NACON Achieves 4.5% Increase in Sales for Q2 2025-26
NACON is excited to announce its impressive consolidated sales figures for the first half of the 2025/26 financial year. The company recorded sales of €46.8 million for the second quarter, marking a notable 4.5% increase compared to the previous year. This growth underscores the company’s commitment to innovation in the gaming sector.
Strong Performance in Gaming Sector
During the second quarter, NACON saw gaming sales soar by €8.8 million, achieving a remarkable increase of 31.7%, bringing the total to €36.7 million. This growth is credited to a robust performance in both newly released titles and strong sales from the existing back catalogue.
Highlights from the Catalogue
The "Catalogue" segment witnessed a stunning 52.5% growth, with sales reaching €22.8 million. This success comes despite a challenging comparative base from the previous year, attributed to the successful launch of titles like Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown TM.
Robust Back Catalogue Evolution
The back catalogue also showed promising results, increasing revenue by 7.8% to €14.0 million, demonstrating the durability and popularity of NACON’s existing games.
Challenges in Accessories Market
Despite the overall success, the accessories segment faced challenges, dropping 42.7% to €9.0 million. This decline was primarily due to increased customs duties affecting sales in the American market, which saw a significant 66% decrease.
Future Projections and Releases
NACON remains positive about the second half of the fiscal year. The company expects continued momentum driven by its upcoming releases including nearly a dozen new titles such as Dragonkin: The Banished TM and Greed Fall IITM.
Furthermore, NACON anticipates that their existing catalogue will sustain robust sales figures, especially as new products for platforms like the Switch TM 2 and Xbox Revolution X continue to attract gamers.
