Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive

The earnings call reflected a positive start in the Pachislot, Pachinko, and gaming businesses, with strong launches like Persona5: The Phantom X and successful initiatives like the SEGA Store Tokyo. However, there were notable challenges, including foreign exchange losses and underperformance in Rovio and animation segments. Despite some lowlights, the highlights indicate a generally positive outlook with strong operational starts in key segments.

Company Guidance

During Sega Sammy Holdings Inc.'s Q1 financial results briefing for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the company reported that sales were generally in line with expectations, leading to a smaller-than-expected loss at the operating income level. The Pachislot and Pachinko machines and gaming businesses showed a good start in operating income, whereas the entertainment contents business performed as anticipated. Although operating income surpassed expectations, adjusted EBITDA remained consistent due to JPY2.9 billion in foreign exchange losses. The company completed acquisitions of Stakelogic BV and GAN Limited, with goodwill estimated at JPY18.6 billion and JPY17.4 billion, respectively. There was a consolidation of the balance sheet from Q1, but P&L contributions will begin in Q2. Notably, 20 million shares of treasury stock were canceled, resulting in 11 million shares remaining. Operating, investing, and financing cash flows were projected at negative JPY11.7 billion, negative JPY19.5 billion, and negative JPY17.9 billion, respectively, contributing to an overall negative cash flow of JPY50.6 billion. The company anticipates growth from Q2 onward, spurred by the introduction of mainstay titles across its various businesses.

Strong Start in Pachislot and Pachinko Machines Business

The Pachislot and Pachinko machines business made a good start in terms of operating income, with sales of Dejihane P Hokuto No Ken Jibo and P Zombie Land Saga exceeding internal expectations. Orders for Tokyo Revengers Pachislot machine exceeded 25,000 units, compared to the plan of 20,000 units.

Positive Performance in Gaming Business

Increase in Licensing and Subscription Revenues
