Financial Results for the First Quarter: Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

Koei Tecmo Holdings reported first‑quarter results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, showing a 15.9 % decline in sales to ¥17.6 billion and a 55.5 % drop in net profit to ¥13.6 billion compared with the same period a year earlier. Operating profit fell 37.6 % to ¥5.7 billion, while ordinary profit decreased 53.1 % to ¥18.7 billion. The decline is attributed mainly to weaker performance in the online and mobile entertainment segment, where sales dropped ¥2.8 billion; personnel costs rose, but variable costs fell due to lower sales volumes. Segment analysis reveals the entertainment division contributed ¥16.6 billion in sales, down 18 % from year‑ago, with operating profit falling ¥2.0 billion. The amusement segment benefited from licensing income and new facility openings, adding ¥297 million in sales and ¥88 million in operating profit. Real‑estate revenue rose modestly from the KT Zepp Yokohama venue, while the “Others” segment recorded a loss of ¥310 million. Forecasts for FY25 project sales growth to ¥92.0 billion, an increase of 10.6 % from FY24, with operating profit expected at ¥31.0 billion (‑3.5 % from FY24). Net profit is projected at ¥27.0 billion, a 28.2 % decline from FY24, reflecting higher development and personnel costs anticipated in the second half of the year. Dividend per share is forecast at ¥43, down 28 % from FY24. The company maintains a Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market listing strategy, targeting a 35 % tradable‑share ratio by March 2026. Growth investment plans focus on human capital, with a projected 10 % annual increase in personnel costs and ¥25 billion allocated for new office space. M&A activity remains opportunistic, centered on intellectual‑property synergies. Geographically, the firm prioritizes expansion in North America, Europe, and China for console/PC titles, while online/mobile growth targets Japan, China, and surrounding regions with a long‑term global outlook. The pipeline for the fourth medium‑term management plan includes several major releases, such as “NIOH 3” and “NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition,” slated for early 2025 and mid‑2025 respectively.
