25 Jul, 2024

Company Reports Growth in Profit and EPS in the Quarter and Raises Full Year Guidance
Declares Quarterly Dividend

PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 25, 2024-- Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a leading toy and game company, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2024.

"We delivered a solid performance in games and digital licensing and substantial margin improvement this quarter,” said Chris Cocks, Hasbro Chief Executive Officer. “Hasbro is emerging as a more profitable, agile, and operationally excellent company delighting fans of all ages through the magic of play."

"We continued to make meaningful progress in our turnaround for Consumer Products in the second quarter," said Gina Goetter, Hasbro Chief Financial Officer. “The Hasbro team remains focused on back half execution and delivering on our updated full year commitments.”

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Second quarter Hasbro, Inc. revenue declined 18% driven primarily by the eOne divestiture; excluding the divestiture, revenue declined 6%. Growth of 20% in the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment was offset by declines in Consumer Products (-20%) and Entertainment (-90%, or -30%, excluding the eOne divestiture).
  • Operating profit of $212 million and operating margin of 21.3% includes $37 million of intangible amortization associated with eOne, loss on disposal of business and costs associated with the Company's transformation.
  • Adjusted operating profit of $249 million (+$112 million vs. PY) and adjusted operating margin of 25.0% (+13.7 points vs. PY), driven by favorable business mix, supply chain productivity and reduced operating costs.
  • Delivered $40 million of net cost savings and approximately $90 million year to date; on track for full-year net savings commitment.
  • Hasbro owned inventory down 51% versus prior year, including a 55% decline in Consumer Products inventory versus the second quarter 2023.
  • Reported net earnings of $0.99 per diluted share; adjusted net earnings of $1.22 per diluted share benefiting from favorable business mix and improved operations.
  • Company raises full year guidance.
  • Paid $97 million in cash dividends to shareholders in the quarter.

Second Quarter 2024 Segment Details

  • Consumer Products Segment
    • Revenue decrease of 20% driven by shifts in entertainment timing, planned business exits and reduced closeouts; growth in Consumer Products Licensing (+11%) in the quarter.
    • Operating margin of -1.8% and adjusted operating margin of -0.1% behind supply chain cost productivity and reduced operating expenses partially offsetting the volume deleverage.
    • FURBY, PLAY-DOH and G.I. JOE performed well in the quarter; momentum building for 2H innovation in Beyblade and TRANSFORMERS entertainment.
  • Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming Segment
    • Revenue increase of 20% driven by the launch of MAGIC'S Modern Horizons 3 set and continued strength in Licensed and Digital Gaming revenue behind Monopoly Go!, Baldur's Gate 3 and a benefit from an international publishing deal.
    • Tabletop revenue increased 3% behind growth in MAGIC: THE GATHERING.
    • Operating profit increased 74% and operating profit margin of 54.7% due to higher digital licensing revenue mix of revenues and lower royalty expense.
  • Entertainment Segment
    • Revenue decline of 90% impacted by the sale of eOne Film and TV in December 2023; absent this impact, revenue declined 30% driven by the timing of the delivery of deals.
    • Operating loss of $1 million compared to operating loss of $324 million in the second quarter 2023.
    • Adjusted operating profit of $18 million compared to adjusted operating loss of $21 million in the second quarter 2023.

Year to Date 2024 Highlights

  • Year to date Hasbro revenue declined 21% driven primarily by the eOne film and television divestiture; excluding the divestiture, revenue declined 7%.

  • Adjusted operating profit of $397 million (+$213 million vs. PY) and adjusted operating margin of 22.7% (+14.4 points vs. PY), driven by favorable business mix, lower royalty expense, supply chain productivity and reduced operating costs.
  • Reported net earnings of $1.41 per diluted share; adjusted net earnings of $1.83 per diluted share benefiting from improved operations, favorability from a stock compensation adjustment taken in Q1 and net interest expense reduction.
  • Operating cash flow of $365 million vs. $119 million in the prior year driven by improved operating results and favorable timing.

Year to Date 2024 Segment Details

  • Consumer Products Segment
    • Revenue decrease of 20% driven by business exits, reduced closeouts and entertainment timing.
    • Operating margin of -6.0% and adjusted operating margin of -4.1%; cost savings and productivity gains more than offset by volume declines.
  • Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming Segment
    • Revenue increase of 15% driven by growth in MAGIC: THE GATHERING and strength in Licensed and Digital Gaming.
    • Tabletop revenue increased 4% behind growth in MAGIC: THE GATHERING.
    • Operating profit increased 69% and operating profit margin of 48.1% due to higher digital licensing revenue mix of revenues and lower royalty expense.
  • Entertainment Segment
    • Revenue decline of 87% impacted by the sale of eOne Film and TV; absent this impact, revenue increased $1 million driven by the timing of the delivery of deals.
    • Operating profit of $5 million compared to operating loss of $333 million year to date 2023.

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 7% to 11%; Adjusted operating margin 4% to 6%.
  • Wizards of the Coast Segment revenue down 1% to 3%; 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 second quarter, the Company paid $97 million in cash dividends to shareholders. The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per common share payable on September 4, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 21, 2024.

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 execute on our business strategy and transformation initiatives;
  • our ability to successfully compete in the play industry and further develop our digital gaming and licensing business;
  • our ability to transform our business and capabilities to address the changing global consumer landscape;
  • 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 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 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;
  • risks related to our leadership changes;
  • 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, Operational Excellence and Blueprint 2.0 implementation charges; and certain non-cash asset impairment charges. 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 Operational Excellence and Blueprint 2.0 implementation charges, 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.
