WildBrain releases transcript of fiscal 2026 Q3 earnings call
  • WildBrain’s fiscal 2026 Q3 earnings call drew CEO Josh Scherba, CFO Nick Gawne, VP of IR Kathleen Persaud.
  • Revenue from Continuing Operations fell 16% to CAD 61 million, with Global Licensing up 35% to CAD 25 million offset by a 33% drop in Content Creation and Audience Engagement to CAD 36 million on production timing and weaker digital-platform revenue tied to partner mix.
  • Gross margin rose to 46% from 33% on a shift toward higher-margin licensing, while WildBrain EBITDA from Continuing Operations increased 38% to CAD 6 million.
  • The Peanuts sale closed March 2, generating preliminary net proceeds of about CAD 48 million, used to fully repay the Senior Secured Credit Facility; management also cited an April NCIB launch with more than 600,000 shares repurchased.
  • Management maintained its pause on fiscal 2026 guidance, flagged a segment reporting overhaul starting in Q4, targeted technology-led SG&A reductions with a “big impact” expected in fiscal 2028, and pointed to a stronger fiscal 2027 production slate including a second season of Netflix’s Finding Her Edge.
