It hasn’t been a good year at Everett-based Funko. The toy company had a difficult time when it moved its warehouse to Arizona. It got hit with lawsuits. The CEO stepped down. Now, it put out a second-quarter loss of 13.16%, according to“Running the business like a lean startup and investing in areas where we can grow profitably will guide and inform every decision we make,” interim CEO Michael Lunsford told investors.
Some of Funko’s key retail partners, such as Target and Walmart, have had weak sales, Bank of America analysts Robert Ohmes, Alexander Perry, and Madeline Cech told investors in July. The company said it expects less wholesale revenue this year and, as a result, lowered its full-year revenue outlook to a range of $1.09 billion to $1.12 billion from the previously forecast range of $1.19 billion to $1.26 billion.
