HAS Hasbro Inc

Company Reports Improved Profitability and Earnings Growth

Issues 2025 Guidance and Declares Quarterly Dividend

Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a leading games, IP, and toy company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024.

“I’m proud of our team for delivering what we promised in 2024: we grew in games and licensing, stepped up our operational efficiency, and vastly improved the performance of our toy business,” said Chris Cocks, Hasbro’s Chief Executive Officer. “In 2025, we’re excited to bring a stellar lineup of toys and games to fans, expanding the reach of our IP through outstanding partnerships while we continue to focus on operational rigor and anticipating the future of play.”

“The Hasbro team delivered our 2024 plan, significantly improved profitability and strengthened the balance sheet while continuing to invest in the business and return cash to shareholders,” said Gina Goetter, Hasbro’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. “We are optimistic about growth opportunities in 2025 and beyond as we execute our strategy behind a powerful portfolio of brands.”

Full Year 2024 Highlights

• Full year Hasbro revenue declined 17% driven primarily by the eOne divestiture; excluding this impact, revenue declined 7%. Growth of 4% in the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment was offset by declines in Consumer Products (-12%) and Entertainment (-88%, or -4%) excluding the eOne divestiture).
• Operating profit of $690 million and operating margin of 16.7% includes $149 million of costs for acquired intangible amortization, loss on disposal of business, and costs associated with the Company's transformation.
• Adjusted operating profit of $839 million (+$362 million vs. PY) and adjusted operating margin of 20.3% (+10.8 points vs. PY), driven by the lap of 2023 non-recurring inventory costs, favorable business mix and cost savings.
• Reported net earnings of $2.75 per diluted share; adjusted net earnings of $4.01 per diluted share benefiting from improved operations, business mix and tax favorability.
• Delivered $370 million of gross cost savings and $227 million of net cost savings; Hasbro owned inventory down 17% versus prior year.
• Paid $390 million in cash dividends to shareholders and reduced debt by $83 million.
• Operating cash flow of $847 million vs. $726 million in the prior year driven by improved profitability and working capital.

Full Year 2024 Segment Details

Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming Segment

• Revenue increase of 4% driven by strength in Licensed and Digital Gaming.
• MAGIC: THE GATHERING revenues decreased -1% due to the lap of the Lord of the Rings set.
• Digital and Licensed Gaming increased 22% with Monopoly Go! contributing $112 million for the full year 2024.
• Operating profit increased 20% and operating margin of 41.8% was 5.7 points higher than last year due to digital licensing revenue mix, productivity gains and lower royalty expense.

Consumer Products Segment

• Revenue decrease of -12% driven by softer volume, exited brands and reduced closeouts, offsetting growth in licensed consumer products.
• Operating margin of 4.5% and adjusted operating margin of 6.0% driven by lapping Q4 2023 non-recurring inventory costs, cost savings and supply chain productivity.

Entertainment Segment

• Revenue decline of 88% impacted by the eOne divestiture; absent this impact, revenue decreased 4% driven by the timing of the delivery of deals.
• Operating margin of -2.0% and adjusted operating margin of 61.4%.

See the financial tables accompanying the press release for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights

• Fourth quarter Hasbro, Inc. revenue declined 15%; excluding the eOne divestiture, revenue declined 3%. Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment declined 7% due to the lap of The Lord of the Rings holiday set and Consumer Products declined 1% behind reduced volume, partially offset by growth in licensed consumer products.
• Operating profit of $60 million and operating margin of 5.4% includes $53 million of costs for acquired intangible amortization, loss on disposal of business and costs associated with the Company's transformation.
• Adjusted operating profit of $113 million ($163 million vs. PY) and adjusted operating margin of 10.2% (+14.1 points vs. PY), driven by lap of Q4 2023 non-recurring items, favorable business mix and supply chain productivity.
• Reported net loss of $0.25 per share; adjusted net earnings of $0.46 per diluted share benefiting from favorable business mix and improved profitability.

2025 Company Outlook1

For the full year, the Company expects:

• Total Hasbro revenue up slightly in constant currency.
• Adjusted operating margin of 21%-22%.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 billion to $1.15 billion.

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.

Dividend Announcement

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per common share payable on March 12, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 3, 2025.

1Our guidance includes the anticipated impact of US tariffs on imports from China and potential tariffs on Mexico and Canada imports as announced on February 1, 2025, and reflects mitigating actions we plan to take including leveraging the strength of our supply chain and potential pricing. It does not reflect any further tariff actions by the US or other countries after February 1, 2025, as the impacts of such actions remain uncertain.

Adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and constant currency are non-GAAP financial measures, for more information, see below under the heading Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Forward Looking Statement Safe Harbor

Certain statements in this press release contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 implement and execute on our business strategy;
• 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 such as the use of artificial intelligence in the products and markets in which we operate;
• risks associated with the imposition or threat of tariffs, including reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs, in markets in which we operate which could increase our product costs and other costs of doing business, impact consumer spending, and lower our revenues and earnings;
• risks associated with international operations, such as: the imposition or threat of tariffs; conflict in territories in which we operate; currency conversion; currency fluctuations; quotas; shipping delays or difficulties; border adjustment taxes or other protectionist measures; and other challenges in the territories in which we operate;
• 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 losses and delays in revenue and earnings;
• 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;
• 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;
• 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;
• the success of our key partner brands, including the ability to secure, maintain and extend agreements with our key partners or the risk of delays, increased costs or difficulties associated with any of our or our partners’ planned digital applications or media initiatives;
• our ability to attract and retain talented and diverse employees, particularly following recent workforce reductions;
• our ability to realize the benefits of cost-savings and efficiency and/or revenue and operating profit enhancing initiatives;
• risks relating to the impairment and/or write-offs of businesses, products and content we acquire and/or produce;
• 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, net loss on Discovery impairment 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, net loss on Discovery impairment, 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. Constant currency is also a non-GAAP financial measure. The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the consolidated statements of operations is quantified by translating the current or future period revenues at the prior period exchange rates and comparing this amount to the prior period reported revenues. The Company believes that the presentation of the impact of changes in exchange rates, which are beyond the Company’s control, is helpful to an investor’s understanding of the performance of the underlying business. 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.
