Imagineer Co. raised its full-year profit forecast after investment sales and dividend income exceeded expectations, prompting the Tokyo-based game developer to boost its shareholder payout.
The company now expects net income of ¥590 million ($3.9 million) for the fiscal year ending March 2025, up 28% from its previous projection and 42% higher than last year’s result. Revenue is forecast at ¥6.46 billion, a 4.1% increase from earlier guidance.
Imagineer maintained its operating profit forecast at ¥450 million while lifting its ordinary profit estimate by 34% to ¥900 million. The company attributed the improved outlook to better-than-expected gains from investment securities sales and dividend income.
Following the improved performance, Imagineer plans to pay a year-end dividend of ¥32.50 per share, up from the previously announced ¥22.50. The new payout includes a special dividend of ¥10 per share.
The company, listed on Tokyo’s stock exchange under code 4644, has seen its stock rise about 15% this year through March 25.
