Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that net sales increased to 17,204 million yen in its consolidated business results for the three months ended June 30, 2018 (up 46.5% year-over-year). Operating income was 5,106 million yen (up 550.8% year-over-year), and ordinary income was 5,492 million yen (up 610.6% year-over-year). Net income attributable to owners of the parent was 3,903 million yen (up 648.6% year-over-year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quarter, Monster Hunter: World<\/em> (released in the previous fiscal year) maintained its popularity, backed by an expanding base of fans, and achieved cumulative sales of 8.3 million units total; also in the Digital Contents business, which has continued to growth steadily in recent years, the new Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection<\/em> gave a solid performance, outperforming expectations. Further, in addition to healthy sales growth of high-margin catalog titles, the Digital Contents business drove earnings, resulting in the highest operating income for a first quarter in company history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forecast for the consolidated business results for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 remains the same as what was projected at the financial results announcement on May 8, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

  1. a. In this business, the phenomenal success of Monster Hunter: World<\/em><\/span> (for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) from the previous fiscal year continued, with the title gaining further popularity through the expansion of its user base. In scoring a worldwide smash hit, the series solidified its position as an international brand and strengthened our base of IP (intellectual property). Furthermore, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection<\/em> (for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC), a new title released in markets outside of Japan, performed strongly, while Mega Man Legacy Collection<\/em>, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2<\/em> and Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2<\/em> for Nintendo Switch also maintained robust sales thanks to a loyal fan base and strong brand capabilities.<\/li>\n\n
  2. b. In addition, high-margin catalog titles steadily increased sales and contributed to improving profitability. Furthermore, looking ahead to the spread of diverse, digital content in the future, the Company released Resident Evil 7: biohazard Cloud Version<\/em> (for Nintendo Switch) in Japan, a streaming title.<\/li>\n\n
  3. c. The resulting net sales were 13,782 million yen (up 79.3% year-over-year) and operating income was 5,735 million yen (up 242.2% year-over-year).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    1. a. In this business, while the market recovered with arcades functioning as a familiar entertainment option that were "inexpensive, close and quick," the Company made efforts to secure customers and create demand by community-oriented marketing. Examples include installing game machines that meet diverse customer needs, holding various events and offering a pleasant atmosphere.<\/li>\n\n
    2. b. During the period under review, the Company opened one store in the Hiroshima prefecture, bringing the total number of stores to 37.<\/li>\n\n
    3. c. The resulting net sales were 2,381 million yen (up 6.0% year-over-year) and operating income was 143 million yen (up 12.1% year-over-year).<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n

      1. a. In the Pachinko & Pachislo sub-segment, while the Company launched Okami -Kaidouhen-<\/em> in a weak market environment, demand declined and sales struggled due to the downturn in consumer confidence and dampening investments by the Pachinko\/Pachislo hall operators.<\/li>\n\n
      2. b. The Arcade Games Sales sub-segment also struggled and business was generally weak, due to a lack of new products.<\/li>\n\n
      3. c. The resulting net sales were 376 million yen (down 73.1% year-over-year) and an operating loss of 154 million yen (compared to an operating loss of 229 million yen in the same term of the previous fiscal year).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n
