Koei Tecmo Holdings has published its full-year financial results<\/a> for the fiscal year ending March 2025. While we often report on how Koei skillfully makes up for losses in video games sales with its renowned investment strategies<\/a>, this year the company saw significant profit from its core business \u2013 video games, as well as its investment returns. As a result, Koei Tecmo achieved record high net profit, ordinary income and non-operating income (source: GameBiz<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the fiscal year, Koei Tecmo released nine console games, including hit releases like Dynasty Warriors Origin<\/a> and the Atelier series\u2019 most ambitious entry to date \u2013 Atelier Yumia<\/a>. Although segment sales were slightly lower year-on-year, profit increased by over $22 million thanks to sales of new self-published titles, increased digital sales of catalogue titles, and cost-cuts related to live-service games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koei Tecmo\u2019s investment division, known for its bold financial moves, contributed around $123 million in non-operating income. This marked a slight year-over-year increase and the company\u2019s highest figure ever, demonstrating some stable asset management skills<\/a> amid hectic market conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the next fiscal year, Koei Tecmo has several new releases planned, including the Switch 2 exclusive AAA title Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, but nonetheless expects lower annual profits. This is attributed to large upfront development investments and recent market uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
