TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TKO) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The reported results presented in this earnings release cover the period from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 for Ultimate Fighting Championship (“UFC”) and the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023 for World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (“WWE”).

"Since launching TKO on September 12th, our teams at WWE, UFC, and Endeavor have been focused on integration and executing our strategy," said Ariel Emanuel, CEO of TKO. "This includes identifying cost synergies at the high end of the range we guided, bringing events to new international markets including Saudi Arabia and Australia, delivering media rights increases for WWE, and closing the largest global partnership deal ever for UFC with AB InBev. We remain bullish about TKO's ability to accelerate growth and unlock long-term value for shareholders."

Third-Quarter Consolidated Results

Revenue increased 32%, or $108.4 million, to $449.1 million, due to an increase of $56.8 million at UFC and the contribution of $51.6 million of revenue at WWE associated with the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023.

UFC’s revenue was $397.5 million. WWE’s revenue for the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023 was $51.6 million. WWE’s combined revenue for the period from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 was $287.3 million.

Net Income was $22.0 million, a decrease from $129.7 million, primarily reflecting the increase in revenue offset by an increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflected an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $136.7 million, including professional fees and bonuses related to the TKO transaction and charges associated with restructuring activities. To a lesser extent, higher interest expense and depreciation and amortization also contributed to the decrease in net income.

Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 26%, or $49.2 million, to $239.7 million, due to an increase of $33.8 million at UFC and the contribution of $22.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA at WWE associated with the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023 partially offset by an increase of $6.6 million in corporate expenses.

UFC’s Adjusted EBITDA was $238.3 million. WWE’s Adjusted EBITDA for the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023 was $22.0 million. WWE’s combined Adjusted EBITDA for the period from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 was $102.0 million. Corporate Adjusted EBITDA for the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023 was ($20.6) million. Corporate combined Adjusted EBITDA for the period from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 was ($42.1) million.

Cash flows generated by operating activities were $67.0 million, a decrease of $71.3 million from $138.3 million, primarily due to lower net income.

Free Cash Flow2 was $63.6 million, a decrease of $72.5 million from $136.1 million, primarily due to the decrease in cash flows generated by operating activities.

Cash and cash equivalents were $188.6 million as of September 30, 2023. Gross debt was $2.773 billion as of September 30, 2023.

Third-Quarter 2023

Revenue increased 17%, or $56.8 million, to $397.5 million, primarily driven by a $31.2 million increase in media rights and content fees, a $12.7 million increase in live events revenue and a $12.2 million increase in sponsorship revenue. The increase in media rights and content fees was primarily related to higher domestic and international rights fees as well as two additional Fight Night events in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in live events revenue was primarily related to one additional event with a live audience and higher site fees. The increase in sponsorship revenue was primarily related to new sponsors and increases in fees from renewals.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 17%, or $33.8 million, to $238.3 million, as the increase in revenue (as described above) was partially offset by an increase in expenses. The increase in expenses primarily reflected an increase of $18.1 million in direct operating costs. The increase in direct operating costs was primarily due to an increase in athlete costs from different matchups as well as higher production, marketing and venue costs due to two additional Fight Night Events and two additional international events in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA margin remained flat at 60%.

WWE

Third-Quarter 2023

Revenue was $51.6 million for the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023.

Including WWE activity for the period from July 1, 2023 through September 11, 2023, revenue was $287.3 million, as compared to $304.6 million for the period from July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022. The decrease of 6%, or $17.3 million, was primarily due to lower consumer products licensing revenue and lower media rights and content revenue partially offset by an increase in live events revenue. The decline in consumer products licensing revenue was due to the absence of revenue recorded in the prior year period related to certain licensing agreements with minimum guarantees. The decrease in media rights and content fees was primarily related to the timing of the delivery of third-party original programming and flagship weekly programming, which more than offset the contractual escalation of media rights fees for WWE’s flagship weekly programming, Raw and SmackDown, and premium live events.

Adjusted EBITDA was $22.0 million for the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023.

Including WWE activity for the period from July 1, 2023 through September 11, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $102.0 million, as compared to $122.5 million for the period from July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022. The decrease of 17%, or $20.5 million, was primarily due to the decline in revenue (as described above). Expenses were relatively flat as an increase in content creation costs was substantially offset by lower expenses related to the timing of third-party original programming.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 43% for the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023. For the period from July 1 through September 30 in 2023 and 2022, Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 36% from 40%.

TKO Transaction

As previously disclosed, on September 12, 2023, Endeavor Group Holdings Inc. (“Endeavor”) and World Wrestling Entertainment, LLC (“WWE”) closed the transaction to combine the Ultimate Fighting Championship (“UFC”) and WWE to form a new, publicly listed company, TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (“TKO”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s consolidated pre-tax results included $67.5 million and $82.5 million, respectively, of merger and acquisition related costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s consolidated pre-tax results for both periods also included $31.6 million (inclusive of $16.5 million of equity-based compensation expense) of restructuring, severance and impairment costs resulting from the Company’s cost reduction program, which was implemented to realize synergy opportunities and integrate the combined operations of WWE and UFC.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

As previously disclosed, on September 13, 2023, the Company announced the declaration of a special one-time cash dividend of $3.86 per share of Class A common stock, pursuant to the terms of the TKO transaction agreement. The dividend, which totaled approximately $321 million, was paid on September 29, 2023 to Class A common stockholders of record as of September 22, 2023.

  3. An explanation of the basis of presentation can be found in this release on page 7.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company refers to certain financial measures that are not recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow. Please see the definitions below and the reconciliation tables included in this release for additional information and a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, merger and acquisition costs, certain legal costs, restructuring, severance and impairment charges, and certain other items when applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.

TKO 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 its capital investments and intangible assets, and improves comparability by eliminating the significant level of interest expense associated with TKO’s debt facilities, as well as income taxes which may not be comparable with other companies based on TKO’s tax and corporate structure. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used as the primary bases to evaluate TKO’s 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 TKO’s 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 TKO’s 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 TKO’s statements of cash flows.

TKO management compensates 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 TKO’s 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 as indicators of TKO’s financial performance, as measures of discretionary cash available to it to invest in the growth of its business or as measures of cash that will be available to TKO to meet its obligations. Although TKO uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as financial measures to assess the performance of its business, such use is limited because it does not include certain material costs necessary to operate TKO’s business. TKO’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as indications that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by TKO, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of TKO’s most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to these non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis.

The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures. TKO views net cash provided by operating activities as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Although it is not a recognized measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, Free Cash Flow provides useful information regarding the amount of cash TKO’s continuing business generates after capital expenditures and is available for reinvesting in the business, debt service, share repurchases and payment of dividends. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures.

Basis of Presentation

As a result of the timing of the consummation of the business combination on September 12, 2023, TKO’s consolidated financial information presented herein include UFC’s results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and only includes WWE’s results for the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023 following the closing of the transaction.

Information in this release includes results for the WWE operating segment and Corporate on a combined basis to include periods prior to the business combination. Information presented on a combined basis does not reflect any pro forma adjustments or other adjustments for costs related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that have been or may be achieved if the business combination occurred on January 1, 2022.

Effective September 12, 2023, the Company operates its business under two reportable segments, UFC and WWE. The UFC segment consists entirely of the operations of the Company’s UFC business which was the sole reportable segment prior to the acquisition of WWE, while the WWE segment consists entirely of the operations of the WWE business acquired on September 12, 2023. In addition, it reports results for the “Corporate” group, which incurs expenses that are not allocated to the business segments. The Corporate group consists of general and administrative expenses that relate largely to corporate activities, including information technology, facilities, legal, human resources finance, accounting, treasury, investor relations, corporate communications, community relations and compensation to TKO’s management and board of directors, which support both reportable segments. Corporate expenses also include management fees paid by the Company to Endeavor under the Services Agreement. All prior period amounts related to the segment change have been retrospectively reclassified to conform to the new presentation. The profitability measure employed by the Company and assessing operating performance, including that of its segments, is Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income, excluding income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, merger and acquisition costs, certain legal costs, restructuring, severance and impairment charges, and certain other items when applicable. Adjusted EBITDA includes depreciation and amortization expenses directly related to supporting the operations of the Company’s segments, including content production asset amortization, as well as amortization of right-of-use assets related to finance leases of equipment used to produce and broadcast live events.
