The Pokemon IP is bigger than ever, and it really shows in The Pokemon Company’s latest financials.
According to a new filing in the Japanese government’s gazette Kanpo, TPC’s fiscal year ended on February 28, 2026 with:
- Net sales: 531 billion yen (US$3.3B) or + 29.3% on the year on a yen basis
- Operating profit: 144 billion yen (US$900M) or + 43.0%
- Net profit: 120 billion yen (US750M) or + 70.7%
All of these are record numbers for TPC, and keep in mind the yen-US$ conversion rate makes the sum look rather small in dollar terms.
In the fiscal in question, TPC released blockbuster Pokémon Legends: Z-A on the Nintendo Switch and continued to see ridiculous sales in its printed trading card business worldwide.
What is particularly striking is the big plus in net profit.
As a private company, TPC does not publish any statements on these numbers, but as I repeat every year, revenue sharing or any other internal arrangements between the company and its owners Nintendo, Creatures and Game Freak remain a mystery.
It is public that Nintendo holds 32% of voting rights in TPC.
