Currency Translation Adjustments

Mattel's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The translation of its net investments in subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies subjects Mattel to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in its results of operations and financial position. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at fiscal period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period. The resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity. Currency translation adjustments resulted in a net loss of $105.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the weakening of the Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Russian ruble, and the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar. Currency translation adjustments resulted in a net loss of $33.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the weakening of the British pound sterling, Euro, and Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar.
