NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is investigating potential claims

engaged in other unlawful business practices.

On February 7, 2018, Mattel released its fourth quarter 2018 earnings, beating analyst expectations and sales
predictions. On an investor conference call, CEO Ynon Kreiz stated “2018 was a great year for Barbie, which sustained growth
and continued momentum globally. . . . We look forward to celebrating her 60th anniversary throughout 2019.”
On February 15, 2019 during an analyst meeting, Mattel announced it would downgrade its 2019 forecast, reporting
slowing demand for its Barbie doll. Reuters published an article on the company’s adjusted forecast noting that it came
“barely a week after the company said strong holiday sales of Barbie drove a surprise fourth quarter profit.” The Wall Street
Journal also published an article on Mattel’s adjusted outlook, noting “Mattel’s decision to announce an adjusted outlook just a
week after earnings is bizarre,” and further stating “[M]attel isn’t as healthy as it made out. Management should have been
candid about that when it reported earnings instead of letting investors get unjustly excited.”
On this news, MAT’s share price fell by more than 18%, closing at $13.82 on February 15, 2019.
