| 1. | Pro Forma Park Revenues reflect: |
| a. | The estimated impact on park revenues resulting from the tornado damage closure and phased reopening of our Georgia Park during the first six weeks of the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2023, as well as for roughly eight weeks during the nine months ended July 2, 2023, assuming Georgia Park revenues in each respective period were flat to the comparable period in fiscal 2022; and | |
| b. | The estimated impact of the strategic switch to a new ticketing platform early in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. We believe this change has improved the overall guest experience, lowering the overall transaction fees incurred by our guests for online ticket purchases, while also improving functionality for our park customer service teams. While this change has a net neutral impact on our profitability, we no longer directly up-charge customer transaction fees, resulting in a reduction in park revenues, with a corresponding decrease in operating expenses. |
