Hasbro Q3 2023 Earnings Report
Hasbro's Q3 2023 earnings were marked by a revenue decline, offset by Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming's strong performance and adjusted profit and margin growth.
Key Takeaways
Hasbro's Q3 2023 revenue decreased by 10%, with growth in Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming not offsetting declines in Consumer Products and Entertainment. Adjusted operating profit increased by 27%, driven by the mix benefit from digital games and cost savings. The company is updating its 2023 guidance to reflect lower revenue outlook for Consumer Products.
Hasbro, Inc. revenue declined 10%, with Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment growing by 40%.
Wizards of the Coast revenue growth was driven by the success of licensed digital games Baldur’s Gate III and Monopoly Go!, contributing $63 million of incremental revenue.
Consumer Product revenue declined due to exited licenses and softer category trends, although market share increased in four of the five focus categories.
Adjusted operating profit margin increased to 22.8%, a 6.7 percentage point increase year-over-year, due to digital games and cost savings.

Forward Guidance
Hasbro expects a revenue decline of 13-15% due to a softer toy outlook in Consumer Products. They anticipate an adjusted operating margin of 13.0% - 13.5% and adjusted EBITDA of $900 - $950 million. The guidance assumes eOne Film and TV is included for the entire fiscal year and will be updated upon completion of the sale transaction.
Positive Outlook
- No change to Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming Segment of up high-single digits.
- No change to Entertainment segment to down 25 - 30%.
- On track to deliver approximately $200 million of gross cost savings in 2023 as part of Operational Excellence initiative.
- Sale of eOne Film and TV business on track to close by year end.
- The Company continues to target Debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.0 to 2.5 times.
Challenges Ahead
- Revenue decline of 13 - 15% driven by softer toy outlook in Consumer Products.
- Reducing Consumer Product guidance to down mid- to high-teens versus last year.
- The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share 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.
