Lexibook

What Lexibook does

Lexibook is a French family-owned consumer electronics company, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Les Ulis, France, that designs, manufactures, and markets licensed electronic toys and leisure products for children. The company's portfolio spans children's tablets, edutainment robots (PowerMan, interactive Mickey robot), mobile karaoke systems (IParty), radio-controlled vehicles (Crosslander), electronic games (chess, hangman), digital cameras, voice translators, and educational computers, all distributed predominantly through its own DTC e-commerce platform lexibook.com and the Lexibook Club loyalty program. The company is publicly listed on Euronext Growth Paris (ticker FR0000033599 / ALLEX), has 51-100 employees, and is co-founded and led by CEO Aymeric Cottier.

The core commercial engine is licensed character IP. Lexibook holds long-standing agreements with Disney (Lilo & Stitch, Mickey, Frozen, Avengers, Minions), Marvel (since 2004), Warner Bros (Harry Potter, Batman since 2021), Mattel (Barbie since 2003), Nintendo (Super Mario), and Nickelodeon/Viacom (Paw Patrol, Babyshark), accumulating 200+ trademarks. The Stitch license alone represents approximately 36% of total sales, illustrating both the leverage and concentration of the IP-driven model. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales at retail prices, with gross margins of 63.9% in FY2025-2026.

In FY2025-2026 (ending March 31, 2026), Lexibook reported €80.0M in revenue (+8.1% YoY), €9.9M EBITDA, and €7.1M net profit. The company is currently subject to a simplified public tender offer from Doodle SAS at €8.00 per share, following Doodle's accumulation of an 88.04% stake, which is expected to result in delisting. Geographic operations span Europe (primary), Asia (Hong Kong), and South America (Brazil), with 1998 acquisitions of ITMC (France) and Space Toys (Hong Kong) providing the foundation for European product development and Asian sourcing.
