Summary

Sammy Corporation experienced a period of contraction during the six months ending September 30, 2002, as consolidated net sales fell to 84,068 million yen, a 9.9 percent decline compared to the previous year. Operating income also saw a significant reduction of 20.4 percent to 27,540 million yen, while net income dropped by 35.4 percent to 10,836 million yen. Despite these year-over-year decreases, the financial results remained consistent with internal forecasts, and the company maintained a stable financial foundation characterized by an equity ratio of 50.2 percent and 30,217 million yen in cash and cash equivalents.

The company’s operations remain heavily concentrated within the Japanese market, where over 90 percent of sales and assets are derived. The pachinko and pachislot segment continues to serve as the primary revenue driver, supported by a corporate structure comprising 16 subsidiaries and one affiliate. Strategic initiatives during this period included the divestiture of the subsidiary Spike Co., Ltd. and a continued commitment to overseas research and development. Management remains focused on long-term profitability, specifically targeting a return on equity exceeding 30 percent.

Financial management remains conservative, with the use of derivative financial instruments restricted exclusively to hedging interest rate risks. The company has also successfully integrated updated accounting standards regarding treasury stock and earned surplus into its financial reporting. While navigating challenges such as ongoing patent litigation and a competitive domestic landscape, the organization continues to prioritize the expansion of its entertainment segments and the preservation of its core market share in the gaming sector.
