Oct 30 2025 10:30 BST

TORONTO , Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Spin Master Corp. ("Spin Master" or the "Company") (TSX: TOY) (www.spinmaster.com), a leading global children's entertainment company, today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company's full Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.com) and posted on the Company's web site at www.spinmaster.com. All financial information is presented in United States dollars ("$", "dollars" and "US$") and has been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand, except per share amounts and where otherwise indicated.

"This quarter, our Toys, Entertainment, and Digital Games once again captured the imagination of kids and parents and we grew our Toy market share within our total addressable market," said Christina Miller, CEO of Spin Master. "We are well-positioned for the holiday season with a broad range of our award-winning toys and brands featured on retailers' top toy lists, a first-ever PAW Patrol Christmas special set to air on broadcast networks, platforms and in theaters globally this November, and a robust lineup of new features, content releases, and strategic partnerships across our Digital Games business. Across our creative centres, we continue to execute on our strategy to unlock value through cross-collaboration, engaging consumers and driving long-term, sustainable, and profitable growth."

"Toy Revenue declined in the quarter due to the uncertain macroeconomic environment as well as the shift in retailer buying behaviour driven by the impact of tariffs," said Jonathan Roiter, Spin Master's Chief Financial Officer. "These impacts were partially offset by another strong quarter for Digital Games, reflecting improved monetization of our platforms. Our balance sheet and cash conversion is strong and we're making important investments in key areas to drive both growth and higher returns in future years."

Q3 2025 Operating Income was $151.0 million, a decrease of $52.2 million from $203.2 million, mainly driven by declines in Operating Income in the Toys segment of $54.7 million and in the Entertainment segment of $8.0 million, partially offset by an increase in the Digital Games segment of 10.8 million.

Q3 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ was 26.6% compared to 31.3%. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in revenue resulting in lower operating leverage.
