GENDA Co. doubled its revenue to ¥111.79 billion ($745.3 million) for the fiscal year ended January 2025, though net profit fell 20.9% to ¥3.3 billion ($22 million).
The Tokyo-based entertainment conglomerate reported a 48.3% jump in operating profit to ¥7.97 billion ($53.1 million), driven by record performances from its core business units. Both the “GiGO” arcade division and “Karaoke BanBan” chain achieved their highest profits since establishment.
GENDA aggressively expanded its footprint through strategic acquisitions, adding 60 new arcade locations in Japan and establishing a significant presence in the U.S. market. The company acquired National Entertainment Network in November 2024, which operates approximately 10,000 unmanned game corners across America.
The integration of arcade facilities with karaoke venues has created successful synergies, with the first hybrid “GiGO Kuwana” location opening in December 2024. GENDA also strengthened vertical integration by acquiring companies in the prize merchandise and liquor distribution sectors.
By January 2025, GENDA’s entertainment platform had grown to approximately 11,800 locations worldwide, up from 843 locations a year earlier. The company forecasts revenue will rise 40.4% to ¥157 billion in fiscal 2026, with net profit projected to increase 51.3% to ¥5 billion.
