LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

(“Mattel” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MAT) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Mattel made false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose adverse information, about its business and prospects, which kept its stock price artificially inflated. Specifically, the Company’s retail customers had high levels of unsold Mattel products, thus exposing the Company to the heightened risk that it would have to issue its retailers financial concessions to remove the excess inventory, and that it would experience slower sales growth in future periods. On April 20, 2017, after market close, Mattel announced its first quarter 2017 financial results, reporting declines for its worldwide net sales and gross margins on a year-over-year basis, and an increase of more than 158% in its operating loss. These results were well below Wall Street consensus estimates. Following this news, Mattel’s stock price dropped materially, which caused investors harm.
