Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Playboy, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 16, 2026: 75 risks under these headings, as written.5
- Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
- Our success depends on our ability to maintain the value and reputation of the Playboy brand.
- Our businesses operate in highly competitive industries.
- The market for our physical and digital products is changing rapidly, and unless we are able to anticipate these changes and rapidly adapt, we will lose market share.
- If we are unable to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights, in particular trademarks and copyrights, our ability to compete could be negatively impacted.
- Our success depends on our ability to operate our business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property of third parties.
- Our business includes the provision of sexually explicit content which can create negative publicity, lawsuits and boycotts.
- Companies providing products and services on which we rely have refused, and may refuse in the future, to do business with us because some of our products contain adult content.
- If we are unable to advertise on certain platforms because of our brand or products, our revenue could be adversely impacted.
- We have experienced, and may continue to experience, seasonality in our revenues, which may result in volatility in our financial results.
- We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner, which could have an adverse impact on our business.
- Our use of certain tax attributes may be limited.
The other 64 risks
- We are subject to taxation related risks in multiple jurisdictions.
- We could be required to collect additional sales taxes or be subject to other tax liabilities that may increase the costs our customers would have to pay for our offering and adversely affect our operating results.
- Our digital operations are subject to systems failures and disruptions.
- Any significant disruption in or unauthorized access to our computer systems or those of third parties that we utilize in our operations, including those relating to cybersecurity or arising from cyberattacks, could result in the interruption of operations, unauthorized access, disclosure or destruction of data, including customer, employee and corporate information, or theft of intellectual property, including digital assets, which could adversely impact our business.
- We are subject to data security and privacy risks.
- Changes in how network operators handle and charge for access to data that travel across their networks could adversely impact our business.
- We are subject to payment processing risk.
- Government regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- Our variable rate debt subjects us to interest rate risk that could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.
- We are subject to risks resulting from our operations outside the U.S., and we face additional risks and challenges as we continue to expand internationally.
- We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
- Operating as a public company requires us to incur substantial costs and requires substantial management attention.
- Any expansion into new products, technologies, and geographic regions may subject us to additional risks.
- We expect to incur transaction costs in connection with our corporate transactions and strategic opportunities, which could require additional financing that may not be available to us on acceptable terms.
- We have entered into, and may enter into further, joint ventures and strategic partnerships, which could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on our partners or disputes between us and our partners.
- We may seek strategic opportunities in industries or sectors that may be outside of our management’s areas of expertise.
- Any expansion of our businesses may place a significant strain on our management, operational, financial, and other resources.
- In pursuing strategic opportunities and corporate transactions, we may incur various costs and liabilities, and we may never realize the anticipated benefits of such opportunities.
- The success of our business may depend in part on achieving our strategic objectives, including through strategic transactions, dispositions and new initiatives.
- We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of our strategic opportunities or corporate transactions or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected.
- Any future strategic opportunities or corporate transactions may not be accretive, and may be dilutive, to our earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
- Our senior secured credit agreement contains various covenants, restrictions and required financial ratios and tests that limit our operating flexibility. The violation of one or more of these covenants, ratios or tests could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
- A variety of uncontrollable events may reduce demand for our products, impair our ability to provide our products or increase the cost of providing our products.
- If we do not adequately adopt and manage our reporting and enterprise systems and processes, our ability to manage and grow our business may be adversely impacted.
- Global economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
- We have a material amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, including our trademarks and right-of-use assets, recorded on our balance sheet. As a result of changes in market conditions and declines in the estimated fair value of these assets, we have in the past, and we may in the future, be required to further write down a portion of this goodwill and other intangible assets and such write-down could, as applicable, have a material effect on our financial results.
- Additional Risks Related to Our Licensing and Direct-to-Consumer Businesses
- We utilize various licensing and selling models in our operations, and our success is dependent on our ability to manage these different models.
- Risks that impact our business as a whole may also impact the success of our direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) business.
- The agency relationship for our consumer brands licensing business may not ultimately be successful.
- Our growth will depend on our ability to attract and retain customers and subscribers, and the loss of customers or subscribers, failure to attract new customers and subscribers in a cost-effective manner, or failure to effectively manage our growth could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
- If we are unable to predict or effectively react to changes in consumer demand or shopping patterns, our sales may decline and we may write-down inventory.
- Our business depends on consumer purchases of discretionary goods and content, which can be negatively impacted during an economic downturn or periods of inflation. This could materially impact our sales, profitability and financial condition.
- A substantial portion of our licensing revenue is concentrated with a limited number of licensees and retail partners, such that the loss of a licensee or retail partner has in the past decreased, and could in the future materially decrease, our revenue and cash flows.
- Our licensing arrangements subject us to a number of risks.
- We rely on the accuracy of our licensees’ sales reports for reporting and collecting our royalty revenues, and if these reports are untimely or incorrect, our revenues could be delayed or inaccurately reported or collected.
- The failure of licensees to adequately produce, market, import and sell products bearing Playboy’s trademarks in their license categories, continue their operations, renew their license agreements or pay their obligations under their license agreements has resulted in, and could continue to result in, a decline in the results of operations of our business.
- The imposition of duties, tariffs, trade barriers and retaliatory countermeasures implemented by the U.S. and other governments, and the resulting impacts on customer demand, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- We rely on our suppliers, and the suppliers of our licensees, to comply with our terms and conditions, regulatory requirements and the quality and delivery expectations of our customers.
- Our commercial agreements, strategic alliances, and other business relationships expose us to risks.
- We may be subject to product liability claims when people or property are harmed by the products we sell.
- Our consumer business is subject to additional risks associated with our international licensees.
- Additional Risks Related to Our Content-Related Offerings
- Free content on the Internet and competition from free platforms and other social media and content-creator sites is increasing competition for our adult content products and creator platform and is changing the dynamics of the marketplace for our adult content products.
- Failure to maintain our agreements with multiple system operators (“MSOs”) and direct-to-home (“DTH”) operators on favorable terms could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- Limits on our access to satellite transponders could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- There has been a shift in consumer behavior as a result of technological innovations and changes in the distribution of content, which may affect our viewership and the profitability of our content business in unpredictable ways.
- Our digital content business involves risks of liability claims for media content, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock
- If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, Nasdaq could delist our common stock.
- Each of our Chairman, Suhail Rizvi, together with entities he controls (“RT”), our director György Gattyán, together with entities he controls (which are affiliates of Byborg), and our primary senior secured lender owns a significant percentage of our common stock, and they may effectively control our major corporate decisions, and their interests may conflict with each other’s interests and your interests as an owner of our common stock and with our interests.
- The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment.
- If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.
- Volatility in our share price could subject us to securities class action litigation.
- Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, would be your sole source of gain.
- Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
- Future sales of shares of our common stock may depress our stock price.
- You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other issuances of our shares of common stock.
- Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
- General Risk Factors
- Any inability to identify, fund investment in and commercially exploit new technology could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- We will need to generate profits or obtain additional capital to fund our operations in the future. If we are unsuccessful in generating profits or obtaining new capital, we may not be able to continue operations or may be forced to sell assets to do so. Alternatively, capital may not be available to us on favorable terms, or if at all. If available, financing terms may lead to significant dilution of our stockholders’ equity.
- We may not realize the expected financial benefits from our disposition of assets, transition of owned-and-operated businesses to licensing arrangements and/or our cost reductions, including within the anticipated timelines.
- We are subject to periodic claims and litigation that could result in unexpected expenses and could ultimately be resolved against us.
- If we are unable to attract and retain key employees and hire qualified management and personnel our ability to compete could be adversely impacted.
- Geopolitical risks, such as those associated with Russia’s war with Ukraine, war in the Middle East, other armed conflicts around the world and the imposition of tariffs, could result in a decline in the outlook for the U.S. and global economies.
Legal proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in additional legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Except for the proceedings below, we are not currently a party to any other legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
AVS Case
In March 2020, our subsidiary Playboy Enterprises International, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “PEII”) terminated its license agreement with a licensee, AVS Products, LLC (“AVS”), for AVS’s failure to make required payments to PEII under the agreement, following notice of breach and an opportunity to cure. On February 6, 2021, PEII received a letter from counsel to AVS alleging that the termination of the contract was improper, and that PEII failed to meet its contractual obligations, preventing AVS from fulfilling its obligations under the license agreement.
On February 25, 2021, PEII brought suit against AVS in Los Angeles Superior Court to prevent further unauthorized sales of Playboy-branded products and for disgorgement of unlawfully obtained funds. On March 1, 2021, PEII also brought a claim in arbitration against AVS for outstanding and unpaid license fees. PEII and AVS subsequently agreed that the claims PEII brought in arbitration would be alleged in the Los Angeles Superior Court case instead, and on April 23, 2021, the parties entered into and filed a stipulation to that effect with the court. On May 18, 2021, AVS filed a demurrer, asking for the court to remove an individual defendant and dismiss PEII’s request for a permanent injunction. On June 10, 2021, the court denied AVS’s demurrer. AVS filed an opposition to PEII’s motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin AVS from continuing to sell or market Playboy-branded products on July 2, 2021, which the court denied on July 28, 2021.
