SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD.
Publication
The Company publishes game-related books including comic magazines, comic books and game strategy books. In the
period under review, the Company published monthly magazines “SHONEN GANGAN,” “GANGAN POWERED,”
“G FANTASY,” “GANGAN WING” and “YOUNG GANGAN,” as well as comic collections taken from regular monthly
magazine serials and various game strategy books. Segment sales were robust, driven by such comic book collections as
the major hit “FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST,” which has now
surpassed total sales of 20 million copies. Consequently,
sales in the Publication segment totaled ¥9 billion (down
10.3% from the previous fiscal year results), and operating
income amounted to ¥2 billion (down 16.0%, ditto).
Amusement
This segment includes all the businesses of the Taito Group, which was included in the Company’s scope of consolidation
from the end of September 2005. These businesses include the operation of amusement centers and rental of coin-
operated game machines business, the products and merchandise business, the content services business and others.
Taito Group’s operating results are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income from October 2005.
During the period under review, the mainstay amusement center operations business focused on developing new
amusement facilities, including family amusement centers within multipurpose
commercial complexes and large-scale amusement centers that contain such
facilities as bowling centers.
