First-half net sales for JAKKS Pacific, Inc. were $238.7 million, a year-over-year decrease of 13.0%, primarily attributable to a lack of new content-related product launches, which occurred in the first half of last year.

Management Commentary“The first half of 2024 closes with our delivering solid results anchored by our evergreen business of time-tested toy categories and play patterns,” said Stephen Berman, CEO of JAKKS Pacific, Inc. “A lack of new content releases created unfavorable topline comparisons with prior year, but our base business continued to perform and adapt in an ever-changing marketplace.

“We are pleased with our progress to date and our positioning and preparation for the new product we’re shipping in the latter half of the year. Exciting new launches supporting Moana 2, releasing in theatres this November, and Sonic the Hedgehog™ 3, releasing in theaters this December will be the cornerstones of the broad retail support we have secured with our top customers globally. We are also in the middle of the exciting initial launch of our new line of products inspired by “The Simpsons,” the launch of our Authentic Brands Group business as well as several other new IP and category extensions.”

Second Quarter 2024 HighlightsThe Dolls, Role-Play/Dress-Up division generated net sales of $63.6 million, up 6.6% from $59.7 million last year. The Action Play & Collectibles division generated net sales of $36.6 million, down 30.5% from $52.6 million last year.

For the first half, North America was down 8%, attributable to the impact of lower contribution from product lines launched in support of new entertainment content and lower Costume sales. International was down 31%, primarily due to orders slipping into the following quarter due to logistics-related issues but also negatively impacted by the content slate comparison with the prior year.

Balance Sheet HighlightsThe Company’s cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) totaled $17.9 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $32.4 million as of June 30, 2023, and $72.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

Inventory totaled $51.3 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $65.1 million as of June 30, 2023, and $52.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures:In addition to the preliminary results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP included in this release, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) which are non-GAAP metrics that exclude various items that are detailed in the financial tables and accompanying footnotes reconciling GAAP to non-GAAP results contained in this release. These schedules provide certain information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss), which may be considered non-GAAP financial measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP financial measures below, as required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization and adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-cash charges, such as reorganization expenses and restricted stock compensation expense. Net income (loss) is similarly adjusted and tax-effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are not recognized financial measures under GAAP, but we believe that they are useful in measuring our operating performance.

Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because the information may allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance and certain components of the Company’s results. In addition, the Company believes that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s ability to make period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating results.

Investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. This information should be considered in addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP results. The Company has reconciled the non-GAAP financial information included in this release to the nearest GAAP measures. In addition, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
