Poll of the Day > Toys R' Us to close all 800 Americans stores next week after $5 billion debt

Topic List	Page List: 1, 2, 3
Locusts 03/09/18 7:42:51 PM #1:	The big box retailer filed for chapter 11 protection in September with the hopes of reorganizing its roughly $5 billion debt load, revamping its stores and operations, and continuing as a mainstay toy business. Troubled toy chain Toys R Us Inc. is preparing to liquidate all of its U.S. stores and abandon efforts to restructure through the bankruptcy process, people familiar with the matter said, after a weak holiday season torpedoed plans to reorganize. Toys R Us was hurt by the rise in online shopping and shifting trends that saw more kids choosing to play with iPads over Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels. According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, which is able to track Toys R Us' fortunes through its SEC filings as an issuer of public debt, Toys R Us reported losses of more than $600 million through the 12 months ending Oct. 28, 2017, and hasn't reported a full-year profit since 2013. Reports that Toys 'R' Us could close all of its more than 800 stores as early as next week had a big impact on toymaker stocks on Thursday. Mattel Inc., which makes toys including Barbie and Hot Wheels, saw its stock fall as much as 6.1 per cent. Meanwhile, while Hasbro Inc. which produces Mr. Potato Head and My Little Pony stocks dropped 3 per cent. British banker Barclays says Toys R Us could take Mattel down with it. According to Mattel's SEC filings, Toys R Us is among Mattel's three largest customers, accounting for $400 million of the toymaker's sales. It's anticipated that toy manufacturers will suffer if Toys 'R' Us does liquidate in the US, as the company accounts for about 15 per cent of American toy sales. In addition, Toys 'R' Us was known for giving small companies and new products a chance, whereas other toy-selling retailers, such as Walmart and Target, prefer to go with tried-and-true merchandise. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5483541/Bankrupt-Toys-R-prepares-liquidate-stores.html https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-09/toys-r-us-downfall-is-ominous-reminder-about-debt-laden-deals https://finance.yahoo.com/news/does-toys-r-us-apos-170444455.html https://www.wsj.com/articles/toys-r-us-considers-closing-all-of-its-u-s-stores-1520549311 <cite>Locusts posted [p:897500767] in Toys R' Us...

Like literally the first thing they did after filing bankruptcy was push though some sort of shitty "augmented reality" game in the stores. But I guess this isn't a shock when you do less than 50% of the projected budget for the season.
