(Editor’s note: Before we dive in, I’ll remind viewers that Square Enix operates on a different fiscal year that ends March 31st. As a result, while most other companies are reporting their first quarter finances this month, Square Enix is on Q4 for the 2016 fiscal year. This is not a mistake on our part)
Square Enix has released its end of year results for the 2016 fiscal year, and the results are pretty positive across the board. Net sales grew 27.5% over the same period last year while operating income boosted 58% and normal income rose 49%.
Much of Square Enix’s success has been attributed to the strong releases of mobile titles alongside the console releases of Rise of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 3. Over on the MMO side, the company also had a fair amount of praise for the continued success of Final Fantasy XIV and Dragon Quest X. While sales of merchandise derived from IPs increased, sales from comic books remained sluggish compared to last year.
Square Enix has a slew of titles ready to launch over the next year, including Rise of the Tomb Raider (PS4), Final Fantasy XV, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Dragon Quest Heroes II, Kingdom Hearts 2.8, World of Final Fantasy, and more.
