Looking ahead to the balance of 2024, our team is focused on delivering our signature breakthrough innovation in toys and launching new properties, including Ms. Rachel, delivering entertainment that resonates with audiences on a global scale, such as Unicorn Academy, and releasing new experiences in digital games, such as Rubik’s Match, designed to expand our player ecosystem.

Toy Revenue declined by $5.4 million or 1.6% to $340.9 million.
Toy Gross Product Sales[i] was $384.7 million, a decrease of $5.3 million or 1.4% from $390.0 million, including Melissa & Doug Toy Gross Product Sales1 of $51.7 million. Toy Gross Product Sales1 was lower compared to the prior year primarily as a result of a shift in customer orders and shipments into the second half of 2024. In addition, Q2 2023 was supported by shipments related to the launch of PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie. Toy Gross Product Sales, excluding Melissa & Doug1 was $333.0 million, an decrease of $57.0 million or 14.6% from $390.0 million.
Sales Allowances increased by $2.0 million to $45.7 million. As a percentage of Toy Gross Product Sales1, Sales Allowances increased to 11.9% from 11.2%, due to market and customer mix.
Toys Operating Loss was $34.9 million compared to Toy Operating Income of $23.8 million.
Toys Operating Margin was (10.2)% compared to 6.9%.
Toys Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 was 6.1% compared to 13.8%.
Toys Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding Melissa & Doug1 was 9.4% compared to 13.8%.
The decrease in Toys Operating Margin and Toys Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 was driven by the inclusion of Melissa & Doug, resulting in lower operating leverage due to the higher relative seasonality impact in the quarter, a change in product mix, higher proportion of administrative and marketing spend in relation to Toy Revenue, partially offset by a decrease in selling expense.

Digital Games Revenue declined by $5.8 million or 14.3% to $34.7 million primarily due to lower in-game purchases in Toca Life World. While the number of monthly active users for Toca Life World has remained steady, the current macroeconomic environment has led to reduced spending per user. The decline was offset in part by higher subscription revenue from Piknik and PAW Patrol Academy.
Digital Games Operating Income decreased by $5.3 million or 55.2% to $4.3 million. Digital Games Adjusted Operating Income1 decreased by $6.9 million or 53.9% to $5.9 million from $12.8 million. Digital Games Operating Margin decreased from 23.7% to 12.4% and Digital Games Adjusted Operating Margin1 decreased from 31.6% to 17.0%.
The decrease in Digital Games Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income1, Operating Margin and Adjusted Operating Margin1 was due to the decline in revenue and increased investments in marketing for Piknik and PAW Patrol Academy.
Liquidity
The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of $510.0 million which matures on September 28, 2026, and contains certain financial covenants.
The Company has a non-revolving credit facility (the “Acquisition Facility”) for the acquisition of Melissa & Doug, with a borrowing capacity of $225.0 million which matures on November 19, 2024, and contains certain financial covenants.
As at June 30, 2024, there was $235.0 million drawn (December 31, 2023 – $nil) under the Facility and $225.0 million drawn (December 31, 2023 – $nil) under the Acquisition Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on the Facility and the Acquisition Facility were both 6.6% (2023 – 0%).
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had unutilized liquidity of $426.0 million, comprised of $154.6 million in Cash and $271.4 million under the Company’s credit facilities.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash flow provided by operating activities was $49.7 million compared to $14.8 million. The increase was driven by the change in non-cash working capital offset by lower Adjusted Operating Income1. Change in non-cash working capital increased by $81.9 million, due to decreases of $185.0 million in trade receivables, $6.2 million in inventories and $10.4 million in other receivables, partially offset by an increase of $83.4 million in trade payables and accrued liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash flow provided by financing activities was $408.2 million, compared to cash flow used of $27.5 million. The increase is primarily driven by the proceeds from loans and borrowings of $525.0 million, partially offset by repayments of $65.0 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Free Cash Flow1 was $(4.2) million compared to $(40.3) million, due to higher cash flow provided by operating activities and lower cash flow used in investing activities.
