully offset these headwinds, ensuring overall fiscal health.
Reflecting confidence in sustained demand and operational efficiency, the company has revised its full-year earnings forecast upward. Projections now anticipate total annual revenue reaching ¥412,000 million, representing a 14.3% increase, with business profit expected to rise by 22.4%. These results underscore the effectiveness of the current digital-first strategy and suggest a positive trajectory for the remainder of the fiscal year as the company leverages its established intellectual property to capture broader market share.
