Spin Master Reports Q2 2024 Financial Results and Reiterates 2024 Full Year Outlook

Toronto, Canada – Spin Master Corp. announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s full Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

“Our second quarter revenue was in line with our expectations, despite pressure on consumer spending, impacting both Toy Gross Product Sales and in-game purchases within Digital Games”, said Max Rangel, Spin Master’s Global President & CEO. “Melissa & Doug had a strong quarter, and the integration is progressing well with incremental revenue opportunities emerging, together with operating synergies. Looking ahead to the balance of 2024, our team is focused on delivering our signature breakthrough innovation in toys and launching new properties, including Ms. Rachel, delivering entertainment that resonates with audiences on a global scale, such as Unicorn Academy, and releasing new experiences in digital games, such as Rubik’s Match, designed to expand our player ecosystem. We believe in Spin Master’s long-term growth potential driven by our diversified portfolio of innovative toys, engaging entertainment and open-ended digital games. With these compelling capabilities, we believe we will deliver our longer-term strategic and financial goals.”

“Toy Gross Product Sales in the second quarter excluding Melissa and Doug, were down compared to last year as we were lapping PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie shipments from Q2 2023, but were in line with our expectations” said Mark Segal, Spin Master’s EVP & Chief Financial Officer. “We continued to execute on our capital allocation strategy and by the end of Q2, we have now repurchased over 1.1 million shares under our NCIB. Looking to the balance of the year, we are pleased to maintain our outlook for 2024. Over the long term, we will continue to invest to drive growth, while also managing our cost-base and preserving financial flexibility to maximize shareholder value.”

Toy Gross Product Sales, excluding Melissa & Doug1 was $333.0 million, an decrease of $57.0 million or 14.6% from $390.0 million.

  • Toys Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding Melissa & Doug1 was 9.4% compared to 13.8%.
  • The decrease in Toys Operating Margin and Toys Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 was driven by the inclusion of Melissa & Doug, resulting in lower operating leverage due to the higher relative seasonality impact in the quarter, a change in product mix, higher proportion of administrative and marketing spend in relation to Toy Revenue, partially offset by a decrease in selling expense.

The decline was offset in part by higher subscription revenue from Piknik and PAW Patrol Academy.
  • Digital Games Operating Income decreased by $5.3 million or 55.2% to $4.3 million. Digital Games Adjusted Operating Income1 decreased by $6.9 million or 53.9% to $5.9 million from $12.8 million.

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of $510.0 million which matures on September 28, 2026, and contains certain financial covenants.

The Company has a non-revolving credit facility (the “Acquisition Facility”) for the acquisition of Melissa & Doug, with a borrowing capacity of $225.0 million which matures on November 19, 2024, and contains certain financial covenants.

As at June 30, 2024, there was $235.0 million drawn (December 31, 2023 – $nil) under the Facility and $225.0 million drawn (December 31, 2023 – $nil) under the Acquisition Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on the Facility and the Acquisition Facility were both 6.6% (2023 – 0%).

As at June 30, 2024, the Company had unutilized liquidity of $426.0 million, comprised of $154.6 million in Cash and $271.4 million under the Company’s credit facilities.

Cash Flows

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash flow provided by operating activities was $49.7 million compared to $14.8 million. The increase was driven by the change in non-cash working capital offset by lower Adjusted Operating Income1. Change in non-cash working capital increased by $81.9 million, due to decreases of $185.0 million in trade receivables, $6.2 million in inventories and $10.4 million in other receivables, partially offset by an increase of $83.4 million in trade payables and accrued liabilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash flow provided by financing activities was $408.2 million, compared to cash flow used of $27.5 million. The increase is primarily driven by the proceeds from loans and borrowings of $525.0 million, partially offset by repayments of $65.0 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Free Cash Flow1 was $(4.2) million compared to $(40.3) million, due to higher cash flow provided by operating activities and lower cash flow used in investing activities.

Capitalization

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of C$0.12 per outstanding subordinate voting share and multiple voting share, payable on October 11, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 27, 2024.  The dividend is designated to be an eligible dividend for purposes of section 89(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding as at June 30, 2024 were 103.8 million and 106.0 million, compared to 103.7 million and 105.6 million in the prior year, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased and cancelled, through the Company’s NCIB program, 1,111,581 (2023 – 397,700 shares) subordinate voting shares for $25.9 million (C$35.2 million) (2023 – $10.5 million). Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased and cancelled 318,200 subordinate voting shares for $6.9 million (C$9.5 million).
