“We launched one of our strongest Fall lines ever, with many of our toys making retailers’ top toy lists and in the quarter we grew both Gross Product Sales and Revenue while managing through the uncertain conditions arising from COVID-19,” said Ronnen Harary, Spin Master’s Co-CEO.

“Q1 2020 was a challenging quarter for Spin Master, as we dealt with both the evolving COVID-19 situation and the carryover effects from the operational challenges we experienced in the second half of 2019,” said Ronnen Harary, Spin Master’s Co-Chief Executive Officer.

Gross product sales for activities, games and puzzles was up 29.9%, fuelled by Gund sales and a strong showing for Spin Master’s games portfolio.
