In fact, the company increased its profitability, which was hampered due to Covid-19 last year. It also faced a decline in the arcade games division due to Covid-19 but expects to cover it with its consumer video games division.
The company plans to acquire treasury stocks worth 30 billion yen to increase shareholders’ wealth and capital efficiency. The company has also set some future goals like share buyback, investing in new video games, and increasing dividend per share for this year-end.
For the video games division, the performance was far stronger than expected. This was followed by an increase in sales of consumer video games and royalty income. The company also witnessed an increase in amusement machine sales, which was achieved by fixed cost reduction. And there was an increase in sales of prizes for prize machines as well.
In the coming future, Sega will invest heavily in new video games, which will increase the expenses related to research & development and marketing & advertising.
