Square Enix Group reported a 63.7% surge in profit attributable to owners to ¥24.4 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, despite an 8.9% decline in net sales to ¥324.5 billion.
Operating income for the Digital Entertainment segment rose 33% to ¥33.9 billion, driven by reduced amortization and advertising costs in the HD Game sub-segment and the launch of 'FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail' in the MMO sub-segment.
Digital Entertainment net sales fell 16.8% to ¥206.5 billion, impacted by lower sales from new HD titles and weaker performance in the Games for Smart Devices/PC Browser category.
The Amusement segment saw a 15.7% increase in sales to ¥71.2 billion, contributing to an overall corporate strategy focused on improved profitability margins through cost control.
Publication segment performance declined, with sales dipping 1.1% to ¥30.8 billion and operating income falling 8.4%, largely due to a decline in 'The Apothecary Diaries' following its anime adaptation.
Merchandising sales grew 0.8% to ¥19.1 billion, with operating income rising 7.2% to ¥6.1 billion, supported by strong performance from new IP-based merchandise.
