Earnings Results: Q3 Fiscal Year Ending March 2026
KADOKAWA's results for the first nine months of fiscal year ending March 2026 (April–December 2025) show a pronounced profit decline despite broadly stable sales.
- For the first three quarters of fiscal year ending March 2026 (April-December), overall sales decreased by 1.7%, operating profit by 59.7%, ordinary profit by 47.1%, and net profit by 70.0% compared to the previous year, largely due to declines in publishing/IP creation, anime/live-action, and games.
- The Publishing/IP Creation segment's operating profit decreased by 90.2% year-over-year, primarily due to a change in revenue recognition timing for electronic books (approx. -2 billion JPY), reduced marginal profit from smaller per-title sales despite increased new IP, and higher personnel and investment costs.
- The Anime/Live-Action segment experienced a 16.6% decrease in sales and a significant drop in operating profit year-over-year, mainly because the previous year benefited from major anime titles and extensive secondary usage of live-action films, which were not replicated this period.

Earnings Results: FY2026 Q3
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, the company experienced a significant consolidated financial downturn, with revenue decreasing by 1.7% and operating profit plummeting by 84.1% year-over-year.
- Kadokawa reported a 59.7% drop in operating profit and a decline in consolidated revenue to 202.9 billion yen for Q3 FY2026, driven by publishing margin compression and difficult year-on-year comparisons in gaming.
- The gaming division is pivoting toward next-generation hardware, with development underway for 'Elden Ring Tarnished Edition' and a Nintendo-exclusive title, 'The Duskbloods', for the successor to the Nintendo Switch.
- Gaming earnings have normalized following the massive success of 'Elden Ring' in the prior year, though the segment still generated 2.5 million units in repeat sales and DLC volume.

Kadokawa Earnings Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025
Kadokawa's fiscal year ended March 2025 showed top-line growth undercut by a major cyberattack.
- Kadokawa reported net sales of 277.9 billion JPY for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, a 7.7% increase year-on-year, though operating profit declined 9.8% to 16.7 billion JPY.
- The Publication/IP Creation segment experienced a 57.2% year-on-year decline in operating profit, primarily due to the absence of major hit titles compared to the previous fiscal year and increased advertising and logistics costs.
- The 'Others' segment saw a 11.9% decline in full-year net sales to 17.9 billion JPY, impacted by a withdrawal from certain product sales and a cyberattack that affected inter-segment transactions.
