PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a global branded entertainment leader, today reported financial results for the first quarter 2023.

• First quarter revenues of $1.00 billion declined 14% year-over-year, or 13% on a constant currency basis.
  • MAGIC: THE GATHERING revenue increases 16% Year-Over-Year
• First quarter operating profit of $17.9 million and adjusted operating profit of $47.2 million.
• First quarter net loss of $22.1 million, or a net loss of $0.16 per share, and adjusted net income of $1.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.
• Company realizes $35 million in Operational Excellence program cost savings year-to-date. Reaffirms guidance for $150 million run-rate savings for full-year 2023.

"First quarter results came in ahead of our expectations and position Hasbro to meet our full-year financial targets," said Chris Cocks, Hasbro chief executive officer. "Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming delivered strong fan engagement. Segment revenues increased 12%, including a 16% revenue increase in MAGIC: THE GATHERING, behind the successful release of Phyrexia: All Will Be One. Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves delivered strong critical and audience reviews pointing to a promising long life including home entertainment and streaming, while also introducing our newest Franchise Brand to tens of millions of new fans around the world and positioning DUNGEONS & DRAGONS for robust full-year growth.

"We've made significant progress in implementing our Blueprint 2.0 strategy, including heightening our focus on high-growth, high-profit categories; improving our cost structure; and adding talented executives to our leadership team. The sale process for the eOne TV and film assets is ongoing and we expect to provide an update during the second quarter," said Cocks. "The global Hasbro team continues to execute our strategy to unlock the value of our rich IP library across our growth priorities including in gaming, direct-to-consumer and licensing."

"The year has started on plan as we reduce retail inventory levels and remain positioned to drive continued margin expansion. As we work through our inventory, we continue to invest in our growth priorities, reduce costs, and return cash to shareholders," said Deborah Thomas, Hasbro chief financial officer. "The first quarter is the smallest quarter of the year, and there is a lot of the year ahead of us. The team is advancing our cost savings and taking strategic steps to drive long-term shareholder value. With my upcoming retirement and transition on May 18, I believe Hasbro is well positioned with an experienced leadership team and a strong strategic and financial plan for the future."

1Effective in the first quarter of 2023, the Company realigned its Brand Portfolios to Franchise Brands, Partner Brands, Portfolio Brands and Non-Hasbro Branded Film & TV. Franchise Brands include DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, Hasbro Gaming, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, NERF, PEPPA PIG, PLAY-DOH and TRANSFORMERS. A schedule of historical quarterly revenue is available at https://investor.hasbro.com/ under Financials & Filings.

Within Franchise Brands, NERF, Hasbro Gaming, PLAY-DOH and PEPPA PIG declined in the quarter as retailers focused on reducing inventory levels.

Hasbro Total Gaming1		386.5			378.8		2	%
1Hasbro’s Total Gaming Category includes all gaming revenue, most notably MAGIC: THE GATHERING, Hasbro Gaming and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS.

MAGIC: THE GATHERING's first quarter revenues increased 16%. Strong player demand led to higher-than-expected performance for the first quarter release of Phyrexia: All Will Be One. Back catalog sales of previously released sets continue to perform. Modern Horizons 2, released in June 2021, officially became the game's first $200 million set in the first quarter. Universes Beyond Warhammer 40K hit its fourth reprint on strong continuing demand and the newest Universes Beyond set, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth, debuted with record pre-orders in March for a late second quarter release. As previously communicated, we expect MAGIC: THE GATHERING revenue to decline in the second quarter based on year-over-year release timing. Third quarter revenue is expected to increase on a strong release slate and robust ongoing demand for the game. Organized play, i.e., in person tournaments, also continues to build with the second MagicCon of the year slated for May 5-7 in Minneapolis following a successful event in Philadelphia in February.

Company Outlook

Reflecting on the current environment and an expected flat to declining toy and game market in 2023, the Company's full-year 2023 guidance remains:

• Revenue down low-single digits
• Adjusted operating profit margin expansion of 50 to 70 basis points, excluding Operational Excellence charges and other non-GAAP items¹
• Adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $4.45 to $4.55
• Adjusted EBITDA approximately flat with 2022 Adjusted EBITDA
• Operating cash flow in the range of $600 to $700 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 potential sale of select entertainment assets. The Company plans to update its outlook upon completion of this process if it results in the sale of non-core entertainment assets.

Operational Excellence Program
In support of Blueprint 2.0, Hasbro implemented an Operational Excellence program to deliver $250-300 million in annualized run-rate cost savings by year-end 2025. In the first quarter 2023, the Company realized an additional $35 million of savings and still expects to achieve $150 million in run-rate cost savings for the full-year 2023. Expected cash costs to implement the program are approximately $200 million, of which $17.1 million was spent in the first quarter and approximately $167 million remains to be spent. An $8.1 million after-tax charge was recorded in first quarter 2023 associated with the execution of the Blueprint 2.0 strategy.

First Quarter 2023 Segment Commentary & 2023 Outlook

Consumer Products segment revenues decreased 23%.

• Revenue decreased 21% excluding a negative $8.3 million impact of foreign exchange, $6.2 million of which was in Europe.
• Revenue declines reflect the Company's efforts to lower retail inventory levels.
• The segment's decline in adjusted operating profit is the result of lower revenue, including higher allowances and close outs to sell through inventory. These items were partially offset by savings realized from the Company’s Operational Excellence program, reflected primarily in cost of sales.
• For the full year 2023, revenue is expected to decline mid-single digits from full-year 2022 with adjusted operating profit margin improvement of 150 to 200 basis points from the adjusted 7.6% in 2022.

Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment revenues increased 12%.

• Revenues increased 14% excluding a negative $3.1 million impact of foreign exchange.
• Tabletop gaming revenue increased 13%. Digital and licensed gaming revenue increased 9%, bolstered by the addition of D&D Beyond. Underlying demand for both MAGIC: THE GATHERING and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS remains robust.
• Operating profit declined 28% due to investments in product development and personnel, higher product cost, advertising expense and costs supporting the return of organized play.
• Second quarter revenues are expected to decline year-over-year for the segment based on MAGIC release timing which favors the third quarter. Third quarter revenues are also expected to be buoyed by the anticipated release of the D&D branded AAA video game, Baldur’s Gate 3, in August on consoles and PC.
• For the full year 2023, we expect mid-single digit revenue growth. Operating profit margin is expected to be in the high 30% range as we continue to build on the Universes Beyond franchise and invest for long-term growth in these valuable brands.

Entertainment segment revenue decreased 19%.

• Revenues declined 17% excluding a negative $4.3 million impact of foreign exchange.
• Film & TV revenue declined 11% reflecting lower film revenues with fewer new releases in 2023 vs. 2022 and lower unscripted TV revenue. TV revenues increased behind continued strong scripted TV deliveries, including the new series The Rookie: Feds.
• Family Brands revenue declined 27% primarily due to content sales timing year-over-year with several multi-year licensing deals executed in Q1 2022.
• Music and Other declined as the Company exited these businesses in late 2022.
• Adjusted operating loss was the result of lower revenues, as well as higher advertising for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves partially offset by lower royalty expense.
• For the full-year 2023, we expect revenue to increase low-single digits and adjusted operating profit margin is expected to increase slightly from 8.6% in 2022. Guidance will be updated upon completion of the sale process of our non-core entertainment assets.

Capital Priorities and Dividend
During the first quarter, Hasbro paid $96.7 million in cash dividends to shareholders. The next dividend of $0.70 per common share was previously declared and will be payable on May 15, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2023.

The Company continues to target Debt to EBITDA of 2.0 to 2.5 times. For 2023, progress is expected against this target. Pending the outcome of the sale of non-core film and TV assets, the Company anticipates prioritizing the sale proceeds toward paying down debt. The Company remains committed to maintaining its investment grade rating.

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 Blueprint 2.0 strategy, including to focus on and scale select business initiatives and brands to drive profitability;
• our ability to design, develop, manufacture, and ship products on a timely, cost-effective and profitable basis;
• our ability to successfully compete in the global play and entertainment industry;
• our ability to successfully evolve and transform our business and capabilities to successfully address the global consumer landscape;
• 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;

• risks related to other 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, or outbreaks of 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;

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; and Operational Excellence 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. Segment EBITDA represents segment operating profit (loss) plus other income or expense, less depreciation and amortization of intangibles. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes Operational Excellence 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.
