MATTEL Inc won some concessions on its US$1.6 billion credit line, just two days after Toys 'R' Us collapsed into a bankruptcy that reverberated through the retail industry.

The toymaker removed a requirement that it meet certain performance goals from the third fiscal quarter and widened a ratio allowing it to increase debt related to earnings from the quarter after that, according to a regulatory filing. It also tweaked a definition of earnings which allows it to add back certain numbers that may ultimately boost profit.
