TB2 boxes out the bears; chg. est & PT
During Q3 '25, Tonies launched the Toniebox 2 (TB2), marking its most
significant innovation sincethe original Toniebox (TB1) in 2016. With this
report, we highlight how TB2 secures additional growthpotential to this
already upbeat investment case:
The TB2 effectively substantiialy increases the adressable market to 1-9
year 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 or
older.Besides that, notable hardware upgrades, further content partnerships
and likely higher usernumbers, should lay the foundation for a strong
demand, which is visible already.
Unmatched competitive position. Being the first mover and effectively the
inventor of a completelynew toy category has turned tonies into the category
leader of screen-free entertainment for kidswith the largest customer base
worldwide. tonies unique ecosystem creates strong lock-in effects , where
kids want to expand their beloved figurines collection that leads to higher
engagementrates. On the partner side, tonies is the go-to content platform
for global licensors (e.g. Disney,PawPatrol, Hasbro, Pokémon), given its
large worldwide installed base and broad reach.
Next to growth from product innovations, tonies has ample growth from
internationalization 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 expanding
visibility at their stores aswell as strong customer awareness due to an
exceptionally high NPS of 77. Next to the US andDACH, tonies'
data-driven approach allows it to make expansion decisions based on
alreadyknown customer insights. Therefore, we expect similarly or even
stronger growth profile in thesegment ROW, where segment sales are expected
to 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) for
profitability. 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 the
long-run, however only after the cost intensive expansion is less
pronouncedand 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 to
EUR 61m by FY'28e. Going forward, the upcoming CMD in Q2'26 (nodate announced
yet) should deliver further insights into its mid-term growth outlook
andmanagement's planned use of future FCFs.
Against this backdrop, we reiterate our BUY rating and increase our
DCF-based PT to EUR 13.00 (old: EUR 11.00) as the TB2 launch provides more
confidence on tonies overall growth and margin trajectory.
