Certain statements in this release contain “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These statements include expectations concerning the Company’s
potential performance in the future, including with respect to
anticipated future benefits from investments in the Company’s business
and strategic efforts to grow the Company’s brand portfolio and content
delivery over the longer-term, and the Company’s ability to achieve its
other financial and business goals and may be identified by the use of
forward-looking words or phrases. The Company’s actual actions or
results may differ materially from those expected or anticipated in the
forward-looking statements due to both known and unknown risks and
uncertainties. Specific factors that might cause such a difference
include, but are not limited to: (i) the Company’s ability to design,
develop, produce, manufacture, source and ship products on a timely and
cost-effective basis, as well as interest in and purchase of those
products by retail customers and consumers in quantities and at prices
that will be sufficient to profitably recover the Company’s costs; (ii)
downturns in economic conditions affecting the Company’s markets which
can negatively impact the Company’s retail customers and consumers, and
which can result in lower employment levels, lower consumer disposable
income and spending, including lower spending on purchases of the
Company’s products; (iii) other factors which can lower discretionary
consumer spending, such as higher costs for fuel and food, drops in the
value of homes or other consumer assets, and high levels of consumer
debt; (iv) potential difficulties or delays the Company may experience
in implementing cost savings and efficiency enhancing initiatives; (v)
other economic and public health conditions or regulatory changes in the
markets in which the Company and its customers and suppliers operate
which could create delays or increase the Company’s costs, such as
higher commodity prices, labor costs or transportation costs, or
outbreaks of disease; (vi) currency fluctuations, including movements in
foreign exchange rates, which can lower the Company’s net revenues and
earnings, and significantly impact the Company’s costs; (vii) the
concentration of the Company’s customers, potentially increasing the
negative impact to the Company of difficulties experienced by any of the
Company’s customers or changes in their purchasing or selling patterns;
(viii) consumer interest in and acceptance of the Discovery Family
Channel, and programming created by Hasbro Studios, and other factors
impacting the financial performance of the network and Hasbro Studios;
(ix) the inventory policies of the Company’s retail customers, including
retailers’ potential decisions to lower their inventories, even if it
results in lost sales, as well as the concentration of the Company’s
revenues in the second half of the year, which coupled with reliance by
retailers on quick response inventory management techniques increases
the risk of underproduction of popular items, overproduction of less
popular items and failure to achieve compressed shipping schedules; (x)
delays, increased costs or difficulties associated with any of our or
our partners’ planned digital applications or media initiatives; (xi)
work disruptions, which may impact the Company’s ability to manufacture
or deliver product in a timely and cost-effective manner; (xii) the
bankruptcy or other lack of success of one of the Company’s significant
retailers which could negatively impact the Company’s revenues or bad
debt exposure; (xiii) the impact of competition on revenues, margins and
other aspects of the Company’s business, including the ability to offer
Company products which consumers choose to buy instead of competitive
products, the ability to secure, maintain and renew popular licenses and
the ability to attract and retain talented employees; (xiv)
concentration of manufacturing for many of the Company’s products in the
People’s Republic of China and the associated impact to the Company of
social, economic or public health conditions and other factors affecting
China, the movement of products into and out of China, the cost of
producing products in China and exporting them to other countries; (xv)
the risk of product recalls or product liability suits and costs
associated with product safety regulations; (xvi) the impact of other
market conditions, third party actions or approvals and competition
which could reduce demand for the Company’s products or delay or
increase the cost of implementation of the Company’s programs or alter
the Company’s actions and reduce actual results; (xvii) the impact of
litigation or arbitration decisions or settlement actions; and (xviii)
other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in
the Company’s public announcements and Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to make
any revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this
release or to update them to reflect events or circumstances occurring
after the date of this release.

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures as defined under
SEC rules. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.
These non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA. EBITDA represents net
earnings attributable to Hasbro, Inc. excluding net loss attributable to
noncontrolling interests, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation
and amortization. As required by SEC rules, we have provided
reconciliation on the attached schedule of this measure to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that EBITDA is one
of the appropriate measures for evaluating the operating performance of
the Company because it reflects the resources available for strategic
opportunities including, among others, to invest in the business,
strengthen the balance sheet, and make strategic acquisitions.

The press release also includes certain of the Company’s 2015 cost and
expenses, income tax expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per
share excluding the impact of the sale of the Company’s manufacturing
operations in East Longmeadow, MA and Waterford, Ireland. Management
believes that the presentation excluding the impact of the sale better
reflects the results of the underlying operations of the Company. In
addition, the press release includes the increases in the Company’s
International segment and certain region net revenues excluding the
impact of changes in exchange rates. The impact of changes in exchange
rates is calculated by translating the 2016 local currency revenues at
2015 actual rates and comparing this amount to the 2016 reported
revenues. Management believes that the presentation excluding the impact
of exchange rate changes provides information that is helpful to an
investor’s understanding of the underlying business performance absent
exchange rate fluctuations which are beyond the Company’s control. These
measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for,
or superior to, net earnings or other measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in the
Company’s financial statements and filings with the SEC. As used herein,
“GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
