Previous report
We are, and may in the future become, subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in or outside the ordinary course of business. For example, between November 16, 2017 and June 12, 2018, seven purported stockholders of the Company filed putative class action lawsuits in the Superior Court of Washington in and for King County against us, certain of our officers and directors, ACON, Fundamental, the underwriters of our IPO, and certain other defendants.
Previous report
On July 2, 2018, the suits were ordered consolidated for all purposes into one action under the title In re Funko, Inc. Securities Litigation. On August 1, 2018, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint against us, certain of our officers and directors, ACON, Fundamental, and certain other defendants. The Company moved to dismiss twice, and the Court twice granted our motions to dismiss, the second time with prejudice. Plaintiffs appealed and on November 1, 2021, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s dismissal decision in most respects. On May 4, 2022, the Washington State Supreme Court denied the Defendants’ petition, and the case was remanded to the Superior Court for further proceedings. We filed our answer on September 19, 2022, and the Court certified the case as a class action on November 6, 2023.
Previous report
The consolidated complaint alleges that we violated Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), by making allegedly materially misleading statements in documents filed with the SEC in connection with our IPO and by omitting material facts necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, compensatory statutory damages and rescissory damages in account of the consideration paid for our Class A common stock by the plaintiffs and members of the putative class, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 21, 2024, the parties agreed to a settlement in principle, and on October 29, 2024 notified the Court of a proposed class settlement. The Court preliminarily approved the settlement on February 12, 2025 and the settlement was paid on February 25, 2025, directly by the Company’s applicable insurance policies. The Court issued final approval of the settlement and dismissed the litigation on June 6, 2025.

We operate facilities and sell products in numerous countries outside the United States. Sales to our international customers comprised approximately 39% and 34% of our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expect sales to our international customers to account for an increasing portion of our sales in future fiscal years. Over time, we expect our international sales and operations to continue to grow both in dollars and as a percentage of our overall business as a result of a key business strategy to expand our presence in emerging and underserved international markets. Additionally, we use third-party manufacturers located in Vietnam, China and Mexico to produce most of our products. These international sales and manufacturing operations, including operations in emerging markets, are subject to risks that may significantly harm our sales, increase our costs or otherwise damage our business, including:

The commerce we conduct in the international marketplace makes us subject to tariffs, trade restrictions and other taxes when the raw materials or components we purchase, and the products we ship, cross international borders. Trade tensions between the United States and China, Mexico, Canada and other countries have been escalating in recent years. Recently, the U.S. presidential administration has announced new and increased tariffs on a broad range of imported goods, including on imports from China, Vietnam and Mexico. U.S. tariff impositions against certain exports have been followed by retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports to certain countries. Certain of the products we purchase from manufacturers in China, Vietnam and Mexico have been or may in the future be subject to these tariffs, which, to the extent we alter our pricing as a result of such tariffs, could make our products less competitive than those of our competitors whose inputs are not subject to these tariffs. Products we sell into certain foreign markets could also become subject to similar retaliatory tariffs, making the products we sell uncompetitive compared to similar products not subjected to such import tariffs. The U.S. presidential administration is continuing to review its U.S. trade policy and tariffs generally, leading to continued uncertainty and volatility in U.S. and global financial and economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation and diminished expectations for the economy, and ultimately reduced demand for our products. U.S. tariff impositions against Vietnam, China or Mexico could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement also include certain financial covenants that require us to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Net Leverage Ratio and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (in each case, measured on a trailing four-quarter basis). We entered into the Fourth Amendment that, among other things, amends the Credit Agreement by (i) waiving compliance with (x) the maximum Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant and (y) the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenant, in each case, for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2025 and ending September 30, 2025. The maximum Net Leverage Ratio and the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will reset for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter through the Maturity Date. See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements - Note 4, “Debt” for additional information. There can be no guarantee that we will not breach these covenants in the future. Our ability to comply with our financial covenants and the other covenants and restrictions under our Credit Facilities may be affected by events and factors beyond our control, and there can be no guarantee that we will be able to further amend our Credit Facilities in order to avoid or mitigate the risk of any potential breach that may occur in the future. Our failure to comply with our financial covenants as described above, or with any of the other covenants or restrictions under our Credit Facilities, could result in an event of default under our Credit Facilities. This would permit the lending banks under such facilities to take certain actions, including terminating all outstanding commitments and declaring all amounts due under our Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable, including all outstanding borrowings, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and prepayment premiums with respect to such borrowings and any terminated commitments. In addition, the Lenders would have the right to proceed against the collateral we granted to them, which includes substantially all of our assets. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Fourth Amendment also contains covenants that the Company shall take certain actions in furtherance of a Refinancing Transaction or a Sale Transaction (each as defined in the Fourth Amendment), certain of which have not been satisfied as of the date of this Quarterly Report (such covenant, the “Outstanding Milestone Covenants”). The administrative agent under the Credit Agreement has the discretion to extend the compliance dates for the Outstanding Milestone Covenants. If the applicable compliance dates are not satisfied by the Company or extended by the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, the Company would be in default under the Credit Agreement and if such default is not cured within 15 days, it will mature into an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to pressure on our financial covenants arising from the current retail environment and potentially insufficient working capital and potential non-compliance with other covenants as defined within the Credit Agreement.
Previous wording
The challenging retail environment, in particular as a result of the current tariff environment, has significantly adversely impacted and is expected to continue to significantly adversely impact our performance. These factors have placed significant pressure on our ability to comply with (i) the maximum Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (ii) the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (iii) the minimum Qualified Cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement) financial covenants (collectively, the “Financial Covenants”),set forth in our Credit Agreement. Failure to satisfy the Financial Covenants, without a timely cure or waiver would result in an event of default under our Credit Agreement. If an event of default under our Credit Agreement occurs and is not cured or waived, the Required 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 Required Lenders would have the right to enforce their security interests against the collateral pledged to them, which includes substantially all of our assets.

There is no assurance that we will successfully carry out our plan to generate liquidity as described in Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. If our planned operational initiatives are not successful or if we are unable to obtain additional financing or renegotiate the terms of our existing credit facilities or identify and successfully execute on other business opportunities or strategic transactions, we may need to scale back or discontinue certain or all of our operations to reduce costs or seek bankruptcy protection.

There is no assurance that we will successfully carry out our plan to generate liquidity as described in Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. In addition, our Board of Directors has initiated a formal review process to evaluate strategic alternatives for the Company, including a potential sale of the Company. The Company has not set a deadline or definitive timetable for the completion of the strategic alternatives review process, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any particular outcome. If our planned operational initiatives are not successful or if we are unable to obtain additional financing or renegotiate the terms of our existing credit facilities or identify and successfully execute on other business opportunities or strategic transactions, we may need to scale back or discontinue certain or all of our operations to reduce costs or seek bankruptcy protection.

The Credit Facilities under the Credit Agreement will mature in September 2026. The Credit Agreement includes a covenant requiring us to meet certain milestones between the date hereof and February 2026, which are designed to result in either a refinancing of our credit facilities or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company, in each case, leading to the full repayment of our credit facilities (such covenant, the “Milestone Covenant”). We may not be able to timely refinance our existing debt, secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all, including due to our current financial condition, market volatility and uncertainty resulting from international conflicts or geopolitical tensions, among other factors. Failure to satisfy the Milestone Covenant, without a timely cure or waiver would result in an event of default under our Credit Agreement. If an event of default under our Credit Agreement occurs and is not cured or waived, the Required 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.

Our Board has initiated a formal review process to evaluate strategic alternatives for the Company, including a potential sale of the Company, aimed at maximizing value for our stockholders and complying with the aforementioned Milestone Covenant in the Credit Agreement. The process of reviewing strategic alternatives may be costly, time consuming and complex and we may incur significant costs related to this review, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees and expenses and other related charges. There can be no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives will result in the identification or consummation of any transaction or action and there is no defined timeline for completion of the review process. There can be no assurance that any potential strategic alternative, if identified, evaluated and consummated, will have a positive impact on our business or provide greater value to our stockholders than that reflected in the current price of our common stock.

We have generally experienced rapid growth over the last several years, which has placed a strain on our managerial, operational, product design and development, sales and marketing, administrative and financial infrastructure. For example, we increased our total number of full-time employees from 702 as of December 31, 2018 to 1,108 as of June 30, 2025. We also lease distribution centers in the U.S. and the United Kingdom and utilize third-party distribution centers in Mexico and the Netherlands. Our success depends in part upon our ability to manage our growth effectively. To do so, we must continue to increase the productivity of our existing employees and to hire, train and manage new employees as needed, which we may not be able to do successfully or without compromising our corporate culture. See “Our success is critically dependent on the efforts and dedication of our officers and other employees, and the loss of one or more key employees, or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel and maintain our corporate culture, could adversely affect our business.” To manage domestic and international growth of our operations and personnel, we have invested and continue to invest in the development of a domestic enterprise resource planning system, warehouse management systems, additional platforms to support our direct-to-consumer experience, and capital build out of new leased warehouse and office spaces. We will need to continue to improve our product development, supply chain, financial and management controls and our reporting processes and procedures to support our infrastructure and new business initiatives. These additional investments will increase our operating costs, which will make it more difficult for us to offset any future revenue shortfalls by reducing expenses in the short term. Moreover, if we fail to scale our operations or manage our growth successfully, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our license agreements typically provide that our licensors own the intellectual property rights in the products we design and sell under the license. As a result, upon termination of the license, we would no longer have the right to sell these products, while our licensors could engage a competitor to do so. We believe our ability to retain our license agreements depends, in large part, on the strength of our relationships with our licensors. Any events or developments adversely affecting those relationships, or changes in our management team, could adversely affect our ability to maintain and renew our license agreements on similar terms or at all. No assurance can be made that the recent and any future changes in our leadership or changes in our financial condition will not have a material adverse impact on our relationships with licensors, and if we fail to manage our licensor relationships successfully, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. Our top ten licensors collectively accounted for approximately 64% and 68% of our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Moreover, while we have separate licensing arrangements with Disney, LucasFilm and Marvel, these parties are all under common ownership by Disney and collectively these licensors accounted for approximately 29% and 35% of our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The termination or failure to renew one or more of our license agreements, or the renewal of a license agreement on less favorable terms, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we may enter into additional license agreements in the future, the terms of such license agreements may be less favorable than the terms of our existing license agreements.

Our license agreements are complex, and typically grant our licensors the right to audit our compliance with the terms and conditions of such agreements. Any such audit could result in a dispute over whether we have paid the proper royalties and a requirement that we pay additional royalties, the amounts of which could be material. As of June 30, 2025, we had a reserve of $27.2 million on our balance sheet related to ongoing and future royalty audits, based on estimates of the costs we expect to incur. In addition to royalty payments, these agreements as a whole impose numerous other obligations on us, including, among other things, obligations to:

Historically, a majority of all of our net sales have been derived from our retail customers and distributors, upon which we rely to reach the consumers who are the ultimate purchasers of our products. In the United States, we primarily sell our products directly to specialty retailers, mass-market retailers and e-commerce sites. In international markets, we sell our products directly to similar retailers, primarily in Europe, through our subsidiary Funko UK, Ltd. We also sell our products to distributors for sale to retailers in the United States and in certain countries internationally, typically in those countries in which we do not currently have a direct presence. Our top ten wholesale customers represented approximately 31% of our sales for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For example, our former Chief Executive Officer, Brian Mariotti and another former Funko executive, have created a collectible products company that recently launched with certain products that compete with our offerings. Mr. Mariotti may rely on licensing, supplier, marketing and other relationships he established while at Funko to produce, market and sell his products. He may be able to sell competing products for higher margins or at lower cost, and he may divert demand for our products, particularly from our customers who are collectors, all of which may adversely affect our sales and profitability in the future.

Our gross margin has historically fluctuated, primarily as a result of changes in product mix, changes in our costs, including inventory management, price competition and acquisitions. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our gross margins (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), calculated as net sales less cost of sales as a percentage of net sales, were 36.2% and 41.1%, respectively. Our current or historical gross margins may not be sustainable or predictive of future gross margins, and our gross margin may decrease over time. A decrease in gross margin can be the result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to:

Consumer demand for pop culture products can and does shift rapidly and without warning. As a result, even if our product offerings are initially successful, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to maintain their popularity with consumers. Accordingly, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to continually design and introduce new products that consumers find appealing. To the extent we are unable to do so, our sales and profitability will be adversely affected. This is particularly true given the concentration of our sales under certain of our brand categories, particularly Core Collectible. Sales of our Core Collectible branded category products accounted for approximately 79% and 74% of our sales for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. If consumer demand for our Core Collectible branded category products were to decrease, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected unless we were able to develop and market additional products that generated an equivalent amount of net sales at a comparable gross margin, which there is no guarantee we would be able to do.

Our license agreements usually also require us to pay minimum royalty guarantees, which may in some cases be greater than what we are ultimately able to recoup from actual sales. When our licensing agreements require minimum royalty guarantees, we accrue a royalty liability based on the contractually required percentage, as revenues are earned. In the case that a minimum royalty guarantee is not expected to be met through sales, we will accrue up to the minimum amount required to be paid. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we recorded reserves of $10.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively, related to prepaid royalties we estimated would not be recovered through sales. Acquiring or renewing licenses may require the payment of minimum guaranteed royalties that we consider to be too high to be profitable, which may result in losing licenses that we currently hold when they become available for renewal, or missing business opportunities for new licenses. Additionally, we have no guarantee that any particular property we license will translate into a successful product. Products tied to a particular content release may be developed and released before demand for the underlying content is known. The underperformance of any such product may result in reduced sales and operating profit for us.

Our intellectual property is a valuable asset of our business. As of June 30, 2025, we owned approximately 101 registered U.S. trademarks, 338 registered international trademarks, 12 pending U.S. trademark applications and 27 pending international trademark applications. The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the value associated with our product design, our proprietary brands and the properties we license. Although certain of our intellectual property is registered in the United States and in several of the foreign countries in which we operate, there can be no assurances with respect to the rights associated with such intellectual property in those countries, including our ability to register, use, maintain or defend key trademarks and copyrights. We rely on a combination of trademark, trade dress, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our intellectual property or other proprietary rights. However, these laws, procedures and restrictions provide only limited and uncertain protection and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated, including by counterfeiters and parallel importers. In addition, our intellectual property portfolio in many foreign countries is less extensive than our portfolio in the United States, and the laws of foreign countries, including many emerging markets in which our products are produced or sold, may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The costs required to protect our trademarks and copyrights may be substantial.

Our officers and employees are at the heart of all of our efforts. It is their skill, creativity and hard work that drive our success. In particular, our success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and performance of our senior management team. We are dependent on their talents and continuing employment, and believe they are integral to our relationships with our licensors, certain of our key retail customers and to our overall selling and creative design processes. In July 2025, we announced that Michael Lunsford, a member of our Board of Directors, was appointed as our Interim Chief Executive Officer, succeeding our former Chief Executive Officer, Cynthia Williams. The recent and any future changes in our leadership could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The loss or temporary absence of any member of our senior management team, or of any other key employees, or the inability to successfully complete planned management transitions, could impair our ability to execute our business plan and could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not currently maintain key person life insurance policies on any member of our senior management team or on our other key employees.

Mariotti, et al., relating to our corporate “Up-C” structure and bringing direct claims for breach of fiduciary duties against certain current and former officers and directors, seeking declaratory, monetary, and injunctive relief. On March 31, 2022, we moved to dismiss the action. In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on May 25, 2022. The amendment did not materially change the claims at issue, and the Defendants again moved to dismiss on August 12, 2022. On December 15, 2022, Plaintiff opposed the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and also moved for attorneys’ fees. On December 18, 2023, the Court denied Defendants’ motion to dismiss and denied Plaintiffs’ application for an interim fee. On March 13, 2024, the representative plaintiff moved to withdraw as a plaintiff in the action, and another purported stockholder moved to intervene as representative plaintiff. On October 28, 2024, the Court granted the plaintiff’s motion to withdraw and granted the new representative plaintiff’s motion to intervene.

On June 2, 2023, a purported stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, captioned Studen v. Funko, Inc., et al. The Complaint alleges that the Company and certain individual defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, as well as Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly materially misleading statements in documents filed with the SEC, as well as in earnings calls and presentations to investors, regarding a planned upgrade to its enterprise resource planning system and the relocation of a distribution center, as well as by omitting material facts about the same subjects necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading. The lawsuits seek, among other things, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 17, 2023, the Court appointed lead plaintiff, and on August 29, 2023, the parties submitted a joint stipulated scheduling order. Plaintiff’s amended complaint was filed October 19, 2023. The amendment adds additional allegations by including accounts from purported former employees and contractors. Plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of investors who purchased or acquired Funko common stock between March 3, 2022 and March 1, 2023.
