Jakks Pacific Inc Company Profile

We are a leading multi-line, multi-brand toy company that designs, produces, markets and distributes toys and related products, pet toys, consumables and related products, electronics and related products, kids indoor and outdoor furniture, and other consumer products. We focus our business on acquiring or licensing well-recognized trademarks and brand names, most with long product histories (“evergreen brands”). We seek to acquire these evergreen brands because we believe they are less subject to market fads or trends. We also develop proprietary products marketed under our own trademarks and brand names, and have historically acquired complementary businesses to further grow our portfolio. For accounting purposes, our products can be divided into two segments: (i) traditional toys and electronics and (ii) role play, novelty and seasonal toys.

Traditional Toys and Electronics

Junior sports and outdoor activity toys including Skyball® hyper-charged balls and sport sets and Wave Hoops® toy hoops marketed under our Maui Toys brand.


We continually review the marketplace to identify and evaluate popular and evergreen brands and product categories that we believe have the potential for growth. We endeavor to generate growth within these lines by:


creating innovative products under our established licenses and brand names;


adding new items to the branded product lines that we expect will enjoy greater popularity;


infusing innovation and technology when appropriate to make them more appealing to today’s kids; and


focusing our marketing efforts to enhance consumer recognition and retailer interest.

In addition to developing our own proprietary brands and marks, licensing popular trademarks enables us to use these high-profile marks at a lower cost than we would incur if we purchased these marks or developed comparable marks on our own. By licensing trademarks, we have access to a far greater range of marks than would be available for purchase. We also license technology developed by unaffiliated inventors and product developers to enhance the design and functionality of our products.
