Kartoon Studios and Penguin Young Readers Launch New “Llama Llama” Merchandise Retail Promotional and Charitable Program at Kohl’s

First Products Launch in February 2024 with Second Promotion Planned for April 2024 in Kohl’s Stores Nationwide and Kohls.com

“Llama Llama” Adds New Consumer Products Partners

Beverly Hills, Calif., Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kartoon Studios, Inc. (NYSE American: TOON) evergreen brand “Llama Llama” partners with Penguin Young Readers and KOHL’s to launch new back-to-back nationwide retail promotions featuring book and plush products from the bestselling “Llama Llama” franchise, as part of the popular Kohl’s Cares program. Additionally, Kartoon Studios has added two new plush toy licensing partners to a growing roster, Spirit and YOTTOY, further building the brand’s U.S. merchandise program.

Based on the characters from the bestselling children’s book series by Anna Dewdney and Kartoon Studios’ popular Netflix Original preschool series, “Llama Llama,” starring Jennifer Garner, the first promotion debuted on February 1 and featured a plush toy & book set with a book from Penguin Young Readers, Llama Llama Easter Egg, attached to a plush toy from Spirit. The set retails for $9.00 for a limited time while supplies last.

The second release in April will include another book from Penguin Young Readers, Llama Llama Red Pajama, and a plush doll from YOTTOY. The products will retail separately for

$5.00 each for a limited time while supplies last.

Both promotions will be available at stores nationwide and at Kohls.com through the Kohl’s Cares collection, with 100% of Kohl’s net profit benefiting non-profit organizations that improve the health and well-being of communities nationwide.

As Kartoon Studios continues to build the “Llama Llama” brand, new licensees Spirit and YOTTOY join a growing list of licensed manufacturers who have also thrived alongside “Llama Llama.” Kids Preferred and Books To Bed, plush and pajamas partners, respectively, continue to sell both in-store and online. Prime Party’s “Llama Llama” party goods are available exclusively online, and the Toniebox from Tonies engages “Llama Llama” fans with enchanting and comforting audio storytelling.

“We began our collaboration with Kohl’s and Penguin in 2020 with our introduction of ‘Llama Llama’ into the Kohl’s Cares initiative, and we extended the partnership in 2022 as we continue to steadily grow the brand. Launching two more promotions in 2024 offers us a tremendous opportunity to continue to honor Anna Dewdney with delivering the heartwarming stories she created, along with new quality products from our recently added licensing partners Spirit and YOTTOY,” stated Lloyd Mintz, SVP Global Consumer Products at Kartoon Studios.

“We are thrilled to have ‘Llama Llama’ included in the Kohl’s Cares program twice in 2024. Their promotions do such good charitable work while giving young readers more ways to connect with their favorite character, ‘Llama Llama’,” said Margaret Anastas, VP & Publisher at Flamingo Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

About Llama Llama

Based on the award-winning and bestselling book series by celebrated author and illustrator Anna Dewdney, “Llama Llama” is about first childhood experiences and adventures, as well as the special connections between the lead character, Llama, his Mama and his

Kartoon Studios’ Netflix Original preschool series “Llama Llama” stars Jennifer Garner, voicing the lead role as Mama Llama, and tells heart-warming tales of life in a safe, friendly town seen through the eyes of Llama as he interacts with the amazing world around him. Seasons one and two of the series are available on Netflix.

With over 35 million units in print worldwide, Dewdney’s “Llama Llama” books from Penguin Young Readers have all been New York Times bestsellers with several titles claiming the #1 spot, and her work has been translated into eight languages. Dewdney’s soothing tales are synonymous with calming early-childhood anxiety, and she was praised by the Chicago Tribune as a “geographer extraordinaire of the emotional terrain of preschoolers and their mothers.” Books in her “Llama Llama” series include Llama Llama Red Pajama, Llama Llama Holiday Drama, Llama Llama Misses Mama, and Llama Llama Time to Share.

Kartoon Channel! Achieves Record Revenue, Subscriber Growth, and Global Coverage

Kartoon Channel! U.S. Paid Subscribers Increased in 2023, with New Trials More Than Doubling in Q4

Kartoon Channel! International Market Penetration Increases with Dedicated Channels in 61 Territories and Branded Blocks Across Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, Reaching a Combined Population of Nearly 1.8 Billion

Kartoon Channel!’s Apple App Store User Rating Beats All Major Competitors, Including Netflix, Disney+, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kartoon Studios, Inc. NYSE American: TOON) today announced its streaming service business, which premiered in June 2020, has achieved record revenue, increased its paid subscribers, expanded its international market coverage and reached break-even EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Kartoon Channel! has steadily grown to become a pre-eminent children’s entertainment destination that delivers thousands of episodes of carefully curated, and family-friendly content. In 2023, paid subscribers increased 19% over 2022, in contrast to a number of streaming services that have been experiencing declines. Importantly, free trials, a leading indicator for future growth, more than doubled in Q4 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Kartoon Studios’ streaming business recently hit break-even for the latest quarter, a notable accomplishment among streaming services, many of which have struggled with losses. In addition, the Company has successfully reduced its customer acquisition costs by 50% from the first half to the second half of 2023, driving bigger margins through improved media efficiency and a successful content strategy.

Kartoon Studios CEO, Andy Heyward stated, “In 3½ years, the growth of the Kartoon Studios’ streaming business in the U.S. and globally has been impressive. Even Netflix took many years to reach break-even. We challenged our leadership to learn from its practices and to surpass it. Not only have we already reached EBITDA break-even, but we are now experiencing solid growth, as we see consumers responding to the Kartoon Channel!’s brand of age-appropriate children’s content and the easy to navigate interface.”

Heyward continues: “We attribute the growth to the quality of the curated content, and most importantly to the leadership of the management of the channels, led domestically, by Toon Media Networks’ President Todd Steinman, and internationally by President of Kartoon Channel! Worldwide Paul Robinson, former Managing Director of Disney Channel Worldwide. I feel we have some of the brightest and most talented executives in the global content distribution and OTT/Streaming business. Combining expanding market reach, growing revenue, and quality of service based on our Apple app store user ratings, we believe our streaming services will be an important component of Kartoon Studios’ growth strategy for years to come.”

In the Apple app store, Kartoon Channel! continues to sustain a top rating, 4.9 out of 5 stars, outperforming major competitors, including Netflix, YouTube Kids, and Disney+.

Kartoon Channel! has firmly established itself as a top-tier entertainment destination for children, featuring content such as Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten, Rainbow Rangers, Peppa Pig Shorts, Barney, Kidaverse Roblox Rumble, Llama Llama, Super Simple Songs, Melodee’s, Finny the Shark, Angry Birds, Yu-Gi-Oh! and more. The service has reached nearly 100% penetration of U.S. television households and is available across a broad range of platforms, including iOS, Android Mobile, Web, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire, Roku, Tubi, Pluto TV, Xumo, Comcast, Cox, Dish, Sling TV, Samsung and LG Smart TVs.

Todd Steinman, President of Toon Media Networks, who oversees the Company’s Kartoon Channel!, Ameba, and Frederator Networks, stated, “We are humbled by the positive feedback our services are receiving in the market from both children and parents. This is best evidenced by our subscriber growth and the significant increase in new trials.”

Internationally, Kartoon Channel is poised to increase market penetration. Concurrently, Kartoon Channel! branded blocks are available daily across Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Kartoon Channel! is currently available in Africa and Sub-Sahara Africa (StarTimes), India (Jio), Australia and New Zealand (Samsung TV Plus), Germany (Waipu),

Philippines (Tap TV), Malaysia (Astro), Vietnam (BHD Cineplex), Indonesia (Linknet), United Arab Emirates (Etisalat), Mongolia (Mobinet), and Maldives (SSNet).

Paul Robinson, President of Kartoon Channel! & Head of International Distribution, concluded: “We continue to expand our international footprint with new Kartoon Channel! launches. We have ambitious plans for the first half of 2024, which includes expansion into new territories that we anticipate would bring our reach to a combined population of over 1.8 billion people. The high-quality original productions, brand name titles and movies appeal to parents, caregivers and children across different continents and cultures, and we could not be more excited about the international growth of the business.”
