Segments and organizational changes

While Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment revenue will increase 22% YoY to $339 million, the Consumer Products and Entertainment segments will see double-digit declines. Revenues in Consumer Products will be down 26% to $1 billion with the underperformance attributed to a challenging holiday consumer environment. Entertainment segment revenues will be down 12% YoY to $335 million.

Hasbro aims to generate $250-300 million in annualized run-rate cost savings by the end of 2025. As part of these efforts, the company is laying off 15% of its global workforce. The toymaker had also announced that its COO Eric Nyman is leaving the company. Details on the changes to its organizational model as well as management team are worth looking out for.

Preliminary full-year results

For the full year of 2022, revenue will be down 9% YoY to $5.86 billion. GAAP EPS will be $1.40-1.46 while adjusted EPS will be $4.43-4.45.
