# Hasbro

**Hasbro, Inc.** is a games, IP, and toy company whose profit center has shifted from traditional toys to the [Wizards of the Coast](https://www.edgepedia.org/wizards-of-the-coast) and Digital Gaming segment, anchored by [Magic: The Gathering](https://www.edgepedia.org/magic-the-gathering), Monopoly, and [Dungeons & Dragons](https://www.edgepedia.org/dungeons-and-dragons).<sup>[1](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/node/35406/pdf)</sup> In fiscal 2025, ended December 28, 2025, it earned $4,701.3 million of revenue across three segments: Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming ($2,186.9 million), Consumer Products ($2,437.6 million), and Entertainment ($76.8 million).<sup>[2](https://app.edgar.tools/companies/HAS/disclosures/segments)</sup> The company is in the middle of a turnaround, the "Playing to Win" plan running through 2027, under CEO Chris Cocks, who has led Hasbro since 2022.<sup>[1](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/node/35406/pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/46080/000004608026000011/has-20251228.htm)</sup>

## History

Hasbro built its name on physical toy brands. Its portfolio has included [G.I. Joe](https://www.edgepedia.org/g-i-joe), Furby, Nerf, and [My Little Pony](https://www.edgepedia.org/my-little-pony), and the company organizes products into four brand categories: Franchise Brands, Partner Brands, Hasbro Gaming, and Emerging Brands.<sup>[11](https://journal.unisza.edu.my/jmtp/index.php/jmtp/article/download/132/67)</sup> The pivot toward games began with Magic: The Gathering, developed in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast, which Hasbro acquired in 1999; the trading card game has since grown into a billion-dollar brand.<sup>[12](https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66027)</sup>

**The eOne arc.** Hasbro expanded into entertainment by buying Entertainment One, then reversed course. In 2021 [Blackstone](https://www.edgepedia.org/blackstone) bought eOne Music from Hasbro in a $385 million cash deal.<sup>[13](https://www.bsm.upf.edu/documents/2024-case-study-hasbro.pdf)</sup> On August 3, 2023 Hasbro agreed to sell the eOne film and television business to Lionsgate, and the sale closed on December 27, 2023 for a sales price of $375.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments.<sup>[9](https://corp.hasbro.com/static-files/d5f6d420-b893-4260-905f-f60c321d3f52)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[14](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/46080/000004608026000026/has-20260329.htm)</sup> The divestiture, in the company's own description, returned "play" to the center of its mission and investment priorities and reduced content spend by over 90%.<sup>[10](https://investor.hasbro.com/static-files/c88d2d3d-06ce-426c-af34-d3719b683f50)</sup> The associated workforce reductions are multiyear; CEO Chris Cocks said in early 2025 that they were mostly, but not entirely, complete.<sup>[15](https://toybook.com/playing-to-win-hasbro-ceo-chris-cocks-on-building-a-modern-play-company/)</sup>

## Business segments and how it makes money

Hasbro reports three segments with separate profit responsibility: Consumer Products, Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming, and [Entertainment](https://www.edgepedia.org/entertainment).<sup>[2](https://app.edgar.tools/companies/HAS/disclosures/segments)</sup> The Wizards segment contains Tabletop Gaming, mainly Magic and Dungeons & Dragons, and Digital and Licensed Gaming, which includes licensed digital games such as [Monopoly Go!](https://www.edgepedia.org/monopoly-go). In 2024, Tabletop revenue was $1,039.6 million (down 3%) while Digital and Licensed Gaming grew 22%.<sup>[16](https://www.publicnow.com/view/1D84FE4FC8E1AEE212ACB39E43B388129D5348A1)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250219743122/en/Hasbro-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Financial-Results)</sup>

**Licensing and digital economics.** Monopoly Go!, the licensed mobile game, contributed $112 million in 2024 and $168 million in 2025, with management describing the monthly revenue pool as largely consistent through 2025.<sup>[8](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250219743122/en/Hasbro-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Financial-Results)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/static-files/c0bf8f1d-2e3f-479a-a9b0-17d0896d785b)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[17](https://investor.hasbro.com/static-files/688a9e7f-b2c8-4f10-b4fb-a516aa30dd2b)</sup> Licensing overall appeared flat in 2025, which Cocks attributed to normalization in trading card games, specifically Kayou's My Little Pony TCG, which debuted in 2024; he remains confident in long-term licensing growth.<sup>[18](https://toybook.com/hasbros-chris-cocks-on-ai-tariffs-and-a-lifetime-of-play/)</sup>

**The toy side is structurally challenged.** Cocks has said the toy business faces declining birth rates, while remaining the company's "first handshake with kids."<sup>[18](https://toybook.com/hasbros-chris-cocks-on-ai-tariffs-and-a-lifetime-of-play/)</sup> Consumer Products returned to operating income of $115.3 million in 2024 after a $64.7 million operating loss in 2023, but declined 4% in revenue in 2025.<sup>[16](https://www.publicnow.com/view/1D84FE4FC8E1AEE212ACB39E43B388129D5348A1)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/static-files/c0bf8f1d-2e3f-479a-a9b0-17d0896d785b)</sup> The Franchise Brands portfolio (Magic: The Gathering, D&D, Transformers, Nerf, Peppa Pig, Play-Doh, Hasbro Gaming) saw revenue decline 4% in 2024.<sup>[16](https://www.publicnow.com/view/1D84FE4FC8E1AEE212ACB39E43B388129D5348A1)</sup>

## By the numbers

The 2025 income statement shows the gap between reported and underlying results. Reported operating profit was $11.1 million, with a loss before income taxes of $102.0 million, because Q2 2025 carried a $1.0 billion non-cash goodwill impairment that produced a $628 million quarterly operating loss.<sup>[2](https://app.edgar.tools/companies/HAS/disclosures/segments)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://investor.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-reports-second-quarter-2025-financial-results)</sup> Segment operating results were $1,006.8 million for Wizards (46.0% margin, up 59%), a $942.6 million loss for Consumer Products including the impairment, and $0.4 million for Entertainment.<sup>[2](https://app.edgar.tools/companies/HAS/disclosures/segments)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/static-files/c0bf8f1d-2e3f-479a-a9b0-17d0896d785b)</sup>

The Wizards segment's margin is the story of the company's economics: a 46.0% operating margin against a Consumer Products business that earned $115.3 million on $2.5 billion of revenue in 2024.<sup>[4](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/static-files/c0bf8f1d-2e3f-479a-a9b0-17d0896d785b)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[16](https://www.publicnow.com/view/1D84FE4FC8E1AEE212ACB39E43B388129D5348A1)</sup> Wizards revenue grew 45% to $2.2 billion in 2025, with Magic up nearly 60%, fueled by Universes Beyond crossover sets and limited-edition Secret Lair packs, some selling for close to $200.<sup>[17](https://investor.hasbro.com/static-files/688a9e7f-b2c8-4f10-b4fb-a516aa30dd2b)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/21/hasbro-vs-mattel-toy-industry-pressures-make-digital-the-star.html)</sup> In Q4 2025 Wizards revenue grew 86% to $630 million, with Magic up 141% behind [Avatar: The Last Airbender](https://www.edgepedia.org/avatar-the-last-airbender) and [Final Fantasy](https://www.edgepedia.org/final-fantasy)'s holiday release.<sup>[6](https://www.roic.ai/quote/0J3K.L/transcripts/2025-year/4-quarter)</sup>

Cash generation and debt reduction continued through the turnaround. Operating cash flow was $893 million in 2025 versus $847 million in 2024, and Hasbro spent $225 million on debt reduction in 2025 through bond repurchases and prefunding maturities, achieving its debt targets ahead of schedule.<sup>[4](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/static-files/c0bf8f1d-2e3f-479a-a9b0-17d0896d785b)</sup> In 2024 the company had delivered $370 million of gross cost savings and $227 million of net cost savings, with adjusted operating profit of $839 million at a 20.3% adjusted operating margin, up 10.8 points year over year.<sup>[8](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250219743122/en/Hasbro-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Financial-Results)</sup> The 2025 business mix produced a 420 basis point margin improvement heading into 2026.<sup>[17](https://investor.hasbro.com/static-files/688a9e7f-b2c8-4f10-b4fb-a516aa30dd2b)</sup>

## How it compares with Mattel

In fiscal 2025 Hasbro reported revenue gains of 14% to $4.7 billion, while Mattel's net sales dropped 1% to $5.3 billion; Mattel remains the larger company, but Hasbro is the one growing.<sup>[5](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/21/hasbro-vs-mattel-toy-industry-pressures-make-digital-the-star.html)</sup> The strategies diverge on the same pressure, the weak physical toy market. Mattel's dolls segment fell 7% in 2025 and its infant, toddler, and preschool segment slipped 17%, while [Hot Wheels](https://www.edgepedia.org/hot-wheels) gross billings jumped 11%; industry commentary described Barbie and [Fisher-Price](https://www.edgepedia.org/fisher-price) as being in meaningful decline.<sup>[5](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/21/hasbro-vs-mattel-toy-industry-pressures-make-digital-the-star.html)</sup>

**Margin structure and the studio question.** Mattel typically runs a mid-teens operating margin, between Hasbro's two extremes, a mid-40s% Wizards segment and a low-single-digit Consumer Products segment.<sup>[19](https://eightx.co/blog/hasbro-teardown)</sup> Mattel licensed the Barbie film to Warner Bros. rather than owning a studio, a choice that stands as the counterpoint to Hasbro's eOne ownership and subsequent divestiture.<sup>[19](https://eightx.co/blog/hasbro-teardown)</sup> In Q4 2025 Hasbro's adjusted operating profit surged 180% on 31% revenue growth, driven by Wizards.<sup>[20](https://www.emarketer.com/content/hasbro-mattel-q4-results-ip-driven-toy-strategy)</sup> An academic analysis using 2021 data put Hasbro's operating margin at 11.9% of revenue that year, up from 9.2% in 2020, and estimated Hasbro's share of its industry at about 7.4%.<sup>[21](https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1644&context=honorstheses)</sup>

## Recent developments

The turnaround has three visible layers: portfolio, cost, and leadership. The eOne film and TV sale closed in December 2023 and cut content spend by over 90%.<sup>[9](https://corp.hasbro.com/static-files/d5f6d420-b893-4260-905f-f60c321d3f52)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[10](https://investor.hasbro.com/static-files/c88d2d3d-06ce-426c-af34-d3719b683f50)</sup> The leadership team installed around the pivot includes CFO and COO Gina Goetter and President of Toys, Board Games, Licensing and Entertainment Tim Kilpin, both since 2023, under Cocks.<sup>[3](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/46080/000004608026000011/has-20251228.htm)</sup> In February 2025 Hasbro unveiled "Playing to Win," a plan through 2027 targeting $1 billion of gross cost savings by 2027, with roughly half dropping to the bottom line, anchored on a profitable games business built on Magic: The Gathering, Monopoly, and Dungeons & Dragons.<sup>[1](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/node/35406/pdf)</sup> Despite fiscal 2024 revenue falling 17% (down 7% excluding the eOne divestiture), shares rose more than 14% after the Q4 2024 results and the new plan.<sup>[8](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250219743122/en/Hasbro-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Financial-Results)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[15](https://toybook.com/playing-to-win-hasbro-ceo-chris-cocks-on-building-a-modern-play-company/)</sup>

**Tariffs and supply chain.** Consumer Products absorbed nearly $70 million of tariff impact in 2025 while still delivering an improved cost structure, and Hasbro exited 2025 with owned inventory at a record low of 75 days.<sup>[6](https://www.roic.ai/quote/0J3K.L/transcripts/2025-year/4-quarter)</sup> Cocks has acknowledged that the supply chain "got away" from the company and that Hasbro has been adjusting suppliers and releasing cheaper-to-make revamped versions of [Jenga](https://www.edgepedia.org/jenga), Operation, and Monopoly.<sup>[15](https://toybook.com/playing-to-win-hasbro-ceo-chris-cocks-on-building-a-modern-play-company/)</sup>

**2026 developments.** In Q2 2026 revenue rose 16% year over year to $1,139.6 million, led by Wizards and Digital Gaming (+27%) and Consumer Products (+5%), with Entertainment down 20%.<sup>[22](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-reports-second-quarter-2026-financial-results)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[23](https://app.edgar.tools/filing/46080/0000046080-26-000050)</sup> Magic grew 32% on the Secrets of Strixhaven and Marvel Super Heroes sets, and Monopoly Go! contributed $44 million in the quarter.<sup>[22](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-reports-second-quarter-2026-financial-results)</sup> The quarter also carried a $56 million impairment related to the refocused Digital Games portfolio for 2028 and beyond, and Consumer Products results were affected by a previously disclosed unauthorized network access (cyber incident) and incremental tariff expense.<sup>[22](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-reports-second-quarter-2026-financial-results)</sup> Hasbro raised full-year 2026 guidance to revenue up 5-7% in constant currency (from 3-5%) and an adjusted operating margin of 25-26% (from 24-25%).<sup>[22](https://newsroom.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-reports-second-quarter-2026-financial-results)</sup> Looking ahead, management expects Wizards operating margins in the low-40% range in 2026, absorbing higher royalty expense and incremental costs for the planned 2027 video game releases [Exodus](https://www.edgepedia.org/exodus-2027-video-game) and Warlock.<sup>[6](https://www.roic.ai/quote/0J3K.L/transcripts/2025-year/4-quarter)</sup>
