LUXEMBOURG, 5 February 2026 // tonies SE (“tonies”), the globally leading interactive audio platform for children, delivered a landmark year in 2025 – achieving continued strong growth and improved profitability, reaching the upper end of its full-year guidance. Despite a volatile macroeconomic environment, preliminary and unaudited results show double-digit revenue increases in all markets and a record adjusted EBITDA margin. This performance was fueled by the launch of Toniebox 2, portfolio expansion into new content categories and interactive games, as well as deeper global market penetration. Half of the annual revenue was generated in the fourth quarter, reflecting strong consumer demand and the positive impact of new product launches around key commercial events.
Tobias Wann, CEO of tonies, says: “2025 was a defining year for tonies, headlined by the successful launch of Toniebox 2. This landmark innovation has been key to our continued evolution into a global icon, proving that our platform can scale and adapt. Our record results are a direct reflection of this expanded portfolio and our deepened global reach. This performance is a testament to the power of our ever-growing ecosystem and our team's ability to execute even in a challenging macroenvironment. Looking ahead, our current momentum provides a powerful foundation for continued profitable growth in 2026.”
Hansjörg Müller, CFO of tonies, adds: “A strong fourth quarter helped us to extend tonies’ track record of profitable growth for the full year 2025. Toniebox revenues grew by more than 20% in constant currency, supported by the introduction of Toniebox 2. Landing this important device launch gives us confidence to see strong future demand for figurines. With a broader portfolio and strong contributions across all regions, we delivered at the upper end of our guidance. Despite the launch of our biggest product innovation to date, we expanded our margins, demonstrating the fundamental strength and resilience of our business.”
