Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that in its consolidated business results for the six months ended September 30, 2023, net sales were 74,934 million yen (up 52.7% year-over-year), operating income was 33,835 million yen (up 54.5% year-over-year), ordinary income was 36,164 million yen (up 57.3% year-over-year), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 25,287 million yen (up 56.7% year-over-year).
During the six months ended September 30, 2023, Capcom’s core Digital Contents business delivered sales of 22.6 million units for its home video game software, surpassing the 21.3 million units in sales in the same period of the previous year and significantly contributing to the value of the company’s brands. The company achieved this with the release of major new titles in its flagship series, including Street Fighter 6, as well as through pursuing catalog title sales digitally, which led to growth in sales volume globally. Further, the company grew earnings by promoting both efficient store operations and opening new store formats in its Arcade Operations business, while selling existing machines that utilize its popular IP in its Amusement Equipments business. As a result, sales and profit increased year-over-year in Capcom’s consolidated business results for the six months ended September 30, 2023, putting the company on track to achieve its full-year earnings forecast along with 11 consecutive years of operating profit growth.
The forecast for the consolidated business results for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, remains the same as what was projected at the financial results announcement on May 10, 2023.
