Condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023
Spin Master Corp.
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 28).
On January 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of MND Holdings I Corp ("Melissa & Doug") by acquiring all issued and outstanding capital stock. Melissa & Doug is a leading brand in early childhood play with offerings of open-ended, creative, and developmental toys. The results from the operations of Melissa & Doug are included in the Company's results from operations and financial position commencing January 2, 2024. For further information regarding the Company's acquisition of Melissa & Doug, refer to Note 26.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), 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 audited Company's Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent. The amendments to IAS 1 specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments also clarify the definition of a right to defer settlement, that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period, that classification is unaffected by the likelihood that a company will exercise its deferral right, and that only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. In addition, a requirement has been introduced whereby a company must disclose when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the company's right to defer settlement is contingent on future covenants within twelve months. 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 May 7, 2024.
(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, 2023.
The Company has assessed significant accounting judgments and estimates in preparing the Company’s Condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. The accounting policies, judgments and estimates as disclosed in Note 3 of the Company’s audited Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been applied consistently in the preparation of these Condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2. Summary of material accounting policy information (continued)
(C) Functional currency change
Effective January 1, 2024, the functional currency of Spin Master Ltd. ("SML"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Spin Master Corp., changed from the Canadian dollar to the US$. The US$ was determined to be the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which SML operates, as the majority of the operational and financing activities are now denominated in or influenced by the US$. Considering that the underlying transactions, events and conditions that justify the change in functional currency have developed gradually, and those of greater relevance took place towards the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024, the change was made prospectively on January 1, 2024.

(i) Certain business combinations include agreement terms associated with royalty payables or deferred incentive compensation and are based on the achievement of certain financial performance criteria and/ or continued employment. The accretion of the royalties is recorded in Interest expense in the Condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive (loss) income. Accrued deferred incentive compensation is recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive (loss) income. Subsequent reviews of financial performance may result in the recording of additional considerations or reductions of the existing provision and are recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive (loss) income.
-
(ii) Defectives occur when the end consumer returns faulty goods to the Company’s customers. Customers without a fixed allowance for defectives are eligible for a credit for the cost of the product if returned as defective by the end consumer. The estimate of defectives is made based on the class and nature of the product and reduces the revenue figure in the Condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive (loss) income.
-
(iii) Supplier liabilities represent the estimated amounts to be paid to suppliers for lower than expected volumes purchased, resulting in the supplier having excess raw material and/or finished goods inventory. While such payments are not legally required, the Company may compensate suppliers to maintain supplier relationships. The supplier obligation is based on the Company’s estimate of the cost of the supplier’s excess raw material and/or finished goods inventory. The provision for supplier obligations is recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive (loss) income.
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not probable to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or its results of operations. However, considering the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period.

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 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 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. As of March 31, 2024, purchase consideration was reduced by $2.5 million for working capital adjustments, resulting in purchase consideration of $989.2 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 $503.4 million and assumed liabilities of $263.4 million with the remaining $213.0 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 Company's Facility and $225.0 million from the Acquisition Facility (see Note 18).
The Company incurred $9.5 million in transaction related costs which were included in administrative expenses in the Condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive (loss) income.
The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on management's current best estimates of fair value. The actual allocation to certain identifiable net assets could vary as the purchase price allocation is finalized. The Company has one year to finalize the fair value of net tangible assets, goodwill, and intangible assets. The tables below summarize the preliminary purchase allocation of the purchase consideration of $989.2 million:

27. Financial instruments and risk management
Market risk
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 arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in exchange rates (“transaction exposures”) and because the non-US dollar denominated financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries may vary on translation into the US dollar presentation currency (“translation exposures”). These exposures could impact the Company’s earnings and cash flows.
The Company periodically 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 dollar.
As at March 31, 2024, the Company is committed under outstanding foreign exchange contracts representing a total net sell commitment of $79.7 million (December 31, 2023 - net sell commitment of $74.7 million). These foreign exchange contracts have maturity dates varying from June 2024 to March 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net realized losses on the Company’s matured foreign exchange contracts were $1.8 million (2023 - realized losses of $4.2 million) and are included in the Condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive (loss) income.

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 Company's Facility and Acquisition Facility bear interest at variable rates. As a result, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk due to fluctuations in lenders' base rates.
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 will be 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) income.

Fair value measurements
The following table presents the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values with the exception of foreign exchange forward contracts, Investment in a limited partnership and minority interest and other investments which are recorded at fair value.

| Financial liabilities | 743.4 | 385.4 |
With the exception of foreign exchange forward contracts, Investment in a limited partnership and minority interest and other investments described below, all other financial instruments are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts at March 31, 2024 resulted in an unrealized gain of $0.3 million, which is recorded in Other assets (December 31, 2023 - $4.1 million) and an unrealized loss of $1.2 million recorded in accrued liabilities (December 31, 2023 - $2.3 million). These fair values are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are based on broker or observable market rates. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting expected future cash flows using market interest and exchange rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument for the Company and counterparty when appropriate. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is estimated based on forward exchange rates observable at the end of the reporting period and contract forward rates. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments may be offset by realized and unrealized losses and gains on the underlying exposures being hedged and are recorded in earnings as they occur.
The fair value of the investment in a limited partnership as at March 31, 2024 is recorded in Other assets at $3.7 million (December 31, 2023 - $3.7 million). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $nil (2023 - $nil) in net unrealized gain and $nil million (2023 - $nil) in net realized gain in Other expense, net. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company received $nil (2023 - $nil) of distribution income in net realized gain related to the investment.
This fair value of the investment in a limited partnership is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is estimated using various valuations techniques through the partnership based on the type of investment held by the fund. The quantitative unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement are not developed by the Company and include assumptions regarding long-term revenue growth rates and discount rates, among others.
From inception, the Company has paid $2.9 million and is obligated to pay the remaining $0.1 million upon receiving capital calls over the remaining term of the limited partnership agreement. The investment in a limited partnership is held for medium to long-term strategic purposes.
