The score is weighed down primarily by weak financial performance driven by declining revenue, ongoing net losses, and a stressed capital structure (negative equity and high debt), partially offset by positive free cash flow. Technicals further pressure the score with the stock trading below major moving averages and negative MACD. Valuation provides limited support due to a negative P/E and no dividend yield data.

Positive Factors

Cash generation

Positive and substantial TTM operating cash flow and free cash flow provide durable internal liquidity to fund content production, distribution and working capital. This cash generation cushions ongoing losses, lowers near-term reliance on external financing, and supports reinvestment into IP and channels.

Diversified monetization

A multi-pronged business model—production fees, distribution/licensing, consumer products, digital AVOD and partnerships—spreads revenue dependence across windows and channels. Structural diversification reduces single-platform risk and supports recurring income as content cycles and licensing deals renew.

Owned IP and scale

Owning kids-focused IP and operating across creation, global distribution and consumer licensing enables long-term library monetization. Combined with sizable reported assets (~$1.0B TTM), the IP and distribution footprint provide durable leverage for renewals, secondary windows and merchandising income.

Negative Factors

Stressed capital structure

Negative equity and sizable debt materially constrain financial flexibility and elevate refinancing risk. A stressed capital structure can increase borrowing costs, limit strategic spending on new productions or marketing, and force prioritization of debt servicing over growth investments.

Weak profitability

Declining top line and persistent net losses indicate limited earnings power after operating costs. Low EBITDA margin means smaller buffers for content investment and marketing, making it harder to scale profits from new series or licensing; profitability must improve to sustainably rebuild equity.

Volatile cash conversion

Although FCF is positive, a ~29% decline year-over-year signals volatility in cash conversion. Falling FCF reduces the cushion available for debt repayment and reinvestment, increasing risk if content monetization underperforms or if distribution/licensing timing shifts across quarters.

WildBrain Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company Description

WildBrain Ltd. develops, produces, and distributes films and television programs worldwide. The company operates through two segments, Content Business and Canadian Television Broadcasting. It focuses on children and family content, including animated series; and provides production services, as well as operates children's channels on YouTube. The company also licenses initial broadcasting rights of new proprietary series or pre-sells shows that are in development to individual broadcasters, streaming services, and other media platforms; and re-licenses rights of existing series in the library or packages of programs of its own proprietary titles, as well as third-party produced titles. In addition, it holds broadcast licenses for Family Channel, Family Jr., Télémagino, and Family CHRGD television channels; and operates as entertainment, sport, and brand licensing agency for the company's own and third party brands. Further, the company licenses its brands, such as Peanuts, Strawberry Shortcake, Chip and Potato, Teletubbies, Yo Gabba Gabba!, Caillou, Johnny Test, In the Night Garden, Twirlywoos, Mattel on Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Little People, and Polly Pocket, as well as music publishing and retransmission rights, and live tours. It offers its films and television programs for streaming services; and conventional and specialty terrestrial and cable/satellite television broadcasters, as well as for other media platforms and digital providers. The company was formerly known as DHX Media Ltd. and changed its name to WildBrain Ltd. in December 2019. WildBrain Ltd. was incorporated in 2004 and is headquartered in Halifax, Canada.

How the Company Makes Money

WildBrain generates revenue through multiple key streams: advertising revenue from its digital video platform, WildBrain Spark, where it monetizes children's content via ad placements; licensing fees from brand partnerships and distribution of its shows to television networks and streaming services; and revenue from its production and co-production activities, which include creating original content for various platforms. Significant partnerships with major broadcasters and streaming platforms enhance its distribution capabilities and broaden revenue opportunities.

WildBrain Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Income statement is weak (revenue down ~9.8% TTM, net losses with ~-18.8% net margin, low ~4% EBITDA margin). Cash flow is a relative strength (positive operating cash flow and free cash flow), but declining free cash flow (~-29% vs prior period) and a stressed balance sheet (negative equity and sizable debt) materially increase risk and cap the score.

Income Statement

TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) revenue declined ~9.8%, signaling a weaker top-line trajectory versus the prior annual period. Profitability is mixed: gross margin remains solid (~46%), but the company is still reporting net losses (TTM net margin ~-18.8%) and relatively low EBITDA margin (~4%), indicating limited earnings power after operating costs. The trend is improving versus deeper losses in prior years, but consistent profitability has not yet been re-established.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet is the key weak spot: stockholders’ equity is negative in the latest periods (TTM and FY2025), which materially reduces financial flexibility and increases refinancing risk. Total debt remains high (~$610M TTM) relative to the asset base, and the negative equity position makes leverage metrics unfavorable and harder to interpret in a conventional way. While total assets are sizable (~$1.0B TTM), the capital structure is stressed until equity is rebuilt or debt is reduced.

Cash Flow

Cash generation is a relative strength: TTM operating cash flow (~$91M) and free cash flow (~$88M) are positive and substantial despite net losses, providing near-term liquidity support. However, free cash flow fell meaningfully versus the prior annual period (TTM free cash flow growth ~-29%), pointing to some volatility in cash conversion. Overall, cash flow quality is better than earnings, but the recent decline is a watch item.

WildBrain Corporate Events

WildBrain boosts licensing growth as Peanuts sale drives major balance-sheet reset

WildBrain reported solid second-quarter performance for the period ended December 31, 2025, with revenue from continuing operations rising 11% to $72.4 million and adjusted EBITDA up 30% to $14.9 million, while the net loss narrowed sharply to $20.1 million. Discontinued operations, primarily reflecting the Peanuts business, generated $131.8 million in revenue, an 83% increase driven by a major Apple TV library renewal deal, alongside a 54% gain in adjusted EBITDA to $22.6 million.

The company highlighted strong growth in its Global Licensing division, where revenue climbed 24% year over year on the strength of brands like Strawberry Shortcake and Teletubbies, and it noted fresh momentum in original content with Netflix’s Finding Her Edge renewed for a second season and Yo Gabba GabbaLand! launching Season 2 on Apple TV. Management framed the planned sale of WildBrain’s 41% stake in Peanuts and the wind-down of its Canadian television broadcasting unit as key steps in a broader transformation to eliminate debt, simplify the business model and redirect capital toward scalable, high-margin opportunities, even as formal fiscal 2026 guidance remains on pause during this transition.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:WILD) stock is a Hold with a C$2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WildBrain stock, see the TSE:WILD Stock Forecast page.

WildBrain Sells Peanuts Stake to Sony for $630 Million, Wipes Out Debt and Refocuses on Owned IP

WildBrain has agreed to sell its 41% stake in Peanuts Holdings LLC, owner of the Peanuts intellectual property, to Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) and Sony Pictures Entertainment for $630 million in cash, while the Schulz family retains its 20% stake. The transaction will allow WildBrain to fully repay its senior secured credit facility, eliminate all debt, generate over $40 million in surplus cash and save about $50 million annually in interest, freeing capital for investment in its own high-growth franchises, expansion of its digital ad-supported platforms and emerging technologies, while maintaining a multi-year partnership with Sony to continue as licensing agent, exclusive production studio for new Peanuts content under its Apple TV deal, and distributor of WildBrain-produced Peanuts programming.

WildBrain Investors Back Board Slate and Share-Structure Overhaul

WildBrain shareholders approved all items at the company’s annual and special meeting, including the election of the full slate of director nominees, the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as independent auditor, and the reapproval of unallocated entitlements under the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. Investors also backed a special resolution to simplify the company’s capital structure by eliminating non-voting and Preferred Variable Voting shares, consolidating remaining equity into a single class of common shares with amended rights, and creating an unlimited number of preferred shares issuable in series, a move the board chair said follows the closure of WildBrain’s television channels and is intended to give the company greater flexibility to pursue strategic options and enhance long-term shareholder value.
