Namco Bandai profits up in Q3 2012, as are year-end projections [Joystiq]

[DP ServBot]

Namco Bandai's financial statement for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 has been released, and while the report contains a lot of tables and numbers and figures, it actually has very few pictures, which was a problem for our exceedingly limited attention spans. We did our best, though, and after concentrating really hard and taking our Adult ADD medication, we were able to produce actual, honest-to-goodness business information.

For instance! For the 9 month period ending on December 31, 2011, Namco Bandai reports a net income (which is the amount of earned money left over after all operating expenses and taxes) of ¥16.3 billion, or about $210 million, which is a 34.3 percent increase over the same period last year.

The company predicts an additional ¥2.19 billion ($28.3 million) in net income over the course of Q4, (which runs from January 1 to March 31, 2012), wrapping up fiscal 2012 to the tune of ¥18.5 billion ($238.4 million) in net profit over the course of the fiscal year. Provided these predictions stand the test of time, Namco Bandai's performance in fiscal 2012 will be a 90 percent increase over its performance in fiscal 2011.

Whew! Now if you'll excuse us, we have cat videos to watch.Namco Bandai profits up in Q3 2012, as are year-end projections originally appeared on Joystiq on Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

I am sure that Dark Souls was a large contributer to their sales for that period since it came out in October. I hate how Namco cheaped out on the collectors edition and the way the online works for that game though. I sort of hope From Software switches to a different publisher for the next sequel.
