Goodwill
Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units for the purpose of evaluating whether goodwill is impaired. Mattel's reporting units are: (i) North America; (ii) American Girl; and (iii) International. Components of the reporting units have been aggregated into single reporting units where 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 amount of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value.
Mattel performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment as of August 1, 2024, and determined that goodwill was not impaired. The quantitative goodwill impairment assessment includes the use of certain assumptions and estimates to calculate the estimated fair value of Mattel’s reporting units. To the extent assumptions, estimations, or market factors, including seasonality, differ from Mattel’s current estimates, the estimated fair value of Mattel’s reporting units may be susceptible to significant changes. The reporting unit that is most susceptible to changes in assumptions and estimates given its smaller size is American Girl, as excess fair value over carrying value is a lesser dollar and percentage value than the other reporting units.
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is shown below. Brand-specific goodwill held by foreign subsidiaries is allocated to the North America reporting unit selling those brands, resulting in a foreign currency exchange rate impact.
