EDR Endeavor Group Holdings Inc

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 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

2023 Highlights

• $5.960 billion in full year 2023 revenue
• Closed acquisition of WWE and launched TKO Group Holdings, Inc.
• Sold IMG Academy at an enterprise value of $1.25 billion
• Implemented capital return program inclusive of share repurchases and ongoing quarterly cash dividend
• Commenced formal review to evaluate strategic alternatives

Full Year 2023 Consolidated Financial Results

• Revenue: $5.960 billion
• Net income: $557.5 million
• Adjusted EBITDA: $1.216 billion

Q4 2023 Consolidated Financial Results

• Revenue: $1.583 billion
• Net loss: $29.3 million
• Adjusted EBITDA: $292.8 million

“2023 was a transformational year for Endeavor as we strengthened our positions in sports and entertainment through many of our industry-leading assets,” said Ariel Emanuel, CEO, Endeavor. “Endeavor’s work with TKO to secure innovative media rights deals and landmark partnership agreements is proving our thesis, and we continue to benefit from demand for premium content and live experiences. We remain focused on maximizing shareholder value through quarterly dividend payments and our evaluation of strategic alternatives.”

Segment Operating Results

• Owned Sports Properties segment revenue was $642.8 million for the quarter, up $341.3 million, or 113%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and was $1.82 billion for the year, up $483.5 million, or 36%, compared to the prior year. For the year, the increase in revenue was primarily attributed to the acquisition of WWE in September 2023, which contributed $383 million, and increases at UFC from higher media rights fees, including one additional PPV event; higher live event revenue, including five more events with live audiences during the year; and an increase from partnerships. The revenue increase was also attributable to greater demand for PBR event tickets and the second season of the PBR Teams series. These increases were partially offset by the sale of Diamond Baseball Holdings in September 2022. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $224.7 million for the quarter, up $82.3 million, or 58%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and was $827.0 million for the year, up $178.9 million, or 28%, compared to the prior year.
• Events, Experiences & Rights segment revenue was $414.5 million for the quarter, down $35.0 million, or 8%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and was $2.17 billion for the year, down $18.9 million, or 1%, compared to the prior year. For the year, segment revenue was primarily impacted by the sale of IMG Academy in June 2023, partially offset by the inclusion of Barrett-Jackson for the full year, as well as increases from growth in ticket sales and partnerships from new and existing events including the Madrid Open and Miami Open tennis tournaments. Media production revenue also increased primarily due to new contracts, including with Major League Soccer, as well as the timing of biennial and quadrennial events that occurred in 2023. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $13.7 million for the quarter, down $17.0 million, or 55%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and was $228.1 million for the year, down $66.7 million, or 23%, compared to the prior year.
• Representation segment revenue was $427.4 million for the quarter, up $18.9 million, or 5%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and was $1.54 billion for the year, up $32.3 million, or 2% compared to the prior year. For the year, the impact on segment revenue by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes was more than offset by growth in WME’s music, sports, and fashion divisions, as well as increases at 160over90, licensing, and nonscripted content production deliveries. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $103.4 million for the quarter, down $20.5 million, or 16.5%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and was $391.1 million for the year, down $78.6 million, or 17%, compared to the prior year.
• Sports Data & Technology segment revenue was $113.6 million for the quarter, up $5.2 million, or 5%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and was $469.8 million for the year, up $209.3 million, or 80%, compared to the prior year. For the year, growth was driven by the inclusion of OpenBet, which we acquired in September 2022, as well as growth in IMG ARENA’s betting data and streaming portfolio. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was $20.5 million for the quarter, down $1.1 million, or 5%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and was $62.7 million, up $14.9 million, or 31%, compared to the prior year.

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 sales 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.
