(FNKO) Alert: Johnson Fistel Continues to Investigate Funko, Inc.; Investors Suffering Losses Encouraged to Contact Firm


SAN DIEGO, Feb. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP is investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws by Funko, Inc. (“Funko”) (NASDAQ: FNKO).

On February 5, 2020, after the markets closed, Funko reported preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019. Net sales are expected to be approximately $214 million, a decrease of 8% compared to $233 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The sales fell well below average analyst estimates of $264.29 million. On a third-quarter conference call, the Company CFO, Jennifer Jung, stated, “we are maintaining our guidance ranges, we laid out on the second quarter conference call.”

Additionally, EPS estimates for the fourth quarter are now $0.16 to $0.18, or nearly 58% - 62% below analyst estimates.  Funko, in part, blamed the earnings miss on an inventory charge, stating, “The Company will incur a one-time $16.8 million charge related to the write-down of inventory as a result of the Company’s decision to dispose of slower moving inventory to increase operational capacity.”

Following this news, the price of Funko common stock plunged over 40.03% on February 6, 2020.
