DeNA’s Profit Falls Despite Solid Cash Position as It Signals Cautious Outlook for 2027

DeNA Co ( (JP:2432) ) has provided an announcement.

DeNA reported a 9.9% decline in revenue to ¥147.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, with operating profit down 35.5% to ¥18.7 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent falling 21.3% to ¥19.0 billion, as margins contracted and key profitability ratios weakened. Total assets decreased to ¥333.2 billion while equity attributable to owners of the parent slipped to ¥232.6 billion, yet the company maintained dividends, slightly increasing the annual payout to ¥66 per share, resulting in a higher payout ratio.

Cash and cash equivalents at year-end rose to ¥103.0 billion despite weaker operating cash flow, driven by positive investing cash flows and significant financing outflows, indicating active balance sheet management. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, DeNA forecasts a modest 4.3% increase in revenue to ¥154.0 billion but expects operating profit to decline nearly 20% to ¥15.0 billion, reflecting anticipated pressure on profitability even as it pursues stable growth, a development that stakeholders may view as signaling a cautious earnings outlook.
