Summary

This financial report details Capcom’s consolidated performance for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The findings indicate significant year-on-year growth in both revenue and profit across all business segments, driven primarily by the sustained performance of catalog titles and strong results in the amusement equipment division. Net sales reached 115.3 billion yen, a 30% increase over the previous year, while operating profit rose 75% to 54.3 billion yen. These results place the company on a favorable trajectory to meet its full-year targets of 190 billion yen in net sales and 730 billion yen in operating profit. The Digital Contents segment remains the primary driver of growth, with unit sales reaching a record 9-month high of 34.6 million units. Catalog titles accounted for 96.4% of these sales, underscoring the long-term value of core franchises such as Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter. Notably, Monster Hunter Wilds surpassed 11 million cumulative units, while Resident Evil 4 and Street Fighter 6 continued to show steady growth. Digital sales now represent 94.1% of total units, with PC platforms alone accounting for over 55% of the volume. Geographically, overseas markets dominate the business, representing nearly 90% of total unit sales. Beyond software, the Arcade Operations and Amusement Equipments segments reported double-digit growth. Arcade sales rose 12% following the opening of new stores and the expansion of specialty formats, while Amusement Equipments saw a 74% surge in net sales due to the strong performance of smart slot titles like Shin Onimusha 3. The company’s strategic outlook remains focused on leveraging its leading brands through upcoming releases such as Resident Evil Requiem and Monster Hunter Stories 3, alongside cross-media expansions including a new Devil May Cry anime and a live-action Street Fighter film.

Net sales reached 115,315 million yen, a 29.8% increase year-on-year, while operating profit surged 75.1% to 54,302 million yen.

The Digital Contents business remained the primary earnings driver, with unit sales increasing to 34.64 million units across 238 countries and regions.

Capcom 1Q FY2025 Financial Results

Capcom’s strategic roadmap for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 emphasizes a long-term transition into a global digital content powerhouse. The primary objective is to achieve 100 million units in annual game software sales by expanding brand penetration across 227 countries and regions. This goal is supported by a consistent financial performance marked by 12 consecutive years of operating profit growth and eight consecutive years of record-high profits. Central to this success is a "Single Content Multiple Usage" strategy, which leverages world-class intellectual property like *Resident Evil* and *Monster Hunter* across various media, including film, eSports, and location-based entertainment, to convert a potential global audience of 1.5 billion PC and console users into active fans. The company’s financial health is characterized by high-margin digital catalog sales, which account for over 70% of annual units, and a robust operating margin of 52.1% within its core Digital Contents business. To sustain a target of 10% annual operating profit growth, Capcom is aggressively investing in human capital and infrastructure. This includes increasing the development workforce to over 2,800 personnel, raising starting salaries for new graduates to 300,000 yen, and expanding R&D facilities. Technological innovation remains a cornerstone of this growth, driven by the proprietary RE ENGINE and the development of the next-generation REX Engine to ensure high-quality, multi-platform releases. Geographically, the strategy focuses on the "Global South"—including India, Brazil, and Southeast Asia—where digital distribution and PC platform expansion offer significant growth opportunities. Corporate governance has been further strengthened through a diverse board of directors, a performance-linked remuneration system tied to shareholder value, and a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050. With a market capitalization exceeding 2 trillion yen and a disciplined shareholder return policy, the focus remains on creating a sustainable, virtuous cycle of high-quality content creation and global market expansion.

Q3 for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 Results Presentation

Sega Sammy’s performance through the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 is characterized by a significant divergence between robust domestic gaming machine operations and substantial financial setbacks in the global consumer and mobile segments. While the Pachislot and Pachinko division exceeded expectations—driven by high-volume unit sales of titles like Smart Pachislot Tokyo Revengers—the broader group faces a projected net loss of 13.0 billion yen for the fiscal year. This downturn is primarily the result of 46.3 billion yen in extraordinary impairment losses related to the acquisitions of Rovio and Stakelogic, the latter of which was impacted by regulatory shifts in the Netherlands. The Entertainment Contents Business struggled with underperforming new full game launches and a deteriorating user acquisition environment for mobile titles, most notably Sonic Rumble. Consequently, management has pivoted from aggressive expansion to a period of consolidation, suspending large-scale M&A activities in favor of a 20.0 billion yen share buyback program. To restore profitability within the mobile sector, the strategy now emphasizes a "regrowth phase" for Rovio, leveraging AI-driven marketing efficiencies and a transmedia approach that includes major theatrical releases for the Angry Birds and Sonic franchises scheduled through 2027. Despite current headwinds, the medium-term outlook relies on a robust multi-platform pipeline and the expansion of the Gaming Business, which includes record-high performance at Paradise SegaSammy fueled by Japanese VIP demand. Upcoming releases for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the continued rollout of high-profile intellectual properties like Yakuza and Persona are intended to stabilize the consumer area. Geographically, the company remains focused on global markets while maintaining strict compliance with international gaming regulations in jurisdictions such as Nevada, which govern both corporate operations and shareholder requirements.

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2023

Koei Tecmo Holdings presented its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2023, revealing a period of transition characterized by a year-over-year decline in sales and profits. Net sales reached 49.4 billion yen, a 10.6% decrease from the previous year, while net profit fell 52.4% to 13.5 billion yen. This downturn is attributed primarily to a high baseline in the prior year driven by major packaged game releases and significant non-operating losses on the valuation of derivatives caused by a volatile financial environment. The entertainment segment remains the primary driver of the business, contributing 46.3 billion yen in sales. While console software sales saw a decline in physical package revenue, digital sales remained resilient, accounting for 78.8% of the entertainment segment's total sales. Geographically, the company maintains a balanced profile, with 51.6% of revenue generated in Japan and 48.4% from overseas markets, particularly in Asia and North America. Despite the dip in revenue, total unit sales actually increased by 4.9% to 5.98 million units, bolstered by strong digital downloads. Looking ahead, the company revised its full-year earnings forecast, raising its operating profit target to 34 billion yen while lowering ordinary and net profit expectations due to the aforementioned non-operating expenses. Growth strategy for the fourth quarter relies on a robust pipeline of global releases, including high-profile titles such as Wild Hearts, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and Atelier Ryza 3. Additionally, the mobile sector showed momentum with the successful launch of Nobunaga’s Ambition: Ha-do and continued regional expansion of existing smartphone IPs. To support this long-term growth, the company increased its total headcount by 15.7% to 2,400 employees.

Results Briefing Materials: Fiscal Year Ending March 2026, Third Quarter

Marvelous Inc. reports a significant increase in financial performance for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 2026. Net sales reached 29,121 million yen, a 40.5% year-on-year increase, while ordinary profit grew 28.6% to 2,129 million yen. This growth was primarily driven by the Digital Contents and Amusement segments, alongside foreign exchange gains that bolstered the bottom line. The Digital Contents business saw revenue jump 69.2% following the successful launches of core titles including Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar, and DAEMON X MACHINA TITANIC SCION. While high development costs for these new titles initially pressured margins, strong sales contributed to earnings ahead of schedule, significantly reducing cumulative operating losses in the segment. In the online space, the company launched Browser Sangokushi Ten, though it noted a slow initial start. The Amusement business remained a consistent profit driver, with revenue increasing 25.1% due to the continued popularity of Pokémon kids’ amusement machines, such as Pokémon FRIENDA and the overseas expansion of Pokémon MEZASTAR. Conversely, the Audio & Visual business experienced a revenue decline of 11.3% following the liquidation of unprofitable businesses, though segment profit rose sharply by 306.1% due to high-performing stage productions and secondary usage revenue from anime titles. Geographically, the company is focused on the Japanese, North American, European, and Asian markets across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC platforms. Despite exceeding year-to-date targets for certain profit metrics, the full-year forecast remains unchanged at 35,000 million yen in net sales and 2,000 million yen in operating profit, citing potential future uncertainties in the macroeconomic and industry environment.
