Funko, Inc. (FNKO) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose material facts regarding Funko's business, operations, and prospects. According to the complaint, while promoting the demand for Funko's products and representing that it properly accounted for inventory, Defendants concealed that (1) Funko was experiencing lower than expected sales, and (2) as a result, Funko was reasonably likely to incur a write-down for slower moving inventory.

The market began to learn the truth on Feb. 5, 2020 when, after the market closed, Funko announced disappointing preliminary Q4 2019 results, including net sales of $214 million, an 8% year-over-year decrease. Management blamed these poor results in part on a $16.8 million charge to write down slow-moving inventory. On this news, Funko's share price fell $6.20, or 40%.

Then, on Mar. 5, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing its Q4 2019 and full year 2019 financial results. Therein, Funko affirmed that net sales for fourth-quarter had decreased to $213.6 million due to, among other things, "softness at retail during the holiday season, which led to a decrease in orders." On this news, Funko's share price fell another $0.32, or nearly 5%.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving that Funko misstated demand and inflated the value of its inventory," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
