First Quarter 2021 Major Segment and Brand Performance
Beginning with the first quarter of 2021, Hasbro realigned its financial reporting segments and business units, in order to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure. The three principal reportable segments are: Consumer Products, Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming, and Entertainment. Reclassifications of certain prior year segment results have been made to conform to the current-year presentation. None of the segment changes impact the Company's previously reported consolidated net revenue, operating profits, net earnings or net earnings per share.

1Reconciliations are included in the attached schedules under the heading "Reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Profit."
2Hasbro's total gaming category, including all gaming revenue, most notably MAGIC: THE GATHERING and MONOPOLY, which are reported in the Franchise Brands portfolio, totaled $365.3 million for the first quarter 2021, up 7% compared to the respective period in 2020.
Revenues grew in Franchise Brands, including MAGIC: THE GATHERING, PLAY-DOH, NERF, TRANSFORMERS and BABY ALIVE. Partner Brands revenue increased behind gains in Hasbro products for Lucasfilm's Star Wars and The Mandalorian, Marvel's Spider-Man franchise and Marvel Studios content on Disney+, and Disney Princess. Emerging Brands revenue increased with several properties contributing and Hasbro Gaming declined slightly versus the strong growth reported in the first quarter of last year.
•Consumer Products segment revenue and operating profit grew driven by broad-based gains in Hasbro brands and products, including PLAY-DOH, NERF, TRANSFORMERS, Star Wars and Disney Princess. Revenue grew in all geographic regions, led by the U.S. and Europe. Global consumer point of sale increased high-single digits, including double-digit gains in North America. Operating profit grew as higher revenues more than offset increased royalty and advertising expense.
•Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment revenue grew for MAGIC: THE GATHERING and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. The success of the MAGIC: THE GATHERING Kaldheim set release and the release of Time Spiral Remastered contributed to the strong performance. Digital gaming revenue grew for MAGIC:THE GATHERING Arena and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS as well as licensed digital games. Operating profit increased driven by the higher revenues which was partially offset by increased product development as well as higher advertising to support the mobile launch of Magic Arena and the upcoming launch of Dark Alliance.
•Entertainment segment revenue declined due to expected difficult comparisons in the TV and Film business. The theatrical business continues to be impacted by COVID-related theater shutdowns, whereas last year theaters were open for most of the quarter. Scripted TV deliveries are slated to increase later in the current year and we are targeting returning to 2019 levels of revenue for the full-year 2021 in the TV and Film business. Adjusted operating profit declined on the lower revenue, partially offset by reduced advertising and promotional spend due to the lack of theatrical activity this year versus last.
Dividend
The next quarterly cash dividend of $0.68 per common share is payable on May 17, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 3, 2021. During the first quarter, Hasbro paid $93.4 million in cash dividends to shareholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial tables accompanying this press release include non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, specifically Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted earnings per diluted share, which exclude, where applicable, the 2021 impact of purchased intangible amortization and stock compensation expense associated with acquisition-related grants, and for 2020, the impact of the eOne acquisition-related costs and purchased intangible amortization. Also included in the financial tables are the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net earnings attributable to Hasbro, Inc. excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the impact of the charges/gains noted above, as well as non-cash stock compensation. As required by SEC rules, we have provided reconciliations on the attached schedules of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted earnings per diluted share and Adjusted operating profit provides investors with an understanding of the underlying performance of our business absent unusual events. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate measures for evaluating the operating performance of our business because they reflect the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, to invest in the business, strengthen the balance sheet and make strategic acquisitions. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, net earnings or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in our consolidated financial statements and filings with the SEC. As used herein, "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
