Square Enix logo - Image 1Square Enix has released its Q1 financial numbers and sales took a significant dip from last year.

Strangely enough, the company showed an increase in profits compared to the same period last year. Details after the jump.

Square Enix logo - Image 1Square Enix‘s overall sales are down in Q1 of this fiscal year, but that doesn’t mean the company is losing money. As a matter of fact, it’s gaining more profits compared to the same period last year.

Overall revenues fell 9.3 percent to US$ 275.3 million. Profits, however, jumped up to US$ 26.7 from the previous fiscal cycle’s US$ 25.3, but the Japanese publisher did not explain why.

Regional sales were down in Europe and Asia, but the North American market is still responding well, posting a slight increase from US$23.8 million last year to US$ 24.4 million this year.

From a sectoral standpoint, Square Enix’s sales are down in both online and offline portfolios. Similar slight falls were also noted for the company’s mobile and amusement businesses.
