Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that in its consolidated business results for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, net sales were 52,908 million (down 13.6% year-over-year).

Net income attributable to owners of the parent was 13,065 million yen (up 42.3% year-over-year).
This quarter, flagship title Monster Hunter World: Iceborneprovided a solid performance, while elsewhere in the core Digital Contents business sales of major catalog releases from past years, such as Monster Hunter: World, Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5, also showed healthy sales growth.

- a. In this business segment, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) delivered solid sales and served as the key driver of profitability growth owing to a focus on high-margin digital sales. Further, healthy sales of catalog titles also boosted profit. Specifically, Resident Evil 2 (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC) and Devil May Cry 5 (for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC), both released in the previous fiscal year and recipients of an Award for Excellence at the Japan Game Awards: 2019, saw continued growth in sales buoyed by a growing user base. Monster Hunter: World (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC), which was launched in January 2018, also continued to display its long sales life.
- b. The resulting net sales were 40,589 million yen (down 15.2% from the same term in the previous fiscal year) due to an increase in the percentage of digital sales. Operating income was 19,885 million yen (up 30.1% from the same term in the previous fiscal year) due to successfully revising the earnings structure and contributions from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and catalog titles.

- b. During the period under review the total number of stores reached 40 with the opening of Capcom Store Tokyo in Shibuya Parco (Tokyo), a dedicated retail shop that sells character merchandise and represents a new business endeavor for Capcom, as well as two new arcades: Plaza Capcom Ikebukuro (Tokyo) and Plaza Capcom Fujiidera (Osaka).

- a. In an environment in which the shrinkage of the game machine market shows no signs of stopping, mainly due to the revision in pachislo model certification methods, the Company did not launch any new models and instead focused on business from licensing.
- b. The resulting net sales were 663 million yen (down 79.5% from the same term in the previous fiscal year), although the Company secured an operating income, albeit small, of 376 million yen (an operating loss of 639 million yen for the same term in the previous fiscal year) supported by the licensing business.
