Section 2 - Financial Information
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 15, 2011, Mattel issued a press release regarding its first quarter 2011 financial results, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. This exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.
In its first quarter 2011 press release, Mattel includes a non-GAAP financial measure, gross sales, which it uses to analyze its operations and to monitor, assess and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. Net sales, as reported in the consolidated statements of operations, include the impact of sales adjustments, such as trade discounts and other allowances. Gross sales represent sales to customers, excluding the impact of sales adjustments. Consistent with its segment reporting, Mattel presents changes in gross sales as a metric for comparing its aggregate, business unit, brand and geographic results to highlight significant trends in Mattels business. Changes in gross sales are discussed because, while Mattel records the detail of such sales adjustments in its financial accounting systems at the time of sale, such sales adjustments are generally not associated with individual products, making net sales less meaningful. A reconciliation of gross sales to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net sales, is provided in Exhibit II to the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 in this Form 8-K.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Section 8 Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
In the same press release described in Item 2.02 above, Mattel also announced that the Companys Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share on the Companys common stock, to be paid on June 17, 2011 to stockholders of record on May 25, 2011.

Financial Overview
For the quarter, net sales were $951.9 million, up 8 percent compared to $880.1 million last year, including favorable changes in currency exchange rates of 1 percentage point. On a regional basis, first quarter gross sales increased 7 percent in the U.S. and 10 percent in international markets, including favorable changes in currency exchange rates of 2 percentage points. Operating income for the quarter was $36.8 million, compared to prior years operating income for the quarter of $45.2 million.
The companys debt-to-total-capital ratio was 32.3 percent. Consistent with the seasonality of the business, during the quarter the companys cash and equivalents declined by approximately $232 million, compared with a decline of approximately $245 million in last years first quarter.
Net cash flows used for operating activities were approximately $42 million, a decrease of $203 million compared with approximately $245 million in 2010. The decrease is primarily due to the collection of $300 million of domestic receivables not factored in 2010, partially offset by higher working capital usage.
Cash flows used for financing and other activities were $181 million, a decrease of $216 million, compared to approximately $35 million provided by financing activities in 2010, primarily reflecting share repurchases and first quarter dividend payments.
Sales by Business Unit
Mattel Girls and Boys Brands
For the first quarter, worldwide gross sales for the Mattel Girls & Boys Brands business unit were $656.4 million, up 15 percent versus a year ago. Worldwide gross sales for the Barbie® brand were up 14 percent. Worldwide gross sales for Other Girls Brands were up 38 percent, driven by the Monster High® and Disney Princess doll lines.

Fisher-Price Brands
First quarter worldwide gross sales for the Fisher-Price Brands business unit, which includes the Fisher-Price® Core, Fisher-Price® Friends and Power Wheels® brands, were $309.9 million, or down 2 percent versus the prior year due primarily to the discontinuation of the Sesame Street product line.
American Girl Brands
First quarter gross sales for the American Girl Brands business unit, which offers American Girl® branded products directly to consumers, were $73.0 million, up 4 percent versus last year, primarily driven by strong sales of Kanani, Girl of the Year 2011.
Quarterly Dividend

The dividend will be payable on June 17, 2011 to stockholders of record on May 25, 2011.
