    Widespread outbreaks of contagious disease may adversely affect the Company's business operations, employee availability, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow.

    Significant outbreaks of contagious diseases could have adverse effects on the overall economy and impact the Company's supply chain, manufacturing and distribution operations, transportation services, customers and employees, as well as consumer sentiment in general and traffic within the retail stores that carry the Company's products. A pandemic could adversely affect the Company's revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows and require significant actions in response, including employee furloughs, closings of Company facilities, expense reductions or discounts of the pricing of the Company's products, all in an effort to mitigate such effects. During fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic led global government authorities to implement numerous public health measures, including quarantines, business closures, travel bans and lockdowns to confront the pandemic. China's efforts to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus by locking down its largest cities placed a strain on already-stressed global supply chains. Several of the Company's customers experienced financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, or any other outbreak of contagious disease, could adversely affect the Company's revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows and may require significant actions in response, including employee furloughs, closings of Company facilities, expense reductions or discounts of the pricing of the Company's products, all in an effort to mitigate such effects.

Regulation3 | 14.3%
  • Regulation - Risk 1
    Changes in international trade regulations and other risks associated with foreign trade could adversely affect the Company's sourcing.

    The Company sources its products primarily from foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. Difficulties encountered by these suppliers, such as fires, accidents, natural disasters, outbreaks of infectious diseases (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and the instability inherent in operating within an authoritarian political structure, could halt or disrupt production and shipment of the Company's products. The Chinese government could make allegations against the Company of corruption or antitrust violations, or could adopt regulations related to the manufacture of products within China, including quotas, duties, taxes and other charges or restrictions on the exportation of goods produced in China. In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. government and other allied countries across the world have levied coordinated and wide-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. If similar sanctions were levied against China, up to and including a ban on the importation of goods manufactured in China, then the Company could be forced to source its products from suppliers in other countries. Any of these actions could result in an increase in the cost of the Company's products, if the Company was even in a position to maintain the current sourcing of its products. Also, an arbitrary strengthening of the Chinese currency versus the U.S. Dollar could increase the prices at which the Company purchases finished goods. In addition, changes in U.S. customs procedures or delays in the clearance of goods through customs could result in the Company being unable to deliver goods to customers in a timely manner or the potential loss of sales altogether. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect the Company's profitability.

  • Regulation - Risk 2
    The loss of one or more of the Company's licenses could result in a material loss of revenues.

    Sales of licensed products represented 40% of the Company's gross sales in fiscal year 2023, which included 29% of sales associated with the Company's license agreements with Disney. The Company could experience a material loss of revenues if it is unable to renew its major license agreements or obtain new licenses. The volume of sales of licensed products is inherently tied to the success of the characters, films and other licensed programs of the Company's licensors. A decline in the popularity of these licensed programs or the inability of the licensors to develop new properties for licensing could also result in a material loss of revenues to the Company. Additionally, the Company's license agreements with Disney and others require a material amount of minimum guaranteed royalty payments. The failure by the Company to achieve the sales envisioned by the license agreements could result in the payment by the Company of shortfalls in the minimum guaranteed royalty payments, which would adversely impact the Company's operating results.

  • Regulation - Risk 3
    The Company's sourcing and marketing operations in foreign countries are subject to anti-corruption laws.

    The Company's foreign operations are subject to laws prohibiting improper payments and bribery, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions, which apply to the Company's directors, officers, employees and agents acting on behalf of the Company. Failure to comply with these laws could result in damage to the Company's reputation, a diversion of management's attention from its business, increased legal and investigative costs, and civil and criminal penalties, any or all of which could adversely affect the Company's operating results.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
