(b)There is no tax affect associated with the loss on the liquidation of Mattel's subsidiary in Argentina.
During 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 includes $3.6 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss reclassified to other non-operating expense, 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 2022, currency translation adjustments resulted in a net other comprehensive loss of $51.6 million, primarily due to the weakening of the British pound sterling, Euro, and Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the Mexican peso and Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity, the accumulated currency translation adjustment related to the foreign entity is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the liquidation of Mattel's subsidiary in Argentina was substantially complete and as a result, $45.4 million of accumulated currency translation losses were recognized in other non-operating expense, net within the consolidated statement of operations.
During 2021, currency translation adjustments resulted in a net other comprehensive loss of $54.7 million, primarily due to the weakening of the Turkish lira, Chilean peso, Mexican peso, Euro, and Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar.
During 2020, currency translation adjustments resulted in a net other comprehensive loss of $32.4 million, primarily due to the weakening of the Brazilian real, Russian ruble, and Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar.
