EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Jul. 26, 2023 – Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) today reported second
quarter 2023 financial results.
Ynon Kreiz, Chairman and CEO of Mattel, said: “Mattel’s second quarter financial results were
in-line with our expectations. We significantly increased free cash flow and continued to gain
market share. Importantly, this moment will be remembered as a key milestone in our
company’s history with the release of the Barbie movie, our first ever major theatrical film.”
Mr. Kreiz continued: “The Barbie movie is a showcase for the cultural resonance of our IP, our
ability to attract and collaborate with top creative talent, and the capabilities of our franchise
management organization. This also speaks to the potential of Mattel Films and the significant
progress of our strategy to capture the full value of our IP.”
Anthony DiSilvestro, CFO of Mattel, added: “While comparisons improved from the first quarter,
our second quarter financial results were negatively impacted as retailers continued to manage
inventory levels and by some overall industry softness. At this point, we believe the retail
inventory correction is mostly behind us, and we look forward to meeting consumer demand for
our product, as we enter the second half of the year and all-important holiday season. Given our
year-to-date performance and outlook for the balance of the year, we are reiterating our
guidance.”
Financial Overview
For the second quarter, Net Sales were down 12% as reported, or 13% in constant currency,
versus the prior year’s second quarter. Reported Operating Income was $63 million, a decrease
of $62 million, and Adjusted Operating Income was $75 million, a decrease of $47 million.
Reported Earnings Per Share were $0.08, compared to prior year Reported Earnings Per Share
of $0.18, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share were $0.10, compared to prior year Adjusted
Earnings Per Share of $0.18.
For the first six months of the year, Net Sales declined 16% as reported, and 17% in constant
currency, versus the prior year’s first six months. Reported Operating Loss was $52 million, a
decline of $257 million, and Adjusted Operating Loss was $12 million, a decrease of $224
million. Reported Loss Per Share was $0.22, a decline of $0.46, and Adjusted Loss Per Share
was $0.14, a decline of $0.40.
Net Sales in the North America segment decreased 18% as reported and in constant currency,
versus the prior year’s second quarter.
Gross Billings in the North America segment decreased 18% as reported and in constant
currency, due to declines in Action Figures, Building Sets, Games, and Other (primarily Action
Figures), Infant, Toddler, and Preschool (including Fisher-Price®), and Vehicles (including Hot
Wheels®), partially offset by growth in Dolls.
Net Sales in the American Girl® segment decreased 16% as reported and in constant currency.
Gross Billings in the American Girl segment decreased 15% as reported and in constant
currency.
Reported Gross Margin increased to 45.1%, versus 44.4% in the prior year’s second quarter,
and Adjusted Gross Margin of 44.9% was flat versus the prior year. The increase in Reported
Gross Margin was primarily driven by pricing, savings from the Optimizing for Growth program,
foreign exchange favorability and lower severance and restructuring expenses, partially offset
by cost inflation, unfavorable fixed cost absorption, inventory management efforts, including
higher close-out sales and obsolescence, and mix and other factors.
Reported Other Selling and Administrative Expenses increased $3 million, to $337 million,
primarily due to the gain on a sale of assets recognized in the second quarter of 2022, market-
related pay increases, and higher severance and restructuring expenses, partially offset by cost
management efforts and savings from the Optimizing for Growth program. Adjusted Other
Selling and Administrative Expenses decreased $19 million, to $324 million, primarily driven by
cost management efforts and savings from the Optimizing for Growth program, partially offset
by market-related pay increases.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cash Flows Used for Operating Activities were $326
million, an improvement of $99 million, versus the prior year’s first six months, primarily due to
lower working capital usage, partially offset by changes in net earnings, excluding the impact of
non-cash items. Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities were $62 million, an increase of $8
million, primarily due to lower proceeds from the sale of assets, partially offset by higher net
proceeds from foreign currency forward contracts in the first half of 2023. Cash Flows Used for
Financing Activities and Other were $74 million, as compared to cash inflows of $22 million in
the prior year’s first six months, primarily due to share repurchases and lower proceeds from the
exercise of stock options.
For the second quarter, worldwide Gross Billings for Dolls were $441 million, up 10% as
reported, or 9% in constant currency, versus the prior year, primarily driven by Disney Princess
and Disney Frozen, and Monster High, partially offset by a decline in Barbie.
Worldwide Gross Billings for Infant, Toddler, and Preschool were $197 million, down 28% as
reported, or 29% in constant currency, primarily due to declines in Fisher-Price.
Worldwide Gross Billings for Vehicles were $364 million, up 11% as reported, or 10% in
constant currency, primarily driven by growth in Hot Wheels.
Worldwide Gross Billings for Action Figures, Building Sets, Games, and Other were $226
million, down 39% as reported, or 40% in constant currency, primarily due to declines in Action
Figures (primarily related to 2022 theatrical releases) and Other.

Mattel cautions the reader that this press release contains a number of forward-looking
statements, which are statements that relate to the future and are, by their nature, uncertain.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts and include statements regarding Mattel’s guidance and goals for
future periods and other future events. The use of words such as “anticipates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “look forward,” “confident that,” “believes,” and “targeted,” among
others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
based on currently available operating, financial, economic, and other information and
assumptions, and are subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties. A variety of
factors, many of which are beyond Mattel’s control, could cause actual future results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Specific factors that might
cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) Mattel’s ability to design, develop,
produce, manufacture, source, ship, and distribute products on a timely and cost-effective basis;
(ii) sufficient interest in and demand for the products and entertainment Mattel offers by retail
customers and consumers to profitably recover Mattel’s costs; (iii) downturns in economic
conditions affecting Mattel’s markets which can negatively impact retail customers and
consumers, and which can result in lower employment levels and lower consumer disposable
income and spending, including lower spending on purchases of Mattel’s products; (iv) other
factors which can lower discretionary consumer spending, such as higher costs for fuel and
food, drops in the value of homes or other consumer assets, and high levels of consumer debt;
(v) potential difficulties or delays Mattel may experience in implementing cost savings and
efficiency enhancing initiatives; (vi) other economic and public health conditions or regulatory
changes in the markets in which Mattel and its customers and suppliers operate, which could
create delays or increase Mattel’s costs, such as higher commodity prices, labor costs or
transportation costs, or outbreaks of disease; (vii) the effect of inflation on Mattel’s business,
including cost inflation in supply chain inputs and increased labor costs, as well as pricing
actions taken in an effort to mitigate the effects of inflation; (viii) currency fluctuations, including
movements in foreign exchange rates, which can lower Mattel’s net revenues and earnings, and
significantly impact Mattel’s costs; (ix) the concentration of Mattel’s customers, potentially
increasing the negative impact to Mattel of difficulties experienced by any of Mattel’s customers,
such as bankruptcies or liquidations or a general lack of success, or changes in their purchasing
or selling patterns; (x) the inventory policies of Mattel’s retail customers, as well as the
concentration of Mattel’s revenues in the second half of the year, which coupled with reliance by
retailers on quick response inventory management techniques, increases the risk of
underproduction, overproduction , and shipping delays; (xi) legal, reputational, and financial
risks related to security breaches or cyberattacks; (xii) work disruptions, including as a result of
supply chain disruption such as plant or port closures, which may impact Mattel’s ability to
manufacture or deliver product in a timely and cost-effective manner; (xiii) the impact of
competition on revenues, margins, and other aspects of Mattel’s business, including the ability
to offer products that consumers choose to buy instead of competitive products, the ability to
secure, maintain, and renew popular licenses from licensors of entertainment properties, and
the ability to attract and retain talented employees and adapt to evolving workplace models;
(xiv) the risk of product recalls or product liability suits and costs associated with product safety
regulations; (xv) changes in laws or regulations in the United States and/or in other major
markets, such as China, in which Mattel operates, including, without limitation, with respect to
taxes, tariffs, trade policies, or product safety, which may increase Mattel’s product costs and
other costs of doing business, and reduce Mattel’s earnings and liquidity; (xvi) business
disruptions or other unforeseen impacts due to economic instability, political instability, civil
unrest, armed hostilities (including the impact of the war in Ukraine), natural and manmade
disasters, pandemics or other public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or other
catastrophic events; (xvii) failure to realize the planned benefits from any investments or
acquisitions made by Mattel; (xviii) the impact of other market conditions or third party actions or
approvals, including those that result in any significant failure, inadequacy, or interruption from
vendors or outsourcers, which could reduce demand for Mattel’s products, delay or increase
the cost of implementation of Mattel’s programs, or alter Mattel’s actions and reduce actual
results; (xix) changes in financing markets or the inability of Mattel to obtain financing on
attractive terms; (xx) the impact of litigation, arbitration, or regulatory decisions or settlement
actions; (xxi) Mattel’s ability to navigate regulatory frameworks in connection with new areas of
investment, product development, or other business activities, such as non-fungible tokens and
cryptocurrency; and (xxii) other risks and uncertainties as may be described in Mattel’s filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the “Risk Factors” section of Mattel’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent
periodic filings, as well as in Mattel’s other public statements. Mattel does not update forward-
looking statements and expressly disclaims any obligation to do so, except as required by law.
The financial results included herein represent the most current information available to
management and are preliminary until Mattel’s Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC. Actual results
may differ from these preliminary results.
This earnings release and our earnings slide presentation are available on Mattel's Investor
Relations website, https://investors.mattel.com/, under the subheading “Financial Information –
Quarterly Earnings.”
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin represent reported Gross Profit and reported
Gross Margin, respectively, adjusted to exclude severance and restructuring expenses.
Adjusted Gross Margin represents Mattel’s Adjusted Gross Profit, as a percentage of Net Sales.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are presented to provide additional
perspective on underlying trends in Mattel’s core Gross Profit and Gross Margin, which Mattel
believes is useful supplemental information for investors to be able to gauge and compare
Mattel’s current business performance from one period to another.
Adjusted Other Selling and Administrative Expenses represents Mattel’s reported Other Selling
and Administrative Expenses, adjusted to exclude severance and restructuring expenses, the
impact of the inclined sleeper product recalls, and the impact of sale of assets, which are not
part of Mattel’s core business. Adjusted Other Selling and Administrative Expenses is presented
to provide additional perspective on underlying trends in Mattel’s core other selling and
administrative expenses, which Mattel believes is useful supplemental information for investors
to be able to gauge and compare Mattel’s current business performance from one period to
another.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) Margin
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) Margin represent
reported Operating Income (Loss) and reported Operating Income (Loss) Margin, respectively,
adjusted to exclude severance and restructuring expenses, the impact of the inclined sleeper
product recalls, and the impact of sale of assets, which are not part of Mattel’s core business.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) Margin represents Mattel’s Adjusted Operating Income
(Loss), as a percentage of Net Sales. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted
Operating Income (Loss) Margin are presented to provide additional perspective on underlying
trends in Mattel’s core operating results, which Mattel believes is useful supplemental
information for investors to be able to gauge and compare Mattel’s current business
performance from one period to another.
EBITDA represents Mattel’s Net Income (Loss), adjusted to exclude the impact of interest
expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted
to exclude share-based compensation, severance and restructuring expenses, the impact of the
inclined sleeper product recalls, and the impact of sale of assets/business, which are not part of
Mattel’s core business. Mattel believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental
information for investors to gauge and compare Mattel’s business performance to other
companies in its industry with similar capital structures. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA
differs from how Mattel calculates EBITDA for purposes of covenant compliance under the
indentures governing its high yield senior notes and the syndicated facility agreement governing
its senior secured revolving credit facilities. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in the
growth of Mattel’s business. As a result, Mattel relies primarily on its GAAP results and uses
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
Free Cash Flow represents Mattel’s net cash flows from operating activities less capital
expenditures. Free Cash Flow Conversion represents Mattel’s free cash flow divided by
Adjusted EBITDA. Mattel believes Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion are useful
supplemental information for investors to gauge Mattel’s liquidity and performance and to
compare Mattel’s business performance to other companies in our industry. Free Cash Flow
does not represent cash available to Mattel for discretionary expenditures.
The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Total Debt by Adjusted EBITDA. Total Debt
represents the aggregate of Mattel’s current portion of long-term debt, short-term borrowings,
and long-term debt, excluding the impact of debt issuance costs and debt discount. Mattel
believes the leverage ratio is useful supplemental information for investors to gauge trends in
Mattel’s business and to compare Mattel’s business performance to other companies in its
industry.
Net Debt
Net Debt represents the aggregate of Mattel’s current portion of long-term debt, short-term
borrowings, and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Mattel believes Net Debt is
useful supplemental information for investors to monitor Mattel’s liquidity and evaluate its
balance sheet.
Constant Currency
Percentage changes in results expressed in constant currency are presented excluding the
impact from changes in currency exchange rates. To present this information, Mattel calculates
constant currency information by translating current period and prior period results for entities
reporting in currencies other than the US dollar using consistent exchange rates. The constant
currency exchange rates are determined by Mattel at the beginning of each year and are
applied consistently during the year. They are generally different from the actual exchange rates
in effect during the current or prior period due to volatility in actual foreign exchange rates.
Mattel considers whether any changes to the constant currency rates are appropriate at the
beginning of each year. The exchange rates used for these constant currency calculations are
generally based on prior year actual exchange rates. The difference between the current period
and prior period results using the consistent exchange rates reflects the changes in the
underlying performance results, excluding the impact from changes in currency exchange rates.
Mattel analyzes constant currency results to provide additional perspective on changes in
underlying trends in Mattel’s operating performance. Mattel believes that the disclosure of the
percentage change in constant currency is useful supplemental information for investors to be
able to gauge Mattel’s current business performance and the longer-term strength of its overall
business since foreign currency changes could potentially mask underlying sales trends. The
disclosure of the percentage change in constant currency enhances investor’s ability to
compare financial results from one period to another.
Gross Billings
Gross Billings represent amounts invoiced to customers. It does not include the impact of sales
adjustments, such as trade discounts and other allowances. Mattel presents changes in gross
billings as a metric for comparing its aggregate, categorical, brand, and geographic results to
highlight significant trends in Mattel’s business. Changes in Gross Billings are discussed
because, while Mattel records the details of such sales adjustments in its financial accounting
systems at the time of sale, such sales adjustments are generally not associated with
categories, brands, and individual products.
