Income tax expense was $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
Net loss was $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net loss of $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The 18.6% increase in net loss was primarily due to the decrease in net sales outpacing the decrease in operating expenses as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Current report
(3)For the three months ended March 31, 2024, costs of $3.2 million related to contract settlement agreements and related services for assets held for sale (including fair market value adjustments of $135,000) related to a potential business initiative and the sale of certain assets under Funko Games.
Current report
The challenging retail environment, in particular as a result of the current tariff environment, has adversely impacted and is expected to adversely impact our performance. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the financial and other covenants under our Credit Agreement, dated September 17, 2021 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). However, failure to satisfy the covenants under the Credit Agreement, without a timely cure, waiver or amendment, would be considered an event of default. If an event of default occurs and is not cured or waived, the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and exercise other remedies as set forth in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Lenders would have the right to proceed against the collateral pledged to them, which includes substantially all of our assets.
Current report
In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, management evaluated our future liquidity, forecasted operating results and ability to comply with the covenants under our Credit Agreement for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements and determined that, principally based on our forecast of the expected effects of the announced tariffs and other facts and conditions, we are forecasting that we will not be in compliance with the Maximum Net Leverage Ratio and Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenants as of the end of the second quarter of 2025.
Current report
Management has developed a plan, as summarized below, that, if executed successfully, we believe will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they become due for a reasonable period of time, including to meet its obligations under the Credit Agreement, and/or obtain covenant relief. The plan includes:
Current report
•Continuing to monitor our commercial pricing strategy, work with current and potential sourcing partners to mitigate the effects of increasing costs, including shifting certain manufacturing out of China, and, if necessary and consistent with our existing contractual commitments, decreasing our activity level and capital expenditures further. This plan reflects our strategy of controlling capital costs and maintaining financial flexibility.
Current report
•Gaining positive cash-inflow from operating activities through continuous overhead cost reductions and increased sales of higher margin products. We have a significant presence in international markets, which are not impacted by tariffs, and will continue to pursue strategies to grow those markets.
Current report
•Raising additional cash through the issuance of debt or assessing potential amendments, including a covenant waiver and/or refinancing of our existing debt arrangements as considered necessary. In addition, we intend to opportunistically consider other potential business opportunities or strategic transactions.
Current report
While management believes that the measures described in the above plan will be adequate to satisfy its liquidity requirements, there can be no assurance that our lenders will agree to waive, modify and/or amend the Maximum Net Leverage Ratio and Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants or that the plan will be successfully implemented.
Current report
See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements - Note 1, “Organization and Operations” and Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors – “There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to pressure on our financial covenants arising from the current tariff environment” for additional information.
Current report
The increase in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to changes in working capital that increased net cash used in operating activities by $31.7 million and an increase in net loss of $4.4 million and changes in depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and other, net of $0.7 million. Within working capital, the primary drivers were increases in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $17.4 million, accrued royalties of $5.9 million and decrease to prepaid expenses and other assets of $6.9 million.
Current report
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants in our respective credit agreements in effect at such time. In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, management evaluated our future liquidity and forecasted operating results for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements and determined that, in light of the foregoing conditions, we expect to experience difficulty remaining in compliance with the Maximum Net Leverage Ratio and Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and exercise other remedies as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern exists, absent consummating a transaction to refinance or modify the Credit Agreement.
Current report
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination measured at fair value. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually on October 1 of each year and upon the occurrence of triggering events or substantive changes in circumstances that could indicate a potential impairment by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the net assets is below their carrying amounts.
Current report
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill and are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Intangible assets acquired include intellectual property (product design), customer relationships, and trade names. These are definite-lived assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable.
Current report
We have evaluated potential goodwill impairment triggering events as of March 31, 2025, and determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was above carrying value of the net assets. We will continue to evaluate for other-than-temporary impairment triggering events due to the substantive changes in circumstances, such as market capitalization, which could indicate a potential impairment. We also expect to assess the recoverability of the carrying value our identified intangible and other long-lived assets, to the extent conditions necessitate an impairment assessment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the number of active properties decreased 1.3% to 743 as compared to 753 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and the average net sales per active property decreased 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. An active property is a licensed property from which we generate sales of products during a given period. We expect that the number of active properties and the average sales per active property will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on what is relevant in pop culture at that time, the types of properties we are producing against and general economic trends.
Previous report

The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was driven primarily by a $2.1 million recapture of inventory write-downs as aged inventory was able to be sold at better than expected margins during the three months ended September 30, 2024 versus a $10.6 million increase to inventory reserves for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The three months ended September 30, 2023 also incurred a one-time disposal cost of $6.1 million related to finished goods held at offshore factories.

The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven primarily by a one-time inventory write-down of $30.1 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as well as a $10.8 million recapture of inventory write-downs as aged inventory was able to be sold at better than expected margins during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 versus a $22.1 million increase to inventory reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

However, we cannot assure you that our cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents or cash available under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our future needs. In particular, though we were in compliance with the financial and other covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2024, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with our financial covenants, or that we will be able to further amend the Credit Agreement should circumstances arise in the future.
Previous report
The increase in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in net loss, providing $139.6 million. This was offset by changes in working capital of $54.3 million. The working capital decrease was primarily due to decreases in inventory of $81.5 million and accounts receivable of $39.9 million, offset by decreases in accounts payable of $21.3 million, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $14.6 million and accrued royalties of $14.1 million.

On September 17, 2021, FAH, LLC and certain of its material domestic subsidiaries from time to time (the “Credit Agreement Parties”) entered into a new credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, KeyBank National Association, Citizens Bank, N.A., Bank of the West, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Bank of America, N.A., U.S. Bank National Association, MUFG Union Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (collectively, the “Initial Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), providing for a term loan facility in the amount of $180.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a revolving credit facility of $100.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) (together the “Credit Facilities”). Proceeds from the Credit Facilities were primarily used to repay the Company’s former credit facilities. On April 26, 2022, the Credit Agreement Parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Initial Lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, which allows for additional Restricted Payments (as defined in the First Amendment) using specified funding sources. On July 29, 2022, the Credit Agreement Parties entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the Initial Lenders and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (collectively, the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, which increased the Revolving Credit Facility to $215.0 million and converted the Credit Facility interest rate index from Borrower (as defined in the Credit Agreement) option LIBOR to SOFR. On February 28, 2023, the Credit Agreement Parties entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, reduce the size of the Revolving Credit Facility to $180.0 million and again to $150.0 million on December 31, 2023. On June 11, 2024 (the “Consent Effective Date"), the Credit Agreement Parties entered into that certain Limited Waiver and Limited Consent (the “Limited Waiver and Limited Consent”), with the lenders party thereto (the “Required Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Limited Waiver and Limited Consent, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have agreed to irrevocably and permanently waive, from any time prior to or after the Consent Effective Date, the Credit Agreement Parties’ compliance with the covenant to maintain a minimum threshold of Qualified Cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of the borrowers under the Credit Facilities and any of their existing or future material domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.
Previous report
The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrowers under the Credit Facilities and any of its existing or future material domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. As of September 30, 2024, the Credit Agreement Parties were in compliance with all of the covenants in the Credit Agreement and as of December 31, 2023, the Credit Agreement Parties were in compliance with the modified covenants that were amended pursuant to the Third Amendment and within the Waiver Period. We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts. If economic conditions worsen and negatively impact the Company’s earnings and operating cash flows, this could impact our ability to regain compliance with our amended financial covenants and require the Company to seek additional amendments to our Credit Agreement or cause us to default on our obligations under the Credit Agreement.

We sell our products in numerous countries across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa, with approximately 34% of our net sales generated outside of the United States. We also source and procure inventory, primarily out of Vietnam, China and Mexico. As such, we are exposed to and impacted by global macroeconomic factors. Current macroeconomic factors remain very dynamic, such as greater political unrest or instability in Central and Eastern Europe (including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War), the Middle East (including the Israel-Hamas War), and certain Southeast Asia regions as well as financial instability, including uncertainty around freight costs and consumer spending, and heightened interest rates and inflation that could reduce our net sales or have impacts to our gross margin (as defined below), net income and cash flows.

In addition, we have been and continue to be operating in a challenging retail environment where retailers have slowed their restocking, prioritized lower inventory levels and, in some cases, have canceled their orders. This has had an impact across our brands and geographies of reducing our net sales, gross margin (as defined below) and net income. We have strategically adjusted our inventory buy-in to focus on core products within new form factors offered with a variety of price points in order to help mitigate this impact.

In addition, we have been and continue to be operating in a challenging retail environment where retailers have slowed their restocking, prioritized lower inventory levels and, in some cases, have canceled their orders. Moreover, tariffs on imports have adversely impacted and are expected to adversely impact our costs, and we intend to raise prices for certain of our products. This has had an impact across our brands and geographies of reducing our net sales, gross margin and net income, and could impact consumer discretionary spending in future periods. We have strategically adjusted our inventory buy-in to focus on non-exclusive core products in order to help mitigate this impact.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share (collectively the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition transaction costs and other expenses, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, inventory write-down, tax receivable agreement liability adjustments, one-time disposal costs for unfinished and finished goods held at offshore factories, income tax expense and other unusual or one-time items.

Previous wording
Due to these limitations, Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. As noted in the table below, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include adjustments for non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition transaction costs and other expenses, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, inventory write-down, tax receivable agreement liability adjustments, one-time disposal costs for unfinished and finished goods held at offshore factories and other unusual or one-time items. It is reasonable to expect that certain of these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. Each of the adjustments described herein and in the reconciliation table below help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

Previous wording
If our operating results fail to improve or if we are otherwise unable to maintain compliance with the financial or other covenants under the Credit Agreement, our lenders could, among other things, terminate all outstanding commitments thereunder and accelerate all outstanding borrowings and other obligations, which would require us to seek additional financing. Even in the absence of such event, if we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, and if availability under our Revolving Credit Facility is not sufficient, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all.

We expect these sources of liquidity to continue to be our primary sources of liquidity. For a discussion of our credit facilities, see “Credit Facilities” above and Note 4, Debt. In addition, as described above, on July 15, 2022, we filed a preliminary shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 26, 2022. The terms of any offering under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to the completion of any such offering.

As noted above, our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory management, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate needs. There have been no material changes to our liquidity and capital commitments as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

As noted above, our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory management, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate needs. Except as described above, there have been no material changes to our liquidity and capital commitments as described in our 2024 10-K.
Previous wording
Additional future liquidity needs may include tax distributions, the redemption right held by the Continuing Equity Owners that they may exercise from time to time (should we elect to exchange their common units for a cash payment), payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and general cash requirements for operations and capital expenditures (including a future enterprise resource management system (ERP), additional platforms to support our direct-to-consumer experience, and capital build out of new leased warehouse and office space). The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise their redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, we expect that the payments we will be required to make to the TRA Parties will be significant, which will be contingent on future realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Any payments made by us to the TRA Parties under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise have been available to us or to FAH, LLC and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us; provided however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
