Di seguito le parti che riguardano Magic:
"As expected, the third quarter is our most difficult comparison and was further impacted by increasing price sensitivity for the average consumer," said Chris Cocks, Hasbro chief executive officer. "To achieve our full-year outlook, we are projecting Hasbro’s fourth quarter revenue to be approximately flat versus last year on a constant currency basis with particular strength from our Wizards and Digital Gaming segment. Growth will be driven by what we expect to be one of the biggest fourth quarters for MAGIC: THE GATHERING as we kick off the brand’s 30th anniversary and celebrate Hasbro’s first ever $1 billion brand."
Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment revenues decreased 16%.
- Revenues decreased 13% excluding a negative $8.7 million impact of foreign exchange.
- Operating profit of $102.2 million was down 36% and reflects the lower revenue, higher product costs, incremental royalty expense with new Universes Beyond card set releases, amortization from the acquisition of D&D Beyond and continued higher investment in development. These declines were partially offset by launch-related product development, advertising and depreciation costs associated with Dark Alliance that released in early third quarter 2021.
- For the full-year, on a constant currency basis, we expect high-single digit revenue growth behind a strong MAGIC: THE GATHERING tabletop release schedule for the fourth quarter. Operating profit margin is expected to be at or above 40%, down from 42.5% for full-year 2021, as we continue investing for long term growth in these valuable brands.
