EVERETT, Wash. - Pop culture lifestyle brand Funko, Inc. (NASDAQ:FNKO), currently trading near its 52-week lows after a challenging period that saw its stock decline over 64% in the past six months, announced Wednesday it has executed an amendment to its existing credit facilities to provide financial covenant flexibility for the next two quarters. According to InvestingPro data, the company faces some financial headwinds with short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets.
The amendment, completed on July 16, includes waivers for the maximum net leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenants for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2025, and ending September 30, 2025.
As part of the agreement, Funko’s revolving credit commitments will be reduced from $150 million to $135 million effective immediately, with a further reduction to $125 million scheduled for December 31, 2025.
"As part of our comprehensive tariff mitigation plans, we have proactively amended our existing credit agreement to allow more covenant flexibility during this dynamic period," said Yves Le Pendeven, Funko’s Chief Financial Officer, in a press release statement.
The company noted it received unanimous consent from its bank group for the amendment. Additionally, Funko has engaged Moelis & Company LLC to advise on options for refinancing its credit facilities, which are set to mature on September 17, 2026.
Funko, headquartered in Washington state, operates through multiple brands including Funko, Loungefly, and Mondo. The company is known for its Pop! vinyl figures and other collectibles targeting the growing "Kidult" market segment.
The full text of the amendment is available in Funko’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
