Tonies Confirms Targets Despite Recall; North America Leads Growth
Tonies, the Luxembourg-based maker of Toniebox audio players and Tonies figurines, reported strong third-quarter results despite a product recall. Group revenue grew 33% to €423 million in the first nine months, with North America surging 45%. Figure sales rose over a third to €131 million, while Toniebox sales brought €44 million in Q3. Management reaffirmed its full-year guidance of more than 20% currency-adjusted revenue growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9-11%. The recall involved the 'Helene Fischer – Die schönsten Kinderlieder' Tonie due to a potential choking hazard, but the company said production and delivery have ceased and customers can choose a refund or replacement. The company's international expansion, including licensing deals like Pokémon, is driving growth, though the stock dipped initially following the news.
