Koei Tecmo Holdings raises interim earnings outlook on strong game sales

Koei Tecmo Holdings Co., Ltd. announced a significant upward revision to its consolidated earnings forecast for the interim period ending September 30, 2025. The company now anticipates net sales of JPY 31,000 million, up from JPY 30,000 million, and operating profit of JPY 7,800 million, a substantial increase from the previous JPY 5,000 million. Ordinary profit is projected to reach JPY 17,500 million, a considerable leap from JPY 8,000 million, with profit attributable to owners of parent expected to be JPY 13,200 million, up from JPY 6,000 million.

This revised outlook is primarily attributed to robust repeat sales of existing console and PC games, coupled with effective cost reductions in outsourcing and advertising. The company also noted improved non-operating income and expenses due to careful financial market monitoring. The interim net income per share is now forecasted at JPY 40.61, adjusted for a public offering and third-party allotment of treasury shares totaling 18,000,000 shares.

Despite the positive interim adjustments, the full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains unchanged. This decision accounts for several new titles scheduled for release after the third quarter and ongoing considerations regarding the global economy and financial market trends.
