Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that in its consolidated business results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, net sales were 95,308 million yen (up 16.8 % from the previous fiscal year), operating income was 34,596 million yen (up 51.6 % from the previous fiscal year), ordinary income was 34,845 million yen (up 51.8 % from the previous fiscal year), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 24,923 million yen (up 56.3 % from the previous fiscal year).
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, Capcom's core Digital Contents business drove results with continued success in promoting digital sales in addition to major new releases such as Monster Hunter Rise and Resident Evil 3, as well as sales growth for catalog titles such as Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Further, following its mainline business strategy of promoting digital sales, Capcom saw growth in overseas revenue due to realizing both expansion of its regional markets and longer product lives for its titles. Altogether, the above factors resulted in the eighth consecutive year of operating income growth, and the fourth consecutive year of record-high profit at all levels in company history.
Moving forward, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, Capcom anticipates net sales of 100,000 million yen and operating income of 42,000 million yen, which would result in nine consecutive years of operating income growth and five consecutive years of record high profit at all levels.
