Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Hasbro, Inc. and all consolidated subsidiaries ("Hasbro" or the "Company") as of March 31, 2024, April 2, 2023, and December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and cash flows and shareholders' equity for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The quarters ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023 were 13-week and 14-week periods, respectively.

The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year 2024, nor were those of the comparable 2023 period representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2023.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). 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 with the SEC audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023 Form 10-K"), which includes all such information and disclosures and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial information included herein.

Other Adjustments

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company corrected a prior year error and recorded an $18.1 million benefit related to the reversal of stock compensation expense for the Company's performance stock awards that should have been recorded during fiscal year 2023. The $18.1 million benefit recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 is not considered to be material to the full year 2023 or 2024 consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, there were no recently adopted accounting standards that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update enhance disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280. The standard did not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are assessing the impact of this ASU and upon adoption expect that any impact would be limited to additional segment expense disclosures in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements. We expect to adopt the standard beginning with our 2024 Form 10-K.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements in Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment requires public companies to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, under the amendment, entities are required to disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, as well as disaggregated by material individual

jurisdictions. Finally, the amendment requires entities to disclose income from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. The new rules are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
