downturns in global and regional economic conditions impacting one or more of the markets in which we sell products, which can negatively impact our retail customers and consumers, result in lower employment levels, consumer disposable income, retailer inventories and spending, including lower spending on purchases of our products;
other economic and public health conditions or regulatory changes in the markets in which we and our customers, partners, licensees, suppliers and manufacturers operate, such as inflation, rising interest rates, higher commodity prices, labor costs or transportation costs, or outbreaks of disease, such as the coronavirus, the occurrence of which could create work slowdowns, delays or shortages in production or shipment of products, increases in costs or delays in revenue;



the success of our key partner brands, including the ability to secure, maintain and extend agreements with our key partners or the risk of delays, increased costs or difficulties associated with any of our or our partners’ planned digital applications or media initiatives;

the impact of litigation or arbitration decisions or settlement actions; and
other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

As of JuneMarch 27, 2021,2022, unrecognized revenue attributable to unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future was $512.2were $315.2 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately $363.5$208.1 million in the remainder of 2021, $122.92022, $91.9 million in 2022, and $19.82023, $6.6 million in 2023.2024 and $8.6 million in 2025.

See Note 8 for further discussion of the issuance of the senior unsecured notes and term loan agreement.
The addition of eOne accelerates the Company's brand blueprint strategy by expanding our brand portfolio with eOne's global preschool brands, adding proven TV and film expertise and executive leadership as well as by enhancing brand building capabilities and our storytelling capabilities to strengthen Hasbro brands.

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with established brands, eOne artist relationships, eOne music catalogscustomers by reportable segment: Consumer Products, Entertainment, and trademarksWizards of the Coast and tradenames with estimated useful lives ranging from 7 to 15 years, determined based on whenDigital Gaming. The Company further disaggregates revenues within its Consumer Products segment by major geographic region: North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific; within its Entertainment segment by category: Film & TV, Family Brands, and Other; and within its Wizards of the relatedCoast and Digital Gaming segment by line of business: Tabletop Gaming and Digital and Licensed Gaming. Finally, the Company disaggregates its revenues by brand portfolio into 5 brand categories: Franchise Brands, Partner Brands, Hasbro Gaming, Emerging Brands, and TV/Film/Entertainment. We believe these collectively depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are expected to be realized. The fair value of the intangible assets acquiredwas determined based on the estimated future cash flows to be generated from the acquired assets, considering assumptions related to contract renewal rates and estimated brand franchise revenue growth. eOne acquired intangible asset amortization expenseaffected by economic factors. See note 13 for the quarter and six months ended June 27, 2021 were $21.8 million and $46.7 million, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2020, eOne acquired intangible asset amortization expense was $22.6 million and $47.6 million, respectively.further information.
Deferred tax liabilities within other liabilities were adjusted to record the deferred tax impact of purchase price accounting adjustments, primarily related to intangible assets.
Investments in productions and content, or IIP and IIC, were valued at $564.8 million on the acquisition date, and include the fair value of completed films and television programs which have been produced by eOne or for which eOne has acquired distribution rights, as well as the fair value of films and television programs in production, pre-production and development. For films and television programs, fair values were estimated based on forecasted cash flows, discounted to present value. For titles less than 3 years old and titles in development, the content assets will be amortized using the individual film forecast method, wherein the amortization will phase to the revenues incurred. For titles over 3 years old, the estimated useful life is 10 years, and will be amortized straight-line over that period.
Goodwill of $3.2 billion represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition goodwill represents the value placed on the combined company’s brand building capabilities, our storytelling capabilities and franchise economics in TV, film and other mediums to strengthen Hasbro brands. In addition, the acquisition goodwill depicts added benefits of long-term profitable growth through in-sourcing toy and game production for the acquired preschool brands and cost-synergies, as well as future revenue growth opportunities. The goodwill recorded as part of this acquisition was included within the Entertainment and Consumer Products segments for the year ended December 27, 2020.

At JuneMarch 27, 2021,2022, deferred losses, net of tax of $15.9$15.4 million related to these instruments remained in AOCE. For the quarters ended JuneMarch 27, 20212022 and JuneMarch 28, 2020,2021, previously deferred losses of $0.3$0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were reclassified from AOCErelated to net earnings. For the six-month periods ended June 27, 2021 and June 28, 2020, previously deferred losses of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively,these instruments were reclassified from AOCE to net earnings.
Of the amountnet deferred gains included in AOCE at JuneMarch 27, 2021,2022, the Company expects net lossesgains of approximately $4.6$8.7 million to be reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations within the next 12 months.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent, and certain financial institutions as lenders, pursuant to which such lenders committed to provide, contingent upon the completion of the eOne Acquisition and certain other customary conditions to funding, (1) a three-year senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the “Three-Year Tranche”) and (2) a five-year senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million (the “Five-Year Tranche” and together with the Three-Year Tranche, the “Term Loan Facilities”). Loans underThe full amount of the Term Loan Facilities were drawn down on December 30, 2019, the closing date of the eOne Acquisition. As of March 27, 2022, the Company has fully repaid the Three-Year Tranche $400.0 million principal term loan, and of the Five-Year Tranche $600.0 million principal balance, the Company has repaid a total of $260.0 million in the following increments: $22.5 million in 2020;$180.0 million in 2021; and, $57.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 consisting of $50.0 million of the principal balance and a principal amortization payment of $7.5 million.
Loans under the remaining Five-Year Tranche bear interest at the Company’s option, at either the Eurocurrency Rate or the Base Rate, in each case plus a per annum applicable rate that fluctuates (1) in the case of the Three-Year Tranche, between 87.5 basis points and 175.0 basis points, in the case of loans priced at the Eurocurrency Rate, and between 0.0 basis points and 75.0 basis points, in the case of loans priced at the Base Rate, and (2) in the case of the Five-Year Tranche, between 100.0 basis points and 187.5 basis points, in the case of loans priced at the Eurocurrency Rate, and between 0.0 basis points and 87.5 basis points, in the case of loans priced at the Base Rate, in each case, based upon the non-credit enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company by Fitch Ratings Inc., Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and S&P Global Rankings, subject to certain provisions taking into account potential differences in ratings issued by the relevant rating agencies or a lack of ratings issued by such rating agencies. Loans under the Five-Year Tranche require principal amortization payments that are payable in equal quarterly installments of 5.0% per annum of the original principal amount thereof for each of the first two years after funding, increasing to 10.0% per annum of the original principal amount thereof for each subsequent year. The Term Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants typical of this type of facility, including: (i) restrictions on the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ ability to allow liens on their assets, (ii) restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, (iii) restrictions on the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to engage in certain mergers, (iv) the requirement that the Company maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of no less than 3.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and (v) the requirement that the Company maintain a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of no more than, depending on the gross proceeds of equity securities issued after the effective date of the acquisition of eOne, 5.65:1.00 or 5.40:1.00 for each of the first, second and third fiscal quarters ended after the funding of the Term Loan Facilities, with periodic step downs to 3.50:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023 and thereafter. The notes were drawn down on December 30, 2019, the closing date of the eOne Acquisition. During the first six months of 2021, the Company paid $265.0 million toward the $1.0 billion term loan notes consisting of $250.0 million on the principal balance of the Three-Year Tranche loans in addition to the required quarterly principal amortization payments totaling $15.0 million on the Five-Year Tranche loans. As of JuneMarch 27, 2021,2022, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Term Loan Agreement.
The Company may redeem its 5.10% notes due in 2044 (the "2044 Notes") at its option, at the greater of the principal amount of the notes or the present value of the remaining scheduled payments, discounted using the effective interest rate on applicable U.S. Treasury bills at the time of repurchase.
Current portion of long-term debt at JuneMarch 27, 20212022 of $189.6$155.8 million, as shown on the consolidated balance sheet, represents the current portion of required quarterly principal amortization payments for the 5-Year Tranche of the Term Loan Facilities and production financing facilities. All of the Company’s other long-term borrowings have contractual maturities that occur subsequent to 2023 with the second quarterexception of 2022.certain of the Company's production financing facilities and annual principal payments related to the Term Loan Facilities.
The fair values of the Company's long-term debt are considered Level 3 fair values (see Note 11note 10 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.
Production Financing
In addition to the Company's financial instruments, the Company uses production financing to fund certain of its television and film productions which are typically arranged on an individual production basis by special purpose production subsidiaries.
Production financing facilities are secured by the assets and future revenue of the individual production subsidiaries and are non-recourse to the Company's assets.

Production Financing
In addition to the Company's financial instruments, the Company uses production financing facilities to fund its film and television productions which are typically arranged on an individual production basis by either special purpose production subsidiaries, each secured by future revenues of such production subsidiaries, which are non-recourse to the Company's assets, or through a senior revolving credit facility dedicated to production financing obtained in November 2021. The Company's senior revolving film and television production credit facility (the “RPCF”) with MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender and certain other financial institutions, as lenders thereto (the “Revolving Production Financing Agreement”) provides the Company with commitments having a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. The Revolving Production Financing Agreement also provides the Company with the option to request a commitment increase up to an aggregate additional amount of $150.0 million subject to agreement of the lenders. The Revolving Production Financing Agreement extends through November 22, 2024. The Company uses the RPCF to fund certain of the Company’s original film and TV production costs. Borrowings under the RPCF are non-recourse to the Company's assets. Going forward, the Company expects to utilize the RPCF for the majority of its production financing needs.
Production financing facilities typically have maturities of less than two years, while the titles are in production, and are repaid once delivered and all credits, broadcaster pre-sales and international sales have been received. The production financing facilities as of JuneMarch 27, 2021, June2022, March 28, 20202021 and December 27, 202026, 2021 are as follows:

against future revenues. These amounts are being amortized to program cost amortization using a model that reflects the consumption of the asset as it is released through various channels including broadcast licenses, theatrical release and home entertainment. Amounts capitalized are reviewed periodically on an individual film basis and any portion of the unamortized amount that appears not to be recoverable from future net revenues is expensed as part of program cost amortization during the period the loss becomes evident.

(10)(9) 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.
Our effective tax rate ("ETR") from continuing operations was 43.9%21.6% for the six monthsquarter ended JuneMarch 27, 20212022 and 12.9%9.3% for the six monthsquarter ended JuneMarch 28, 2020.2021.
The following items caused the year-to-datefirst quarter ETR to be significantly different from the prior year ETR:
during the six monthsquarter ended JuneMarch 27, 2022, the Company recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $2.3 million primarily associated with the release of certain valuation allowances during the quarter; and
during the quarter ended March 28, 2021, the Company recorded a net discrete tax expensebenefit of $17.4$8.9 million primarily associated with the revaluation of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the United Kingdom's ("UK") enactment of Finance Act 2021 during the second quarter, which increases the UK corporate income tax rate from 19%decrease to 25% as of April 1, 2023. This is reduced by the release of a valuation allowance on net operating losses that offsets income received from a one-time legal settlement and certain benefits associated with normal business activities, including the reversal ofour liability for uncertain tax positions that resulted from statutes of limitations expiring in certain jurisdictions and operational tax planning; and
The year-to-date ETR also includes a one-time impairment expense on assets held for sale from which there is no corresponding tax benefit;
during the six months ended June 28, 2020, the Company recorded a discrete net tax benefit of $24.0 million, of which $24.1 million is a result of the eOne acquisition and related costs incurred.

expiring in certain jurisdictions. Pre-tax income was benefited from a legal settlement gain, with no associated tax expense, due to the availability of net operating losses and release of the related valuation allowance on the net operating losses utilized by the settlement gain.
In May 2019, a public referendum held in Switzerland approved the Swiss Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing ("TRAF") proposals previously approved by the Swiss Parliament. The Swiss tax reform measures were effective on January 1, 2020. Changes in tax reform include the abolishment of preferential tax regimes for holding companies, domicile companies and mixed companies at the cantonal level. The enacted changes in Swiss federal and cantonal tax, including cantonal transitional provisions adopted in 2021, were not material to the Company’sCompany's financial statements. Swiss cantonal tax was enacted in December 2019. The Company is still assessing the transitional provision options it may elect; however, the legislation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2012. 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 2015.2014. The Company is currently under income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service and in several U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions.
(11)(10) 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. There have been transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy.
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 elected the fair value option for certain available-for-sale investments using net asset value per share and during 2020, the Company liquidated these investments as part of its global cash management strategy. At June 28, 2020, prior to their liquidation, these investments totaled $12.8 million and were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded a net loss of $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, on these investments in other (income) expense, net, related to the change in fair value of such instruments net for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2020.

The Company's derivatives consist of foreign currency forward and option contracts. The Company uses 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 JuneMarch 27, 2021, June2022, March 28, 20202021 and December 27, 2020,26, 2021, 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. Due to the 2021 revaluation of the Discovery investment and resulting impairment charges, the Company reduced the option's fair value by $20.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2021. There were no changes in these valuation techniques during the quarter ended JuneMarch 27, 2021.

(12)(11) 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, television and film production cost and production financing loans (see Note 8)note 7) as well as 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
All of the Company's designated foreign currency forward contracts and zero-cost collar options 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, certain production financing loans and other cross-border transactions, in 2021 through 2022.primarily for the remainder of 2022, 2023, and to a lesser extent, 2024.

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.

Additionally, to manage transactional exposure to fair value movements on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company has implemented a balance sheet hedging program. The Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts as changes in the fair values of these contracts are offset by changes in the fair value of the balance sheet items.

(14)(13) Segment Reporting
Hasbro is a global play and entertainment company with a broad portfolio of brands and entertainment content spanning toys, games, licensed products ranging from traditional to digital, as well as film and film, television and music entertainment. In the first quarter of 2020 the Company completed its acquisition of the global independent studio, eOne. Throughout 2020, the Company successfully integrated many parts of the eOne business and started to achieve synergies as a combined company. Effective for the three months ended March 28, 2021, the Company realigned its reportable segment structure to achieve the following;to: (1) to align with changes to its business structure subsequent to the integration of eOne,eOne; and (2) to reflect changes to its reporting structure and provide transparency into how operating performance is measured. The Company's 3 principal reportable segments are (i) Consumer Products, (ii) Wizards of the Coast &and Digital Gaming, and (iii) Entertainment.
The Consumer Products segment engages in the sourcing, marketing and sales of toy and game products around the world. The Consumer Products business also promotes the Company's brands through the out-licensing of our trademarks, characters and other brand and intellectual property rights to third parties, through the sale of branded consumer products such as toys and apparel. The Wizards of the Coast &and Digital Gaming business engages in the promotion of the Company's brands through the development of trading card, role-playing and digital game experiences based on Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast games. Additionally, the Company out-licenses certain brands to other third-party digital game developers who transform Hasbro brand-based characters and other intellectual properties, into digital gaming experiences. The Entertainment segment engages in the development, acquisition, production, financing, distribution and sale of world-class entertainment content including film, scripted and unscripted television, family programming, digital content music production and sales, and live entertainment.
The significant accounting policies of the Company's segments are the same as those referenced in Notenote 1.
Results shown for the quarter and six months ended JuneMarch 27, 20212022 are not necessarily representative of those which may be expected for the full year 2021,2022, nor were those of the comparable 20202021 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2020.2021. Similarly, such results are not necessarily those which would be achieved were each segment an unaffiliated business enterprise.
Reclassifications of certain prior year segment results and account balances 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.
Information by segment and a reconciliation to reported amounts for the quarters ended March 27, 2022 and six months ended June 27,March 28, 2021 and June 28, 2020 are as follows:

Coronavirus Pandemic
Throughout 2020 and continuing through the first half of 2021, the world has been significantly impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. During this period, we experienced accelerated ecommerce growth and increased interest in offerings from our Wizards of the Coast, Gaming and Entertainment businesses, as consumers have been seeking recreational and entertainment options during the pandemic. In 2020, and continuing into 2021, the pandemic did, however, have a substantial adverse impact on our business, as well as our employees, consumers, customers, partners, licensees, suppliers and manufacturers, due in part to the preventative measures taken to reduce the spread of the virus worldwide.
We experienced and in some cases, continue to experience:
disruptions in supply of products, due to closures or reductions in operations at third-party manufacturing facilities across several geographies including, but not limited to, China, India, the United States and Ireland, as well as difficulties in shipping and distributing products as a result of port capacity shortages, higher rates for ocean freight and higher costs due to air freight increases. These and other disruptions may continue through the remainder of 2021;
adverse sales impact due to changes in consumer purchasing behavior and availability of products to consumers, resulting from retail store closures, limited reopening of retail stores and limitations on the capacity of ecommerce channels to supply additional products;
fluctuations in our performance based on the progress of different countries in controlling the coronavirus and the maturity of e-commerce platforms in those markets.

(Millions of Dollars and Shares Except Per Share Data)
limited production of live-action scripted and unscripted entertainment content due to the shutdown and gradual reopening of production studios;
delays or postponements of entertainment productions and releases of entertainment content both internally and by our partners; and
challenges of working remotely.
In response to these challenges, we developed and continue to develop and execute plans to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 to the business. Our responses included:
utilizing our global supply chain and existing inventory to work to meet demand, while managing freight cost increases across all markets, as our manufacturing facilities returned to varying levels of operation;
accelerating our business online and expanding omni-channel to get products to customers and consumers;
developing innovative ways to enable players to continue to play MAGIC: THE GATHERING and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS games remotely; and
continuing to develop new entertainment, including working on animation productions and post-production work, which were able to be worked on remotely as live TV and film productions have returned gradually, with health and safety protocols in place.
We have maintained sufficient liquidity and access to capital resources. We also continue to closely manage expenses to further preserve liquidity and we continually monitor customer health and collectability of receivables. The COVID-19 outbreak continues to be fluid and it is difficult to forecast the impact it could have on our future operations. Please see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2020 for further information.

During each of the periods presented in this Form 10-Q there were certain charges incurred which impacted operating results. These charges are informeddetailed below in the Results of Operations - Consolidated.
Coronavirus Pandemic
Since the onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in early 2020, our business, has been adversely impacted by our proprietary consumer insights, which help us understand the behavior of our consumers, from a consumption of contentchallenges and play standpoint. We have learned that consumers will travelrisks associated with a brand that they love across multiple forms and formats, including our core historical strength of toys and games and licensed consumer products, as well as digital gaming and story-led entertainment, including short-form content online and long-form content in television and film. Asboth the global consumer landscape, shopping behaviorsinitial, and the retailresidual effects of the spread of the virus worldwide. Certain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including difficulties in shipping and entertainment environmentsdistributing products due to ongoing constraints in port capacity, shipping containers and truck transportation, have continued into the first quarter of 2022 and are expected to continue through the remainder of the year. These and other disruptions have led to higher costs for both ocean and air freight and delays in the availability of products, which can result in delayed sales and, in some cases, lost sales. In response to these and other challenges, we have developed and continue to evolve,evaluate and execute plans to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 to our business. For example, to mitigate product input cost increases, we implemented certain price increases during 2021. The Company continues to review the impact of increasing costs and plans to implement further price increases in 2022. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2022, the Company accelerated certain inventory purchases to ensure sufficient finished goods and raw material availability, ahead of expected periods of high consumer demand. We believe these mitigating actions will minimize the adverse impacts to our financial results for fiscal year 2022.
The COVID-19 outbreak continues to be fluid and it is difficult to forecast the impact it could have on our future operations. However, since the initial outbreak, we have maintained sufficient liquidity and access to capital resources and we continue to adaptclosely monitor customer health and refine our business strategy. This process includes reexaminingcollectability of receivables. Please see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Part I, Item 1.

In addition to these increases2022 were net revenue contributions associated with the launch of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: DARK ALLIANCE, and higher sales from Magic: The Gathering Arena. In addition to the net revenue increases from the Company's Wizards of the Coast business, the segment benefited from growth in certain of the Company's licensed digital games.
Wizards of the Coast & Digital Gaming segment operating profit was $302.9 million, or 47% of segment net revenues for the first six months of 2021, compared to operating profit of $169.9 million, or 43% of segment net revenues for the first six months of 2020. The operating profit increase during the first half of 2021 was the result of increased sales described above, partially offset by higher product development costs, administrative costs and advertising costs, primarily related to support of the Company's digital gaming initiatives.
Entertainment Segment
Entertainment segment net revenues for the six months ended June 27, 2021 decreased 7% to $445.4 million from $476.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 2020 and included the impact of a favorable $13.8 million foreign currency translation. The segment net revenue declines were primarily driven by lower revenues from theatrical film releasesroyalty expense and lower unscripted television production revenues in 2021 as compared to 2020, partially offset by new scripted programming delivered in 2021. During the first six months of 2020, the Entertainment segment benefited from film releases and television programming produced and released prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic whereas the limited production of live-action entertainment content during 2020, due to the shutdown and gradual reopening of production studios, resulted in fewer deliveries and fewer theatrical film releases during the first six months of 2021.
The Entertainment segment operating losses were $96.7 million, or 22% of net revenues, for the six months ended June 27, 2021, compared to $77.8 million, or 16% of segment net revenues, for the six months ended June 28, 2020. The operating loss in the first six months of 2021 includes a non-cash impairment charge of $101.8 million associated with the sale of eOne Music. The operating loss in the first six months of 2020 included $98.5 million of acquisition and integration costs consisting of $47.4 million of expense associated with the acceleration of eOne stock-based compensation, $24.5 million of advisor fees settled at the closing of the acquisition and $20.9 million in impairment charges for certain production assets. Also contributing to the loss is $47.6 million of incremental intangible amortization costs related to the intangible assets acquired in the eOne Acquisition.
Absent these charges in both periods, operating profit for the segment declined due to lower segment net revenues and higher program cost amortization due to certain television programming deliveries that carry higher programming costs. These decreases were partially offset by lower advertising expenses as a result of fewer theatrical releases during the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020.

The Company expects that this concentration will continue, particularly as more of its business has shifted to larger customers with order patterns concentrated in the second half of the year around the holiday season.continue. The concentration of sales in the second half of the year increases the risk of (a) underproduction of popular items, (b) overproduction of less popular items, and (c) failure to achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules.
The Company’s consumer productsbusiness of the Company is characterized by customer order patterns which vary from year to year largely due to fluctuationsbecause of differences in the degree of consumer acceptance of a product lines,line, product availability, marketing strategies, and inventory levels, policies of retailers the dates of theatrical releases of major motion pictures for which we offer products, and changesdifferences in overall economic conditions. A disproportionate volumeLarger retailers generally maintain lower inventories throughout the year and purchase a greater percentage of our net revenues has historically been earnedproduct within or close to the fourth quarter holiday consumer buying season, which includes Christmas.
Quick response inventory management practices being used by retailers as well as growth in ecommerce result in orders increasingly placed for immediate delivery and fewer orders placed well in advance of shipment. Retailers are timing their orders so that they are filled by suppliers closer to the time of purchase by consumers. To the extent that retailers do not sell as much of their year-end inventory purchases during the third and fourth quarters leading up to the retail industry’scurrent holiday selling season as they had anticipated, their demand for additional product earlier in the following fiscal year may be curtailed, thus negatively impacting the Company’s future revenues. However, more recently the Company's inventory levels reflect ongoing global supply chain disruptions, which began in late 2020 as economies slowly recovered from COVID-19 shutdowns, while consumer demand began to outpace the capacity of the global supply chain infrastructure. Supply chain constraints, including Christmas.overcrowding of cargo ports and shipping container and truck transportation shortages, have also led to higher costs for ocean, air and over the road freight and delays in



the availability of products, as inventory remains in transit for extended periods of time. These and other disruptions are expected to continue throughout 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company accelerated certain inventory purchases, to ensure sufficient finished goods and raw material availability ahead of expected periods of high consumer demand. As a result, comparisonsthe Company expects 2022 inventory shipments to peak between May and July as opposed to the historical timeline of unshipped ordersAugust to December.
Unlike the Company's retail sales patterns, revenue patterns from the Company's entertainment businesses fluctuate based on any date with those at the same datetiming and popularity of television, film, streaming and digital content releases. Release dates are determined by factors including the timing of holiday periods, geographical release dates and competition in the prior year are not necessarily indicative of our sales for that year. Moreover, quick response, or just-in-time, inventory management practices result in a significant proportion of orders being placed for immediate delivery. Although the Company may receive orders from customers in advance, it is general industry practice that these orders are subject to amendment or cancellation by customers prior to shipment and, as such, the Company does not believe that these unshipped orders, at any given date, are necessarily indicative of future sales. We expect retailers will continue to follow this strategy.market.

The Company believes that the funds available to it, including cash expected to be generated from operations, and funds available through its commercial paper program or its available lines of credit and production financing, are adequate to meet its working capital needs for the remainder of 2021.2022, including the repayment of the current portion of long-term debt of $155.8 million, as shown on the consolidated balance sheets, which represents the current portion of required quarterly principal amortization payments for our term loan facilities and other short-term production financing facilities, each as described below. The Company may also issue debt or equity securities from time to time, to provide additional sources of liquidity when pursuing opportunities to enhance our long-term competitive position, while maintaining a strong balance sheet. However, unexpected events or circumstances such as material operating losses or increased capital or other expenditures, or the inability to otherwise access the commercial paper market, may reduce or eliminate the availability of external financial resources. In addition, significant disruptions to credit markets may also reduce or eliminate the availability of external financial resources. Although the Company believes the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to its financial facilities is not significant, in times of severe economic downturn in the credit markets, it is possible that one or more sources of external financing may be unable or unwilling to provide funding to the Company.
As of JuneMarch 27, 2021,2022, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,228.2$1,057.9 million, of which $83.1$38.8 million is restricted under the Company’s production financing facilities.
Prior to 2017, deferred income taxes had not been provided on the majority of undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries as such earnings were considered indefinitely reinvested by the Company. Accordingly, such international cash balances were not available to fund cash requirements in the United States unless the Company was to change its reinvestment policy. The Company has maintained sufficient sources of cash in the United States to fund cash requirements without the need to repatriate any funds. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 provided significant changes to the U.S. tax system including the elimination of the ability to defer U.S. income tax on unrepatriated earnings by imposing a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation tax on undistributed foreign earnings. As of JuneMarch 27, 2021,2022, the Company hashad a total liability of $156.1 million related to this tax, $18.4 million is reflected in current liabilities while the remaining long-term payable related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 of $137.7 million is presented within other liabilities, non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.consolidated balance sheets included in Part I of this Form 10-Q. As permitted by the Tax Act, the Company will pay the transition tax in annual interest-free installments through 2025. As a result, in the future, the related earnings in foreign jurisdictions arewill be made available with greater investment flexibility. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States as of JuneMarch 27, 2021 is2022 are denominated in the U.S. dollar.
Because of the seasonality in the Company's cash flow, management believes that on an interim basis, rather than discussing only its cash flows, a better understanding of its liquidity and capital resources can be obtained through a discussion of the various balance sheet categories. Also, as several of the major categories, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories and short-term borrowings, fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, due to the seasonality of its business, management believes that a comparison to the comparable period in the prior year is generally more meaningful than a comparison to the prior year-end.

Sources and Uses of Cash
The Company commits to inventory production, advertising and marketing expenditures in support of its consumer products business, prior to the peak fourth quarter retail selling season. Accounts receivable typically increase during the third and fourth quarter as customers increase their purchases to meet consumer demand expected in the holiday selling season. Due to the concentrated timeframe of this selling period, payments for these accounts receivable are generally not due until the fourth quarter or early in the first quarter of the subsequent year. This timing difference between expenditures and cash collections on accounts receivable sometimes makes it necessary for the Company to borrow amounts during the latter part of the year. In the Company's entertainment business, expenditures of cash for productions are often made well in advance of sale and delivery of the content produced. Trading card and digital gaming revenues have shorter collection periods, but product development expense often occurs years prior to release and revenue generation. During the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, the Company primarily used cash from operations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under available lines of credit, in particular production financing vehicles, to fund its working capital.
The Company has an agreement with a group of banks which provides for a commercial paper program (the "Program"). Under the Program, at the request of the Company and subject to market conditions, the banks may either purchase from the Company, or arrange for the sale by the Company, of unsecured commercial paper notes. The Company may issue notes from time to time up to an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any given time of $1.0 billion. The maturities of the notes may vary but may not exceed 397 days. The notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are issued at a discount to par, or alternatively, sold at par and bear varying interest rates based on a fixed or floating rate basis. The interest rates vary based on market conditions and the ratings assigned to the notes by the credit rating agencies at the time of issuance. Subject to market conditions, the Company intends to utilize the Program as its primary short-term borrowing facility and does not intend to sell unsecured commercial paper notes in excess of the available amount under the revolving credit agreement discussed below. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to access the commercial paper market, the Company intends to use the revolving credit agreement to meet the Company's short-term liquidity needs. At JuneMarch 27, 2021,2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings related to the Program.
The Company has a second amended and restated revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and a letter of credit issuer and lender and certain other financial institutions, as lenders thereto (the "Amended Revolving Credit Agreement"), which provides the Company with commitments having a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement also provides for a potential additional incremental commitment increase of up to $500.0 million subject to agreement of the lenders. The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants setting forth leverage and coverage requirements, and certain other limitations typical of an investment grade facility, including with respect to liens, mergers and incurrence of indebtedness. The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement extends through September 20, 2024. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of JuneMarch 27, 2021.2022. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under its committed revolving credit facility as of JuneMarch 27, 2021.2022.

Amounts available and unused under the committed line, at JuneMarch 27, 20212022 were approximately $1.5 billion, inclusive of borrowings under the Company’s commercial paper program. The Company also has other uncommitted lines from various banks, of which approximately $12.4$10.9 million was utilized at JuneMarch 27, 2021.2022. Of the amount utilized under, or supported by, the uncommitted lines, approximately $0.8$10.2 million and $11.6$0.7 million represent letters of credit and outstanding short-term borrowings, and letters of credit, respectively.
In September of 2019, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") with Bank of America N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent, and certain financial institutions as lenders, pursuant to which such lenders committed to provide, contingent upon the completion of the eOne Acquisitionacquisition and certain other customary conditions to funding, (1) a three-year senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the “Three-Year Tranche”) and (2) a five-year senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million (the “Five-Year Tranche” and together with the Three-Year Tranche, the “Term Loan Facilities”).

The terms of the Notes are described in Note 8note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q.
The Company uses production financing facilities to fund its film and television productions which are typically arranged on an individual production basis by either special purpose production subsidiaries, each secured by the assets and future revenues of such production subsidiaries, which are non-recourse to the Company's assets, or through a senior revolving credit facility dedicated to production financing obtained in November 2021. The Company's senior revolving film and television production credit facility (the “RPCF”) with MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender and certain other financial institutions, as lenders thereto (the “Revolving Production Financing Agreement”) provides the Company with commitments having a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. The Revolving Production Financing Agreement also provides the Company with the option to request a commitment increase up to an aggregate additional amount of $150.0 million subject to agreement of the lenders. The Revolving Production Financing Agreement extends through November 22, 2024. The Company uses the RPCF to fund certain of the Company’s original film and TV production costs. Borrowings under the RPCF are non-recourse to the Company's assets. Going forward, the Company expects to utilize the revolving production financing facility for the majority of its production financing needs. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company had total drawdowns of $112.2 million and repayments of $84.0 million towards these production financing facilities. As of March 27, 2022 the Company had outstanding production financing borrowings related to these facilities of $199.1 million, $95.8 million of which are recorded within the current portion of long-term debt and $103.3 million are recorded within short-term borrowings in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, included in Part I of this Form 10-Q.

The Company has a long history of returning cash to its shareholders through quarterly dividends and share repurchases. In 2021February 2022, Hasbro maintained its quarterly dividend rate of $0.68 per share for the dividends paidwith its first dividend payment of 2022. In addition, in February and May and has declared2022, the Company’s Board of Directors announced a third cash3% increase to the Company’s quarterly dividend ofrate from $0.68 per share scheduledto $0.70 per share, for August 2021.

As part of this initiative, since 2005, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") adopted numerous share repurchase authorizations with a cumulative authorized repurchase amount of $4.3 billion. The most recent authorization was approved in May 2018 for $500 million. Since 2005, Hasbro has repurchased 108.6 million shares at a total cost of $4.0 billion and an average price of $36.44 per share.

As a result of the financing activities related to the eOne, Acquisition, the Company hastemporarily suspended its current share repurchase program while it prioritizesto prioritize deleveraging. There were no repurchases of the Company's common stock in the first quarter of 2022. A share repurchase program continues to be an important long-term component of Hasbro’s capital allocation strategy. In April 2022, given the Company's progress towards reducing debt, the Company announced plans to resume its share repurchase activity during the second quarter of 2022, with a target of repurchasing $75.0 million to $150.0 million of Hasbro common stock in the open market in 2022. The Company has no obligation to repurchase shares under the authorization, and the timing, actual number, and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including the price of the Company’s stock and the Company's generation of, and uses for, cash.



The Company believes that cash from operations, and, if necessary, its committed line of credit and other borrowing facilities, will allow the Company to meet its obligations over the next twelve months.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Company's reported financial results include film and television production costs, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes and business combinations. Additionally, the Company identified the valuation of the Company’s equity method investment in Discovery Family Channel as a significant accounting estimate. These critical accounting policies are the same as those detailed in the 2020Company's 2021 Form 10-K.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed to market risks attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily as the result of sourcing products priced in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars and Euros while marketing and selling those products in more than twenty currencies. Results of operations may be affected primarily by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Russian ruble and Mexican peso and, to a lesser extent, other currencies in Latin American and Asia Pacific countries.
To manage this exposure, the Company has hedged a portion of its forecasted foreign currency transactions for fiscal years 2021 and 2022 using foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk with respect to its net cash and cash equivalents or short-term borrowing positions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company believes, however, that the on-going risk on the net exposure should not be material to its financial condition. In addition, the Company's revenues and costs have been, and will likely continue to be, affected by changes in foreign currency rates. A significant change in foreign exchange rates can materially impact the Company's revenues and earnings due to translation of foreign-denominated revenues and expenses. The Company does not hedge against translation impacts of foreign exchange. From time to time, affiliates of the Company may make or receive intercompany loans in currencies other than their functional currency. The Company manages this exposure at the time the loan is made by using foreign exchange contracts.
