TOMY Company reported a 3.9% decline in net income to ¥8.13 billion ($52.8 million) for the six months ended September, as weakening US demand offset robust domestic trading card sales. The Tokyo-based toymaker posted revenue of ¥127.88 billion ($830 million), up 5.9% from a year earlier.
Operating profit fell 5.1% to ¥11.73 billion ($76.1 million) as the company increased spending on marketing and personnel investments, according to a statement released Monday. The decline came despite strong gross profit growth tied to higher sales volumes.
Japan operations proved resilient, with revenue advancing 5.2% to ¥110.18 billion ($715 million). Trading card games surged on collaborations with VTuber group Nijisanji and expanded distribution of Disney Lorcana. The Tomica vehicle line gained traction through new block series and premium collector editions targeting adult enthusiasts.
The Americas segment deteriorated sharply, with revenue dropping 6.3% to ¥34.22 billion ($222 million) and operating profit sliding 27.2% to ¥1.24 billion ($8 million). Tariff concerns dampened toy market consumption, while baby product sales contracted 12%.
For the full year ending March 2026, TOMY projects revenue of ¥260 billion ($1.69 billion), up 3.9%, but operating profit is expected to fall 11.5% to ¥22 billion ($143 million) amid continued pressure in overseas markets.
