**MADISON SQUARE GARDEN SPORTS CORP. REPORTS** 

**FISCAL 2023 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS** 

**NEW YORK, N.Y., February 7, 2023** - Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS) today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2022.

The New York Knicks ("Knicks") and New York Rangers ("Rangers") began their 2022-23 regular seasons in October at the Madison Square Garden Arena ("The Garden"). The Company has continued to experience positive operating momentum across its key revenue categories driven by sustained consumer and corporate demand. For the fiscal 2023 second quarter, average per-game revenues for tickets, suites, sponsorship and food, beverage and merchandise all exceeded results for the prior year period. In addition, local and national media rights fees were higher, primarily due to contractual rate increases.

During the fiscal 2023 second quarter, the Company implemented its plan to return approximately $250 million to shareholders, in light of the Company's strong financial performance in fiscal 2022 and the trading price of its common stock relative to the intrinsic value of its professional sports teams. The return consisted of a special cash dividend of $7.00 per share (approximately $173 million) and a $75 million accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") program, which the Company completed in January 2023.

For the fiscal 2023 second quarter, the Company generated revenues of $353.7 million, an increase of $64.1 million, or 22%, as compared to the prior year period. In addition, the Company reported operating income of $51.5 million, an increase of $15.6 million, or 43%, and adjusted operating income of $76.6 million, an increase of $21.0 million, or 38%, both as compared to the prior year period.<sup>(1)</sup>

Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. Executive Chairman James L. Dolan said, "Our second quarter results reflect ongoing positive momentum across all key areas of our business following last year's robust financial performance. We are confident in the strength of our sports franchises and our ability to generate long-term value for shareholders."

**<u>Summary of Reported Results from Operations</u>**

For the fiscal 2023 second quarter, revenues of $353.7 million increased $64.1 million, or 22%, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher pre/regular season ticket-related revenues, suite license fee revenues, sponsorship and signage revenues, food, beverage and merchandise sales, local media rights fees and league distribution revenues. The Rangers played six more regular season home games at The Garden in the current year period as compared to the prior year period.

Pre/regular season ticket-related revenues increased $29.7 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher average per-game revenue and the Rangers playing additional games at The Garden during the current year period.

Suite license fee revenues increased $12.5 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the Rangers playing additional games at The Garden during the current year period and increased sales of suite products.

Sponsorship and signage revenues increased $10.0 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the Rangers playing additional games at The Garden during the current year period, higher net sales of existing sponsorship and signage inventory, and sales of new sponsorship and signage inventory.

Pre/regular season food, beverage and merchandise sales increased $4.0 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher average per-game revenue and the Rangers playing additional games at The Garden. Local media rights fees increased $3.9 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to contractual rate increases. In addition, league distributions increased $3.2 million as compared to the prior year period due to increased NBA and NHL national media rights fees and other league distributions in the current year period.

Direct operating expenses of $225.7 million increased $32.9 million, or 17%, as compared with the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in team personnel compensation of $19.1 million, as well as an increase in other team operating expenses of $7.4 million, both as compared to the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $75.6 million increased $16.0 million, or 27%, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher employee compensation and related benefits, reflecting executive management transition costs recorded in the current year period, as well as higher marketing costs.

Operating income of $51.5 million increased $15.6 million, or 43%, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in revenues, partially offset by higher direct operating expenses and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses (including share-based compensation). Adjusted operating income of $76.6 million increased by $21.0 million, or 38%, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in revenues, partially offset by higher direct operating expenses and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation).

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

On October 6, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $75.0 million ASR program under the Company's existing share repurchase authorization. On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into an ASR agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank ("JP Morgan"). Pursuant to the ASR agreement, the Company made a payment of $75.0 million to JP Morgan and JP Morgan delivered 388,777 initial shares of Class A Common Stock to the Company on November 1, 2022, representing 80% of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR (determined based on the closing price of the Company's Class A Common Stock of $154.33 on October 28, 2022). The ASR was completed on January 31, 2023 with JP Morgan delivering 67,681 additional shares of Class A Common Stock to the Company upon final settlement. The average purchase price per share for shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by the Company pursuant to the ASR was $164.31.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

*We define adjusted operating income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) excluding (i) deferred rent expense under the arena license agreements with Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. ("MSG Entertainment"), (ii) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, (iii) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (iv) restructuring charges or credits, (v) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses, (vi) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, and (vii) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (which was established in November 2021). Because it is based upon operating income (loss), adjusted operating income (loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. We believe that given the length of the arena license agreements and resulting magnitude of the difference in deferred rent expense and the cash rent payments, the exclusion of deferred rent expense provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance. We believe that this adjustment is beneficial for other incremental reasons as well. This adjustment provides senior management, investors and analysts with important information regarding a long-term related party agreement with MSG Entertainment. In addition, this adjustment is a component of the performance measures used to evaluate, and compensate, senior management of the Company. 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. In addition, we believe 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 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 Miscellaneous 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 Company. 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 5 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 and events may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including financial community and rating agency perceptions of the Company and its business, operations, financial condition and the industry 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.*
