in oral care in recent years. Today there is a huge opportunity in the rapidly growing mobile and on-line
casual gaming market. We believe our game and toy properties have the potential to be killer applications
in the casual gaming market, and we are investigating many potential opportunities in this arena.
Charitable Giving
As a result of our success, we have been able to continue to give back to the community in a meaningful
way. The Hasbro Children’s Fund, which handles our global, national and local grant making, selected
a number of key philanthropic partners, establishing three-year relationships that will allow us to
make an even greater impact helping those who are less fortunate. Our partners include World Vision,
Operation Smile, Give Kids the World, America’s Second Harvest, Teammates 4 Kids, Starlight Starbright,
Angel Flight, Dunn Institute, Boundless Playgrounds, Big Apple Circus, Toys For Tots, Fisher House,
Hasbro Children’s Hospital and Hole in the Wall Gang Camps. With these new relationships established,
we are proud to report that in 2006, the Hasbro Children’s Fund helped nearly six million children
through charitable grants, product donations, and our Team Hasbro employee volunteer program.
Moving Forward
2006 was a very good year for Hasbro and we’re excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in
2007 and beyond. Creating value for our shareholders remains our number one priority. To deliver
on this goal, we will continue to focus on our execution and innovation, while at the same time
exploring new ways to extend and expand the marketplace we serve. We are very proud of what
we have been able to accomplish this past year. We appreciate your support and the hard work
of all of our global employees and look forward to many more years of continued success.
Sincerely,
Alfred J. Verrecchia
