Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2020 Results

Aug. 14, 2020

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2020--Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) today provided an update on its business operations and reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. On April 17, 2020, Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. ("the Company" or "MSG Entertainment") became a standalone company, following the completion of its spin-off from The Madison Square Garden Company, which was renamed Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ("MSG Sports").

Executive Chairman and CEO James L. Dolan said, "Our core operations performed well over the first eight months of fiscal 2020 and, even after the onset of COVID-19, we completed important initiatives, including the Forum sale and spin-off transaction. However, the ongoing impact of the pandemic has required us to make difficult decisions and take significant action in order to preserve the strength of our balance sheet and ensure we are well-positioned to resume operations when the time is right. Despite the uncertainty for our industry, we remain confident in our business and look forward to when we can bring fans and artists back together in our venues."

Business UpdateOver the first eight months of fiscal 2020, the Company was experiencing positive momentum across its operations. The 2019 season of the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes marked the show's highest grossing run ever. The Company's entertainment and sports bookings business was on track for a record number of events for the fiscal year and Tao Group Hospitality was delivering strong year-over-year growth. In addition, the Company was making significant progress on a number of important initiatives, including the construction of its MSG Sphere venue in Las Vegas and the completion of both the spin-off transaction and the $400 million sale of the Forum in Inglewood, California.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in mid-March, the Company's performance venues and Tao Group Hospitality's entertainment dining and nightlife venues were closed, and, except for certain Tao Group Hospitality venues, remain closed today. The Boston Calling Music Festival, scheduled for Memorial Day weekend, was canceled. And last week, the Company canceled its Christmas Spectacular production for this upcoming holiday season as a result of the ongoing uncertainty.

Following the shutdown of its venues in March, the Company took immediate steps to reduce discretionary spending and made several difficult decisions. Tao Group Hospitality eliminated essentially all its venue line staff and manager positions. The Company also ended financial support of event-level employees at its performance venues at the end of May. The Company has continued to review its operations and last week implemented additional actions, including a workforce reduction and significantly reduced spending across all departments.

The Company's MSG Sphere venue in Las Vegas is also impacted. In April, the Company announced that it was suspending construction of MSG Sphere due to COVID-19 related factors that were outside of its control, including supply chain issues. As the ongoing effects of the pandemic have continued to impact its operations, the Company has revised its processes and construction schedule, and has resumed work with a lengthened timetable that enables the Company to better preserve cash in the near-term. The Company remains committed to bringing MSG Sphere to Las Vegas and, based on its new construction schedule, now expects to open the venue in calendar 2023.

The Company has taken these steps to conserve cash and believes it is well positioned to navigate the temporary shutdown. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments. Debt outstanding consisted of a $33.8 million bank term loan at Tao Group Hospitality. The Company's cash and cash equivalents at fiscal year-end included approximately $200 million in deferred revenue and collections due to promoters, primarily related to tickets, suites and sponsorships - all of which will be addressed, to the extent necessary, through credits, make-goods, refunds and/or rescheduled dates. As of June 30, 2020, the significant majority of deferred ticket revenue was related to events that have been or are expected to be rescheduled into calendar 2021. Ticketholders for rescheduled events have primarily opted to retain their tickets, and the Company is providing ticket refunds as appropriate.

Results from OperationsFor all periods presented through the date of the spin-off, the financial results of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting requirements for the preparation of carve-out financial statements, reflecting the results of the entertainment businesses previously owned and operated by MSG Sports through its MSG Entertainment business segment, as well as the sports bookings business previously owned and operated by MSG Sports through its MSG Sports business segment. These results (through April 17, 2020) do not include the impact of intercompany agreements between the Company and MSG Sports, which were effective as of the date of the spin-off, and may not reflect the level of expenses that would have been incurred by the Company had it been a stand-alone company for the periods presented. Results for the period after the completion of the spin-off (April 18, 2020 through June 30, 2020) reflect the Company on a standalone basis.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Company's fiscal 2020 results, and also led to significant non-cash impairment charges related to Tao Group Hospitality. In addition, fiscal 2020 results include a gain, resulting from the Forum sale and associated settlements, which was recorded during the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter. For fiscal 2020, the Company generated $762.9 million in revenues, a 27% decrease as compared to fiscal 2019. The Company had an operating loss of $59.8 million and an adjusted operating loss of $43.3 million in fiscal 2020, compared to an operating loss of $45.6 million and adjusted operating income of $103.9 million in fiscal 2019.(1)(2)(3)

For the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter, the Company reported revenues of $9.0 million, a decrease of 96% as compared with the prior year quarter. The Company had operating income of $94.4 million and an adjusted operating loss of $103.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $57.2 million and an adjusted operating loss of $21.5 million in the prior year quarter.(2)(3)(4)

1. See page 4 of this earnings release for the definition of adjusted operating income (loss) included in the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. 2. Fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2020 fourth quarter operating loss results include $105.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, in impairment charges related to Tao Group Hospitality. Fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2020 fourth quarter operating results include a $240.8 million gain on the sale of the Forum and associated settlements. 3. Fiscal 2019 operating results include the results for the Forum for the entire period while fiscal 2020 operating results include the Forum's results through May 1, 2020. 4. In the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter, the Company eliminated the three-month lag in Tao Group Hospitality's operating results. 5. Includes inter-segment eliminations and, for operating income (loss), purchase accounting adjustments.

EntertainmentFor the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter, Entertainment segment revenues of $8.6 million decreased 94%, or $145.2 million, as compared with the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting the impact of COVID-19. The temporary closure of the Company's venues led to decreases of $93.8 million in event-related revenues; $21.5 million in venue-related sponsorship and signage revenues; and $16.2 million in suite license fees. In addition, the cancellation of the Boston Calling Music Festival led to an additional revenue decrease of $10.6 million.

Fiscal 2020 fourth quarter direct operating expenses of $34.4 million decreased 72%, or $89.7 million, as compared with the prior year quarter. The absence of events in the quarter led to decreases of $55.0 million in event-related expenses at the Company's venues; $14.9 million in event-related expenses for the Boston Calling Music Festival; $11.9 million in suite license expenses; and $9.4 million in venue-related sponsorship and signage expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in venue operating expenses of $5.8 million, primarily due to the Company's decision to pay certain event-level employees through May 2020.

Fiscal 2020 fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $76.4 million increased 16%, or $10.7 million, as compared with the prior year quarter. This primarily reflects higher employee compensation and related benefits of $14.6 million, including the impact of severance-related costs attributable to separation agreements, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $3.7 million.

Fiscal 2020 fourth quarter operating income of $118.2 million increased by $175.7 million and adjusted operating loss of $90.2 million increased by $61.7 million. The improvement in operating income includes the impact of a $240.8 million gain on the sale of the Forum and associated settlements recorded in the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter. The increased adjusted operating loss primarily reflects the decrease in revenues and, to a lesser extent, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower direct operating expenses.

Tao Group HospitalityFor the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter, Tao Group Hospitality segment revenues of $1.3 million decreased 98%, or $60.5 million, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the temporary closure of its entertainment dining and nightlife venues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fiscal 2020 fourth quarter direct operating expenses of $6.6 million decreased 82%, or $29.7 million, as compared to the prior year quarter. Employee compensation and related benefits decreased $16.0 million, primarily due to the elimination of essentially all of Tao Group Hospitality's venue staff positions in late March. In addition, the cost of food and beverage decreased $10.7 million, a result of the temporary closure of Tao Group Hospitality's venues.

Fiscal 2020 fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $8.6 million decreased 53%, or $9.8 million, as compared to the prior year quarter. This primarily reflects a decrease in marketing costs of $3.4 million, as well as a decrease in employee compensation and related benefits of $1.5 million and other net decreases.

Fiscal 2020 fourth quarter operating income decreased by $26.1 million to a loss of $20.6 million and adjusted operating income decreased by $20.1 million to a loss of $13.0 million, both compared to the prior year quarter. This primarily reflects the decrease in revenues, partially offset by lower direct operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Fiscal 2020 fourth quarter operating loss includes a net impairment charge of $4.8 million.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe define adjusted operating income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before (i) adjustments to remove the impact of non-cash straight-line leasing revenue associated with the arena license agreements with Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., (ii) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, (iii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs, (iv) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (v) restructuring charges or credits, and (vi) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, which is referred to as adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP measure. In addition to excluding the impact of the items discussed above, the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions is also excluded in evaluating the Company's consolidated adjusted operating income (loss). We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of our business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. We believe that given the length of the arena license agreements and resulting magnitude of the difference in leasing revenue recognized and cash revenue received, the exclusion of non-cash leasing revenue provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance. We did not accrue any leasing revenue during fiscal 2020 because the arena license agreements provide that license payments are not due during the government mandated closure of The Garden.

We believe adjusted operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted operating income (loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze our performance. Internally, we use revenues and adjusted operating income (loss) as the most important indicators of our business performance, and evaluate management's effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted operating income (loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Since adjusted operating income (loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss), please see page 6 of this release.
