Insurance
Mattel has a wholly owned subsidiary, Far West Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Far West”), that was
established to insure Mattel’s workers’ compensation, general, automobile, product liability, and foreign property
risks. Far West insures the first $1.0 million per occurrence for workers’ compensation risks, the first $0.5
million for general and automobile liability risks, the first $2.0 million per occurrence and $2.0 million per year
for product liability risks, and $0.5 million per occurrence for foreign property risks. Various insurance
companies, that have an “A” or better AM Best rating at the time the policies are purchased, reinsure Mattel’s
risk in excess of the amounts insured by Far West. Mattel’s liability for reported and incurred but not reported
claims at December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $16.3 million and $16.9 million, respectively, and is included in
other noncurrent liabilities. Loss reserves are accrued based on Mattel’s estimate of the aggregate liability for
claims incurred.
