Current report
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that U.S. tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) on goods imported into the U.S. were unauthorized. The Company’s total IEEPA tariffs paid as of the date of this report is approximately $20 million. The ruling did not address potential refunds, and therefore the ultimate availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds of these tariffs is highly uncertain. The federal government may attempt to impose new or similar tariffs under alternative statutory mechanisms. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on our business. This has led and may lead to further 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. We will continue to monitor changes to the import and export policies of the U.S. and other countries that could impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Current report
Net sales were $200.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 5.3%, compared to $190.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net sales was due primarily to increased sales of core Pop! products and the impact of price increases that went into effect during the third-quarter of 2025, offset by a decline in sales of Loungefly products.

The challenging retail environment, in particular as a result of the tariffs imposed in 2025, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs or export controls by other countries, has adversely impacted and is expected to adversely impact our performance. On February 13, 2026, the Credit Agreement Parties entered into an amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") with the lenders under the Credit Agreement in effect prior to the Fifth Amendment (the "Prior Credit Agreement") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Fifth Amendment among other things, amended the Prior Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date of the loans under the Prior Credit Agreement from September 17, 2026 to December 31, 2027, and (ii) amend the financial covenants applicable to FAH, LLC and its subsidiaries under the Prior Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) waive the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 and the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, (b) provide FAH, LLC additional cushion with respect to the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027 relative to the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in the Prior Credit Agreement, (c) introduce a minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenant for the six-month period ending June 30, 2026, (d) waive the maximum Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 and the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026, (e) subject to certain usage restrictions, permit FAH, LLC to forego testing of the maximum Net Leverage Ratio, minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, minimum Qualified Cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenants (collectively, the "Financial Covenants") for any test period (to the extent required to be tested in such test period) if FAH, LLC makes a voluntary prepayment of the loans under the Credit Agreement in an amount not less than $10.0 million prior to the delivery of a compliance certificate for such test period, (f) requiring amortization payments on the outstanding revolving loans, with each such amortization payment in respect of the outstanding revolving loans permanently reducing the revolving commitments and (g) requiring quarterly mandatory prepayment of the revolving loans with cash (subject to certain exceptions) and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0 million, with each such prepayment permanently reducing the revolving commitments. Consistent with the Prior Credit Agreement, the Credit Parties are subject to a covenant to hold no less than $10.0 million of Qualified Cash at any time.
Current report
As a result of the Fifth Amendment of the Credit Agreement, we expect that our existing resources and future cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements, including compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. As our financial condition continues to improve as a result of the 2025 implemented price increases and cost savings initiatives, we plan to either amend the Credit Agreement to further extend the maturity, seek alternative financing arrangements prior to the maturity of the debt, or opportunistically pursue other business opportunities or strategic transactions with the assistance of financial advisors. However, there can be no assurance these plans will be completed. If we are unable to complete these plans before the end of the fiscal year December 31, 2026, the debt would reclassify from long-term liability to a current liability. If the Credit Agreement is not refinanced before its maturity date of December 31, 2027 on terms that are acceptable to us or, if we do not successfully enter into a transaction(s) to strengthen our balance sheet and increase our financial flexibility, our liquidity, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition would be materially adversely impacted.

Financial Condition
Current report
We cannot assure you that our cash provided by operating activities and cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our future needs. There is currently no availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, the Credit Agreement Parties were in compliance with all of the covenants then in effect and required to be tested under the Credit Agreement, however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with the Financial Covenants, or that we will be able to further amend the Credit Agreement should circumstances arise in the future.
Current report
If our operating results fail to improve or if we are otherwise unable to maintain compliance with the Financial Covenants 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, or if our debt matures and we are unable to repay amounts owed in full, we may have to obtain additional financing or refinancing. 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.

On March 31, 2026, an amortization payment in an amount equal to $4,500,000 was paid with respect to the Term Loan Facility. At the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026, (i) the Term Loan Facility, will amortize in quarterly installments equal to $4,125,000, with any outstanding balance due and payable on the Maturity Date and (ii) the revolving credit facility will amortize in quarterly installments equal to $375,000 (accompanied by permanent commitment reductions), with any outstanding balance due and payable on the Maturity Date.

In addition, the Credit Agreement requires FAH, LLC and its subsidiaries to, subject to the proviso at the end of this paragraph, comply with the following Financial Covenants: (i) on a quarterly basis, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026, a maximum Net Leverage Ratio of 2.50:1.00, (ii) on a quarterly basis, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026, a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of (a) 0.75:1.00 with respect to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026, (b) 0.85:1.00 with respect to the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026, (c) 1.00:1.00 with respect to the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027, and (d) 1.25:1.00 with respect to the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2027 and each fiscal quarter thereafter, (iii) at all times, a minimum Qualified Cash covenant of $10.0 million, and (iv) for the six-month period ending June 30, 2026, a minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant of $15.1 million; provided that if, in any fiscal quarter, FAH, LLC voluntarily prepays, prior to the date on which a compliance certificate is required to be delivered in respect of such fiscal quarter, more than $10.0 million of principal of then-outstanding loans, then all of the applicable Financial Covenants (other than the minimum Qualified Cash covenant), to the extent required to be tested in such fiscal quarter, will be deemed waived for such fiscal quarter (the “Covenant Cure Right”); provided, further, that (x) the Covenant Cure Right is not permitted to be exercised in two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, and (y) if the Covenant Cure Right is to be exercised in any fiscal quarter, FAH, LLC needs to have complied with the maximum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio required in respect of the preceding fiscal quarter.
Current report
We have evaluated potential goodwill impairment triggering events as of March 31, 2026, 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 reassess the recoverability of the carrying value our identified intangible and other long-lived assets, to the extent conditions necessitate an impairment assessment.

Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $395.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 11.3%, compared to $446.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased primarily as a result of decreased sales, as discussed above, offset by increased duty costs.

The decrease in gross margin (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by increased shipping, freight and duty costs and increased inventory reserves as a result of comparable nine months ended September 30, 2024 product mix sell-through and related inventory reserve benefit.

Previous report
In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2025, management evaluated our future liquidity, forecasted operating results and ability to comply with the covenants under its Credit Agreement, for the twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements and determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements, principally based on our forecast of the expected effects of the announced tariffs and other facts and conditions, anticipated non-compliance with the maximum Net Leverage Ratio and minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenants as of the end of the quarter ending December 31, 2025 and future quarters and our potential non-compliance with the covenants with respect to a Refinancing Transaction or a Sale Transaction (each as defined the Fourth Amendment).
Previous 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. On July 16, 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Fourth Amendment”) to 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”), that among other things, amends the Credit Agreement by waiving compliance with (x) the maximum Net Leverage Ratio and (y) the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenants, in each case, for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The Fourth Amendment also contains covenants that we shall take certain actions in furtherance of a Refinancing Transaction or a Sale Transaction (each as defined in the Fourth Amendment), and certain milestone covenants have not been satisfied as of the date of this Quarterly Report (such covenants, the “Outstanding Milestone Covenants”). The administrative agent under the Credit Agreement has the discretion to extend the compliance dates for the Outstanding Milestone Covenants. On November 5, 2025, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and the Credit Agreement Parties confirmed the first of the Outstanding Milestone Covenants has been extended until November 25, 2025. If the first of the Outstanding Milestone Covenants has not been met by November 25, 2025, the Administrative Agent has the right to secure a financial advisor on behalf of itself and other secured parties, at the Company’s expense, to assist in the refinancing process. As long as the financial advisor remains engaged, the Company would receive automatic periodic extensions until the Outstanding Milestone Covenants are satisfied. If the Outstanding Milestone Covenants are not satisfied by us or extended by the Administrative Agent, the Company would be in default under the Credit Agreement and if such default is not cured within 15 days, it would mature into an event of default under the Credit Agreement.
Previous report
If an event of default under the 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 proceed against the collateral pledged to them, which includes substantially all of our assets.
Previous report
In addition, based on our forecast of the expected effects of the announced tariffs and other facts and conditions, we anticipate that our cash flows may be insufficient to support working capital needs within the next twelve months and, relatedly, we may not be able to comply with our minimum Qualified Cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenant in future periods.
Previous report
The Credit Agreement matures in September 2026, however, we are not forecasted to have sufficient cash reserves to fully repay the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement at that time, or an earlier date, if applicable, and as such, the Credit Agreement will need to be refinanced. See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements - Note 4, “Debt” for additional information.
Previous 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 our obligations under the Credit Agreement. The plan includes:
Previous report
•Continuing to monitor our commercial pricing strategy, working 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.
Previous report
•Gaining positive cash-inflow from operating activities through continuous overhead cost reductions and increased sales of higher margin products and working capital management, including timing of accounts receivable collections. We have a significant presence in international markets, which are not impacted by tariffs, and will continue to pursue strategies to grow those markets.
Previous report
•Raising additional cash through the issuance of equity or debt or assessing potential amendments, including additional covenant relief 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, including a potential sale of the Company. We will need to raise additional cash or refinance our Credit Agreement in the near term.
Previous report
While management believes that the measures described in the above plan will be adequate to satisfy our liquidity requirements, there can be no assurance that management’s liquidity plan will be successfully implemented, our lenders will agree to waive, modify and/or amend the maximum Net Leverage Ratio and minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants for the periods of forecasted covenant noncompliance, the Administrative Agent will agree to further extend the compliance dates related to the Outstanding Milestone Covenants, if necessary, or that the Credit Agreement can be refinanced before its maturity date, which all raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
Previous 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 retail environment and potentially insufficient working capital and potential non-compliance with other covenants as defined within the Credit Agreement” for additional information.
Previous report
In addition, the Credit Agreement requires FAH, LLC and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Net Leverage Ratio of 2.50:1.00 and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25:1.00 (in each case, measured on a trailing four-quarter basis). The Fourth Amendment waives the maximum Net Leverage Ratio and the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants under the Credit Agreement for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 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. The Fourth Amendment also contains covenants that we shall take certain actions in furtherance of a Refinancing Transaction or a Sale Transaction. For additional information regarding the terms of the Fourth Amendment, see Note 4, “Debt.”
Previous report
In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2025, management evaluated the Company’s future liquidity, forecasts of the expected effects of announced tariffs and other facts and conditions, and ability to comply with the covenants under the Credit Agreement, and determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. We anticipate non-compliance with the maximum Net Leverage Ratio and minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenants as of the end of the quarter ending December 31, 2025 and future quarters and potential non-compliance with the covenants with respect to a Refinancing Transaction or a Sale Transaction (each as defined the Fourth Amendment). Failure to satisfy the covenants under the Credit Agreement, without a timely cure, waiver or amendment, would be considered an event of default. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have not satisfied the Outstanding Milestone Covenants. The Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement has the discretion to extend the compliance dates for the Outstanding Milestone Covenants. On November 5, 2025, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and the Credit Agreement Parties confirmed the first of the Outstanding Milestone Covenants have been extended until November 25, 2025. If the first of the Outstanding Milestone Covenants has not been met by November 25, 2025, the Administrative Agent has the right to secure a financial advisor on behalf of itself and other secured parties, at the Company’s expense, to assist in the refinancing process.

We sell our products in numerous countries across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa, with approximately 39% of our net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 generated outside of the United States. We also source, procure and assemble 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, including greater political uncertainty, new or increasing tariffs and general uncertainty over U.S. trade and tariff policies, unrest or instability in the United States, 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, rising interest rates and heightened 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. Moreover, tariffs on imports have adversely impacted and are expected to adversely impact our costs, and we have raised 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. For additional information regarding our financial condition, see “Liquidity and Financial Condition” below.

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 negotiated additional discounting for sell-through or canceled their orders. Moreover, tariffs on imports have adversely impacted and may in the future adversely impact our costs and we have raised 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. Additionally, tariffs could impact consumer discretionary spending in future periods.

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. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not measurements of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), income (loss) per share or any other performance measure derived 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, acquisition costs and other expenses, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other unusual or one-time items. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) attributable to Funko, Inc. adjusted for the reallocation of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests from the assumed exchange of all outstanding common units and options in FAH, LLC for newly issued-shares of Class A common stock of Funko, Inc. and further adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash charges and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, acquisition costs and other expenses, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and the income tax expense (benefit) effect of these adjustments. We define Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (1) the full exchange of all outstanding common units and options in FAH, LLC for newly issued-shares of Class A common stock of Funko, Inc. and (2) the dilutive effect of stock options and unvested common units, if any. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the same manner. We present the Non-GAAP Financial Measures because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

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, acquisition costs and other expenses, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses 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 normal recurring adjustments and other 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.

We have also created a plan, described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Introduction” above to generate additional liquidity. 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, Note 1, “Organization and Operations” and Note 4, “Debt”.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC (the “2024 10-K”).

Except as described above, there have been no material changes to our liquidity and capital commitments as described in our 2025 10-K.
Previous wording
Additional future liquidity needs may include tax distributions, interest payments, repayment of our debt facilities, 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.

Previous wording
While our customers in the retail industry typically operate in highly seasonal businesses, we have historically experienced only moderate seasonality in our business. Historically, over 50% of our net sales are made in the third and fourth quarters, primarily in the period from August through November, as our customers build up their inventories in anticipation of the holiday season. Historically, the first quarter of the year has represented the lowest volume of shipment and sales in our business and in the retail and toy industries generally and it is also the least profitable quarter due to the various fixed costs of the business. However, the rapid growth we experienced in recent years may have masked the full effects of seasonal factors on our business to date, and as such, seasonality may have a greater effect on our results of operations in future periods.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $246.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 3.6%, compared to $256.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by a $4.7 million decrease in personnel and related costs (including salary and related taxes/benefits, commissions and equity-based compensation), a $3.4 million decrease in facilities and rent related to decreased usage of third-party logistics sites, a $3.0 million decrease in administrative fees, offset by a $3.6 million increase in software expenses to support direct-to-consumer growth initiatives. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 38.9% and 33.9% of net sales for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The U.S. operations continue to be in a full valuation allowance position, resulting in no material U.S. federal or state income tax expense.
