WHEREAS the Parties desire to further amend the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment No. 7 (the Amended Employment Agreement, as amended by this Amendment No. 7, referred to as the "Employment Agreement").

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and obligations contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, pursuant to Section 21 of the 2010 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, agree as follows:

For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of any Additional Performance Bonus shall be based upon only the highest EBITDA Target Amount achieved by the Company for the applicable fiscal year and shall not be a cumulative amount.

Except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not, by implication or otherwise, alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the obligations, covenants or rights contained in the Amended Employment Agreement, all of which are ratified and confirmed in all respects by the Parties and shall continue in full force and effect. Each reference to the Employment Agreement or Amended Employment Agreement hereafter made in any document, agreement, instrument, notice or communication shall mean and be a reference to the Employment Agreement, as amended and modified hereby.

Management Commentary

“We continued to see strong retail sell-thru for our product throughout the third quarter,” said Stephen Berman, CEO of JAKKS Pacific. “Our top three toy accounts in the US sustained point of sale results in the high teens in Q3 as we head into the all-important fourth quarter. By leaning into our heritage as an FOB-first company, we’ve managed to ship more of our product earlier in the year to avoid excessive supply-chain expenses and mitigate out-of-stock risks at retail. As a result, our customers are ready for the holiday season with a great range of product and promotional plans. We are on track to deliver full-year 2022 revenue growth around 20% vs. prior year for the second year in a row, which are exceptional results that the team and I are very proud of.

 

“In addition to the strength in our toy segment, our costume business is also performing at a very high level. We have already shipped 25% more costumes this year than the amount we shipped in all of 2021. Q3 2022 Disguise costumes sales were down compared to Q3 2021 as Halloween customers ordered product earlier this year. We are on track for our biggest year with Disguise since JAKKS acquired the company in 2008, and we are also excited about that momentum continuing into 2023.

 

“We have been clear about our desire to reduce our long-term debt and cash interest expense. To that end, based on our strong performance and near-term outlook we decided to make an optional $17.5 million principal pay-down of our term loan this past quarter. This brings our year-to-date principal payments to $29.0 million, or 29% of our balance as of January 1st of this year, and results in a principal balance of $69.5 million.”

 

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Net sales for the third quarter of 2022 were $323.0 million, up 36% versus $237.0 million last year. The Toys/Consumer Products segment sales were up 56% globally (50% North America; 85% International) and as noted sales of Disguise costumes were down 17% compared to last year (-23% North America; 144% International) as Halloween customers ordered product earlier this year than the traditional seasonality.

 

Year-to-date Toys/Consumer Products sales were up 58% over the comparable 2021 period. Year-to-date the Costumes segment was up 36% over the comparable 2021 period.

 

Year-to-date adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $57.5 million ($5.68 per diluted share), compared to $22.3 million ($3.15 per diluted share) in the first nine months of 2021. Year-to-date adjusted EBITDA of $88.5 million (13.3% of net sales), was double the $44.2 million (10.2% of net sales) in the comparable 2021 period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the preliminary results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP included in this release, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information including Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP metric that excludes various items that are detailed in the financial tables and accompanying footnotes reconciling GAAP to non-GAAP results contained in this release. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because the information may allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance and certain components of the Company’s results. In addition, the Company believes that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s ability to make period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating results. This information should be considered in addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP results. The Company has reconciled the non-GAAP financial information included in this release to the nearest GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)

 

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures:

 

This press release and accompanying schedules provide certain information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss), which may be considered non-GAAP financial measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP financial measures below, as required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization and adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-cash charges, such as reorganization expenses and restricted stock compensation expense. Net income (loss) is similarly adjusted and tax-effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are not recognized financial measures under GAAP, but we believe that they are useful in measuring our operating performance. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures enhances an overall understanding of the Companys past financial performance, and provides useful information to the investor by comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis.

 

Investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining the Companys operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
