Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) today reported 2012 second quarter financial
results. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $96.2
million, or $0.28 per share, compared to last year's second quarter net
income of $80.5 million, or $0.23 per share.
"In the second quarter, we delivered solid performance as we continued
to build momentum with key brands, such as Barbie, Monster High,
American Girl and Hot Wheels, as well as the Batman - The Dark Night
Rises property, despite a continued cautious global retail environment
and a strengthening U.S. dollar," said Bryan G. Stockton, Mattel Chief
Executive Officer. "As we look forward, we remain focused on executing
our portfolio of strong brands, countries and customers to deliver in
the all-important holiday season."
Financial Overview
For the quarter, net sales were $1.16 billion, flat compared to last
year, including an unfavorable change in currency exchange rates of 4
percentage points. On a regional basis, second quarter gross sales
increased 1% in the North American region, which consists of the U.S.,
Canada and American Girl, with no impact from changes in currency
exchange rates. For the International region, gross sales decreased 1%,
including an unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates of 10
percentage points. Operating income for the quarter was $131.4 million,
compared to prior year's operating income for the quarter of $109.3
million.
The Company's debt-to-total-capital ratio was 38.1%. For the first half
of the year, the Company's cash and equivalents declined by
approximately $997 million, compared with a decline of approximately
$863 million in last year's first half.
For the first half of the year, cash flows used for operating activities
were approximately $61 million, a decrease of $166 million compared to
approximately $227 million of cash flows used for operating activities
in the first half of 2011. The decrease is primarily due to lower
working capital usage. Cash flows used for investing activities were
approximately $816 million, an increase of $772 million, driven
primarily by the acquisition of HIT Entertainment. Cash flows used for
financing and other activities were approximately $120 million, a
decrease of $472 million, compared to approximately $592 million in
2011, primarily due to the 2011 repayments of long-term debt and lower
share repurchases.
Capital Deployment
The Company announced today that its Board of Directors declared a third
quarter cash dividend of $0.31 per share on the Company's common stock.
The dividend will be payable on Sept. 21, 2012, to stockholders of
record on Aug. 29, 2012. The dividend is the third of four quarterly
dividends the Company expects to pay this year, reflecting an annualized
dividend of $1.24 per share, which represents a 35% increase to last
year's total dividends. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company
repurchased 70,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately
$2 million.
Sales by Brand
Mattel Girls and Boys Brands
For the second quarter, worldwide gross sales for Mattel Girls & Boys
Brands were $781.6 million, down 1% versus the prior year. Worldwide
gross sales for the Barbiebrand were up 5%. Worldwide gross
sales for Other Girls Brands were up 96%, primarily driven by Monster
High®. Worldwide gross sales for the Wheels category, which
includes the Hot Wheels, Matchbox® and Tyco R/C®
brands, were up 9%, primarily driven by Hot Wheels. Worldwide gross
sales for the Entertainment business, which also includes Radica®
and Games, were down 36%, primarily driven by decreases in the CARS 2®
movie property.
Fisher-Price Brands
Second quarter worldwide gross sales for Fisher-Price Brands, which
includes the Fisher-Price Core, Fisher-Price Friends and Power Wheels®
brands, were $407.3 million, or up 2% versus the prior year, driven by
strength in Fisher-Price Friends with the addition of the HIT
Entertainment portfolio and Disney's Jake and the Never Land Pirates
property.
American Girl Brands
Second quarter gross sales for American Girl Brands, which offers
American Girl branded products directly to consumers, were $68.7
million, up 3% versus the prior year, primarily driven by strong sales
of McKenna?, the 2012 Girl of the Year.
