Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information Description of Segments Mattel, through its subsidiaries, sells a broad variety of toy products which are grouped into four major brand categories: Mattel Girls & Boys Brands—including Barbie fashion dolls and accessories ("Barbie"), Monster High, DC Super Hero Girls, Enchantimals, and Polly Pocket (collectively "Other Girls"), Hot Wheels and Matchbox vehicles and play sets (collectively "Wheels"), and CARS, DC Comics, WWE Wrestling, Minecraft, Toy Story, and games and puzzles (collectively "Entertainment"). Fisher-Price Brands—including Fisher-Price, Little People, BabyGear, Laugh & Learn, and Imaginext (collectively "Core Fisher-Price"), Thomas & Friends, Shimmer and Shine, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (collectively "Fisher-Price Friends"), and Power Wheels. American Girl Brands—including Truly Me, Girl of the Year, BeForever, Bitty Baby, and WellieWishers. American Girl Brands products are sold directly to consumers via its catalog, website, and proprietary retail stores, as well as sold directly to certain retailers in the U.S. and internationally. Construction and Arts & Crafts Brands—including MEGA BLOKS and RoseArt. Mattel’s operating segments are: (i) North America, which consists of the U.S. and Canada, (ii) International, and (iii) American Girl. Factors considered in determining the operating segments include the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information, and strategic priorities within the organizational structure. These factors correspond to the manner in which the CODM reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to these operating segments. The North America and International segments sell products in the Mattel Girls & Boys Brands, Fisher-Price Brands, and Construction and Arts & Crafts Brands categories, although some are developed and adapted for particular international markets. Segment Data The following tables present information about revenues, loss/income, depreciation and amortization, and assets by segment. Mattel does not include sales adjustments such as trade discounts and other allowances in the calculation of segment revenues (referred to as "gross sales"). Mattel records these adjustments in its financial accounting systems at the time of sale to each customer, but the adjustments are not allocated to individual products. For this reason, Mattel’s CODM uses gross and net sales by segment as metrics to measure segment performance. Such sales adjustments are included in the determination of segment loss/income from operations based on the adjustments recorded in the financial accounting systems. Segment loss/income represents each segment’s operating loss/income, while consolidated operating loss/income represents loss/income from operations before net interest, other non-operating expense/income, net, and income taxes as reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The corporate and other expense category includes costs not allocated to individual segments, including charges related to incentive compensation, severance and other termination-related costs, share-based payments, and corporate headquarters functions managed on a worldwide basis, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany transactions.
