In the Digital Entertainment segment, the HD (High-Definition) Game sub-segment’s net sales for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 declined compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year as new titles generated lower sales than releases such as “FINAL FANTASY XVI” and “FINAL FANTASY PIXEL REMASTER” had the previous year. However, sub-segment operating losses narrowed mainly due to lower development cost amortization and advertising expenses compared with the same period of the previous year.
In the MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) Game sub-segment, net sales and profits rose compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year on the launch of “FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail,” the latest expansion pack for “FINAL FANTASY XIV.”
In the Games for Smart Devices/PC Browser sub-segment, net sales and profits declined compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due in part to weakness in existing titles, as well as to the fact that the previous year had seen the recognition of royalty revenue.
In the Amusement segment, the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 saw net sales and operating income rise compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year on sharp year-on-year growth in same-store sales.
In the Publication segment, net sales increased in the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 on year-on-year growth in both digital and print sales driven by strong sales of comics, but profits declined, mainly on changes in the product breakdown within sales.
In the Merchandising segment, the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 saw net sales and operating income rise compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, partly driven by brisk sales of new merchandise featuring key characters from the Group’s IP portfolio.
