JAKKS Pacific Reports Strong Q2 Earnings Amid Growth in Licensed Products
JAKKS Pacific (NASDAQ: JAKK) reported second-quarter results that exceeded expectations, with global net sales rising to $139.2 million—a 17% increase year over year—driven by strong performance from licensed products such as Super Mario Bros., Disney, and Frozen lines. The company's adjusted EPS improved to $0.25 per share, while adjusted EBITDA reached $5.4 million for the quarter. North American sales rebounded 20% in Q2 following disruption caused by tariffs a year earlier, contributing significantly to overall growth. International sales also rose modestly during the period and grew strongly on a half-year basis. Despite challenges with bulky product deliveries affecting its outdoor seasonal business—where sales dropped 12%—JAKKS ended the quarter with $60.6 million in cash and maintained its quarterly dividend at $0.25 per share. The company is preparing for new product launches tied to Donkey Kong, Super Mario Wonder, and a Frozen-themed retailer exclusive ahead of the planned release of *Frozen 3* in fall 2027.
