Seasonal Financing and Debt | 12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2013
Seasonal Financing and Debt | Note 5—Seasonal Financing and Debt Seasonal Financing Mattel maintains and periodically amends or replaces its domestic unsecured committed revolving credit facility with a commercial bank group. The facility is used as a back-up to Mattel’s commercial paper program, which is used as the primary source of financing for the seasonal working capital requirements of its domestic subsidiaries. The agreement governing the credit facility was amended and restated on March 11, 2013 to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the credit facility to March 12, 2018, (ii) increase aggregate commitments under the credit facility to $1.60 billion, with an “accordion feature,” which allows Mattel to increase the aggregate availability under the credit facility to $1.85 billion under certain circumstances, (iii) decrease the applicable interest rate margins to a range of 0.00% to 0.75% above the applicable base rate for base rate loans and 0.88% to 1.75% above the applicable LIBOR for Eurodollar rate loans, in each case depending on Mattel’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating, and (iv) decrease commitment fees to a range of 0.08% to 0.28% of the unused commitments under the credit facility. The amended credit facility has a borrowing capacity of up to $1.60 billion over a term of five years. Prior to the amendment, the facility permitted Mattel to borrow up to $1.40 billion and had two years remaining to maturity. The proportion of unamortized debt issuance costs from the prior facility renewal related to creditors involved in both the prior facility and amended facility and borrowing costs incurred as a result of the amendment were deferred and will be amortized over the term of the amended facility. Mattel is required to meet financial ratio covenants at the end of each quarter and fiscal year, using the formulae specified in the credit agreement to calculate the ratios. Mattel was in compliance with such covenants at the end of each fiscal quarter and fiscal year in 2013. As of December 31, 2013, Mattel’s consolidated debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as calculated per the terms of the credit agreement, was 1.16 to 1 (compared to a maximum allowed of 3.00 to 1), and Mattel’s interest coverage ratio was 17.69 to 1 (compared to a minimum required of 3.50 to 1). The credit agreement is a material agreement, and failure to comply with the financial ratio covenants may result in an event of default under the terms of the credit facility. If Mattel were to default under the terms of the credit facility, its ability to meet its seasonal financing requirements could be adversely affected. Mattel believes its cash on hand, amounts available under its credit facility, and its foreign credit lines will be adequate to meet its seasonal financing requirements in 2014. To finance seasonal working capital requirements of certain foreign subsidiaries, Mattel avails itself of individual short-term credit lines with a number of banks. As of December 31, 2013, foreign credit lines totaled approximately $349 million. Mattel expects to extend the majority of these credit lines throughout 2014. Additionally, sales of foreign receivables occur periodically to finance seasonal working capital requirements. The outstanding amounts of accounts receivable that have been sold under international factoring arrangements were $25.6 million and $25.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts have been excluded from Mattel’s consolidated balance sheets. Short-Term Borrowings As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, Mattel had foreign short-term bank loans outstanding of $4.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, Mattel had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. During 2013 and 2012, Mattel had average borrowings of $38.0 million and $44.3 million, respectively, under its foreign short-term bank loans, and $262.3 million and $661.9 million, respectively, under the credit facility and other short-term borrowings, to help finance its seasonal working capital requirements. The weighted average interest rate on foreign short-term bank loans during 2013 and 2012 was 9.4% and 7.8%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the credit facility and other short-term borrowings during 2013 and 2012 was 0.2% and 0.4%, respectively. Long-Term Debt In March 2013, Mattel issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.70% senior unsecured notes (“1.70% Senior Notes”) due March 15, 2018 and $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.15% senior unsecured notes (“3.15% Senior Notes”) due March 15, 2023 (collectively, “2013 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2013 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2013. Mattel may redeem all or part of the 1.70% Senior Notes at any time or from time to time at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date, and (ii) a “make-whole” amount based on the yield of a comparable US Treasury security plus 15 basis points. Mattel may redeem all or part of the 3.15% Senior Notes at any time or from time to time prior to December 15, 2022 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 3.15% Senior Notes) at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date, and (ii) a “make-whole” amount based on the yield of a comparable US Treasury security plus 20 basis points. Mattel may redeem all or part of the 3.15% Senior Notes at any time or from time to time on or after December 15, 2022 (three months prior to the maturity date for the 3.15% Senior Notes) at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date.
