Overview
We are a leading pop culture consumer products company. Our business is built on the belief that everyone is a fan of something, andFunko aims to have something for every fan. We create whimsical, fun and unique products that enable fans to express their affinity for their favorite "something"-whether it is a movie, TV show, video game, musician or sports team. We infuse our distinct designs and aesthetic sensibility into our extensive portfolio of licensed content over a wide variety of product categories, including figures, bags, wallets, apparel, accessories, board games, plush and homewares, which we make available at highly accessible price points. We believe we sit at the nexus of pop culture-content providers value us for our ability to connect fans to their properties with our creative products and broad distribution; retailers value us for our broad portfolio of licensed pop culture products that we can curate to resonate with their consumers; and consumers value us for our distinct, stylized products and the content they represent. We believe our innovative product design and market positioning have disrupted the licensed product markets and helped to define today's pop culture products category. COVID-19 The novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant loss of life and disruption to the global economy, including the curtailment of activities by businesses and consumers in much of the world as governments and others seek to limit the spread of the disease and its variants, and through business and transportation shutdowns and restrictions on people's movement and congregation. As a result of the onset of the pandemic, we experienced weakened demand for our products, which had a negative impact on our net sales and liquidity in 2020. Many customers deferred or significantly reduced orders of our product as a result of government-mandated closures and limitations on in-store occupancy. We also had experienced key account closures, which drove strategic decisions to shift the timing of new product delivery to preserve demand. We are also continually monitoring our suppliers and manufacturers of our products. In 2020, we faced delays or difficulty sourcing products, in response to which we shifted a greater amount of our production fromChina toVietnam . Notwithstanding the shift in production toVietnam , we expect that the cost of shipping containers will increase over historical levels for the remainder of 2021 due to the global pandemic and other issues impacting global supply chains. We believe that the greatest impact from the COVID-19 pandemic occurred in the second quarter of 2020 during which we experienced a significant net sales decline as compared to the second quarter of 2019. If a significant surge in COVID-19 or variant strain cases occurs, and is accompanied by additional closures or a significant halt in reopenings, the remainder of 2021 could potentially be impacted. We have taken actions to protect our employees in response to the pandemic, including closing our corporate offices and requiring our office employees to work from home. At our distribution centers, certain practices are in effect to safeguard workers, including but not limited to, required daily health pre-screening, providing personal protective equipment and operating with a staggered work schedule, and we are continuing to monitor direction from local and national governments carefully. 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Performance Indicators We consider the following metrics to be key performance indicators to evaluate our business, develop financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (amounts in thousands) Net sales$ 236,110 $ 98,099 $ 425,287 $ 234,799 Net income (loss)$ 20,944 $ (15,009) $ 32,030 $ (20,741) EBITDA (1)$ 37,687 $ (2,950) $ 63,565 $ 4,106 Adjusted EBITDA (1)$ 41,056 $ 225 $ 70,828 $ 10,821 (1)Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not calculated in accordance withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), or non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most closely comparableU.S. GAAP financial measure, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. 21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations Three Months EndedJune 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months EndedJune 30, 2020 The following table sets forth information comparing the components of net income for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020: Three Months Ended June 30, Period over Period Change 2021 2020 Dollar Percentage (amounts in thousands, except percentages) Net sales$ 236,110 $ 98,099 $ 138,011 140.7 % Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below) 143,756 62,182 81,574 131.2 % Selling, general, and administrative expenses 54,875 39,110 15,765 40.3 % Depreciation and amortization 10,188 11,071 (883) (8.0) % Total operating expenses 208,819 112,363 96,456 85.8 % Income (loss) from operations 27,291 (14,264) 41,555 nm Interest expense, net 1,973 2,691 (718) (26.7) % Other income, net (208) (243) 35 (14.4) % Income (loss) before income taxes 25,526 (16,712) 42,238 nm Income tax expense (benefit) 4,582 (1,703) 6,285 nm Net income (loss) 20,944 (15,009) 35,953 nm Less: net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests 7,131 (4,424) 11,555 nm Net income (loss) attributable to Funko, Inc.$ 13,813 $ (10,585) $ 24,398 nm Net Sales Net sales were$236.1 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of 140.7%, compared to$98.1 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . The three months endedJune 30, 2020 saw the greatest impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with significant declines in net sales due to reduced customer shipments and non-essential business closures and other social distancing guidelines. In addition to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , the increase in net sales was due primarily to increased sales to specialty retailer, distributors and direct-to-consumer customers for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , the number of active properties increased 23.4% to 795 as compared to 644 for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , and the average net sales per active property increased 95.0% for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . An active property is a licensed property from which we generate sales of products during a given period. While we expect to see growth in the number of active properties and average sales per active property over time, we expect that the number of active properties and the average sales per active property will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on what is relevant in pop culture at that time, the types of properties we are producing against and general economic trends. 22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a geographical basis, net sales inthe United States increased 109.5% to$163.2 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to$77.9 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . Net sales inEurope increased 392.8% to$52.0 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to$10.6 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2020 and net sales internationally increased 116.8% to$20.9 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to$9.6 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . Increases inEurope and other international net sales were due primarily to increased sales to specialty retailer, distributors and e-commerce sites in addition to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . On a product category basis, net sales of figures increased 141.9% to$187.2 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to$77.4 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , and net sales of other products increased 136.1% to$48.9 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to$20.7 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . On a branded product basis, net sales of Pop! branded products increased 137.3% to$185.4 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to$78.1 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , Loungefly branded products increased 132.1% to$29.6 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to$12.7 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2020 and net sales of other branded products increased 192.9% to$21.1 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to$7.2 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . Cost of Sales and Gross Margin (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was$143.8 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of 131.2%, compared to$62.2 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased primarily as a result of increased sales, as discussed above. Gross margin (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), calculated as net sales less cost of sales as a percentage of net sales, was 39.1% for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , compared to 36.6% for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . The increase in gross margin (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2020 was driven primarily by improved global product margins offset by an increase in shipping and freight costs as a percentage of net sales during the three months endedJune 30, 2021 due to continued global supply chain capacity constraints driving increased freight costs. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Selling, general, and administrative expenses were$54.9 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of 40.3%, compared to$39.1 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . The increase was driven primarily by a$14.2 million increase to personnel and related costs (including salary and related taxes/benefits, commissions, equity-based compensation and variable warehouse labor and third party logistics expenses), a$1.7 million increase in advertising and marketing costs and$0.6 million increase in product development costs. These costs were partially offset by a decrease of$1.9 million in administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.2% and 39.9% of net sales for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was due to increased net sales outpacing selling, general, and administrative expenses. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense was$10.2 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , a decrease of 8.0%, compared to$11.1 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , primarily related to the type and timing of assets placed in service. 23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net was$2.0 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , a decrease of 26.7%, compared to$2.7 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . The decrease in interest expense, net was due primarily to a lower average balance on debt outstanding during the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . Other income, net Other income, net was$0.2 million for both the three months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was primarily related to foreign currency gains and losses relating to transactions denominated in currencies other than theU.S. dollar. Income tax expense (benefit) Income tax expense was$4.6 million and income tax benefit was$1.7 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 fromJune 30, 2020 was primarily related to an increase in income before income taxes. Net income (loss) Net income was$20.9 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , compared to net loss of$15.0 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 . The increase in net income was primarily due to the increase in net sales, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , as discussed above. 24 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ended June 30, 2020 , the increase in net sales was due primarily to increased
sales to specialty retailer, distributor and direct-to-consumer customers for
the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2020 .

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $254.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2021 , an increase of 77.3%, compared to $143.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 . Cost of sales (exclusive of
depreciation and amortization) increased primarily as a result of increased
sales, as discussed above.

sales less cost of sales as a percentage of net sales, was 40.1% for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 , compared to 38.8% for the six months ended June 30,
2020 . The increase in gross margin (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2020 was driven primarily by improved global product margins offset by an
increase in shipping and freight costs as a percentage of net sales during the
six months ended June 30, 2021 due to global supply chain capacity constraints
driving increased freight costs.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $106.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 , an increase of 22.8%, compared to $86.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 . The increase was driven primarily by a $18.0
million increase to personnel and related costs (including salary and related
taxes/benefits, commissions, equity-based compensation and variable warehouse
labor and third party logistics expenses), a $2.3 million increase in
advertising and marketing costs and $0.9 million increase in facilities and
rent. These costs were partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in
administrative costs and $1.1 million in warehouse and office support. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were 25.0% and 36.8% of net sales for the
six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was due to
increased net sales outpacing selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $20.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021 , a decrease of 7.3%, compared to $22.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2020 , primarily related to the type and timing of assets placed
in service.

decrease of 21.2%, compared to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2020 . The decrease in interest expense, net was due primarily to a lower average
balance on debt outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 .
Other expense, net
Other expense, net was $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Other expense, net for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was primarily related to foreign currency gains and
losses relating to transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income tax expense (benefit)
Income tax expense was $6.9 million and income tax benefit was $2.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase for the
six months ended June 30, 2021 from June 30, 2020 was primarily related to an
increase in income before income taxes.
Net income (loss)
Net income was $32.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 , compared to
net loss of $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 . The increase
in net income was primarily due to the increase in net sales, partially offset
by an increase in cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and
selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 , as discussed above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss)
per Diluted Share (collectively the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") are
supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented
in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not
measurements of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share or
any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define
EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense
(benefit), depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA
further adjusted for non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation
programs, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency
transaction losses (gains) and other unusual or one-time items. We define
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) attributable to Funko, Inc.
adjusted for the reallocation of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling
interests from the assumed exchange of all outstanding common units and options
in FAH, LLC for newly issued-shares of Class A common stock of Funko, Inc. and
further adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash charges and other items that
we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These
items include, among other things, non-cash charges related to equity-based
compensation programs, certain severance, relocation and related costs, foreign
currency transaction losses (gains) and other unusual or one-time items, and the
income tax (expense) benefit effect of these adjustments. We define Adjusted
Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the
weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (1) the
full exchange of all outstanding common units and options in FAH, LLC for newly
issued-shares of Class A common stock of Funko, Inc. and (2) the dilutive effect
of stock options and unvested common units, if any. We caution investors that
amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of the Non-GAAP Financial
Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors,
because not all companies and analysts calculate the Non-GAAP Financial Measures
in the same manner. We present the Non-GAAP Financial Measures because we
consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and
believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management
believes that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by
including these Non-GAAP Financial Measures as a reasonable basis for comparing
our ongoing results of operations.
Management uses the Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
•as a measurement of operating performance because they assist us in comparing
the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as they remove
the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
•for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual
operating budget and financial projections;
•as a consideration to assess incentive compensation for our employees;
•to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies;
and
•to evaluate our capacity to expand our business.
28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By providing these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, together with reconciliations,
we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our
results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we
are executing our strategic initiatives. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have
limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or
as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income (loss) or other financial
statement data presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as
indicators of financial performance. Some of the limitations are:
•such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for
capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
capital needs;
•such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements
necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being
depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such
measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we
do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Due to these limitations, Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered
as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our
business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S.
GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. As noted in
the table below, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include adjustments for
non-cash charges related to equity-based compensation programs, certain
severance, relocation and related costs, foreign currency transaction losses
(gains) and other unusual or one-time items. It is reasonable to expect that
these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments
are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from
period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our
business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and
operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring
adjustments and other adjustments described herein and in the reconciliation
table below help management with a measure of our core operating performance
over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

Liquidity and Financial Condition
Introduction
Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital,
inventory management, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate
needs.
Notwithstanding our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement between
Funko, Inc. , FAH, LLC and each of the Continuing Equity Owners, we believe that
our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued
operations, growth strategy, our planned capital expenditures and the additional
expenses we expect to incur as a public company for at least the next 12 months.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table shows summary cash flow information for the six months ended
June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):
Six
Months Ended
2021 2020
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 71,431 $ 32,208
Net cash used in investing activities (11,129) (11,676)
Net cash used in financing activities (17,116) (6,259)
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents 33 1,625
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents $
43,219
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was$71.4 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , compared to$32.2 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 . Changes in net cash provided by operating activities result primarily from cash received from net sales and cash payments for product costs and royalty expenses paid to our licensors. Other drivers of the changes in net cash provided by operating activities include shipping and freight costs, selling, general and administrative expenses (including personnel expenses and commissions and rent and facilities costs) and interest payments made for our short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Our accounts receivable typically are short term and settle in approximately 30 to 90 days. The increase for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2020 was primarily due to the increase in net income, excluding non-cash adjustments, of$51.0 million . Partially offsetting the increase in net income was a decrease related to changes in working capital that decreased net cash provided by operating activities by$11.8 million and was primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable, net of$61.8 million , inventory of$26.6 million and prepaid expenses and other assets of$10.2 million , partially offset by a decrease in accrued expense and other current liabilities of$38.1 million , accounts payable of$25.8 million and accrued royalties of$17.1 million . 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investing Activities. Our net cash used in investing activities primarily consists of purchases of property and equipment. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , net cash used in investing activities was$11.1 million and was primarily related to purchases of tooling and molds used in production for our product lines. For the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , net cash used in investing activities was$11.7 million and was primarily related to purchases of tooling and molds used in production our product lines. Financing Activities. Our financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs, the repayment of long-term debt, payments and borrowings under our line of credit facility, distributions to the Continuing Equity Owners and proceeds from the exercise of equity-based options. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , net cash used in financing activities was$17.1 million , primarily related to payments on the Term Loan Facility of$13.9 million , and distributions to the Continuing Equity Owners of$6.9 million , partially offset by proceeds from exercise of equity-based options of$3.7 million . For the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , net cash used in financing activities was$6.3 million , primarily related to payments on the Term Loan Facility of$5.9 million and distributions to the Continuing Equity Owners of$2.7 million , partially offset by net borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility of$3.0 million . Credit Facilities OnOctober 22, 2018 ,Funko Acquisition Holdings, L.L.C., Funko Holdings LLC, Funko, LLC andLoungefly, LLC (each, a "Borrower" and collectively, the "Borrowers"), entered into a new Credit Agreement by and among each Borrower, certain financial institutions party thereto andPNC Bank, National Association , as administrative agent and collateral agent, providing for a Term Loan Facility in the amount of$235.0 million and a Revolving Credit Facility of$50.0 million . Proceeds from the Credit Facilities were primarily used to repay our prior senior secured credit facilities. OnFebruary 11, 2019 , the Company amended its Credit Agreement to increase the Revolving Credit Facility to$75.0 million , reflecting the incremental capacity of$25.0 million contemplated under the Credit Facilities prior to such amendment. OnSeptember 23, 2019 , the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"). The Second Amendment extended the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement toSeptember 23, 2024 , reduced the interest margin applicable to all loans under the Credit Agreement by 0.75% and reduced certain fees incurred under the Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment also allows the Company to request that the Term Loan Facility be increased by an additional$25.0 million . OnMay 5, 2020 , the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment"), which modified financial covenants and adjusted the required leverage levels for the Leverage Ratio to provide the Company with additional flexibility. 32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of the Borrowers and any of their existing or future material domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. We are a holding company with no material assets, and we do not conduct any business operations of our own. We have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and our ability to pay dividends in the future, if any, is dependent upon the financial results and cash flows ofFAH, LLC and its subsidiaries and distributions we receive fromFAH, LLC . Under the terms of the Credit Facilities, our operating subsidiaries are currently limited in their ability to pay cash dividends to the Company, subject to certain customary exceptions, including: •the ability to pay, so long as there is no current or ongoing event of default, amounts required to be paid under the Tax Receivable Agreement, certain expenses associated with being a public company and reimbursement of expenses required by theFAH LLC Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement; and •the ability to make other distributions of up to$25.0 million during any period of four fiscal quarters in order to pay dividends to the common unit holders ofFAH, LLC (including the Company) as long as the funds received by the Company are used to pay dividends to the Company's stockholders, the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is not greater than a ratio that is 0.50:1.00 less than the Leverage Ratio under the Pro Forma Financial Covenant Requirement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the applicable fiscal quarter and there is remaining Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Facilities of at least$25.0 million . We expect these limitations to continue in the future under the terms of the Credit Agreement and that they may continue under the terms of any future credit agreement or any future debt or preferred equity securities of ours or of our subsidiaries. The Borrowers and any of their existing or future material domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions, guarantee repayment of the Credit Facilities. The Term Loan Facility matures onSeptember 23, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"). The Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments in aggregate amounts equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility ("Original Principal Amount") in the first and second years of the Term Loan Facility, 10.00% of the Original Principal Amount in the third and fourth years of the Term Loan Facility and 12.50% of the Original Principal Amount in the fifth and sixth year of the Term Loan Facility, with any outstanding balance due and payable on the Maturity Date. The Revolving Credit Facility terminates on the Maturity Date and loans thereunder may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed up to such date. As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As amended, loans under the Credit Facilities, at the Borrowers' option, bear interest at either the Euro-Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or, in the case of swing loans, the Swing Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 3.00% or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.00%, with 0.25% step-downs based on the achievement of certain leverage ratios. The Euro-Rate is subject to a 1.00% floor and for loans based on the Euro-Rate, interest payments are due at the end of each applicable interest period. The Credit Agreement governing the Credit Facilities contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability to: •incur additional indebtedness; •incur certain liens; •consolidate, merge or sell or otherwise dispose of our assets; •alter the business conducted by us and our subsidiaries; 33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- •make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions; •pay dividends or make other distributions on equity interests, or redeem, repurchase or retire equity interests; •enter into transactions with affiliates; •enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends; •issue or sell equity interests or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity interests; •redeem, repurchase or refinance other indebtedness; and •amend or modify our governing documents. In addition, the Credit Agreement requiresFAH, LLC and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Leverage Ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (in each case, measured on a trailing four-quarter basis). The maximum Leverage Ratio and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for the fiscal quarter endingJune 30, 2021 are 2.75:1.00 and 1.25:1.00, respectively. As ofJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , we were in compliance with all covenants in our Credit Agreement, as amended. We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements based on our current expectations and forecasts. If economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic worsen and the Company's earnings and operating cash flows do not continue to recover as currently estimated by management, this could impact our ability to maintain compliance with our amended financial covenants and require the Company to seek additional amendments to our Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. In addition, the lenders under the Credit Facilities will be permitted to accelerate all outstanding borrowings and other obligations, terminate outstanding commitments and exercise other specified remedies upon the occurrence of certain events of default (subject to certain grace periods and exceptions), which include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain cross-defaults and cross-accelerations to other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain judgments and changes of control. The Credit Agreement defines "change of control" to include, among other things, any person or group other than ACON and its affiliates becoming the beneficial owner of more than 35% of the voting power of the equity interests ofFunko, Inc. As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had$177.4 million of indebtedness outstanding under our Term Loan Facility (net of unamortized discount of$2.6 million ) and no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, leaving$75.0 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility. Form S-3 Registration Statement OnApril 19, 2019 , we filed a preliminary shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (as amended onMay 13, 2019 andAugust 30, 2019 , the "Form S-3") with theSEC . The Form S-3 was declared effective by theSEC onSeptember 16, 2019 . The Form S-3 allows us to offer and sell from time-to-time up to$100.0 million of Class A common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts or units comprised of any combination of these securities for our own account and allows certain selling stockholders to offer and sell 27,884,185 shares of Class A common stock in one or more offerings. The Form S-3 is intended to provide us flexibility to conduct registered sales of our securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs. The terms of any future offering under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with theSEC prior to the completion of any such offering. 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had$95.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and$144.3 million of working capital, compared with$52.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and$120.7 million of working capital as ofDecember 31, 2020 . Working capital is impacted by the seasonal trends of our business and the timing of new product releases, as well as our current portion of long-term debt and draw downs on our line of credit. Sources As noted above, historically, our primary sources of cash flows have been cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our Credit Facilities. We expect these sources of liquidity to continue to be our primary sources of liquidity. For a discussion of our Credit Facilities, see "Credit Facilities" above and Note 5, Debt. In addition, as described above, onApril 19, 2019 , we filed a preliminary shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with theSEC , which was declared effective by theSEC onSeptember 16, 2019 . The terms of any offering under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with theSEC prior to the completion of any such offering. Uses Additional future liquidity needs may include public company costs, tax distributions, the redemption right held by the Continuing Equity Owners that they may exercise from time to time (should we elect to exchange their common units for a cash payment), payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and general cash requirements for operations and capital expenditures. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise their redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, we expect that the payments we will be required to make to the Continuing Equity Owners will be significant. Any payments made by us to the Continuing Equity Owners under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise have been available to us or toFAH, LLC and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us; provided however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Seasonality While our customers in the retail industry typically operate in highly seasonal businesses, we have historically experienced only moderate seasonality in our business. Historically, over 50% of our net sales are made in the third and fourth quarters, primarily in the period from August through November, as our customers build up their inventories in anticipation of the holiday season. Historically, the first quarter of the year has represented the lowest volume of shipment and sales in our business and in the retail and toy industries generally and it is also the least profitable quarter due to the various fixed costs of the business. However, the rapid growth we have experienced in recent years may have masked the full effects of seasonal factors on our business to date, and as such, seasonality may have a greater effect on our results of operations in future periods. Contractual Obligations There were no material changes in our commitments during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 under contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 outside the course of normal business. 35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As ofJune 30, 2021 , we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance withU.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions in accordance withU.S. GAAP that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we consider the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies and estimates include those related to revenue recognition and sales allowances, royalties, inventory, goodwill and intangible assets, and income taxes. Changes to these policies and estimates could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies to our disclosure reported in "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 . Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. We are primarily exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency. These market risks arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. In the six months endedJune 30, 2021 we entered into additional short-term foreign currency forward exchange contracts to economically hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk. The unrealized gain (loss) and realized gain (loss) was not material for the short-term foreign currency forward exchanges. There have been no other material changes in our market risk from the disclosure included under "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 . 36
