SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS INC. [6460.T]
TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS INC. (6460.T) reported a lower net profit of -¥79 million for the fiscal year ended March 2026, marking a significant decline compared to the prior year's profit.
Operating revenue was ¥45.00 billion, driven by weak performance in full-game releases and F2P titles, particularly those from subsidiaries Rovio and Stakelogic. Despite strong sales of slot machines, the company’s gaming division recorded substantial losses due to increased investment costs. For the upcoming fiscal year ending March 2027, SEGA SAMMY anticipates continued revenue growth but expects lower profits amid rising production costs and higher marketing expenses.
The company plans to launch several new game titles, including high-profile series such as “Smash Slot Tokyo Revengers” and “Smash Slot Ghost Story,” aiming to boost revenues. However, the firm also forecasts a reduction in sales volumes for pachinko machines due to market contraction and higher component prices. In addition, SEGA SAMMY announced a revised dividend policy for the next fiscal year, projecting a total payout of approximately ¥114 billion, which includes both interim and final dividends.
The company also intends to continue its share buyback program initiated earlier this year, reflecting ongoing efforts to return value to shareholders despite challenging market conditions.
