Spin Master said it was pleased with its “strong revenue growth” after revealing its financial results for the three- and six-month periods to the end of June 2022 which showed revenue across its toy revenue grow by more than a third helping its overall revenue soar to more than $500 million for the quarter.
Its overall revenue for the three months to the end of June was up by almost 30%, boosted partly by the big increase in toy revenue, and further aided by growth in digital revenue, which was up by more than 9%, as well as its entertainment business (up 3.3%). Figures for the six month period saw revenue grow to $930.5 million, up 31.5%, driven by toy revenue growing by 35.5% and digital growth of 28.7% compared to the same period in 2021, although entertainment revenue fell by 7%.
