Hasbro, the world’s second-largest toy maker, on Monday reported a 3 per cent rise in first-quarter revenues but the cost of stock options and foreign currency fluctuations weighed on the bottom line.

The maker of Monopoly, GI Joe action figures and Star Wars toys said its loss widened to $4.9m, or 3 cents a share, from $4.1m, or 2 cents a share, a year ago. The loss included $4.1m, or 2 cents a share, in costs for stock options.
