FY2013 Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Fact Book 2021

The 2021 Fact Book presents a comprehensive overview of Bandai Namco Holdings’ strategic direction, emphasizing its transformation into a globally integrated entertainment conglomerate and its commitment to corporate social responsibility. Central to the narrative is the thesis that sustained growth across toys, video games, animation and amusement can be achieved through diversified product portfolios, expansive international operations, and proactive sustainability initiatives. The company’s evolution is traced from a collection of independent toy, arcade‑machine and media firms to a unified group after the 2005‑2007 merger of Bandai and Namco. Key milestones include the launch of flagship lines such as Gundam models (over 500 million units shipped), Tamagotchi (exceeding 20 million units), and Zatchbell Battle (300 million units), as well as the development of major video‑game franchises—TEKKEN, DARK SOULS III and Tales—collectively surpassing 50 million sales. International expansion is evident through subsidiaries and regional headquarters in North America, Europe and Asia, reinforced by repeated listings on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and industry recognitions such as Cannes Best Actor and TSE awards. Environmental and social performance data for fiscal year 2021 highlight a suite of CSR actions, including CO₂ reduction targets, supply‑chain safety measures and work‑life‑balance programmes, all framed within the “NEXT STAGE” mid‑term plan aimed at deepening engagement with a mature fan base and broadening cross‑media offerings. The Fact Book thus underscores Bandai Namco’s dual focus on market leadership and sustainable corporate practices across a worldwide footprint and multiple entertainment segments.
