Key Takeaways

  • Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming revenue jumped 26% YoY, driven by a 36% increase in Magic: The Gathering sales.
  • Operating profit surged 58% to $270 million, benefiting from a high-margin product mix and scale in digital gaming.
  • Consumer Products revenue remained flat at $397.9 million, as growth in Star Wars toys was offset by difficult licensing comparisons.
  • Entertainment segment revenue fell 24% due to deal timing, though profitability improved due to lower royalty expenses.
  • The company successfully deployed $96 million toward debt reduction while issuing $400 million in new notes to manage 2026 maturities.
  • Management disclosed an unauthorized network access event in late March 2026, which is undergoing restoration and insurance documenting.

Management Guidance

Hasbro reiterated its full-year 2026 guidance, expecting total revenue to increase 3-5% in constant currency and adjusted operating margins to reach 24-25%. Adjusted EBITDA is projected between $1.40 billion and $1.45 billion.
