Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because the business requires different technology and marketing strategies. The Company's reportable segments are as follows:
•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. Additionally, through license agreements with third parties, we develop and sell products based on popular third-party brands.
•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, we license certain of our 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 and production of Hasbro-branded entertainment content including film, television, children’s programming, digital content and live entertainment focused on Hasbro-owned properties.
Corporate and Other, which does not meet the criteria to be an operating segment, provides management and administrative services to the Company's principal reporting segments described above and consists of unallocated corporate expenses and administrative costs and activities not considered when evaluating segment performance as well as certain assets benefiting more than one segment.
Segment performance is measured at the operating profit level. Intersegment sales and transfers are reflected in management reports at amounts approximating cost. Certain shared costs, including global development and marketing expenses and corporate administration, are allocated to segments based upon expenses and foreign exchange rates fixed at the beginning of the year, with adjustments to actual expenses and foreign exchange rates included in Corporate and Other. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those referenced in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
The chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the Company's Chief Executive Officer, primarily uses the segments' operating profit or loss to allocate resources for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decision about resources to the segments. Results shown for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily those which would be achieved if each segment was an unaffiliated business enterprise.
Information by segment and a reconciliation to reported amounts are as follows for fiscal year 2024:
