At June 28, 2015, the Company had remaining net deferred gains on foreign currency forward contracts, net of tax, of $98,835 in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCE"). These instruments hedge payments related to inventory purchased in the second quarter of 2015 or forecasted to be purchased during the remainder of 2015 and, to a lesser extent, 2016 through 2020, intercompany expenses expected to be paid or received during 2015 and 2016, cash receipts for sales made at the end of the second quarter of 2015 or forecasted to be made in the remainder of 2015 and, to a lesser extent, 2016 through 2017. These amounts will be reclassified into the consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the related inventory or recognition of the related sales or expenses. 

In addition to foreign currency forward contracts, the Company entered into hedging contracts on future interest payments related to the long-term notes due 2021 and 2044.  At the date of debt issuance, these contracts were terminated and the fair value on the date of settlement was deferred in AOCE and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes using the effective interest rate method. At June 28, 2015, deferred losses, net of tax of $19,937 related to these instruments remained in AOCE. For the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015, losses of $449 and $889, respectively, were reclassified from AOCE to net earnings.  For both the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014, losses of $257 were reclassified from AOCE to net earnings.

Of the amount included in AOCE at June 28, 2015, the Company expects approximately $46,129 to be reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations within the next 12 months. However, the amount ultimately realized in earnings is dependent on the fair value of the hedging instruments on the settlement dates.

Basis of Presentation

(1) Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Hasbro, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries ("Hasbro" or the "Company") as of June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The quarters ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 are each 13-week periods. The six-month periods ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 are each 26-week periods.

The results of operations for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable 2014 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2014.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The Company filed audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes all such information and disclosures and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial information included herein.

The Company's accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access; Level 2 fair values are those based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 fair values are based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Accounting standards permit entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and establish presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The Company has elected the fair value option for certain available-for-sale investments. At June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014, these investments totaled $32,766, $33,528 and $23,560, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded net losses of $87 and $70 on these investments in other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-months ended June 28, 2015, respectively, related to the change in fair value of such instruments.  For the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 the Company recorded net gains of $1,063 and $2,240, respectively, in other (income) expense, net, related to the change in fair value of such instruments.

At June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014, the Company had the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets:

			Fair Value Measurements Using:

Option agreement		25,340		-		-		25,340
Total Liabilities	$	27,931		-		2,591		25,340

Available-for-sale securities include equity securities of one company quoted on an active public market as well as certain investments valued at net asset values quoted on private markets that are not active. These net asset values are predominantly based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market; investments are redeemable within 45 days. The Company also holds an available-for-sale investment in Brazil similar to a repurchase agreement; this investment is valued at the principal plus any interest accrued on the instrument.Lastly, the Company holds an available-for-sale investment which invests in hedge funds and contains financial instruments that are valued using certain estimates which are considered unobservable in that they reflect the investment manager's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that these estimates are the best information available for use in the fair value of this investment.

The Company's derivatives consist primarily of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company used current forward rates of the respective foreign currencies to measure the fair value of these contracts. The option agreement included in other liabilities at June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014, is valued using an option pricing model based on the fair value of the related investment.  Inputs used in the option pricing model include the volatility and fair value of the underlying company which are considered unobservable inputs as they reflect the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement. There were no changes in these valuation techniques during the first half of 2015.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements of the Company's financial instruments which use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

	2015			2014
Balance at beginning of year	$	(19,553	)		5,484

Segment Reporting

(10) Segment Reporting

Hasbro is a worldwide leader in children's and family leisure time products and services with a broad portfolio of brands and entertainment properties spanning toys, games, licensed products ranging from traditional to high-tech and digital, and film and television entertainment. The Company's segments are (i) U.S. and Canada, (ii) International, (iii) Entertainment and Licensing, and (iv) Global Operations.

The U.S. and Canada segment includes the marketing and selling of action figures, arts and crafts and creative play products, electronic toys and related electronic interactive products, fashion and other dolls, infant products, play sets, preschool toys, plush products, sports action blasters and accessories, vehicles and toy-related specialty products, as well as traditional board games and puzzles, and trading card and role-playing games primarily within the United States and Canada. Within the International segment, the Company markets and sells both toy and game products in markets outside of the U.S. and Canada, primarily in the European, Asia Pacific, and Latin and South American regions. The Company's Entertainment and Licensing segment includes the Company's lifestyle licensing, digital gaming, movie and television entertainment operations. The Global Operations segment is responsible for manufacturing and sourcing finished products for the Company's U.S. and Canada and International segments.

Segment performance is measured at the operating profit level. Included in Corporate and Eliminations are certain corporate expenses, including the elimination of intersegment transactions and certain assets benefiting more than one segment. Intersegment sales and transfers are reflected in management reports at amounts approximating cost. Certain shared costs, including global development and marketing expenses and corporate administration, are allocated to segments based upon expenses and foreign exchange rates fixed at the beginning of the year, with adjustments to actual expenses and foreign exchange rates included in Corporate and Eliminations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those referenced in note 1.

Results shown for the quarter and six months are not necessarily representative of those which may be expected for the full year 2015, nor were those of the comparable 2014 period representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2014. Similarly, such results are not necessarily those which would be achieved were each segment an unaffiliated business enterprise.

Information by segment and a reconciliation to reported amounts for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 are as follows.

Derivative Financial Instruments (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

(8) Derivative Financial Instruments

Hasbro uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. These over-the-counter contracts, which hedge future currency requirements related to purchases of inventory, product sales and other cross-border transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the business unit, are primarily denominated in United States and Hong Kong dollars, and Euros. All contracts are entered into with a number of counterparties, all of which are major financial institutions. The Company believes that a default by a single counterparty would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. Hasbro does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. All of the Company's designated foreign currency forward contracts are considered to be cash flow hedges. These instruments hedge a portion of the Company's currency requirements associated with anticipated inventory purchases, product sales and other cross-border transactions in 2015 through 2020.

At June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014, the notional amounts and fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows:

	June 28, 2015					June 29, 2014					December 28, 2014
Hedged transaction	Notional Amount		Fair Value			Notional Amount		Fair Value			Notional Amount		Fair Value
Inventory purchases	$	1,081,451		111,252			747,516		(8,500	)		863,232		69,049
Sales		239,415		(7,659	)		189,357		(4,613	)		139,946		829
Other		74,433		(971	)		43,042		(1,949	)		51,213		(1,008	)
Total	$	1,395,299		102,622			979,915		(15,062	)		1,054,391		68,870

The Company has a master agreement with each of its counterparties that allows for the netting of outstanding forward contracts. The fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014 as follows:

	June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014			December 28, 2014
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Unrealized gains	$	63,740			422			46,594
Unrealized losses		(12,302	)		(248	)		(11,508	)
Net unrealized gain	$	51,438			174			35,086
Other assets
Unrealized gains	$	54,664			315			34,234
Unrealized losses		(732	)		(22	)		(172	)
Net unrealized gains	$	53,932			293			34,062
Accrued liabilities
Unrealized gains	$	4,349			2,563			447
Unrealized losses		(7,026	)		(16,475	)		(725	)
Net unrealized loss	$	(2,677	)		(13,912	)		(278	)

Unrealized gains	$	-			1,118			-
Unrealized losses		(71	)		(2,735	)		-
Net unrealized loss	$	(71	)		(1,617	)		-

Net gains (losses) on cash flow hedging activities have been reclassified from other comprehensive earnings (loss) to net earnings for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 as follows:

	Quarter Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014			June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014
Statements of Operations Classification
Cost of sales	$	12,683			821			22,746			(198	)
Sales		(2,645	)		(704	)		(3,999	)		(863	)
Other		12			(260	)		55			(610	)
Net realized gains (losses)	$	10,050			(143	)		18,802			(1,671	)

In addition, gains of $567 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 28, 2015, and net (losses) gains of $(3) and $62 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively.

Undesignated Hedges

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the impact of changes in the fair value of intercompany loans due to foreign currency fluctuations. Due to the nature of the derivative contracts involved, the Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts.  At June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014 the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $124,171, $248,908 and $294,571, respectively.

At June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014, the fair values of the Company's undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

	June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014			December 28, 2014
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Unrealized gains	$	563			-			-

Net unrealized loss		-			(602	)		(2,313	)
Total unrealized gain (loss), net	$	536			(536	)		(2,313	)

The Company recorded net gains of $8,883 and $18,954 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 28, 2015, respectively, and $4,179 and $62 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, substantially offsetting gains and losses from the change in fair value of intercompany loans to which the contracts relate.

(4) Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. At June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014, the carrying cost of these instruments approximated their fair value. The Company's financial instruments at June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014 also include certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value (see Notes 6 and 8) as well as long-term borrowings. The carrying costs which are equal to the outstanding principal amounts, and fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings as of June 28, 2015, June 29, 2014 and December 28, 2014 are as follows:

In May 2014, the Company issued $600,000 in long-term debt which consists of $300,000 of 3.15% Notes Due in 2021 and $300,000 of 5.10% Notes Due in 2044 (collectively, the "Notes").  The Company may redeem the Notes at its option at the greater of the principal amount of the Notes or the present value of the remaining scheduled payments discounted using the effective interest rate on applicable U.S. Treasury bills at the time of repurchase.

The fair values of the Company's long-term debt are considered Level 3 fair values (see Note 6 for further discussion of the fair value hierarchy) and are measured using the discounted future cash flows method. In addition to the debt terms, the valuation methodology includes an assumption of a discount rate that approximates the current yield on a similar debt security. This assumption is considered an unobservable input in that it reflects the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement.
