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 September 30, 2022.

Highlights

• $1.221 billion in Q3 2022 revenue
• Given continued strength across the business and good line of sight through the end of the year, increased Adjusted EBITDA guidance for full year 2022 (new range between $1.145 billion to $1.175 billion; up $10 million from the midpoint of prior range, representing year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth of 32%)
• Continued focus on achieving long-term leverage target, having repaid $250 million of debt in the third quarter with the intent to repay an additional $250 million of debt by year’s end
• OpenBet acquisition closed during the quarter

Q3 2022 Consolidated Financial Results

• Revenue: $1.221 billion
• Net loss: $12.5 million; net loss margin of 1%
• Adjusted EBITDA: $303.1 million; Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.8%

“Our business performed well in the quarter despite a turbulent macroeconomic environment,” remarked Ariel Emanuel, CEO, Endeavor. “Given our unique positioning relative to a set of highly resilient secular industry trends across premium sports and entertainment content and live events, we remain confident in our ability to continue delivering on our long-term growth strategy while also being good stewards of capital.”

Segment Operating Results

• Owned Sports Properties segment revenue was $402.3 million for the quarter, up $113.8 million, or 39% compared to the third quarter of 2021. Growth was driven by an increase in media rights fees and live event, partnership, consumer product and licensing revenues at UFC, as well as an additional pay-per-view event and more events with live audiences versus the prior year. PBR and Diamond Baseball Holdings also contributed to growth in the quarter. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $195.7 million for the quarter, up $61.1 million, or 45%, year-over-year.
• Events, Experiences & Rights segment revenue was $440.6 million for the quarter, down $5.7 million, or 1% compared to the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to certain media rights deals for events that do not occur annually, including the Ryder Cup, the UEFA Euro Championship and the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying games, as well as the timing of certain events that took place earlier in 2022 than the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by revenue growth from events including Wimbledon, Frieze Seoul, the Aer Lingus Classic, and various music events, as well as increased enrollment at IMG Academy. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $49.7 million for the quarter, down $35.3 million, or 42%, year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by the timing of events, insurance recoveries recognized in the prior year, as well as increased cost of personnel, including the continued investment in the Olympics business at On Location.
• Representation segment revenue was $388.3 million for the quarter, down $276.4 million, or 42% compared to the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to $334 million of revenue in the prior year from the restricted Endeavor Content business, which was sold in January 2022. The decrease was partially offset by continued strong demand for talent including the recovery of music and comedy touring, as well as increased corporate brand spending at 160over90. Excluding revenue attributable to the restricted Endeavor Content business, revenue increased 17%. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $132.9 million for the quarter, down $8.9 million, or 6%, year-over-year. The prior year’s quarter included $26.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA from the restricted Endeavor Content business.

2022 Annual Guidance

• Revenue is expected to be between $5.235 billion and $5.325 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $1.145 billion and $1.175 billion

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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income.

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, tax receivable agreements liability adjustment and certain other items, including gains/losses on business divestitures, 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, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our tax structure.

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

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Endeavor Group Holdings adjusted to exclude our share (excluding those relating to certain non-controlling interests) of the adjustments used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, other than income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation, on an after-tax basis, the release of tax valuation allowances and other tax items.

Adjusted Net Income adjusts income or loss attributable to the Company for items that are not considered to be reflective of our operating performance. Management believes that such non-GAAP information is useful to investors and analysts as it provides a better understanding of the performance of our operations for the periods presented and, accordingly, facilitates the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income 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.

A reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that are made for equity-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, gains, losses and impairments related to acquisitions and divestitures of businesses, non-cash fair value adjustments of embedded foreign currency derivatives, equity method earnings or losses and fair value adjustments for investments, certain tax items and other adjustments reflected in our reconciliation of historical Adjusted EBITDA, the amounts of which, could be material.
