MATTEL SEES FOURTH QUARTER SALES INCREASE OF 35%,
WILL REPORT RECORD RESULTS DESPITE DEVALUATION OF MEXICAN PESO
--------------------------------------------------------------
LOS ANGELES, January 4 -- Mattel, Inc. today said that the
company had an excellent holiday selling season, with worldwide
sales for the 1994 fourth quarter increasing by 35 percent versus
1993.
A spokesman said that the company's strong fourth quarter
performance will minimize the impact of devaluation of the
Mexican Peso, estimated to be $.08 per share, and enable Mattel
to report record year-end earnings at the conservative end of the
range of analysts' current estimates.
Mattel, Inc. is a worldwide leader in the design,
manufacture and marketing of children's toys. With headquarters
in El Segundo, California, Mattel has offices and facilities in
34 foreign countries and sells its products in more than 140
nations throughout the world.
