Games and Digital Drive Strong Adjusted Profit and Margin Growth

Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS), a leading toy and game company, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2023.

"Our third quarter results highlight the strength of Hasbro's diversified toy and game portfolio and the progress we have made on our transformation," said Chris Cocks, Hasbro chief executive officer. "Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming delivered a standout performance across strength in MAGIC: THE GATHERING and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, particularly the blockbuster August release of Baldur's Gate III. We are taking action to address the tougher macro environment across Toys and Entertainment and are positioning the Company to return to profitable growth. Building on the strategy we outlined a year ago, we're growing share behind our Franchise Brands in core categories, driving savings and investment capacity through operational excellence, and building new growth for the Company across games, direct to consumer and licensing. With the upcoming sale of the eOne Film and TV business, we are refocusing our Company on what has traditionally made us great, the business of play.

"We believe in the long-term growth potential of toys and are leaning in. Our plan for Q4 is to drive share over the holiday, exit the year with clean inventory, a much-improved corporate overhead, and a clear runway for introducing new product innovation and go to market support in the quarters ahead."

"We are making good progress on our transformation and the work we have done to date has positioned us well to grow our world-class gaming portfolio and strengthen our Toy business," said Gina Goetter, Hasbro chief financial officer. "We continue to make progress in lowering inventory levels and are on track to meet our long-term gross cost savings goals earlier than expected.

"Although the impact of the broader Toy category declines has changed our Consumer Products and total Hasbro outlook, we are growing share in the categories where we compete and beginning to see the benefits of our cost savings initiatives play through the P&L. Resetting our cost base and removing complexity will help ensure we are well positioned as we sharpen our innovation pipeline for 2024 and 2025."

Highlights

Q3 Hasbro, Inc. revenue declined 10% with significant growth in Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment (+40%) not able to offset the declines in Consumer Products (-18%) and Entertainment (-42%).
Wizards of the Coast revenue growth driven by the success of licensed digital games Baldur's Gate III and Monopoly Go! which drove $63 million of incremental revenue in Q3.
Consumer Product revenue decline result of exited licenses and softer category trends; share increased across four of the five focus categories.
Operating profit loss of $169.5 million; Adjusted operating profit of $342.6 million; Adjusted operating profit margin of 22.8% was +6.7 margin points ahead of last year due to the mix benefit from the growth in licensed digital games and cost savings outpacing inflation.
Adjusted results exclude the pre-tax impact of loss on assets held for sale of $473 million related to the planned sale of the eOne Film and TV business.
On track to deliver approximately $200 million of gross cost savings in 2023 as part of Operational Excellence initiative.
Reduced owned inventory 27%, including a 34% decline in Consumer Products inventory.
Updated 2023 guidance reflects impact of lower revenue outlook for Consumer Products segment; no change to outlook for Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming or Entertainment segments.
Sale of eOne Film and TV business on track to close by year end.

Consumer Products Segment

Adjusted operating profit margin of 11.2% declined -1.4 margin points versus last year driven by product mix and higher cost to move inventory.

Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming Segment

A schedule of historical quarterly revenue is available at https://investor.hasbro.com/ under Financials & Filings.

Franchise Brands

Franchise Brands revenue increased 8% in the quarter driven by digital and tabletop growth for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, Hasbro Gaming, and TRANSFORMERS products.

Partner Brands

Total Partner Brand revenue was down -35% in the quarter due to license exits, general industry softness, and lapping strong entertainment slate last year.

Portfolio Brands

Total Portfolio Brands revenue was down -19% in the quarter driven by the ongoing reprioritization of investment to support Franchise Brands, as well as transitioning select brands to a licensing model.
Relaunch of FURBY positively contributed to the quarter and is among Top Toy Lists and awards for the holiday season.

Capital Priorities and Dividend

During the third quarter and year-to-date, Hasbro paid $97 million and $291 million, respectively, in cash dividends to shareholders. The next dividend of $0.70 per common share was previously declared and will be payable on November 15, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2023.

The Company continues to target Debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.0 to 2.5 times. Pending the outcome of the sale of the eOne Film and TV business, the Company anticipates prioritizing the sale proceeds toward paying down debt. The Company remains committed to maintaining its investment grade rating.

Operational Excellence Program

In support of Hasbro's Blueprint 2.0 strategy, Hasbro implemented an Operational Excellence program to deliver $250-$300 million in annualized gross cost savings by year-end 2025. Year-to-date 2023, the Company realized $154 million of gross savings and is on track to achieve over $200 million of in-year gross cost savings for the full-year 2023. Expected cash costs to implement the program are approximately $200 million, of which $65 million was spent year-to-date 2023 and $82 million in total since the program launch. A $6.4 million after-tax charge was recorded in the third quarter 2023 associated with the execution of the program.

Company Outlook

The outlook incorporates the impact of the broader Toy category declines, which is impacting the Consumer Product Segment. The guidance continues to assume eOne Film and TV is included for the entire fiscal year and guidance will be updated once the eOne Film and TV sale transaction is complete.

The Company now expects:

Revenue decline of 13 - 15% driven by softer toy outlook in Consumer Products.
- Reducing Consumer Product guidance to down mid- to high-teens versus last year.
- No change to Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming Segment of up high-single digits.
- No change to Entertainment segment to down 25 - 30%.
Adjusted operating margin of 13.0% - 13.5%¹.
Adjusted EBITDA of $900 - $950 million¹.
Operating Cash Flow of $500 - $600 million.

¹The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share 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. Guidance does not reflect the announced sale of select entertainment assets. The Company plans to update its outlook upon completion of the transaction.

our ability to successfully compete in the play and entertainment industry;
our ability to successfully evolve and transform our business and capabilities to address the global consumer landscape;

risks relating to our ability to successfully complete the announced sale of the eOne Film and Television business, including uncertainty as to whether the transaction will be completed in a timely manner or at all; the conditions precedent to completion of the transaction will be satisfied; risks of unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; the effect of ongoing actors' strikes; and the effect of the announcement, pendency or consummation of the transaction on customers, employees, actors, writers, producers and operating results;
inflation and downturns in global and regional economic conditions impacting one or more of the markets in which we sell products, which can negatively impact our retail customers and consumers, result in lower employment levels, consumer disposable income, retailer inventories and spending, including lower spending on purchases of our products;
our dependence on third party relationships, including with third party manufacturers, licensors of brands, studios, content producers and entertainment distribution channels;
the risk that any prolonged strike by, or lockout of, one or more of the unions that provide personnel essential to the production of films or television programs, such as the ongoing strike by the actors' unions, could delay or halt our ongoing development, production and distribution activities; halts or delays, depending on the length of time, could cause a delay or interruption in our release of new films and television programs, which could impact our entertainment business;
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 related to 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, higher commodity prices, labor costs or transportation costs, the coronavirus or other 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;
risks associated with international operations, such as conflict in territories in which we operate, currency conversion, currency fluctuations, the imposition 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;

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. We may not achieve a successful or timely sale of non-core assets;
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 tax laws or regulations, or the interpretation and application of such laws and regulations, which may cause us to alter tax reserves or make other changes which significantly impact our reported financial results;
the impact of litigation or arbitration decisions or settlement actions;
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;
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 net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which exclude, where applicable, acquisition and 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 (loss) 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 and Adjusted operating profit 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. The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the consolidated statements of operations is quantified by translating the current 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.
