Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
*** September 30, 2026***
**Note1 **—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K, which contains audited financial information for each of thethree years in the period ended* December 31, 2025.*
The information provided in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented. Interim results arenot necessarily, especially given seasonality, indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”).
In* November 2024,the FASB issued ASU2024*-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The new guidance improves disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring disaggregated disclosures of certain types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible amortization and depletion, as applicable, for each income statement caption that includes those expenses. In addition, the standard will require entities to define and disclose total selling expenses. The standard is effective for public business entities such as the Company for annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2026,and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027.Early adoption is permitted, and entities may*apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In* July 2025,the FASB issued ASU2025*-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” The new guidance provides a practical expedient in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic606. Entities that elect the practical expedient* mayassume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date donot* change for the remaining life of the respective assets. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after* December 15, 2025,and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption was permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements havenot* yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted this standard as of* January 1, 2026.The adoption of this standard didnot* have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In* September 2025,the FASB issued ASU2025*-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The new guidance removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur:1. Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and2. It is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software (referred to as “significant development uncertainty”). The amendments will be effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after* December 15, 2027,*and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
No other accounting pronouncements were issued or adopted for thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2026*that materially impacted the Company.

Segment assets are primarily comprised of accounts receivable and inventories, net of applicable reserves and allowances, goodwill and other assets. Certain assets which arenot tracked by operating segment and/or that benefit multiple operating segments have been allocated on the same basis.
Results arenot necessarily those which would be achieved if each segment was an unaffiliated business enterprise.

| (*) | During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company determined that, in prior periods, net sales to two subsidiaries of Walmart Inc., were not aggregated with net sales to Walmart Inc. in the major customer disclosure under ASC 280-10-50-42. Because these entities are under common control, such sales should be presented as revenues from a single customer. Accordingly, prior-period amounts have been revised to aggregate these net sales amounts to Walmart Inc. and its subsidiaries. This revision affected only the major customer disclosure and had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for any period presented. The Company concluded that the revision was not material to previously issued financial statements. |
|---|
No other customer accounted for more than10% of the Company’s total net sales.
The concentration of the Company’s business with a relatively small number of customers* mayexpose the Company to material adverse effects ifone* or more of its large customers were to experience financial difficulty. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its top customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses.

**Note3 **—Inventory
Inventory, which includes the ex-factory cost of goods, capitalized warehouse costs, and in-bound freight and duty, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, net of inventory obsolescence reserve, and consists of the following (in thousands):
| | | September 30, | | | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | 2026 | | | 2025 | |
| Finished goods | | $63,770 | | | $59,805 | |
The inventory obsolescence reserve was $2.6 million and $2.4 million as of* September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025,*respectively.
**Note4 **—Revenue Recognition and Reserve for Sales Returns and Allowances
The Company’s contracts with customers only includeone performance obligation (i.e., sale of the Company’s products). Revenue is recognized in the gross amount at a point in time when delivery is completed and control of the promised goods is transferred to the customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. The Company’s contracts donot involve financing elements as payment terms with customers are less thanone year. Further, because revenue is recognized at the point in time goods are sold to customers, there areno contract assets or contract liability balances.
The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by reporting segment: Toys/Consumer Products and Costumes. The Company further disaggregates revenues by major geographic regions (See Note2 - Business Segments, Geographic Data and Sales by Major Customers, for further information).
The Company offers various discounts, pricing concessions, and other allowances to customers, all of which are considered in determining the transaction price. Certain discounts and allowances are fixed and determinable at the time of sale and are recorded at the time of sale as a reduction to revenue. Other discounts and allowances can vary and are determined at management’s discretion (variable consideration). Specifically, the Company occasionally grants discretionary credits to facilitate markdowns and sales of slow-moving merchandise, and consequently accrues an allowance based on historic credits and management estimates. The Company also participates in cooperative advertising arrangements with some customers, whereby it allows a discount from invoiced product amounts in exchange for customer-purchased advertising that features the Company’s products. Generally, these allowances range from 1% to 30% of gross sales and are generally based upon product purchases or specific advertising campaigns. Such allowances are accrued when the related revenue is recognized. To the extent these cooperative advertising arrangements provide a distinct benefit at fair value, they are accounted for as direct selling expenses, otherwise they are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Further, while the Company generally doesnot allow product returns, the Company does make occasional exceptions to this policy and consequently records a sales return allowance based upon historic return amounts and management estimates. These allowances (variable consideration) are estimated using the expected value method and are recorded at the time of sale as a reduction to revenue. The Company adjusts its estimate of variable consideration at least quarterly or when facts and circumstances used in the estimation process* maychange. The variable consideration isnot* constrained as the Company has sufficient history on the related estimates and doesnot believe there is a risk of significant revenue reversal.
Sales commissions are expensed when incurred as the related revenue is recognized at a point in time and therefore the amortization period is less thanone year. As a result, these costs are recorded as direct selling expenses, as incurred. For thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2026sales commissions were $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For thethree* andnine months ended* September 30, 2025*sales commissions were $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Shipping and handling activities are considered part of the Company’s obligation to transfer the products and therefore are recorded as direct selling expenses, as incurred. For thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2026,shipping and handling costs were $2.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively. For thethree* andnine months ended* September 30, 2025,*shipping and handling costs were $2.2 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

**Note5 **—Credit Facilities
JPMorgan Chase
On* June 2, 2021,the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent and lender, providing a $67.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “JPMorgan ABL Facility”) maturing in June 2026.*
On* June 24, 2025,in connection with the execution of a new credit facility with BMO Bank N.A., the Company voluntarily terminated the JPMorgan ABL Facility. At the time of termination, there wereno* borrowings outstanding under the JPMorgan ABL Facility. The termination of the JPMorgan ABL Facility didnot result in any prepayment penalties or early termination fees. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the JPMorgan ABL Facility were written off and recorded in addition to related costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $0.4 million.
The JPMorgan ABL Facility was replaced with a new senior secured revolving credit facility with BMO Bank N.A., as described below.
BMO Bank
On* June 24, 2025,the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) with BMO Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The BMO Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with aggregate commitments of up to $70.0 million, including a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Revolving Facility matures on June 24, 2030,*unless extended pursuant to its terms. Capitalized terms used below have the meanings assigned to them in the BMO Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (i) the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin or (ii) the Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio and ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% for SOFR loans and from 0.50% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. The Company is also subject to a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility ranging from 0.20% to 0.30%, and a fee on outstanding letters of credit ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%.
The BMO Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, asset sales and dividends. Financial covenants include a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.00 to1.00, and maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to1.00, tested quarterly.
The obligations under the BMO Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s U.S., Canadian and Hong Kong subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including equity interests in certain subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exclusions.
As of* September 30, 2026,*the amount of outstanding borrowings wasnil and the total excess borrowing availability was $68.7 million.
As of* September 30, 2026,*off-balance sheet arrangements include letters of credit issued by BMO of $1.3 million, and by JPMorgan Chase of $0.9 million.
As of* September 30, 2026,*the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the BMO Credit Agreement.

**Note6 **—Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense of $7.7 million for thethree months ended* September 30, 2026,reflects an effective tax rate of 20.5%. The Company’s income tax expense of $9.8 million for thethree* months ended* September 30, 2025,reflects an effective tax rate of 33.1%. The decrease in tax expense for thethree* months ended* September 30, 2026compared to the corresponding period in2025* is primarily attributable to a lower forecast annual effective tax rate, partially offset by higher pretax earnings.
The Company’s income tax expense of $8.6 million for thenine months ended* September 30, 2026reflects an effective tax rate of 21.4%. The Company’s income tax expense of $8.1 million for thenine* months ended* September 30, 2025reflects an effective tax rate of 34.7%. The increase in tax expense during thenine* months ended* September 30, 2026compared to the corresponding period in2025* was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax book income.
From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company* maybe audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. During thethird* quarter of2026, the Company concluded an audit with a state taxing authority. The final outcome of the matter following any remaining administrative resolution isnot expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
**Note7 **—Earnings Per Share
The following table is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the computation of earnings per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company accrues for losses when the loss is deemed probable and the liability can reasonably be estimated. Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss withno best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability related to the claim. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revises its estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Company* mayprovide certain indemnifications and/or other commitments of varying scope to a) its licensors, customers and certain other parties, including againstthird*-party claims of intellectual property infringement, and b) its officers, directors and employees, including againstthird-party claims regarding the periods in which they serve in such capacities with the Company.

**Note13 **—Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based upon these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values intothree broad levels as follows:
| Level 1: | Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2: | Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities. |
| Level 3: | Valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. |
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based upon inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of* September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025 (*in thousands):
