Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that in its consolidated business results for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, net sales were 106,179 million yen (up 33.3% year-over-year), operating income was 47,704 million yen (up 43.1% year-over-year), ordinary income was 49,460 million yen (up 47.4% year-over-year), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 34,636 million yen (up 46.7% year-over-year).
At the end of the nine months ended December 31, 2023, Capcom’s core Digital Contents business drove global sales volume growth by launching major titles for its flagship brands and actively promoting digital sales for its catalog titles.

Further, the company promoted both efficient store operations and opening new store formats in its Arcade Operations business, while in its Amusement Equipments business it released new smart pachislo models in addition to selling existing machines that utilize its popular IP, all of which helped grow earnings. As a result, sales and profit increased year-over-year in Capcom’s consolidated business results for the nine months ended December 31, 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.
