Net sales increased 40.0% to $267.7 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $191.2 million in the third quarter of 2020. The year-over-year increase reflects broad-based strength across geographies, products and channels.

On a geographical basis, net sales in the United States increased 35.7% to $191.3 million and net sales in Europe increased 65.7% to $58.9 million. Net sales in other international regions increased 19.1% to $17.6 million, with all geographies reporting growth.

Gross margin1 in the third quarter of 2021 decreased 260 basis points to 36.0% compared to 38.6% in the third quarter of 2020, reflecting higher freight expenses due to ongoing supply chain disruptions.

SG&A expenses increased 45.5% to $59.9 million or 22.4% of net sales in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $41.2 million or 21.5% of net sales in the third quarter of 2020 as we continued to invest in the long-term growth of the business. SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were lower than expected, as we proactively postponed some marketing spend to Q4 to align with product availability.

Net income in the third quarter of 2021 was $18.4 million and net income margin1 was 6.9%, compared to net income of $15.6 million and net income margin1 of 8.2% in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted Net Income2 (non-GAAP) was $21.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 versus Adjusted Net Income2 of $16.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA2 in the third quarter of 2021 was $40.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin2 was 15.0%, compared to $36.2 million and 18.9%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2020. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided below.

Balance Sheet Highlights
Total liquidity3 as of September 30, 2021 totaled $193.2 million, an increase of 80.8% compared to September 30, 2020. Total liquidity was comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $93.2 million and total revolver availability of $100.0 million.

As of September 30, 2021, total debt was $177.6 million, a decrease of 14.7% compared to a year ago. Total debt includes the amount outstanding under the Company's term loan facility, net of unamortized discounts.

Inventories at the end of the third quarter of 2021 totaled $140.8 million, up 94.0% compared to a year ago as total transit times have increased significantly compared to pre-pandemic levels, resulting in a percent of inventory in-transit at quarter end of 61%.

Outlook
In 2021, the Company expects the following full-year results:
Net sales of $950 million to $975 million;
Adjusted EBITDA margin2 of 14.0% to 14.5%;
Adjusted Net Income2 of $64.4 million to $70.4 million, based on a blended tax rate of 25%; and
Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share2 of $1.20 to $1.31, based on estimated adjusted average diluted shares outstanding of 53.9 million for the full year.



1Gross margin is calculated as net sales less cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of net sales. Net Income (Loss) margin is calculated as net income as a percentage of net sales.
2Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of historical Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share and Adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to the corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as we are unable to provide reconciling information with respect to certain items. However, in 2021 the Company expects equity-based compensation of approximately $14 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $42 million and interest expense of approximately $8 million, each of which is a reconciling item to Net Income. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information.
3Total liquidity is calculated as cash and cash equivalents plus availability under the Company's $100 million revolving credit facility.

Conference Call and Webcast
The Company will host a conference call at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time) today, November 4, 2021, to further discuss its third quarter results and business outlook. A live webcast and replay of the event will be available on the Investor Relations section on the Company’s website at investor.funko.com. The replay of the webcast will be available for one year.

Funko, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share (collectively the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not measurements of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, certain severance, relocation and related costs, loss on debt extinguishment, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other unusual or one-time items. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) attributable to Funko, Inc. adjusted for the reallocation of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests from the assumed exchange of all outstanding common units and options in FAH, LLC for newly issued-shares of Class A common stock of Funko, Inc. and further adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash charges and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, certain severance, relocation and related costs, loss on debt extinguishment, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other unusual or one-time items, and the income tax (expense) benefit effect of these adjustments. We define Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (1) the full exchange of all outstanding common units and options in FAH, LLC for newly issued-shares of Class A common stock of Funko, Inc. and (2) the dilutive effect of stock options and unvested common units, if any. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the same manner. We present the Non-GAAP Financial Measures because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.
Management uses the Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
as a measurement of operating performance because they assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;
as a consideration to assess incentive compensation for our employees;
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
to evaluate our capacity to expand our business.





image_7.jpg        


By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this press release as indicators of financial performance. Some of the limitations are:
such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Due to these limitations, Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. As noted in the table below, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include adjustments for non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, certain severance, relocation and related costs, loss on debt extinguishment, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other unusual or one-time items. It is reasonable to expect that these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described herein and in the reconciliation table below help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

The following tables reconcile the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income (loss), for the periods presented:
