Consolidated Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2026
Analysis of consolidated business results
With the Group's mission, "'Entertainment in Real Life': Making everyday more enjoyable and wonderful through
entertainment", the Group has been working to enrich people's everyday lives through entertainment. In the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Entertainment Business has been keeping in mind the need to enhance engagement with users in conjunction with existing titles, while also focusing on developing new titles. The Investment and Development Business has focused primarily on investment and divestment in IT-related and entertainment companies in Japan and overseas.
As a result, consolidated results for the six months ended March 31, 2026 were Net sales of 10,088 million yen (down 28.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), Operating profit of 533 million yen (down 62.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), Ordinary profit of 1,435 million yen (down 29.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), and Profit attributable to owners of parent of 825 million yen (up 364.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year).
Operating results by segment are as follows.
Entertainment Business
The Entertainment Business is responsible primarily for the development and operation of games for smartphones.
In games for smartphones, "DRAGON QUEST WALK (planning and production: SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD., Development:
COLOPL, Inc.)" continued to contribute to the Group's consolidated financial results. Furthermore, although the group
implemented service operations to enhance user engagement across various titles, Net sales decreased due to a decline in sales accompanying the extension of the distribution period for some existing titles. Conversely, advertising expenses decreased due to a group-wide cost review.
As a result, consolidated Net sales and Operating profit for the six months ended March 31, 2026 stood at 9,820 million yen (down 18.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year) and 655 million yen (Operating loss of 167 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year), respectively.
Investment and Development Business
The Group conducts the Investment and Development Business with a focus on investments in IT-related and entertainment companies in particular.
The Group's funds generated income from the sale of Operational investment securities for the six months ended March 31, 2026, but this was impacted by a decrease in reaction to a large-scale project in the previous year. In addition, impairment losses were recorded on a portion of Operational investment securities held.
As a result, consolidated Net sales and Operating loss for the six months ended March 31, 2026 stood at 268 million yen (down 86.8% from the same period of the previous fiscal year) and 123 million yen (Operating profit of 1,579 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year), respectively.
