TORONTO, Nov. 2, 2022 /CNW/ - Spin Master Corp. ("Spin Master" or the "Company") (TSX: TOY) (www.spinmaster.com), a leading global children's entertainment company, today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company's full Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and posted on the Company's web site at www.spinmaster.com. All financial information is presented in United States dollars ("$", "dollars" and "US$") and has been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand, except per share amounts and where otherwise indicated.

"We remain committed to our long-term growth strategy through the development of innovative toys, engaging, multiplatform entertainment content and creative, open-ended digital game experiences," said Max Rangel, Spin Master's Global President & CEO. "While our year-to-date growth has outpaced the toy industry globally, our revenue this quarter was affected by the pull forward of toy shipments into the second quarter, and by the challenging macroeconomic factors affecting consumers. Our team is excited to bring our magical experiences to children and their families this holiday season and we firmly believe that the power of our innovative toy portfolio, diversified entertainment pipeline and suite of digital games will drive solid results. As we look forward to 2023 and beyond, we will continue to allocate capital to grow the business over the long term by leveraging the strength, diversity and depth of our innovative brands, entertainment franchises and digital games, as well as M&A, to maximize shareholder value."

"As expected, revenue growth in the third quarter was a difficult comparison due to the shift of customer shipments into the second quarter this year, a decline in digital games revenue and from PAW Patrol: The Movie Distribution Revenue recognized in the prior year. Despite this revenue decline, gross margin across our creative centres was up," said Mark Segal, Spin Master's Chief Financial Officer. "We will continue to balance investments designed to deliver on our long-term strategy while also effectively managing our costs. Despite our lowered expectations for the year, we remain confident in our ability to execute with high levels of operational discipline and navigate retailer and consumer dynamics to deliver profitable growth for 2022. Our balance sheet and liquidity position remains very strong and we are pleased to announce a quarterly dividend, following our inaugural dividend last quarter."
