Hasbro and Mattel’s Q1 info is here.
4Kids: Net revenues down a third from last year’s Q1 ($10M vs $15M). Net loss of $2M. Monster Jam, Cabbage Patch, and Yu-Gi-Oh were top earners. Chaotic sales were a huge drag on the revenue, earning only $437K vs $2.4M in Q1 2008. However, they’ve just begun a massive rollout of Chaotic products in the UK, and they’re coming out with Chaotic TV shows and video games later in the year. (source)
Jakks Pacific: Performed worse than expected, losing $10.8M compared to a profit of $877K in Q1 2008. Revenue was $108M, compared to $131M. (source)
Leapfrog: Sales drop 49% to $30M, losses of $27M (same as last year). (source)
Meanwhile, Activision Blizzard posted revenues of $981M and profits of $189M.
