Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. Reports Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Results

Mid-September Marked Start of Ramp Up of Live Events at the Company's Performance Venues

Christmas Spectacular Production Returned Last Week for 2021 Holiday Season Run

Tao Group Hospitality Achieves Second Consecutive Quarter of Profitability

NEW YORK--()--Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) ("MSG Entertainment") today reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2021. While the Company completed the acquisition of MSG Networks on July 9, 2021, MSG Networks' results are included on a combined basis with the Company for all periods presented.

The Company is seeing increased operating momentum across its entertainment businesses. Events at the Company’s performance venues began to ramp back up in mid-September, which was followed by a busy October that included concerts and the New York Rangers and New York Knicks, which are scheduled to play a combined 82 regular season home games at the Madison Square Garden Arena ("The Garden") this fiscal year. In addition, MSG Networks has resumed airing full regular season telecast schedules for its five professional teams across both the NBA and NHL. And last week, the Christmas Spectacular production returned to Radio City Music Hall, kicking off the start of its 2021 holiday season run.

Tao Group Hospitality is continuing to operate without capacity restrictions in domestic and key international markets and, in the fiscal first quarter, continued to benefit from strong consumer demand in all of its major markets, led by Las Vegas.

For the fiscal 2022 first quarter, the Company reported revenues of $294.5 million, an increase of $124.0 million as compared with the prior year quarter. In addition, the Company reported an operating loss of $83.3 million and adjusted operating income of $10.3 million for the fiscal 2022 first quarter, as compared to an operating loss of $58.7 million and adjusted operating income of $6.7 million in the prior year quarter.(1)

Executive Chairman and CEO James L. Dolan said, “With the first quarter behind us, we’re starting to see some promising momentum in the marketplace as we begin to ramp up events across our venues and welcome back our Christmas Spectacular production. We’ve been pleased to see strong results at Tao Group Hospitality, as well as renewed engagement by marketing partners. This, along with our continued progress on MSG Sphere, makes us optimistic about where we’re headed in 2022, and we remain confident in our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Entertainment
For the fiscal 2022 first quarter, the Entertainment segment generated revenues of $34.2 million, an increase of $26.7 million as compared with the prior year period. Event-related revenues increased $20.7 million and venue-related sponsorship and signage increased $2.7 million, both primarily due to the return of live events to the Company's performance venues during the current year quarter, as compared to no events in the prior year period as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the current year quarter includes $3.1 million in revenues (including $1.3 million in arena license fees) related to the Company’s Arena License Agreements with Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ("MSG Sports") due to the New York Rangers playing two preseason games at The Garden in the current period as compared to no games in the prior year period.

Fiscal 2022 first quarter direct operating expenses of $36.3 million increased $12.7 million, as compared with the prior year quarter. Event-related expenses increased $9.7 million primarily due to the return of live events to the Company’s performance venues during the current year quarter, as compared to no events in the prior year period as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, venue operating costs increased $2.7 million, largely due to the increased usage of the Company's venues in the current year quarter as compared with the prior year period.

Fiscal 2022 first quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $93.0 million increased $40.3 million, as compared with the prior year quarter. This increase primarily reflects higher employee compensation and related benefits of $18.8 million as compared with the prior year quarter and the inclusion in the current year quarter of $14.0 million in expenses related to the Company’s acquisition of MSG Networks.

Fiscal 2022 first quarter operating loss increased by $4.0 million to a loss of $114.7 million and adjusted operating loss increased by $13.1 million to a loss of $71.4 million, both as compared with the prior year quarter. This primarily reflects the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and, to a lesser extent, the increase in direct operating expenses, partially offset by the increase in revenues. In addition, operating loss results in the prior year quarter included restructuring charges of $19.9 million related to the Company's full-time workforce reduction in August 2020.

MSG Networks
For the fiscal 2022 first quarter, the MSG Networks segment generated total revenues of $141.5 million, a decrease of $15.9 million as compared with the prior year period. Affiliation fee revenue decreased $12.3 million, primarily due to the impact of a decrease in subscribers of approximately 6.5%(3), an increase in net unfavorable affiliate adjustments of $5.2 million primarily related to accruals for potential affiliate fee rebates and, to a lesser extent, the impact of a previously disclosed nonrenewal with a small Connecticut-based distributor as of October 1, 2020, partially offset by the impact of higher affiliation rates.

Advertising revenue decreased $3.6 million, as compared with the prior year period. This decrease primarily reflects the impact in the prior year quarter of live telecasts related to the participation of the New York Rangers and New York Islanders in the 2019-20 NHL return to play, as well as the Islanders’ advancement to the 2019-20 playoffs, as compared with the impact of live telecasts related to the 2021-22 NHL preseason in the current year quarter.

Direct operating expenses of $68.4 million increased $3.4 million, as compared with the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher rights fees expense of $2.5 million and, to a lesser extent, an increase in other programming and production-related costs of $0.8 million. The increase in rights fees expense was primarily due to annual contractual rate increases and the impact of net lower reductions in media rights fees related to the 2020-21 seasons in the current year quarter as compared with reductions related to the 2019-20 seasons in the prior year quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $48.0 million increased $25.4 million, as compared with the prior year quarter. The increase primarily reflects approximately $24.9 million in expenses in the current year quarter related to the acquisition of MSG Networks by MSG Entertainment, including the impact of executive separation agreements.

Operating income of $23.3 million decreased $44.7 million and adjusted operating income of $55.8 million decreased $18.6 million, both as compared with the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expense, the decrease in revenues and, to a lesser extent, the increase in direct operating expenses. The decrease in adjusted operating income was lower than the decrease in operating income primarily due to acquisition-related costs which are excluded in the calculation of adjusted operating income.

(3) The approximately 6.5% year-over-year rate of subscriber decline excludes the impact of the previously disclosed non-renewal with a small Connecticut-based distributor as of October 1, 2020.

Tao Group Hospitality
For the fiscal 2022 first quarter, the Tao Group Hospitality segment generated revenues of $119.5 million as compared with $7.2 million in the prior year period. Tao Group Hospitality acquired Hakkasan Group on April 27, 2021 and, as a result, revenues in the current year quarter reflected $59.4 million from Hakkasan Group. The portfolio of venues operated by Tao Group Hospitality prior to the acquisition of Hakkasan Group (which the Company refers to as the “legacy venues”) generated $60.1 million in revenues in the current year quarter as compared with $7.2 million in the prior year period, which primarily reflects the easing of government mandated capacity restrictions.

Fiscal 2022 first quarter direct operating expenses of $61.1 million increased $51.3 million, as compared with the prior year quarter. The current year quarter included $27.9 million in direct operating expenses from Hakkasan Group. In addition, the cost of food, beverage and venue entertainment at legacy venues increased $10.2 million, while employee compensation and related benefits at legacy venues increased $10.1 million, primarily reflecting a staffing increase following the easing of government mandated capacity restrictions. Rent expense also increased $2.7 million, primarily due to rent concessions in the prior year period resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fiscal 2022 first quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $34.1 million increased $26.5 million as compared with the prior year quarter. This primarily reflects $14.7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses from Hakkasan Group; a $4.2 million increase in employee compensation and related benefits; a $3.9 million increase in professional fees, restaurant expenses and supplies, utilities, general liability insurance, pre-opening expenses and repairs and maintenance; $2.1 million increase in marketing; and other net increases.

Fiscal 2022 first quarter operating income improved by $21.3 million to $10.1 million while adjusted operating income increased by $35.3 million to $26.2 million, both as compared with the prior year quarter. The improvement in operating income and adjusted operating income primarily reflect increased revenues, partially offset by an increase in direct operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, operating income results in the current year quarter include $7.8 million of impairment of long-lived assets due to the decision to cease operations at certain Hakkasan Group venues.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define adjusted operating income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before (i) adjustments to remove the impact of non-cash straight-line leasing revenue associated with the Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports, (ii) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, (iii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs, (iv) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (v) restructuring charges or credits, (vi) merger and acquisition-related costs, and (vii) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, which is referred to as adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP measure. In addition to excluding the impact of the items discussed above, the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions is also excluded in evaluating the Company’s consolidated adjusted operating income (loss). We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of our business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. We believe that given the length of the Arena License Agreements and resulting magnitude of the difference in leasing revenue recognized and cash revenue received, the exclusion of non-cash leasing revenue provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance. We eliminate merger and acquisition-related costs because the Company does not consider such costs to be indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company as they result from an event that is of a non-recurring nature, thereby enhancing comparability.

We believe adjusted operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted operating income (loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze our performance. Internally, we use revenues and adjusted operating income (loss) as the most important indicators of our business performance, and evaluate management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted operating income (loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Since adjusted operating income (loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss), please see page 6 of this release.
