HASBRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Thousands of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)

(Unaudited)

 

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Hasbro, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries ("Hasbro" or the "Company") as of July 2, 2017 and June 26, 2016, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The quarters ended July 2, 2017 and June 26, 2016 were each 13-week periods. The six-month period ended July 2, 2017 was a 27-week period while the six-month period ended June 26, 2016 was a 26-week period.

 

The results of operations for the quarter and six-month periods ended July 2, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable 2016 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2016.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  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 audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes all such information and disclosures and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial information included herein.

 

The Company's accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016 with the exception of the accounting policy related to stock compensation.  During the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes provisions intended to simplify how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements including:

·          Prospectively, the requirement to record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement through the income statement.  For the six-months ended July 2, 2017, excess tax benefits of $15,461 were recorded to income tax expense.  

·          A requirement that all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows.  Previously, these amounts were reported as a cash inflow from financing activities.  The Company elected to apply this requirement of the standard retrospectively.  Accordingly, the cash flow statement for the six months ended June 26, 2016 has been restated to include $18,423 of cash flows from excess tax benefits, previously included as financing activities, in operating activities with other income tax cash flows.  For the six months ended July 2, 2017 excess tax benefits of $15,461 were reported as operating activities.

·          A requirement that all cash payments made to taxing authorities on the employees’ behalf for withheld shares shall be presented as financing activities in the statements of cash flows.  Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-09, these cash flows were included as operating activities. This change was required to be applied on a retrospective basis and as a result, the Company has restated the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 26, 2016. This change resulted in payments of $18,672 for the six months ended June 26, 2016 being included in financing activities.  For the six months ended July 2, 2017, such payments amounted to $31,400.

 


 

·          Entities are permitted to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards choosing either to estimate forfeitures as previously required or recognize forfeitures as they occur. The Company elected to change its method of accounting for forfeitures from estimating the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, to accounting for forfeitures as they occur which resulted in a one-time charge, net of tax, of $700 to retained earnings recorded during the first quarter of 2017. Based upon the Company’s history of forfeitures, it is not expected that this election will have a material impact on its financial statements going forward however, as any impact will be based on future forfeitures, the actual impact could differ from the Company’s expectation.

 

Through 2016, the Company had one investment with a redeemable noncontrolling interest which was the Company’s 70% majority interest in Backflip Studios, LLC (“Backflip”). During the first quarter of 2017, the Company acquired the remaining 30% of Backflip for no additional consideration, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

At July 2, 2017, the Company had remaining net deferred gains on foreign currency forward contracts, net of tax, of $4,724 in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCE"). These instruments hedge payments related to inventory purchased in the second quarter of 2017 or forecasted to be purchased during the remainder of 2017 and, to a lesser extent, 2018 through 2021, intercompany expenses expected to be paid or received during 2017 and 2018, cash receipts for sales made at the end of the second quarter of 2017 or forecasted to be made in the remainder of 2017 and, to a lesser extent, 2018 through 2019. These amounts will be reclassified into the consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the related inventory or recognition of the related sales or expenses. 

 

In addition to foreign currency forward contracts, the Company entered into hedging contracts on future interest payments related to the long-term notes due 2021 and 2044.  At the date of debt issuance, these contracts were terminated and the fair value on the date of settlement was deferred in AOCE and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes using the effective interest rate method. At July 2, 2017, deferred losses, net of tax of $17,620 related to these instruments remained in AOCE. For the quarters ended July 2, 2017 and June 26, 2016, previously deferred losses of $450 were reclassified from AOCE to net earnings. For the six month periods ended July 2, 2017 and June 26, 2016, previously deferred losses of $934 and $899 were reclassified from AOCE to net earnings, respectively.

 

 


 

Of the amount included in AOCE at July 2, 2017, the Company expects net losses of approximately $8,476 to be reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations within the next 12 months. However, the amount ultimately realized in earnings is dependent on the fair value of the hedging instruments on the settlement dates.

 

(4) Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. At July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, the carrying cost of these instruments approximated their fair value. The Company's financial instruments at July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016 also include certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value (see Notes 6 and 8) as well as long-term borrowings. The carrying costs which are equal to the outstanding principal amounts, and fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings as of July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016 are as follows:

Current portion of long-term debt at July 2, 2017 and December 25, 2016 of $349,916 and $349,713, respectively, as shown on the consolidated balance sheet represents the $350,000 principal of 6.30% notes less $84 and $287, respectively, of deferred debt expenses.

 

The fair values of the Company's long-term debt are considered Level 3 fair values (see Note 6 for further discussion of the fair value hierarchy) and are measured using the discounted future cash flows method. In addition to the debt terms, the valuation methodology includes an assumption of a discount rate that approximates the current yield on a similar debt security. This assumption is considered an unobservable input in that it reflects the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement.

  

 

(5) Income Taxes

 

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and international jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is regularly audited by U.S. federal, state and local and international tax authorities in various tax jurisdictions.

  

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2012. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. state or local and non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major jurisdictions for years before 2009.  In the third quarter of 2016, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination related to the 2012 and 2013 amended U.S. federal income tax returns.  The Company is also under income tax examination in several U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions.                  

 

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

 


 

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access; Level 2 fair values are those based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 fair values are based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Accounting standards permit entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and establish presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The Company has elected the fair value option for certain available-for-sale investments. At July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, these investments totaled $23,967, $23,056 and $23,571, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded net gains of $384 and $1,015 on these investments in other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-months ended July 2, 2017, respectively, related to the change in fair value of such instruments.  For the quarter and six-month periods ended June 26, 2016 the Company recorded net losses of $399 and $482, respectively, in other (income) expense, net, related to the change in fair value of such instruments.

 

 


 

At July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, the Company had the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets (excluding assets for which the fair value is measured using net asset value per share):

Available-for-sale securities include equity securities of one company quoted on an active public market.

 

 


 

The Company's derivatives consist of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company used current forward rates of the respective foreign currencies to measure the fair value of these contracts. The option agreement included in other liabilities at July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, is valued using an option pricing model based on the fair value of the related investment.  Inputs used in the option pricing model include the volatility and fair value of the underlying company which are considered unobservable inputs as they reflect the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement. There were no changes in these valuation techniques during the six-month period ended July 2, 2017.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements of the Company's financial instruments which use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

In addition to the above, the Company has three investments for which the fair value is measured using net asset value per share. At July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, these investments had fair values of $23,967, $23,056 and $23,571, respectively. Two of the investments have net asset values that are predominantly based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market and are redeemable within 45 days. The third investment invests in hedge funds which are generally redeemable on a quarterly basis with 30 – 90 days’ notice.

(8) Derivative Financial Instruments

 

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 and 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

 

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. 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 and other cross-border transactions in 2017 through 2021.

 

At July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, 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.  As of July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016 the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $163,969, $105,569 and $268,308, respectively.

 

At July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, the fair values of the Company's undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:
