Hasbro held their 2015 Q1 Earnings Conference Call few hours ago and they have done well thanks to Transformers (from Boys Category) and My Little Pony (from Girls Category).

"Additionally, 2014 had two very significant motion pictures in the summer months, Transformers: Age of Extinction and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Both of these films benefited from shipments in the first half of last year. In 2015 there is a tremendous film slate we are supporting, headlined by The Avengers: Age of Ultron in theatres on May 1st and Star Wars: The Force Awakens on December 18th. These release dates are spread across a greater period of time versus last year’s concentrated timing of summer releases. There are also several other notable films this year, including Jurassic World on June 12th, Ant-Man on July 17th and our own Jem and the Holograms on October 23rd."

"Finally, revenues grew 74% in the Entertainment and Licensing segment. This strong performance was the result of growth in lifestyle licensing revenues for Hasbro Franchise Brands, notably MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS, as well as the contribution of a multiyear digital streaming deal for Hasbro Studios programming."

During the Q&A session, Hasbro CEO thanked the Transformers Franchise and stated that Transformers saw the fastest growth in the last quarter.
