Fiscal Year – MMO Fallout

January is upon us, and that can only mean one thing: the 2014 fiscal year is ending and the 2015 fiscal year is beginning, well for most people. This year MMO Fallout plans on expanding our coverage of quarterly reports with even more analysis, so now is as good a time as any to show off the anticipated schedule for this year’s coverage:

February: Q4 2014 Reports
May: Q1 2015 Reports
August: Q2 2015 Reports
November: Q3 2015 Reports

Presently MMO Fallout more heavily covers NCSoft, Perfect World Entertainment, Star Vault, with heavier coverage of Electronic Arts and unconfirmed other companies coming. I will be covering Square Enix, but only in their annual reports.

I will make a note in the actual report, but Square Enix’s fiscal year runs a little different from the other companies, so try not to be too quick in hitting those comments when you see “annual report for 2015 fiscal year” being published in May. Once again, Square Enix’s 2015 fiscal year roundup is published in May, as it covers April through March. Clear as mud? Good.

If you have any ideas for content you’d like to see added in the quarterly roundups, go ahead and drop a comment.

Square Enix has posted their financial results for the fiscal 2014 year ending March 31, 2014. In addition to a nearly five percent rise in net sales over the previous year, Square Enix also reports a 10.5 billion yen operating income ($100 million, approximately) compared to last year’s 6 billion yen loss. The boost in operating income is attributed to favorable sales from the Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, as well as continued success from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
