Market (Overall)ยทUpdated Mar 17, 2026 by Bandai Namco
Bandai Namco Group achieved record-high net sales of 772 billion yen for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 2024, yet operating profit declined 26% year-over-year to 78.2 billion yen.
The company lowered its full-year operating profit forecast to 82 billion yen while maintaining a target of 1 trillion yen in total net sales for the fiscal period.
Profit compression was driven by a rigorous reevaluation of the digital gaming portfolio, leading to significant valuation and disposal losses as the company shifts toward stricter title screening.
The Toys and Hobby segment remains a primary growth driver, with a revised full-year profit forecast of 76 billion yen fueled by strong demand for Gundam, Dragon Ball, and One Piece products.
To strengthen its financial position during this restructuring, the company initiated the partial sale of its investment securities in Toei Animation.
The Amusement segment reported positive momentum, evidenced by a 2.4% increase in existing facility sales within Japan.
