What this is
Net profit of The Pokémon Company’s Tokyo parent company for the year to February 2016: ¥619m.
How it’s built
- Read from the company’s annual results notice in Japan’s official gazette, which carries the parent company’s summary accounts.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Parent company only: the international arm and other subsidiaries are not in it. It is the year before the Pokémon GO year, so it shows the parent's profit before that boost.
