Adjusted EBITDA Well Above Expectation; Debt Reduced by $15M --

EVERETT, Wash. August 6, 2026 -- Funko, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNKO), a leading pop culture lifestyle brand, today reported its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter Financial Results Summary: 2026 vs 2025

•Net sales increased 7% to $207.7 million, compared with $193.5 million

•Gross profit was $117.6 million, equal to gross margin of 56.6%, compared with $62.0 million, equal to gross margin of 32.1%

•SG&A expenses were $79.7 million compared with $82.3 million, and improved 413 basis points as a percentage of sales to 38.4% from 42.5%

•Net income was $15.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $40.5 million, or $0.74 per diluted share

•Adjusted net income* was $15.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share*, compared with an adjusted net loss* of $26.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share*

•Adjusted EBITDA* was $40.9 million, compared with negative Adjusted EBITDA* of $16.5 million

•Gross margin, net income, adjusted net income* and adjusted EBITDA* for the second quarter of 2026 each included a pre-tax benefit of $25.4 million related to the recognition of expected tariff refunds and the release of accrued tariffs

“Q2 was a strong quarter for Funko. We delivered 7% sales growth, above the high end of our guidance range. Core Collectibles grew 9%, and gross margin reached a record high for the second consecutive quarter. Together with continued SG&A discipline, that performance drove adjusted EBITDA well above our guidance range.

These results are evidence that Make Culture Pop! is becoming a more deliberate and disciplined growth engine. We are getting better at identifying where fan demand is forming, moving faster to turn those signals into distinctive and repeatable products, and scaling them through the channels with the strongest economics. That progress showed up in broad-based POS momentum across theatrical, anime, gaming and sports, as well as rapid-response releases around live cultural moments and the launch of POP! Mystery.

At the same time, we are improving the quality of the business through tighter assortments, better SKU productivity, continued cost discipline, and concentrating our resources behind the products, fandoms and channels with the greatest demand and return potential.”
