“We closed the year with two consecutive quarters of solid financial results,” said Josh Simon, Chief Executive Officer of Funko. “Our fourth quarter performance was driven by strong sales of entertainment properties, notably KPop Demon Hunters and Stranger Things, as well as our Bitty Pop! franchise and the launch of Pop! Yourself in Europe.
“Turning to our balance sheet, we reduced our inventory levels and paid down $16 million of debt in Q4. And, as previously announced, we reached an agreement with our lender group to amend our credit agreement, which extends the maturity to December 31, 2027 and provides us with the financial flexibility to deliver on our long-term plans.
“Looking ahead, we’re excited about the 2026 entertainment slate and executing our ‘Make Culture POP!’ strategy — winning the moments that shape culture, scaling storytelling across new products and platforms, expanding our touchpoints with fans and driving profitable growth.”

*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 net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share and 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 first quarter of 2026 the company expects equity-based compensation of approximately $4 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $15 million and interest expense of approximately $5 million. For the full year 2026, the company expects equity-based compensation of approximately $15 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $60 million and interest expense of approximately $18 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.
