SEGA Sammy Holding’s Fiscal Year 2016 Results Reveal Lower Sales but Higher Profit

Leave a reply

SEGA-Sammy have revealed their financial results for the full fiscal year, ending March 2016. Compared to the previous fiscal year, sales for each of the three main business segments of the SEGA Sammy Holding are down, but profits are slightly up. In total, the net sales amounted to ¥347,981 million ($3.2 billion), while the total operating income was ¥17,617 million ($162.18 million), a minor 0.7% increase over the operating income of the year before.

As such, it’s Immediately obvious that overall, SEGA-Sammy have managed to increase their profitability, which was their main goal following their restructure in 2015. Nonetheless, if you look at the chart I included below, the results for the different segments of SEGA Sammy continue to show the same trend that we’ve seen from the holding company for a while now. The Entertainment Contents Division (which includes everything related to their video games business) achieved the highest amount of net sales, but barely manages to bring in a profit. In comparison, the Pachinko/Pachislot business remains more efficient.
