Bandai Namco Holdings reported record first-half results for the fiscal year ending March 2027, with profit growth driven by Toy and Hobby rather than Digital. The company and its subsidiaries are also handling a disclosed unauthorized access incident at logistics subsidiary Bandai Logipal affecting Ichiban Kuji ONLINE delivery data.
Bandai Namco Holdings reported record first-half results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 on November 10, 2026. Net sales rose 13.1% year-on-year to 728.4 billion yen and operating profit rose 27.3% to 134.3 billion yen. The Toy and Hobby segment carried the result: net sales of 412.0 billion yen, up 29.6%, and segment profit of 101.1 billion yen, up 55.4%. Digital net sales fell 6.1% to 217.4 billion yen, and segment profit was 27.8 billion yen. The earnings engine behind the forecast raise is Gunpla, cards, and capsule toys, not games.
Two weeks earlier, on October 26, the company disclosed a security incident. Bandai Namco Holdings, BANDAI SPIRITS, and Bandai Logipal said unauthorized access to a Bandai Logipal logistics server was found on October 21. Traces of suspicious access turned up the next day on a server storing delivery information for Ichiban Kuji ONLINE, which BANDAI SPIRITS outsources to the subsidiary. Names, addresses, and phone numbers may have leaked.
The two stories sit at different layers of the same group. The record profit comes from physical goods and the retail pipeline around them. The breach sits in the logistics layer that Ichiban Kuji ONLINE depends on. The company can confirm access traces but has not counted who is affected, and it shut the shipping system rather than let deliveries continue.
