1. Description of business
Spin Master Corp. was formed by the amalgamation of Spin Master Corp. (formerly SML Investments Inc. which was incorporated on June 9, 2004 under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)), SML Investments 2008 Inc. and Varadi Bee Corp. pursuant to the filing of articles of amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on July 29, 2015. The Company is a leading global children's entertainment company, creating exceptional play experiences through its three creative centres: Toys, Entertainment and Digital Games. Its head and registered office is located at 225 King Street West, Suite 200, Toronto, Canada, M5V 3M2. Spin Master Corp. and its subsidiaries are together referred to, in these Condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as the "Company" or "Spin Master".
The Company has three reportable operating segments: Toys, Entertainment and Digital Games (see Note 23).
2. Summary of material accounting policy information
(A) Statement of compliance
These Condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in these Condensed consolidated interim financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Company's audited Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted the IASB issued The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates - Lack of Exchangeability. The amendments to IAS 21 clarify the definition of exchangeability and how to estimate an exchange rate when there is a lack of exchangeability. New disclosure requirements are introduced when using an estimated exchange rate on the financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on these Condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
All financial information is presented in millions of United States dollars ("US$") and has been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand, except as otherwise indicated.
These Condensed consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on July 30, 2025.
(B) Basis of preparation
These Condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Spin Master Corp. and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company has assessed significant accounting judgments and estimates in preparing the Company's Condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

Summary of prior year acquisition
Acquisition of MND Holdings I Corp
On January 2, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding capital stock of MND Holdings I Corp ("Melissa & Doug"). Melissa & Doug is a leading brand in early childhood play with offerings of open-ended, creative, and developmental toys. Management performed an analysis under IFRS 3, Business Combinations ("IFRS 3") and has determined that the assets and processes acquired comprised a business and accounted for the transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The addition of Melissa & Doug complements the Company's existing offering by adding complementary early childhood products and further diversifies its portfolio across new channels and formats. This acquisition has been reported in the Toys segment within the Preschool, Infant & Toddler and Plush product category and included in the Melissa & Doug cash generating unit beginning from the date of acquisition.
On January 2, 2024, cash consideration paid was $991.7 million, which includes $36.2 million in cash acquired, resulting in net purchase consideration of $955.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the purchase consideration was reduced by $2.6 million for working capital adjustments, resulting in purchase consideration of $989.1 million. The purchase consideration was allocated to the identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values of $536.2 million (related to brands and customer relationships), tangible assets of $501.4 million and assumed liabilities of $263.9 million with the remaining $215.4 million allocated to goodwill. The Company funded the acquisition with $466.7 million cash and $525.0 million of debt. The debt was sourced through a drawdown of $300.0 million from the Facility and $225.0 million from the Acquisition Facility (see Note 16).
The purchase price allocation is based on management's best estimates of fair value. The tables below summarize the purchase price allocation of the purchase consideration of $989.1 million:

22. Financial instruments and risk management
Foreign currency risk
Due to the structure of the Company's international operations, it is exposed to foreign currency risk driven by fluctuations in exchange rates. Risk arises because the value of monetary assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures from transactions denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in exchange rates ("transaction exposures") and because the non-US$ denominated financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries may vary on translation into the US$ presentation currency. These exposures could impact the Company's earnings and cash flows.
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign currency risk on cash flows denominated in currencies other than the US$.
22. Financial instruments and risk management (continued)
As at June 30, 2025, the Company was committed under outstanding foreign exchange contracts representing a total net sell commitment notional value of $107.4 million (December 31, 2024 - net sell commitment of $110.1 million).

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company's financial assets and liabilities will increase or decrease in value due to a change in interest rates. The Facility and the Acquisition Facility bear interest at variable rates. As a result, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk due to fluctuations in short term rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by using variable to fixed interest rate swaps, where the Company pays the fixed interest rate.
On March 27, 2024, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional of $140.0 million, effective on April 1, 2024, maturing in four tranches until December 31, 2025. The interest rate swap is a derivative financial instrument. The Company's swap agreement is measured at fair value with gains and losses in fair value presented in interest expense in the Company's Condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The following interest rate swaps were outstanding as at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Effective date | Contract expiry | Jun 30, 2025 | | Dec 31, 2024 | |
