NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only those of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and interim results of Mattel, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Mattel") as of and for the periods presented have been included.
The December 31, 2022 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements; however, the accompanying interim notes to the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP. As Mattel's business is seasonal, results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with Mattel's consolidated financial statements and related notes in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Accounts Receivable, Net
Mattel estimates current expected credit losses based on collection history and management's assessment of the current economic trends, business environment, customers' financial condition, and accounts receivable aging that may impact the level of future credit losses. Accounts receivable were net of allowances for credit losses of $12.9 million, $13.1 million, and $27.6 million as of March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2022, Mattel sold the American Girl corporate offices and a distribution center located in Middleton, Wisconsin, which included land and buildings. Mattel received net proceeds from the sale of $23.8 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $15.2 million, recorded in other selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations upon completion of the sale.
5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
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 reporting unit for the three months ended March 31, 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.

7. Supplier Finance Program
Mattel has an agreement with a third-party financial institution that allows certain participating suppliers the opportunity to voluntarily finance payment obligations of Mattel under a supplier finance program. Under this program, participating suppliers may accelerate the timing of collection of their receivables due from Mattel, prior to their scheduled due dates, by selling one or more of their receivables at a discounted price to the third-party financial institution. The range of payment terms Mattel negotiates with suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether the suppliers participate in the supplier finance program and Mattel does not have any economic interest in any suppliers' decision to participate in the supplier finance program. Suppliers participating in the program are able to select which individual Mattel invoices they sell to the third-party financial institution. However, all Mattel payments of the full amounts due to participating suppliers are paid on the invoice due date based on the terms originally negotiated with the supplier, regardless of whether the individual invoice due to the supplier is sold to the third-party financial institution. Included in Mattel's accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2022 were $54.8 million, $121.4 million, and $86.0 million of outstanding payment obligations due to suppliers, respectively, under the supplier finance program. All payment activities related to the supplier finance program were presented within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
8. Seasonal Financing
On September 15, 2022, Mattel entered into a revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") as the borrower with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders and financial institutions party thereto, providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.40 billion (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on September 15, 2025. In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, Mattel terminated the commitments and satisfied all outstanding obligations under the previous credit agreement, dated December 20, 2017 (as amended).
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either, at Mattel's option, (i) adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.000% per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.000% per annum, in each case, such applicable margins to be determined based on Mattel's debt ratings.
In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Revolving Credit Facility, Mattel is required to pay (i) an unused line fee per annum of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) a letter of credit fronting fee based on a percentage of the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit, and (iii) certain other customary fees and expenses of the lenders and agents.
The obligations of Mattel under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by each domestic subsidiary of Mattel that guarantees any of Mattel's senior unsecured notes (collectively, the "Guarantors"). If Mattel achieves a debt rating of BBB-, Baa3, and/or BBB- (or higher) from any two of S&P, Moody's, and Fitch, respectively, and no event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time and Mattel provides a certification regarding the foregoing to the administrative agent (a "Fall-Away Event"), the obligations of Mattel under the Revolving Credit Facility will instead be required to be guaranteed by each existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of Mattel only to the extent such subsidiary guarantees other indebtedness of Mattel in an aggregate principal or committed amount in excess of $50 million.
The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by liens on substantially all of Mattel's and the Guarantors' present and after-acquired assets (subject to certain exceptions), including domestic accounts receivable, inventory, certain trademarks and patents, and certain equity interests in direct material subsidiaries of Mattel and the Guarantors. If a Fall-Away Event occurs, all collateral securing the Revolving Credit Facility will be permanently released.
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on Mattel's and its subsidiaries' ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interests on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances, or investments, pay dividends, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, amend organizational documents, change accounting policies or reporting practices, or enter into negative pledges with respect to assets that constitute collateral. The restrictive covenants also contain customary exceptions, including the uncapped ability to make investments and pay dividends if, in each case, the pro forma total leverage ratio after giving effect to such investment or dividend will be at least 0.25 to 1.00 inside the then-applicable total leverage ratio financial covenant level. Further, if a Fall-Away Event occurs, the restrictive covenants governing investments, dividends, negative pledges, and changes in accounting policies or reporting practices will no longer apply.
The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of (a) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.75 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter and (b) a total leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter, not to exceed 4.25 to 1.00 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, with an additional step down to 3.75 to 1.00 to occur as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, as described below.
As of March 31, 2023, Mattel had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and no other short-term borrowings outstanding. As of March 31, 2022, Mattel had no borrowings outstanding under the previous senior secured revolving credit facilities and no other short-term borrowings outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, Mattel had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and no other short-term borrowings outstanding. Outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled approximately $8 million as of March 31, 2023. Outstanding letters of credit under the previous senior secured revolving credit facilities totaled approximately $10 million as of March 31, 2022. Outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled approximately $8 million as of December 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2023, Mattel was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is a material agreement, and failure to comply with its covenants may result in an event of default under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. If Mattel were to default under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, its ability to meet its seasonal financing requirements could be adversely affected.
In April 2023, S&P upgraded Mattel’s debt rating from BB+ to BBB- and maintained a positive outlook, and in November 2022, Moody’s previously upgraded Mattel’s debt rating from Ba1 to Baa3. On April 27, 2023, Mattel provided a certification of the foregoing to the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, which resulted in the occurrence of a Fall-Away Event.
As a result of the Fall-Away Event, all guarantee obligations of the Guarantors under the Revolving Credit Facility were released, and the obligations of Mattel under the Revolving Credit Facility will be required to be guaranteed by each existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of Mattel only to the extent such subsidiary guarantees other indebtedness of Mattel in an aggregate principal or committed amount in excess of $50 million. Additionally, all collateral securing the Revolving Credit Facility was permanently released; the restrictive covenants governing investments, dividends, negative pledges, and changes in accounting policies or reporting practices no longer apply; and the total leverage ratio financial covenant will require maintenance of a total leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00.
9. Long-Term Debt

Total long-term debt | $ | 2,326,731 | | | $ | 2,322,150 | | | $ | 2,325,644 | |
On December 30, 2022, Mattel used cash on hand to redeem and retire the $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Senior Notes due March 2023.
Mattel's 2019 Senior Notes due 2027 were issued pursuant to an indenture dated November 20, 2019, and its 2021 Senior Notes due 2026 and 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 were issued pursuant to an indenture dated March 19, 2021. These indentures contain covenants that limit Mattel's (and some of its subsidiaries') ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries; (iv) create liens; (v) enter into certain sale/leaseback transactions; (vi) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of substantially all of their assets; and (vii) designate subsidiaries as unrestricted. The indentures also provided that certain of these covenants would be suspended if Mattel achieved a debt rating of BBB-, Baa3, and/or BBB- (or higher) from any two of S&P, Moody's, and Fitch, respectively, and no event of default has occurred.
In April 2023, S&P upgraded Mattel’s debt rating from BB+ to BBB- and maintained a positive outlook, and in November 2022, Moody’s previously upgraded Mattel’s debt rating from Ba1 to Baa3. As a result of the upgraded debt ratings and no events of default, the covenants limiting Mattel’s ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments, and make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, and certain provisions of the covenant limiting Mattel’s ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of substantially all of their assets, are suspended. If Mattel ceases to have debt ratings of BBB-, Baa3, and/or BBB- (or higher) from any two of S&P, Moody's, and Fitch, respectively, Mattel will thereafter be subject to the suspended covenants with respect to future events. Following the Fall-Away Event under the Revolving Credit Facility, all guarantee obligations of the Guarantors under the 2019 Senior Notes due 2027, 2021 Senior Notes due 2026 and 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 were released, and the obligations of Mattel under the 2019 Senior Notes due 2027, 2021 Senior Notes due 2026 and 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 will be required to be guaranteed by each existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of Mattel only to the extent such subsidiary guarantees other indebtedness of Mattel in an aggregate principal or committed amount in excess of $50 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Mattel adjusted accumulated other comprehensive loss by $6.4 million in relation to previously recorded available-for-sale equity securities. This amount was adjusted in order to account for such securities in a manner consistent with ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities. The adjustment included $3.6 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss reclassified to other non-operating expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations and $2.8 million reclassified to retained earnings in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. The adjustment, including tax effect, was immaterial to the financial statements.
Currency Translation Adjustments
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, currency translation adjustments resulted in a net gain of $28.1 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the Mexican peso, British pound sterling, Chilean peso, and Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, offset by the weakening of the Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, currency translation adjustments resulted in a net gain of $0.9 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the Brazilian real, Mexican peso, and the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, offset by the weakening of the British pound sterling and the Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar.
11. Foreign Currency Transaction Exposure
Currency transaction gains (losses) included in the consolidated statements of operations were as follows:

The Chinese yuan, Euro, and Russian ruble were the primary currencies that caused foreign currency transaction exposure for Mattel during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
12. Derivative Instruments
Mattel seeks to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency transaction risk by monitoring its foreign currency transaction exposure for the year and partially hedging such exposure using foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Mattel uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges primarily to hedge its purchases and sales of inventory denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts have maturity dates of up to 24 months. These derivative instruments have been designated as effective cash flow hedges, whereby the unsettled hedges are reported in Mattel's consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the hedges reflected in other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Realized gains and losses for these contracts are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the inventory is sold to customers. Mattel uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge intercompany loans and advances denominated in foreign currencies. Due to the short-term nature of the contracts involved, Mattel does not use hedge accounting for these contracts, and as such, changes in fair value are recorded in the period of change in the consolidated statements of operations. Mattel utilizes derivative contracts to hedge certain purchases of commodities, which were not material. As of March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2022, Mattel held foreign currency forward exchange contracts and other commodity derivative instruments, with notional amounts of approximately $792 million, $953 million, and $674 million, respectively.

13. Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present information about Mattel's assets and liabilities measured and reported in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2022 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
•Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following tables represent Mattel's financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

(a)The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange and other contracts was based on dealer quotes of market forward rates and reflects the amount that Mattel would receive or pay at their maturity dates for contracts involving the same notional amounts, currencies, and maturity dates.
(b)The fair value of the available-for-sale security was based on the quoted price on an active public exchange.
Other Financial Instruments
Mattel's financial instruments included cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. The fair values of these instruments, excluding long-term debt, approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature. Cash and equivalents were classified as Level 1 and all other financial instruments were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair value of Mattel's long-term debt was $2.19 billion (compared to a carrying amount of $2.35 billion) as of March 31, 2023, $2.65 billion (compared to a carrying amount of $2.60 billion) as of March 31, 2022, and $2.13 billion (compared to a carrying amount of $2.35 billion) as of December 31, 2022. The estimated fair values have been calculated based on broker quotes or rates for the same or similar instruments and were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Mattel made cash contributions totaling approximately $1 million related to its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans. During the remainder of 2023, Mattel expects to make additional cash contributions of approximately $5 million.
16. Share-Based Payments
Mattel has various stock compensation plans, which are described in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Share-Based Payments" in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under the Mattel, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation Plan, Mattel has the ability to grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance RSUs ("performance awards"), dividend equivalent rights, and shares of common stock to officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants providing services to Mattel. Stock options are granted with exercise prices at the fair market value of Mattel's common stock on the applicable grant date and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Stock options, RSUs, and performance awards generally provide for vesting over, or at the end of, a period of three years from the date of grant.
Compensation expense, included within other selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, related to stock options, RSUs, and performance awards was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | For the Three Months Ended | | |
| | | | | March 31, 2023 | | March 31, 2022 | | | | |

As of March 31, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based payments totaled $73.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Mattel uses treasury shares purchased under its share repurchase program to satisfy stock option exercises and the vesting of RSUs and performance awards. Cash received for stock option exercises, net of taxes, was $2.0 million and $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

18. Restructuring Charges
Optimizing for Growth (formerly Capital Light)
Mattel's Optimizing for Growth program is a multi-year cost savings program that integrates and expands upon the previously announced Capital Light program (the "Program"). In February 2023, the Program was expanded to include additional initiatives, including actions to further streamline Mattel's organizational structure.
In connection with the Program, Mattel recorded severance and other restructuring costs in the following cost and expense categories within operating income in the consolidated statements of operations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the Three Months Ended | | |
| March 31, 2023 | | March 31, 2022 | | | | |

Other selling and administrative expenses (b) | 20,700 | | | 6,414 | | | | | |
| $ | 20,700 | | | $ | 9,083 | | | | | |
(a)Severance and other restructuring charges recorded within cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations are included in segment operating (loss) income in "Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Segment Information."
(b)Severance and other restructuring charges recorded within other selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations are included in corporate and other expense in "Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Segment Information."
The following tables summarize Mattel's severance and other restructuring charges activity within operating income related to the Program:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Liability at December 31, 2022 | | Charges (a) | | Payments/Utilization | | Liability at March 31, 2023 |
| (In thousands) |
Severance | $ | 9,355 | | | $ | 17,250 | | | $ | (4,871) | | | $ | 21,734 | |
Other restructuring charges | 3,540 | | | 3,450 | | | (5,374) | | | 1,616 | |
| $ | 12,895 | | | $ | 20,700 | | | $ | (10,245) | | | $ | 23,350 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Liability at December 31, 2021 | | Charges (a) | | Payments/Utilization | | Liability at March 31, 2022 |
| (In thousands) |
Severance | $ | 12,411 | | | $ | 3,518 | | | $ | (3,901) | | | $ | 12,028 | |
Other restructuring charges | 2,834 | | | 5,565 | | | (5,178) | | | 3,221 | |
| $ | 15,245 | | | $ | 9,083 | | | $ | (9,079) | | | $ | 15,249 | |
(a)Other restructuring charges consist primarily of expenses associated with the restructuring of commercial and corporate functions and consolidation of manufacturing facilities.
As of March 31, 2023, Mattel had recorded cumulative severance and other restructuring charges related to the Program of approximately $186 million, which included approximately $73 million of non-cash charges, including $45.4 million recognized within non-operating expense, net, during the fourth quarter of 2022 related to the liquidation of Mattel's subsidiary in Argentina. Furthermore, cumulatively, in conjunction with previous actions taken under the Capital Light program, total expected cash expenditures are approximately $195 to $225 million and total expected non-cash charges are approximately $75 million.
Other Cost Savings Actions
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Mattel executed additional actions to further streamline its organizational structure that were not included in the Program. In connection with these actions, severance costs of $3.2 million were recorded within other selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
19. Income Taxes
Mattel's benefit for income taxes was $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a provision of $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Mattel recognized a net discrete tax expense of $0.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively, primarily related to (i) undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and (ii) reassessments of prior years' tax liabilities.
Evaluating the need for and the amount of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets often requires significant judgment and extensive analysis of all available evidence to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that these assets will be realizable. Mattel routinely assesses the positive and negative evidence for this realizability, including the evaluation of sustained profitability and three years of cumulative pretax income for each tax jurisdiction. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Mattel's valuation allowance position remained unchanged.
In the normal course of business, Mattel is regularly audited by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. Based on the current status of federal, state, and foreign audits, Mattel believes it is reasonably possible that in the next 12 months, the total unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $15.1 million related to the settlement of tax audits and/or the expiration of statutes of limitations. The ultimate settlement of any particular issue with the applicable taxing authority could have a material impact on Mattel's consolidated financial statements.
20. Contingencies
Litigation Related to Yellowstone do Brasil Ltda.
In April 1999, Yellowstone do Brasil Ltda. (formerly known as Trebbor Informática Ltda.) filed a lawsuit against Mattel do Brasil before the 15th Civil Court of Curitiba, State of Parana, requesting the annulment of its security bonds and promissory notes given to Mattel do Brasil as well as damages due to an alleged breach of an oral exclusive distribution agreement between the parties relating to the supply and sale of toys in Brazil. Yellowstone's complaints sought alleged loss of profits plus an unspecified amount of damages.
Mattel do Brasil filed its defenses to these claims and simultaneously presented a counterclaim for unpaid accounts receivable for goods supplied to Yellowstone.
In April 2018, Mattel do Brasil entered into a settlement agreement to resolve this matter, but the settlement was later rejected by the courts, subject to a pending appeal by Mattel.
In October 2018, the Superior Court of Justice issued a final ruling in favor of Yellowstone on the merits of Yellowstone's claims. Previously, the courts had ruled in Mattel's favor on its counterclaim.
In October 2019, Mattel reached an agreement with Yellowstone's former counsel regarding payment of the attorney's fees portion of the judgment. In November 2019, Yellowstone initiated an action to enforce its judgment against Mattel, but did not account for an offset for Mattel's counterclaim. In January 2020, Mattel obtained an injunction, staying Yellowstone's enforcement action pending resolution of Mattel's appeal to enforce the parties' April 2018 settlement. As of March 31, 2023, Mattel assessed its probable loss related to this matter and has accrued a reserve, which is not material.
Litigation Related to the Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play Sleeper
A number of putative class action lawsuits filed between April 2019 and October 2019 are pending against Fisher-Price, Inc. and/or Mattel, Inc. asserting claims for false advertising, negligent product design, breach of warranty, fraud, and other claims in connection with the marketing and sale of the Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play Sleeper (the "Sleeper"). In general, the lawsuits allege that the Sleeper should not have been marketed and sold as safe and fit for prolonged and overnight sleep for infants. The putative class action lawsuits propose nationwide and over 10 statewide consumer classes comprised of those who purchased the Sleeper as marketed as safe for prolonged and overnight sleep. The class actions have been consolidated before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York for pre-trial purposes pursuant to the U.S. federal courts' Multi-District Litigation program. In June 2022, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion to certify damages and injunctive relief classes under New York law, but granted plaintiffs' request to certify a New York issue class to resolve two issues on a class-wide basis. In October 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs' petition to appeal the denial of certification of the damages and injunctive relief classes.
Thirty-one additional lawsuits filed between April 2019 and April 2023 are pending against Fisher-Price, Inc. and Mattel, Inc. alleging that a product defect in the Sleeper caused the fatalities of or injuries to thirty-four children. Several lawsuits have been settled and/or dismissed. Additionally, Fisher-Price, Inc. and/or Mattel, Inc. have also received letters from lawyers purporting to represent additional plaintiffs who have threatened to assert similar claims.
In addition, a stockholder has filed a derivative action in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (Kumar v. Bradley, et al., filed July 7, 2020) alleging breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment related to the development, marketing, and sale of the Sleeper. The defendants in the derivative action are certain of Mattel's current and former officers and directors. In August 2020, the derivative action was stayed pending further developments in the class action lawsuits. In August 2021, a second similar derivative action was filed in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (Armon v. Bradley, et al., filed August 30, 2021), which is also stayed.
The lawsuits seek compensatory damages, punitive damages, statutory damages, restitution, disgorgement, attorneys' fees, costs, interest, declaratory relief, and/or injunctive relief. Mattel believes that the allegations in the lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss for the lawsuits cannot be made at this time.
Mattel also is in discussions with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC") regarding a request from the CPSC that Mattel increase the proportional cash refund available to consumers who participate in the recall of the Sleeper first announced in 2019. Mattel assessed its probable loss related to this matter and has accrued a reserve, which is not material.
Litigation and Investigations Related to Whistleblower Letter
In December 2019 and January 2020, two stockholders filed separate complaints styled as class actions against Mattel, Inc. and certain of its former officers (the "Mattel Defendants"), as well as others, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, alleging violations of U.S. federal securities laws. The two complaints were consolidated in April 2020 and an amended complaint was filed in May 2020. The complaints rely on the results of an investigation announced by Mattel in October 2019 regarding allegations in a whistleblower letter and claim that Mattel misled the market in several of its financial statements beginning in the third quarter of 2017. The lawsuits allege that the defendants' conduct caused the plaintiffs and other stockholders to purchase Mattel common stock at artificially inflated prices. The court granted plaintiffs' motion for class certification in September 2021. Following a mediation on October 25, 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the class action lawsuits, which was later approved by the court. In February 2022, the Mattel Defendants paid $86 million in settlement of the claims against them, which was funded in full by Mattel's insurers. A single stockholder appealed the court's approval of the settlement, but the appeal was dismissed for failure to prosecute in March 2023. The settlement does not entail any admission of fault or liability by the Mattel Defendants, which the Mattel Defendants have expressly contested throughout the pendency of the litigation.
21. 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, which consists of the United States and Canada; (ii) International; and (iii) American Girl. The North America and International segments sell products across Mattel's categories, although some products are developed and adapted for particular international markets.
The following tables present information regarding Mattel's net sales, operating (loss) income, and assets by reportable segment. The corporate and other expense category includes 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.

22. New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. ASU 2022-04 requires that buyers in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of the financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes since prior periods, and potential magnitude. The guidance in ASU 2022-04 was effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Refer to "Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Supplier Finance Program" for additional information regarding Mattel's supplier finance program. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on Mattel's consolidated financial statements.
