AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 Note 1 — Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains audited financial information for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025. The information provided in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily, especially given seasonality, indicative of results to be expected for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JAKKS Pacific, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”). In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The new guidance improves disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring disaggregated disclosures of certain types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible amortization and depletion, as applicable, for each income statement caption that includes those expenses. In addition, the standard will require entities to define and disclose total selling expenses. The standard is effective for public business entities such as the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” The new guidance provides a practical expedient in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. Entities that elect the practical expedient may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the respective assets. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption was permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2026. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The new guidance removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: 1. Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and 2. It is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software (referred to as “significant development uncertainty”). The amendments will be effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. No other accounting pronouncements were issued or adopted for the three months ended March 31, 2026 that materially impacted the Company. 7 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 Note 2 — Business Segments, Geographic Data and Sales by Major Customers The Company is a worldwide producer and marketer of children’s toys and other consumer products, principally engaged in the design, development, production, marketing and distribution of its diverse portfolio of products. The Company’s segments are (i) Toys/Consumer Products (“TCP”) and (ii) Costumes. The Toys/Consumer Products segment includes action figures, vehicles, play sets, plush products, dolls, electronic products, construction toys, infant and pre-school toys, child-sized and hand-held role play toys and everyday costume play, foot-to-floor ride-on vehicles, wagons, novelty toys, seasonal and outdoor products, kids’ indoor and outdoor furniture, and related products. The Costumes segment, under its Disguise branding, designs, develops, markets and sells a wide range of every-day and special occasion dress-up costumes and related accessories in support of Halloween, Carnival, Children’s Day, Book Day/Week, and every-day/any-day costume play. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have been identified jointly as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM manages and allocates resources on a segment basis. The determination of the two segments is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM for purposes of evaluating performance. Results are regularly reviewed in comparison with current budget, prior forecast, prior year and recent years’ performance in that quarter. Segment performance is measured at the gross profit and operating income (loss) level. All sales are made to external customers and general corporate expenses have been attributed to the segments based upon relative sales volumes. Segment assets are primarily comprised of accounts receivable and inventories, net of applicable reserves and allowances, goodwill and other assets. Certain assets which are not tracked by operating segment and/or that benefit multiple operating segments have been allocated on the same basis. 8 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC.

The following tables present information about the Company by geographic area as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2026 2025 Long-lived Assets United States $ 40,535 $ 42,788 China 18,735 16,659 United Kingdom 2,961 3,073 Hong Kong 1,666 1,853 Italy 654 717 Mexico 550 594 France 96 8 Canada 86 92 $ 65,283 $ 65,784 Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Net Sales by Customer Area United States $ 74,636 $ 88,944 Europe 17,379 11,810 Latin America 6,962 7,459 Canada 2,992 3,279 Australia & New Zealand 2,469 613 Asia 1,935 751 Middle East & Africa 303 397 $ 106,676 $ 113,253 Major Customers Net sales to major customers globally for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except for percentages): Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Percentage Percentage Amount of Net Sales Amount of Net Sales Walmart (*) $ 27,107 25.4 % $ 36,679 32.4 % Target 26,645 25.0 29,444 26.0 $ 53,752 50.4 % $ 66,123 58.4 % (*) During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company determined that, in prior periods, net sales to two subsidiaries of Walmart Inc., were not aggregated with net sales to Walmart Inc. in the major customer disclosure under ASC 280-10-50-42. Because these entities are under common control, such sales should be presented as revenues from a single customer. Accordingly, prior-period amounts have been revised to aggregate these net sales amounts to Walmart Inc. and its subsidiaries. This revision affected only the major customer disclosure and had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for any period presented. The Company concluded that the revision was not material to previously issued financial statements. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total net sales. The concentration of the Company’s business with a relatively small number of customers may expose the Company to material adverse effects if one or more of its large customers were to experience financial difficulty. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its top customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. 10 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 Note 3 — Inventory Inventory, which includes the ex-factory cost of goods, capitalized warehouse costs, and in-bound freight and duty, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, net of inventory obsolescence reserve, and consists of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2026 2025 Finished goods $ 52,854 $ 59,805 The inventory obsolescence reserve was $ 2.9 million and $ 2.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Note 4 — Revenue Recognition and Reserve for Sales Returns and Allowances The Company’s contracts with customers only include one performance obligation (i.e., sale of the Company’s products). Revenue is recognized in the gross amount at a point in time when delivery is completed and control of the promised goods is transferred to the customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. The Company’s contracts do not involve financing elements as payment terms with customers are less than one year. Further, because revenue is recognized at the point in time goods are sold to customers, there are no contract assets or contract liability balances. The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by reporting segment: Toys/Consumer Products and Costumes. The Company further disaggregates revenues by major geographic regions (See Note 2 - Business Segments, Geographic Data and Sales by Major Customers, for further information). The Company offers various discounts, pricing concessions, and other allowances to customers, all of which are considered in determining the transaction price. Certain discounts and allowances are fixed and determinable at the time of sale and are recorded at the time of sale as a reduction to revenue. Other discounts and allowances can vary and are determined at management’s discretion (variable consideration). Specifically, the Company occasionally grants discretionary credits to facilitate markdowns and sales of slow-moving merchandise, and consequently accrues an allowance based on historic credits and management estimates. The Company also participates in cooperative advertising arrangements with some customers, whereby it allows a discount from invoiced product amounts in exchange for customer purchased advertising that features the Company’s products. Generally, these allowances range from 1 % to 30 % of gross sales and are generally based upon product purchases or specific advertising campaigns. Such allowances are accrued when the related revenue is recognized. To the extent these cooperative advertising arrangements provide a distinct benefit at fair value, they are accounted for as direct selling expenses, otherwise they are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Further, while the Company generally does not allow product returns, the Company does make occasional exceptions to this policy and consequently records a sales return allowance based upon historic return amounts and management estimates. These allowances (variable consideration) are estimated using the expected value method and are recorded at the time of sale as a reduction to revenue. The Company adjusts its estimate of variable consideration at least quarterly or when facts and circumstances used in the estimation process may change. The variable consideration is not constrained as the Company has sufficient history on the related estimates and does not believe there is a risk of significant revenue reversal. Sales commissions are expensed when incurred as the related revenue is recognized at a point in time and therefore the amortization period is less than one year. As a result, these costs are recorded as direct selling expenses, as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, sales commissions were $ 0.5 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively. Shipping and handling activities are considered part of the Company’s obligation to transfer the products and therefore are recorded as direct selling expenses, as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, shipping and handling costs were $ 1.7 million and $ 2.3 million, respectively. 11 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 Note 5 — Credit Facilities JPMorgan Chase On June 2, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent and lender, providing a $ 67.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “JPMorgan ABL Facility”) maturing in June 2026. On June 24, 2025, in connection with the execution of a new credit facility with BMO Bank, N.A., the Company voluntarily terminated the JPMorgan ABL Facility. At the time of termination, there were no borrowings outstanding under the JPMorgan ABL Facility. The termination of the JPMorgan ABL Facility did not result in any prepayment penalties or early termination fees. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the JPMorgan ABL Facility were written off and recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $ 0.4 million. The JPMorgan ABL Facility was replaced with a new senior secured revolving credit facility with BMO Bank, N.A., as described below. BMO Bank, N.A. On June 24, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) with BMO Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The BMO Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with aggregate commitments of up to $70.0 million, including a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Revolving Facility matures on June 24, 2030, unless extended pursuant to its terms. Capitalized terms used below have the meanings assigned to them in the BMO Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, either (i) the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin or (ii) the Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio and ranges from 1.50 % to 2.00 % for SOFR loans and from 0.50 % to 1.00 % for Base Rate loans. The Company is also subject to a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility ranging from 0.20 % to 0.30 %, and a fee on outstanding letters of credit ranging from 1.50 % to 2.00 %. The BMO Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, asset sales and dividends. Financial covenants include a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 , and maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 , tested quarterly. The obligations under the BMO Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s U.S., Canadian and Hong Kong subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including equity interests in certain subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exclusions. As of March 31, 2026, the amount of outstanding borrowings was nil and the total excess borrowing availability was $ 68.3 million. As of March 31, 2026, off-balance sheet arrangements include letters of credit issued by BMO of $ 1.7 million and JPMorgan of $ 0.9 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the BMO Credit Agreement. 12 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 Note 6 — Income Taxes The Company’s income tax benefit of $ 0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflects an effective tax rate of 16.6 %. The Company’s income tax benefit of $ 1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflects an effective tax rate of 32.8 %. The tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 primarily relates to the overall worldwide loss (i.e. federal, state, and foreign) partially offset by discrete items. From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company may be audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. At this time, the Company has at least one audit underway. The Company currently cannot assess the impact of the outcome on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Note 7 — Loss Per Share The following table is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the computation of loss per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, Loss per share - basic and diluted 2026 2025 Net loss $ ( 4,280 ) $ ( 2,382 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted 11,444 11,146 Loss per share available to common stockholder - basic and diluted $ ( 0.37 ) $ ( 0.21 ) Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period (which consist of restricted stock units to the extent they are dilutive). Restricted stock units of 377,755 and 359,344 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. Of the RSUs excluded for 2026, 105,609 were anti-dilutive based on their terms, while 272,146 would have been dilutive if the Company had reported net income. Note 8 — Common Stock Common Stock All issuances of common stock, including those issued pursuant to restricted stock or unit grants, are issued from the Company’s authorized but not issued and outstanding shares. During 2026, certain employees, including two executive officers, surrendered an aggregate of 74,652 shares of restricted stock units for $ 1.3 million to cover income taxes due for the vesting of restricted shares. No forfeitures occurred during 2026. During 2025, certain employees, including two executive officers, surrendered an aggregate of 135,672 shares of restricted stock units for $ 3.8 million to cover income taxes due for the vesting of restricted shares. Additionally, an aggregate of 1,357 shares of restricted stock granted in 2023 and 2024 with a value of approximately $ 38.1 thousand was forfeited during 2025. A quarterly dividend of $ 0.25 per share for owners of record as of February 27, 2026 was declared on February 18, 2026 and paid on March 30, 2026. A quarterly dividend of $ 0.25 per share for owners of record as of March 3, 2025 was declared on February 18, 2025 and paid on March 31, 2025. 13 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 At the Market Offering On July 1, 2022, the Company entered into an At the Market Issuance Sales Agreement (“ATM Agreement”) with B. Riley, as agent pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of its common stock, up to $ 75.0 million of common stock, in one or more offerings in amounts, prices and at terms that the Company will determine at the time of the offering. As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not sell any shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement. On October 29, 2025, the Company filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement pursuant to which it may issue, from time to time, up to $ 150.0 million of securities (which will be reduced by any amount of securities sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement) consisting of, or any combination of, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and/or units, in one or more offerings in amounts, prices and at terms that the Company will determine at the time of the offering. This registration statement replaced an essentially similar one filed in October 2022, which expired by law on its three-year anniversary. No shares were sold under such prior registration statement. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not sold any securities pursuant to its shelf registration statement. Note 9 — Goodwill The Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis and, on an interim basis, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no events or circumstances that indicated that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Note 10 — Comprehensive Loss The table below presents the components of the Company’s comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Net loss $ ( 4,280 ) $ ( 2,382 ) Other comprehensive income (loss): Foreign currency translation adjustment ( 1,801 ) 628 Comprehensive loss $ ( 6,081 ) $ ( 1,754 ) Note 11 — Litigation and Contingencies The Company is a party to, and certain of its property is the subject of, various pending claims and legal proceedings that routinely arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues for losses when the loss is deemed probable and the liability can reasonably be estimated. Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability related to the claim. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revises its estimates. In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain indemnifications and/or other commitments of varying scope to a) its licensors, customers and certain other parties, including against third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, and b) its officers, directors and employees, including against third-party claims regarding the periods in which they serve in such capacities with the Company. The duration and amount of such obligations is, in certain cases, indefinite. The Company’s director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy may, however, enable it to recover a portion of any future payments related to its officer, director or employee indemnifications. For the past five years, costs related to director and officer indemnifications have not been significant. Other than certain liabilities recorded in the normal course of business related to royalty payments due to the Company’s licensors, no liabilities have been recorded for indemnifications and/or other commitments. 14 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 Note 12 — Share-Based Payments The Company’s 2002 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended, provides for the awarding of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to certain key employees, executive officers and non-employee directors. Current awards under the Plan include grants to executive officers and certain key employees of restricted stock units, with vesting contingent upon the completion of specified service periods ranging from one to four years and/or (b) meeting certain financial performance and/or market-based metrics. Shares for the restricted stock units are not issued until they vest. The following table summarizes the total share-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Share-based compensation expense $ 3,081 $ 2,552 Restricted Stock Units The following table summarizes the RSU award activity for awards with service conditions for the three months ended March 31, 2026: 2026 Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding, December 31, 2025 1,117,068 $ 21.03 Granted 263,556 16.88 Vested ( 176,082 ) 24.86 Forfeited — — Outstanding, March 31, 2026 1,204,542 19.56 The following table summarizes the RSU award activity for awards with market conditions for the three months ended March 31, 2026: 2026 Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding, December 31, 2025 112,500 $ 20.79 Granted — — Vested — — Forfeited — — Outstanding, March 31, 2026 112,500 20.79 As of March 31, 2026, there was $ 19.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. As of March 31, 2026, the fair market value of non-vested restricted stock units was $ 26.2 million. 15 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 Note 13 — Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based upon these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values into three broad levels as follows: Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities. Level 3: Valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based upon inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands): Carrying Amount as of March 31, Fair Value Measurements As of March 31, 2026 2026 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Money market funds $ 40,265 $ 40,265 $ — $ — Investments in employee deferred compensation trusts 4,486 4,486 — — Carrying Amount as of December 31, Fair Value Measurements As of December 31, 2025 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Money market funds $ 33,062 $ 33,062 $ — $ — Investments in employee deferred compensation trusts 4,467 4,467 — — Money market funds are included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments in employee deferred compensation trusts which are comprised of mutual funds are classified as trading securities are included in prepaid and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, changes in the fair value of securities held in the rabbi trust and offsetting increases or decreases in the deferred compensation obligation totaled $( 0.2 ) million and $( 0.1 ) million, respectively, and are recognized in other general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses represent financial instruments. The carrying value of these financial instruments is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. 16 Table of Contents JAKKS PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 2026 Note 14 — Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets Prepaid expenses and other assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consist of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 Prepaid expenses $ 7,240 $ 2,126 Royalty advances (current and non-current) 4,513 1,295 Investments in employee deferred compensation trusts 4,486 4,467 Income tax receivable 2,100 8,588 Employee retention credit 285 285 Other assets 125 112 $ 18,749 $ 16,873 Note 15 — Subsequent events On April 28, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $ 0.25 per common share. The dividend will be payable on June 30, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 29, 2026. On April 30, 2026 the Company filed a pre-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form S-3 (originally filed on October 29, 2025) pursuant to which it may issue, from time to time, up to $ 150.0 million of securities, which will be reduced by any amount of securities sold pursuant to the Company’s ATM Agreement (see Note 8 – Common Stock) Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the U.S. government established a claims process to refund certain tariffs deemed unlawful following a Supreme Court decision. The Company believes it may be eligible for refunds related to tariffs previously paid. As of the date of issuance, the Company has submitted a claim but the timing, eligibility, and amount of any potential recovery remain subject to uncertainty and administrative review. Accordingly, no receivable or gain has been recognized as of March 31, 2026. 17 Table of Contents Item 2.

Critical Accounting Estimates Our critical accounting policies and estimates are included in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and did not materially change during the first three months of 2026. New Accounting Pronouncements See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Results of Operations The following unaudited table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statement of income data as a percentage of net sales: Three Months Ended March 31, (Unaudited) 2026 2025 Net sales 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of sales: Cost of goods 48.9 48.3 Royalty expense 15.9 16.0 Amortization of tools and molds 1.8 1.3 Cost of sales 66.6 65.6 Gross profit 33.4 34.4 Direct selling expenses 7.7 7.7 General and administrative expenses 30.8 29.9 Depreciation and amortization 0.1 0.1 Selling, general and administrative expenses 38.6 37.7 Loss from operations (5.2 ) (3.3 ) Other income (expense), net — — Interest income 0.4 0.3 Interest expense — (0.1 ) Loss before benefit from income taxes (4.8 ) (3.1 ) Benefit from income taxes (0.8 ) (1.0 ) Net loss (4.0 )% (2.1 )% 18 Table of Contents The following unaudited table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data by segment (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, (Unaudited) 2026 2025 Net Sales Toys/Consumer Products $ 100,095 $ 107,438 Costumes 6,581 5,815 106,676 113,253 Cost of Sales Toys/Consumer Products 66,113 69,239 Costumes 4,957 5,001 71,070 74,240 Gross Profit Toys/Consumer Products 33,982 38,199 Costumes 1,624 814 $ 35,606 $ 39,013 Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 Net Sales Toys/Consumer Products. Net sales of our Toys/Consumer Products segment were $100.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $107.4 million for the prior year period, representing a decrease of $7.3 million, or 6.8%. The decrease was driven by lower sales from North American customers despite higher sales from our International regions. Dolls, Role-Play/Dress-up sales were down 32.4% versus a year ago due to lower sales related to the Moana 2 Movie product as well Disney Princess products. Net sales from the Action Play & Collectibles division were up 28.9% due to higher net sales from the Super Mario Movie 2 products. Costumes . Net sales of our Costumes segment were $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $5.8 million for the prior year period, representing an increase of $0.8 million, or 13.8%. The increase was primarily due to increased sales related to Nintendo costumes. Cost of Sales Toys/Consumer Products. Cost of sales of our Toys/Consumer Products segment was $66.1 million, or 66.0% of related net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $69.2 million, or 64.4% of related net sales for the prior year period, representing a decrease of $3.1 million, or 4.5%. The increase as a percentage of net sales was due to a higher cost of product and tolling amortization compared with prior year. Costumes . Cost of sales of our Costumes segment was $5.0 million, or 75.8% of related net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5.0 million, or 86.2% of related net sales for the prior year period. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was due to lower royalty expense. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were $41.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $42.8 million for the prior year period constituting 38.6% and 37.7% of net sales, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were slightly lower year over year, led by decreases in temp help and media spend. Benefit From Income Taxes Our income tax benefit, which includes federal, state and foreign income taxes and discrete items, was $0.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 16.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the comparable period in 2025, our income tax benefit was $1.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 32.8%. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a decrease in discrete tax benefits and an increase in pre-tax book loss for the current period. 19 Table of Contents Seasonality and Backlog The retail toy industry is inherently seasonal. Generally, our sales have been highest during the second and third quarters, and collections for those sales have been highest during the succeeding fourth and first quarters. Our working capital needs have been highest during the second and third quarters as we make royalty advance payments for some of our licenses and buy and sell inventory subject to customer payment terms. While we have taken steps to level sales over the entire year, sales are expected to remain heavily influenced by the seasonality of our toy and costume products. The result of these seasonal patterns is that operating results and the demand for working capital may vary significantly by quarter. Orders placed with us are generally cancelable until the date of shipment. The combination of seasonal demand and the potential for order cancellation makes accurate forecasting of future sales difficult and causes us to believe that backlog may not be an accurate indicator of our future sales. Similarly, financial results for a particular quarter may not be indicative of results for the entire year. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2026, we had working capital (inclusive of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash) of $111.8 million, compared to $121.0 million as of December 31, 2025, representing a decrease in working capital of $9.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. The decrease in working capital is mainly attributable to changes in receivables, inventory and payables, coupled with cash used in financing activities. Operating activities provided net cash of $21.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to net cash used of $1.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities year-over-year is primarily due to higher receivable collections, lower inventory purchases, less capital tied in prepaids and other assets, a lower cash out-flow for payables and a net refund of cash taxes paid in prior years. Other than open purchase orders issued in the normal course of business related to shipped product, we have no obligations to purchase inventory from our manufacturers. However, we may incur costs or other losses as a result of not placing orders consistent with our forecasts for product manufactured by our suppliers or manufacturers for a variety of reasons including customer order cancellations or a decline in demand. As part of our strategy to develop and market new products, we have entered into various character and product licenses with royalties/obligations generally ranging from 1% to 22% payable on net sales of such products. As of March 31, 2026, these agreements required future aggregate minimum royalty guarantees of $193.4 million exclusive of $4.5 million in advances already paid. Of this $193.4 million future minimum royalty guarantee, $66.8 million is due over the next twelve months. Investing activities used net cash of $5.8 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and consisted primarily of cash paid for the purchase of molds and tooling used in the manufacture of our products and purchases of investments to fund our obligation to our employees stemming from our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Financing activities used net cash of $4.3 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, mainly consists of $1.3 million used for the repurchase of our common stock for employee tax withholding and $2.9 million used to pay dividends. The cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, consists of $3.8 million used for the repurchase of our common stock for employee tax withholding and $2.8 million used to pay dividends. In June 2025, we terminated our existing $67.5 million JPMorgan ABL revolving credit facility in connection with entering into a new senior secured facility with BMO Bank N.A. The prior facility had no outstanding borrowings at the time of termination. We recorded a non-cash charge of $0.3 million for the write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the JPMorgan facility. On June 24, 2025, we entered into a new $70.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 24, 2030. This facility replaces our prior facility and is expected to provide improved pricing and enhanced liquidity flexibility. Interest is payable at either SOFR plus a leverage-based margin or a Base Rate alternative and includes a commitment fee on unused amounts. The facility includes financial covenants requiring a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and a maximum total net leverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. Availability under the revolving facility as of March 31, 2026, was $68.3 million. The facility provides the Company with flexibility to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. See Note 5 – Credit Facilities for additional information pertaining to our Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $64.0 million and $54.1 million, respectively. Cash, and cash equivalents, including restricted cash held outside of the United States in various foreign subsidiaries totaled $20.0 million and $16.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash balances in our foreign subsidiaries have either been fully taxed in the U.S. or tax has been accounted for in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or may be eligible for a full foreign dividends received deduction under such Act, and thus would not be subject to additional U.S. tax should such amounts be repatriated in the form of dividends or deemed distributions. As such, foreign withholding taxes on future repatriations are not expected to be significant. 20 Table of Contents Our primary sources of working capital are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit facility (see Note 5 – Credit Facilities). Typically, cash flows from operations are impacted by the effect on sales of (1) the appeal of our products, (2) the success of our licensed brands in motivating consumer purchase of related merchandise, (3) the highly competitive conditions existing in the toy industry and in securing commercially attractive licenses, (4) dependency on a limited set of large customers, and (5) general economic conditions. A downturn in any single factor or a combination of factors could have a material adverse impact upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to operate the business. In addition, our business and liquidity are dependent to a significant degree on our vendors and their financial health, as well as the ability to accurately forecast the demand for products. The loss of a key vendor, or material changes in support by them, or a significant variance in actual demand compared to the forecast, can have a material adverse impact on our cash flows and business. Given the conditions in the toy industry environment in general, vendors, including licensors, may seek further assurances or take actions to protect against non-payment of amounts due to them. Changes in this area could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity. As of March 31, 2026 off-balance sheet arrangements include letters of credit issued by JPMorgan of $0.9 million, temporarily secured with cash as collateral, and letters of credit issued by BMO of $1.7 million. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Interest Rate Risk Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our Revolving Facility (see Note 5 – Credit Facilities). As detailed in the BMO Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin or (ii) the Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio and ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% for SOFR loans and from 0.50% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility are therefore subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. Interest rate risk may result from many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control. Foreign Currency Risk We have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Canada and Mexico. Sales are generally made by these operations on FOB China or Hong Kong terms and are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, purchases of inventory and Hong Kong operating expenses are typically denominated in Hong Kong dollars and local operating expenses in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Canada, Mexico and China are denominated in local currency, thereby creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. Changes in the U.S. dollar exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our results of operations. We do not believe that near-term changes in these exchange rates, if any, will result in a material effect on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows. Therefore, we have chosen not to enter into foreign currency hedging transactions. We cannot assure you that this approach will be successful, especially in the event of a significant and sudden change in the value of these foreign currencies. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report, have concluded that as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) that occurred during the period covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 21 Table of Contents PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings We are a party to, and certain of our property is the subject of, various pending claims and legal proceedings that routinely arise in the ordinary course of our business. We accrue for losses when the loss is deemed probable and the liability can reasonably be estimated. Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the claim. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to the pending litigation and revise our estimates. In the normal course of business, we may provide certain indemnifications and/or other commitments of varying scope to a) our licensors, customers and certain other parties, including against third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, and b) our officers, directors and employees, including against third-party claims regarding the periods in which they serve in such capacities with us. The duration and amount of such obligations is, in certain cases, indefinite. Our director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy may, however, enable us to recover a portion of any future payments related to our officer, director or employee indemnifications. For the past five years, costs related to director and officer indemnifications have not been significant. Other than certain liabilities recorded in the normal course of business related to royalty payments due to our licensors, no liabilities have been recorded for indemnifications and/or other commitments.
