2 The Company enters into arrangements to provide sales allowances requested by customers relating to cooperative advertising, contractual and negotiated discounts, volume rebates, markdowns, and costs incurred by customers to sell the Company's products.
3 Operating Margin is calculated as segment Operating Income divided by segment Revenue.

 

• Toy revenue decreased by $145.3 million or 26.8% to $396.7 million primarily driven by a decrease in Toy Gross Product Sales¹ and an increase in Sales Allowances as a percentage of Toy Gross Product Sales¹.
• Toy Gross Product Sales¹ decreased by $148.3 million or 23.6%, to $479.2 million from $627.5 million. Constant Currency Toy Gross Product Sales¹ decreased by $129.2 million or 20.6% to $498.3 million, down from $627.5 million.
• The decline in Toy Gross Product Sales¹ was as a result of lower customer orders, as consumer demand was negatively impacted by the pressures of higher inflation, which in turn reduced consumer discretionary spending, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Toy Gross Product Sales¹ were positively impacted by price increases implemented to mitigate inflation on product costs and ocean freight. In addition, Toy Gross Product Sales¹ in the fourth quarter of 2021 were supported by shipments due to the theatrical releases of PawPatrol: The Movie and DC Comics The Batman.
• Sales Allowances increased by $3.0 million or 3.5% to $82.5 million. As a percentage of Toy Gross Product Sales¹, Sales Allowances increased by 3.6% to 17.2% from 13.6%, primarily driven by higher markdowns, as consumers were more sensitive to price.
• Operating Loss was $(43.3) million compared to Operating Income of $14.6 million representing a variance of $(57.9) million.
• Operating Margin was (10.9)% compared to 2.7%. The decline is due to higher administrative and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue driven by lower Toy revenue. This was partially offset by improved gross margin from changes in product mix and price increases implemented to offset inflation on product costs and ocean freight. Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ declined as a result of lower Operating Margin.
• Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ was (6.2)% compared to 7.5%.

Entertainment Segment Results

Adjusted Operating Margin1	65.7 %	47.0 %
1 Non-GAAP financial measure or ratio. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios".

 

• Entertainment revenue increased by $2.7 million or 9.5% to $31.2 million, driven by higher distribution revenue and licensing and merchandising revenue.
• Operating Margin was 61.2% compared to 42.5%.
• Adjusted Operating Margin¹ was 65.7% compared to 47.0%.
• Operating Margin and Adjusted Operating Margin¹ increased due to higher licensing and merchandising revenue as well as lower costs due to fewer content deliveries compared to prior year.

1 Non-GAAP financial measure or ratio. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios".

 

• Digital Games revenue decreased by $12.1 million or 24.2% to $37.9 million due to lower in-app revenue in Toca Life World. Constant Currency Digital Games Revenue¹ decreased by $9.9 million or 19.8% to $40.1 million, down from $50.0 million.
• Operating Margin was 26.6% compared to 34.6%. Operating Margin decreased due to higher product development and personnel costs related to the investment in future digital games. Adjusted Operating Margin¹ was 32.5% compared to 38.0%. Adjusted Operating Margin¹ decreased due to a decrease in Operating Margin partially offset by an increase in adjustments to acquisition related deferred incentive compensation.
