CORRECTION
 
In the news release, “Mattel (NYSE: MAT) Reports 2002 Third Quarter Results,” issued earlier today by Mattel, Inc. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the sixth paragraph, third sentence, should read “The Entertainment category experienced a worldwide sales increase of 10 percent” rather than “The Entertainment category experienced a worldwide sales increase of 21 percent” as originally issued. This error, which was clerical in nature, pertains only to the calculation of this particular percentage and is not material. It has no effect upon any of the other information set forth in the release or the exhibits to the release, including sales data, gross margin, operating income and earnings per share.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 17, 2002—Mattel, Inc. (NYSE:MAT) today reported 2002 third quarter financial results. For the quarter, excluding non-recurring charges, income was $256.7 million, or $0.58 per share, versus last year’s income of $216.7 million, or $0.50 per share excluding goodwill amortization. The company reported GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net income, including non-recurring charges, of $280.6 million, or $0.63 per share, compared to last year’s net income of $199.8 million, or $0.46 per share. Included in the GAAP results for the quarter is a $27.3 million after-tax gain from discontinued operations related to Gores Technology Group’s sale of certain operating divisions of The Learning Company, in which Mattel has a contractual right to share.

 
For the quarter, net sales were $1.67 billion, a 6 percent increase from $1.58 billion last year. Operating income, excluding charges, was up 12 percent at $379.2 million. On a regional basis, third quarter gross sales increased 2 percent in the U.S. In international markets, quarterly gross sales were up 17 percent, or 15 percent in local currency.
 
“We are pleased with the performance across all areas of the business — our core brands are growing, margins are expanding, the balance sheet continues to show improvement and our cash flow is strong,” said Robert A. Eckert, chairman and chief executive officer of Mattel. “As I’ve said before, while we are focused on the long term, there will be bumps along the way. The current disruption caused by the West Coast port dispute, coupled with an uncertain retail environment, presents near-term challenges, which we are working to overcome.”
 
The company’s long-term guidance remains unchanged with revenues expected to grow moderately in the mid-single-digit range and EPS growth to be in the low double-digits at the low end of the range to mid-teens at the high end of the range over the planning horizon.
 
Girls
 
The Girls division achieved worldwide gross sales of $727.6 million, an increase of 2 percent with performance driven by international growth in the Barbie® brand, as well as growth in the Polly Pocket!® and American Girl® brands. This growth was partially offset by declines in the large doll category, which includes the discontinuation of the Cabbage Patch Kids® line. International sales of Barbie® increased double-digits while domestic sales declined slightly, consistent with the company’s continued strategy to reduce shipments of adult-targeted collector and holiday dolls.
 
Boys-Entertainment
 
Worldwide gross sales for the Boys-Entertainment division, which consists of the Wheels and Entertainment categories, were up 9 percent at $461.8 million. The Wheels category experienced an 8 percent increase in worldwide sales driven primarily by strong international sales. The Entertainment category experienced a worldwide sales increase of 10 percent with strong sales of the newly launched He-Man® and Masters of the Universe®, Yu-Gi-Oh!™ and SpongeBob™ SquarePants lines.
 
Infant and Preschool
 
Worldwide gross sales for the Infant and Preschool division, which includes the Fisher-Price®, Sesame Street® and Disney brands, were $629.5 million, up 9 percent. Worldwide sales of the core Fisher-Price brand increased 23 percent, bolstered by strong sales in the Rescue Heroes™, Baby Gear™ and newly launched Imaginext™ lines, more than offsetting declines in the character brands business.

Financial Realignment
 
Mattel recorded pre-tax charges of $5.5 million in the quarter as part of its $250 million financial realignment plan. The third quarter charges are largely related to the closure of its North American distribution and manufacturing facilities and streamlining back office functions. These charges are included in Cost of Sales ($0.9 million), Other Selling and Administrative Expenses ($2.3 million) and Other Income, Net ($2.3 million) in the consolidated statement of operations. Since the announcement of the plan in September 2000, Mattel has recorded $216.5 million in pre-tax charges. The company is on target to deliver initial cumulative cost savings of approximately $200 million from the financial realignment plan by year-end 2003.
