Financials Market: tonies H1 2026 Revenue Up Over 40%
German toy maker tonies reported a strong first half of 2026, with currency-adjusted revenue rising 41% to €242.9 million driven by high demand for the Toniebox 2 and expanded product and licensing activity. North America became the company's largest and fastest-growing market, generating €104.3 million (up 57% y/y). Hardware revenues (Toniebox) and Tonie-figures also climbed steeply. Adjusted EBITDA margin was temporarily compressed to 0.7% in H1 and free cash flow was negative (€-64.3m) due to seasonal inventory build and US tariffs. tonies confirmed its 2026 guidance: currency-adjusted revenue growth of more than 20% to over €760 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin target of 9–11% for the full year.
