Insights
The financial results of Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (ABH) reflect a 9% growth in total revenue for the year 2023, indicating a positive trend in the company's earnings. The increase in baseball revenue by 9% and mixed-use development revenue by 10% suggests a robust business model that successfully leverages both the sporting franchise and real estate assets. The extension of Alex Anthopoulos as President of Baseball Operations and General Manager through the 2031 season could provide stability and continuity in the team's management, potentially contributing to sustained on-field success and revenue growth.
However, a deeper analysis reveals a concerning decline in Adjusted OIBDA by 35% and operating income by 52% for the year. This is a significant downturn in profitability metrics, which could be attributed to higher operating costs, including a 13% increase in baseball operating costs, driven by higher player salaries and MLB's revenue sharing plan. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, including costs related to the Split-Off from Liberty Media, also played a role in the decline of profitability. These financial pressures may have implications for the company's future investment capacity and debt servicing.
From a market perspective, the sold-out season tickets, including premium seats, for the upcoming season suggest a strong brand loyalty and market demand for the Atlanta Braves. This, coupled with the successful mixed-use development, The Battery Atlanta, which benefits from increased foot traffic and strong sales, indicates a healthy ecosystem around the franchise that extends beyond just the baseball operations. The 10% increase in mixed-use development revenue reflects a successful strategy in creating a year-round destination for fans and visitors, diversifying revenue streams and reducing reliance on baseball-specific income.
Moreover, the reported 24% increase in baseball revenue per home game in the fourth quarter, despite a 7% decrease in overall baseball revenue for the same period, highlights the potential for increased monetization per attendee. This could be a result of strategic pricing, enhanced game-day experiences, or a combination of factors that resonate with the target audience. The emphasis on optimizing the ballpark experience and commercial opportunities in the upcoming year further underscores the importance of fan engagement and experience in driving revenue growth.
The Split-Off of the Braves and its associated mixed-use development into ABH as a separate public company from Liberty Media is a significant corporate restructuring event that may have legal and financial implications. It is essential to understand the corporate governance structure post-Split-Off, as well as any changes in shareholder rights and potential impacts on stock valuation. Additionally, the restructuring could lead to changes in the company's tax obligations, reporting requirements and compliance costs. Investors and stakeholders should closely monitor the transition to evaluate its effectiveness and any potential legal challenges that may arise.
Furthermore, the long-term contract extension of key management personnel, such as Alex Anthopoulos, introduces legal considerations regarding executive compensation, performance incentives and termination clauses. These contractual agreements can have significant financial implications for the company, especially if they include substantial guaranteed salaries or severance packages. Stakeholders should assess the terms of such contracts in the context of the company's financial health and strategic direction.

“The Braves are a unique and valuable sports property with leading on-field and off-field business performance. Congrats to the team on capping off the 2023 season with their sixth consecutive NL East title and unprecedented player accolades,” said Greg Maffei, Chairman and CEO of ABH. “Strong on-field performance yielded robust revenue growth for the full year, and early indicators for the 2024 season show increased demand.”
“We are thrilled with both the team and financial performance at the Braves in 2023,” said Terry McGuirk, Chairman and CEO of Braves Holdings, LLC. “Our management continues to focus on optimizing the ballpark, with upgrades planned for 2024 to drive more commercial opportunities and an improved fan experience. Season tickets, including premium seats, are already sold out in anticipation of another exciting season. The Battery benefitted from increased foot traffic and strong sales across the development and we expect another strong year ahead.”
Corporate Updates
On July 18, 2023, Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media”) completed the split-off of the Braves and its associated mixed-use development (the “Split-Off”) into the separate public company ABH. The businesses and assets at ABH consist of Braves Holdings, LLC, the owner and operator of the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club, and certain assets and liabilities associated with the Braves’ ballpark and mixed-use development, called The Battery Atlanta, which were previously attributed to the Braves Group tracking stock of Liberty Media. For purposes of this presentation, ABH standalone results, assets and liabilities represent the combination of the historical financial information of the Braves Group until the date of the Split-Off. Although ABH was reported as a combined company until the date of the Split-Off, it is now a consolidated company and all periods reported in this presentation are referred to as consolidated.

Baseball revenue is derived from two primary sources on an annual basis: (i) baseball event revenue (ticket sales, concessions, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees) and (ii) broadcasting revenue (national and local broadcast rights). Mixed-use development revenue is derived from the Battery Atlanta mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income.

There were 83 and 3 home games (including postseason) played in the full year and fourth quarter of 2023, respectively, compared to 83 and 4 home games played in the comparable prior year periods.
Baseball revenue increased
Mixed-use development revenue increased
Operating income and Adjusted OIBDA decreased in the full year and fourth quarter. Baseball operating costs increased primarily due to higher player salaries, including offseason trade activity in the fourth quarter, as well as increases under MLB’s revenue sharing plan. These costs also increased for the full year due to higher minor league team and player expenses, variable concession and retail operating costs attributable to increased attendance and spring training related expenses. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the full year primarily driven by costs related to the Split-Off and increased in the fourth quarter primarily driven by higher personnel costs.

This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about business strategies, product and marketing strategies, future financial performance and prospects, expectations regarding the 2024 season and mixed-use development upgrades, and other matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including, without limitation, ABH’s historical financial information not being representative of its future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, ABH’s ability to recognize anticipated benefits from the Split-Off, possible changes in the regulatory and competitive environment in which ABH operates (including an expansion of MLB), the unfavorable outcome of pending or future litigation, operational risks of ABH and its business affiliates, including operations outside of the
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
SCHEDULE 1: Reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to Operating Income (Loss)
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for ABH together with reconciliations to operating income, as determined under GAAP. ABH defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges.
ABH believes Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because Adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, ABH views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that ABH management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA for ABH to operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023.
