Basis of Presentation

(1) Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Hasbro, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries ("Hasbro" or the "Company") as of September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, 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 September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 were each 13-week periods. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was a 39-week period while the nine-month period ended October 1, 2017 was a 40-week period.

The results of operations for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable 2017 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2017. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

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 31, 2017 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2017 Form 10-K”), which includes all such information and disclosures and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial information included herein.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company's accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in its 2017 Form 10-K with the exception of the accounting policies related to revenue recognition, reclassification of disproportionate tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost and Business Combinations, Clarifying the Definition of a Business.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606 or the “New Revenue Standard”) using the modified retrospective method. ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance in U.S. GAAP. The New Revenue Standard provides a five-step model for analyzing contracts and transactions to determine when, how, and if revenue is recognized. Revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The cumulative impact of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard was not material to the Company therefore the Company did not record any adjustments to retained earnings. This was determined by analyzing contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. For further details, see Note 2.

Revenue recognition from the sale of finished product to customers, which is the majority of the Company’s revenues, did not change under the new standard and the Company does not expect material changes in the future as a result of the New Revenue Standard related to the sale of finished product to its customers. Within the Company’s Entertainment and Licensing segment, the timing of revenue recognition for minimum guarantees that the Company receives from licensees is impacted by the New Revenue Standard. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, for licenses of the Company’s brands that are subject to minimum guaranteed license fees, the Company recognized the difference between the minimum guaranteed amount and the actual royalties earned from licensee merchandise sales (“shortfalls”) at the end of the contract period, which was in the fourth quarter for most of the Company’s licensee arrangements. In periods following January 1, 2018, minimum guaranteed amounts will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the license period. While the impact of this change will not be material to the year, it will impact the timing of revenue recognition within the Company’s Entertainment and Licensing segment such that under ASC 606, less revenues will be recorded in the fourth quarter and more revenues will be recorded within the first, second, and third quarters. No other areas of the Company’s business were materially impacted by the New Revenue Standard.

In January 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01(“ASU 2017-01”), Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The standard clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of providing guidance when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public companies, this standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. For further details, see Note 3.

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02 (“ASU 2018-02”), Income Statement -Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The standard provides for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive earnings (“AOCE”) to retained earnings, of disproportionate income tax effects arising from the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. For public companies, this standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of the adoption resulted in a one-time reclassification in the amount of $21,503 from AOCE with a corresponding credit to retained earnings.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07 (ASU 2017-07), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The standard requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the income statement line items where they report compensation cost. Companies will present all other components of net benefit cost outside operating income, if this subtotal is presented. For public companies, this standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results or consolidated financial statements in the quarter or nine-months ended September 30, 2018.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice across all industries, in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 was effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard in 2018 and the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017.

In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16 (ASU 2016-16), Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. For public companies, this standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires that the income tax impact of intra-entity sales and transfers of property, except for inventory, be recognized when the transfer occurs requiring any deferred taxes not yet recognized on intra-entity transfers to be recorded to retained earnings. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s results or consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition	9 Months Ended
Revenue Recognition	Sep. 30, 2018
Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition Policy	(2) Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. Toy and Games The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from sales of finished products to customers. Revenues from sales of finished products to customers accounted for 92% and 95% of the Company’s revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, respectively. When determining whether control of the finished products has transferred to the customer, the Company considers any future performance obligations. Generally, the Company has no post-shipment obligation on sales of finished products to customers and revenues from product sales are recognized upon passing of title to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. Any shipping and handling activities that are performed by the Company, whether before or after a customer has obtained control of the products, are considered activities to fulfill our obligation to transfer the products, and are recorded as incurred within selling, distribution, and administration expenses. For the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 these costs were approximately $55,029 and $57,725, respectively, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, these costs were approximately $138,916 and $131,809, respectively. The Company offers various discounts, rebates, allowances, returns, and markdowns to its customers, (collectively, “allowances”), all of which are considered when determining the transaction price. Certain allowances are fixed and determinable at the time of sale and are recorded at the time of sale as a reduction to revenues. Other allowances can vary depending on future outcomes such as customer sales volume (“variable consideration”). The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration using the expected value method. In estimating the amount of variable consideration using the expected value method, the Company considers various factors including but not limited to: customer terms, historical experience, any expected deviations from historical experience, and existing or expected market conditions. The Company then records an estimate of variable consideration as a reduction to revenues at the time of sale. The Company adjusts its estimate of variable consideration at least quarterly or when facts and circumstances used in the estimation process may change. Historically, adjustments to estimated variable consideration have not been material. Entertainment and Licensing Revenues within the Company’s Entertainment and Licensing segment, which accounted for 6% and 5% of the Company’s revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, respectively, are recorded either over a period of time or at a point in time. The Company enters into contracts to license its intellectual property, which consists of its brands, in various channels including but not limited to: consumer products such as apparel or home goods, within formats such as on-line games, within venues such as theme parks, or within formats such as motion picture films. The licensees pay the Company either a sales-based or usage-based royalty, or a combination of both, for use of the brands, in some cases subject to minimum guaranteed amounts or fixed fees. The license of the Company’s brands provide access to the intellectual property over the term of the license, generally without any other performance obligation of the Company other than keeping the intellectual property active, and is therefore considered a right-to-access license of symbolic intellectual property. The Company records sales-based or usage-based royalty revenues for right-to-access licenses at the occurrence of the licensees’ subsequent sale or usage. When the arrangement includes a minimum guarantee, the Company records the minimum guarantee on a ratable basis over the term of the license period and does not record the sales-based or usage-based royalty revenues until they exceed the minimum guarantee. The Company also produces television or streaming programming for licensing to third parties. The licensees typically pay a fixed fee for the license of the produced content. The content that the Company delivers to its licensees has stand-alone functionality, generally without any other performance obligation of the Company, and is therefore considered a right-to-use license of functional intellectual property. The Company records revenues for right-to-use licenses once the license period has commenced and the licensee has the ability to use the delivered content. In arrangements where the licensee pays the Company a fixed fee for multiple seasons or multiple series of programming, arrangement fees are recorded as revenues based upon their relative fair values. As of September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any material future performance commitments for film streaming or television orders that have not yet been delivered. The Company also develops application based digital games featuring its brands within the games. These games are hosted by third-party platform providers. The Company does not charge a fee to the end users for the download of the games or the ability to play the games. The end users make in-application purchases of digital currencies, via the Company’s platform providers, with such purchased digital currencies to be used in the games. The Company records revenues from in-application purchases based on the usage patterns of the players. For the majority of the Company’s digital games, players use their currencies in the month of purchase, and therefore revenues are recorded at the time of sale. The Company has no additional performance obligations other than delivery of the currency via its platform providers. The Company controls all aspects of the goods delivered to the consumer. The third-party platform providers are providing only the service of hosting and administering receipt from the end users. The Company is the principal in the arrangement and records the gross revenues within Net Revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fee charged by the third-party platform providers to the Company are recorded within cost of sales. Contract Assets and Liabilities A contract asset is defined as an entity's right to consideration for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer. A contract liability is defined to occur if the customer's payment of consideration precedes the entity's performance and represents the entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration. The Company occasionally will require payment from customers for finished product in advance of the customer receiving control of the finished product. In these situations, the Company defers revenue on the advanced payment until the customer has control of the finished product, generally within the next month. Within our Entertainment and Licensing segment, the Company may receive royalty payments from licensees in advance of the licensees’ subsequent sales to their customers, or in advance of the Company’s performance obligation being satisfied. The Company defers revenues on these advanced payments until its performance obligation is satisfied. The aggregate deferred revenues are recorded as liabilities and were $43,653, and $10,261 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and the changes in deferred revenues are not material to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the nine-months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017. The Company records contract assets in the case of minimum guarantees that are being recognized ratably over the term of the respective license periods. At September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, these contract assets were not material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company’s accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 are primarily from contracts with customers. In the nine-months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a bad debt charge of $59,115 related to a significant customer. In the quarter ended October 1, 2017, the Company recorded a bad debt charge of $18,000 related to a significant customer. The Company had no other material bad debt expense in the nine-month period ended October 1, 2017 or the quarter ended on September 30, 2018. Disaggregation of revenues The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by segment: US and Canada, International, Entertainment and Licensing, and Global Operations. The Company further disaggregates revenues within its International segment by major geographic region: Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Finally, the Company disaggregates its revenues by brand portfolio into four brand categories: Franchise brands, Partner brands, Hasbro gaming, and Emerging brands. We believe these collectively depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 11, Segment Reporting, for further information.

Business Combination Disclosure [TextBlock]

(3) Asset Acquisition

On June 12, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Saban Properties’ Power Rangers and other Entertainment Assets. The Company accounted for the acquisition as an asset acquisition based on the guidance in ASU 2017-01, which uses the cost accumulation and allocation method. As such, the Company included acquisition costs in its calculation of the purchase price to be allocated to the assets acquired.

The total purchase price for the assets was $535,850, consisting of the following:


Cash Consideration:
To seller ⁽¹⁾	$	152,000
Held in escrow ⁽²⁾		25,000
Market value of stock issued to seller ⁽³⁾		280,397
Deferred purchase price due in January 2019 ⁽⁴⁾		75,000
		532,397
Acquisition costs		1,973
Other adjustment		1,480
Total Purchase Price to be allocated	$	535,850

1. The Company previously paid Saban Brands $22,250 for the Power Rangers master toy license agreement announced in February 2018 and those amounts were credited to, and included above, in the purchase price.

2. The $25,000 was placed into an escrow account to support customary indemnification obligations of Saban Properties, and is considered restricted cash within cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet with an offsetting liability included in other current liabilities. One-half of the $25,000 in escrow is scheduled to be released on January 3, 2019, and the remaining half to be released on the one-year anniversary of the closing date, less any claim amounts deducted from the escrow prior to those dates.

3. The Company issued 3,074,190 shares of Hasbro common stock to Saban Properties, valued at $280,397.

4. An additional $75,000 will be paid in January 2019 with no contingencies.

The total purchase price was allocated on a relative fair value basis as follows:

• $534,370 was recorded as an intangible asset – Power Rangers IP rights, which will be amortized over a period of 25 years;

• $7,884 as current assets;

• $325 as capitalized production costs; and

• $6,729 as other current liabilities.

For the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, options and restricted stock units totaling 949 and 450, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to include them would have been antidilutive. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, options and restricted stock units totaling 1,124 and 514, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to include them would have been antidilutive.

At September 30, 2018, the Company had remaining net deferred gains on foreign currency forward contracts, net of tax, of $12,255 in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCE"). These instruments hedge payments related to inventory purchased in the third quarter of 2018 or forecasted to be purchased during the remainder of 2018 and, to a lesser extent, 2019 through 2022, intercompany expenses expected to be paid or received during 2018 and 2019, television and movie production costs paid in 2018 or expected to be paid in 2018 or 2019 and cash receipts for sales made at the end of the third quarter 2018 or forecasted to be made in the remainder of 2018 and, to a lesser extent, 2019 through 2020. 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 September 30, 2018, deferred losses, net of tax, of $19,659 related to these instruments remained in AOCE. For the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, previously deferred losses of $450 were reclassified from AOCE to net earnings, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, previously deferred losses of $1,349 and $1,384 were reclassified from AOCE to net earnings, respectively.

Of the amount included in AOCE at September 30, 2018, the Company expects net gains of approximately $10,898 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.

(6) Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. At September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, the carrying cost of these instruments approximated their fair value. The Company's financial instruments at September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 also include certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value (see Notes 8 and 10) 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 September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 are as follows:

	September 30, 2018				October 1, 2017				December 31, 2017

The fair values of the Company's long-term debt are considered Level 3 fair values (see Note 8 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.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2018
Income Taxes (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(7) 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. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code which impacted 2017 including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate and requiring a one-time tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) established a one-year measurement period to complete the accounting for the ASC 740 income tax effects of the Tax Act. An entity recognizes the impact of those amounts for which the accounting is complete. For matters that have not been completed, provisional amounts are recorded to the extent they can be reasonably estimated. For amounts for which a reasonable estimate cannot be determined, no adjustment is made until such estimate can be completed. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time tax expense of $47,800 in the first quarter of 2018 which reversed certain discrete benefits recorded in 2017 as well as increased our provisional deemed repatriation tax liability. In the third quarter, the estimate was further revised based on additional guidance and a one-time tax benefit of $17,336 was recorded. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Act, the Company previously considered the earnings in non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, recorded no deferred income taxes. The Tax Act eliminates the deferral of U.S. income tax on these foreign earnings by imposing a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation tax and as a result, the Company now intends to repatriate substantially all of the accumulated foreign earnings. The Company still has significant cash needs outside the United States and we are currently analyzing our global working capital and cash requirements. However, tax reform gives the Company flexibility to manage cash globally. In 2017, the Company recorded $1,657 of non-US local country withholding taxes as part of the provisional repatriation tax amount, which will be incurred due to certain future cash distributions. In the third quarter, the Company recorded an additional $2,412 of net tax that reflects the state and local impact of proposed dividends from non-US subsidiaries to the parent Company. The Company will continue to record these additional tax effects, if any, in the period that the on-going distribution analysis is completed and is able to make reasonable estimates. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2013. 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 2012. The Company is currently under income tax examination in several U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Thousands of Dollars) [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(8) 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 September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, these investments totaled $24,201, $24,405 and $24,436, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded net (losses) gains of $(10) and $96 on these investments in other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, related to the change in fair value of such instruments. For the quarter and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2017, the Company recorded net gains of $446 and $1,461, respectively, in other (income) expense, net, related to the change in fair value of such instruments.

At September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, 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):

Total Liabilities	$	47,031		-		23,051		23,980

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 Company’s option agreement relates to an equity method investment in Discovery Family Channel (“Discovery”). The option agreement is included in other liabilities at September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, and 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

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):

	2018		2017
Balance at beginning of year	$	(23,980)		(28,770)
Gain from change in fair value		520		260
Balance at end of third quarter	$	(23,460)		(28,510)

In addition to the above, the Company has three investments for which the fair value is measured using net asset value per share. At September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, these investments had fair values of $24,201, $24,405 and $24,436, 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company made cash contributions of $770 to its defined benefit pension plans. During fiscal 2018, the Company expects to make cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of approximately $1,300 in the aggregate.

In February 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”). During the first quarter of 2018 the Company commenced the plan termination process and expects to complete the transfer of the Plan’s assets to a third-party administrator over a period of eighteen months. The decision to terminate the Plan follows the 2015 decision to freeze benefits being accrued covering non-union employees after the sale of the Company’s manufacturing facility in East Longmeadow, MA. Benefits covering non-union employees were frozen in December 2007.

In connection with the decision to terminate the Plan, the Company remeasured the projected benefit obligation based on the expected Plan termination costs. This remeasurement utilized a discount rate of 3.2% compared to the discount rate of 3.7% utilized in the December 31, 2017 measurement and resulted in an increase in the projected benefit obligation of $35,192 with offsetting amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive losses and deferred taxes. Upon settlement of the pension liability, the Company will reclassify the related pension losses currently recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had unrecognized losses related to the Plan of $142,997. The Company will recognize this loss upon termination of the Plan, adjusted for year-end remeasurement, as well as the total required payout to plan participants which will be determined based on employee elections and market conditions present at the time of termination.

(10) 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 2018 through 2022.

At September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, the notional amounts and fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows:

	September 30, 2018				October 1, 2017				December 31, 2017

The Company has a master agreement with each of its counterparties that allows for the netting of outstanding forward contracts. The fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 as follows:

Net gains (losses) on cash flow hedging activities have been reclassified from other comprehensive earnings (loss) to net earnings for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 as follows:

	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended

In addition, losses of $1,532 and $4,368 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Net losses of $9 and $6,495 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2017, respectively.

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 September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $311,331, $339,227 and $418,471, respectively.

At September 30, 2018, October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, the fair values of the Company's undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

	September 30,		October 1,		December 31,
	2018		2017		2017
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Unrealized gains	$	2,060		2,606		-

The Company recorded net gains of $5,030 and $8,781 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and net losses of $2,976 and $2,251 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2017, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, substantially offsetting gains and losses from the change in fair value of intercompany loans to which the contracts relate.

Segment Reporting

(11) Segment Reporting

Hasbro is a global play and entertainment company with a broad portfolio of brands and entertainment properties spanning toys, games, licensed products ranging from traditional to high-tech and digital, and film and television entertainment. The Company's segments are (i) U.S. and Canada, (ii) International, (iii) Entertainment and Licensing, and (iv) Global Operations.

The U.S. and Canada segment includes the marketing and selling of action figures, arts and crafts and creative play products, electronic toys and related electronic interactive products, fashion and other dolls, infant products, play sets, preschool toys, plush products, sports action blasters and accessories, vehicles and toy-related specialty products, as well as traditional board games, and trading card and role-playing games primarily within the United States and Canada. Within the International segment, the Company markets and sells both toy and game products in markets outside of the U.S. and Canada, primarily in the European, Asia Pacific, and Latin and South American regions. The Company's Entertainment and Licensing segment includes the Company's consumer products licensing, digital licensing and gaming, and movie and television entertainment operations. The Global Operations segment is responsible for sourcing finished products for the Company's U.S. and Canada and International segments.

Segment performance is measured at the operating profit level. Included in Corporate and Eliminations are certain corporate expenses, including the elimination of intersegment transactions and certain assets benefiting more than one segment. Intersegment sales and transfers are reflected in management reports at amounts approximating cost. Certain shared costs, including global development and marketing expenses and corporate administration, are allocated to segments based upon expenses and foreign exchange rates fixed at the beginning of the year, with adjustments to actual expenses and foreign exchange rates included in Corporate and Eliminations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those referenced in note 1.

Results shown for the quarter and nine months are not necessarily representative of those which may be expected for the full year 2018, nor were those of the comparable 2017 period representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2017. Similarly, such results are not necessarily those which would be achieved were each segment an unaffiliated business enterprise.

Information by segment and a reconciliation to reported amounts for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 are as follows:

(a) The Global Operations segment derives substantially all of its revenues, and thus its operating results, from intersegment activities.

(b) Certain long-term assets, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, which benefit multiple operating segments, are included in Corporate and Eliminations. Allocations of certain expenses related to these assets to the individual operating segments are done at the beginning of the year based on budgeted amounts. Any differences between actual and budgeted amounts are reflected in Corporate and Eliminations because allocations are translated from the U.S. Dollar to local currency at budgeted rates when recorded. Corporate and Eliminations also includes the elimination of inter-company balance sheet amounts.

The following table represents consolidated International segment net revenues by major geographic region for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017.

Subsequent Event [Abstract]
Subsequent Event [TextBlock]	(13) Subsequent Event On October 22, 2018, the Company announced that it will incur restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of 2018. As the global consumer landscape, shopping behaviors and the retail environment continue to evolve, the Company continues to transform and reimagine its business to make sure it has the right talent and capabilities to stay competitive. This includes adding new capabilities based on our understanding of the consumer and how our retailers are going to market, while also changing many of the ways we organize across our Brand Blueprint. As part of this process the Company is taking certain actions, which began on October 17, 2018 and will continue through 2019. The actions primarily include headcount reduction aimed at right-sizing the Company’s cost-structure and giving it the ability to add required new talent in the future. Under the plan, the Company expects to incur pre-tax restructuring charges relating to severance and other employee costs of approximately $50,000 to $60,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018. This cash charge is expected to be paid from October 2018 through December 2019.

Certain long-term assets, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, which benefit multiple operating segments, are included in Corporate and Eliminations. Allocations of certain expenses related to these assets to the individual operating segments are done at the beginning of the year based on budgeted amounts. Any differences b etween actual and budgeted amounts are reflected in Corporate and Eliminations because allocations are translated from the U . S . Dollar to local currenc y at budgeted rates when recorded. Corporate and Eliminations also includes the elimination of inter-comp any balance sheet amounts.

[2]

The Global Operations segment derives substantially all of its revenues, and thus its operating results, from intersegment activities.
