(Unaudited)
(1) In the opinion of management and subject to year-end audit, the
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company as of September 29, 1996 and October
1, 1995, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended.
The nine months ended September 29, 1996 consisted of 39 weeks while
the nine months ended October 1, 1995 consisted of 40 weeks.
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 29, 1996,
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
(2) During the second quarter of 1995, the Company discontinued its
efforts, begun in 1992, related to the development of a mass-market virtual
reality game system. The impact of this decision on the quarter was a
pretax charge of $31,100. (See further discussion in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)
(3) Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding
during each period. Common stock equivalents include stock options and
warrants for the period prior to their exercise. Under the treasury stock
method, the unexercised options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at
the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds
are then used to purchase common stock at the average market price during
the period.
For each of the reported periods except the quarter ended September 29,
1996, the difference between primary and fully diluted earnings per share
was not significant. For the quarter ended September 29, 1996, the primary
and fully diluted earnings per share were $.81 and $.78, respectively.

NET REVENUES
- - ------------
Net revenues for the third quarter and nine months of 1996 were $845,148
and $1,895,442, respectively, up from the $826,165 and $1,834,522 reported
for the same periods of 1995. Continuing the trend experienced during the
first half of 1996, the increased volume during the quarter was primarily
attributable to growth in games and boys' toys in the United States. During
the quarter, the Company's revenues from its international operations
remained flat although absent the adverse impact of the strengthened U.S.
dollar they increased marginally. For the nine months, again absent the
impact of currency, they were essentially flat.
COST OF SALES
- - -------------
For both the quarter and nine months, the Company's gross margin
percentages showed a moderate decline. Contributing to this was the adverse
impact of excess manufacturing capacity. As the Company has moved certain
of its production requirements to lower-cost regions and contract
manufacturers, excess capacity has resulted, a situation which led to the
recently announced closing of a manufacturing facility. Also contributing
to the reduced margins was the impact of sales made at less than normal
margins. The aforementioned were partially offset by reduced prices on
certain raw material commodities, most notably plastics and paper.
EXPENSES
- - --------
Royalties, research and development expenses for both the third quarter and
nine months increased both in amount and as a percentage of net revenues.
The increase in the royalty component reflected both the Company's revenue
growth and the mix of products sold with more revenue being derived from
items carrying higher royalty rates. Research and development was $36,583
and $102,093 for the quarter and nine months of 1996, respectively,
compared with $34,576 and $102,004 for the same periods of 1995.
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company discontinued its efforts,
begun in 1992, related to the development of a mass-market virtual reality
game system. The impact of this decision on the nine months of 1995 was a
pretax charge of $31,100, the estimated costs associated with such action.
Substantially all of these costs have now been paid.
Advertising expense for both the quarter and nine months again reflected
decreases both in amount and when expressed as a percentage of net
revenues. For the third quarter and nine months of 1996, the amounts were
$116,446 and $252,893, respectively, compared with $123,537 and $261,934 in
the same periods of 1995. Expressed as a percentage of net revenues, 1996
was 13.8% and 13.3% while 1995 was 15.0% and 14.3%. The decreases in the
HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Thousands of dollars)
current year continue to reflect the lower proportion of the Company's
revenues arising from the international marketing units, which generally
have a higher advertising to sales ratio than the domestic groups.
When expressed as a percentage of net revenues, the Company's selling,
distribution and administration expenses remained relatively constant
during both the third quarter and nine months of 1996 when compared with
the same periods of 1995, although each period showed an increase in
amount. Included in this expense category for the third quarter and nine
months of 1996 is a charge of approximately $2,500 for costs associated
with the previously announced closure of the Company's Amsterdam, New York
manufacturing facility.
NONOPERATING (INCOME) EXPENSE
- - -----------------------------
Interest expense during the third quarter and nine months of 1996 decreased
from the comparable 1995 levels continuing to reflect both lower interest
rates and the Company's reduced borrowing requirements.
Other income, net, also declined during both the quarter and nine months,
again largely reflecting the lower interest rates being earned on the
Company's short-term investments.
INCOME TAXES
- - ------------
Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax earnings for the nine months
of 1996 and 1995 was 34.2% and 38.5%, respectively. The decrease in the
effective rate reflects changes in the Company's operations as well as the
impact of certain strategies implemented during 1996. These strategies
included a tax benefit amounting to $3,500 arising from certain prior year
international operating losses which are now expected to be utilized.
The lower effective tax rate for the quarter results from the impact of the
aforementioned tax benefit as well as the adjustment of first and second
quarter earnings to a lower annual tax rate.
OTHER INFORMATION
- - -----------------
During the past several years the Company has experienced a shift in its
revenue pattern wherein the second half of the year has grown in
significance to its overall business and within that half the fourth
quarter has become more prominent. The Company expects that this trend will
continue. This concentration increases the risk of (a) underproduction of
popular items, (b) overproduction of less popular items and (c) failure to
achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules. The business of the
Company is characterized by customer order patterns which vary from year to
HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Thousands of dollars)
year largely because of differences in the degree of consumer acceptance of
a product line, product availability, marketing strategies and inventory
levels of retailers and differences in overall economic conditions. Also,
more retailers are using quick response inventory management practices
which results in fewer orders being placed in advance and more orders, when
placed, for immediate delivery. As a result, comparisons of unshipped
orders on any date in a given year with those at the same date in a prior
year are not necessarily indicative of sales for the entire year. In
addition, it is a general industry practice that orders are subject to
amendment or cancellation by customers prior to shipment. At the end of its
fiscal October (October 27, 1996 and October 29, 1995) the Company's
unshipped orders were approximately $570,000 and $550,000, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------
Because of the seasonality of the Company's business coupled with certain
customer incentives, mainly in the form of extended payment terms, the
interim cash flow statements are not representative of those which may be
expected for the full year. As a result of these extended payment terms,
the majority of the Company's cash collections occur late in the fourth
quarter and early in the first quarter of the subsequent year. As
receivables are collected late in the fourth quarter and through the first
quarter of the subsequent year, cash flow from operations becomes positive
and is used to repay a significant portion of the short-term borrowings.
As a result, management believes that on an interim basis, rather than
discussing its cash flows, a better understanding of its liquidity and
capital resources can be obtained through a discussion of the various
balance sheet categories. Also, as several of the major categories,
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories and
short-term borrowings, fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter,
again due to the seasonality of its business and the extended payment terms
offered, management believes that a comparison to the comparable period in
the prior year is generally more meaningful than a comparison to the prior
year-end.
Receivables were approximately $55,000 greater than at the same time in
1995, largely reflecting the Company's increased revenues in 1996 and, when
expressed as days sales outstanding, are marginally higher than those of a
year ago. The growth in inventories which has been evident during the past
year moderated somewhat during the third quarter and reflects the Company's
plan to have product available during the increasingly important fourth
quarter. Other assets, as a group, increased from their level of a year
ago, primarily resulting from the Company's acquisitions of product rights
and licenses during the most recent twelve months, partially offset by
twelve additional months of amortization expense.
HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Thousands of dollars)
The Company attempts to keep its cash and cash equivalents at the lowest
level possible whenever it has short-term borrowings, although at times the
cash available and the borrowing requirement may be in different countries
and currencies which may make it impractical to substitute one for the
other. The Company's net borrowings (short-term borrowings less cash and
cash equivalents), at $495,383 were approximately $18,000 less than last
year. This decrease occurred even after the repurchase of approximately
2,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock during the past twelve
months. At October 27, 1996, the Company had committed unsecured lines of
credit totaling approximately $540,000 available to it. It also had
available uncommitted lines approximating $810,000. The Company believes
that these amounts are adequate for its needs. Of these available lines,
approximately $575,000 was in use at October 27, 1996.
RECENT EVENT
- - ------------
As a part of its continuing focus on becoming a more global entity, the
Company recently created two groups who will support its global brand
marketing emphasis, while focusing the sales effort regionally. The first,
a brands and product development group who will be responsible for the
strategic marketing, management and development of all the Company's brands
- - - both games and toys - with a global perspective. This group will be
headed by Virginia Kent, formerly General Manager of Boys and Girls Toys.
The second, an organization of regional sales and marketing teams who will
help leverage brands, coordinate promotional activities and better serve
customers around the world by focusing on their local market needs. This
responsibility was split into three regions: The Americas, Europe
(including the Middle East and Africa) and Asia/Pacific. E. David Wilson,
formerly President of the Hasbro Games Group, will head the Americas,
Norman Walker will continue with the European activities and a new head of
Asia/Pacific will be named in the future. Both of these groups will report
to the President of Global Marketing and Sales, a position for which the
Company is actively recruiting.
