In the third quarter of 2025, Mattel performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment 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, estimates, 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, 2025. Identifiable Intangible Assets, Net Mattel's identifiable intangible assets, net consisted of the following:

Mattel tests its amortizable identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. Mattel's amortizable identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks and trade names. During 2025, 2024, and 2023, Mattel's amortizable identifiable intangible assets were not impaired.
