Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that in its consolidated business results for the nine months ended December 31, 2017, net sales decreased to 47,740 million yen (down 10.8% year-over-year), operating income increased to 7,009 million yen (up 36.9% year-over-year), ordinary income increased to 7,099 million yen (up 71.2% year-over-year), and net income attributable to owners of the parent increased to 4,439 million yen (up 60.7% year-over-year).
In the nine months ended December 31, 2017, our core Digital Contents business had a strong performance, backed by titles such as Resident Evil 7 biohazard and Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) Nintendo Switch Ver.; however, net sales decreased due to revising the new product launch schedule in our Amusement Equipments business following changes to the market environment. Despite this, profit increased due to profitability improvements in the Digital Contents business, putting Capcom on firm footing to achieve five consecutive years of operating income growth.
The forecast for the consolidated business results for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 remains the same as what was projected at the financial results announcement on April 27, 2017.
a. In this business, Resident Evil 7 biohazard (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC) and Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) Nintendo Switch Ver. (for Nintendo Switch) performed strongly, in addition to Ultra Street Fighter II The Final Challengers (for Nintendo Switch) becoming a smash hit. Meanwhile, sales of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC), which was launched in September 2017 targeting the European and US markets, tended to be soft.
