Management Commentary
“We finished the second quarter with good momentum heading into the second half of the year. The year is developing as we had planned,” said Stephen Berman, Chairman and CEO of JAKKS Pacific. “Many retailers in the US are recalibrating their pricing and where they have done so, we see consumers responding positively to our compelling product offering. Our first half new product introductions were broadly well received and sold through. Our Action Play & Collectibles business was up by over 40% in the quarter and reached $97 million in net sales for the first half, our highest level in over 15 years. Our Dolls, Role-Play and Dress-Up business was up over 11% in the quarter despite a lack of new entertainment properties in that division. Our evergreen businesses are rebounding from last year and setting us up well for the quarters ahead”.

Second Quarter & First-Half 2026 Highlights
Net Sales in North America were up 20% in the quarter to $115 million compared to the previous year and 3% for the first-half of the year. International Sales were $24 million in the quarter — up from $23 million last year (a 3% increase) and $53 million in the first-half compared to $44 million in 2025 and $33 million in 2024 for the comparable time periods.
