These “forward-looking statements” may relate to matters such as: our business and marketing strategies; anticipated financial performance or business prospects in future periods; relationships with business partners, customers and suppliers; purchasing patterns of our customers and consumers; expected technological and product developments; the expected timing for scheduled new product introductions or our expectations concerning the future acceptance of products by customers; expected benefits and plans relating to acquired brands, properties and businesses; the development and timing of planned digital gaming products, consumer products and entertainment releases; adapting to changes in the methods of product and content distribution; marketing and promotional efforts; research and development activities; management of supply and inventory; expectations related to our manufacturing; impact of public health conditions; adequacy of our properties; expected benefits and cost-savings resulting from the Company’s Operational Excellence Program; expected benefits and cost-savings from certain restructuring actions and divestiture of non-core businesses or assets; capital expenditures; working capital; liquidity; timing of and amount of repayment of indebtedness; capital allocation strategy, including plans for dividends and share repurchases; and other financial, tax, accounting and similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “looking forward,” “may,” “planned,” “potential,” “should,” “will” and “would” or any variations of words with similar meanings. We note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed or anticipated in our forward-looking statements. The factors listed in the risk factors below and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K are illustrative and other risks and uncertainties may arise as are or may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K. We undertake no obligation to make any revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K or in our annual report to shareholders to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of the filing of this report.

RISK FACTORS SUMMARY

We are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These include strategic, operational, global economic, financial, governmental, regulatory and legal risks related to our business. Risks that we deem material are described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Strategic Risks

• We may not successfully implement and execute our business strategy and transformation initiatives.

• Consumer interests change quickly, making it difficult to develop innovative and successful products and entertainment. Consumers may prefer the products and games offered by our competitors to those we offer, harming our business and results.

• A key to our future success will be our ability to further develop our digital gaming business.

• Changes in viewing behaviors and formats in the entertainment industry may harm our business.

• We may lose rights to existing partner brands or fail to secure such rights in the future.

• Our third-party licenses may not be profitable and generate significant revenues or royalties for us if licensed material does not achieve sufficient market appeal.

• The industries in which we compete are highly competitive, with low barriers to entry.

• Acquisitions, licenses, dispositions and other investments we complete may not provide us with the benefits we expect, or the realization of such benefits may be significantly delayed.

Operational Risks

• Our business may be harmed if we are not successful in transforming our supply chain operations.

Table of Contents

• We may be unable to develop, introduce and ship products on a timely and cost-effective basis, or we may be unable to successfully navigate through global supply chain challenges.

• We may be unable to successfully adapt to the increasing importance of direct-to-consumer sales.

• Our customer base remains highly concentrated, making us susceptible to the success of their businesses.

• Our substantial business, sales and manufacturing outside the U.S. subjects us to risks of international operations.

• We may be involved in other litigation and similar matters which may entail significant expense or otherwise adversely impact our business.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

PART I

Except as expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, as used herein, “Hasbro”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”, means Hasbro, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation organized on January 8, 1926, and its subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

Overview

Hasbro, Inc. (“Hasbro”) is a toy and game company whose mission is to entertain and connect generations of fans through the wonder of storytelling and exhilaration of play. We are Creating Magic Through Play by delivering engaging brand experiences for global audiences across gaming, consumer products and entertainment, with a portfolio of iconic brands including MAGIC: THE GATHERING, Hasbro Gaming, PLAY-DOH, NERF, TRANSFORMERS, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, and PEPPA PIG, as well as premier partner brands.

Hasbro is guided by our purpose to create joy and community for all people around the world, one game, one toy, one story at a time.

For more than a decade, we have been consistently recognized for our corporate citizenship, including being named one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens by 3BL Media, one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere Institute and one of the 50 Most Community-Minded Companies in the U.S. by the Civic 50.

Recent Developments

Fiscal year 2023 was a year of transformation for our business. Following the October 2022 announcement of our revised strategic plan, we embarked upon an ambitious, multi-year transformation guided by our revamped strategy. Since that announcement, we have been able to create efficiencies in our supply chain, improve our inventory position, lower our costs, and reinvest back into the business. During fiscal 2023, we strengthened our leadership team with industry veterans and turnaround experts and have focused our strategic investments on our most valuable and profitable franchises across games, toys, licensing and entertainment. This focused strategy also led to the decision to sell certain non-core parts of our business, including the Entertainment One film and television business not relating to Hasbro and family-oriented brands, which we refer to as Hasbro Brands and Family Brands. In 2023, we experienced stronger than expected market headwinds within our Consumer Products business, resulting in our difficult decision to take additional headcount reductions and accelerate the process of certain organizational structure changes that is expected to result in the reallocation of people and resources, both in effort to strengthen our foundation and position Hasbro for growth.

A further description of key 2023 developments are summarized below.

Table of Contents

Executive Leadership

On April 12, 2023, we announced the appointment of Gina Goetter as Chief Financial Officer, effective May 18, 2023. Ms. Goetter joined Hasbro from Harley Davidson, Inc., where she served as Chief Financial Officer. Prior to her time at Harley Davidson, Inc., Ms. Goetter served in senior leadership roles at Tyson Foods, Inc. and General Mills, Inc., where she was responsible for leading the turnaround of those businesses. Ms. Goetter succeeded Deborah Thomas, who retired from the Company after 24 years of instrumental leadership of the Company.

On April 12, 2023, we also announced the appointment of industry veteran Tim Kilpin as President, Toys, Licensing & Entertainment, effective April 24, 2023. Mr. Kilpin joined Hasbro from PlayMonster Group, LLC, where he served as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Previously, Mr. Kilpin held senior leadership positions within the toy and entertainment industry at companies that include Activision Blizzard, Inc., Mattel, Inc. and The Walt Disney Company.

Focus on Fewer, Bigger and More Profitable

We continued focusing our efforts on fewer, bigger and more profitable brands in 2023. For example, MAGIC: THE GATHERING had a record year in 2023 with a string of successful new sets. In 2023, we expanded our Magic audience through the integration of other well-known IP, such as with The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth card set, Magic's best-selling set of all time, released in June 2023.

For DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, we activated multiple parts of our Blueprint, including through the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS-based role-playing video game, the theatrical release of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and the continued integration of D&D Beyond, the premier digital content platform for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS acquired during the second quarter of 2022. Baldur's Gate 3, released in the third quarter of 2023 from our partners at Larian Studios, has won six awards, including Game of the Year at the 10th annual Game Awards.

We experienced success through the out-license of certain of our brands to other third-party digital game developers who transform Hasbro brand-based characters and other intellectual properties into digital gaming experiences. One example is the popular free-to-play mobile game, Monopoly Go!, released by Scopely, Inc. during 2023 and based on the classic MONOPOLY board game. Monopoly Go! surpassed $1.0 billion in revenue in 2023, from which we receive digital licensing royalties.

In consumer products, we continue to seek ways to reinvent, redesign and reintroduce products on a cost-effective, profitable basis. A key example of such a product is FURBY. In 2023, we introduced a new product line of FURBY products for its 25th anniversary. Additionally, we have focused on fewer brands and on our bigger and more profitable brands by reducing both our inventory position and our SKUs by approximately 50%.

Sale of Non-core Entertainment One Film and TV Business

On December 27, 2023, we completed the sale of our Entertainment One film and television business ("eOne Film and TV") to Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. and Lions Gate International Motion Pictures S.à.r.l (collectively "Lionsgate"), pursuant to the terms of an equity purchase agreement dated August 3, 2023 among Hasbro and Lionsgate. Lionsgate acquired the eOne Film and TV business for a purchase price of $375.0 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments plus the assumption by Lionsgate of production financing loans. As part of the eOne Film and TV sale, we utilized the proceeds on sale to reduce our outstanding debt.

The sale included a team of talented employees, a content library of approximately 6,500 titles, and active productions for certain non-Hasbro owned intellectual properties such as The Rookie and Yellow Jackets franchises.

Going forward, we retained brand-based created content and the capability to develop and produce entertainment including animation, digital shorts, scripted TV and theatrical films related to core Hasbro IP as well as our Family Brands business, such as PEPPA PIG and PJ MASKS.

See note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements, of this Form 10-K, for further information on the sale of eOne Film and TV.

Hasbro Transformation Office; Operational Excellence Program

Under our new strategic plan, in late 2022 we launched the Hasbro Transformation Office ("HTO"), a team of leaders dedicated to running a disciplined, purpose-built company that is simpler, more efficient and

Table of Contents

redesigned to drive long-term sustainable growth in markets in which we compete. Our HTO aligns and delivers on our Operational Excellence program, an ongoing enterprise-wide cost-savings initiative intended to improve our business through specialized organizational programs that include targeted cost-savings, supply chain transformation and certain other restructuring actions designed to drive growth and enhance shareholder value.

As part of this program, in January 2023, the Company announced the intention to eliminate approximately 1,000 positions from its global workforce, or approximately 15% of global full-time employees (“Init

In evaluating our business, the material risks described below, as well as other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission should be considered carefully. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business. The occurrence of any of these events or circumstances could individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations. This report contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the cautionary statements made under the heading "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for more information on the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements.

Strategic Risks Related to Our Business

Our business will suffer if we are not successful in executing our strategy and transformation initiatives.

Our strategy focuses on fewer and bigger brands that we believe have the largest potential, while emphasizing bottom-line growth, operational discipline, enhanced focus on our fans and commitment to shareholder return. In mid-2022, we formed the Hasbro Transformation Office ("HTO"), a team of leaders dedicated to designing and running a simple, efficient and effective business aligned with our strategy. The HTO is supporting our Operational Excellence Program, an ongoing enterprise-wide cost savings initiative intended to improve our business through specialized organizational programs that include targeted cost-savings, supply chain transformation and certain other restructuring actions designed to drive growth and enhance shareholder value. There are no assurances that we will achieve these cost savings in the amounts we anticipate or within the anticipated timeframes or at all. In addition, any cost savings that we realize may be offset, in whole or in part, by reductions in net sales or through increases in other expenses. Failure to realize the expected cost savings from these cost savings programs could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Failure to execute our strategic plan and transformation initiatives may harm our business. Our ability to successfully implement and execute these plans and initiatives in a timely basis, if at all, is dependent on many factors, including, among other things:

• our ability to successfully innovate, design, develop, price, commercialize and grow a select group of brands across our Blueprint to global consumers in a wide array of markets;

• our ability to successfully grow our digital gaming business;

• our ability to optimize our toy business, including through right-sizing our cost structure and creating efficiencies in our operations;

• our ability to implement appropriate systems and processes to obtain and analyze data and insights from consumers to enable us to make informed decisions about priorities and consumer preferences;

• our ability to gain market share in our focus categories;

• our ability to simplify our supply chain logistics;

• our ability to successfully manage inventory;

• the ability of our workforce to focus and execute on priority transformational projects across the business, and to sustain changes to maximize savings;

• the attraction and retention of key personnel with core skills and competencies in the areas of focus; and

• our ability to successfully license, divest, sell, or otherwise cease certain parts of the business that are not as profitable as other areas or are not core to the business.

Consumer interests change rapidly and acceptance of products and entertainment offerings are influenced by outside factors, making it difficult to design and develop innovative products, play patterns and entertainment offerings which are and will continue to be popular with children, families and audiences.

Central to our mission is to Create Magic Through Play. This means we need to design innovative toys and games that create memorable, social and collectible experiences of play and entertainment. Our ability to successfully create innovative toys and games is affected by the interests of children, families, fans and audiences evolve quickly and can change dramatically from year to year and by geography. To be successful, we must correctly

Table of Contents

anticipate the types of products, play patterns and entertainment which will capture consumers’ interests and imagination, and quickly develop and introduce innovative products and engaging entertainment which can compete successfully for consumers’ limited time, attention and spending. Although we utilize our brand insights platform to gather data and analytics to help us make informed decisions, it is very difficult to predict consumer acceptance with certainty due to, among other things, the ever-increasing utilization of technology at younger and younger ages, social media and digital media in entertainment offerings, and the increasing breadth of products and entertainment available to consumers. Evolving consumer tastes and shifting interests, coupled with an ever-changing and expanding pipeline of products, technology and entertainment which compete for consumer interest and acceptance, create an environment in which some products, technology and entertainment offerings can fail to achieve consumer acceptance or can be popular during a certain period of time but then be rapidly replaced. As a result, our products and entertainment offerings can have short consumer life cycles with no guarantee of success. Consumer acceptance is even more critical for our toy business due to the recent decline in the overall toy industry.

Consumer acceptance of our or our partners’ entertainment offerings is also affected by outside factors, such as critical reviews, promotions, the quality and acceptance of films and television programs and content released into the marketplace at or near the same time, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions and public tastes generally, all of which could change rapidly and most of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that television programs and films we or our partners develop, produce or distribute will obtain favorable reviews or ratings, that films we develop, produce or distribute will be popular with consumers and perform well at the box office or in other distribution channels, or that broadcasters will license the rights to broadcast any of our television programs in development or renew licenses to broadcast programs in our library.

If we devote time and resources to developing and marketing products or entertainment that consumers do not accept, do not find interesting enough to buy in sufficient quantities to be profitable to us or do not purchase due to the pricing of a product, our revenues and profits may decline and our business performance may be harmed. Similarly, if our product offerings and entertainment fail to correctly anticipate consumer interests, our revenues and earnings will be reduced.

Our business will suffer if we are unable to innovate, develop and invest in digital gaming.

A key component to the success of our strategy is to continue to innovate, develop and invest in digital gaming, particularly through our Wizards of the Coast and digital gaming business. We have invested substantially in this business and as a result it has seen significant growth over the past several years. Continued digital game development is a key growth factor for the future, including AAA games, games as a service and licensed games. If we are unable to continue to grow this business and ensure its integration with our other business segments, our business may be harmed. The digital gaming indus

We have an in-depth approach to monitoring and addressing cybersecurity risk. Members of management together with our Board, the Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Committee of the Board(the "Cybersecurity Committee"), our internal Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Steering Committee (a cross-functional team which includes members of our Executive Leadership Team), and the Enterprise Risk Management team (a task force comprised of senior representatives of the company assessing risk in the organization), have developed cybersecurity and risk management processes to adapt to the changing cybersecurity landscape and respond to emerging threats in a timely and effective manner.

Our cybersecurity program leverages various industry standards like the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") and Center for Internet Security Program framework, which organizes cybersecurity risks into five categories: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. We regularly assess the threat landscape and take a holistic view of cybersecurity risks, with a layered cybersecurity strategy based on prevention, detection and mitigation. Our enterprise risk management team reviews cybersecurity risks, and key cybersecurity risks are incorporated into the enterprise risk management ("ERM") reports reviewed and discussed internally and with the Board. In addition, we have several avenues to gather risk intelligence, and potential threats identified by various services and capabilities to adjust our security strategy. We also have a set of Company-wide policies and procedures concerning cybersecurity and technology standards, which include a Technology Use policy, as well as other policies that directly or indirectly relate to cybersecurity, such as policies related to endpoint and network protection, encryption standards, malware/ransomware protection, remote access, multi-factor authentication,

Table of Contents

confidential information and the use of the internet, social media, email and wireless devices. These policies go through an internal review process and are approved by appropriate members of management.

The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) is responsible for developing and implementing our information security program and reporting quarterly on cybersecurity matters to the Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Steering Committee, as well as to the Board and the Cybersecurity Committee. Our Chief Information Officer is an Executive Sponsor of the Cyber Security Program, has over two decade of experience leading cyber security oversight, and others on our cyber security team have cybersecurity experience and certifications, such as the Certified Information Systems Security Professional, or other industry leading certifications.

We have invested in IT security, including additional end-user training, using layered defenses, identifying and protecting critical assets, strengthening monitoring and alerting, and engaging experts. We regularly test defenses by performing simulations and drills at both a technical level (including through penetration tests) and by reviewing our operational policies and procedures with third-party experts. At the management level, our IT security team regularly monitors alerts and meets to discuss threat levels, trends and remediation. The team also prepares a cyber scorecard, regularly collects data on cybersecurity threats and risk areas and conducts an annual risk assessment. Further, we conduct periodic external penetration tests, red team testing and maturity testing to assess our processes and procedures and the threat landscape. These tests and assessments are useful tools for maintaining a robust cybersecurity program to protect our investors, customers, employees, vendors, and intellectual property. In addition to assessing our own cybersecurity preparedness, we also consider and evaluate cybersecurity risks associated with use of third-party vendors and service providers. The internal business owners of the hosted applications are required to document user access reviews at least annually and provide from the vendor a System and Organization Controls ("SOC") 1 or SOC 2 report. If a third-party vendor is not able to provide a SOC 1 or SOC 2 report, we take additional steps to assess their cybersecurity preparedness and assess our relationship on that basis. Our assessment of risks associated with use of third-party providers is part of our overall cybersecurity risk management framework.

The Cybersecurity Committee and the full Board actively participate in discussions with management and amongst themselves regarding cybersecurity risks. The Cybersecurity Committee meets regularly during the year and discusses cyber-related industry events, critical cyber incidents, alignment with our information security framework, threat assessment, security capabilities, response readiness and training efforts. A third-party cyber security firm also advises the Cybersecurity Committee on cybersecurity threats, trends in the industry, and best practices. This third party also evaluates and assesses our programs. The Cybersecurity Committee conducts an ongoing review of the Company’s cybersecurity program, which includes discussion of management’s actions to identify and detect threats, planned actions in the event of a response or recovery situation, as well as a review of recent enhancements to the Company’s security detection and response capabilities, and management’s progress on its cybersecurity strategic roadmap. The Cybersecurity team also subscribes various threat intelligence services to evaluate our security strategy or defense mechanism against such threats.

The Board receives regular updates from the Cybersecurity Committee, including a summary of key performance indicators, test results and related remediation, and recent threats and how the Company is managing those threats. To aid the Board with its cybersecurity and data privacy oversight responsibilities, the Board periodically hosts experts for presentations on these topics.

We face a number of cybersecurity risks in connection with our business. During the past three years we have not suffered a material breach or a reportable incident, and cybersecurity risks (including breach of third parties with whom we work) have not materially affected us, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. For more information about the cybersecurity risks we face, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Hasbro owns its corporate headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island consisting of approximately 343,000 square feet, which is used by corporate functions as well as the Consumer Products segment. The Company owns an adjacent building consisting of approximately 23,000 square feet which is also used by corporate functions. The Company's significant leased properties include a facility in Providence, Rhode Island consisting of approximately 136,000 square feet which is used primarily by Commercial and Supply Chain functions, as well as the Consumer Products segment. In addition, the Company leases warehouse space aggregating approximately 3,081,000 square feet in California, Illinois, Georgia and Massachusetts that are used primarily by the Consumer Products segment. The Company leases approximately 80,000 square feet in Burbank, California used by the Consumer Products and Entertainment segments. The Company also leases approximately 111,000 square feet of office space in Renton, Washington as well as 25,000 square feet in Austin, Texas used primarily by the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment. The Corporate and Other segment leases an aggregate of 94,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Hong Kong as well as 48,000 square feet of office space leased in the People’s Republic of China.

Outside of the properties listed above, the Company leases or owns property in over 35 countries. The primary international locations for facilities in the Consumer Products segment are in Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, the People’s Republic of China, and the United Kingdom, all of which comprise both office and warehouse space. In addition, the Company also leases offices in Switzerland and the Netherlands which are primarily used for corporate functions.

The above properties consist, in general, of brick, concrete and steel buildings which the Company believes are in good condition and well maintained.

The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its needs at this time, although as part of its ongoing business it does periodically assess if alternate facilities to one or more of the facilities mentioned above would provide business advantages or if certain facilities could be consolidated. The Company believes that, should it not be able to renew any of the leases related to its leased facilities, it could secure similar substitute properties without a material adverse impact on its operations.

The Company is currently party to certain legal proceedings, none of which we believe to be material to our business or financial condition.

PART II

The Company’s common stock, par value $0.50 per share (the “Common Stock”), is traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “HAS”. As of February 13, 2024, there were approximately 7,305 shareholders of record of the Company’s Common Stock.

Our practice has been to pay dividends on a quarterly basis. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other relevant factors. On February 13, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.70 per share, which is payable on May 15, 2024 to shareholders of record on May 1, 2024. In 2024, the Company expects future dividend declarations will be made closer in time to the record date of the dividend than has historically been declared.

Issuer Repurchases of Common Stock

Purchases of the Company’s Common Stock may be made from time to time, subject to market conditions, to offset dilution caused by stock issuances related to its equity compensation program and when management believes it is a good use of cash. In May 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500 million in Common Stock which may either be repurchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. As of December 31, 2023, Hasbro had $241.6 million remaining available under these share repurchase authorizations. There were no repurchases of the Company’s Common Stock during 2023. The Company has no obligation to repurchase shares under this authorization. The timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including the price of the Company’s stock and the Company's generation of, and uses for, cash.

OBJECTIVE

Our objective within the following discussion is to provide an analysis of the Company’s Financial Condition, Cash Flows and Results of Operations from management's perspective, which should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in Part II, Item 8*. Financial Statements,* of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s expectations and beliefs.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Hasbro is a toy and game company whose mission is to entertain and connect generations of fans through the wonder of storytelling and exhilaration of play. We are Creating Magic Through Play by delivering engaging brand experiences for global audiences across gaming, consumer products and entertainment, with a portfolio of iconic brands including MAGIC: THE GATHERING, Hasbro Gaming, PLAY-DOH, NERF, TRANSFORMERS, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, and PEPPA PIG, as well as premier partner brands.

Hasbro is guided by our purpose to create joy and community for all people around the world, one game, one toy, one story at a time. For the past decade, we have been consistently recognized for our corporate citizenship, including being named one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens by 3BL Media and one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere Institute.

Our strategic plan, which we sometimes refer to as our Blueprint or Blueprint 2.0, supports our mission by bringing compelling and expansive brand experiences to consumers and audiences around the world. Using this approach, our brands are transformed as story-led and play-led consumer franchises brought to life through games, play and experiences and offered across a multitude of platforms and media. Our commitment to disciplined, strategic investments, differentiates Hasbro as a purpose-driven business with diversified capabilities focused on driving long-term, sustainable and profitable growth and enhancing shareholder value.

Table of Contents

Key elements of our strategy include:

• building innovative toys and games that create memorable, social and collectible experiences of play and entertainment in our key focus categories: games (board games, trading cards, role playing); preschool; action brands; creativity; outdoor; and dolls;

• pursuing a franchise-first approach to deliver the magic of our brands through licensing, digital games and entertainment;

• focusing on fewer, bigger, more profitable brands and driving market share in our key focus categories;

• investing in our Hasbro direct-to-consumer business and building direct relationships with fans through ecommerce, social, digital games and services;

• continuing to cultivate our digital gaming business, through AAA games, games as a service and licensing relationships that activate our brands;

• licensing of our brands through a growing portfolio of partners from theme park operators to toy companies, for consumers to experience our brands and drive communities of friendship and fandom around them;

• executing on our operational savings initiatives, including supply chain transformation, to improve operating results and reinvest in our business; and

• investing in and empowering our people at all levels of our organization and continue to foster a diverse and inclusive culture that drives accountability and focuses on profitability.

Hasbro generates revenue and earns cash by developing, marketing, licensing and selling products, play and entertainment experiences, based on our global brands as well as other IP in a broad variety of categories. This includes: innovative toy and gaming brands and role-playing and fantasy card collecting games, the marketing and sale of toys and games, including our owned and partner brands, through retail stores, ecommerce platforms and Hasbro Direct, our direct-to-consumer platform; the distribution, license and sale of digital games developed both internally and through licensing out our IP to third parties, such as Baldur's Gate 3, Monopoly Go! and Magic: The Gathering Arena and other digital games. Additionally, the Company generates revenue though the development, production and sales of entertainment content and from out-licensing certain non-core brands which are more profitable through a licensing arrangement for products that include various toys and games, consumer products, such as apparel and publishing, as well as for use in theme park attractions and other forms of location-based entertainment and within formats such as film and TV programming.

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.

Results discussed herein include income from operations before income taxes attributable to the eOne Film and TV business sold to Lionsgate on December 27, 2023. The eOne Film and TV results were recorded to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, within the Entertainment segment, through the sale transaction closing date. Assets of $1.5 billion and liabilities of $542.0 million, attributable to the eOne Film and TV business were de-consolidated as of the closing date and, as of December 31, 2023, there are no remaining carrying amounts relative to that part of the business within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. See note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements, of this Form 10-K, for further information on the sale of the Company's eOne Film and TV business.

During each of the periods presented in this Form 10-K there were significant charges and benefits incurred which impacted operating results. These charges are detailed below in the Summary of Financial Performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Hasbro, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hasbro, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and December 25, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings, shareholders’ equity and redeemable noncontrolling interests, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II - valuation and qualifying accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and December 25, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 28, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Fair value of the Family Brands reporting unit

As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the goodwill balance at December 31, 2023 was $2,279.2 million, a portion of which related to the Family Brands reporting unit. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment assessment and, if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable, the Company will perform an interim impairment test. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred following declines in the Company's financial forecast for the Family Brands reporting unit. As such, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $960.0 million for the Family Brands reporting unit.

We identified the evaluation of the fair value of the Family Brands reporting unit as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the forecasted revenue, including the terminal

growth rate, and the discount rate used in the income approach, and the EBITDA market multiple assumption used in the market approach used to estimate fair value for the reporting unit. The assessment of the forecasted revenue assumption was subjective as it is based largely on the outcome of uncertain future events. Additionally, the estimate of fair value was sensitive to changes in the discount rate and EBITDA market multiple assumptions. In addition, specialized skills and knowledge were required to assess the terminal growth rate, discount rate, and EBITDA market multiple assumptions.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment process. This included controls related to the development of the forecasted revenue, discount rate, and EBITDA market multiple assumptions used to estimate fair value for the Family Brands reporting unit. We evaluated the reasonableness of forecasted revenue for the reporting unit by comparing it to available external industry data and other internal information. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

• evaluating the terminal growth rate by comparing it to publicly available market data

• evaluating the discount rate by comparing it to a discount rate range that was independently developed using publicly available market data

• evaluating the appropriateness of the selected guideline public companies by researching the selected guideline public companies and reviewing the business description

• evaluating the EBITDA market multiple assumption by comparing to EBITDA market multiple ranges developed using publicly available market data for the selected guideline public companies

• developing an independent estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit using the income and market approaches, which was then compared to the Company’s fair value estimate.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and December 25, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings, shareholders’ equity and redeemable noncontrolling interests, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II - valuation and qualifying accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 28, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
