Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) 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; products, gaming and entertainment; anticipated cost savings; expected debt repayments; expected impact of newly issued accounting pronouncements; and financial targets. 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;

•risks associated with the imposition, threat, or uncertainty 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, result in higher prices of our products, impact consumer spending, lower our revenues and earnings and otherwise have an adverse impact on our business;

•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 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, fluctuating 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, reduced purchasing power or less discretionary income, 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, which include the risks associated with increased tariffs imposed by China and the U.S., 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;
