Digital Sales and IP Revenue

The company’s IP-related business generated 33.3 billion yen, marking a 12.4% decrease year-on-year, primarily driven by a drop in movie-related revenue.
Overall Financial Performance
The total sales for this reporting period stood at 1,099.5 billion yen, with international sales accounting for 79.5% of this total at 874.3 billion yen. The company reported:
- Profit attributable to owners: 198.9 billion yen

Looking Ahead
Upcoming releases include Pokémon Legends: Z-A for Switch 2 and Kirby Air Riders, scheduled for November, followed by Metroid Prime 4: Beyond in December. Nintendo continues to aim for growth by leveraging both new and existing titles to expand its user base.
Furthermore, due to sales trends observed in the first half of the fiscal year, Nintendo has revised its financial forecasts. Changes to the dividend policy will also take effect from the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.
