Rhea-AI Summary

Falcon's Beyond Global (Nasdaq: FBYD) reported its Q1 2024 results, showcasing consolidated revenue of $1.5 million. Falcon's Creative Group (FCG), its unconsolidated subsidiary, saw an 87% increase in revenue to $14.9 million. Producciones de Parques, a 50:50 joint venture, reported $7.5 million in revenue, a rise of $1.2 million. The company recognized substantial gains in net income, reaching $114 million compared to a loss of $9.9 million in Q1 2023, driven by a $118.6 million gain from earnout liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA showed improvement, moving from $(8.0) million to $(4.5) million due to reduced SG&A expenses.

Key highlights include a partnership with The Hershey Company for new entertainment attractions and master planning a Dragon Ball theme park in Saudi Arabia. The company also entered an agreement with Tanseisha Co. for themed entertainment experiences and launched Falcon’s Attractions Systems & Technologies to sell rides globally. Falcon’s Beyond remains focused on expanding its IP and leveraging strategic partnerships to drive growth.

Insights

From a financial perspective, Falcon's Beyond has presented a mixed but overall positive outlook in their first quarter 2024 results. Consolidated revenue of $1.5 million offers a rather modest figure compared to their unconsolidated subsidiaries, which highlight more substantial income. Particularly interesting is the deconsolidation of Falcon’s Creative Group (FCG) following a strategic investment by Qiddiya Investment Company (QIC). FCG’s revenue surged to $14.9 million, representing an 87% increase from the same period last year. The net income of $1.8 million for FCG also signals a significant turnaround from the prior year’s $1.2 million net loss.

The company’s joint venture with Melia Hotels, Producciones de Parques, also reflects growth, reporting $7.5 million in revenue, a $1.2 million increase. Falcon's Beyond’s share of income from these ventures was $0.5 million each, showing strong performances in subsidiary and joint venture operations.

Net income for Falcon's Beyond saw a dramatic increase by $123.8 million, primarily due to a gain from a change in fair value of earnout liabilities, making it somewhat extraordinary and non-recurring. This needs to be factored in to avoid overestimating future net income expectations. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA showed a reduction in losses from ($8.0 million) to ($4.5 million), indicating improvements in operational efficiency, partially due to lower administrative expenses post business combination.

For retail investors, while the jump in net income is notable, caution should be taken as it is largely driven by non-operational factors. The steady growth in operational revenues through strategic partnerships and ventures is promising, but continued monitoring of their consolidated revenue and ongoing expenses is essential.

Falcon’s Beyond is capitalizing on the growing global interest in theme parks and location-based entertainment. The collaboration with Qiddiya for the Dragon Ball theme park and Aquarabia in Saudi Arabia aligns well with the surge in entertainment investment in the region. This positioning can help tap into a lucrative and expanding market. Additionally, the licensing agreement with The Hershey Company to create branded attractions points to a strategic move to leverage established consumer brands, which can drive visitor interest and engagement.

The entrance into new market segments like the Japanese anime and manga-themed entertainment through collaboration with Tanseisha Co. broadens their reach and potentially captures diverse audiences. The move to innovate with Falcon’s Attractions Systems & Technologies indicates a focus on cutting-edge immersive experiences, potentially offering a competitive advantage.

The entertainment industry’s transformation, marked by increased spending, provides a fertile ground for Falcon's Beyond's growth strategies. However, the fragmented nature of their revenue through various subsidiaries and joint ventures suggests a complex structure that investors should carefully evaluate.

For retail investors, the company's efforts to diversify its portfolio and enter new markets are positive signals. Nevertheless, keeping an eye on execution risks and the potential volatility in revenue streams from different subsidiaries will be important.

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBYD) (“Falcon’s Beyond”, “Falcon’s” or the “Company”), a visionary leader in innovative and immersive storytelling through Falcon’s Creative Group (“FCG”), Falcon’s Beyond Destinations (“FBD”) and Falcon’s Beyond Brands (“FBB”), today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended March 31, 2024.

Scott Demerau, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Falcon’s Beyond, commented, “We are thrilled to share our earnings results for the first quarter since our Nasdaq listing at the end of last year, and this milestone marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Falcon's Beyond as a public company. Falcon’s Beyond connects the world by bringing stories to life through theme parks, resorts, ride and technology sales, animation, consumer products, gaming and beyond. Our Company is more than just an entertainment pioneer; we are innovators in immersive storytelling, operating at the intersection of content, technology and experiences and, with our innovative approach and industry-leading expertise, we are poised to unlock significant growth opportunities in the ever-evolving and rapidly growing entertainment landscape.”

Demerau continued, “This year, we remain well-positioned to continue expanding our IP and leveraging our critical partnerships, including with Qiddiya, the organization behind entertainment and tourism megaprojects, and Raging Power Limited, a subsidiary of K11, the Hong Kong-based mall developer. As the entertainment industry continues to undergo rapid transformation fueled by unprecedented spending in both legacy U.S. and new markets, we see immense growth potential for our Company. As we embark on this new chapter as a public company, we remain steadfast in our commitment to pushing the boundaries of immersive storytelling and delivering extraordinary moments that inspire and delight audiences worldwide.”

Simon Philips, President of Falcon’s Beyond, stated, "We are delighted to share the exciting developments at Falcon’s in the first quarter of 2024. Early in the quarter, we announced a licensing agreement with The Hershey Company to bring their iconic brands, including Hershey’s, Reese’s, Jolly Rancher, and Twizzlers, to life in new location-based entertainment attractions. Additionally, we were pleased to announce that Falcon’s Creative Group, as part of our ongoing partnership with Qiddiya City near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will serve as the master planner, attraction designer, and creative guardian for the pioneering Dragon Ball theme park. Qiddiya has revealed that the park will feature five state-of-the-art rides as part of a lineup of over 30 attractions set against the stunning Tuwaiq mountains backdrop. Furthermore, within Qiddiya City, Falcon’s Creative Group is overseeing the creative guardianship of Saudi Arabia’s first water theme park, Aquarabia, and supporting the creation of a dedicated Gaming & Esports District."

Philips continued, "This quarter, Falcon’s also entered into a letter of intent with Tanseisha Co., a Tokyo-based designer and creator of commercial and cultural facilities, to explore developing new themed entertainment experiences, including location-based entertainment that brings popular Japanese anime and manga to life. In March, we launched Falcon’s Attractions Systems & Technologies, our latest expansion strategy, highlighting Falcon’s Beyond’s commitment to selling cutting-edge immersive rides and attractions worldwide. This quarter’s achievements underscore the strength of our business model, the creativity of our team and the enduring appeal of our unique entertainment offerings."

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Falcon’s Beyond generated consolidated revenues of $1.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, representing fees for corporate and shared services earned by its FCG division.
  • The Company’s FCG subsidiary was deconsolidated and accounted for as an equity method investment for all periods subsequent to July 27, 2023, when an affiliate of the Qiddiya Investment Company (“QIC”) invested $30 million in FCG as a strategic investment to obtain a 25% equity interest in the form of preferred units of FCG with the Company holding the remaining 75% interest in the form of common units. The deconsolidation was due to certain participation rights held by QIC in conjunction with the strategic investment.
  • FCG recorded revenues of $14.9 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $6.9 million, or 87%, over the corresponding period of 2023 when FCG was fully consolidated by the Company. FCG also recorded operating income of $1.6 million and net income of $1.8 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 compared with an operating loss of $1.2 million and net loss of $1.2 million for the corresponding period of 2023. After the QIC preferred return and amortization, Falcon’s Beyond’s share of income was $0.5 million from FCG for Q1 2024.
  • Falcon’s Beyond’s Producciones de Parques, S.L. (“PDP”) 50:50 joint venture with Melia Hotels International recognized revenues of $7.5 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, a $1.2 million increase over the corresponding period of 2023, primarily due to increases in rate at the Tenerife and Mallorca hotels. Income from operations increased $0.8 million to $1.3 million and net income $0.8 million to $1.0 million. Falcon’s Beyond’s share of income was $0.5 million from PDP for Q1 2024.

  • Falcon’s Beyond consolidated net income increased by $123.8 million to $114.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to ($9.9) million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by a $118.6 million gain from change in fair value of earnout liabilities.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 increased from $(8.0) million to $(4.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to ($8.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by lower selling, general and administrative expenses due to reduction in third-party accounting, audit and legal fees relating to public company readiness as the Company moves forward from its completed business combination transaction in October 2023.

Jo Merrill, Chief Financial Officer of Falcon's Beyond, stated, “We saw robust financial performance in our inaugural earnings report, including an 87% year-over-year increase in revenue in Falcon’s Creative Group, and we are committed to reinvesting in and optimizing our business to foster our continued growth. We are excited to continue delivering exceptional experiences for our guests, customers and partners.”

When used in this Form 8-K, words such as “continue,” “potential,” “will,” “expected,” “plans,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with US GAAP, we disclose information regarding Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), determined in accordance with US GAAP, for the period presented, before interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, transaction expenses related to the business combination, credit loss expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and change in fair value of earnout liabilities. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it eliminates the non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from our capital investments and intangible assets recognized in any business combination and improves comparability by eliminating the interest expense associated with our debt facilities, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our structure.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under US GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included below under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure”.
