Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

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, television and film production cost and production financing loans (see note 7) as well as 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

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, certain production financing loans and other cross-border transactions, primarily for the remainder of 2022, 2023, and to a lesser extent, 2024.

At June 26, 2022, June 27, 2021 and December 26, 2021, the notional amounts and fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows:

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 changes. The Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts as changes in the fair values of these contracts are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the intercompany loans. Additionally, to manage transactional exposure to fair value movements on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company has implemented a balance sheet hedging program. The Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts as changes in the fair values of these contracts are offset by changes in the fair value of the balance sheet items. As of June 26, 2022, June 27, 2021 and December 26, 2021 the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $464.7 million, $573.0 million and $632.0 million, respectively.

At June 26, 2022, June 27, 2021 and December 26, 2021, the fair values of the Company's undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:


	June 26, 2022		June 27, 2021		December 26, 2021
Prepaid expenses and other current assets

The Company recorded net gains of $16.7 million and $20.5 million on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, and net gains (losses) of $5.4 million and $(0.7) million for the quarter and six months ended June 27, 2021, 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.
