1. Consolidated Results and Consolidated Financial Position for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026
Analysis of consolidated business results
The Square Enix group (the "Group") is continuing determined efforts to strengthen the competitiveness and profitability of its business segments of Digital Entertainment, Amusement, Publication and Merchandising. Net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 totaled ¥297,661 million (a decrease of 8.3% from the prior fiscal year), and operating income amounted to ¥54,736 million (an increase of 34.9% from the prior fiscal year). In foreign exchange rates, the weakness of Japanese yen compared to rates as of the end of the prior fiscal year resulted in the booking of a foreign exchange gain amounting to ¥7,213 million. As a result, ordinary income amounted to ¥64,469 million (an increase of 57.5% from the prior fiscal year). Profit attributable to owners of parent amounted to ¥29,616 million (an increase of 21.3% from the prior fiscal year), partly due to the recognition of ¥12,135 million in Reorganization costs.
A discussion of results by segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 follows.
Digital Entertainment
The Digital Entertainment segment consists of planning, development, distribution, and operation of digital entertainment content primarily in the form of game. Digital entertainment content is offered to meet customer lifestyles across a variety of usage environments such as consumer game consoles (including handheld game machines), personal computers and smart devices.
In the HD (High-Definition) Game sub-segment, consolidated net sales and operating income for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2026 increased compared with the previous fiscal year, driven by steady sales of new titles such as "FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles," "DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake," and "DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined," as well as higher sales of catalog titles compared with the previous fiscal year.
In the MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) Game sub-segment, net sales and operating income declined compared with the previous fiscal year, as the previous fiscal year had seen the launch of "FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail," an expansion pack for "FINAL FANTASY XIV."
In the Games for Smart Devices/PC Browser sub-segment, net sales declined compared with the previous fiscal year due to weakness in existing titles. However, operating income increased year on year, mainly as a result of improved profitability stemming from diversification of payment methods.
Net sales and operating income in the Digital Entertainment segment totaled ¥172,883 million (a decrease of 16.3% from the prior fiscal year), and ¥43,363 million (an increase of 28.0% from the prior fiscal year), respectively.
