Today Square-Enix announced their earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006.  Compared to the previous year, the company has reported a 14% increase in profits from 14.932 billion yen last year, to 17.076 billion yen this year.

attributes this increase to the company's acquisition of Taito, and the recent success of Final Fantasy XII in Japan.

 

However, the company's operating income took a 40% nosedive, from 26.4 billion yen last year, to about 15.5 billion yen this year.  The reason for this, says Square-Enix, has to do with marketing and salary costs.

 

As for the future, the company predicts a 21% increase in sales over the next year, which would result in an additional 150 billion yen, although they also predict net profit to drop by 11 billion yen.
