Strong Gross Margin and Cost Controls Drive Increased Profitability

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Funko, Inc. ("Funko,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FNKO), a leading pop culture consumer products company, today reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Summary

  • Gross margin1 increased 30bps to 38.6%
  • SG&A expenses decreased 21% to $41.2 million
  • Net income of $15.6 million

  • Total liquidity3 of $106.9 million as of September 30, 2020
  • Cash flow from operations increased 87% to $28.1 million

Third Quarter 2020 Operating Highlights

  • Strong consumer demand within the domestic mass-market and third party e-commerce channels
  • Funko’s direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales increased more than 150% compared to prior year
  • Loungefly branded products grew 25% compared to prior year, driven by strong momentum on Loungefly.com and within wholesale channels
  • 70% of sales were attributable to evergreen content
  • Expansion of Adjusted EBITDA margin2 to 18.9% driven by strong gross margin1 and cost controls
  • Increased profitability, combined with close management of working capital, drove a 53% increase in total liquidity3 compared to prior year

"Our teams have executed well in 2020 despite the challenges presented by the pandemic," said Brian Mariotti, Chief Executive Officer. “In the third quarter, we outperformed revenue expectations, reflecting strength within our domestic mass market and digital channels. We also maintained strong gross margins and cost controls, which allowed us to deliver improved profitability. The quarter was highlighted by our successful evergreen programs, expanded product offerings and enhanced e-commerce capabilities, all of which are enabling us to drive increased engagement with our fans around the globe.”

"While we expect to face continued headwinds in specific channels and regions in the fourth quarter, we believe we are well positioned for the holiday season with our most diverse product offering yet and an expanded presence within key retail partners. Looking further ahead, we are staying focused on our four key strategies and remaining agile in the face of today's dynamic environment."

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Net sales decreased 14% to $191.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $223.3 million in the third quarter of 2019. The year-over-year decline was primarily attributable to the slower recovery from COVID-19 impacts within the domestic specialty channel and European region. These impacts were partially offset by growth within the domestic third party e-commerce and mass-market channel as well as the Company's own direct-to-consumer business.

In the third quarter of 2020, the number of active properties was 715, which represents a 14% increase from the third quarter of 2019. On a geographical basis, net sales in the United States decreased 4% to $140.9 million. Net sales internationally decreased 34% to $50.3 million, reflecting more significant impacts from COVID-19 primarily within the European region. On a product category basis, net sales of figures decreased 18% to $145.0 million. Net sales of other products decreased 1% to $46.2 million, reflecting strength in Loungefly branded products which increased 25% compared to the prior year due to strong momentum on Loungefly.com as well as at wholesale retailers.

Gross margin1 in the third quarter of 2020 increased 30 basis points to 38.6% compared to 38.3% in the third quarter of 2019. The increase primarily reflects improved product margins due to an increase in direct-to-consumer sales in the quarter, which were partially offset by increased shipping costs, freight costs and duties as a percentage of net sales.

SG&A expenses decreased 21% to $41.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $52.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting cost reduction initiatives put in place in the second quarter of 2020. The year over year decline was primarily due to lower professional fees, marketing, stock based compensation, personnel and fulfillment costs.

Net income in the third quarter of 2020 was $15.6 million compared to net income of $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, and Adjusted Net Income2 (non-GAAP) was $16.1 million in the third quarter of 2020 versus Adjusted Net Income2 (non-GAAP) of $19.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA2 (non-GAAP) in the third quarter of 2020 was $36.2 million, compared to $40.6 million in the third quarter of 2019. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to its most directly related GAAP measure is provided below.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total liquidity3 at the end of the third quarter totaled $106.9 million, an increase of 53% compared to the third quarter of 2019. Total liquidity was comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $31.9 million and total revolver availability of $75.0 million.

As of September 30, 2020, total debt was $208.1 million, a decrease of 12% compared to a year ago. Total debt includes the amount outstanding under the Company’s term loan facility, net of unamortized discounts. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company repaid all borrowings under its revolving line of credit.

Inventories at the end of the third quarter totaled $72.6 million, a decrease of 23% compared to a year ago.

Outlook

The Company anticipates that effects from the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 and currently expects net sales on a percentage basis to be down 10% to 8% compared to prior year, which includes approximately eight percentage points of pressure due to new pandemic-related closures and restrictions in the European region.

1 Gross margin is calculated as net sales less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of net sales.
2 Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release.
3 Total liquidity is calculated as cash and cash equivalents plus availability under the Company’s $75 million revolving credit facility.

Conference Call and Webcast

The Company will host a conference call at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time) today, November 5, 2020, to further discuss its third quarter results. A live webcast and replay of the event will be available on the Investor Relations section on the Company’s website at https://investor.funko.com.

Funko, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Margin and Adjusted Earnings 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), earnings (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 transaction costs and other expenses, customs investigation and related costs, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other unusual or one-time items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. We define Adjusted Net Income 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 transaction costs and other expenses, customs investigation and related costs, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other unusual or one-time items, and the income tax expense effect of these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income Margin is calculated as Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of net sales. We define Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income 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.

Management uses the Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

  • as a measurement of operating performance because they assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
  • for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;
  • as a consideration to assess incentive compensation for our employees;
  • to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
  • to evaluate our capacity to expand our business.

By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in this press release. Some of the limitations are:

  • such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
  • other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

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 transaction costs and other expenses, customs investigation and related costs, 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 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.

The following tables reconcile the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income (loss), for the periods presented:
