Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Participants and Plan Administrator
Hasbro, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Hasbro, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Accompanying Supplemental Information
The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule H, line 4i- schedule of assets (held at the end year) as of December 31, 2018 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

/s/ KPMG LLP
We have served as the Plan’s auditor since 1986.

HASBRO, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017


(1) Description of Plan

The following brief description of the Hasbro, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan ("the Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

(a)
General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and is available to substantially all domestic employees of Hasbro, Inc. and certain subsidiaries (collectively "the Company", "Plan Administrator" or "Plan Sponsor"). Participation in the Plan is voluntary and to be eligible, employees must have attained age 21 and be in a covered job classification.

Fidelity Management Trust Company (“the Trustee”) serves as Trustee and Recordkeeper of the Plan.

(b)
Contributions

Eligible employees may contribute up to 75% of their eligible pay, limited to an annual maximum of $18,500 in 2018 and $18,000 in 2017. Contributions may be limited to less than the maximum percentage of eligible pay to enable the Company to meet IRS discrimination regulations. The Company makes a matching contribution of 200% of the first 2% of the participants' eligible pay that they contribute per pay period, plus a 50% match of the next 4% of participants' eligible pay that they contribute per pay period up to a maximum matching contribution of 6% of a participant's eligible pay per pay period.

The Company may also make a discretionary annual contribution after the close of each year, which is targeted at 3% of eligible pay.

All eligible employees who have reached age 50 by the end of the calendar year are permitted to make additional pre-tax deferrals over and above the otherwise applicable limits. These additional deferrals are called "catch-up contributions".  Catch-up contributions may be made up to an additional $6,000 for 2018 and 2017.

(c)
Vesting

All participants currently employed by the Company own, or are vested in, 100% of both employee contributions and the Company's matching contributions to the Plan. Participants become 100% vested in the Company's discretionary annual contribution after three years of vesting service. Participants earn one year of vesting service for each calendar year in which the participant has worked at least 1,000 hours.

(d)
Forfeitures

The unvested portion of a terminated participant's account is forfeited and used to reduce future employer contributions. Forfeitures were $152,051 and $192,791 in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(e)
Payment of Benefits




Payments to participants may be paid upon retirement, disability, or termination of employment. The account balance will be paid to a beneficiary upon death of the participant. Participants in the Plan have the option of receiving their benefit payments either in a lump sum or in periodic installments. Participants, except for terminated participants, may also make in-service withdrawals from their Pre-Tax Savings Contribution Account in the event of a demonstrated severe financial hardship as defined by the IRS Safe Harbor rules. Participants who have reached age 59 ½ may make in-service withdrawals from their vested accounts excluding the annual company contribution and the transition contribution sources in the Plan for any reason. Distributions made to individuals who have not attained the age of 59 ½ may be subject to an IRS imposed 10% early distribution penalty.

(f)
Notes Receivable from Participants

The maximum loan available to each participant is the lesser of (1) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance due from the participant during the preceding twelve months, or (2) 50% of the participant's vested account balance, reduced by the current outstanding loan balance due from the participant. The minimum loan amount available to participants is $500. Each loan shall bear a fixed interest rate equal to the prime interest rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the last day of the previous month. Repayment of the loan must be made over a period not to exceed five years, unless it is for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case the loan period cannot exceed ten years.

(2) Summary of Accounting Policies

(a)
Basis of Accounting

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Benefits payable at year end are not accrued for as they are considered to be a component of the net assets available for plan benefits.

(b)
Investments

Investments are stated at fair value with the exception of the Plan’s fully benefit-responsive investment contracts which are stated at contract value. See Note 8 for a discussion of the methods used to determine the fair value of investments held by the Plan.

Security transactions received prior to 4:00 pm Eastern time by the Trustee are recognized on that business day. Transactions received after 4:00 pm Eastern time are valued as of the next business day.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments includes both realized and unrealized gains and losses.

(c)
Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are recorded at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest.

(d)
Contributions




Contributions from employees are recorded by the Plan when deducted from employees' wages. The Company's matching contributions are accrued at the time the employee's contributions are deducted. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, employer and employee contributions for the last pay period of the year were paid to the Plan prior to the Plan's year end. The Company’s discretionary annual contributions for 2018 and 2017 were paid to the Plan subsequent to the end of each Plan year and are recorded as employer contributions receivable on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits at year end.

(e)
Payments of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

(f)
Administrative Expenses

The Plan bears all costs and general expenses incurred with regard to investment consulting, audit, legal and communication fees, other professional fees, independent fund managers and the purchase and sale of investments. Other costs of administration are paid for by the Plan Administrator.

(3) Investment Information

Participants may elect to have their accounts invested in one or more of the investment funds offered by the Plan. Investment options are selected by the Plan’s Investment Committee (which comprises members of management, established by the Board to monitor the Plan’s investment options and evaluate performance). At December 31, 2018, investment funds offered by the Plan included the following nationally traded mutual funds: the Cambiar Small-Cap Institutional Fund, the MFS Institutional International Equity Fund, the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund, and the JP Morgan US Large Cap Core Plus Fund. Investment funds offered by the Plan at December 31, 2018 also included the following commingled funds: BTC ACWI ex-US IMI Index Fund, BTC Russell 2500 Index Fund, BTC Equity Index Fund, JPM SmartRetirement Income, JPM SmartRetirement 2020, JPM SmartRetirement 2025, JPM SmartRetirement 2030, JPM SmartRetirement 2035, JPM SmartRetirement 2040, JPM SmartRetirement 2045, JPM SmartRetirement 2050, JPM SmartRetirement 2055, Eaton Vance Collective Investment Trust High Yield Fund, Loomis Core Plus Fixed Income Fund and Fidelity Growth Company Commingled Pool.

Participants can elect to invest up to 25% of their contributions in the Hasbro Stock Fund which is a unitized stock fund that invests in the stock of Hasbro, Inc. and other short term investments designed to allow participants to buy and sell without the usual trade settlement period for individual stock transactions. Ownership is measured in units of the fund instead of shares of common stock. Participants cannot elect to reallocate their investment funds if that would result in greater than 25% of their account invested in the Hasbro Stock Fund. The fair value of the cash and investments of the Hasbro Stock Fund was $19,188,556 and $23,571,375 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively.

The Plan invests in fully benefit-responsive synthetic guaranteed investment contracts ("synthetic GICs") as part of offering the JP Morgan Stable Asset Fund investment option to participants. Participant contributions to this fund are primarily used to purchase units of commingled funds, which are invested in a high-quality fixed income portfolio. The synthetic GICs are comprised of wrapper contracts and underlying investments.

The JP Morgan Stable Asset Fund enters into wrapper contracts with insurance companies which provide a guarantee with respect to the availability of funds to make distributions from this investment option. These contracts are carried at contract value in the participants' accounts. The issuer of the wrapper contracts is contractually obligated to repay the principal, as well as a specified interest rate that is set on a quarterly basis. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The underlying portfolio is measured at contract value as described in Note 2.




The JP Morgan Stable Asset Fund and the wrapper contracts purchased by that fund are designed to pay all participants at contract value. However, certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value. These events include but are not limited to premature termination of the contracts by the Plan or Plan termination. The Plan Sponsor has not expressed any intention to take either of these actions.

The synthetic guaranteed investment contracts in the JP Morgan Stable Asset Fund as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 are summarized below:

Participant accounts in the JP Morgan Stable Asset Fund are credited with interest at a fixed rate that is based on an agreed-upon formula as defined in the contracts. The rate typically resets quarterly; however, the rate may reset more frequently under certain circumstances. The primary variables which could impact the future crediting rates include (1) the amount and timing of participant contributions, (2) transfers and withdrawals into/out of the contract, (3) the current yield of the assets underlying the contract, (4) the duration of the assets underlying the contract and (5) the existing difference between fair value of the securities and the contract value of the assets within the insurance contract. The crediting rate of security-backed contracts will track current market yields on a trailing basis. The rate reset allows the contract value to converge with the fair value of the underlying portfolio over time, assuming the portfolio continues to earn the current yield for a period of time equal to the current portfolio duration.

(4) Related Party Transactions

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company, an affiliate of the Trustee and Recordkeeper, and, therefore, qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan had 4,774,483 and 4,847,342 units of the Fidelity Growth Company Pool commingled fund valued at $87,086,564 and $92,244,909, respectively, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Plan also had cash and cash equivalents in the Fidelity Short-term Investment Fund of $4,399,571 and $2,987,594, respectively, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Additionally, the Plan holds investments in shares of Hasbro, Inc. common stock, the Plan Sponsor. The Plan had 224,436 and 246,308 shares of Hasbro, Inc. common stock valued at $18,235,425 and $22,386,934, respectively, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. These transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.

(5) Plan Termination




Upon termination of the Plan and trust, each Participant shall be entitled to receive the vested amount standing to the credit of their account as of the final valuation date. The Trustee shall make payments of such amounts as directed by the Plan Administrator.

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to ERISA provisions.

(6) Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for investments in various funds, which invest in equity and debt securities and other investments. Such investments are exposed to risks and uncertainties, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, economic and political risks, regulatory changes, and foreign currency risk. In addition, participants may elect to invest up to 25% of their contributions in the Hasbro Stock Fund. The underlying performance of this fund is dependent upon the performance of the Company and the market's evaluation of such performance. The Plan's exposure to a concentration of credit risk is subject to the Plan's investment funds selected by participants. These risks and uncertainties could impact participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.

(7) Federal Income Taxes

The Internal Revenue Service issued a determination letter on July 19, 2016, stating that the Plan and its underlying trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and therefore believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included in the Plan’s financial statements.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2018, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.  The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2013.

(8) Fair Value Measurements

The Plan measures certain assets at fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 fair values are valuations 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 valuations 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 valuations 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.
