- Toy Gross Product Sales1 increased by $42.7 million to $413.7 million, primarily driven by shipments ahead of the upcoming theatrical release of PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie.

Constant Currency Toy Gross Product Sales1 was $410.9 million, an increase of 10.8%.
- Sales Allowances increased by $4.1 million to $53.0 million. As a percentage of Toy Gross Product Sales1, Sales Allowances decreased to 12.8% from 13.2% primarily driven by a change in geographic and customer mix.
- Toys Operating Income was $34.3 million compared to Toys Operating Loss of $39.7 million. The change was primarily driven by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariff refund ("Tariff Refund") of $37.9 million in the current year, higher Toy Revenue and a shift in timing of marketing spend compared to the prior year, partially offset by higher selling expenses. Toys Operating Margin was 9.5% compared to (12.3)%.
- Toys Adjusted EBITDA1 was $24.0 million compared to $(0.7) million. The increase was primarily driven by higher Toy Revenue, lower marketing expenses, partially offset by higher administrative and selling expenses.

Liquidity
The Company has a committed unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with a borrowing capacity of $510.0 million and contains certain financial covenants. On May 26, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to amend its existing Facility, which now matures on May 26, 2031. The amendment also introduced an additional three-year revolver tranche with a borrowing capacity of $225.0 million that matures on May 26, 2029. This new tranche was used to settle the $225.0 million non-revolving credit facility ("Acquisition Facility") that was originally entered into on November 20, 2023 to fund the acquisition of Melissa & Doug, which was cancelled on May 26, 2026.
As at June 30, 2026, there was $150.0 million outstanding (December 31, 2025 - $42.0 million) under the Facility, no amount outstanding (December 31, 2025 - $225.0 million) under the Acquisition Facility, and $20.6 million of bank overdraft outstanding (December 31, 2025 - $nil). During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company drew $50.0 million (2025 - $25.0 million) and $20.6 million (2025 - $nil) on the Facility and bank overdraft, respectively, and repaid $167.0 million (2025 - $30.0 million) against the Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the weighted average interest rates on the Facility and Acquisition Facility were 5.5% and 5.2%, respectively (2025 - 5.9% and 5.6%).
As at June 30, 2026, the Company had available liquidity of $627.3 million, comprised of $48.5 million in cash and $578.8 million under the Company's committed credit facilities.
Cash Flows for Q2 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $57.8 million compared to $26.1 million driven by change in net income, adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by changes in non-cash working capital. Changes in non-cash working capital increased by $6.3 million as compared to a decrease of $45.9 million.
Cash used in investing activities was $38.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $43.1 million primarily as a result of lower investments in Entertainment content development and leasehold improvements, partially offset by higher investments in moulds, dies and tools.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $81.0 million compared to $4.2 million, driven by repayment of $75.0 million towards the Facility (2025 - $nil), lease payments of $8.1 million (2025 - $10.6 million) and shares repurchased under the Company's NCIB for $9.3 million (2025 - $10.6 million), partially offset by $20.6 million drawn from the bank overdraft (2025 - $nil) and $nil drawn against the Facility (2025 - $25.0 million).
Free Cash Flow1 was $19.2 million compared to $(15.2) million, primarily due to higher net income, adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by changes in non-cash working capital.
Dividends
The Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of C$0.12 per outstanding subordinate voting share and multiple voting share, payable on October 9, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 25, 2026.
