Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:HAS), the brand responsible for iconic games like Monopoly, Jenga, Magic: The Gathering, saw its shares tick upwards over 3% in pretrading on Wednesday.

While sales have been notably down for toy and gaming companies, Hasbro has managed to offset some of the volatility due to financial strains and tariffs. 'While tariffs represent a headwind for the business, we are compensating for these costs through a combination of cost reductions, rebalancing our marketing spend, diversifying our supplier mix and implementing some targeted pricing actions,' Hasbro's CEO, Chris Cocks, said on the company's earnings call, per CNBC.

Hasbro beats second-quarter expectations as gaming division offsets tariff-fueled toy slump
Toy and gaming giant Hasbro topped Wall Street expectations for the second quarter as strength in its digital gaming division helped offset continued weaknesses in its traditional toy business, weighed down by the impact of tariffs. "While tariffs represent a headwind for the business," Hasbro's CEO Chris Cocks said on the company's earnings call. "We are compensating for these costs through a combination of cost reductions, rebalancing our marketing spend, diversifying our supplier mix and implementing some targeted pricing actions." Shares fell roughly 4% in Wednesday morning trading. Here's how the company performed in the quarter ended June 29 compared to what Wall Street was expecting. The toy company reported a net loss of $855.8 million, or $6.10 per share, for the period, compared with net income of $138.5 million, or 99 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago. Hasbro attributed the loss to a $1 billion goodwill impairment related to its consumer products segment and the impact of tariffs. Overall revenue declined 1% from the same quarter last year, but the company's gaming division continued to outperform. Wizards of the Coast and digital gaming brought in $522.4 million in sales, up 16% year over year. Hasbro cited strong demand for Magic: The Gathering and Monopoly Go! "This isn't just a one-off moment. It's a clear indication of the power of Magic's community," Cocks said. "Magic is stronger than ever, and we're just getting started." Meanwhile, the company's consumer products segment saw revenue fall 16% to $442.4 million, pressured by "anticipated softness in Toys driven by retailer order timing and geographic volatility," Hasbro said in the release. Revenue in the entertainment segment dropped 15% to $16 million. Hasbro raised its full-year guidance and now expects mid-single-digit revenue growth, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of between $1.17 billion and $1.2 billion, and adjusted operating margins of 22% to 23%.

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, result in goodwill impairments, reduce earnings and otherwise have an adverse impact on our business;

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 transform our business and capabilities to address the changing global consumer landscape, including evolving demographics for our products and advancements in emerging technologies, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our product development, marketing strategies, business operations and consumer engagement, and the associated risks such as ethical concerns, evolving regulatory standards, implementation challenges, and third-party dependencies; 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;

The statements contained herein are based on our current beliefs and expectations. We undertake no obligation to make any revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this press release or to update them to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this press release. 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 operating margin, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which exclude, where applicable, acquired intangible amortization, strategic transformation initiatives, restructuring and severance costs, loss on disposal of business, eOne Film and TV business divestiture related costs, and non-cash goodwill 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 strategic transformation initiatives, restructuring and severance costs, loss on disposal of business, eOne Film and TV business divestiture related costs, non-cash goodwill impairment charges, and the impact of 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 net earnings per diluted share, Adjusted operating profit and Adjusted operating margin 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 Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted operating 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. Constant currency is also a non-GAAP financial measure. The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the consolidated statements of operations is quantified by translating the current or future 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. HAS-E (Tables Attached) HASBRO, INC.

HAS Q2 Earnings on Deck: Will Consumer Product Drag Its Results?
Hasbro, Inc. HAS is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2025 results on July 23, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company's earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 55.2%. How Are Estimates Placed? The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 78 cents per share, indicating a decline of 36.1% from the $1.22 reported a year ago. (See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.)For revenues, the consensus estimate is pegged at $873 million, implying a decline of 12.3% from the prior-year quarter's reported figure. Let us delve deeper. Factors to Note Ahead of HAS' Q2 Results Hasbro's fiscal second-quarter top line is likely to have been weighed down by a combination of macroeconomic uncertainty and tariff-related disruptions, particularly within its Consumer Products segment. While demand remained stable for brands like MAGIC and Monopoly Go!, Hasbro anticipates a slowdown in direct import activity, which might have dampened revenue growth in the quarter. Additionally, ongoing SKU rationalization and strategic portfolio trimming are likely to have constrained top-line model predicts total Consumer Products revenues to decline 23.6% year over year to $400.9 million. On the other hand, total Wizards of the Coast & Digital Gaming and Entertainment revenues are likely to increase 2.1% and 1%, respectively, year over year to $461.4 million and $19 million. Hasbro has been witnessing strong gaming demand. The company boasts a comprehensive gaming portfolio and is refining gaming experiences across multiple platforms, including face-to-face gaming, tabletop gaming and digital gaming on mobile. On the bottom line, Hasbro has faced mounting margin pressure from rising input costs tied to tariff exposure and supply-chain shifts. The company expects an estimated gross impact of $100 million to $300 million for the year from tariffs, with $60 million to $180 million potentially hitting net profits even after mitigation efforts. To offset these pressures, Hasbro has accelerated cost-saving initiatives and optimized sourcing, but near-term expenses related to logistics, manufacturing diversification and royalty increases in its Wizards segment are likely to have compressed operating margins in second-quarter 2025.
