Insights

Hasbro's Q1 2024 financials reflect a highly strategic period of adjustment, with the impact of the eOne divestiture significantly coloring the revenue figures. The reported 24% decline in revenue underscores the extent to which Hasbro's operations have been streamlined, although it's important to unpack the organic decline of 9% excluding that divestiture. A bright spot is the 7% revenue increase in the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment, highlighting the resilient demand for Hasbro's gaming offerings. The hefty 53% cut in inventory is indicative of a leaner operational model, potentially improving cash flow and reducing warehousing costs.

The substantial rise in adjusted operating profit and margin — up $101.4 million and 14.9 points respectively — signals improved cost management and a favorable business mix. However, investors should remain cognizant of how volume declines in the Consumer Products segment could affect future profitability, given the sector's struggle against broader industry trends. The $97.2 million in dividends paid is a testament to Hasbro's commitment to returning value to shareholders, yet the revised dividend schedule suggests a strategic pivot towards enhancing capital management practices.

The declination in revenue within Hasbro's Consumer Products segment is reflective of broader market trends where toy and game companies face headwinds such as shifting consumer preferences and the pullback from closeout sales. Despite this, the rise in the Entertainment segment by 65% — driven by PEPPA PIG content — demonstrates the effectiveness of Hasbro's brand management and content delivery strategies. Even though the divestiture of eOne's Film and TV assets contributed to a stark 85% revenue decline on paper, the recalibrated focus on high-growth areas can be interpreted as a pivot towards a more sustainable revenue model in the long term.

While the short-term revenue shrinkage may cause concern, the reported improvements in operating efficiencies and cost management are promising signs for future profitability. It's essential for investors to calibrate their expectations, recognizing that Hasbro's transition towards a leaner, more digitally-focused operation, especially with the indicated $750 million gross savings target by end of 2025, may impart a period of adjustment before the full benefits are realized.

2024 Company Outlook¹

For the full year, the Company maintains annual guidance and continues to expect:

Consumer Products Segment revenue down 7% to 12% with 4 points of the decline coming from businesses shifting to an out-license model; Operating margin 4% to 6%.
Wizards of the Coast Segment revenue down 3% to 5%; Operating margin 38% to 40%.
Pro-Forma Entertainment segment revenue down $15 million; Adjusted operating margin of approximately 60%.
Total Hasbro, Inc Adjusted EBITDA of $925M to $1B.
Gross savings target to $750M 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 profit 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 first quarter, the Company paid $97.2 million in cash dividends to shareholders. As previously announced, the next dividend will be payable on May 15, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2024. In 2024, to align with industry best practice, the Company expects future dividend declarations will be made closer to the record date.

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 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 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 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;

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-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 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. 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.
