Playboy, Inc. (formerly known as PLBY Group, Inc. from February 10, 2021 through June 24, 2025, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), together with its subsidiaries through which it conducts business, is a global consumer lifestyle company marketing the Playboy brand through a wide range of direct-to-consumer products, Playboy magazine, licensing initiatives, digital subscriptions and content, and online and location-based entertainment, in addition to the sale of direct-to-consumer products through its Honey Birdette brand.

The interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, and the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2026 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three-month periods are also unaudited. The interim condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future annual or interim period. The interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2026.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

We regularly assess these estimates, including, but not limited to, valuation of our trademarks and trade names; valuation of our contingent consideration liabilities; valuation of our income taxes; valuation of any authorized and issued preferred stock; the adequacy of reserves associated with accounts receivable and inventory; unredeemed gift cards and store credits; licensing commission accruals; and assessment of the consolidation of any variable interest entities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material to the financial position and results of operations.

We maintain certain cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. We periodically evaluate the credit worthiness of the financial institutions with which we maintain cash deposits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and do not believe that there is any material credit risk to our cash. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the wide variety of customers to whom our products are sold and/or licensed, with the exception of one licensee as described in the table below.

________________________ (1) Represents minimum guaranteed royalties from licensed digital operations of our Playboy Plus, Playboy TV (online and linear) and Playboy Club digital businesses to Byborg Enterprises SA (“Byborg”) pursuant to a License & Management Agreement (the “LMA”) we entered into with Byborg in the fourth quarter of 2024. Refer to Note 19, Related Party Transactions, within the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K , filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026, for details regarding the LMA.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our restricted cash primarily related to a cash collateralized letter of credit we maintained in connection with the lease of our Los Angeles headquarters, a cash collateralized letter of credit in relation to the lease of office space in Miami Beach, and Honey Birdette’s term deposit in relation to its Sydney office lease.

Our financial performance has improved as we have become a more capital-light enterprise. Our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $1.4 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reported a net operating loss of $1.6 million, an improvement from an operating loss of $6.3 million in the prior year comparative period. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $30.2 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, an improvement from $23.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025. We expect our capital expenditures and working capital requirements in 2026 to be largely consistent with 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants under our senior secured credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”), and there is no testing of our Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) until the quarter ending June 30, 2026. However, due to ongoing negative macroeconomic factors and their uncertain impacts on our business, results of operations and cash flows, we could experience material decreases to net sales and operating cash flows and materially higher operating losses, and we could then experience difficulty remaining in compliance with such covenants. Refer to Note 8, Debt, for further details regarding the terms of our A&R Credit Agreement and the term loans thereunder.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although consequences of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future, and cash requirements may fluctuate based on the timing and extent of many factors, such as those discussed above, we believe our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our obligations as they become due under the A&R Credit Agreement and our other obligations for at least one year following the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We may seek additional equity or debt financing in the future to satisfy capital requirements, respond to adverse changes in our circumstances or unforeseen events, or fund growth opportunities. However, in the event that additional financing is required from third-party sources, we may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all.

We account for gift cards sold to customers by recording a liability in other current liabilities and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets at the time of sale, which is recognized as revenue when redeemed or when we have determined the likelihood of redemption to be remote, which is referred to as gift card breakage. Depending on the jurisdiction in which we operate, gift cards sold to customers have expiration dates ranging from three to five years from the date of sale, or they do not expire and may be subject to escheatment rights. Our gift card liability totaled $1.6 million, $1.6 million and $1.7 million as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Revenue recognized from unredeemed gift card beginning balances was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

We classify assets and liabilities as held for sale, collectively referred to as a “disposal group”, when management commits to a formal plan to actively market the assets for sale at a price reasonable in relation to fair value, it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan, the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been initiated, and the sale of the assets is expected to be completed within one year. A disposal group that is classified as held for sale is initially measured at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. The fair value of a disposal group less any costs to sell is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and any subsequent changes are reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale.

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or is structured such that its equity holders do not have power over the activities of the entity; have voting rights, as a group, that are not proportionate to their economic interests; or are not exposed to the residual losses or benefits of the entity. At the inception of a contractual agreement, we determine whether we hold a variable interest in a legal entity that is a VIE and whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If we conclude we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the accounts of that VIE. We regularly review and reconsider previous conclusions regarding whether we hold a variable interest in a potential VIE, the status of an entity as a VIE, and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net loss. Our other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments attributable to Honey Birdette’s operations. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Total net foreign currency transaction gains were $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Under this ASU, public entities must annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This ASU’s amendments are effective for all entities that are subject to Topic 740, Income Taxes, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this ASU on a retrospective basis as of December 31, 2025, and prior period income tax disclosures have been updated to conform to the new requirements. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements; however, our income tax disclosures have been expanded. Refer to Note 15, Income Taxes, for further information.

In July 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides simplified guidance on measuring credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets. It offers a practical expedient for all entities and an accounting policy election for non-public business entities to ease the process of estimating expected credit losses under ASC 326-20. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026, during the interim period ended March 31, 2026, and applied the guidance on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2025‑05 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires entities to disaggregate any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into the following required natural expense categories, as applicable: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other depletion expenses. An entity’s share of earnings or losses from investments accounted for under the equity method is not a relevant expense caption that requires disaggregation. Such ASU’s amendments are effective for all public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. In January 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. We are currently evaluating the anticipated impact of this pronouncement on our disclosures and our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal‑Use Software. The ASU is intended to modernize and clarify the accounting for internal-use software, including updates to the capitalization guidance that removes references to project stages and replaces them with the concept of a probable-to-complete recognition threshold. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. We are currently evaluating the anticipated impact of this pronouncement on our disclosures and our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270), which is intended to improve the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifies when the guidance is applicable, as well as provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028. We are currently evaluating the anticipated impact of this pronouncement on our disclosures and our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which is intended to address suggestions received from stakeholders regarding Accounting Standards Codifications (“ASC”) and makes other incremental improvements to GAAP. The update represents changes to the ASC that clarify, correct errors in, or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will be required to apply the amendments to ASC 260 retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the anticipated impact of this pronouncement on our disclosures and our consolidated financial statements.
