  • Toy revenue declined by $91.3 million or 20.9% to $346.3 million primarily driven by a decline in Toy Gross Product Sales1.
  • Toy Gross Product Sales1 declined by $94.4 million or 19.5%, to $390.0 million from $484.4 million. Constant Currency Toy Gross Product Sales1 declined by $96.7 million or 20.0% to $387.7 million, down from $484.4 million.
  • The decline in Toy Gross Product Sales1 was a result of lower order volume, as customers focused on reducing their retail inventory levels carried forward from Q4 2022. In comparison, Toy Gross Product Sales1 in 2022 was supported by customers ordering earlier in the year.
  • Sales Allowances decreased by $3.1 million to $43.7 million. As a percentage of Toy Gross Product Sales1, Sales Allowances increased by 1.5% to 11.2% from 9.7%, primarily driven by geographic and customer mix.
  • Operating Income was $23.8 million compared to $62.6 million, representing a decrease of $38.8 million.
  • Operating Margin was 6.9% compared to 14.3%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 was 13.8% compared to 19.0%. Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 declined primarily as a result of lower Operating Margin. The decline was due to lower Toy revenue relative to administrative and marketing expenses, partially offset by higher gross margin.

  • Entertainment revenue increased by $5.5 million or 19.4% to $33.9 million, from higher distribution revenue due to new content deliveries of Vida the Vet, Rubble & Crew and Unicorn Academy. Also contributing to the increase was the Company’s share of revenue related to the continued distribution of PAW Patrol: The Movie. Licensing and merchandising revenue declined for the period. Constant Currency Entertainment Revenue1 increased by $5.6 million or 19.7% to $34.0 million, from $28.4 million.

  • Adjusted Operating Margin1 decreased by 15.3% from 63.4% to 48.1%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Free Cash Flow1 was $(40.3) million compared to $4.7 million.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had unutilized liquidity of $1,063.5 million, comprised of $554.9 million in Cash and cash equivalents and $508.6 million under the Company’s credit facilities.

On March 10, 2023, the Company entered into an automatic share repurchase plan with its designated broker to effect the purchase of subordinate voting shares under the NCIB. The Company repurchased and cancelled 397,700 subordinate voting shares during the first half of 2023 for proceeds of $10.5 million.

The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding as at June 30, 2023 were 103.7 million and 105.6 million, compared to 102.9 million and 106.3 million in the prior year, respectively.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of C$0.06 per outstanding subordinate voting share and multiple voting share, payable on October 13, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 29, 2023. The dividend is designated to be an eligible dividend for purposes of section 89(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The DRIP will provide Spin Master’s eligible shareholders with the opportunity to have all or a portion of the cash dividends declared on their subordinate voting shares or multiple voting shares automatically reinvested into additional subordinate voting shares of the Company (the “Reinvestment Shares”) on an ongoing basis.

Participants in the DRIP will, until further notice, acquire Reinvestment Shares issued from treasury (a “Treasury Purchase”) at a price equal to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s subordinate voting shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the dividend payment date (the “Average Market Price”). Spin Master will have the discretion, and in accordance with the DRIP, to fund the DRIP with subordinate voting shares acquired on the open market.

To participate in the DRIP, registered shareholders must deliver a properly completed enrollment form to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Agent”) at a minimum five (5) business days before a dividend record date. Beneficial shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should contact their financial advisor, broker, investment dealer, bank, financial institution or other intermediary through which they hold subordinate voting shares or multiple voting shares to inquire about the applicable enrollment deadline and to request enrollment in the DRIP.

No commissions, service charges or brokerage fees will be payable by participants in connection with the acquisition of Reinvestment Shares under the DRIP. However, beneficial shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP through their financial advisor, broker, investment dealer, bank, financial institution or other intermediary should consult that intermediary to confirm what fees, if any, the nominee may charge to enroll in the DRIP on their behalf or whether the nominee’s policies might result in any costs otherwise becoming payable by the beneficial shareholder. Commissions, service charges, brokerage fees and other administrative fees may be payable in connection with the termination of participation in the DRIP or the withdrawal or disposition of Reinvestment Shares.

Participation in the DRIP does not relieve shareholders of any liability for taxes that may be payable in respect of dividends that are reinvested in Reinvestment Shares. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors concerning the tax implications of their participation in the DRIP having regard to their particular circumstances. Shareholders resident outside of Canada will not be eligible to participate in the DRIP.

  • Constant Currency Digital Games Revenue
  • Constant Currency Entertainment Revenue
  • Revenue, excluding PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie Distribution Revenue
  • Constant Currency Revenue
  • Adjusted EBITDA
  • Adjusted Operating Income
  • Adjusted Net Income
  • Free Cash Flow

Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Additionally, references are made in this Press Release to the following terms, each of which is a non-GAAP financial ratio:

  • Percentage change in Constant Currency Toy Gross Product Sales
  • Percentage change in Constant Currency Digital Games Revenue
  • Percentage change in Constant Currency Entertainment Revenue
  • Percentage change in Constant Currency Revenue
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin
  • Adjusted Operating Margin
  • Adjusted Basic EPS
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie Distribution Revenue

Non-GAAP financial ratios are ratios or percentages that are calculated using a Non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP financial ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Management believes the Non-GAAP financial measures and Non-GAAP financial ratios defined above are important supplemental measures of operating performance and highlight trends in the business. Management believes that these measures allow for assessment of the Company’s operating performance and financial condition on a basis that is consistent and comparable between reporting periods. The Company believes that investors, lenders, securities analysts and other interested parties frequently use these Non-GAAP financial measures and Non-GAAP financial ratios in the evaluation of issuers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Toy Gross Product Sales represent Toy revenues, excluding the impact of Sales Allowances. As Sales Allowances are generally not associated with individual products, the Company uses Toy Gross Product Sales to provide meaningful comparisons across product category and geographical results to highlight trends in Spin Master’s business. For a reconciliation of Toy Gross Product Sales to Revenue, the closest IFRS measure, refer to the revenue tables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022 in this Press Release.

Constant Currency Toy Gross Product Sales, Constant Currency Sales Allowances, Constant Currency Toy Revenue, Constant Currency Entertainment Revenue, Constant Currency Digital Games Revenue, and Constant Currency Revenue represent Toy Gross Product Sales, Sales Allowance, Toy revenue, Entertainment revenue, Digital Games revenue, and Revenue presented excluding the impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, respectively. The current period and prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than the US dollar are translated using consistent exchange rates, rather than using the actual exchange rate in effect during the respective periods. The difference between the current period and prior period results using the consistent exchange rates reflects the changes in the underlying performance results, excluding the impact from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management uses Constant Currency Toy Gross Product Sales, Constant Currency Sales Allowances, Constant Currency Toy Revenue, Constant Currency Entertainment Revenue, Constant Currency Digital Games Revenue, and Constant Currency Revenue to measure the underlying financial performance of the business on a consistent basis over time. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for a reconciliation of these metrics to Revenue, the closest IFRS measure.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is calculated as Operating Income (Loss) excluding adjustments (as defined in Adjusted EBITDA). Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is used by management as a measure of the Company’s profitability. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of this metric to Operating Income (Loss), the closest IFRS measure.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is calculated as Net Income (Loss) excluding adjustments (as defined in Adjusted EBITDA), the corresponding impact these items have on income tax expense. Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to measure the underlying financial performance of the business on a consistent basis over time. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of this metric to Operating Income (Loss), the closest IFRS measure.

Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash flows provided by/used in operating activities reduced by cash flows used in investing activities and adding back cash used for business acquisitions, advance paid for business acquisitions, asset acquisitions, investment in limited partnership, Minority interest and other investments, proceeds from sale of manufacturing operations and net of investment distribution income. Management uses the Free Cash Flow metric to analyze the cash flows being generated by the Company’s business. Refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for a reconciliation of this metric to Cash flow from operating activities, the closest IFRS measure.
