Mattel experienced a significant negative swing in operating cash flow, moving from a $24.8M surplus last year to a $22.9M deficit this quarter, driven by lower net income. This pressure on liquidity could make the company more receptive to solutions that improve cash management, reduce operating costs, or accelerate revenue collection.
Filing excerpt
Cash flows used for operating activities were $22.9 million in the first three months of 2026, as compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $24.8 million in the first three months of 2025.
