Santa Monica, CA — JAKKS Pacific reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025

  • Net sales were $211.2 million, a year-over-year decrease of $110.4 million or 34%, driven largely by a reduction in direct-import sales due to a combination of customers anticipating lower consumer demand in response to tariff-driven price increases and the lack of new theatrical release-related product vs. prior year
    • US net sales were $154.5 million, down 40% compared to Q3 2024
    • Rest of World net sales were $56.7 million, down 15% compared to Q3 2024
  • Gross margin of 32.0% vs. 33.8% in Q3 2024, driven by US tariffs and higher royalty expense
  • Gross profit of $67.6 million, down $41.2 million compared to $108.8 million in Q3 2024
  • Operating income of $29.4 million, compared to operating income of $68.1 million in Q3 2024
  • Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders (a non-GAAP measure) of $20.6 million (or $1.80 per diluted share), compared to adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $54.0 million (or $4.79 per diluted share) in Q3 2024

Management Commentary

“While near-term volatility in tariffs and retail demand present challenges, this year they also highlight the value of running a disciplined, forward-looking business,” said Stephen Berman, Chairman and CEO of JAKKS Pacific. “We are not only protecting margins and supporting our retail partners with transparency today—we are laying the groundwork for a strong pipeline of products in a broad array of categories with some of the top licensed intellectual property that extends well into 2026 and beyond.

Our diversified sourcing network and ongoing supply chain cost reduction initiatives give us the agility to adapt to future shifts in trade and policy, while our strong balance sheet, conservative financial posture and strong inventory controls, both at retail and in our distribution centers, provide us with resilience through changing business environments.

We remain confident in our long-term trajectory. By sharpening operational efficiency, accelerating cash generation, and investing in product innovation, we are positioning JAKKS Pacific to capture new opportunities, deliver lasting value to shareholders and customers, and shape the future of play for years to come.”
