CMD unboxes a global success story; PT UP

tonies held its first-ever Capital Markets Day, announcing an upbeat
mid-term margin and growth guidance, an exclusive content deal as well as a
new Toniebox. Here are the key takeaways:

* Sales to double by FY30e. Management guided for group sales of more than
EUR 1.4bn by FY30e (vs FY25 sales of EUR 630m), largely in line with our
estimates. Growth is to be driven by new market entries, new product
launches and a rising household penetration in the US. Worth
highlighting, the current installed base of Tonieboxes already provides
visibility into EUR 1-1.5bn content-driven sales during the next few
years. One Toniebox sale yields c. 20 figurine sales over 4.5 years in a
subscription-like manner.

* US still early despite near-complete distribution. US household
penetration stands at just 12%, against 58% in DACH, even though tonies
already sits across all relevant retail partners such Amazon, Walmart
and Target, which represent ~85% of the US pre-school market. Mind you,
within five years, tonies become #2 pre-school toy in the US.

* Additional market launches pending. At least two new market launches are
targeted by year-end FY27, with coverage of all major global regions by
FY30. With a toolkit of successful blueprints (e.g. Australia) as well
an already large global installed base (activated boxes in 100+
countries), we regard the chances of success as high.

* New Toniebox. tonies announced to be launching a "Toniebox lite" in the
second half of the year. With additional details expected in August, the
smaller and lighter alternative to TB2 is aimed at expanding the TAM via
a lower entry point, secondary-location/travel use cases, and
multi-device ownership within existing households.

* Margin to exceed expectations. By FY30e, tonies guides for 16-18% adj.
EBITDA margin vs 8.6% in FY25 (eNuW old: ~13%). This reflects the
natural evolution toward higher-margin attach revenue as the installed
base increases alongside improved operating leverage stemming from
structural improvements across cost of goods, fulfillment, and the
broader cost base incl. SG&A.

* Content moat widens further. Tonies announced a collaboration with BBC,
bringing Bluey to the Toniebox. For the past two consecutive years,
Bluey has been the most streamed show in the US (not just within the
pre-school category). Alongside the already-secured Pokémon exclusive
and the in-house Tonies Studio content engine (e.g. the new 'Sleepy
Friends' partnership with Carlsen), the group is expanding its content,
now covering nearly all relevant IPs.

Our take: The CMD confirms our tonies thesis. A category-defining ecosystem
with subscription-like repurchase behaviour, still-low US penetration
despite near-complete distribution, and a content engine licensors now
chase. By FY30e, the company will have transformed into a global icon with
particularly strong cash generation thanks to its capex-light set-up.

BUY with an increased EUR 18.5 PT (old: EUR 14.5) based on DCF as we raise our
mid- to long-term margin estimates by an average of 4pp. Terminal EBIT
margin is raised from 11% to 15%.
