(HAS:ASE) today reported third quarter revenues of $845,148,000, up from $826,165,000 in the third quarter of 1995. Net earnings for the quarter increased to $70,469,000 or $.81 per share, a growth of approximately 13% from the 1995 level of $63,572,000, or $.72 per share. For the nine months, revenues totaled $1,895,442,000, compared with $1,834,522,000 in 1995. Net earnings for the year to date were $100,820,000, or $1.15 per share, up 14% from the $89,488,000, or $1.01 per share a year ago, absent the impact of the second quarter 1995 $31,100,000 pretax charge related to a discontinued development project. The reported 1995 nine month earnings were $70,362,000, or $.80 per share. "I am very pleased to be able to report growth in both revenues and earnings again this quarter", said Alan G. Hassenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In the United States, boys' toys and the game products from Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers continued the momentum which was evident in the second quarter. Our Batman(R) and Star Wars(R) action figures and accessories provided fun-filled play experiences for children throughout the country and our line of large dolls, including the number one at retail, Baby Go Bye Bye(TM) continued to be strong. Our classic games performed very well and we continued to see impressive strength in many of our newer items, including Puzz 3D(TM) and the Goosebumps(TM) games and puzzles. Internationally, absent the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation rates and reflecting growth in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Asia/Pacific and our K'Nex operations, revenues marginally exceeded those of a year ago." He continued, "This revenue increase also drove our earnings. Additionally, earnings were helped by a reduction in the tax rate, largely due to a one-time benefit from the expected utilization of certain international tax losses from prior years. Adversely impacting us this quarter were the costs provided for the previously announced closing of our Amsterdam, New York manufacturing facility." "During the quarter we aggressively continued the repurchase of our shares in the open market, adding more than 800,000 to those in our treasury. During the past twelve months we have purchased in excess of 2,100,000 shares and have authorization to purchase almost 4,000,000 more. Even after these purchases, which have used approximately $75,000,000 of cash, our balance sheet remains strong. Receivables, while at a higher level than those of a year ago, are relatively constant when expressed as days sales outstanding and the growth in inventories experienced recently continues to moderate." Mr. Hassenfeld concluded, "The momentum that started in the 4th quarter of 1995 is continuing. Our new products are being well received and we just completed a very successful preview of our 1997 line with our major customers. We are optimistic about the full year and look forward with great anticipation to 1997 when we will present product for three of the year's major movie releases - the re-release of `Star Wars Trilogy', Steven Spielberg's `Jurassic Park - The Lost World' and the fourth Batman movie, `Batman and Robin'. All of this, coupled with our work to turn Hasbro into a global, brand driven organization, is part of our continuing effort to enhance shareholder value." # # # (Tables Attached) HASBRO, INC.
