That included significant growth in the number of concerts at the Madison Square Garden Arena (\u201cThe Garden\u201d) and the last performances in this year’s record-setting Christmas Spectacular<\/i> run. It also included the continuation of the New York Knicks (\u201cKnicks\u201d) and the New York Rangers (\u201cRangers\u201d) 2025-26 regular seasons at The Garden.<\/p>\n \nFor the fiscal 2026 third quarter, the Company reported revenues of $246.3 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 2%, as compared to the prior year quarter. In addition, the Company reported operating income of $16.1 million, a decrease of $11.2 million, or 41%, and adjusted operating income of $46.0 million, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 20%, both as compared to the prior year quarter.(1)<\/sup><\/p>\n \nExecutive Chairman and CEO James L. Dolan said, \u201cWe continue to bring an array of live events to our venues, and demand for those entertainment offerings remains strong. As we approach the end of the fiscal year, we remain on track to deliver robust growth in revenue and adjusted operating income in fiscal 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n \nResults for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:<\/b><\/p>\n \nEntertainment Offerings, Arena License Fees and Other Leasing \nFiscal 2026 third quarter arena license fees and other leasing revenues of $35.5 million decreased $1.0 million, or 3%, as compared to the prior year quarter, due to fewer Knicks and Rangers games played at The Garden in the current year quarter, partially offset by higher other leasing revenues.<\/p>\n \nFiscal 2026 third quarter direct operating expenses associated with entertainment offerings, arena license fees and other leasing of $118.3 million increased $10.3 million, or 10%, as compared to the prior year quarter.<\/p>\n \nFood, Beverage and Merchandise \nFiscal 2026 third quarter food, beverage and merchandise direct operating expenses of $28.5 million decreased $2.4 million, or 8%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower food and beverage costs related to Knicks and Rangers games at The Garden, partially offset by higher food and beverage costs related to concerts, both as compared to the prior year quarter.<\/p>\n \nSelling, General and Administrative Expenses \nOperating Income and Adjusted Operating Income \nAbout Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. \nNon-GAAP Financial Measures \nWe exclude impairments of long-lived assets, including right-of-use assets and related lease costs, as these expenses do not represent core business operating results of the Company. We believe adjusted operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a consolidated and combined 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\u2019s 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 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.

<\/span><\/b>Fiscal 2026 third quarter revenues from entertainment offerings of $165.7 million increased $5.5 million, or 3%, as compared to the prior year quarter.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
<\/span><\/b>Fiscal 2026 third quarter food, beverage and merchandise revenues of $45.1 million decreased $0.7 million, or 2%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily reflected (i) lower food and beverage sales at Knicks and Rangers games of $2.8 million, primarily due to the impact of a combined five fewer Knicks and Rangers games played at The Garden, partially offset by (ii) higher food and beverage sales at concerts held at the Company’s venues of $2.4 million, primarily due to an increase in the number of concerts at The Garden, partially offset by a decrease in the number of concerts at the Company’s theaters.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b>Fiscal 2026 third quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $61.0 million increased $8.8 million, or 17%, as compared to the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in employee compensation and benefits, (ii) higher rent expense, and (iii) other cost increases.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b>Fiscal 2026 third quarter operating income of $16.1 million decreased $11.2 million, or 41%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, restructuring charges and direct operating expenses, partially offset by the absence of impairment of long-lived assets recognized in the prior year quarter and the increase in revenues. Fiscal 2026 third quarter adjusted operating income of $46.0 million decreased $11.8 million, or 20%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher direct operating expenses and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the increase in revenues.<\/p>\n

<\/b>We define adjusted operating income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and other long-lived assets, including right of use assets and related lease costs, (ii) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (iii) restructuring charges or credits, (iv) merger, spin-off, and acquisition-related costs, including merger-related litigation expenses, (v) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, (vi) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, (vii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs and (viii) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the executive deferred compensation plan. 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 eliminate merger, spin-off, and acquisition-related transaction costs, when applicable, because the Company does not consider such costs to be indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company as they result from an event that is of a non-recurring nature, thereby enhancing comparability. In addition, management believes that the exclusion of gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the executive deferred compensation plan, provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company\u2019s operating performance given that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the executive deferred compensation plan are recognized in operating income (loss) whereas gains and losses related to the remeasurement of the assets under the executive deferred compensation plan, which are equal to and therefore fully offset the gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities, are recognized in other income (expense), net, which is not reflected in operating income (loss).<\/i><\/p>\n
