Factors Likely to Shape HAS’ Quarterly Results
Hasbro’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 performance is likely to have benefited from strategic investments in innovation, a focus on strategic collaborations and sales-boosting initiatives. This, and strength in Gaming and Licensing are likely to have aided the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Licensing remains a strong performer for Hasbro, with Monopoly Go! stabilizing at approximately $10 million in monthly licensing revenues. Scopely, the game's development partner, continues to introduce innovative features, including third-party content from Marvel and the Tycoon Club loyalty program aimed at enhancing player engagement. The initiatives are likely to have driven user acquisition and retention in the fiscal fourth quarter. The company expects Monopoly Go! to contribute roughly $105 million in revenues in fiscal 2024.
The Consumer Products segment is likely to have remained under pressure due to weakness in action figures, particularly Star Wars, and reduced closeout sales. Our model predicts revenues from Consumer Products to fall 2.6% year over year to $734.3 million. The company expects the segmental revenues to fall in the range of 12% to 14% in fiscal 2024.
Soft contributions from Total Wizards Of The Coast & Digital Gaming segment and Entertainment segment are likely to be reflected in the company’s fiscal fourth quarter top line. Our model predicts revenues from Total Wizards Of The Coast & Digital Gaming segment and Entertainment segment to fall 21.4% and 89.5% year over year to $285.3 million and $18.1 million, respectively.
Higher royalty expenses from brands like Beyblade and Transformers, coupled with increased marketing investments during the holiday season, are likely to have negatively impacted the company’s profitability in the fiscal fourth quarter.
