Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are at the operating segment level, for the purpose of evaluating whether goodwill is impaired. Mattel's reporting units are: (i) North America, (ii) International, and (iii) American Girl. Components of the operating segments have been aggregated into a single reporting unit as the components have similar economic characteristics. The similar economic characteristics include the nature of the products, the nature of the production processes, the customers, and the manner in which the products are distributed. 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 is shown below. Brand-specific goodwill held by foreign subsidiaries is allocated to the North America segment, thereby causing a foreign currency translation impact. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Mattel sold its arts, crafts, and stationery business resulting in a reduction of goodwill of approximately $2 million.
