The toy maker late Thursday reported a quarterly loss of $5.32 million, or 47 cents a share, compared with a loss of $9.11 million, or 83 cents a share, a year earlier.

Stripping out certain one-time items, the company posted a loss of 18 cents a share.

In the company's dolls, role-play and dress-up segment, sales fell 22% to $48.8 million. Outdoor and seasonal-toys revenue meanwhile jumped 54% to $13 million and action-play and collectibles sales rose 19% to $56.2 million.

Chief Executive Officer Stephen Berman said demand began to normalize in the fourth quarter following significant disruptions in the second and third quarters from changes in U.S. tariff policy.
