<p>The company said the past year is the seventh consecutive year of operating income growth and the fourth year in a row of record-high profits.</p>
<p>Sales for the fiscal year ended March 31 were 82 billion yen ($770 million), down 18 percent compared to the previous year, while operating income was up 26 percent to 23 billion yen.</p>
<p>The company attributed the profit increase to high-margin digital sales. Games including <em>Monster Hunter World: Iceborne</em>, and catalog sales of <em>Resident Evil 2</em> and <em>Devil May Cry 5</em> helped drive sales during the year. Capcom’s new pachislot game <em>Shin Onimusha</em> also experienced better than expected sales.</p>
<p>For the current fiscal year, Capcom expects net sales of 85 billion yen and operating income of 26 billion yen.</p>
