These investments are expected to begin delivering measurable benefits in calendar 2027 and beyond, while the Company continues to drive near-term operational performance across its owned brands, WildBrain CPLG, its production slate, and its differentiated digital platforms.The Company will re-segment its financial reporting structure to reflect our updated operating model and the way management reviews performance and allocates resources internally. Given the timing and early stage of the infrastructure and technology investments, the Company is maintaining a pause on Fiscal 2026 guidance.

As of March 31, 2026, there were 213,814,293 Common Shares issued and outstanding, of which 114,185,411 Common Shares comprised the public float.The NCIB will commence on April 10, 2026 and will terminate on the earlier of (i) April 9, 2027, (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of Common Shares permitted under the NCIB, or (iii) such earlier date as the Company may determine.Purchases under the NCIB may be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative Canadian trading systems at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition, in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX and applicable securities laws. Subject to the TSX's block purchase exception, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be purchased on any trading day will not exceed 28,120 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares on the TSX for the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, being 112,480 Common Shares.All Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

The ASPP permits the purchase of Common Shares under the NCIB during periods when the Company would ordinarily be prohibited from trading in its securities due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed trading blackout periods.

Subsequent to the quarter, WildBrain's hit Netflix show, Finding Her Edge, was greenlit for a second season.Subsequent to the quarter, Season 2 of Yo Gabba GabbaLand! launched on Apple TV.Q2 Financial Highlights for Continuing Operations1Revenue from continuing operations was $72.4 million, up 11% year over year. Net loss attributable to Shareholders of the Company from continuing operations was $20.1 million, compared with net loss attributable to Shareholders of the Company of $86.4 million in Q2 2025. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to WildBrain2 from continuing operations was $14.9 million, up 30% year over year. Q2 Financial Highlights for Discontinued Operations1Revenue from discontinued operations was $131.8 million, up 83% year over year, driven by recognition of the Peanuts library renewal deal with Apple TV. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to WildBrain2 from discontinued operations was $22.6 million, up 54% year over year. Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 11, 2026) - WildBrain Ltd. (TSX: WILD) ("WildBrain" or the "Company"), a global leader in family entertainment, today reported its second quarter ("Q2 2026") results for the period ended December 31, 2025. Josh Scherba, WildBrain President and CEO, said: "Our Global Licensing business delivered standout performance in the second quarter, driven by continued momentum across Strawberry Shortcake and Teletubbies. Our content also continues to resonate with global audiences, highlighted by the successful debut of Finding Her Edge on Netflix and its rapid renewal, reinforcing the strength of our premium content pipeline and our ability to deliver culturally relevant stories that travel internationally. "The announced transaction to sell our interest in Peanuts crystallizes the value of the brand and will eliminate our debt and provide the financial flexibility to reinvest in high-growth, high-margin opportunities. With a more focused business and the ability to invest where we see the strongest returns, I am confident in what lies ahead for WildBrain."Nick Gawne, WildBrain CFO, added: "The second quarter marked an important period of transition for WildBrain as we advanced initiatives to simplify our operating and financial profile. The wind-down of our Canadian Television Broadcasting business and the announced Peanuts transaction reflect a deliberate shift toward a more focused, scalable and capital-efficient business model."The anticipated repayment of our Senior Secured Credit Facility upon closing of the Peanuts transaction, will significantly strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our ability to invest in our core businesses. With a streamlined cost structure, a simplified balance sheet, plus the capital flexibility to invest for strong revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow growth, we're entering a new phase of opportunity for WildBrain."Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook Fiscal 2026 guidance remains paused while the Company accelerates a transformational agenda that is reshaping its growth profile and positioning it for durable, higher-quality returns. Over the past twelve months, the Company has executed a series of strategic moves-including the exit of its Television business, simplification of its share structure, and the anticipated sale of its interest in Peanuts with the associated full repayment of debt-that materially strengthen the balance sheet and sharpen management's focus on high-growth opportunities.With debt eliminated and strong free cash flow from continuing operations, the Company is primed to invest meaningfully in structural reorganization and automation initiatives that will reduce SG&A, improve scalability, and enhance long-term margins. These investments are expected to begin delivering measurable benefits in calendar 2027 and beyond, while the Company continues to drive near-term operational performance across its owned brands, WildBrain CPLG, its production slate, and its differentiated digital platforms.To better reflect the Company's go-forward operations and provide investors with clearer insight into underlying economics, the Company will re-segment its financial reporting. Given the timing and early stage of the infrastructure and technology investments, the Company is maintaining a pause on Fiscal 2026 guidance; management expects to learn more about the scale of our transformation opportunities in the coming months and anticipates resuming financial guidance for Fiscal 2027. The Company will continue to provide regular qualitative updates on strategic priorities, operational progress, and the path to enhanced profitability.Q2 2026 Financial Highlights from Continuing Operations1In Q2 2026, revenue from continuing operations increased 11% to $72.4 million, compared to $65.5 million in Q2 2025.

 Subsequent to the closure of Television on October 22, 2025, and the announcement of the definitive agreement to sell its 41% stake in Peanuts Holdings LLC on December 18, 2025, in order to provide a consistent and clear view of the continuing operations of the business, the Company is presenting its results both on a continuing operations and discontinued operations basis. The continuing operations basis excludes the results of Television, and Peanuts. The results of Peanuts remove the results arising directly from the Company's ownership of 41% of Peanuts Holdings LLC, the Company's current role as distributor of Peanuts content, and any adjustments made to balances to consolidate Peanuts activity into the Company's results. For example, commissions earned representing Peanuts' consumer products business are recorded as revenue from continuing operations, and the commensurate cost of sale is recorded as discontinued operations.Free Cash Flow, Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to WildBrain are non-GAAP financial measures - see below for further details.Continuing and discontinued operations do not sum to previously reported consolidated revenue and cost of sales primarily due to the recognition of WildBrain CPLG commissions in continuing operations, which were previously eliminated as intercompany revenue under consolidated reporting.Q2 2026 Conference CallThe Company will hold a conference call on February 12, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results.To listen online, please visit the following link: https://www.gowebcasting.com/14602To listen by phone, please dial +1-833-752-5599 in North America (toll free) or +1 647-258-0576 internationally (tolls apply).

Back in @ $1.66
Time to sit on this for another 2 months (:

Well I initially bought in @ $0.88 and sold today @ $1.97 So 124% profit . I will buy in again if it dips again though.

$2.17 !!

Up to $2.12 or approx 55% BOOM!!!

still a lot of interest to pay every quarter

Also in their last news release they said they have paid off approx $300M in the last 2 years. So if they are doing 40% better now than average and keep this up, they could very well pay off the entire $507M in 2-3 years. Everything is just looking more positive now all around so I’m going to continue and hold.

Yes they have 507M of debt which doesn’t mature until the end of 2023 or later, so for now we got a good 2 years to see what happens and how they deal with the debt.

I am a shareholder but hesitant to buy more with the company having over $500 million
in debt.........thats a lot to pay down. Any thoughts?

Closed at $1.38 - 14% increase ! Good green day!

$1.43 !! 18.18% today

$1.40!! 15.7% BOOM.

And I’m the only one here :)

$1.39 !! 14.88% still morning

$1.37!!

After that rise up to $1.51 there’s was some profit taking last week, but now we’re back up to $1.36. Up 12.4% today and it’s still morning. Smarter bigger buyers are jumping in now!

Bought in on April 2nd @ $0.88 - Currently @ $1.39 so I can’t complain.

Hello everyone. This company has been around for quite awhile now. They were slumping, but now thanks to the Coronavirus they are making big profits. They paid off a massive loan and are back on track. Wildbrain pretty much runs all the family and cartoon shows on Canadian Television. More kids and family have been watching the shows since the lockdown. Wildbrain has new shows airing this summer that should get more people hooked. They are moving back up to old numbers.
