Wizards of the Coast Momentum Drives Revenue and Operating Profit Improvement

Company Increases Full Year Outlook

Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS), a leading games, IP, and toy company, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2025.

"Hasbro delivered another quarter of growth, highlighting the strength of our brands and Playing to Win strategy," said Chris Cocks, Chief Executive Officer, Hasbro, Inc. "Wizards of the Coast led the way as MAGIC: THE GATHERING continues to break records. Consumer Products POS and market share accelerated ahead of the holiday, and our high-margin licensing business is unlocking new opportunities. With major announcements coming at The Game Awards in December, we're poised to enter 2026 with momentum."

"Our teams delivered another quarter of disciplined execution and operational progress," said Gina Goetter, Hasbro Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "We managed tariff volatility with agility, protected margins through cost productivity and pricing discipline, and continued to advance our transformation initiatives. These actions position Hasbro to close the year from a position of strength, and we remain firmly on track to achieve our mid-term financial commitments."

• 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, such as the integration of artificial intelligence into our product development, marketing strategies, and consumer engagement, and the associated risks such as ethical concerns, evolving regulatory standards, implementation challenges, and third-party dependencies on such technologies;

• 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;
• our dependence on third-party relationships, including with third-party partners, manufacturers, distributors, studios, content producers, licensors, licensees, and outsourcers, which creates reliance on others and loss of control;

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.
