The reported net loss for the six month period was $13.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share.

Stephen Berman, Chief Executive Officer, JAKKS Pacific, Inc., stated, “The positive momentum we achieved in the first quarter carried into the second quarter. We grew the topline, while improving margins and EBITDA. We have focused our product development and growth opportunities to be more global in nature resulting in our International division having a record quarter, and our Disney product lines continue to perform well around the world.”
Driving success in the second quarter were JAKKS Pacific’s line of Frozen-licensed dolls and costumes which performed well at retail, as did the Disney Princess and Disney Fairies product lines. Other contributors included the World of Nintendo toys ranging from figures and plush to vehicles, and JAKKS’ Max Tow and XPV brands of vehicles. Seasonal water floats, Funnoodle, also performed well in the quarter.
“Looking ahead, I am confident we are poised to continue the momentum of growth and profitability with a compelling portfolio of brands, and believe our product lines slated for introduction this Fall will be one of our most innovative lines yet. Together with the extended terms of our key licenses and our international growth, we are well positioned for the remainder of 2015, and beyond,” said Berman.
In the second half of the year, JAKKS Pacific is set to unveil several new exciting products across a number of categories in time for the upcoming Fall and holiday season. From dolls and radio control vehicles to customizable characters and augmented reality apps, JAKKS will have a full line-up of relevant and engaging product. A few highlights include Sing-A-Long Elsa, the follow up to last year’s most successful toy in the industry; 3DiT! Character Creator featuring Marvel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and DC Superheroes characters; Big Figs, entertainment-licensed large-scale figures based on Minions and Star Wars; new World of Nintendo figures; the Hulk Smash radio control figure inspired from the popular Marvel character; a new large-scale Max Tow Truck Turbo as well as the Jumpin’ Little Monkey in the Animal Babies line and the Street Dogs radio control pup.

Reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30,
2015 and 2014
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures:
This press release and accompanying schedules provide certain information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, which may be considered non-GAAP financial measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP financial measures below, as required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization and adjusted for certain non-recurring charges incurred, primarily related to reorganization expenses and certain non-cash charges for restricted stock compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP, but we believe that it is useful in measuring our operating performance. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance, and provides useful information to the investor by comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis and the use of Adjusted EBITDA by other comparable companies as a measure of performance.
Investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
