Non-GAAP earnings for the full year of 2010 were $47.0 million, or $1.52 per diluted share including the one-time charge and tax benefits noted above, compared to $30.2 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, reported in 2009.

“We finished 2010 with robust sales that were ahead of plan,” commented Stephen Berman, President and CEO, JAKKS Pacific. “We are pleased that we also achieved the top end of our earnings guidance, despite continuing cost pressures and product mix shift that affected margin on those sales. We continue to closely manage our supply chain and maintain momentum on the development and placement of our product lines for 2011, giving us cautious optimism for this year.
“Our 2011 portfolio has been well-received and is broadly placed in virtually all retail channels. We are expecting to achieve growth this year, with the contributions coming from across all JAKKS divisions, including role play toys, action figures, Halloween costumes, electronics, kids furniture, dolls and more.”
“While we successfully reduced operating costs in 2010, we continue to be challenged with increases in labor, raw materials and transportation,” commented Joel Bennett, Executive Vice President and CFO. “However, barring any further substantial increases, we believe we will be able to keep these pressures in line with our expectations for the year.”
Operations provided cash of $67.5 million for the full year of 2010, and as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s working capital was $389.8 million, including cash and equivalents and marketable securities of $278.6 million.
Bennett continued, “We continue to actively evaluate potential acquisition targets and apply our disciplined approach to obtain the best deal for JAKKS Pacific and our Stockholders. In addition, we purchased 291 thousand shares of our common stock during the quarter at a cost of $5.6 million pursuant to our previously announced stock buy-back program of up to $30.0 million of the Company’s common stock.”
Berman concluded, “For our initial 2011 guidance we are anticipating an increase in net sales of 3% to 4% to approximately $770 to $775 million, with diluted EPS in the range of $1.32 to $1.35, an increase of 4% to 6% excluding the one-time tax benefits and benefit payment in 2010. This guidance anticipates first quarter 2011 net sales in the range of $60 to $65 million, with a loss per share in the range of $0.39 to $0.45 versus net sales of $77.3 million and a loss per share of $0.19 in the first quarter of 2009, which included a one-time tax benefit of $4.9 million, or $0.18 per share.”
Use of Non-GAAP Financial information
In addition to the preliminary results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP included in this release, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information, including net sales information that excludes recall items, and expense information that excludes intangible asset impairment charges and license and inventory impairment charges, among others. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because this information may allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance and certain components of the Company’s results. In addition, the Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s ability to make period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operation results. This information should be considered in addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP results.
