The prior year's results included a $242.9 million impairment charge.

Revenue for the three months ended Nov. 27 slipped 3 percent to $440.2 million from $454.1 million.

The company lowered its material, labor and other production costs to $205 million from $223.2 million and reduced its selling, distribution and marketing expenses to $124.2 million from $159.8 million.

On Tuesday, American Greetings said it reached a deal with party goods maker Amscan Inc. and would stop making its own party goods. The move will result in a plant closing and about 225 facility-related job cuts.
