New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Mattel adopted the new lease standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods, as further discussed in "Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Leases." In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which expands the hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting and changes both how companies assess hedge effectiveness and presentation and disclosure requirements. Mattel adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits the reclassification of disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) caused by the U.S. Tax Act to retained earnings. Mattel adopted ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. For additional information, see "Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Income Taxes." Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. ASU 2018-13 will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2020. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty will be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. In addition, early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures, but delayed adoption of any additional disclosures until their effective date, is permitted. Mattel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 will become effective for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Mattel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-14 on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation: Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities, which improves the accounting for variable interest entities by considering indirect interests held through related parties under common control for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. ASU 2018-17 will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Mattel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-17 on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Financial Instruments, which clarifies and improves guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses, hedging, and recognition and measurement of financial instruments. ASU 2019-04 will become effective for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values require prospective application. Amendments related to the codification improvements to ASU 2017-12 are permitted to be either retrospectively applied as of the date of adoption of ASU 2017-02 or applied prospectively beginning January 1, 2020. All other amendments will be applied on a modified-retrospective transition method. Mattel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2019-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
