Konami : Report FY2022

Fiscal 2022 Konami Group Report

April 1, 2021 - March 31, 2022

KONAMI HOLDINGS CORPORATION

To Our Shareholders

I sincerely hope that this report finds our shareholders in good health and happiness.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your continued and generous support.

Since its founding in 1969, the Konami Group has always had a pioneering spirit and the foresight to understand the world's needs. By keeping abreast of the changing trends and technologies, it has continued to read the waves and ride them at their peak.

Although the social landscape is facing major changes, the Digital Entertainment business continued to see a strong performance in fiscal 2021, while the Amusement business, Gaming & Systems business, and the Sports business steadily recovered from the impact of COVID-19. Due to this growth and recovery, we not only achieved record high business profits for the second consecutive year, we also achieved ¥80 billion in profit for the first time, and profits for the year reached a record high.

As a result of this strong financial performance, the total dividend for the year will be ¥123.50 per share, an increase of ¥50.50 compared to the previous fiscal year. We strive to improve financial performance and further increase dividends through strategic investments, such as in the human resources essential for future growth, the highest level of environment for research and development that aligns with the new normal of this era, and new technology.

The development of the entertainment business field and its potential continues to expand due to factors including the evolution of technology and services-with examples including artificial intelligence (AI), fifth and sixth generation mobile communications (5G/6G), virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and the metaverse-the advancement of electronics such as mobile devices and console games, and our entry into new distribution platforms that utilize cloud technology. In addition, the growing trend toward digitalization and online consumption has led to the expansion of businesses with recurring revenues, creating an environment for improved profitability and robust business results.

In the field of sports, there has been an increasing importance placed on extending life expectancy in an aging society.

Amid the idea that the achievement of wellbeing is a major issue in a sustainable society, maintaining health through exercise holds a key social significance and KONAMI's role and level of responsibility in providing this are also increasing.

In such an environment, and as a group that provides products and services in both entertainment and sports, our target business markets are showing significant growth, with opportunities for further expansion on the rise as well.

Furthermore, we must carry out management with an even greater awareness of society and the environment in order to achieve long-term growth and develop together with society. We announced our endorsement of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in May 2022 and began disclosing information in line with the recommendations. We will also continue to further implement sustainability initiatives, such as promoting diversity.

Under the approval of the General Shareholders' Meeting held on June 28, 2022, we will change our trade name to KONAMI GROUP CORPORATION on July 1, 2022. Going for- ward, KONAMI group companies will work together to take on new challenges with the aim of achieving further growth as a sustainable company.

As we work toward this goal, we would like to ask for the continued support of all of our shareholders.

Kimihiko Higashio Representative Director, President

In the Gaming & Systems Business, sales were strong for each of our core slot machine products, DIMENSION 27™ and DIMENSION 49™, and each title of their game content. Furthermore, Money Klip™, which was provided to Resorts World Las Vegas, a major IR facility that opened last year, received a great deal of attention as the first case of a cashless system being introduced in Las Vegas.

In the Sports Business, we are promoting the expansion of our Konami Sports Online Fitness service, in which customers can participate from anywhere. Regarding outsourced facilities, we launched new facilities, such as sports facilities in Toyonaka City, Osaka; Chuo-ku, Tokyo; and Yoshinogari Town, Saga Prefecture, using our know-how accumulated through sports club operation over many years.

Cutting-Edge IT Technology and Coaching Techniques Unite

Swimming Schools Evolve through "Undo Juku Digital Note"

Konami Sports launched "Undo Juku Digital Note" services at "Undo Juku" swimming schools in April 2022.

"Undo Juku Digital Note" is a new digital service that helps children learn in a fun way by merging Sony Network Communications Inc.'s "Smart Swimming Lesson System," which utilizes images and AI to enhance the effects of practice, with the coaching techniques of Konami Sports Club instructors. This service supports children's active awareness by enabling them to review their own swimming practice through a device installed on the poolside, and also watch demonstration videos through a hand- held device, thus expanding the scope of conventional instruc- tion. The service will be successively rolled out to "Undo Juku" swimming schools nationwide with the plan to introduce it to approximately 100 schools by the end of March 2023.

We will continue to engage in supporting children's growth by providing high-quality services that align with society where digital technology continues to evolve.
