Capcom Reduces 05 Fiscal Outlook Downward (PC)

Western sales partially to blame

by David Radd on Friday, March 31, 2006

Capcom today revised the financial forecast for the year ending March 31, 2006. This means a reduction in gross income to ¥6.4 billion ($54.5 million), compared to the previously reported ¥7.4 billion ($63 million). Net income has been revised downward as a result, down to ¥6.5 billion ($55.3 million) from ¥8.9 billion ($75.7 million).

Part of this was blamed on a tax audit of ¥1.7 billion ($14.5 million), where local authorities claim Capcom did not report ¥5.1 billion ($43.4 million) in taxable income during a five-year period. Capcom contests this and is appealing the bureau's findings. Capcom also said that weak sales in North America and Europe softened profits.
