Results Presentation: Q1 Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

SEGA Sammy achieved a strong start to the fiscal year ending March 2027, with consolidated sales reaching 95.0 billion yen and operating income rising to 2.3 billion yen. These results, which exceeded initial expectations, were primarily driven by the robust performance of the Pachislot and Pachinko division. Key hardware releases, such as the Smart Pachislot BIG DREAM THE GOLDEN PUSHER, moved 10,400 units, while the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress series maintained momentum with 40,900 cumulative units sold. This segment remains a cornerstone of the company’s current financial stability, with a clear strategy to sustain growth through upcoming titles like Lycoris Recoil and The Seven Deadly Sins 3.

While the consumer gaming division is currently in a transitional phase, it is positioned for significant expansion starting in the third quarter. The company is actively rebuilding its growth foundations through structural reforms aimed at increasing operational efficiency and prioritizing research and development. This strategic pivot is supported by a high-profile pipeline of upcoming consumer titles, including Persona 6, Crazy Taxi: World Tour, and Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000. These releases are intended to serve as the primary catalysts for long-term value creation.

The company’s broader outlook remains focused on executing its medium-term plan across its global gaming, amusement, and casino segments. By balancing the immediate, high-margin contributions from its Pachislot and Pachinko business with a disciplined, long-term investment strategy in its consumer software portfolio, SEGA Sammy aims to solidify its market position. The current trajectory reflects a commitment to diversifying revenue streams while leveraging established intellectual property to drive future performance throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.
