PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a global play and entertainment company, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2022, including growth in revenues, operating profit, net earnings and EBITDA.

"The Hasbro team delivered strong second quarter results, driving mid-single digit revenue growth absent foreign exchange and 200 basis points of adjusted operating margin expansion," said Chris Cocks, Hasbro chief executive officer. "Wizards of the Coast turned in its biggest quarter ever, led by 15% growth in tabletop gaming and 11% growth in MAGIC: THE GATHERING across platforms. We also significantly enhanced our digital play and direct-to-fan capabilities with the acquisition of D&D Beyond which will serve as an important growth driver for Hasbro's industry leading fantasy gaming portfolio.

"We are making significant progress in our strategic plan review and are identifying and realizing cost savings across the business," continued Cocks. "Our teams are driving focus and scale in gaming, multi-generational brands and direct to consumer. Backed by Hasbro's unmatched portfolio of brands and brand-building capabilities, we have confidence in the strength of our initiatives for the second half and we are positioned to deliver profitable growth and long-term shareholder returns."

"In the first half of the year, we took significant steps to secure inventory to help ensure product availability for upcoming product launches, major entertainment releases and the holiday season," said Deborah Thomas, Hasbro chief financial officer. "Foreign exchange is impacting our top line revenue growth, but our teams are executing well to meet demand and drive profit. We successfully closed an acquisition supporting a key growing brand, returned cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases and anticipate higher operating cash generation in the second half of the year as our major new innovations and entertainment-driven initiatives come to market."

1Reconciliations are included in the attached schedules under the heading "Reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Profit" and “Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.”

Consumer Products segment revenues increased 7%. Revenue increased 9% excluding a negative $19.1 million impact of foreign exchange, $14.9 million of which was in Europe.

• North America and Latin America posted positive revenue growth, offsetting declines in Europe, which was up slightly absent foreign exchange, and a 3% decline in Asia Pacific, which was up 1% absent foreign exchange.
• The segment's decline in adjusted operating profit primarily reflects higher product and freight costs partially offset by price increases implemented during the second quarter.
• To help ensure higher in-stock levels at retail, during the first half of 2022 inventory was purchased earlier than the traditional time frame. Inventory is of high quality and supply is well positioned to meet demand.
• For the full-year, we expect revenue growth in the segment in the low-single digits, on a constant currency basis. Operating profit margin is expected to be in line to slightly up from last year's 10.1% level.

Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment revenues increased 3%. Revenues increased 5% excluding a negative $8.2 million impact of foreign exchange.

• Tabletop revenues grew 15% led by MAGIC: THE GATHERING.
• Digital and licensed gaming declined 36% based on release timing and reflecting the difficult comparison with the launch of Dark Alliance and Magic: The Gathering Arena mobile last year.
• Operating profit of $225.6 million was 53.7% of revenue and reflects continued significant investments in Wizards of the Coast brands, as well as higher paper and freight costs. These costs were more than offset by lower launch-related product development, advertising and depreciation costs associated with Dark Alliance released in early third quarter 2021. We continue to invest in digital gaming initiatives and talent to support long-term growth in the segment.
• For the full-year, on a constant currency basis, we expect high single-digit to low double-digit revenue growth with operating profit margin down slightly from 42.5% in full-year 2021 as we continue investing in growing these valuable brands.

Entertainment segment revenue decreased 18%, or a decline of 16% excluding a negative $5.4 million impact of foreign exchange.

• Excluding $33.4 million of revenue from the music business which was sold at the beginning of the third quarter last year, entertainment segment revenue declined 4%.
• Film & TV revenue declined 10%, primarily related to the delivery timing of scripted TV series, including Cruel Summer season 1 delivered in the second quarter 2021. Deliveries of The Rookie Season 4 partially offset this decline, as did growth in film revenues and unscripted TV revenues in the quarter.
  • Third quarter deliveries are expected to include Cruel Summer Season 2, the first delivery of episodes for The Rookie: Feds, and episodes of The Rookie Season 5.
  • TV deliveries of Fear The Walking Dead and Yellowjackets are both expected to be more significant deliveries in fourth quarter 2022 versus third quarter last year.
  • For third quarter 2022, we plan to deliver 32 half-hours of scripted TV versus 28 last third quarter.
  • Third quarter 2021 included film deliveries of Finch and Come From Away direct to streaming services, with the majority of revenue recorded in the quarter. Film deliveries planned for third quarter 2022 are slated for theatrical release, which will result in revenues being recognized over a longer period.
• Family Brands revenue declined $3.3 million from the negative impact of foreign exchange as well as the timing of deliveries and lower YouTube revenues.
  • Second half 2022 deliveries are expected to include Peppa Pig and PJ Masks to SVOD platforms in China as well as deliveries of My Little Pony: Make Your Mark and Power Rangers Dino Fury content to Netflix.
  • Third quarter 2021 included the delivery of the My Little Pony: A New Generation feature film to Netflix. There is no comparable film expected to be delivered in the third quarter 2022.
• Film & TV and Family Brands revenue up 2% year-to-date, respectively.
• Music and Other revenue declined 61% in the quarter following the sale of the music business last year, which was partially offset by revenue growth from the return to live events at Round Room.
• Adjusted operating profit increased more than 100%. Newly acquired titles delivered better profit than the prior year, amortization declined on lower deliveries year-over-year and expenses were down. This was partially offset by the sale of the music business last year.
• Excluding the 2021 results from the music business, for the full-year, on a constant currency basis, we continue to expect underlying revenue growth in the mid-single digits and adjusted operating profit margin to outpace revenue growth and deliver margin expansion.

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, as well as 2021 losses on the music sale and charges from UK tax reform. 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 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.
