HASBRO, INC. Revenue Disclosure
Revenue Recognition
Contract Assets and Liabilities
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contracts to license certain of the Company’s intellectual property, providing licensees right-to-use or access such intellectual property for use in the production and sale of consumer products and digital game development, location-based entertainment, and for use within content for distribution over streaming platforms and for television and film. The Company also licenses owned television and film content for distribution to third parties in formats that include broadcast, digital streaming and theatrical. Through these arrangements, the Company may receive advanced royalty payments from licensees, either in advance of a licensees’ subsequent sales to customers or prior to the completion of the Company’s performance obligation. In addition, the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment may receive advanced payments from end users of its digital games at the time of the initial purchase, through in-application purchases or through subscription services. The Company defers revenues on all licensee and digital gaming advanced payments until the respective performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company records the aggregate deferred revenues as contract liabilities, with the current portion recorded within Accrued liabilities and the long-term portion recorded within Other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records contract assets, primarily related to (1) minimum guarantees being recognized in advance of contractual invoicing, which are recognized ratably over the terms of the respective license periods, and (2) film and television distribution revenues recorded for content delivered, where payment will occur over the license term. The current portion of contract assets is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion is recorded within Other assets.
The opening and closing balances of contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:
| (In millions) | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||
Contract Assets: | |||||||||||
| Balance, beginning of period | $ | 241.4 | $ | 213.3 | |||||||

| Balance, beginning of period | $ | 236.8 | $ | 230.8 | |||||||
| Balance, end of period | $ | 190.5 | $ | 236.8 | |||||||
The increase in contract assets during 2025 and 2024 is primarily the result of an increase in the amount of revenues recognized in advance of contractual invoicing, offset by the impact of previously unbilled revenues that were invoiced throughout the period within the ordinary course of business.
The change in contract liabilities during 2025 and 2024 is primarily the result of an increase in the amount of advanced payments received from customers relating to performance obligations that had not yet been satisfied, offset by $218.0 million and $134.2 million of revenues recognized that were included in the beginning contract liabilities balance as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
As of December 28, 2025, revenue for unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future is $965.4 million, primarily for intellectual property to be made available in the future under existing agreements with merchandise and co-branding licensees and television station affiliates. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately $223.5 million in 2026, $164.5 million in 2027, $128.9 million in 2028, and $448.5 million thereafter. These amounts include only fixed consideration or minimum guarantees and do not include amounts related to (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) licenses of intellectual property that are solely based on the sales of the licensee.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company’s balance for Accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 are primarily derived from contracts with customers. A summary of the related allowance for credit losses activity is as follows:

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
