Profit margins of The Pokémon Company group in the year to February 2017, implied by Nintendo’s affiliate table

Year to March 2017 (TPC year to February 2017) to year to March 2026

EstimateMargins from a filed table with estimated adjustments; the revenue base is the weak point.

What this is

Profit margins of The Pokémon Company group in the year to February 2017, implied by Nintendo’s affiliate table: pretax about 45–49%, net about 30–33%.

How it’s built

  1. Pretax profit of ¥61.3–63.3bn and net profit of ¥41.3–43.3bn, after removing the Mariners and two small affiliates.
  2. Divided by estimated group revenue of ¥129.9–135.8bn.

What we assumed

  • The Mariners and two small affiliates are removed using vendor estimates.Nintendo’s table combines all four affiliates; Forbes data are the only club figures available.
  • Group revenue is ¥130–136bn.Nintendo’s ¥166.1bn table less the Mariners and ¥1–5bn assumed for the two small affiliates.

Sanity check

Using profit implied by Nintendo’s share instead, the net margin would be 46–51%. Which basis applies changes 2017–2026 growth from about 4.5 to 8.1 times.

Where it comes from

  2. TPC block pretax = 62,026 − club (−1,404…+216,) − Warpstar/PUX (100–500) = ¥61.3–63.3bn = 45.1–48.8% of ¥129.9–135.8bn (printed 62,026/166,109 = 37.3%)
  3. net 42,045 less the same = ¥41.3–43.3
