Spin Master reports second quarter net loss of US$46.5 million
The Toronto-based children's entertainment company, which reports in U.S. dollars, says it lost US$46.5 million in the second quarter, compared with a loss of US$24.5 million in the same quarter last year.
On an adjusted basis, the company said it lost US$7.4 million, or seven cents per diluted share in the quarter, compared with a US$9.6 million adjusted profit, or nine cents per share, in the period last year.
Revenue totalled US$400.7 million, compared to US$412 million in the same quarter last year.
Chief executive Christina Miller says in a statement that revenue was down as the company experienced a shift in retailer ordering patterns driven by global tariffs, while double-digit growth in its digital games segment helped offset some of the pressure.
Miller says the company is working to focus on accelerating innovation and scaling its global franchise brands to help navigate the wider economic headwinds.

Air Canada-CUPE Negotiations End in Impasse
TORONTO — Negotiations between CUPE and Air Canada have ended in impasse. Article content Air Canada still refuses to compensate flight attendants for all hours worked. Article content The union has been firm: all safety-related duties should be paid at full hourly rate. Air Canada does not agree. Article content On wages, Air Canada's last offer will still leave flight attendants living below poverty levels for many years to come. Article content We are heartbroken for our passengers. We do not want to go on strike, and we do not want to be locked out, but it is clear that Air Canada has no incentive to bargain. Article content Rather, Air Canada has refused to bargain in good faith due to the likelihood of the federal government using Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to interfere in negotiations and have a contract imposed by an outside third-party arbitrator.

Air Canada flight attendants walk off the job as strike begins
More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants went on strike as of 12:58 a.m. ET Saturday, after the airline and the union representing them failed to reach a deal ahead of the deadline. The Canada Union of Public Employees, or CUPE, gave a 72-hour strike notice on Wednesday after midnight. Air Canada responded shortly after by saying it would lock out workers, and began winding down operations on Thursday with a gradual suspension of flights. With a work stoppage now in effect, Air Canada estimates that 130,000 customers will be affected each day of a strike, a figure that includes 25,000 Canadian travellers who are abroad. The strike began after talks between CUPE and Air Canada reached an impasse, with wages and ground pay — which compensates flight attendants for work while the plane is grounded — among the key sticking points keeping the parties from reaching a deal. Earlier this week, Air Canada formally proposed to CUPE that the parties use binding arbitration to negotiate the renewal of a 10-year collective agreement that expired in March. CUPE declined to use arbitration, a process that would have an arbitrator render a decision about specific items the parties can't agree on. CUPE has maintained it wants to stay at the negotiating table and have the two sides come to an agreement themselves. Air Canada asked federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu to make a referral under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to send the negotiations to binding interest arbitration. Hajdu gave CUPE until noon on Friday to respond, and they declined.
