Sega Sammy Fiscal Year Ending March 2022 Q3 Results Presentation

Sega Sammy achieved substantial year-over-year growth in sales and profits during the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2022. This financial momentum, bolstered by record gains from the divestment of investment securities and noncurrent assets, prompted an upward revision of the company’s full-year operating forecasts. The performance underscores a successful period of operational stabilization and strategic execution across the firm’s primary business divisions.

The Consumer segment served as a primary growth engine, fueled by the successful launch of high-profile titles like Shin Megami Tensei V and the consistent expansion of free-to-play offerings such as Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!. Simultaneously, the Pachislot and Pachinko business returned to profitability following rigorous structural reforms and improved supply chain management, which allowed for an increase in projected unit sales. While these segments thrived, the Resort business continued to face significant headwinds. Ongoing international travel restrictions and pandemic-related limitations suppressed visitor numbers and casino revenue at PARADISE SEGASAMMY, though aggressive cost-containment measures successfully preserved positive EBITDA despite the downturn.

Looking toward the future, the company anticipates a protracted recovery for its resort operations while shifting focus toward enhanced shareholder value. A newly implemented capital allocation policy establishes a commitment to a minimum 3% Dividend on Equity ratio and a total return ratio of at least 50%. By balancing the robust performance of its digital and gaming content segments against the challenges of the hospitality sector, the organization maintains a stable outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.
