Significant Accounting Policies and Transactions Significant Accounting Policies and Transactions
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Significant Accounting Policies
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of figures, plush, apparel, homewares, accessories and other finished goods, and are accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory costs include direct product costs, freight and duty costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company estimates obsolescence based on assumptions regarding future demand. This valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to customers, or liquidation, and expected recoverable value of each disposition category. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventories were $11.9 million and $11.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Allowance
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which is upon shipment or upon receipt of finished goods by the customer, depending on the contract terms. Deferred revenue is recognized when the Company collects cash from the customer and has not yet filled its obligation for delivery of product. Deferred revenue was $15.5 million and $17.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to recognize revenue under these performance obligations over the next 12 months.
The Company routinely enters into arrangements with its customers to provide sales incentives, support customer promotions, and provide allowances for returns and defective merchandise. These sales adjustments require management to make estimates. In making these estimates, management considers all available information including the overall business environment, historical trends and information from customers, such as agreed upon customer contract terms as well as historical experience from the customer. The costs of these programs reduce gross sales in the period the related sale is recognized. The Company adjusts its estimates at least quarterly or when facts and circumstances used in the estimate process change. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had sales allowance of $29.6 million and $39.8 million, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination measured at fair value. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually on October 1 of each year and upon the occurrence of triggering events or substantive changes in circumstances that could indicate a potential impairment by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the net assets is below their carrying amounts.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill and are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Intangible assets acquired include intellectual property (product design), customer relationships, and trade names. These are definite-lived assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable.
The Company has evaluated potential goodwill impairment triggering events as of June 30, 2026, and determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was above carrying value of the net assets. However, the Company will continue to evaluate for impairment triggering events due to the substantive changes in circumstances, such as market capitalization, which could indicate a potential impairment and the need to record a material, non-cash charge in a future period. The Company also expects to assess the recoverability of the carrying value of the identified intangible and other long-lived assets, to the extent conditions necessitate an impairment assessment.
A description of the Company’s other significant accounting policies is included in the audited consolidated financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
IEEPA Tariffs
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that U.S. tariffs imposed under IEEPA on goods imported into the U.S. were unauthorized. During the second quarter of 2026, management deemed the recovery of IEEPA tariffs paid to be probable. Accordingly, the Company recognized a benefit of $25.4 million in cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the recovery of IEEPA tariffs paid or accrued with the applicable corresponding receivable for tariffs paid of $22.1 million reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets. In addition, during the second quarter of 2026, the Company executed a participatory sale of $22.1 million in tariff claims for $19.2 million. This resulted in the recognition of a liability within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The Company will continue to monitor developments pertaining to the import and export policies of the U.S. and other countries, as well as those pertaining to tariff refunds and litigation, that could impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires that an entity disclose in the notes to the financial statements specified information about certain costs and expenses, including the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) other amounts of depletion expense included in each relevant expense caption presented on the statement of operations. The standard also requires disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, as well as the total amount of selling expenses and an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The ASU was clarified in January 2025 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and it can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on income statement presentation and enhanced footnote disclosures.
