Marcus Theatres®

For the first time since the pandemic began, Marcus Theatres reported positive net earnings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 thanks to a strong film slate, improving consumer sentiment and strong operational performance across its circuit. The division also reported positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of fiscal 2021, driven by $28.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Comparing admission revenues to pre-pandemic fiscal 2019 results, Marcus Theatres outperformed the industry by 2.1 percentage points during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and by 5.6 percentage points during the full year fiscal 2021, according to data received from Comscore. Based on this data, the company believes Marcus Theatres continues to be one of the top performing theatre circuits in the United States.

“The fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 marked a milestone for Marcus Theatres as it reported its first profitable quarter since the start of the pandemic. The pace of our recovery and continued industry outperformance are driven in part by the investments we have made in our theatres and outstanding work by our teams, both of which will continue to serve as competitive differentiators,” said Rolando Rodriguez, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Marcus Theatres. “While still below pre-pandemic levels, attendance has continuously improved during the second half of the year, hitting its highest levels since the pandemic in the fourth quarter when a number of high-quality films captured the imaginations of moviegoers. ‘Spider Man: No Way Home’ not only shattered pandemic records during the fourth quarter but also recently became the third highest performing film of all-time. As vaccination and booster rates have grown and the Omicron variant fades, we expect future studio film releases to meet consumers’ increasing excitement for seeing movies regularly on the big screen. In fact, the most recent survey data released by the National Association of Theatre Owners indicates that consumer sentiment towards moviegoing has now nearly matched the pandemic all-time high set in July 2021.”

In addition to “Spider Man: No Way Home,” the top five highest-performing films in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “Eternals,” “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and “No Time to Die.” For the full year fiscal 2021, the top five highest-performing films were “Spider Man: No Way Home,” “Black Widow,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “F9: The Fast Saga.”

Looking ahead, the film slate in 2022 is expected to be very strong. Although the number of new films was limited during the first two months of the year, several films contributed to our early first quarter fiscal 2022 results, including the continued performance of “Spider Man: No Way Home,” along with “Sing 2,” “American Underdog,” “Scream,” “Jackass Forever,” “Death on the Nile,” “Uncharted” and “Dog.” “The Batman” opens tonight and studios are currently planning to release a number of additional exciting new films in 2022 including “Morbius,” “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” “Ambulance,” “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” “Downton Abbey: A New Era,” “DC Super Pets,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Jurassic World: Dominion,” “Lightyear,” “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” “Thor: Love and Thunder,” “Bullet Train,” “Where the Crawdads Sing,” “Black Adam,” “Puss In Boots: The Last Wish,” “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “Halloween Ends,” “The Flash,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Creed III,” “Avatar 2,” “Aquaman 2” and “Mario.”

Marcus® Hotels & Resorts

Marcus Hotels & Resorts returned to profitability during fiscal 2021, with all eight company-owned hotels and resorts contributing to fiscal 2021 fourth quarter and full year results. RevPAR increased at all company-owned properties during the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2021 compared to the same periods in the year prior. Marcus Hotels & Resorts reported positive Adjusted EBITDA of $24.4 million for the full year fiscal 2021.

Comparing RevPAR to pre-pandemic fiscal 2019 results, Marcus Hotels & Resorts continued to significantly outperform the industry by approximately 1.6 percentage points for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and 9.6 percentage points for the full year of fiscal 2021. The division also outperformed its competitive sets during the fourth quarter by 2.7 percentage points and full year by approximately 6.9 percentage points.

“We are encouraged by the pace of our recovery, which accelerated in the second half of 2021,” said Michael Evans, president of Marcus Hotels & Resorts. “Total revenues for fiscal 2021 were approximately 71 percent of pre-pandemic fiscal 2019 results, with pricing holding strong in comparison to 2019. While the first and fourth quarters are seasonally slower due to reduced travel during the winter months, we remain optimistic that business travelers will gradually return in 2022 while drive-to-leisure travelers will continue to push demand at our company-owned properties.”

Group booking pace for fiscal 2022, while still behind pre-pandemic pace, has meaningfully improved from the year prior. While the Omicron variant has contributed to delays in the recovery of business travel and shifted some group reservations to later in 2022, booking activity is again improving as Covid-19 case levels decline.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, Marcus Hotels & Resorts announced that it formed a joint venture with funds managed by Searchlight Capital Partners, a leading global private investment firm, to co-invest in lifestyle hotels, resorts and high-quality full-service properties. Through this joint venture, Marcus Hotels & Resorts and Searchlight Capital Partners announced the acquisition of the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh. Marcus Hotels & Resorts assumed management of the property on December 16, 2021. The 248-room, nine-story hotel is situated in the center of downtown Pittsburgh close to the city’s Cultural District, concert and major sports venues like Heinz Field, PPG Paints Arena and PNC Park, as well as numerous universities, including the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. The award-winning hotel features spacious guestrooms with contemporary design and local touches, along with more than 11,300 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting and event spaces. This is Marcus Hotels & Resorts’ first property in the state of Pennsylvania.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Marcus Corporation’s financial position remains strong with $239.1 million in cash and revolving credit availability at the end of fiscal 2021.

“Our strong liquidity and capital resources, coupled with our majority-owned real estate position, proved to be considerable assets during one of the most significant global crises of our lifetime,” said Douglas Neis, executive vice president and chief financial officer of The Marcus Corporation. “As we move beyond the pandemic, not only do we have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due, but we are well positioned to invest in future growth strategies, as appropriate.”

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the company realized additional proceeds from the sale of non-core real estate assets, ending the fiscal year with over $22 million in asset sale proceeds. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2021, the company received approximately $4.3 million in state government grants and over $22 million of federal income tax refunds.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding and diluted net earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of conversion of the Company’s convertible notes to the extent conversion is dilutive in each period. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes 9.1 million shares from the dilutive effect of the convertible notes, which were excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the other periods presented as the convertible notes were antidilutive. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding does not include the benefit from the capped call transactions the Company entered into in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes, which mitigate the dilutive effect of the convertible notes by approximately 3.4 million shares during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Upon conversion, the convertible notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release as a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation before investment income or loss, interest expense, other expense, gain or loss on disposition of property, equipment and other assets, equity earnings or losses from unconsolidated joint ventures, net earnings or losses attributable to noncontrolling interests, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. A reconciliations of this measure to the equivalent measure under GAAP is set forth in the attached table.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management and the company’s board of directors to assess the company’s financial performance and enterprise value. The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure, as it eliminates certain expenses and gains that are not indicative of the company’s core operating performance and facilitates a comparison of the company’s core operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period. The company also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a basis to determine certain annual cash bonuses and long-term incentive awards, to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare its performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by analysts, investors and other interested parties as a performance measure to evaluate industry competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of the company’s financial performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and it should not be construed as an inference that the company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or free cash flow for management’s discretionary use. In addition, this non-GAAP measure excludes certain non-recurring and other charges and has its limitations as an analytical tool. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the company will incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the items eliminated in the adjustments made to determine Adjusted EBITDA, such as acquisition expenses, preopening expenses, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges and other adjustments. The company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that the company’s future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Definitions and calculations of Adjusted EBITDA differ among companies in our industries, and therefore Adjusted EBITDA disclosed by the company may not be comparable to the measures disclosed by other companies.
