JAKKS, which ranked No. 88 on this year's list, was one of only three companies to make the magazine's list of "Four Year All-Stars."

"We are extremely proud to be included in FORTUNE's Fastest-Growing Companies list for the fourth year in a row," said Stephen Berman, President and COO. "Our continual inclusion in this prestigious list, especially in a challenging economic environment, is a testament to the fundamental strength of our basic business strategy."

All companies on the list are U.S.-based with over three years of operations, revenues and a market capitalization of at least $50 million. In addition, all companies have at least a 30% annual growth rate for three years in both revenue and earnings per share, with positive earnings in the latest quarter. FORTUNE ranks eligible companies by growth in revenue, earnings per share, and total stock market return over three years and then adds the scores from those three categories.
