Sega recently announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2025, reporting a sharp increase in profits compared to previous years (as reported by GameBiz).
The company saw triple-digit growth in operating profit and ordinary profit, while net profit reached 32.3 billion yen (over $224 million USD). This is a huge turnaround from the 6.65 billion yen net loss they saw in the previous fiscal year (caused by cancelled titles and restructuring of their European business).
According to Sega, the strong performance this year was driven by high-margin sales of full price games released in previous fiscal years, as well as sales of new releases Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Sonic x Shadow Generations. Video game sales and Sonic-related licensing revenue were strong enough to offset the losses Sega incurred from the cancellation of Football Manager 25.
Incidentally, Sega’s RGG Studio has commented that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii’s initial wave of sales is much stronger overseas than in Japan, which is new for the franchise.
Sega’s financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 are as follows:
Revenue: 124.08 billion yen (down 33.5% year-on-year)
Operating Profit: 11.11 billion yen (up 373.7% year-on-year)
Ordinary Profit: 35.27 billion yen (up 374.3% year-on-year YoY)
Net Profit: 32.31 billion yen (as opposed to 6.65 billion yen net loss previous year)
