“Happy to think about how the cadence of the year will evolve. So overall, as we say, we are reiterating guidance.”
“As you well say, we just reiterated guidance, and let me start with the top line. We achieved a strong quarter and also a first half that was broadly in line with our expectations, And there remains a full half of the year ahead, where we typically sell two-thirds of the normal volume for the full year.”
“An adjusted earnings per share declined by 18 cents to a loss of 20 cents. Turning to gross billings in custom currency, total gross billings grew 2%, with Mattel's global POS up mid-single digits.”
“We just provided our outlook and guidance for the year, and we also talked about the quarter only a month ago when we provided our earnings release. So what I can tell you is that, yes, it's a small quarter, Q1 is a small quarter, and we're tracking in line with expectations in terms of the top line.”
“As you just heard, gross billings grew 6% in the fourth quarter, including 7% in North America, and POS was positive across every region, including the U.S. However, U.S. gross billings in December ended up growing less than we anticipated, impacting our full yield results relative to expectations.”
