Management's Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of WildBrain Ltd. (the "Company") are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Board is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility through its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements and recommends their approval by the Board.
The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board and all of its members are independent directors. It meets with Company's management and reviews internal control and financial reporting matters to ensure that management is properly discharging its responsibilities before submitting the interim condensed consolidated financial statements to the Board for approval.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. When alternative methods of accounting exist, management has chosen those it deems most appropriate in the circumstances. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates of the expected effects of current events and transactions with appropriate consideration to materiality. In addition, in preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management must make determinations as to the relevancy of information to be included, and make estimates and assumptions that affect reported information. Actual results in the future may differ materially from management's present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected.

1 Nature of business
WildBrain Ltd. (the "Company" or "WildBrain"), was incorporated on February 12, 2004 under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, and continued on April 25, 2006 under the Canada Business Corporation Act. The Company is a public company whose common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol 'WILD'. The address of the Company's head office is 25 York Street, Unit 1201, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2V5.
The Company develops, produces and distributes films and television programs for domestic and international markets; licenses its brands in the domestic and international markets; sells advertising on various adsupported video-on-demand platforms; and manages copyrights, licensing and brands for third parties.
On December 18, 2025, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its 41% stake in Peanuts Holdings LLC ("Peanuts"), the holding entity for the Peanuts IP ("Intellectual Property"), to Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. and Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. As a result, Peanuts was classified as held-for-sale in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements and their comparatives have been re-presented to show the discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.
2 Basis of preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, under International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and follow the same accounting policies as those used in the Company's most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosures included in the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 11, 2026.
3 Summary of material accounting policies, judgments and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements under IFRS Accounting Standards requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective
There have been no changes to the accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective from the filing of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025.

4 Held-for-Sale and discontinued operations
Peanuts held-for-sale and discontinued operations
On December 18, 2025, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its 41% stake in Peanuts Holdings LLC ("Peanuts"), the holding entity for the Peanuts intellectual property ("IP"), to Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. and Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.
Prior to the closing of the previously noted transaction, Sony Entertainment holds a 39.2% existing interest in Peanuts which is reflected in Non-controlling interest at \$271,899 as of December 31, 2025.
Under the agreement, the Company will remain a multi-year partner to Peanuts for key services, including:
- 1) Exclusive licensing agent through WildBrain CPLG for consumer products in all current territories across Europe, the Middle East, China, and Asia Pacific (excluding Japan & ANZ);
- 2) Exclusive production studio for new Peanuts content—including the previously announced feature film under an expansive partnership with Apple TV, recently renewed through 2030; and
- 3) Distributor of WildBrain-produced Peanuts content and continued management of the Snoopy YouTube channel.
As Peanuts represents a separate major line of business, upon classification as held-for-sale, the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and their comparatives, have been re-presented to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations.
As a result of the Company's continuing involvement subsequent to disposal, management has elected to attribute certain transactions that would historically have been eliminated in consolidation between continuing operations and discontinued operations in a way that reflects the results of the continuing operations on an ongoing basis. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, the allocation of these transactions between continuing and discontinued operations resulted in a reduction of the net loss from continuing operations before income taxes and a reduction of the net income from discontinued operations before taxes of \$6,328 and \$11,348 respectively (2024 - \$4,657 and \$8,313, respectively).
Within discontinued operations related to Peanuts, the Direct production costs and expense of film and television produced included a benefit received from capitalized Investment in Film and television programs related to the distribution rights of certain produced content that the Company will no longer own as a result of the anticipated sale. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, the amounts reclassified to discontinued operations Direct production costs and expense of film and television produced was \$3,852 and \$7,781 respectively (2024 - \$2,505 and \$4,205, respectively).
The operations of Peanuts were previously included in the Content Creation and Audience Engagement and Global Licensing segments. The segment disclosures in Note 20 have been adjusted to reflect the reclassification of Peanuts to discontinued operations.

9 Credit facilities
On July 23, 2024, the Company entered into a five year US\$415,000 credit agreement (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility") consisting of a US\$375,000 Term Loan Facility (the "Term Loan Facility") and a US\$40,000 Revolving Facility (the "Revolving Facility"). The Senior Secured Credit Facility may be drawn in USD, with the option of a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 5.5% to 6.0% or a Base Rate (the "Base Rate") plus 4.5% to 5.0%. The Base Rate is calculated as the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Prime Rate in effect and (c) SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect + 1%. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the selected interest rate + 4.5% to 6.0%, depending on the type of rate chosen and the leverage ratio at the time of the draw. The Senior Secured Credit Facility matures on July 23, 2029.

(1) Assignment and direction of specific production financing, licensing contracts receivable and film tax credits receivable have been pledged as security. As at December 31, 2025, the Canadian dollar bank prime rate was 4.70% (June 30, 2025 - 4.95%).
In June 2025, the Company agreed with its lenders to reduce leverage by implementing one or several deleveraging events by Q2 2026. De-leveraging events included asset dispositions and, or equity raises. The proceeds of the de-leveraging events would be used to repay a portion of the Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Facility. As the Company did not have the right to defer settlement of the proceeds against the Senior Secured Credit Facility for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date, the Company reclassified an additional \$64.1 million in excess of scheduled payments on the Term Loan Facility to current liabilities as of June 30, 2025.
In September 2025, the Company agreed with its lenders to a further amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility which (i) removed the requirement to execute one or several de-leveraging events by Q2 2026, (ii) added a 1.5% prepayment premium in the event of early repayment of the loan, (iii) added further fees to lenders of \$6 million that were paid on October 1, 2025 and other lender fees in respect of the timing of any deleveraging events that the Company may enter into, which may result under certain scenarios in additional finance charges of 0.6% to 6.0% per annum and (iv) further changes to the financial maintenance covenant, as outlined below:

12 Write-down of Certain Investments in Film and Television Programs, Acquired and Library Content, and Intangible Assets
For the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2025, an impairment charge of \$16,352 was recorded, (December 31, 2024 - \$53,247). This included an intangible asset impairment of \$nil (December 31, 2024 - \$5,312), write-down of acquired and library content of \$5,526 (December 31, 2024 - \$15, 838) and investment in film assets of \$10,826 (December 31, 2024 - \$32,097). The write-downs reflect the weaker than expected revenue performance and current market conditions for the brands and titles impaired in library that the Company invested into prior to 2025 and the Company's change in capital allocation strategy.
13 Income taxes
For the three and six months period ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax recovery at a rate of 9.5% and 2.4% on the net loss from continuing operations, respectively (December 31, 2024 – income tax recovery rate of 6.4% and 8.3%, respectively). The income tax recovery in each period reflects the mix of taxing jurisdictions in which pre-tax income and losses were recognized. The income attributable to noncontrolling interests is taxed outside the Company. Further items impacting the effective tax rate include the different statutory tax rates in the taxing jurisdictions, non-deductible items, the utilization of certain unrecognized tax losses and the continued non-recognition of certain deferred tax assets in Canada.

16 Management of financial risks and financial instruments
The financial risks arising from the Company's operations include credit, interest rate, liquidity, currency and market risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out in the audited annual consolidated financial statements.
The Company's current debt facility contains financial covenants which decrease over time. Compliance with such covenants are a material factor within liquidity risk. If the Company were to breach these covenants, the lender would have the right to accelerate the repayment of outstanding balances. The Company's debt facility is also denominated in US\$, exposing the Company to significant volatility in interest and principal payments, as well as in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses as the debt facility is revalued each reporting period.
Management monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner to manage these risks.
The following table summarizes the Company's financial liabilities and their contractual maturities:
| Total \$ |
Less than 1 year \$ |
1 to 3 years \$ |
3 to 5 years \$ |
After 5 years \$ |
|

| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 132,235 | 132,235 | — | — | — |

| 930,342 | 288,041 | 153,457 | 488,844 | — |
Contractual payments in the table above include fixed and variable interest obligations at current rates and are not discounted.
The Company operates a diverse range of business lines, including production studio services, content distribution, consumer products licensing, and representation. While the operating results may vary from period to period, operating cash flows are generally predictable based on the Company's production and content pipeline, contract renewals, royalty agreements, and minimum guarantees.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) For the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amounts per share)
As at December 31, 2025 the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of \$69,206 and current amounts receivable of \$192,153 (June 30, 2025, \$68,871 and \$248,058 respectively). Based on the Company's cash balances and available credit facilities, expected collection of trade and other receivables and forecast operating results, management believes it will be able to fulfill its financial obligations as they become due.
In June 2025, the Company agreed with its lenders to reduce leverage by implementing one or several de-leveraging events by Q2 2026. De-leveraging events included asset dispositions and, or equity raises. The proceeds of the de-leveraging events would be used to repay a portion of Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Facility. The Company also amended the Senior Secured Credit Facility to revise the Total Leverage Ratio required for covenant compliance in future quarters.
In September 2025, the Company agreed with its lenders to a further amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility which (i) removed the requirement to execute one or several de-leveraging events by Q2 2026, (ii) added a 1.5% prepayment premium in the event of early repayment of the loan, which was paid in Q3 2026, (iii) added further fees to lenders of \$6 million were paid on October 1, 2025 and other lender fees in respect of the timing of any de-leveraging events that the Company may enter into, which may result under certain scenarios in additional finance charges of 0.6% to 6.0% per annum, and (iv) further changes to the financial maintenance covenant, as outlined in note 9. As a result of this amendment, the Company recorded a loss on the modification of its long-term debt of \$16,019.
The Company is bound by certain financial maintenance covenants in its Senior Secured Credit Facility, specifically a Leverage Ratio condition based on trailing twelve-month EBITDA ("Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization") of a restricted group of WildBrain entities, adjusted for certain onetime and non-cash charges. Non-compliance with the financial maintenance covenant would be considered an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit facility, which could, absent a waiver from the lenders or cure by the Company, restrict the Company's access to funds required to run its business and settle its obligations in a timely manner. Management considers conditions that may cast significant doubt upon its ability to continue as a going concern, including the Company's ability to meet future covenants. The Company's future liquidity is dependent on the closing of the Peanuts sale, the proceeds of which would be used to pay down the Senior Secured Credit Facility, or absent that, on generating sufficient cash flows in accordance with its business plans to manage its leverage levels, or if these plans are not carried out, generate additional capital to reduce outstanding leverage by way of managing working capital, future equity raises or through the sale of other assets. The estimation of future cash flows in accordance with its business plans and the forecasting of leverage levels to meet required financial maintenance covenants is subjective and involves judgment. In the second half of 2026, the Company expects to repay the Senior Secured Credit Facility in full upon the closing of the Peanuts sale, although there can be no assurances it will be successful in doing so. As such, management has concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These are estimates and involve uncertainties, and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions and estimates could significantly affect fair values.

20 Revenues and segmented information
WildBrain operates entities and offices throughout Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia.
The Company has an integrated approach to managing and monetizing its content and intellectual property ("IP"), including production, distribution and consumer-product royalties, representation, and organization structure.
In evaluating performance, the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), defined as the Company's President and CEO, and CFO, rely on recommendations by the CIG to assess and allocate resources. The Company views its results in three reportable segments, being 1) Content and Licensing; 2) Global Licensing and 3) Canadian Television Broadcasting.
In Q2 2026, Broadcasting ceased and the licenses were formally revoked by the CRTC on October 31, 2025. The Company is presenting the operations of Television as discontinued operations effective Q2 2026. As a result, the Company further refined its view of the reportable segments to report two reportable segments, being 1) Content and Licensing, and 2) Global Licensing.
- 1) Content Creation and Audience Engagement comprises revenue generated from production of proprietary content and distribution of proprietary titles owned by the Company and its strategic partners, and third-party service work.
- 2) Global Licensing comprises royalties from IPs owned by the Company and its strategic partners, and commissions earned from the licensing agency business.
In Q2 2026, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its 41% stake in Peanuts, the holding entity for the Peanuts IP, to Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. and Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc (see Note 4). As a result, the Content Creation and Audience Engagement and Global Licensing segments were further refined to exclude the results of the Peanuts discontinued operation.
