Nacon Announces the Temporary Suspension of Trading in its Shares on Euronext Paris

Nacon, a video‑game publishing and peripherals company listed on Euronext Paris (ISIN FR0013482791), announced on 20 February 2026 that it had requested a temporary suspension of trading in its shares. The move follows the company’s majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive (BBI), declaring on 17 February that it could not meet a €43 million partial bond repayment to BBI holders. The liquidity shortfall has forced Nacon to pursue an urgent financial restructuring with creditors, potentially under commercial court supervision. Consequently, the company also suspended its liquidity contract for Nacon shares and will keep trading halted until further notice is issued, likely within the coming days. Nacon’s financial highlights for 2024/25 show revenue of €167.9 million and an operating profit of €1.1 million, reflecting its strategy to consolidate 16 development studios and a premium peripherals division under the Bigben group umbrella. The firm employs over 1,000 staff across 25 subsidiaries and operates a distribution network covering 100 countries. The announcement underscores the immediate impact of BBI’s liquidity crisis on Nacon’s operations and signals a potential restructuring path to preserve business continuity.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of FY2019

The second‑quarter fiscal 2019 results show net sales of ¥17.7 billion, operating income of ¥1.0 billion and EBITDA of ¥1.2 billion, aligning closely with forecasts after adjusting for a ¥160 million variable‑cost revision that had been misrecorded in the prior quarter. Operating margin stands at 5.4 %. Variable costs fell to ¥7.27 billion, aided by a ¥400 million reduction in advertising spend and declining commission fees; fixed costs rose by ¥430 million due to increased outsourcing for full‑scale development investment, bringing total costs to ¥16.76 billion. Geographically, the company expanded overseas distribution of its flagship titles—DanMachi and SINoALICE—to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and North America, with another first‑party IP, Another Eden, slated for global self‑distribution. Multi‑platform releases included Fishing Star on Nintendo Switch and a new VTuber livestreaming app, REALITY Avatar. The company’s strategy emphasizes nurturing first‑party IPs to improve long‑term profitability, while maintaining third‑party titles and leveraging self‑distribution where possible. For the third quarter, net sales are projected between ¥16.5 and ¥17.5 billion with operating income ranging from ¥300 to ¥800 million, reflecting continued investment in new titles and the expected impact of overseas expansion. The balance sheet remains solid, with fixed assets at ¥17 billion and investment securities valued at approximately ¥25 billion, including venture‑capital holdings. Overall, the company maintains confidence in its financial base while pursuing aggressive international growth and IP development.

Summary of Main Q&A: FY2018 Second Quarter GREE Results Briefing

The briefing clarified GREE’s strategic shift toward console gaming while maintaining its mobile‑centric foundation. The company announced that “Fishing Star,” its first Nintendo Switch title, will be sold as a single‑purchase download without in‑game microtransactions, leveraging the console’s unique features to deliver a classic fishing experience. GREE emphasized its intent to build a multiplatform, multiregional development system that supports both mobile and console releases for Japanese and overseas markets, aiming to broaden its audience base. Progress on international titles was described as steady, with ongoing partner selection for overseas distribution of games such as “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon: Memoria Freeze.” Exact launch dates remain undetermined as the company evaluates optimal release strategies. GREE also addressed concerns about a slowed release cadence, noting that while operational focus on existing hits remains strong, the company continues to pursue new projects, as illustrated by its development pipeline figures. Regarding monetization models, GREE stated that decisions on free‑to‑play console titles with in‑game purchases will be made on a case‑by‑case basis, reflecting each title’s characteristics. Cost control is highlighted by the company’s avoidance of large‑scale first‑time console projects, thereby limiting development expenses. Advertising and media investments are maintained at a consistent level across the first two quarters, with future spending tied to expected returns. Operational improvements were cited for key mobile titles, such as the addition of new scenarios in “Another Eden: The Cat Who Goes Beyond Time,” demonstrating a system that enables rapid content deployment to meet customer demand.

Online & Mobile sales fell 16.6 % to ¥2,365 million; operating income from this segment dropped 52.9 % to ¥247 million, partly due to the relocation of CWS Brains from Amusement Facilities to Online & Mobile in FY2011.

Summary of Main Supplementary Explanations Questions and Answers: FY2022 Third Quarter GREE Results Briefing

The briefing clarifies GREE’s operational status and financial outlook for FY2022 third quarter, focusing on game releases, overseas distribution, user acquisition, and investment performance. Heaven Burns Red is positioned as a long‑term growth engine; the company plans to add content and implement creative training cycles, leveraging experience from titles like Another Eden. Echoes of Mana, launched April 27, 2022, has already met key performance indicators and will receive ongoing promotional support. Simultaneous global releases of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories and Echoes of Mana have performed strongly overseas, prompting consideration of further international launches for other titles. User acquisition and engagement for the mobile title REALITY have improved through sustained promotional activities in Japan and abroad, with notable success in North America via targeted events and functional enhancements. Financially, the company experienced a cumulative loss for the third quarter; this is attributed to a decline in the Investment and Incubation Business relative to FY2021, despite steady growth in Internet and Entertainment operations driven by new hit titles. The Investment segment’s volatility over short periods is noted as a contributing factor. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, GREE projects operating income in the Internet and Entertainment Business between ¥2.5 billion and just under ¥3.0 billion, assuming continued strong sales of Heaven Burns Red and stable market trends for new releases. The outlook remains contingent on title performance dynamics.

Summary of Main Supplementary Explanations Questions and Answers: FY2024 Second Quarter

The briefing clarified GREE’s strategic priorities and financial outlook for the second quarter of FY2024. Recent events for Heaven Burns Red celebrated its two‑year anniversary, generating strong performance and reinforcing the company’s focus on successful titles. The decision to discontinue support for SINoALICE was framed as a timing choice aligned with the broader development trajectory of GREE’s Game and Anime Business, indicating a shift toward more promising projects. Development activities continue to progress smoothly, though specific release dates remain undisclosed. In the VTuber segment, GREE plans aggressive investment to expand its talent pool and enhance competitiveness through its talent agencies. Talent auditions are evaluated on past streaming performance, character fit with the existing portfolio, and audience engagement capabilities. Investment business conditions are described as improving; after a period of inflated valuations—particularly in the United States—market values have stabilized, creating a favorable environment for new investments. GREE’s established network in gaming and metaverse sectors positions it to accumulate additional investment assets. Financial projections for the third quarter exclude the Investment Business, estimating consolidated operating income of approximately ¥1.5 billion. For the full fiscal year FY2024, the company forecasts consolidated operating income of roughly ¥5.0 billion under the same exclusion. These figures suggest a steady growth trajectory driven by core gaming, anime, and VTuber operations while maintaining a cautious stance on investment activities.

Segment performance varied: Entertainment Contents sales increased modestly (1.5 %) but ordinary income fell 34.3 % to ¥24,676 million; Pachislot & Pachinko sales declined 4.0 % with ordinary income dropping 46.0 %; Gaming revenue surged 438.5 % to ¥16,795 million but incurred a loss of ¥247 million due to consolidation of newly acquired GAN and Stakelogic. The Group’s balance sheet shows total assets at ¥640,474 million and net equity of ¥360,618 million, with the equity ratio at 56.2 %. Current liabilities rose to ¥109,254 million, lowering the current ratio to 35.1 %. Treasury stock increased from ¥54,866 million to ¥26,459 million as the company retired 20 million shares and subsequently acquired up to 12 million shares at a maximum cost of ¥20 billion. The results reflect significant impairment impacts, a shift in capital allocation policy toward shareholder returns, and ongoing adjustments to the Gaming and Entertainment segments amid new acquisitions.

Summary of main questions and answers at the FY2019 Second Quarter GREE results briefing held on February 4, 2019 PDF

The briefing focused on the performance and strategic outlook of GREE’s flagship title “Another Eden” following its overseas launch on January 29, 2019. Early sales data indicate a strong start abroad, with overseas user numbers already surpassing domestic figures. The company attributes this success to effective advance marketing and anticipates that limited overseas development costs—primarily translation—will translate into significant profit contributions. Marketing hypotheses for each target region were validated by current sales trends, confirming that the user profiles initially targeted align with actual players. In addressing future profitability, GREE disclosed a planned divestiture of unprofitable titles. The company estimates that this will reduce third‑quarter sales by several hundred million yen but will have a negligible impact on operating income, as overseas gains from “Another Eden” are expected to offset declines in existing titles. Concurrently, investment in new game development will increase, particularly during later production phases when outsourced labor and content creation intensify. Advertising spend is projected to remain flat domestically while allocating several hundred million yen for overseas promotion of “Another Eden.” A one‑time accounting adjustment in the first quarter, where variable costs were misclassified as overseas rather than domestic, was corrected in the second quarter. GREE clarified that this revision is isolated and will not recur. Overall, the briefing outlined a strategy of leveraging overseas market penetration to drive profitability while managing development and marketing expenditures in alignment with projected sales trajectories.
