Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. This update replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model (referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss model, or "CECL"). In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codifications Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for using lease guidance and not as financial instruments. Mattel adopted ASU 2016-13 and its related amendments (ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, and ASU 2020-02) on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting standard and its related amendments did not have a material impact on Mattel's consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): 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 was 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 are applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments are applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Mattel adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on Mattel's consolidated financial statements. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-02, Entertainment - Films - Other Assets - Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment - Broadcasters - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, which aligns the accounting for production costs of episodic television series with the accounting of films by removing the content distinction for capitalization. Mattel adopted ASU 2019-02 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on Mattel's consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): 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 on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Mattel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-14 on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for incomes taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify the accounting for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will become effective for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments related to changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries will be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to franchise taxes that are partially based on income will be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments will be applied on a prospective basis. Mattel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.
