Financial Overview
For the quarter, net sales were $951.9 million, up 8 percent compared to $880.1 million last year, including favorable changes in currency exchange rates of 1 percentage point. On a regional basis, first quarter gross sales increased 7 percent in the U.S. and 10 percent in international markets, including favorable changes in currency exchange rates of 2 percentage points. Operating income for the quarter was $36.8 million, compared to prior year’s operating income for the quarter of $45.2 million.
The company’s debt-to-total-capital ratio was 32.3 percent. Consistent with the seasonality of the business, during the quarter the company’s cash and equivalents declined by approximately $232 million, compared with a decline of approximately $245 million in last year’s first quarter.
Net cash flows used for operating activities were approximately $42 million, a decrease of $203 million compared with approximately $245 million in 2010. The decrease is primarily due to the collection of $300 million of domestic receivables not factored in 2010, partially offset by higher working capital usage.
Cash flows used for financing and other activities were $181 million, a decrease of $216 million, compared to approximately $35 million provided by financing activities in 2010, primarily reflecting share repurchases and first quarter dividend payments.

Fisher-Price Brands
First quarter worldwide gross sales for the Fisher-Price Brands business unit, which includes the Fisher-Price® Core, Fisher-Price® Friends and Power Wheels® brands, were $309.9 million, or down 2 percent versus the prior year due primarily to the discontinuation of the Sesame Street product line.
