Equity [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity Preference Stock Mattel is authorized to issue up to 20.0 million shares of $0.01 par value preference stock, of which none is currently outstanding. Preferred Stock Mattel is authorized to issue up to 3.0 million shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock, of which none is currently outstanding. Common Stock Repurchase Program During 2017, 2016, and 2015, Mattel did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. Mattel’s share repurchase program was first announced on July 21, 2003. On July 17, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized Mattel to increase its share repurchase program by $500.0 million. At December 31, 2017, share repurchase authorizations of $203.0 million had not been executed. Repurchases will take place from time to time, depending on market conditions. Mattel’s share repurchase program has no expiration date. Dividends During 2017, 2016, and 2015, Mattel paid total dividends per share of $0.91, $1.52, and $1.52, respectively, to holders of its common stock. The Board of Directors declared the dividends, if any, on a quarterly basis, and Mattel paid the dividends during the quarters in which the dividends were declared, if applicable. The payment of dividends on common stock is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and is subject to customary limitations. In October 2017, Mattel's Board of Directors determined to suspend the Company's quarterly dividend beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, which was previously $0.15 per share, in order to increase financial flexibility, strengthen the balance sheet, and facilitate strategic investments.

Currency Translation Adjustments For 2017, currency translation adjustments resulted in a net gain of $191.3 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro and the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar and the recognition of a $59.0 million loss related to the discontinuation of Mattel's Venezuelan operations in other non-operating expense/income, net within the consolidated statements of operations. For 2016, currency translation adjustments resulted in a net loss of $101.5 million, primarily due to the weakening of the British pound sterling, Mexican peso, and Euro against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar. For 2015, currency translation adjustments resulted in a net loss of $213.8 million, primarily due to the weakening of the Euro, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, and British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar.
