Endeavor Releases Third Quarter 2021 Results

Beverly Hills, CA (November 15, 2021) – 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 ended September 30, 2021.

Highlights

 

•

Delivered best nine-month, year-to-date period in UFC history

 

•

Representation revenue up significantly in Q3 as productions and touring events resume and brands increase spending

 

•

Announced intent to acquire sports betting content and technology provider OpenBet to integrate with the Company’s IMG ARENA business; transaction expected to close H1 2022

 

•

Increased 2021 revenue guidance from prior $4.8 to $4.85 billion range to between $4.89 and $4.95 billion

 

•

Increased 2021 adjusted EBITDA guidance from prior $765 to $775 million range to between $835 and $845 million

Q3 2021 Consolidated Financial Results

 

•

Revenue: $1.4 billion

 

•

Net income: $63.6 million

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA: $283.3 million

“We continue to capitalize on the elevated demand for premium content and live events coming out of the pandemic,” remarked Ariel Emanuel, CEO, Endeavor. “Given our unique positioning within the sports and entertainment industry and our ability to leverage powerful secular content trends, we see no signs of this momentum waning through the end of the year.”

Q3 2021 Segment Operating Results

 

•

Owned Sports Properties segment revenue was $288.5 million, down $10.6 million compared to Q3 2020, attributable to a $25 million contract termination fee recognized in Q3 2020 that did not recur in 2021, as well as more events being held in Q3 2020 (caused by the shifting of events from Q2 due to COVID-19). This was partially offset by UFC’s continued strong growth across live events, residential and commercial Pay-Per-View, consumer products, licensing, and sponsorship, as well as additional PBR events held in the quarter. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA was $134.7 million.

 

•

Events, Experiences & Rights segment revenue increased $62.1 million, to $446.3 million, compared to Q3 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in event and sports media production revenue related to the return of live events with audiences, as well as the addition of the recently acquired NCSA within our IMG Academy business. This was partially offset by a decrease in media rights revenues, primarily due to the return to a normal schedule of European soccer matches in 2021, which was inflated in the prior year due to matches being pushed to Q3 as a result of COVID-19 – in addition to the expiration of two European soccer contracts in Q2 2021. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA improved $94.6 million, to $85 million, compared to Q3 2020. This was primarily driven by the growth in revenue and a decrease in direct operating costs.

•

Representation segment revenue increased $481.1 million, to $664.7 million, compared to Q3 2020, during which most television and film productions and touring events came to a halt due to COVID-19. Growth in this segment was primarily attributable to a significant increase in Endeavor Content project deliveries, agency client commissions, and marketing and experiential activations. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased $100.1 million, to $141.8 million, compared to Q3 2020.

2021 Annual Guidance

 

•

Revenue is expected to be between $4.89 and $4.95 billion

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $835 and $845 million

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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income.

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, COVID-19 related expenses, 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, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our tax structure.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used as the primary bases to evaluate our consolidated operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Endeavor Operating Company adjusted to exclude our share (excluding those relating to certain non-controlling interests) of the adjustments used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, other than income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation, on an after-tax basis, the release of tax valuation allowances and other tax items.

Adjusted Net Income adjusts income or loss attributable to the Company for items that are not considered to be reflective of our operating performance. Management believes that such non-GAAP information is useful to investors and analysts as it provides a better understanding of the performance of our operations for the periods presented and, accordingly, facilitates the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted Net Income 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.

 

7

 

We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income 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.

A reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that are made for equity-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, gains, losses and impairments related to acquisitions and divestitures of businesses, non-cash fair value adjustments of embedded foreign currency derivatives, equity method earnings or losses and fair value adjustments for investments, certain tax items and other adjustments reflected in our reconciliation of historical Adjusted EBITDA, the amounts of which, could be material.

(1)	Equity-based compensation represents primarily non-cash compensation expense associated with our equity-based compensation plans.

The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to modification of certain pre-IPO equity-based awards primarily to remove certain forfeiture and discretionary call terms as well as grants under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan that were issued in connection with the IPO. Equity-based compensation was recognized in all segments and Corporate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
