Japanese conglomerate Konami Corp posted a net profit of just above JPY32.26 billion (US$294.2 million) for the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, up 62.2 percent from the previous year. That was on revenue of JPY272.66 billion for the period, an increase of 3.7 percent compared with the previous year, according to a Thursday press release.
Group-wide operating profit for the period was JPY36.55 billion, an 18.0-percent increase year-on-year.
The company said revenues of some of its business segments were “impacted” from temporary closures due to restrictions linked to efforts to contain the further spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“However, strong performance of products and services in the digital entertainment business, including mobile games, computer and video games, and card games led to an increase in revenues and business profit,” it stated.
