**<u>Sphere</u>**

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Sphere segment generated revenues of $175.6 million, an increase of $24.4 million, or 16%, as compared to the prior year quarter.

Event-related revenues increased $26.7 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in the number of corporate events as well as nine additional concert residency shows held at Sphere in Las Vegas as compared to the prior year quarter. This increase was partially offset by the absence of one marquee sporting event held in the prior year quarter.

Other revenues increased $4.8 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the impact of revenues related to bringing the world's second Sphere to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Revenues related to The Sphere Experience decreased $6.7 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower average per-show revenues, partially offset by an increase in the number of overall performances as compared to the prior year quarter. In the current year quarter, The Sphere Experience included 215 performances of *Postcard from Earth* and *V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film* as compared to 208 performances of *Postcard from Earth* in the prior year quarter.

Revenues from sponsorship, signage, Exosphere advertising and suite license fees decreased $0.5 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower Exosphere advertising revenues, partially offset by an increase in sponsorship revenues and suite license fee revenues.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Sphere segment had direct operating expenses of $76.4 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 12%, as compared to the prior year quarter. Event-related expenses increased $6.4 million, primarily due to an increase in the number of concert residency shows and corporate events as compared to the prior year quarter, partially offset by lower average per-show expenses for concerts. Expenses related to Holoplot increased $1.4 million, reflecting the impact of consolidating the business' results following its acquisition by the Company in April 2024. Expenses associated with The Sphere Experience increased $0.6 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in the number of overall performances.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses of $96.4 million decreased $5.7 million, or 6%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower employee compensation and related benefits of $8.7 million and lower professional fees of $1.9 million, partially offset by other cost increases.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, operating loss of $83.4 million improved by $21.1 million, or 20%, and adjusted operating income of $24.9 million increased $30.4 million, both as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting the increase in revenues and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher direct operating expenses.

**<u>MSG Networks</u>**

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the MSG Networks segment generated total revenues of $107.1 million, a decrease of $15.1 million, or 12%, as compared to the prior year quarter.

Distribution revenue decreased $11.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in total subscribers of approximately 13.0%, partially offset by the impact of higher affiliation rates.

Advertising revenue decreased $3.6 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a lower number of live regular season and postseason professional sports telecasts.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, direct operating expenses of $55.0 million decreased $26.7 million, or 33%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower rights fees expense of $25.6 million and lower other programming and production costs of $1.1 million. On June 27, 2025, MSG Networks completed the restructuring of its credit facilities, described below, which included amendments to its media rights agreements for certain professional sports teams. The decrease in rights fees expense primarily reflects reductions in media rights fees as a result of such amendments, including retroactive adjustments for the 2024-25 NBA and NHL seasons recorded during the current year quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses of $16.6 million increased $11.7 million as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher advertising and marketing costs of $6.0 million and higher professional fees of $5.5 million, mainly due to the absence of litigation-related insurance recoveries recognized in the prior year quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, operating income increased by $0.1 million to $33.3 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower direct operating expenses, mostly offset by the decrease in revenues and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjusted operating income increased by $5.4 million to $36.5 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower direct operating expenses, partially offset by the decrease in revenues and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

------

**<u>Other Matters</u>**

On June 27, 2025, MSG Networks completed a restructuring of its credit facilities. The restructuring included, among other things: (i) MSG Networks' $804 million term loan being replaced with a new $210 million term loan facility; and (ii) MSG Networks making a cash payment of $80 million to the lenders upon closing, comprised of $65 million from MSG Networks and a $15 million capital contribution from the Company. The new term loan continues to be non-recourse to Sphere Entertainment Co. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $346.1 million, reflecting the net impact of the restructuring.

In connection with the restructuring, MSG Networks entered into amendments to the local media rights agreements with the New York Knicks ("Knicks") and the New York Rangers ("Rangers"), which included: (i) 28% and 18% reductions in annual rights fees payable to the Knicks and the Rangers, respectively, effective January 1, 2025; (ii) an elimination of annual rights fee escalators; and (iii) a change to the contract expiration dates to the end of the 2028-29 seasons, subject to a right of first refusal in favor of MSG Networks. Concurrent with the amendments to the Knicks' and Rangers' local media rights agreements, MSG Networks also issued penny warrants to Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. exercisable for 19.9% of the equity interests in MSG Networks.

MSG Networks also entered into amendments with certain other professional sports teams that provide for, among other matters, reductions in the annual rights fees payable to such teams.

The terms and conditions of the restructuring and other related transactions are described more fully in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2025.

**About Sphere Entertainment Co.**

------

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

*We define adjusted operating income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before (i) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, (ii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs, (iii) share-based compensation expense, (iv) restructuring charges or credits, (v) merger, debt work-out and acquisition-related costs, including merger-related litigation expenses, net of insurance recoveries, (vi) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, (vii) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, and (viii) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of our business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. We eliminate merger, debt work-out and acquisition-related costs, including merger related litigation expenses, net of insurance recoveries, 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 Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance given that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan are recognized in Operating income (loss) whereas gains and losses related to the remeasurement of the assets under the Company's 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).*

*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 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.*

**Forward-Looking Statements**

*This press release may contain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results, developments or events may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including financial community perceptions of the Company and its business, operations, financial condition and the industries in which it operates and the factors described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained therein. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein.*
