Balance Sheet Highlights - At June 30, 2025 vs December 31, 2024

  • Total cash and cash equivalents were $49.2 million at June 30, 2025 compared with $34.7 million at December 31, 2024
  • Inventories were $101.3 million at June 30, 2025 up from $92.6 million at December 31, 2024
  • Total debt was $256.6 million at June 30, 2025 versus $182.8 million at December 31, 2024. Total debt includes the amount outstanding under the company's term loan facility, net of unamortized discounts, revolving line of credit and equipment finance loan.

Outlook for 2025

The Company's current outlook includes the anticipated impact of the most recent tariff rates. However, it does not account for any further tariff actions, as the impacts of such actions remain uncertain.

The Company provided comments on the following expectations regarding its outlook for the second half of 2025, as follows:

  • Financial performance to improve compared with the first half;
  • Net sales to be down high single-digits compared with the second half of 2024;
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the mid- to high single-digits range; and,
  • Q4 results to ramp up over Q3.

*Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of historical adjusted net income (loss), adjusted income (loss) per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA, to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures� section of this press release. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA outlook to the corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as we are unable to provide reconciling information with respect to certain items. However, for the second half of 2025 the company expects equity-based compensation of approximately $8 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $27 million and interest expense of approximately $11 million, each of which is a reconciling item to net loss. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the attached reconciliations for more information.

Conference Call and Webcast

The company will host a conference call at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time) today, August 7, 2025, to further discuss its first quarter results and business update. A live webcast and a replay of the event will be available on the Investor Relations section on the company’s website at investor.funko.com. The replay of the webcast will be available for one year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains references to non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net (loss) income, including per share amounts, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net (loss) income margin, which are financial measures that are not prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Management uses these measures internally for evaluating its operating performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financials projections, to assess incentive compensation for our employees, and to evaluate our capacity to expand our business. The company's management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information regarding operational performance because it enhances an investor's overall understanding of the financial results for the company's core business. Additionally, it provides a basis for the comparison of the financial results for the company's core business between current, past and future periods as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. The company also believes that including adjusted EBITDA and the other non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release is appropriate to provide additional information to investors and help to compare against other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should be considered only as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of adjusted net (loss) income, including per share amounts, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner.

Detailed reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables following this release.
