Sega Sammy has published its FY26 results for the period ending 31 March, 2026.
Overall sales at the company increased 14% to JPY 487.5bn (US$3.1bn), but operating income decreased 2% to JPY 47.1bn.
The adjusted EBITDA fell 73% to JPY 16.6bn, and extraordinary losses amounted to JPY 58.8bn.
Most notably, the JPY 45bn net profit from last year turned into a JPY 5.7bn net loss this year.
This was primarily attributed to the impairment losses from Rovio and Stakelogic, the latter of which was the topic of a separate letter to shareholders.
Sega Sammy explained that, regarding Stakelogic: “The acquisition of which was announced in 2024, the business environment in the Netherlands, which was its primary market, has deteriorated at a faster pace than anticipated due to stricter regulations, resulting in lower profitability than originally projected at the time of the acquisition.”
However, looking at the individual and relevant parts of the extensive Sega Sammy business can help paint a more accurate picture of operations.
