Second Quarter 2021 Major Segment and Brand Performance

Beginning with the first quarter 2021, Hasbro realigned its financial reporting segments and business units, in order to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure. The three principal reportable segments are: Consumer Products, Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming, and Entertainment. Reclassifications of certain prior year segment results have been made to conform to the current-year presentation. None of the segment changes impact the Company's previously reported consolidated net revenue, operating profits, EBITDA, net earnings or net earnings per share.

1Hasbro's total gaming category, including all gaming revenue, most notably MAGIC: THE GATHERING and MONOPOLY, which are reported in the Franchise Brands portfolio, totaled $519.4 million for the second quarter 2021, up 63% compared to the respective period in 2020.

Revenues grew in each Brand Portfolio category. Franchise Brand revenues increased with gains in MAGIC: THE GATHERING, NERF, TRANSFORMERS, PLAY-DOH, BABY ALIVE and MY LITTLE PONY. Partner Brands revenue increased behind growth in Hasbro products for the Marvel portfolio, Lucasfilm's Star Wars and The Mandalorian, Disney Princess and Beyblade. Hasbro Gaming revenue increased versus the strong second quarter last year and versus 2019, led by DUNGEONS & DRAGONS and DUEL MASTERS, as well as the launch of FOOSKETBALL. Emerging Brands revenue was up including growth in PJ MASKS, PEPPA PIG, GI JOE, FURREAL FRIENDS and several other properties. TV/Film/Entertainment revenues grew with increased deliveries in scripted, unscripted and animated television as well as Music.

• Consumer Products segment revenue and operating profit grew behind higher revenue in Hasbro Franchise Brands NERF, TRANSFORMERS and PLAY-DOH as well as Hasbro products for Marvel and Star Wars along with several other properties. Revenue grew in all regions and in licensing. Global consumer point of sale declined mid-single digits. Point of sale for toys increased but was more than offset by a decline in games point of sale as compared to the strong games performance in the second quarter 2020. Revenue growth in the quarter delivered higher operating profit as higher revenues more than offset increased royalty and advertising expense.
• Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment revenue grew led by MAGIC: THE GATHERING and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. Wizards had two record releases in the quarter, MAGIC: THE GATHERING Strixhaven and Modern Horizons 2, as well as growth in digital gaming including the successful launch of Magic: The Gathering Arena on mobile and continued growth in DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. Operating profit increased driven by higher revenues which were partially offset by higher expenses to support new game launches, such as product development and depreciation related to game development as well as advertising.
• Entertainment segment revenue increased with growth in TV & Film, Family Brands and Music. Television revenues grew with deliveries including Cruel Summer and The Rookie among other scripted and unscripted programs. Family Brands benefited from content deals for several properties include My Little Pony, Peppa Pig and PJ Masks, as well as growth in YouTube advertising revenues. Adjusted operating profit increased on the higher revenue, partially offset by higher program cost amortization as well as administrative and royalty expenses.

eOne Music Business

The sale of the eOne Music business was completed in early fiscal third quarter 2021. The results of the eOne Music business have been included in operating results for the second quarter 2021. Proceeds from the sale, which will be reflected in third quarter results, were approximately $397 million. In anticipation of the closing of the transaction, the Company repaid $250 million of debt at the end of the second quarter, and following the completion of the transaction, an additional $100 million at the beginning of the third quarter.

Dividend

The next quarterly cash dividend of $0.68 per common share was declared on May 20, 2021 and is payable on August 16, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 2, 2021. During the second quarter, Hasbro paid $94.1 million in cash dividends to shareholders, bringing the year-to-date payments to $187.5 million.

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 earnings per diluted share, which exclude, where applicable, the 2021 impact of loss on assets held for sale and related transaction costs, income tax expense associated with the U.K. Finance Act 2021, purchased intangible amortization and stock compensation expense associated with acquisition-related grants, and for 2020, the impact of the eOne acquisition-related costs, purchased intangible amortization and restructuring charges. Also included in the financial tables are the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net earnings attributable to Hasbro, Inc. excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the impact of the charges/gains noted above, as well as non-cash stock compensation. 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 earnings per diluted share and Adjusted operating profit provides 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.
