What this is
Net loss of The Pokémon Company’s Tokyo parent company alone for the year to February 2012: ¥395m.
How it’s built
- From the company’s annual results notices in Japan’s official gazette, as transcribed in a table on a Japanese investing blog covering 1999–2016 (amounts converted to millions of yen).
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
A second transcription of the gazette by the same blog gives the same loss. The research links it to set-up costs for new Pokémon Center companies and stores.
