1. Business Performance

1. Analysis of Business Performance

(1) Business Overview

Though the world economy remains uncertain, the business environment surrounding the Konami Group show signs of a rebound in personal consumption due to continuing yen depreciation and a rise in stock prices resulting from anticipation stimulated by economy-boosting measures since the end of the last year.

In the entertainment market, with improving performance in mobile devices due to the rapid spread of smartphones and tablet PCs and the development of information and telecommunications infrastructure, game platforms continue to diversify while next-generation game consoles are being introduced and business opportunities for the game industry are increasing. In overseas markets, the gaming business is expected to grow as the development of tourist resources helps to spread the casino market internationally.

In the health and fitness industry, there is a growing health consciousness throughout society, especially among senior citizens and women, who tend to focus their leisure activities on improving health and physical strength year after year. We continue to see growing health-consciousness, a preference for sports and an interest in preventing the need for nursing care in old age.

Against this backdrop, in the Digital Entertainment segment of Konami Group, content for social networks including DRAGON COLLECTION continued to grow. Meanwhile, e-AMUSEMENT Participation system titles for amusement arcade machines including Future Tom Tom, the latest titles in the BEMANI series, were also released and sold steadily.

In our Health & Fitness segment, a new counseling system, MY Fit Planner, was introduced in Konami Sports Clubs nationwide, in addition to supporting activities to improve the health and physical condition of our users according to each customer’s need. These efforts are performing favorably in the market.

In our Gaming & Systems segment, sales of products such as the Podium video slot machine and the Advantage mechanical slot machine series continued to be received favorably mainly in the U.S. market.

In the Pachinko and Pachinko Slot Machines segment, SKYGIRLS—Yoroshiku! Zero, which launched in the prior fiscal year and was added to its orders for this period, continues to perform steadily and has been favorably received in the market.

In terms of the consolidated results for the three months ended June 30, 2013, net revenues amounted to ¥45,589 million (a year-on-year decrease of 7.2%), operating income was ¥1,495 million (a year-on-year decrease of 72.2%), income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated company was ¥2,143 million (a year-on-year decrease of 53.9%), and net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION was ¥934 million (a year-on-year decrease of 65.6%).

Digital Entertainment

Content for social networks including DRAGON COLLECTION, SENGOKU COLLECTION, Professional Baseball Dream Nine, the CROWS X WORST series and Tokimeki Restaurant continued to enjoy steady sales and contributed to our revenue. We also began to distribute new titles including Professional Baseball Dream Nine SUPERSTARS and World Soccer Collection S on application stores for smartphones and received favorable reviews. In addition, a popular music game, jubeat plus, began to be distributed on Amazon application store for Android. The launch made the game available to one of the key tablet PC, the Kindle Fire HD. The distribution is intended to release overseas markets and expected to increase in users as well.

As for computer and video games, PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL SPIRITS 2013, the latest title in the PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL SPIRITS series as well as WORLD SOCCER Winning Eleven 2013 (known in the U.S. and Europe as Pro Evolution Soccer 2013), which was released in the prior fiscal year, received favorable reviews and contributed to our revenue. Further, our latest three titles in the global market, including METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN, received awards for excellence presented by several popular media sources and received favorable reviews at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013 (E3) held in the U.S. in June 2013.

Amusement arcade video games continued enjoying sustained sales since e-AMUSEMENT Participation system titles including Future Tom Tom, the latest titles in the BEMANI series and the large-scale mass-medal arcade game operated stable. In addition, Monster Retsuden ORECA BATTLE continued to receive favorable reviews mainly due to creating synergies with comics serialized on monthly boys’ magazines and linking to smartphone applications. We also exhibited Monster Retsuden ORECA BATTLE and DRAGON COLLECTION—The Ambition of The Pepper Gang at the World Hobby Fair 2013 Summer held at Makuhari Messe, Chiba prefecture. These titles received remarkable attention, resulting in a boost to the market presence of our titles.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME series, developed in the global market, continued to perform strongly and contributed our revenue due to its strong popularity in various parts of the world.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 in this segment amounted to ¥20,005 million (a year-on-year decrease of 12.3%).

Health & Fitness

In our fitness club business, with growing health consciousness among consumers and stronger interest in preventing the need for nursing care in old age, we introduced a new concept, “Total Health Partner”, with the aim of establishing ourselves as a leading provider of new health-themed services, not only providing places for exercise but also becoming the most reliable provider of a wide range of health and body services for all of our customers, from children to senior citizens.

We introduced a new counseling system, MY Fit Planner, in Konami Sports Clubs nationwide. This enables us to offer the most suitable training method and a continuous fitness life plan for each customer from approximately 285 options, and is aimed for helping customers maintain and promote their health in order to let them exercise continuously.

We also launched a new program, RUN-WALK Support, which renewed a popular program primarily used for checking and evaluating customers’ postures and gait patterns. This program was improved to become a comprehensive program intending to help customers jog longer, faster and more enjoyably and walk in a healthier manner by having specialized staff provide one-on-one advice tailored to each customer’s body and advise on more general matters such as how to select the correct shoe size, what items can help with jogging and how to administer self-massage.

Konami Group recognizes disuse syndrome as an important social problem. Sufferers of this syndrome display symptoms including a decrease in physical activity in daily life, which can be caused by old age or in relation to conditions experienced by disaster refugees. For this fiscal year, we continued to develop a program for local governments to prevent the need for nursing care in old age as a regional support program. This program takes advantage of facilities we operate both directly and outsourced nationwide. We send out our instructors to conduct temporary classes to promote health for senior citizens in each region. The classes are operated by well-prepared instructors trained in “senior-citizen-health-promoting-instructor courses” and by specialized staff, including physical therapists, health fitness instructors, registered dietitians and nurses. Under this program, we offer comprehensive services including muscle strengthening, oral health care, nutritional guidance and pool programs. We continue to try to provide programs which maintain and improve health in cooperation with local governments. In addition, we develop exercise programs designed to revitalize bodies declining with age, including the OyZ exercise school program which mainly targets senior citizens over sixty years old, and offer services that customers are able to continue using after the courses are completed.

With respect to the management of facilities outsourced to Konami Group, using the know-how and accomplishments in operation and guidance accumulated over the years, we commenced management of 15 facilities including the Kamakura City public sports facilities (Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture). We are working to promote the health of residents in local communities through the operation of public facilities in all regions.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 in this segment amounted to ¥18,952 million (a year-on-year decrease of 3.9%).

Gaming & Systems

In the North American market, the Podium video slot machine, which has become a staple item, and the Advantage mechanical slot machine series continued to enjoy favorable sales. We expanded our lineup of premium products, which have been met with high expectations from players, by introducing products such as Podium Goliath, which increased the size of Podium, and by entering into participation agreements (in which profits are shared with casino operators). We also launched SYNKROS, which is a new-generation Konami Casino Management System, enhanced with various new functions.

In the Oceania market, we continue to distribute Podium. Full-scale marketing is also in progress in Asia, Central and South America and Europe, where we are working on building distribution networks.

Total Assets:

Total assets amounted to ¥314,137 million as of June 30, 2013, decreasing by ¥8,811 million compared with March 31, 2013. This decrease mainly resulted from decreases in cash and cash equivalents and trade notes and accounts receivable despite an increase in property and equipment.

3. Outlook for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2014

Digital Entertainment

With the spread of smartphones and tablet PCs worldwide, the available means of providing game software continue to diversify, and opportunities to reach an even greater audience for game software are increasing. Against such a backdrop, our belief is that we can increase the number of “outlets” for the Konami Group’s game content by taking advantage of opportunities presented by the emergence of new devices and developing our business around game content. We intend to develop ways of playing games that match the characteristics of each device.

As for content for social networks, we are further focusing our managerial resources on the development of content that we believe will become major hits in order to produce more hit content. Looking ahead, we will continue to expand our lineup, utilizing previously established production and operational expertise and rich content resources. We also intend to develop more for new global platforms not only markets in the U.S. and Europe but also in Asian markets and enhance new releases with attractive content by creating synergies with established content.

As for computer and video games, we will focus efforts on continued global development utilizing the production know-how of the Konami Group, while also continuing the production of content for selected existing AAA titles, and continue to strive towards producing hit titles by leveraging existing content. On the production side, as quickly as possible, we intend to develop local production systems in order to develop localized content tailored to the needs of our overseas game users. In addition, for our Winning Eleven series, we are currently developing a specialized soccer game engine, based on FOX ENGINE, to provide a more realistic soccer game experience.

As for amusement arcade machines, Konami Group intends to work to revitalize the amusement arcade industry by providing entertainment that can be enjoyed only at an amusement facility through “interpersonal communication” using the e-AMUSEMENT system. We intend to propose innovative services that will lead the industry. This will involve promoting the continual development of equipment compatible with the eAMUSEMENT community site services, the PASELI e-money service and e-AMUSEMENT Participation, which are currently in operation, as well as enhancements to and the expansion of services. Such enhancements include products and services with our strong content for Monster Retsuden ORECA BATTLE and DRAGON COLLECTION—The Ambition of The Pepper Gang with the aim of further improving content-value. These are expected to be well received in the market.

As for card games, we will continue the global development of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME series. Additionally, we plan to sequentially release new product lineups, including the Digital Game Card series.

Health & Fitness

In our Health and Fitness business, we will continually aim to accurately grasp the needs of our increasingly diverse customer base and offer a new lifestyle with the aim of creating value-added Konami Sports Clubs. Against the backdrop of an aging society and government measures taken in response to lifestyle diseases, with a heightened social awareness of health and fitness, we believe that we will be able to continue to operate fitness clubs and develop and market health and fitness equipment, while also continuing to promote good health in the future to various types of potential customers in various age ranges.

Amidst the growing need for good health, we intend to promote our health and fitness business, whether in or outside our facilities, by leveraging our strengths in the operation of more than 300 of Japan’s large-scale sports clubs, by expanding our products and services and by focusing on the enrichment of the programs offered at our facilities, the computerization of health management and the upgrading and expansion of our product lineup, as well as other efforts.

Konami Sports Clubs are also promoting the new concept of “Total Health Partner” with the aim of establishing themselves as a reliable concierge in daily life for all of their customers, from children to senior citizens, in every aspect of health, not only exercise but also diet, sleep and mental health.

From July 2013, we updated our price plans for Konami Sports Clubs as the first step of our new concept “you can continue” which is one of the important matters to achieve health in response to customers’ demands including “easy to access”, “easy to continue” and “suitable plans for me”. The updated services enable customers to select a plan based on the number of times per week they need to use our services to meet their goals at their pace. Overall, we intend to focus on helping customers to continue to use our sports clubs and make efforts to enhance service strength.

Gaming & Systems

In regard to slot machine sales, we will promote the strengthening of sales together with product expansion focusing on Podium video slot machines, which have received positive reviews, and KP3, a software-controlled next generation platform capable of real-time, high-resolution 3D graphics. For our mechanical slot machines, we will continue to aggressively promote sales of the five-reel mechanical slot machine series, Advantage 5, which has received much acclaim. Furthermore, we intend to stabilize our operational results by increasing periodical income through the expansion of participation agreements (profit sharing) with operators whose sales strategies adequately respond to the market as well as by making enhancements to address the needs of casino operators by expanding our products. In the Asian, Central and South American and European markets, we continue to develop sales by adopting to local needs.

Furthermore, SYNKROS, which is a brand-new and new-generation Konami Casino Management System enhanced with various new functions, has received positive reviews by major operators at various trade shows and business conferences. Looking ahead, we intend to actively pursue sales in other markets and make efforts to enhance product strength while developing new product features.

In the Pachinko and Pachinko Slot Machines business, during the three months ending September 30, 2013, we plan to release a new pachinko slot machine, Contra 3D, which adapts the video game content that was selected for the greatest All-TIME 100 Video Games by TIME (U.S. / web edition) in November, 2012 into a pachinko slot machine. We will continue to focus on production and sales of pachinko slot and pachinko machines, including the latest titles in the popular series that utilize original content from the Konami Group in the period ending December 2013 and after.

Projected consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 are as follows: net revenue of ¥232,000 million; operating income of ¥27,000 million; income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated company of ¥26,000 million; and net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION of ¥15,500 million. Thus, there is no change from the forecast figures released in the “Consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2013” dated May 9, 2013.

KONAMI, as a business affected by “hit” products, requires flexibility in how its products are released and is subject to fluctuations in sales throughout the course of the fiscal year. For this reason, projected consolidated results for the half year are not disclosed.

We will to continue to elaborate on the disclosure for the quarterly financial results.

Special Note:

This document contains “forward-looking statements,” or statements related to future events that are based on management’s assumptions and beliefs in light of information currently available. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties.

When relying on forward-looking statements to make investments, you should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Actual results may be affected by a number of important factors and may be materially different from those discussed in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions affecting our operations, market trends and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the value of the Japanese yen, the U.S. dollar and the Euro.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Effective April 1, 2013, KONAMI has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. ASU 2013-02 requires the presentation of the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, and to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. This ASU only updates disclosure requirements.

Change in Depreciation Method

Previously, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries had principally used the declining-balance method for computing depreciation expense of property and equipment. Effective April 1, 2013, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries changed their depreciation method to the straight-line method in order to appropriately reflect recent changes in the business environment. In the Health & Fitness Segment, management has decided to limit new capital expenditures for additional facilities and has begun implementing a new strategy to improve retention for longer-term membership. This will enable the Company to achieve a more stable utilization of the existing facilities. In addition, in other segments, the products and services have generally began generating consistent revenue and the centralization and enhancement of the production and manufacturing systems have resulted in a change in pattern of consumption, and it better reflects the future economic benefit from the usage of the property and equipment.

The effect of the change in depreciation method is recognized prospectively as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. As a result of the change in depreciation method, depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by approximately ¥188 million, and net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION and basic net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION per common share increased by ¥116 million and ¥0.84, respectively.
