Integrated Report 2024

Bandai Namco Holdings’ 2024 Integrated Report outlines a strategic vision centered on the "IP axis strategy," which leverages a portfolio of over 400 intellectual properties—including Gundam, PAC-MAN, and TEKKEN—to drive growth across toys, digital games, and visual media. The company’s primary thesis is that integrating physical and digital entertainment through the "ALL BANDAI NAMCO" concept creates sustainable, long-term value. By fostering direct connections with fans and utilizing a centralized "Data Universe" to analyze consumer behavior, the Group aims to maximize the lifecycle and global reach of its assets.

Financially, the company demonstrated resilience in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, achieving record-high net sales of ¥1,050.2 billion. While the Digital Business segment faced challenges from title valuation losses and extended development cycles, these were offset by robust performance in the Toys and Hobby and Amusement sectors. To address these operational hurdles, the Group is restructuring its development processes, investing in internal studios, and shifting toward a globally coordinated marketing model. A key objective is to increase the overseas sales ratio from approximately 28% to 50%, supported by localized product development and expanded international infrastructure.

The report also emphasizes a commitment to sustainability and governance as pillars of corporate longevity. The Group has transitioned to an Audit & Supervisory Committee structure to enhance board objectivity and has integrated ESG metrics, such as decarbonization targets and human rights due diligence, into its core business model. By aligning executive remuneration with sustainability-linked KPIs and prioritizing human capital development, the company seeks to maintain agility and ethical standards while navigating technological shifts and market competition. These efforts reflect a comprehensive strategy to balance short-term profitability with the long-term goal of delivering "Fun for All into the Future."
