Sales for the first quarter 2025-26: strong performance of the Gaming activity with an increase of 10.4%
"Catalogue" sales for the first quarter (April 1 – June 30) increased by 46.4% despite a limited editorial release. This momentum is driven in particular by Tour de France 2025TM and Pro Cycling Manager 25TM, whose sales increased by 25% and 35% respectively compared to last year.
The "Back Catalogue" (games released in previous fiscal years) performs well with sales equivalent to that of the first-quarter of 2024-25 at €14.0 million, in line with targets.
The 22% growth in "Accessories" sales in the European market, supported by the success of accessories dedicated to the Nintendo SwitchTM 2 and the XBOX Revolution X Unlimited controller, partially offset the slowdown in the U.S. market disrupted by customs duties. This activity shows a decrease to €10.8 million, mainly due to an unfavorable basis of comparison and the current weakness of the U. S. market.
Strong growth expected in the second quarter
The activity of the second quarter will be driven mainly by new releases.
July saw the release of 2 new games:
- Rugby LeagueTM 26 has been a huge success and is the 3rd largest launch of NACON in terms of value;
- Robocop makes his return in Robocop: Rogue City – Unfinished BusinessTM and achieves a User Score of over 80%.
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar CrownTM has been enhanced with a Season 4 featuring the Casino.
Hell is UsTM, a highly anticipated title, has already nearly one million wishlists. It will be available from September 4, 2025.
The second half of the year (October 1 – March 31) will see the release of nearly ten titles: Dragonkin: The BanishedTM, Styx: Blades of GreedTM, Edge of MemoriesTM, GreedFall IITM, Cricket26TM, RennsportTM, Endurance Motorsport SeriesTM, Gear-Club Unlimited 3TM.
The "Back Catalogue" should maintain a good level of activity.
The "Accessories" activity is expected to remain impacted during the semester by uncertainties in the American market. Europe, on the other hand, should benefit from a positive sales trend (driven by accessories for SwitchTM2, XBOX Revolution X Unlimited controller, and Revosim range).
Confirmation of targets for the fiscal year 2025-26
With its strong positions in its two complementary business areas, a busy line-up throughout the entire fiscal year, and numerous innovations in the Accessories business, NACON is confident in its ability to generate strong growth in the fiscal year 2025-26.
