Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information Mattel designs, manufactures, and markets a broad variety of toy products worldwide, which are sold to its customers and directly to consumers. Segment Data Mattel's reportable segments are: (i) North America and (ii) International. The North America and International segments sell products across Mattel's categories, although some products are developed or adapted for particular international markets. Mattel's reportable segments are aligned to the structure used by its Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), to allocate resources and assess performance. Mattel's CODM evaluates segment performance based on each segment’s income. The CODM also uses this metric in the annual budgeting and quarterly forecasting process to inform decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment. The following tables present information regarding segment income and significant expense information for Mattel's reportable segments. Unallocated corporate and other operating expenses include operating costs not allocated to individual segments, including charges related to incentive and share-based compensation, corporate headquarters functions managed on a worldwide basis, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany transactions, and certain severance and other restructuring costs. It is impracticable for Mattel to present net sales by categories, brands, or products, as trade discounts and other allowances are generally recorded in the financial accounting systems by customer.
