Hasbro Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Maintains Full Year EBITDA Guidance & Declares Quarterly Dividend
Pawtucket, R.I., October 24, 2024 -- Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a leading toy and game company, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2024.
"Outperformance within our gaming and licensing businesses in the third quarter highlights the strength in two of our highest profit areas," said Chris Cocks, Hasbro Chief Executive Officer. "Our key initiatives around digital, licensing and reinvigorating our product innovation are bearing fruit.”
"We continue to execute our turnaround efforts and are poised to finish the year with improved profitability, cash flow and operational rigor", said Gina Goetter, Hasbro’s Chief Financial Officer.
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
•Third quarter Hasbro, Inc. revenue declined 15%; excluding the eOne divestiture, revenue declined 9%. Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment declined 5% due to the lap of Baldur's Gate 3 and Consumer Products declined 10% behind softer volume.
•Operating profit of $302 million and operating margin of 23.6% includes $27 million of costs for intangible amortization associated with eOne and costs associated with the Company's transformation.
•Adjusted operating profit of $329 million (-$14 million vs. PY) and adjusted operating margin of 25.7% (+2.9 points vs. PY), driven by favorable business mix, supply chain productivity, and lower operating costs.
•Delivered $87 million of net cost savings and approximately $177 million year to date; on track for full-year net savings commitment.
•Hasbro owned inventory down 39% versus prior year, including a 40% decline in Consumer Products inventory versus the third quarter 2023.
•Reported net earnings of $1.59 per diluted share; adjusted net earnings of $1.73 per diluted share benefiting from favorable business mix and improved profitability.
•Paid $98 million in cash dividends to shareholders in the quarter.
Third Quarter 2024 Segment Details

•Revenue decreased 5% as growth in MAGIC: THE GATHERING was offset by expected declines in Licensed and Digital Gaming due to the launch of Baldur's Gate 3 in the third quarter 2023.
•MAGIC: THE GATHERING revenue increased 3% behind growth in tabletop and ARENA.
•Monopoly Go! contributed $30M of revenue, in line with guidance.
•Operating profit declined 11% and operating margin of 44.9%, down 3.1 points due to lower digital licensing revenue.
•Consumer Products Segment
•Revenue decrease of 10% driven by exited brands, reduced closeouts and softer than anticipated volume; declines partially offset by new product innovation and strength in consumer products licensing.
•Operating margin of 14.1% and adjusted operating margin of 15.1% (+3.9 points vs. PY) behind favorable mix, supply chain cost productivity and reduced operating expenses offsetting the volume deleverage.
•Growth in Beyblade, TRANSFORMERS and FURBY and in licensed consumer products for MY LITTLE PONY.
•Entertainment Segment
•Revenue decline of 86% impacted by the eOne divestiture; absent this impact, revenue declined 17% driven by the timing of the delivery of deals.

•Adjusted operating profit of $13 million compared to adjusted operating profit of $8 million in the third quarter 2023.
Year to Date 2024 Highlights
•Year to date Hasbro revenue declined 18% driven primarily by the eOne divestiture; excluding this impact, revenue declined 8%.

•Operating profit of $630 million and operating margin of 20.8% includes $96 million of costs for intangible amortization associated with eOne, loss on disposal of business and costs associated with the Company's transformation.
•Adjusted operating profit of $726 million (+$200 million vs. PY) and adjusted operating margin of 23.9% (+9.8 points vs. PY), driven by favorable business mix, lower royalty expense, supply chain productivity and lower operating costs.
•Reported net earnings of $3.00 per diluted share; adjusted net earnings of $3.56 per diluted share benefiting from improved operations and business mix.
•Operating cash flow of $588 million vs. $335 million in the prior year driven by the profitability improvement and favorability from working capital.
Year to Date 2024 Segment Details

•Tabletop revenue increased 3% behind growth in MAGIC: THE GATHERING.
•Monopoly Go! contributed $74 million year to date.
•Operating profit increased 30% and operating margin of 47.0% due to higher digital licensing revenue mix of revenues and lower expenses, including royalties.
•Consumer Products Segment
•Revenue decrease of 16% driven by exited brands, reduced closeouts, and softer than anticipated volume offsetting growth in licensed consumer products.
•Operating margin of 3.6% and adjusted operating margin of 5.1% driven by favorable licensing mix, cost savings and productivity gains.
•Entertainment Segment
•Revenue decline of 87% impacted by the sale of eOne divestiture; absent this impact, revenue increased 1% driven by the timing of the delivery of deals.

See the financial tables accompanying the press release for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
2024 Company Outlook1
For the full year, the Company now expects:
•Consumer Products Segment revenue down 12% to 14%; Adjusted operating margin 4% to 6%.
•Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming Segment revenue flat to down 1%; Operating margin of approximately 42%.
•Pro-Forma Entertainment segment revenue down $15 million; Adjusted operating margin of approximately 60%.
•Total Hasbro Adjusted EBITDA of $975 million to $1.025 billion.
•Gross savings target of $750 million by year end 2025.
2024 Capital Allocation priorities:
•Invest in core business.
•Return cash to shareholders through the dividend.
•Continue to pay down debt and progress towards leverage target.
1The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted operating margin and adjusted EBITDA measures because the Company cannot predict with certainty the timing and amounts of discrete items such as charges associated with its cost-savings program, which could impact GAAP results.
Dividend Announcement
During the third quarter, the Company paid $98 million in cash dividends to shareholders. The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per common share payable on December 4, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 20, 2024.

These statements, which may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases, include statements relating to our business strategies and plans; expectations relating to products, gaming and entertainment; anticipated cost savings; and financial targets and guidance. Our actual actions or results may differ materially from those expected or anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to both known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:
•our ability to successfully execute on our business strategy and transformation initiatives;
•our ability to successfully compete in the play industry and further develop our digital gaming, licensing business and partnerships;
•our ability to transform our business and capabilities to address the changing global consumer landscape, including evolving demographics for our products and advancements in technology;
•our ability to design, develop, manufacture, and ship products on a timely, cost-effective and profitable basis;
•the concentration of our customers, potentially increasing the negative impact to our business of difficulties experienced by any of our customers or changes in their purchasing or selling patterns;
•uncertain and unpredictable global and regional economic conditions impacting one or more of the markets in which we sell products, which can negatively impact our customers and consumers, result in lower employment levels, consumer disposable income, retailer inventories and spending, including lower spending on purchases of our products;
•risks related to political, economic and public health conditions or regulatory changes in the markets in which we and our customers, partners, licensees, suppliers and manufacturers operate, such as inflation, rising interest rates, tariffs, higher commodity prices, labor strikes, labor costs or transportation costs, or outbreaks of illness or disease, the occurrence of which could create work slowdowns, delays or shortages in production or shipment of products, increases in costs or delays in revenue;
•our dependence on third party relationships, including with third party partners, manufacturers, distributors, studios, content producers, licensors, licensees, and outsourcers, which creates reliance on others and loss of control;
•risks relating to the concentration of manufacturing for many of our products in the People’s Republic of China and our ability to successfully diversify sourcing of our products to reduce reliance on sources of supply in China;
•risks associated with international operations, such as conflict in territories in which we operate, currency conversion, currency fluctuations, the imposition or threat of tariffs, quotas, shipping delays or difficulties, border adjustment taxes or other protectionist measures, and other challenges in the territories in which we operate;

•the risk that acquisitions, dispositions and other investments we complete may not provide us with the benefits we expect, or the realization of such benefits may be significantly delayed;
•our ability to protect our assets and intellectual property, including as a result of infringement, theft, misappropriation, cyber-attacks or other acts compromising the integrity of our assets or intellectual property;
•fluctuations in our business due to seasonality;
•the risk of product recalls or product liability suits and costs associated with product safety regulations;
•changes in accounting treatment, tax laws or regulations, or the interpretation and application of such laws and regulations, which may cause us to alter reserves or make other changes which significantly impact our reported financial results;
•the impact of litigation or arbitration decisions or settlement actions;
•the bankruptcy or other lack of success of one or more of our significant retailers, licensees and other partners; and
•other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed in our public announcements and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
The statements contained herein are based on our current beliefs and expectations. We undertake no obligation to make any revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this press release or to update them to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial tables accompanying this press release include non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, specifically Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which exclude, where applicable, acquisition-related costs, acquired intangible amortization, strategic transformation initiatives, restructuring and severance costs, loss on disposal of business, eOne Film and TV business divestiture related costs and certain non-cash asset impairment costs. Also included in this press release are the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net earnings attributable to Hasbro, Inc. excluding interest expense, income tax expense, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests, depreciation and amortization of intangibles. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes strategic transformation initiatives, restructuring and severance costs, loss on disposal of business, eOne Film and TV business divestiture related costs, certain non-cash asset impairment charges and the impact of stock compensation (including acquisition-related stock expense). As required by SEC rules, we have provided reconciliations on the attached schedules of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, Adjusted operating profit and Adjusted operating margin provide investors with an understanding of the underlying performance of our business absent unusual events. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate measures for evaluating the operating performance of our business because they reflect the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, to invest in the business, strengthen the balance sheet and make strategic acquisitions. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, net earnings or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in our consolidated financial statements and filings with the SEC. As used herein, "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
