Mattel bosses have hailed the company’s fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial results as ‘its best performance in years,’ having beaten all expectations to see Q4 net sales up ten per cent and full year sales increase by 2 per cent to hit $4,584 million.
Sales of the company’s fashion doll brand, Barbie, as well as the continued popularity of Hot Wheels in the Vehicles sector, and Mattel’s portfolio of games fueled much of the fourth quarter success for the company across both its domestic North American and international markets.
Q4 net sales in the North America segment increased 13 per cent, primarily driven by growth across Dolls, Infant, Toddler, and Pre-school, Action Figures, Games and Other. Meanwhile, net sales in the international segment saw a lift of seven per cent.
