Nintendo Co., Ltd.
1. Consolidated O peratin g Results
2. Consolidated Financial Position
3. Consolidated Financial Forecast
Regarding the Nintendo Switch business during the first half (April through September 2024) of this fiscal year, Paper Mario
Thousand-Year Door , released in May, sold 1.94 million units, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, released in June, sold 1.57 million units,
and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom , released in September, got off to a good start posting sales of 2.58 million units. In
addition, we saw stable sales in titles released through the end of the previous fiscal year, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe selling 2.31
million units (for cumulative sales of 64.27 million units).
As a result of these factors, the total number of million-seller titles during this period reached nine, including titles from o ther
software publishers. Hardware sales totaled 4.72 million units, and software sales totaled 70.28 million units. Hardware and
software sales in the first half of last fiscal year were substantially driven by the May 2023 release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears
of the Kingdom , so compared to then, hardware sales were down 31.0% and software sales were down 27.6% year-on-year.
Turning to our digital business for our dedicated video game pl atform, digital sales totaled 159.9 billion yen, down 26.5% year –
on-year, mainly due to a decrease in sales of Nintendo Switch downloadable versions of packaged software. In the mobile and IP related business, sales rose significantly in the same period of last fiscal year, thanks to the high leve l of
audience engagement with The Super Mario Bros. Movie , which was released in April 2023. For this period, sales came to 31.2
billion yen, down 43.3% year-on-year, due to a decrease in revenue related to the movie. The end result is that overall sales reached 523.2 billion yen, with sales outside of Japan of 391.0 billion yen accounting for
74.7% of the total. Operating profit came to 121.5 billion yen. Despite foreign exchange losses of 22.4 billion yen, interest income
of 30.8 billion yen and other factors resulted in ordinary profit of 147.1 billion yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent of
108.6 billion yen.
Although Nintendo Switch hardware and software unit sales through the first half of the fiscal year were both below our initial
expectations, many people continue to play with Nintendo Switch even in its eighth year since launch. For hardware, by continuing to convey the appeal of Nintendo Switch, we try to not only put one system in every home, but
several in every home, or even one for every person. Another objective is to continually release new offerings so more consumer s
keep playing Nintendo Switch even longer and we can maximize hardware sales. For software, in addition to Super Mario Party
Jamboree , released in October, we have other titles planned for release, such as Mario & Luigi: Brothership(November), and
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (January 2025). Other software publishers plan to release a wide variety of titles, and we will
strive to invigorate the platform by continually introducing new titles in addition to the existing titles. We have modified the Nintendo Switch hardware and software sales unit forecasts for the fiscal year. in consideration of the
sales trend through the six months ended September 30, 2024, and revised the financial forecast originally published on May 7,
2024. For details, please see “Notice of Full-Year Financial Forecast Modifications” issued today (November 5, 2024).
Total assets decreased by 80.0 billion yen compared to the previous fiscal year-end to 3,071.3 billion yen as of September 30,
mainly due to a decrease in cash and deposits and securities, despite an increase in inventories. Total liabilities decreased by 14.3
billion yen compared to the previous fiscal year-end to 532.0 billion yen mainly due to a decrease in income taxes payable and
other current liabilities, despite an increase in notes and accounts payable-trade. Net assets decreased by 65.6 billion yen compared
to the previous fiscal year-end to 2,539.3 billion yen mainly due to a decrease in retained earnings and foreign currency translation
adjustment.
