Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are at the operating segment level, for purposes of evaluating whether goodwill is impaired. Mattel’s reporting units are: (i) North America, (ii) International, and (iii) American Girl. Mattel tests its goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is shown below. Brand-specific goodwill held by foreign subsidiaries is allocated to the North America and American Girl operating segments selling those brands, thereby causing a foreign currency translation impact for these operating segments. In the first quarter of 2018, Mattel sold certain assets related to its Corolle business and wrote off approximately $4 million of goodwill.
