ITEM 1. BUSINESS -------- (a) General Development of Business ------------------------------- The Company designs, manufactures and markets a diverse line of toy products and related items throughout the world. Included in its offerings are games and puzzles, preschool, boys' action and girls' toys, dolls, plush products and infant products, including infant apparel. The Company also licenses various tradenames, characters and other property rights for use in connection with the sale by others of noncompeting toys and non-toy products.
Except as expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, as used herein, the "Company" means Hasbro, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation organized on January 8, 1926, and its subsidiaries.
During 1996, the Company began to take steps to become more brands driven and globally focused. The new focus is designed to allow the development of brands globally, which will provide greater coordination of key brands from a world-wide perspective, while still recognizing regional differences. It also will allow for the development of a blueprint for the global coordination of production and sourcing requirements.
During 1997 the Company will continue to operate through its three primary units, Games, Toys and International while at the same time determining additional steps necessary to implement this focus and have a new organizational structure in place and operational in 1998.
(b) Description of Business Products -------------------------------- The Company's products are categorized for marketing purposes as follows:
(i) Hasbro Toy Group ---------------- The Hasbro Toy Group develops and markets infant, preschool, activity, boys and girls products in the United States, primarily utilizing the Playskool(R), Tonka(R) and Kenner(R) brands.

Included in its new introductions for 1997 are Baby Did It(TM) and Newborn Baby Check-Up(R) large dolls, several fashion dolls and accessories based on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch(TM) and Crystal's Secrets(TM) playsets.
In boys' toys it offers a wide range of products, many of which are tied to entertainment properties, including Star Wars(R), and Batman(R) action figures and accessories. It also offers such classic properties as G.I. Joe(R), Starting Line-Up(R), The Transformers(R), the Tonka(R) line of trucks and vehicles, including the XRC(R) radio-controlled vehicles, the Nerf(R) line of soft action play equipment and the Larami(R) Super Soaker(TM) line of water products.

(ii) Hasbro Games Group ------------------ The Hasbro Games Group develops and markets games and puzzles under the Milton Bradley(R) and Parker Brothers(R) brands. Milton Bradley maintains a line of board, strategy and word games, skill and action games and travel games with a diversified line of more than 200 games and puzzles for children and adults. Its staple items include Battleship(R), The Game of Life(R), Scrabble(R), Chutes and Ladders(R), Candy Land(R), Trouble(R), Mousetrap(R), Operation(R), Hungry Hungry Hippos(R), Connect Four(R), Twister(R) and Big Ben(R) Puzzles. The Company also provides games and puzzles for the entire family, including such games as Yahtzee(R), Parcheesi(R), Aggravation(R),
Jenga(R) and Scattergories(R) and Puzz 3-D(R), a series of three dimensional jigsaw puzzles. Items added to the Milton Bradley line for 1997 include Chicken Croquet(TM), Planet Hollywood(TM), The Game and a series of 3-D Sculpture Puzzles(TM).
The Parker Brothers brand markets a full line of games for families, children and adults. Its classic line of family board games includes Monopoly(R), Clue(R), Sorry!(R), Risk(R), Boggle(R), Ouija(R) and Trivial Pursuit(R), some of which have been in the Parker Brothers' line for more than 50 years. The Company also markets traditional card games such as Mille Bornes(R), Rook(R) and Rack-O(R), games for adults such as Outburst(R) and Catch Phrase(R), a line of Playskool(R) Games for children, including Kanga- Banga Roo(TM) and Mr. Potato Head Pals(TM), as well as a line of puzzles. New to the Parker Brothers' line in 1997 are the Pooh Musical Hide 'N Seek Game, a Star Wars Limited Collectors Edition of Monopoly(R), a hand-held electronic version of Sorry! and a series of children's and adult puzzles using photographs and illustrations licensed from the National Geographic Society(TM).
(iii) Hasbro Interactive ------------------ During 1995, Parker Brothers developed and marketed a CD-ROM version of Monopoly(R), allowing interactive gameplay on a computer as well as through the Internet. In 1996, this product was transferred to a newly formed subsidiary, Hasbro Interactive, Inc. which also developed and marketed, both within the United States and internationally, additional interactive CD-ROM games during 1996, including Risk, Battleship and, for younger children, Tonka Construction(TM). During 1997, it plans to introduce additional interactive products including Sorry!, Outburst and several existing titles in a format to allow play on the Sony(R) Playstation(TM). Hasbro Interactive also recently announced an agreement in principle with Microsoft Corporation under which many of its game players using Hasbro Interactive CD-ROM products will be able to participate in multi-player games free of charge via the Microsoft(R) Internet Gaming Zone.
(iv) International ------------- The Company conducts its international operations through subsidiaries in more than 25 countries which sell a representative range of the global brands and products marketed in the United States together with some items which are sold only internationally.
Throughout the world, the Company markets products sourced by a Hong Kong subsidiary working primarily through unrelated manufacturers in various Far East countries, and in the Americas it also markets products supplied by the Company's Mexican and U.S. manufacturing operations. Additionally, subsidiaries in Europe market products primarily manufactured by the Company in Ireland and Spain; those in Australia and New Zealand, products manufactured by the Company in New Zealand; and in Canada, certain products which it assembles in Canada from components supplied by the Company's U.S. and Mexican operations. The Company has small investments in joint ventures in India and the Peoples Republic of China which manufacture and sell products both to the Company and unaffiliated customers. The Company also has Hong Kong units which market directly to retailers a line of high quality, low priced toys, games and related products, primarily on a direct import basis.
In addition, certain toy products are licensed to other toy companies to manufacture and sell product in certain international markets where the Company does not otherwise have a presence.
Working Capital Requirements ---------------------------- Production has been financed historically by means of short-term borrowings which reach peak levels during September through November of each year when receivables also generally reach peak levels. The revenue pattern of the Company continues to shift with the second half of the year growing in significance to its overall business and, within that half, the fourth quarter becoming more prominent. The Company expects that this trend will continue. The toy business is also characterized by customer order patterns which vary from year to year largely because of differences each year in the degree of consumer acceptance of a product line, product availability, marketing strategies and inventory levels of retailers and differences in overall economic conditions. As a result, comparisons of unshipped orders on any date with those at the same date in a prior year are not necessarily indicative of sales for that entire given year. Also, quick response inventory management practices now being used results in fewer orders being placed in advance of shipment and more orders, when placed, for immediate delivery. The Company's unshipped orders at March 2, 1997 and March 3, 1996 were approximately $215,000,000 and $170,000,000, respectively. Also, it is a general industry practice that orders are subject to amendment or cancellation by customers prior to shipment. The backlog at any date in a given year can be affected by programs the Company may employ to induce its customers to place orders and accept shipments early in the year. This method is a general industry practice. The programs the Company is employing to promote sales in 1997 are not substantially different from those employed in 1996.
As part of the traditional marketing strategies of the toy industry, many sales made early in the year are not due for payment until the fourth quarter or early in the first quarter of the subsequent year, thus making it necessary for the Company to borrow significant amounts pending these collections. During the year, the Company relies on internally generated funds and short-term borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, to finance its working capital needs. Currently, the Company has available to it unsecured lines of credit, which it believes are adequate, of approximately $1,340,000,000 including a $440,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of banks which is also used as a back-up to commercial paper issued by the Company.
Research and Development ------------------------ The Company's business is based to a substantial extent on the continuing development of new products and the redesigning of existing items for continuing market acceptance. In 1996, 1995 and 1994, approximately $152,487,000, $148,057,000 and $135,406,000, respectively, were incurred on activities relating to the development, design and engineering of new products and their packaging (including items brought to the Company by independent designers) and to the improvement or modification of ongoing products. Much of this work is performed by the Company's staff of designers, artists, model makers and engineers.
In addition to its own staff, the Company deals with a number of independent toy designers for whose designs and ideas the Company competes with other toy manufacturers. Rights to such designs and ideas, when acquired by the Company, are usually exclusive under agreements requiring the Company to pay the designer a royalty on the Company's net sales of the item. These designer royalty agreements in some cases provide for advance royalties and minimum guarantees.
The Company also produces a number of toys under trademarks and copyrights utilizing the names or likenesses of familiar movie, television and comic strip characters, for whose rights the Company competes with other toy manufacturers. Licensing fees are generally paid as a royalty on the Company's net sales of the item. Licenses for the use of characters are generally exclusive for specific products or product lines in specified territories. In many instances, advance royalties and minimum guarantees are required by character license agreements.
Marketing and Sales ------------------- The Company's products are sold nationally and internationally to a broad spectrum of customers including wholesalers, distributors, chain stores, discount stores, mail order houses, catalog stores, department stores and other retailers, large and small. The Company and its subsidiaries employ their own sales forces which account for nearly all of the sales of their products. Remaining sales are generated by independent distributors who sell the Company's products principally in areas of the world where the Company does not otherwise maintain a presence. The Company maintains showrooms in New York and selected other major cities world-wide as well as at most of its subsidiary locations. Although the Company has more than 2,000 customers in the United States and Canada, most of which are wholesalers, distributors or large chain stores, there has been significant consolidation at the retail level over the last several years. In other countries, the Company has in excess of 20,000 customers, many of which are individual retail stores. During 1996, sales to the Company's two largest customers represented 22% and 13% of consolidated net revenues.
The Company advertises many of its toy and game products extensively on television. The Company generally advertises selected items in its product groups in a manner designed to promote the sale of other specific items in those product groups. Each year, the Company introduces its new products at its New York City showrooms at the time of the American International Toy Fair in February. It also introduces some of its products to major customers during the last half of the prior year.
In 1996, the Company spent approximately $418,003,000 in advertising, promotion and marketing programs compared to $417,886,000 in 1995 and $397,094,000 in 1994.
Manufacturing and Importing --------------------------- The Company manufactures its products in facilities within the United States and various other countries (see "Properties"). Most of its products are manufactured from basic raw materials such as plastic and cardboard which are readily available but which may be subject to significant fluctuations in price. The Company's manufacturing process includes injection molding, blow molding, metal stamping, printing, box making, assembly and wood processing.
The Company purchases certain components and accessories used in its toys and some finished items from United States manufacturers as well as from manufacturers in the Far East, which is the largest manufacturing center of toys in the world, and other countries. The 1996 implementation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade reduced or eliminated customs duties on many products imported by the Company. The Company believes that the manufacturing capacity of its facilities and the supply of components, accessories and completed products which it purchases from unaffiliated manufacturers is adequate to meet the foreseeable demand for the products which it markets. The Company's reliance on external sources of manufacturing can be shifted, over a period of time, to alternative sources of supply for products it sells, should such changes be necessary. However, if the Company is prevented from obtaining products from a substantial number of its current Far East suppliers due to political, labor or other factors beyond its control, the Company's operations would be disrupted while alternative sources of product were secured. The imposition of trade sanctions by the United States against a class of products imported by the Company from, or the loss of "most favored nation" trading status by the People's Republic of China could significantly increase the cost of the Company's products imported into the United States from China.
The Company makes its own tools and fixtures but purchases dies and molds principally from independent United States and international sources. Several of the Company's United States production departments operate on a two-shift basis and its molding departments operate on a continuous basis through most of the year.
Competition ----------- The Company's business is highly competitive and it competes with several large and many small United States and international manufacturers. The Company is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of toys, games and infant care products.
Employees --------- The Company employs approximately 13,000 persons worldwide, approximately 6,500 of whom are located in the United States.
Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents ---------------------------------- The Company's products are protected, for the most part and in as many countries as practical, by registered trademarks, copyrights and patents to the extent that such protection is available and meaningful. The loss of such rights concerning any particular product would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, although the loss of such protection for a number of significant items might have such an effect.
Government Regulation --------------------- The Company's toy products sold in the United States are subject to the provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Act (the "CPSA"), The Federal Hazardous Substances Act (the "FHSA") and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The CPSA empowers the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the "CPSC") to take action against hazards presented by consumer products, including the formulation and implementation of regulations and uniform
safety standards. The CPSC has the authority to seek to declare a product "a banned hazardous substance" under the CPSA and to ban it from commerce. The CPSC can file an action to seize and condemn an "imminently hazardous consumer product" under the CPSA and may also order equitable remedies such as recall, replacement, repair or refund for the product. The FHSA provides for the repurchase by the manufacturer of articles which are banned. Similar laws exist in some states and cities within the United States and in Canada, Australia and Europe. The Company maintains laboratories which have testing and other procedures intended to maintain compliance with the CPSA and FHSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that all of the Company's products are or will be hazard free. While the Company neither has had any material product recalls nor knows of any currently, should any such problem arise, it could have an effect on the Company depending on the product and could affect sales of other products.
The Children's Television Act of 1990 and the rules promulgated thereunder by the United States Federal Communications Commission as well as the laws of certain countries place certain limitations on television commercials during children's programming.
The Company maintains programs to comply with various United States federal, state, local and international requirements relating to the environment, plant safety and other matters.
Forward-Looking Information --------------------------- From time to time, Hasbro may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are known by, or self-evident to, the investing public. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause its actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in its forward- looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of Hasbro's business include the following:
1) Hasbro's dependence on its timely development and introduction of new products and the acceptance, by both the customer and consumer, of new and continuing products;
2) The impact of competition on revenue and margins;
3) The impact of differing economic conditions in Hasbro's various international markets as well as the effect of currency fluctuations on reportable income;
4) The continuing trend of increased concentration of Hasbro's revenues in the second half and fourth quarter of the year, together with the increased reliance by retailers on quick response inventory management practices, increases the risk of the Company's underproduction of popular items, overproduction of less popular items and failure to achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules; and
5) Other risks and uncertainties as are or may be detailed from time to time in Hasbro's public announcements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
