Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or content is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or content. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Within our Entertainment, Licensing and Digital segment and our eOne segment the Company may receive royalty payments from licensees in advance of the licensees’ subsequent sales to their customers, or in advance of the Company’s performance obligation being satisfied. In addition, the Company may receive payments from its digital gaming business in advance of the recognition of the revenues. The Company defers revenues on these advanced payments until its performance obligation is satisfied and records the aggregate deferred revenues as liabilities. The Company records contract assets in the case of minimum guarantees that are being recognized ratably over the term of the respective license periods which varies based on sales over and above the contracts’ minimum guarantee. The current portion of contract assets were recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, respectively, and the long-term portion were recorded as Other Long-Term Assets.

Disaggregation of revenues

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by segment: U.S. and Canada, International, Entertainment, Licensing and Digital, and eOne. The Company further disaggregates revenues within its International segment by major geographic region: Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Finally, the Company disaggregates its revenues by brand portfolio into five brand categories: Franchise brands, Partner brands, Hasbro gaming, Emerging brands, and TV/Film/Entertainment. We believe these collectively depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 12, Segment Reporting, for further information.
