DeNA Reports Q2 Numbers [Social Games]

D

DeNA issued its financial report for the second quarter of this fiscal year today, and year-on-year, the numbers look pretty good: sales reached US$457 million for the quarter (which ended on September 30), which translates to a 28% plus year-on-year. Operating income hit US$203 million (+13%).

The situation doesn’t look as rosy when comparing how numbers changed from Q1 to Q2 this fiscal though: sales have been flat (+/-0%), and operating income even shrank by 3% (DeNA president Isao Moriyasu said the delay in rolling out first party games for Mobage in recent months was to blame).

DeNA’s full financial report for Q2 2011 can be downloaded from here (in English).
