Robert Eckert Quarter Quotations

We expect the year to continue to be challenging and have implemented price increases effective in the second quarter for the U.S..

One quarter of a little domestic growth is not all we need, but it's clearly better than another quarter of decline.

Third quarter results are disappointing as sales increases in much of our portfolio were offset by declines in the Barbie brand,

Led by growth in our core brands including Barbie, Fisher-Price and Hot Wheels, Mattel has experienced increased sales domestically for the third quarter in a row,

We've been working hard on Barbie, and we do feel better about Barbie, but we're not out of the woods yet. It's clearly better than another quarter of decline.
