Action:ReiteratedDate:02/01/26
The score is driven primarily by strong underlying profitability and a generally solid balance sheet, supported by attractive valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield). These positives are tempered by weak technical momentum (below key moving averages with negative MACD) and recent cash-flow volatility.
Positive Factors
High Profitability
Persistently high gross and operating margins reflect strong unit economics for digital products and effective cost structure. These margins support durable cash earnings, funding content investment and shareholder returns even if top-line growth moderates.
Conservative Balance Sheet
Low absolute leverage and sizable equity provide financial flexibility to fund game development, marketing or M&A without immediate refinancing risk. This conservative position helps absorb shocks and supports multi-year operational planning.
Established Core Franchise
A strong, long-lived IP with recurring in‑app monetization creates durable revenue streams and predictable user monetization. Consistent title engagement enables efficient re-monetization through events, collaborations and licensing over multiple years.
Negative Factors
Cash-Flow Volatility
Large swings in operating and free cash flow reduce predictability of internally generated funding for content and dividends. Over time this volatility can force either higher external financing or reduced reinvestment in the franchise ecosystem.
Revenue Concentration Risk
Heavy reliance on a single title concentrates product and demand risk: player fatigue, competitive hits or platform policy changes could disproportionately reduce revenue and margins, making long-term stability sensitive to one game’s lifecycle.
Rising Leverage Trend
Although leverage remains modest, the step-up in debt reduces optionality and increases interest and refinancing exposure if the trend continues. Coupled with cash-flow swings, rising leverage could constrain strategic investments or dividend policy.

Mixi Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financials are solid overall: strong profitability (TTM gross margin ~67%, EBIT margin ~15.7%, net margin ~11%) and a conservative balance sheet (TTM debt-to-equity ~0.26x) support the score. The main offset is cash-flow volatility, with TTM operating cash flow notably weaker than FY2025 and free cash flow down materially (~-27%), plus a step-up in leverage versus FY2025.
Income Statement
78
Positive
TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) results show steady top-line momentum (revenue up ~4.9%) with strong profitability: gross margin ~67% and solid operating profitability (EBIT margin ~15.7%, EBITDA margin ~19.6%). Net margin is healthy at ~11%, and earnings are materially stronger than FY2024 (which had much lower net profitability). The main weakness is some margin compression versus the most recent annual period (FY2025) where operating and EBITDA margins were higher, suggesting incremental costs or mix pressure.
Balance Sheet
83
Very Positive
The balance sheet is conservatively positioned with modest leverage: debt is ~0.26x equity in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), and equity is large relative to the asset base. Returns on shareholder capital are stable around ~9.8% (TTM and FY2025), reflecting a reasonably efficient capital profile for the business. The key watch-out is the noticeable increase in debt versus FY2025 (debt-to-equity rising from ~0.07x to ~0.26x), which reduces flexibility if it continues.
Cash Flow
56
Neutral
Cash generation is mixed. TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) free cash flow is positive (~10.6B) and covers a meaningful portion of earnings (free cash flow is ~77% of net income), which is a constructive quality signal. However, TTM operating cash flow is much weaker than the prior annual period (down sharply from FY2025), and free cash flow declined materially (about -27% growth). This volatility in cash conversion is the primary weakness and raises questions about working-capital or timing effects.

MIXI Delivers Modest Sales Growth but Lower Profits, Keeps Full-Year Outlook and Dividend Unchanged
Jan 30, 2026

MIXI reported consolidated net sales of ¥116.4 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, up 5.5% year on year, while EBITDA fell 13.0% and operating income dropped 22.7%, signaling rising costs or profit pressure despite modest top-line growth. Profit attributable to owners of the parent edged up 1.4% to ¥10.6 billion, and basic earnings per share rose to ¥158.57, supported in part by a lower average share count, even as the equity ratio weakened to 66.3% following a balance-sheet expansion and reduced net assets. The company kept its full-year forecast unchanged, projecting 8.5% growth in net sales to ¥168.0 billion but double-digit declines in EBITDA, operating income, and net profit, indicating expectations of continued margin compression. MIXI plans to maintain an annual dividend of ¥120 per share for the year ending March 31, 2026, matching the prior year, suggesting a commitment to shareholder returns despite forecast profit declines. The scope of consolidation expanded to include six new subsidiaries, including PointsBet Holdings Limited, underscoring MIXI’s ongoing investment and portfolio-expansion strategy, which may weigh on short-term earnings but could reshape its growth profile over the longer term.
