Goodwill
Mattel's reporting units are (i) North America, which consists of the United States and Canada, (ii) International, and (iii) American Girl. In the first quarter of 2024, Mattel implemented an organizational change integrating the American Girl business into Mattel's North America commercial organization. Such integration resulted in a change to Mattel's operating and reportable segments. Goodwill related to the American Girl reporting unit is included in the North America operating segment. Mattel's reportable segments are: (i) North America and (ii) International. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit for 2024 and 2023 is shown below. Brand-specific goodwill held by foreign subsidiaries is allocated to the North America reporting unit selling those brands, thereby causing a foreign currency translation impact.

In the third quarter of 2024, Mattel performed its annual goodwill impairment test 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. There were no events or changes in circumstances subsequent to the third quarter assessment that indicate that the carrying amount of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value as of December 31, 2024.

Mattel tests its amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Mattel's amortizable intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks and trade names. During 2024, 2023, and 2022, Mattel's amortizable intangible assets were not impaired.
