BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EDR) (“Endeavor” or the “Company”), a global sports and entertainment company, today released its financial results for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023.

Highlights

• Transaction to combine UFC and WWE within TKO Group Holdings, Inc. expected to close in mid- to late September 2023

Q2 2023 Consolidated Financial Results

• Revenue: $1.436 billion
• Net income: $666.5 million
• Adjusted EBITDA: $304.9 million

“We delivered solid results this quarter at Endeavor and are closing in on the launch of TKO Group Holdings,” said Ariel Emanuel, CEO, Endeavor. “Our share repurchase plan and dividend payment initiatives will begin in the third quarter, and we remain focused on maintaining prudent capital allocation and delivering long term sustainable growth for the company.”

Segment Operating Results

• Owned Sports Properties segment revenue was $340.1 million for the quarter, up $8.2 million, or 2.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Growth was primarily driven by higher live event revenue from having two more events in the current year with live audiences, higher media rights fees and sponsorships, and an increase in commercial pay-per-view, all at UFC. Revenue was partially offset by $30 million from Diamond Baseball Holdings included in the prior year that was sold in September 2022. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $179.2 million, up $18.0 million, or 11.1%, year-over-year.

• Events, Experiences & Rights segment revenue was $591.1 million for the quarter, up $23.3 million, or 4.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Growth was primarily driven by new media production deals, including with Major League Soccer; a strong Madrid Open tennis tournament; as well as Barrett-Jackson, which was acquired in August 2022; and growth at IMG Academy. Growth was partially offset by On Location’s music business and Endeavor Streaming. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $76.6 million for the quarter, down $16.0 million, or 17.3%, year-over-year.

• Representation segment revenue was $381.1 million for the quarter, up $23.2 million, or 6.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Growth was primarily attributable to the delivery of projects in Endeavor’s nonscripted content production business, as well as increases across our fashion business and new projects and increased spend from 160over90’s corporate clients, partially offset by the impact of the Writers Guild of America strike on WME. Adjusted EBITDA was $107.1 million for the quarter, down $4.1 million, or 3.7%, year-over-year.

• Sports Data & Technology segment revenue was $130.6 million, up $70.2 million, or 116.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Growth was driven by the inclusion of OpenBet, which we acquired in September 2022, as well as growth at IMG ARENA. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $13.7 million for the quarter, down $1.8 million, or 11.7%, year-over-year. The segment was affected by certain costs at IMG ARENA incurred in advance of the sales cycle.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.616 billion compared to $718.7 million at March 31, 2023. Total debt was $5.110 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $5.151 billion at March 31, 2023.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income (loss), excluding income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, merger, acquisition and earn-out costs, certain legal costs, restructuring, severance and impairment charges, certain non-cash fair value adjustments, certain equity earnings, net gains on the sale of businesses, tax receivable agreement liability adjustment, and certain other items, when applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it eliminates the significant level of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from our capital investments and intangible assets recognized in business combinations, and improves comparability by eliminating the significant level of interest expense associated with our debt facilities, as well as income taxes and the tax receivable agreement, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our tax and corporate structure.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used as the primary bases to evaluate our consolidated operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and

• they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.

We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered substitutes for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our financial performance, as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. Although we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because it does not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as indications that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of our most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to these non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis.
