The 2007 results for the quarter include a favorable tax adjustment of $29.6 million or $0.17 per diluted share. Excluding the impact of the favorable tax adjustment, 2007 net earnings for the quarter would have been $132.0 million or $0.78 per diluted share. In addition, the 2006 quarter included an expense of $19.8 million or $0.09 per diluted share related to the Lucas warrants.
"We are very pleased with our third quarter and year-to-date performance and we are well positioned for the all important holiday season," said Alfred J.

"Operating profit was up significantly for the third quarter to $209.7 million, an historical record for the Company and further validation that our strategy of focusing on our core brands is working," Verrecchia concluded. North American segment net revenues for the quarter were $822.7 million, an increase of $77.2 million or 10% compared to $745.5 million in 2006. The growth in revenue is attributable to shipments of the TRANSFORMERS and MARVEL product lines, as well as growth in other Hasbro brands including FURREAL FRIENDS, LITTLEST PET SHOP, BABY ALIVE, MY LITTLE PONY, NERF, MONOPOLY, OPERATION and SCRABBLE. The North American segment reported an operating profit of $134.0 million compared to $111.6 million in 2006.

The revenues include a positive foreign exchange impact of approximately $21.7 million or 8%. The results reflect shipments of the TRANSFORMERS and MARVEL product lines, as well as growth in other Hasbro brands including LITTLEST PET SHOP, MY LITTLE PONY, PLAYSKOOL, MONOPOLY, OPERATION and THE GAME OF LIFE. The International segment reported an operating profit of $57.6 million compared to $43.2 million in 2006. "In light of our strong global cash flow generation and our expectations for the future, we continued to aggressively repurchase shares during the quarter," said David Hargreaves, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "During the quarter, we repurchased a total of 12.9 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $362.1 million, leaving $240.6 million in the current authorization as of quarter end," Hargreaves concluded.

Just listened to the company's webcast. No mention of future increase in shelf space at major retailers. Also no mention of GI Joe product line.
Sales in Transformers, Star Wars and Marvel products seem to level off somewhat but growth still optimistic. Hope that Hasbro steps on the pedal with respect to GI Joe. |
