Market (Overall)ยทUpdated Mar 17, 2026 by Bandai Namco
Bandai Namco achieved record-high net sales of 1,050.2 billion yen for the fiscal year ending March 2024, though operating profit fell 22% year-over-year to 90.6 billion yen.
The profit decline was driven by the Digital business, which incurred significant valuation and disposal losses during a strategic portfolio revamp.
The Toys and Hobby segment served as the primary growth engine, fueled by strong demand for collectible cards, confectionery, and capsule toys among mature fan bases.
While home console titles like Armored Core VI and Tekken 8 performed well, the Digital segment's PC online games failed to meet internal performance targets.
The group forecasts a recovery for the fiscal year ending March 2025, targeting 1,080 billion yen in net sales and 115 billion yen in operating profit.
Future strategic initiatives include releasing Elden Ring downloadable content, expanding global e-commerce, and acquiring anime studios to strengthen IP creation capabilities.
The company is investing in physical fan engagement by constructing a 2,000-capacity live event hall in Shibuya to support its IP community strategy.
