Although they have a new Kiseki game planned for release and a bunch of Clouded Leopard ports, Falcom is forecasting a year-over-year drop in both revenue and profit through September 2022 because of the sales weakness of Kuro no Kiseki and the lack of new NIS America releases by next September:
Falcom Revenue by Region (Figures in Thousand JPY):
Previous Fiscal Year (October 1, 2019 - September 30, 2020):
Japan: 2,021,143 (81%)
Asia: 100,881 (4%)
North America + Europe: 374,561 (15%)
Total: 2,496,586
Current Fiscal Year (October 1, 2020 - September 30, 2021):
Japan: 1,415,595 (57%)
Asia: 387,510 (16%)
North America + Europe: 674,848 (27%)
Total: 2,477,954
Japan is rapidly declining as Falcom's core userbase. 43% of Falcom's revenue now stems from OUTSIDE Japan. I think Falcom will continue on this trajectory moving forward, making steps to further prioritize the worldwide market.
Falcom Revenue by Type (Figures in Thousand JPY):
Previous Fiscal Year (October 1, 2019 - September 30, 2020):
Product Division: 1,041,417 (42%)
Licensing: 1,455,169 (58%)
Total: 2,496,586
Current Fiscal Year (October 1, 2020 - September 30, 2021):
Product Division: 667,701 (27%)
Licensing: 1,810,252 (73%)
Total: 2,477,954
Falcom's revenue from licensing out their products also jumped dramatically this fiscal year. This includes the partnerships with Clouded Leopard Entertainment & NIS America, along with the Kiseki Anime and the smartphone contract they have.
Falcom Major Partnership Revenue (Figures in Thousand JPY):
Previous Fiscal Year (October 1, 2019 - September 30, 2020):
Konami Digital Entertainment: 866,742 (34.7%)
NIS America: 220,138 (8.8%)
Clouded Leopard Entertainment: 320,036 (12.8%)
Current Fiscal Year (October 1, 2020 - September 30, 2021):
Konami Digital Entertainment: 553,936 (22.4%)
NIS America: 471,370 (19.0%)
Clouded Leopard Entertainment: 311,305 (12.6%)
You can see how much NIS America jumped in importance for Falcom this fiscal year. Clouded Leopard remained static YOY.
Strategic Changes & Tidbits:
"「軌跡」シリーズ最新作を発売、「軌跡」シリーズは累計販売本数600万"
Released the latest work of the "Trails" series, and the Cumulative sales of the "Trails" series is 6 million.
"Nintendo Switch向けゲームソフトについて、2022年より国内で自社展開も進める"
Regarding game software for Nintendo Switch, we will promote in-house development in Japan from 2022
Nayuta will be their first in-house developed title:
It also appears that Falcom plans to release the four missing Trails games in the West after September 30, 2022:
We only had "Fall 2022" for Trails from Zero before, so now it's likely we may see it in October or November.
