With thisreport, we highlight how TB2 secures additional growthpotential to thisalready upbeat investment case:The TB2 effectively substantiialy increases the adressable market to 1-9year olds (prev. 3-7year olds) by adding the interactive play format"Tonieplay", especially relevant for the age group 5-9and also introduced"My First Tonies", a line of figurines designed for children aged one orolder.Besides that, notable hardware upgrades, further content partnershipsand likely higher usernumbers, should lay the foundation for a strongdemand, which is visible already.Unmatched competitive position. Being the first mover and effectively theinventor of a completelynew toy category has turned tonies into the categoryleader of screen-free entertainment for kidswith the largest customer baseworldwide. tonies unique ecosystem creates strong lock-in effects , wherekids want to expand their beloved figurines collection that leads to higherengagementrates. On the partner side, tonies is the go-to content platformfor global licensors (e.g. Disney,PawPatrol, Hasbro, Pokémon), given itslarge worldwide installed base and broad reach.Next to growth from product innovations, tonies has ample growth frominternationalization andmarket roll-outs ahead. Especially in the US(currently c. 10% market penetration, far below DACH levels of c. 50%),tonies should be able to more than double sales to EUR 473m by FY'28e(eNuW).This should be driven by rising demand from retailers and expandingvisibility at their stores aswell as strong customer awareness due to anexceptionally high NPS of 77. Next to the US andDACH, tonies'data-driven approach allows it to make expansion decisions based onalreadyknown customer insights. Therefore, we expect similarly or evenstronger growth profile in thesegment ROW, where segment sales are expectedto grow at a 41% CAGR to reach EUR 308m inFY'28e (eNuW).DACH serves as a blue-print (23.1% EBITDA margin in FY'24) forprofitability. North America (2.5% EBITDA margin in FY'24) and ROW (2.6%EBITDA margin in FY'24) should converge to DACH'smargin profile in thelong-run, however only after the cost intensive expansion is lesspronouncedand sufficient scale is reached.With rising group margins, improving WC dynamics and a capital-light set up,tonies transitionsever more into a cash generative company.Hence, we expect FCFs to expand from mostlynegative territory in the past toEUR 61m by FY'28e. Going forward, the upcoming CMD in Q2'26 (nodate announcedyet) should deliver further insights into its mid-term growth outlookandmanagement's planned use of future FCFs.Against this backdrop, we reiterate our BUY rating and increase ourDCF-based PT to EUR 13.00 (old: EUR 11.00) as the TB2 launch provides moreconfidence on tonies overall growth and margin trajectory.You can download the research here:https://eqs-cockpit.com/c/fncls.ssp?u=528be242fc73c68e252a52f3d021f78bFor additional information visit our website:https://www.nuways-ag.com/research-feedContact for questions:NuWays AG - Equity ResearchWeb: www.nuways-ag.comEmail: research@nuways-ag.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nuwaysagAdresse: Mittelweg 16-17, 20148 Hamburg, Germany++++++++++Diese Meldung ist keine Anlageberatung oder Aufforderung zum Abschlussbestimmter Börsengeschäfte.Offenlegung möglicher Interessenskonflikte nach § 85 WpHG beim obenanalysierten Unternehmen befinden sich in der vollständigen Analyse.++++++++++---------------------------------------------------------------------------The EQS Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements,Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.View original content:https://eqs-news.com/?origin_id=a1057bb6-d987-11f0-be29-0694d9af22cf&lang=en---------------------------------------------------------------------------2245278 15.12.2025 CET/CEST°
