(the "Company") today announced consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. The Company is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, First Section with the stock code "9684" and prepares its financial statements according to Japan GAAP.
Summary of consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. In the Digital Entertainment segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 ("this fiscal year"), repeat sales, primarily through download, of catalogue titles released in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 ("the prior fiscal year") were strong, while the Group released fewer full-length console game titles compared with the prior fiscal year. In the area of content for platforms such as smart devices and PC browser, "SENGOKU IXA," a browser game, and "DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS SUPER LIGHT," a game for smartphones continued to show strong performance. "SCHOOLGIRL STRIKERS," "FINAL FANTASY RECORD KEEPER," and "Kai-ri-Sei Million Arthur," games for smartphones newly released during this fiscal year, have been showing strong performance as well. In addition, "FINAL FANTASY XIV" and "DRAGON QUEST X," MMOs, have been making favorable progress. In the Amusement segment, the operation of the amusement facilities has been showing steady performance through efficient store management efforts, managing an adverse effect of the increased consumption tax rate, whereas sales of amusement machines decreased. In the Publication segment, sales of comics have showed steady growth as the result of media-mix deployment such as TV animation programs originated in comic titles. The business environment surrounding the Group is in the midst of major changes, where smart devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs are spreading rapidly, while the console game markets in North America and Europe are increasingly competitive and oligopolistic. In light of such environmental changes, the Group is focusing all efforts on a substantial earnings improvement through driving reforms of business structure in order to establish new revenue base.
