Completed-period sales and profit
Square Enix reported net sales of ¥163.179 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2026, up 21.9% from ¥133.895 billion a year earlier. Group operating income increased 42.2% to ¥38.793 billion, while profit attributable to owners of the parent rose 184.2% to ¥28.566 billion.
The November 11 release covers the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. Those are completed-period results, rather than calendar-year 2026 forecasts or revenue earned after September 30. All amounts here are yen; no currency conversion or share-price reaction is inferred.
What the company says supported game sales
In its HD Games business, Square Enix cites stronger new-title and catalog sales, including Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Windows, and The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. That is the issuer's explanation of performance, not an independently measured attribution of each game's contribution.
The release does not provide standalone unit totals or a revenue split for those individual games. It should not be read as a new port announcement, a launch-date update for another title or proof that every part of the group improved: the company reports lower sales and operating income in Merchandising.
Annual expectations were raised; dividend forecasts were unchanged
For the year ending March 31, 2027, Square Enix raised its sales forecast to ¥310 billion from ¥298 billion, operating income to ¥59 billion from ¥49 billion, and parent-owner profit to ¥37 billion from ¥31 billion. These revisions compare the new forecasts with the company's earlier forecasts, not with the prior year's actual results.
The issuer attributes the revision mainly to stronger first-half Digital Entertainment performance. Its dividend forecasts remain ¥18 per share for the interim dividend and ¥25 at year-end. Forecasts remain subject to uncertainty and are not completed-year results or confirmed shareholder payment dates.
