HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Millions of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Hasbro, Inc. and all consolidated subsidiaries ("Hasbro" or the "Company") as of March 30, 2025, March 31, 2024, and December 29, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows and shareholders' equity for the periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were 13-week periods.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year 2025, nor were those of the comparable 2024 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2024.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company filed with the SEC audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024 ("2024 Form 10-K"), which includes all such information and disclosures and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial information included herein. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Other Adjustments

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company corrected prior period errors associated with an $18.1 million benefit related to the reversal of stock compensation expense for the Company's performance stock awards that should have been recorded during fiscal year 2023 (recorded in Selling, distribution and administration on the Consolidated Statements of Operations). The recording of this item was not considered to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company's 2023 or 2024 consolidated financial statements.

For the period ending March 31, 2024, the Company reclassified capitalized software developments costs of $178.0 million from Property, plant and equipment, net into Other long-term assets to conform with current year presentation.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

During the three months ended March 30, 2025, there were no recently adopted accounting standards that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements in Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment requires public companies to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, under the amendment, entities are required to disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, as well as disaggregated by material individual jurisdictions. Finally, the amendment requires entities to disclose income from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. The new rules are effective for

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Millions of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The new standard requires enhanced additional disclosures related to certain expense categories. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

There were no other recently issued accounting pronouncements which would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods, functional intellectual property or production is transferred to the customers or licensees, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from sales of finished products to customers. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Company's 2024 Annual Report for the Company's revenue recognition accounting policy.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contracts to license certain of the Company’s intellectual property, providing licensees right-to-use or access such intellectual property for use in the production and sale of consumer products and digital game development, location based entertainment, and for use within content for distribution over streaming platforms and for television and film. Through these arrangements, the Company may receive advanced royalty payments from licensees, either in advance of a licensees’ subsequent sales to customers or prior to the completion of the Company’s performance obligation. In addition, the Company’s Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment may receive advanced payments from end users of its digital games at the time of the initial purchase, through in-application purchases or through subscription services. The Company defers revenues on all licensee and digital gaming advanced payments until the respective performance obligations are satisfied. The Company records the aggregate deferred revenues as contract liabilities, with the current portion recorded within Accrued liabilities and the long-term portion recorded as Other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets on the basis of the expected fixed consideration under the contract with the customer. The Company records contract assets, primarily related to (1) minimum guarantees being recognized in advance of contractual invoicing, which are recognized ratably over the terms of the respective license periods, and (2) film and television distribution revenues recorded for content delivered, where payment will occur over the license term. The current portion of contract assets is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion is recorded within Other long-term assets on the basis of expected receipt of cash per contractual terms.

The opening and closing balances of contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:


	March 30, 2025		March 31, 2024
Assets
Balance at beginning of the year	$	241.4	$	213.3
Ending Balance	$	227.1	$	219.6

Liabilities
Balance at beginning of the year	$	236.8	$	230.8
Ending Balance	$	202.6	$	231.6

For the three months ended March 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $134.7 million that was included in the December 29, 2024 contract liability balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $22.1 million that was included in the December 31, 2023 contract liability balance.

Unsatisfied performance obligations

Unsatisfied performance obligations relate primarily to in-production television content to be delivered in the future under existing agreements with partnering content providers such as broadcasters, distributors, television networks

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Millions of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)

and subscription video on demand services. As of March 30, 2025, unrecognized revenue attributable to unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future was $1.4 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize $1.4 million in the remainder of 2025. This amount includes only fixed consideration.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company’s balance for accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 are primarily from contracts with customers. A summary of the activity in the allowance for credit losses are as follows:


	March 30, 2025		March 31, 2024
Balance at beginning of the year	$	25.8	$	12.7
Provisions/charges to income	14.6		0.3
Amounts charged off and other deductions	(2.9)		0.4
Foreign currency impact	0.2		(0.3)
Ending balance	$	37.7	$	13.1

Disaggregation of revenues

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by reportable segment: Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming, Consumer Products, and Entertainment. The Company further disaggregates revenues within its Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment by category: Tabletop Gaming and Digital and Licensed Gaming; within its Consumer Products segment by major geographic region: North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific; and within its Entertainment segment by category: Film & TV, Family Brands, and Other. Finally, the Company disaggregates its revenues by brand portfolio into three brand categories: Grow Brands, Optimize Brands, and Reinvent Brands. We believe these collectively depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors

The following table represents consolidated Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment net revenues by category:

(3) Sale of Non-Core Entertainment One Film and TV Business

On December 27, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its 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. The Company sold eOne Film and TV for a sales price of $375.0 million in cash, subject to the satisfaction of customary net working capital closing conditions and holdbacks for certain retained liabilities, plus the assumption by Lionsgate of production financing loans.

The Equity Purchase Agreement also included a holdback amount that was paid to Lionsgate upon the execution of the sale but remained recoverable by Hasbro if certain terms were not satisfied by Lionsgate within 30 days of the first anniversary of the agreement. During the three months ended March 30, 2025, the Company was informed by Lionsgate of the satisfaction of the requirements under the agreement and the final holdback amount was settled, resulting in a $25.0 million expense recorded within Loss on disposal of business on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(4) Earnings Per Common Share

Net earnings per share data were computed as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2025		March 31, 2024
Net earnings attributable to Hasbro, Inc.	$	98.6	$	58.2

Average shares outstanding	139.8		139.1
Effect of dilutive securities:

Equivalent Shares	141.0		139.3

Net earnings attributable to Hasbro, Inc. per common share

For the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, options and restricted stock units totaling 0.9 million and 2.6 million, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

Gains (Losses) on Derivative Instruments

At March 30, 2025, the Company had remaining deferred gains on foreign currency forward contracts, net of tax, of $0.8 million in Accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) ("AOCE"). These instruments hedge payments related to inventory purchased in the three months ended March 30, 2025 or forecasted to be purchased during the remainder of 2025, intercompany expenses expected to be paid or received during 2025 and cash receipts for sales made at the end of the first quarter of 2025 or forecasted to be made in the remainder of 2025. These amounts will be reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon the sale of the related inventory or recognition of the related sales or expenses.

In addition to foreign currency forward contracts, the Company entered into hedging contracts on future interest payments related to the 5.10% Notes due 2044. At the date of debt issuance, these contracts were terminated and the fair value on the date of settlement was deferred in AOCE and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related Notes using the effective interest rate method. At March 30, 2025, deferred losses, net of tax of $13.3 million related to these instruments remained in AOCE. For each of the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, previously deferred losses, net of tax, of $0.2 million related to these instruments were reclassified from AOCE to net earnings.

Of the amounts included in AOCE at March 30, 2025, the Company expects net gains of approximately $2.3 million to be reclassified to the Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months. However, the amount ultimately realized in earnings is dependent on the fair value of the hedging instruments on the settlement dates.

See Note 12, Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional discussion on reclassifications from AOCE to earnings.

For the three months ended March 30, 2025, the Company repurchased $50.4 million of its 2026 and 2027 Notes and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $1.2 million, which was recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Financing Arrangements

The Company's third amended and restated revolving credit facility with Bank of America, as administrative agent, swing line lender, a letter of credit issuer and a lender and certain other financial institutions as lenders thereto (the "Amended Revolving Credit Facility") provides the Company with commitments having a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion, of which the Company has zero outstanding borrowings as of March 30, 2025. The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants setting forth leverage and coverage requirements, and certain other limitations typical of an investment grade facility, including with respect to liens, mergers and incurrence of indebtedness. It also provides for a potential additional incremental commitment increase of up to $500.0 million subject to agreement of the lenders.

The Company also has a supplier finance program which provides participating suppliers the option of receiving payment in advance of an invoice due date, to be paid by certain administering banks, on the basis of invoices that the Company has confirmed as valid and approved. The Company’s obligation is to make payment in the invoice amount negotiated with participating suppliers, to the administering banks on the invoice due date. The Company’s suppliers are not required to participate in the supplier finance program. The early payment transactions between the Company’s supplier and the administering bank are subject to an agreement between those parties, and the Company does not participate in any financial aspect of the agreements between the Company’s suppliers and the administering banks. The Company has not pledged any assets to the administering bank under the supplier financing program. The Company or the administering bank may terminate the agreement upon at least 30 days’ written notice. The amount of obligations confirmed under the program that remain unpaid by the Company were $51.2 million, $47.7 million, and $66.2 million as of March 30, 2025, March 31, 2024, and December 29, 2024, respectively. These obligations are presented within Accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The activity related to this program is reflected within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(9) Investments in Productions and Investments in Acquired Content Rights

Investments in productions and investments in acquired content rights are predominantly monetized on a title-by-title basis and are recorded within Other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets to the extent they are considered recoverable against future revenues. These amounts are being amortized to program cost amortization using a model that reflects the consumption of the asset as it is released through various channels including broadcast licenses, theatrical release and home entertainment. Amounts capitalized are reviewed

(Millions of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)

periodically on an individual title basis and any portion of the unamortized amount that appears not to be recoverable from future net revenues is expensed as part of program cost amortization during the period the loss becomes evident.

The Company's unamortized investments in productions and investments in acquired content rights consisted of the following:


	March 30, 2025		March 31, 2024		December 29, 2024
Investment in Films and Television Programs:

The Company's program cost amortization, that related to investment in production that were released, during the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, were $7.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

(10) Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and international jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is regularly audited by U.S. federal, state and local, and international tax authorities in various tax jurisdictions.

The effective tax rate ("ETR") was 27.1% for the three months ended March 30, 2025, and 27.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The following items impacted the ETR for 2025 and 2024:

During the three months ended March 30, 2025 the Company recorded an unfavorable adjustment to the Loss on Sale of the Film and TV reporting unit of $25.0 million with no tax benefit. The Company also recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $0.3 million, primarily associated with stock-based compensation.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company recorded an unfavorable adjustment to the Loss on Sale of the Film and TV reporting unit of $9.1 million with no tax benefit. The Company also recorded a net discrete tax expense of $1.8 million, primarily associated with stock-based compensation.

(11) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1 fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access;
Level 2 fair values are those based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities;

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Millions of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)

Level 3 fair values are based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company had the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets (excluding assets for which the fair value is measured using net asset value per share):


	Fair Value Measurements Using:

The Company's derivatives primarily consist of foreign currency forward and option contracts. The Company uses current forward rates of the respective foreign currencies to measure the fair value of these contracts. There were no changes in these valuation techniques during the three months ended March 30, 2025. There were no material changes to fair value measurements of the Company's financial instruments which use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for three months ended March 31, 2024.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and certain Accrued liabilities. At March 30, 2025, March 31, 2024, and

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Millions of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)

December 29, 2024, the carrying cost of these instruments approximated their fair value. The Company's financial instruments at March 30, 2025, March 31, 2024, and December 29, 2024 also include certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as described above. See Note 8, Long-Term Debt and Other Financing, for the fair value of the Company's outstanding debt.

(12) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to mitigate the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. These over-the-counter contracts, which hedge future currency requirements related to purchases of inventory, product sales and other cross-border transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the business unit, are primarily denominated in United States and Hong Kong dollars, and Euros. All contracts are entered into with a number of counterparties, all of which are major financial institutions. The Company believes that a default by a single counterparty would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

All of the Company's designated foreign currency forward contracts are considered to be cash flow hedges. These instruments hedge a portion of the Company's currency requirements associated with anticipated inventory purchases, product sales and other cross-border transactions, primarily for the remainder of 2025, and into 2026.

The notional amounts and fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows:


	March 30, 2025				March 31, 2024				December 29, 2024
Hedged transaction	Notional Amount		Fair Value		Notional Amount		Fair Value		Notional Amount		Fair Value
Inventory purchases	$	194.8	$	2.6	$	151.2	$	0.3	$	131.5	$	8.0
Sales	144.4		(1.2)		75.3		(0.2)		86.0		(1.4)
Other	29.1		0.6		30.7		(1.1)		22.8		0.9
Total	$	368.3	$	2.0	$	257.2	$	(1.0)	$	240.3	$	7.5

The Company has a master agreement with each of its counterparties that allows for the netting of outstanding forward contracts. The fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

Other	0.1		(0.1)
Net realized gains (losses)	$	0.9	$	(0.1)

Undesignated Hedges

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the impact of changes in the fair value of intercompany loans due to foreign currency changes. The Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts as changes in the fair values of these contracts are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the intercompany loans. As of March 30, 2025, March 31, 2024 and December 29, 2024, the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $263.2 million, $328.6 million, and $289.6 million, respectively.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Millions of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)

The fair values of the Company's undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:


	March 30, 2025		March 31, 2024		December 29, 2024
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Unrealized gains	$	1.7	$	7.0	$	1.9

The Company recorded a net gain of $2.2 million and $9.1 million for three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, on these instruments to Other (income) expense, net relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, substantially offsetting gains and losses from the change in fair value of intercompany loans to which the contracts relate.

For additional information related to the Company's derivative financial instruments (see Note 6, Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss) and Note 11, Fair Value of Financial Instruments).

(13) Restructuring Actions

Starting in 2022, the Company implemented its Operational Excellence program ("the Program"), an ongoing enterprise-wide initiative intended to improve our business through programs that include targeted cost-savings, supply chain transformation and certain other restructuring actions designed to drive growth and enhance shareholder value. The Company's organizational structure changes have resulted and will further result in workforce reductions as well as the reallocation of people and resources. The Company currently anticipates that these changes will be substantially complete over the next nine to twelve months.

Charges related to the Program were recorded in Selling, distribution and administration expense within Corporate and Other. Going forward, the Company may implement further cost-saving initiatives under the Program that could result in additional restructuring charges including severance and other employee charges.

The liability balance associated with the Program related restructuring actions consisted of severance payments recorded within Other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:


	Three Months Ended
Operational Excellence	March 30, 2025		March 31, 2024
Balance at beginning of the year	$	46.9	$	81.2
Charges	1.8		5.7
Payments	(9.6)		(14.3)
Ending Balance	$	39.1	$	72.6

The following table presents the restructuring charges incurred to date under the Program, along with the estimated charges expected to be incurred on approved initiatives under the Program as of March 30, 2025:

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies – The Company is subject to claims related to product and other commercial matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter.

Litigation and Other Claims – The Company from time to time may be subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, commercial, employee, environmental and other matters in the normal course of business. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter.

Environmental Liabilities - The Company monitors for any estimated environmental contingencies related to its current physical locations and former owned or leased facilities in which it is responsible for environmental matters. The Company has estimated a $31.1 million environmental liability related to a previously owned manufacturing facility (environmental liability assumed as part of a historical acquisition), in which the Company is solely responsible for the mitigation and remediation activities.

Contractual obligations and commercial commitments, as detailed in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K, did not materially change outside of certain payments made in the normal course of business, except as disclosed in Note 8, Long-Term Debt and Other Financing.

(15) Segment Reporting

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because the business requires different technology and marketing strategies. The Company's reportable segments are as follows:

The Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming business engages in the promotion of the Company's brands through the development of trading card, role-playing and digital game experiences based on Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast games. Additionally, we license 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.
The Consumer Products segment engages in the sourcing, marketing and sales of toy and game products around the world. The Consumer Products business also promotes the Company's brands through the out-licensing of our trademarks, characters and other brand and intellectual property rights to third parties, through the sale of branded consumer products such as toys and apparel. Additionally, through license agreements with third parties, we develop and sell products based on popular third-party brands.
The Entertainment segment engages in the development and production of Hasbro-branded entertainment content including film, television, children’s programming, digital content and live entertainment focused on Hasbro-owned properties.

Corporate and Other, which does not meet the criteria to be an operating segment, provides management and administrative services to the Company's principal reporting segments described above and consists of unallocated corporate expenses and administrative costs and activities not considered when evaluating segment performance as well as certain assets benefiting more than one segment.

Segment performance is measured at the operating profit level. Intersegment sales and transfers are reflected in management reports at amounts approximating cost. Certain shared costs, including global development and marketing expenses and corporate administration, are allocated to segments based upon expenses and foreign exchange rates fixed at the beginning of the year, with adjustments to actual expenses and foreign exchange rates included in Corporate and Other.
