__________________________________________ 
(a)
The amortization of prior service credit (cost) and recognized actuarial loss are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost. Refer to "Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Employee Benefit Plans" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding Mattel’s net periodic benefit cost.
Currency Translation Adjustments
Mattel’s reporting currency is the US dollar. The translation of its net investments in subsidiaries with non-US dollar functional currencies subjects Mattel to the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations in its results of operations and financial position. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with non-US dollar functional currencies are translated into US dollars at fiscal period-end exchange rates. Income, expense, and cash flow items are translated at weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period. The resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. Currency translation adjustments resulted in a net gain of $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, British pound sterling, and Mexican peso against the US dollar. Currency translation adjustments resulted in a net gain of $54.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to the strengthening of the Mexican peso and Euro against the US dollar.
