Toy giant Hasbro on Wednesday swung to a first-quarter loss due to costs from its acquisition of Entertainment One, where film and TV revenues collapsed as content production shut down amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Hasbro posted a first-quarter loss of $69.6 million, or 51 cents per-share, compared to a year-earlier profit of $26.7 million, or 21 cents per share.
The first-quarter loss included $127.5 million in after tax acquisition-related expenses and $19.9 million in after tax purchased intangible amortization associated with the eOne acquisition.
