Nintendo's equity-method income by quarter in the year to March 2017

Year to March 2017 quarters

FiledArithmetic on the company's filings.

Found in one pass only. The research team reads every source twice, independently; this record turned up in one reading but not the other, so treat it as less certain than its grade.

What this is

Nintendo's equity-method income by quarter in the year to March 2017: ¥0.04bn in April–June, ¥12.0bn in July–September, ¥4.8bn in October–December and ¥3.5bn in January–March.

How it’s built

  1. Nintendo reports running totals for three, six, nine and twelve months; each quarter is the difference between successive totals.
  2. From Nintendo's quarterly results summaries.

What we assumed

  • The July–September jump is mostly The Pokémon Company.The line covers all of Nintendo's affiliates, but TPC is by far the largest and Pokémon GO launched that July.

Sanity check

The four quarters add to ¥20.3bn, the full-year figure; July–September alone was 59% of it.

The value

  • Q1 36; Q2 11,988; Q3 4,757; Q4 3,490
