CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE 13 AND 26 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 27, 2024

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. General

Basis of Presentation - The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2024 and June 29, 2023 have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited interim financial information at June 27, 2024, and for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations during the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or other interim periods. However, the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2023.

Accounting Policies - Refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (including footnotes) for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, for a description of the Company’s accounting policies.

Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or any related lease terms. Depreciation expense totaled $16,701 and $32,715 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2024, respectively, and $15,986 and $31,854 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 29, 2023, respectively.

Assets Held for Sale – Long-lived assets that are expected to be sold within the next 12 months and meet the other relevant held-for-sale criteria are classified as assets held for sale and included within current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less costs to sell the asset.

Long-Lived Assets – The Company periodically considers whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets held for use are present. This includes quantitative and qualitative factors, including evaluating the historical actual operating performance of the long-lived assets and assessing the potential impact of recent events and transactions impacting the long-lived assets. If such indicators are present, the Company determines if the long-lived assets are recoverable by assessing whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If the long-lived assets are not recoverable, the Company recognizes any impairment losses based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value.

During the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2024, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at one asset group for a leased theatre location that we made the decision to close during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. As such, the Company evaluated the fair value of these assets, consisting primarily of land improvements, leasehold improvements, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets less lease obligations, and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (using estimated discounted cash flows over the life of the primary asset), was less than their carrying values and recorded a $472 impairment loss, reducing certain property and equipment and certain operating lease net obligations. The remaining net book value of the impaired assets as of the date of the asset write-down (June 27, 2024) was $0. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2023.

Goodwill – The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise. The Company performs its annual impairment test on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2024 or June 29, 2023.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Net earnings (loss) per share (EPS) of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is computed using the two class method. Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and convertible debt instruments using the if-converted method. Convertible Class B Common Stock and convertible debt instruments are reflected on an if-converted basis when dilutive to Common Stock. The computation of the diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Common Stock assumes the conversion

of Class B Common Stock in periods that have net earnings since it would be dilutive to Common Stock earnings per share, while the diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Class B Common Stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to cash dividends per share equal to 110% of all dividends declared and paid on each share of Class B Common Stock. As such, the undistributed earnings (losses) for each period are allocated based on the proportionate share of entitled cash dividends.

The following table illustrates the computation of Common Stock basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share, provides a reconciliation of the number of weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding, when applicable, and provides the weighted-average number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding:

Convertible senior notes	6,719		—		8,009		9,201
Total	10,058		2,506		11,136		12,215

For the periods when the Company reports a net loss, common stock equivalents, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and shares related to the convertible senior notes are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Performance stock units are considered anti-dilutive if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares are contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Shares related to the convertible senior notes are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods when the effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.

Fair Value Measurements - Certain financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Some are measured on a recurring basis while others are measured on a non-recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. A fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in

the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in one of the following categories:

Level 1 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date. At June 27, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $6,835 and $5,364 respectively, of debt and equity securities classified as trading were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in other current assets. At June 27, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $18,000 and $37,018, respectively, of investments in money market funds were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in cash and cash equivalents.

Level 2 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on pricing inputs that were either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. At each of June 27, 2024 and December 28, 2023, none of the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities were measured using Level 2 pricing inputs.

Level 3 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which result in the use of management estimates. At each of June 27, 2024 and December 28, 2023, none of the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair market value were valued using Level 3 pricing inputs. Assets that are measured on a non-recurring basis are discussed above under Long-Lived Assets.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable) approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s $70,000 of senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $66,573 at June 27, 2024, determined based upon discounted cash flows using current market interest rates for financial instruments with a similar average remaining life. The fair value of the Company's $60,050 of convertible senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $70,212 at June 27, 2024, determined based on market rates and the closing trading price of the convertible senior notes as of June 27, 2024. The carrying amounts of the Company’s remaining long-term debt approximate their fair values, determined using current rates for similar instruments, or Level 2 pricing inputs.

Defined Benefit Plan - The components of the net periodic pension cost of the Company’s unfunded nonqualified, defined-benefit plan are as follows:


	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
	June 27, 2024		June 29, 2023		June 27, 2024		June 29, 2023

(1)Included in other revenues is an immaterial amount related to rental income that is not considered revenue from contracts with customers.

The Company had deferred revenue from contracts with customers of $39,705 and $38,034 as of June 27, 2024 and December 28, 2023, respectively. The Company had no contract assets as of June 27, 2024 and December 28, 2023. During the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $12,789 that was included in deferred revenues as of December 28, 2023. During the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $10,875 that was included in deferred revenues as of December 29, 2022.

As of June 27, 2024, the amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under the Company’s advanced ticket sales was $1,989 and is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as part of deferred revenues, which is included in other accrued liabilities. As of June 27, 2024, the amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to the amount of Theatres non-redeemed gift cards was $15,178 and is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as part of deferred revenues. The Company recognizes revenue as the tickets and gift cards are redeemed, which is expected to occur within the next two years.

As of June 27, 2024, the amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to the amount of Hotels and Resorts non-redeemed gift cards was $4,254 and is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as part of deferred revenues. The Company recognizes revenue as the gift cards are redeemed, which is expected to occur within the next two years.

The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized in less than one year from the original contract.

New Accounting Pronouncements - In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU No. 2023-07), which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. ASU No 2023-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 26, 2024, and the Company’s interim periods beginning in fiscal 2025. The Company is evaluating the effect that the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU No. 2023-09), which requires improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU No. 2023-09 will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2025 and must be applied prospectively with retrospective application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Credit Agreement

As of June 27, 2024, the Company has a five year Credit Agreement that provides for a revolving credit facility that matures on October 16, 2028 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $225,000. At June 27, 2024, there were borrowings of $45,000 outstanding on the revolving credit facility, which when borrowed, bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus a margin (as discussed further below), effectively 6.98% at June 27, 2024. Availability under the $225,000 revolving credit facility was $175,185 as of June 27, 2024 after taking into consideration outstanding letters of credit that reduce revolver availability.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) the term SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, subject to a 0% floor, plus a specified margin based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio as of the most recent determination date, or (ii) the alternate base rate (“ABR”) (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the greater of the federal funds rate and the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%), subject to a 1% floor, plus a specified margin based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio as of the most recent determination date. The revolving credit facility also requires an annual facility fee equal to 0.175% to 0.275% of the total revolving commitments depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio.

The Credit Agreement includes, among other restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company, a requirement that the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio not exceed 3.50:1.00, provided that, with some limitations, such ratio may be increased to 4.00:1:00 for the full fiscal quarter in which a material acquisition (in which aggregate consideration equals or

exceeds $30,000) is consummated and the three fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, and a requirement that the Company’s interest coverage ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter not be less than 3.00:1.00.

In connection with the Credit Agreement: (i) the Company has pledged, subject to certain exceptions, security interests and liens in and on (a) substantially all of its respective personal property assets and (b) certain of its respective real property assets, in each case, to secure the Credit Agreement and related obligations; and (ii) certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then, among other things, the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise rights and remedies against the pledged collateral.

Note Purchase Agreements

At June 27, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $70,000 of senior notes consist of two Note Purchase Agreements maturing in 2025 through 2027, require annual principal payments in varying installments and bear interest payable semi-annually at fixed rates ranging from 4.02% to 4.32%.

Convertible Senior Notes

On September 17, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to issue and sell $100,050 aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes.”) The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated September 22, 2020, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

The Convertible Notes bear interest from September 22, 2020 at a rate of 5.00% per year. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes may bear additional interest under specified circumstances relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations under the Indenture or if the Convertible Notes are not freely tradeable as required by the Indenture. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Prior to March 15, 2025, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances: (i) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2020 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after March 15, 2025, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof. The initial conversion rate was 90.8038 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.01 per share of Common Stock), representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 22.5% to the $8.99 last reported sale price of the Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2020. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events, including distributions and dividends paid to holders of Common Stock. At June 27, 2024, the applicable conversion rate is 93.8880 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an applicable conversion price of approximately $10.65 per share of Common Stock). If the Company undergoes certain fundamental changes, holders of Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes for a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, if a make-whole

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE 13 AND 26 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 27, 2024

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who convert Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes before maturity and no “sinking fund” is provided for the Convertible Notes. The Indenture includes covenants customary for securities similar to the Convertible Notes, sets forth certain events of default after which the Convertible Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company and certain of its subsidiaries after which the Convertible Notes become automatically due and payable.

Since the Company’s fiscal 2021 second quarter through the Company’s fiscal 2024 second quarter, the Company’s Convertible Notes were eligible for conversion at the option of the holders as the last reported sale price of the Common Stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the last 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. During the Company’s fiscal 2024 third quarter the Convertible Notes are not eligible for conversion at the option of the holders as the last reported sale price of the Common Stock was not greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the last 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. The Company has the ability to settle the conversion in Company stock. As such, the Convertible Notes will continue to be classified as long-term. Future convertibility and resulting balance sheet classification of this liability will be monitored at each quarterly reporting date and will be analyzed dependent upon market prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the prescribed measurement period.

In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes on September 17, 2020, and in connection with the exercise by the Initial Purchasers (as defined in the Convertible Notes purchase agreement) of their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes on September 18, 2020, the Company entered into privately negotiated Capped Call Transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution of the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes. If, however, the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially $17.98 per share (in no event shall the cap price be less than the strike price of $11.0128), which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Common Stock of $8.99 per share on The New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2020. Under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, the cap price is subject to adjustment for certain events, including distributions and dividends paid to holders of Common Stock. At June 27, 2024, the adjusted cap price is approximately $17.39 per share. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not change the rights of holders of the Convertible Notes under the Convertible Notes and the Indenture.

Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain holders of its Convertible Notes. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange $86,401 in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for cash consideration of $101,087 (or $87,857 net of the cash received by the Company in connection with the unwind of a portion of the Capped Call Transactions as discussed below) effected over two separate repurchase tranches (the “Convertible Notes Repurchases”). On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into the first repurchase transaction to retire $40,000 of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $45,879 in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into the second repurchase transaction to retire $46,401 of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $55,208 in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with

settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024. Following settlement of the Convertible Note Repurchases on July 16, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding was $13,649. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024, the Company incurred debt conversion expense of $13,908 in connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases.

In connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases, the Company entered into unwind agreements with the Capped Call Counterparties to terminate a portion of the Capped Call Transactions equal to the notional amounts of the Convertible Notes Repurchases, and for the Company to receive aggregate cash of $13,230 effected over two separate unwind tranches. On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into the first tranche of unwind agreements and received $5,770 in cash consideration with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into the second tranche of unwind agreements and received $7,460 in cash consideration at settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024.

3. Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a finance lease or an operating lease according to Accounting Standards Codification No. 842, Leases. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. The Company leases real estate and equipment with lease terms of one year to 45 years, some of which include options to extend and/or terminate the lease.

The majority of the Company’s lease agreements include fixed rental payments. For those leases with variable payments based on increases in an index subsequent to lease commencement, such payments are recognized as variable lease expense as they occur. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, including those that depend on the Company’s performance or use of the underlying asset, are also expensed as incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Total lease cost consists of the following:


		13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
Lease Cost	Classification	June 27, 2024		June 29, 2023		June 27, 2024		June 29, 2023

of restricted stock to certain executives with a vesting period of 100% after four years, or upon retirement after three years. Restricted stock awards are issued and outstanding common stock at the time of the grant and become unrestricted upon the vesting date. RSU awards are payable in common stock upon vesting. The Company expenses the cost of restricted stock and RSU awards over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant.

Performance Stock Units

During the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2024, the Company granted PSUs with vesting subject to the Company’s achievement of performance goals expressed in terms of (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, growth rate ranking relative to the Russell 2000 Index with respect to 25% of the total number of performance stock unit awards, and (ii) the Company’s average return on invested capital, or ROIC, ranking relative to the Russell 2000 Index with respect to 75% of the total number of performance stock unit awards. For grants awarded in fiscal 2024, the PSU performance goals relate to the three-year performance period from fiscal 2024-2026. PSUs are payable at the end of their respective performance period in common stock, and the number of PSUs awarded can range from zero to 150% depending on the Company’s achievement of the relative performance metrics. The Company expenses the cost of PSUs based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant and the estimated achievement of the performance metric, ratable over the performance period of three fiscal years.

A summary of the Company’s stock option, restricted stock and RSU and PSU activity and related information follows, with PSUs reflected at the target achievement percentage until the completion of the performance period (shares in thousands):

Share-based compensation expense was $2,418 and $4,932, respectively, during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2024, and $1,515 and $3,687, respectively, during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 29, 2023. As of June 27, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to stock options was $2,647, which will be amortized to expense over the weighted-average remaining life of 2.1 years. As of June 27, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs was $8,194, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 3.1 years.

At June 27, 2024, there were 446,074 shares available for grants of additional stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, PSUs and other types of equity awards under the current plan.

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2024 was (39.4)% and 4.9%, respectively, and 23.3% and 24.0% for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 29, 2023, respectively. The fiscal 2024 first half effective income tax rate was negatively impacted by a nondeductible debt conversion expense resulting from the Convertible Notes Repurchases and a $1,085 reduction in deferred tax assets resulting from the related termination of the Capped Call Transactions and excess compensation subject to deduction limitations.

6. Joint Venture Transactions

In March 2024, the Company formed a joint venture with Hempel Real Estate (“Hempel”) and Robinson Park (“RP”) to acquire the Loews Minneapolis Hotel, a 251 guest room and suite full-service lifestyle hotel located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The acquired hotel was rebranded as The Lofton Hotel (“Lofton”) under the Tapestry Collection by Hilton flag. The Company invested $5,620 for a 33.3% equity interest in the Lofton joint venture and entered into a management agreement for the hotel. Subsequent to its initial investment in the joint venture, the Company sold an 8.6% interest to a minority investor for $1,500, reducing its equity interest in the Lofton joint venture to 24.7%. The Company accounts for its investment in the Lofton joint venture on the equity method.

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lofton joint venture entity, as the borrower, financed the acquisition of and future improvements to the hotel with a mortgage loan. In connection with this mortgage loan, the Company provided an environmental indemnity and a several payment guaranty that provides that the lender can recover losses from the Company, a principal in Hempel, and a principal in RP for certain events of default of the borrower up to $6,200 for the Company. Under the terms of a cross-indemnity agreement among the guarantors, the other two guarantors have fully indemnified the Company under the guarantees for any losses in excess of its proportionate liability under the several payment guaranty and environmental indemnity.

7. Business Segment Information

The Company’s primary operations are reported in the following business segments: Theatres and Hotels/Resorts. Corporate items include amounts not allocable to the business segments. Corporate revenues consist principally of rent and the corporate operating loss includes general corporate expenses. Corporate information technology costs and accounting shared services costs are allocated to the business segments based upon several factors, including actual usage and segment revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

We report our consolidated and individual segment results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Thursday in December. Fiscal 2024 is a 52-week year beginning on December 29, 2023 and ending on December 26, 2024. Fiscal 2023 was a 52-week year that began on December 30, 2022 and ended on December 28, 2023.

We divide our fiscal year into three 13-week quarters and a final quarter consisting of 13 or 14 weeks. The second quarter of fiscal 2024 consisted of the 13-week period beginning on March 29, 2024 and ended on June 27, 2024. The second quarter of fiscal 2023 consisted of the 13-week period beginning March 31, 2023 and ended on June 29, 2023. Our primary operations are reported in the following two business segments: movie theatres and hotels and resorts. Within this MD&A, amounts for totals, subtotals, and variances may not recalculate exactly within tables due to rounding as they are calculated using the unrounded numbers.

Overall Results

The following table sets forth revenues, operating income (loss), other income (expense), net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted common share for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 (in millions, except for per share and variance percentage data):


	Second Quarter								First Half
					Variance								Variance
	F2024		F2023		Amt.		Pct.		F2024		F2023		Amt.		Pct.

Net earnings (loss)	$	(20.2)	$	13.5	$	(33.7)	(250.2)	%	$	(32.1)	$	4.0	$	(36.1)	(902.2)	%

Revenues, operating income (loss), net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted common share decreased during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023. The decline in our overall operating results was primarily due to a decrease in revenues and operating income from our theatre division during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023. Revenues from our hotels and resorts division increased during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023, while operating income was flat during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, and decreased slightly during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the first half of fiscal 2023 primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense.

Other income (expense) and net earnings (loss) during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 were negatively impacted by debt conversion expense of $13.9 million in connection with the $86.4 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes Repurchases. See Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A for further discussion.

Other income (expense) and net earnings (loss) during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 were favorably impacted by decreased interest expense compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023.

We recognized investment income of $0.2 million and $0.9 million during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023, respectively. Variations in investment income were due to changes in the value of marketable securities.

Our interest expense totaled $2.6 million and $5.1 million for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024, respectively, compared to $3.1 million and $6.1 million for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023, respectively. The decrease in interest expense in fiscal 2024 was primarily due to decreased borrowings and a decrease in non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. Changes in our borrowing levels due to variations in our operating results, capital expenditures, acquisition opportunities (or the lack thereof) and asset sale proceeds, among other items, may impact, either favorably or unfavorably, our actual reported interest expense in future periods, as may changes in short-term interest rates.

We reported income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of $5.7 million compared to income tax expense of $4.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. We reported income tax benefit for the first half of fiscal 2024 of $1.7 million compared to income tax expense of $1.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2023. Our fiscal 2024 first half effective income tax rate was 4.9%, and was negatively impacted by nondeductible debt conversion expense resulting from the Convertible Notes Repurchases and a $1.1 million reduction in deferred tax assets resulting from the related termination of the Capped Call Transactions (combined negative impact of 7.5 percentage points) and excess compensation subject to deduction limitations. Our fiscal 2023 first half effective income tax rate was 24.0%. We anticipate that our effective income tax rate for fiscal 2024 may be in the 5-10% range, excluding any potential changes in federal or state income tax rates, valuation allowance adjustments or other one-time tax benefits. Our actual fiscal 2024 effective income tax rate may be different from our estimated quarterly rates depending upon actual facts and circumstances.

Our theatre division revenues and operating income decreased with weaker performances from films during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024, compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023. The second quarter of fiscal 2023 benefited from a very strong performance from The Super Mario Bros Movie, and the first half of fiscal 2023 also benefited from a strong carryover performance from Avatar: The Way of Water, while the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 had fewer blockbuster films. In addition, the film slate in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 was negatively impacted by the content supply chain disruption from the shutdown of movie production during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA labor strikes in 2023, which contributed to a weaker slate of available films compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023. Our operating income during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 decreased compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023 as a result of decreased theatre attendance.

The following table provides a further breakdown of the components of revenues for the theatre division for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 (in millions, except for variance percentage):


	Second Quarter								First Half
					Variance								Variance
	F2024		F2023		Amt.		Pct.		F2024		F2023		Amt.		Pct.
Admission revenues	$	48.6	$	69.0	$	(20.4)	(29.6)	%	$	89.2	$	116.6	$	(27.4)	(23.5)	%
Concession revenues	44.4		59.7		(15.3)		(25.6)	%	79.1		102.1		(23.0)		(22.5)	%
Other revenues	8.5		8.2		0.3		3.7	%	14.4		14.5		(0.1)		(0.6)	%
Total revenues	101.5		136.9		(35.4)		(25.9)	%	182.7		233.2		(50.5)		(21.7)	%

According to data received from Comscore (a national box office reporting service for the theatre industry) and compiled by us to evaluate our fiscal 2024 second quarter and first half results, U.S. box office receipts decreased 26.8% during our fiscal 2024 second quarter and 19.7% during our fiscal 2024 first half compared to the same comparable weeks in fiscal 2023, indicating that our decrease in admission revenues for comparable theatres (excluding theatres closed during the past year) during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 of 28.8% and 22.7% underperformed the industry by 2.0 and 3.0 percentage points, respectively. We believe our underperformance is attributable to an unfavorable film mix during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 that was more appealing to audiences in other parts of the U.S. than in our Midwestern markets, compared to a favorable film mix during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023 that included Avatar: The Way of Water, The Super Mario Bros Movie, and Guardian of the Galaxy Vol.3, which played well in our Midwestern markets.

Additional data received and compiled by us from Comscore indicates our admission revenues at comparable theatres during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 represented approximately 3.0% of the total admission revenues in the U.S. (commonly referred to as market share in our industry) during both periods, compared to 3.1% during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023. Our goal is to continue our historical long-term pattern of outperforming the industry, but our ability to do so in any given quarter will likely be partially dependent upon film mix, weather and the competitive landscape in our markets.

Total theatre attendance for our comparable theatres decreased 26.3% during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which was primarily attributable to a weaker film slate and lower box office performance from the top films during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 (led by only two weeks of Inside Out 2) versus the top films last

Table of Contents

fiscal year during the second quarter (led by twelve weeks of The Super Mario Bros. Movie). During the second quarter of fiscal 2024 there were 28 wide-release films (films showed in over approximately 1,500 theatres in the U.S.) compared to 29 wide-release films during the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Total theatre attendance for our comparable theatres decreased 22.6% during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the prior year period, resulting primarily from the weaker film slate. During both the first half of fiscal 2024 and the first half of fiscal 2023, there were 52 wide-release films. While the number of wide-release films during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 was similar compared to the prior fiscal year periods, the average opening weekend U.S. box office gross per wide release was approximately 28% and 27% lower, respectively, reflecting a weaker film slate with fewer significant franchises and a generally lower quality of product.

Our highest grossing films during the fiscal 2024 second quarter included Inside Out 2, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and IF. Our top five films during our fiscal 2024 second quarter accounted for 56% of our total box office results, compared to 63% (including event cinema in both periods) for the top five films during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, both expressed as a percentage of the total admission revenues for the relevant period. A decreased concentration of blockbuster films during a given quarter often has the effect of lowering our film rental costs during the period, as generally the better a particular film performs, the greater the film rental cost tends to be as a percentage of box office receipts. As a result of a less concentrated film slate, our overall film cost as a percentage of admission revenues decreased during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Our average ticket price decreased 3.1% during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. During the first half of fiscal 2024, our average ticket price increased 0.2% compared to the first half of fiscal 2023. Our average ticket price during the second quarter was negatively impacted by an increased percentage of our weekly attendance coming from Value Tuesday, promotional pricing offerings, including a $7 Everyday Matinee for seniors and children that was introduced during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, as well as a lower percentage of tickets for 3D and Premium Large Format (PLF) showings during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023 due to the related film mix during each period. The overall change in average ticket price unfavorably impacted our admission revenues of our comparable theatres by $1.7 million and $0.1 million during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023, respectively.

Our average concession revenues per person increased by 2.3% and 1.6% during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023, respectively, primarily due to inflationary increases in concessions prices in response to increases in food and labor costs, as well an increase in the number of concessions items purchased per customer. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we made changes to our Value Tuesday promotion for our Magical Movie Rewards (MMR) loyalty members, discontinuing the prior promotion that offered a 20% discount on all concessions, food and non-alcoholic beverages and reintroducing a free complimentary-sized popcorn, which has been well received by guests. The overall increase in average concession revenues per person favorably impacted our concession revenues of our comparable theatres by $0.9 million during both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023.

Other revenues during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased by $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023 due to an increase in internet surcharge ticketing fees per person, partially offset by the impact of decreased attendance on internet surcharge ticketing fees and preshow and in-app advertising revenue. Late during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we made changes to the criteria for waiving internet surcharge ticket fees for our MMR members, resulting in an increase in ticketing fees per person during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Other revenues during the first half of fiscal 2024 decreased by $0.1 million compared to the first half of fiscal 2023 due to the impact of decreased attendance on internet surcharge ticketing fees and preshow and in-app advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in internet surcharge ticketing fees per person in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

The quantity, quality, and mix of films available for theatrical exhibition, including wide-release films, was negatively impacted during fiscal 2024 by the shutdown of movie production resulting from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA labor strikes that occurred during fiscal 2023. While the labor strikes were resolved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 with film production resuming thereafter, we expect the quantity of new film releases available for theatrical exhibition during fiscal 2024 to be negatively impacted by the prolonged shutdown of movie production resulting in several film release dates shifting to fiscal 2025. While lead times for movie production to theatrical release are lengthy, based upon projected film and alternate content availability, we currently estimate that we may once again show an increased number of films and

alternate content events on our screens during fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, but we expect the number of wide-release films shown during fiscal 2024 to decrease compared to fiscal 2023.

We ended the second quarter of fiscal 2024 with a total of 981 company-owned screens in 78 theatres, compared to 1,027 company-owned screens in 82 theatres at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023. We made decisions to close several underperforming theatres during fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, including one of our owned theatres in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, two owned theatres in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, two owned theatres and one leased theatre in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, and one leased theatre in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Hotels and Resorts

The following table sets forth revenues, operating income and operating margin for our hotels and resorts division for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 (in millions, except for variance percentage and operating margin):


	Second Quarter										First Half
							Variance										Variance
	F2024			F2023			Amt.		Pct.		F2024			F2023			Amt.		Pct.
Revenues	$	74.5		$	70.1		$	4.4	6.3	%	$	131.7		$	125.9		$	5.8	4.6	%
Operating income	6.1			6.1			—		0.2	%	1.0			1.1			(0.1)		(11.0)	%
Operating margin (% of revenues)	8.2		%	8.7		%					0.7		%	0.9		%

Hotels and resorts revenues increased 6.3% and 4.6% during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023, respectively. Our hotels and resorts division operating income remained relatively flat during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023 primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense from hotel renovations placed in service during fiscal 2023, offsetting the incremental profit on higher revenues.

The following table provides a further breakdown of the components of revenues for the hotels and resorts division for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 (in millions, except for variance percentage):


	Second Quarter								First Half
					Variance								Variance
	F2024		F2023		Amt.		Pct.		F2024		F2023		Amt.		Pct.
Room revenues	$	30.5	$	28.6	$	1.9	6.5	%	$	48.7	$	46.5	$	2.2	4.7	%
Food/beverage revenues	19.3		18.6		0.7		3.8	%	35.4		33.8		1.7		4.9	%
Other revenues	14.0		13.2		0.8		6.2	%	27.6		26.4		1.2		4.6	%
Total revenues before cost reimbursements	63.8		60.4		3.4		5.6	%	111.8		106.7		5.1		4.8	%
Cost reimbursements	10.7		9.7		1.1		11.0	%	19.9		19.2		0.7		3.7	%
Total revenues	$	74.5	$	70.1	$	4.4	6.3	%	$	131.7	$	125.9	$	5.8	4.6	%

Division total revenues before cost reimbursements increased 5.6% and 4.8% during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023, respectively, due to growth in food and beverage revenues and increased occupancy at five of our seven owned hotels.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth certain operating statistics for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, including our average occupancy percentage (number of occupied rooms as a percentage of available rooms), our average daily room rate, or ADR, and our total revenue per available room, or RevPAR, for comparable company-owned properties:


	Second Quarter										First Half
							Variance										Variance
	F2024			F2023			Amt.		Pct.		F2024			F2023			Amt.		Pct.
Occupancy pct.	72.7		%	68.2		%	4.5 pts		6.6	%	63.2		%	59.5		%	3.7 pts		6.2	%
ADR	$	187.03		$	187.34		$	(0.31)	(0.2)	%	$	171.36		$	173.68		$	(2.32)	(1.3)	%
RevPAR	$	136.03		$	127.70		$	8.33	6.5	%	$	108.30		$	103.33		$	4.97	4.8	%

Note: These operating statistics represent averages of our seven distinct comparable company-owned hotels and resorts, branded and unbranded, in different geographic markets with a wide range of individual hotel performance. The statistics are not necessarily representative of any particular hotel or resort.

RevPAR increased at five of our seven comparable company-owned properties during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Group demand continued to grow during the fiscal 2024 second quarter, with weekday occupancy growth due to increasing group business as a percentage of our overall business mix. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, our group business represented approximately 44.6% of our total rooms revenue, compared to approximately 40.1% during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. An increase in group business as a percentage of our overall business mix generally increases overall occupancy while negatively impacting ADR. The increase in group business also favorably impacted food and beverage revenues during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023 due to an increase in banquets and catering. Non-group pricing decreased in some of our major markets during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, due to generally lower transient travel demand and due to a shift in pricing strategy as we optimized pricing to drive higher occupancy and overall RevPAR through lower daily rate offerings.

According to data received from Smith Travel Research and compiled by us in order to evaluate our fiscal 2024 second quarter and first half results, comparable “upper upscale” hotels—hotels identified as our industry— throughout the United States experienced an increase in RevPAR of 3.0% during our fiscal 2024 second quarter compared to the same period during fiscal 2023, leading us to believe we outperformed the industry during the fiscal 2024 second quarter by approximately 3.5 percentage points. During the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the first half of fiscal 2023, comparable “upper upscale” hotels experienced an increase in RevPAR of 2.4%, leading us to believe we outperformed the industry during the first half of fiscal 2024 by 2.4 percentage points. We believe our outperformance during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 results primarily from our strong performance in the group customer segment as well as improved revenue management and rate optimization resulting in higher occupancy growth compared to the rest of the industry.

Data received from Smith Travel Research for our various “competitive sets”—hotels identified in our specific markets that we deem to be competitors to our hotels—indicates that these hotels experienced an increase in RevPAR of 4.6% during our fiscal 2024 second quarter, again compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. Therefore, we outperformed our competitive sets during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 by approximately 1.9 percentage points. During the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the first half of fiscal 2023, hotels in our competitive sets experienced an increase in RevPAR of 3.7%, indicating that we outperformed our competitive set hotels by approximately 1.1 percentage points. We again believe our outperformance to our competitive sets during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 results primarily from our strong performance in the group customer segment as well as improved revenue management and rate optimization resulting in higher occupancy growth compared to the competitive sets.

Looking to future periods, overall occupancy in the U.S. is expected to continue to slowly increase. In the near term, we expect leisure travel demand to normalize and we expect our group business to remain strong. Leisure travel in our markets has a seasonal component, peaking in the summer months and slowing down as children return to school and the weather turns colder in our primarily Midwestern markets. We expect gradual increases in business travel as corporate training events, meetings, and conferences return and office occupancy increases. As of the date of this report, our group room revenue bookings for the remainder of fiscal 2024 - commonly referred to in the hotels and resorts industry as “group pace” - is running approximately 11% ahead of where we were at the same time last year, excluding bookings related to the July 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Group room revenue bookings for fiscal 2025 is running over 36% ahead of where we were at the same time in fiscal 2023 for fiscal 2024. Banquet and catering revenue pace for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 is similarly running ahead of where we were at this same time last year, excluding bookings related to the

July 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. We are encouraged by continuing positive trends in group bookings for the remainder of fiscal 2024, fiscal 2025 and beyond.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance and enterprise value. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for us and investors, as it eliminates certain expenses that are not indicative of our core operating performance and facilitates a comparison of our core operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a basis to determine certain annual cash bonuses and long-term incentive awards, to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by analysts, investors and other interested parties as a performance measure to evaluate industry competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or free cash flow for management’s discretionary use. Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation before investment income or loss, interest expense, other expense, gain or loss on disposition of property, equipment and other assets, impairment charges, equity earnings or losses from unconsolidated joint ventures, net earnings or losses attributable to noncontrolling interests, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash share-based compensation expense, adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the items eliminated in the adjustments made to determine Adjusted EBITDA, such as acquisition expenses, preopening expenses, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges and other adjustments. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Definitions and calculations of Adjusted EBITDA differ among companies in our industries, and therefore Adjusted EBITDA disclosed by us may not be comparable to the measures disclosed by other companies.

The following table sets forth Adjusted EBITDA by reportable operating segment for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 (in millions, except for variance percentage):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our movie theatre and hotels and resorts businesses each generate significant and consistent daily amounts of cash, subject to previously-noted seasonality, because each segment’s revenue is derived predominantly from consumer cash purchases. We believe that these relatively consistent and predictable cash sources, as well as the availability of unused credit lines, would be adequate to support the ongoing operational liquidity needs of our businesses.

Maintaining and protecting a strong balance sheet has always been a core value of The Marcus Corporation during our 88-year history and our financial position remains strong. As of June 27, 2024, we had a cash balance of approximately $32.8 million, $175.2 million of availability under our $225 million revolving credit facility, our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.28, and our net leverage ratio was 1.85x net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. With our strong liquidity position combined with cash generated from operations, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due and to comply with our debt covenants for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as fund our longer-term capital requirements.

The following table sets forth our reconciliations of Net Debt and Net Leverage (Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA) (in millions, except leverage ratio):



	June 27, 2024		December 28, 2023
Long-term debt (GAAP measure) (1)	$	175.7	$	169.9
Finance lease obligations (GAAP measure) (2)	14.1		15.3
Less: Cash and cash equivalents	(32.8)		(55.6)
Net Debt	$	157.0	$	129.6

Net Debt	$	157.0	$	129.6
LTM Adjusted EBITDA (3)	84.8		108.7
Net Leverage (Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA)	1.85x		1.19x

(1)Represents total long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt.

(2)Represents total finance lease obligations, including the current portion of finance lease obligations.

(3)LTM Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA as reconciled and defined above for the last four fiscal quarters.

We believe Net Leverage is a useful measure, as it provides management and investors an indication of our indebtedness less unrestricted cash relative to our earnings performance.

We or our affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive.

Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $20.9 million during the first half of fiscal 2024, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $47.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2023. The $26.4 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a $36.1 million decrease in net earnings, a $1.3 million increase in cash matching contributions to our retirement savings and profit-sharing plan, a decrease in deferred income tax benefits and unfavorable changes in working capital, partially offset by a $13.9 million non-cash debt conversion expense and an increase in non-cash share-based compensation expense.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities during the first half of fiscal 2024 totaled $40.6 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $16.6 million during the first half of fiscal 2023. The increase in net cash used in investing activities of $24.0 million was the result of an increase of $19.4 million in capital expenditures, a $5.6 million purchase of joint venture interests in The Lofton Hotel, and an increase in cash used in the purchase of trading securities and other investing activities, partially offset by a $1.5 million sale of joint venture interests in The Lofton Hotel to other minority investors. Total cash capital expenditures (including normal continuing capital maintenance and renovation projects) totaled $35.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to $15.9 million during the first half of fiscal 2023.

Fiscal 2024 first half cash capital expenditures included approximately $6.5 million incurred in our theatre division, primarily related to normal maintenance capital projects. We also incurred capital expenditures in our hotels and resorts division during the first half of fiscal 2024 of approximately $27.0 million, including costs related to guest room renovations at The Pfister Hotel, meeting space renovations at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa and normal maintenance capital projects.

Net cash used in financing activities during the first half of fiscal 2024 totaled $2.3 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $6.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2023. During the first half of fiscal 2024, we increased our borrowings under our revolving credit facility as needed to fund our cash needs and used excess cash to reduce our borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As short-term revolving credit facility borrowings became due, we replaced them as necessary with new short-term revolving credit facility borrowings. As a result, we added $81.0 million of new short-term revolving credit facility borrowings, and we made $36.0 million of repayments on short-term revolving credit facility borrowings during the first half of fiscal 2024 (net $45.0 million increase in borrowings on our credit facility). We ended the second quarter of fiscal 2024 with $45.0 million outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. During the first half of fiscal 2023, we increased our borrowings under our revolving credit facility as needed to fund our cash needs and used excess cash to reduce our borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As a result, we added $38.0 million of new short-term revolving credit facility borrowings, and we made $38.0 million of repayments on short-term revolving credit facility borrowings during the first half of fiscal 2023 (net zero borrowings on our credit facility).

Principal payments on long-term debt were approximately $0.7 million during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to payments of $0.8 million during the first half of fiscal 2023.

During the first half of fiscal 2024 we paid $46.5 million in cash for the Convertible Notes Repurchases (as defined below) and related transaction costs, with no repurchases in fiscal 2023. We received $5.8 million in cash from the proportionate unwind of the Capped Call Transactions in connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases during the first half of fiscal 2024. See Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases for further discussion below.

Our debt-to-capitalization ratio (excluding our finance and operating lease obligations) was 0.28 at June 27, 2024, compared to 0.26 at December 28, 2023.

During the first half of fiscal 2024 and the first half of fiscal 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the open market, although it is more likely we will do so in the second half of fiscal 2024. As of June 27, 2024, approximately 2.4 million shares remained available for repurchase under prior Board of Directors repurchase authorizations. Under these authorizations, we may repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market, pursuant to privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending upon a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions.

Dividends paid during the first half of fiscal 2024 were $4.4 million. Dividends paid during the first half of fiscal 2023 were $3.1 million. We have the ability to declare quarterly dividend payments and/or repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market as we deem appropriate.

Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain holders of its Convertible Notes. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange $86.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for cash consideration of $101.1 million (or $87.9 million net of the cash we received in connection with the unwind of a portion of the Capped Call Transactions as discussed below) effected over two separate repurchase tranches (the “Convertible Notes Repurchases”). On May 8, 2024, we entered into the first repurchase transaction to retire $40.0 million of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $45.9 million in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal

second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, we entered into the second repurchase transaction to retire $46.4 million of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $55.2 million in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024. Following settlement of the Convertible Note Repurchases on July 16, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding was $13.6 million.

In connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases, we entered into unwind agreements with the Capped Call Counterparties to terminate a portion of the Capped Call Transactions equal to the notional amounts of the Convertible Notes Repurchases, and to receive aggregate cash of $13.2 million effected over two separate unwind tranches. On May 8, 2024, we entered into the first tranche of unwind agreements and received $5.8 million in cash consideration with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, we entered into the second tranche of unwind agreements and received $7.5 million in cash consideration at settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024.

During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024, we incurred debt conversion expense of $13.9 million in connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases. The unwind of the Capped Call Transactions resulted in a $12.9 million increase in capital in excess of par within shareholders’ equity during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024.

Master Note Purchase Agreement

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024, on July 9, 2024, we entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement with several purchasers party to the agreement, pursuant to which we issued and sold $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes in two tranches: (i) $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.89% Series 2024 Senior Notes, Tranche A due July 9, 2031 (the “Tranche A Notes”) and (ii) $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.02% Series 2024 Senior Notes, Tranche B due July 9, 2034 (the “Tranche B Notes” and, collectively with the Tranche A Notes, the “2024 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds were used to refinance the Convertible Notes Repurchases of $86.4 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes and for general corporate purposes.

Interest on the 2024 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on the 9th day of January and July each year, commencing on January 9, 2025, and on the applicable maturity date. The Tranche A Notes require annual principal amortization payments beginning in fiscal 2027 with a final maturity in fiscal 2031. The Tranche B Notes require annual principal amortization payments beginning in fiscal 2028 with a final maturity in fiscal 2034. The Master Note Purchase Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are consistent with the restrictions, covenants and collateral provisions in the Company’s existing Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreements. Among other requirements, the Master Note Purchase Agreement requires us to maintain (i) a ratio of consolidated net debt (as defined in the Master Note Purchase Agreement) to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Master Note Purchase Agreement) of 3.50 to 1.00 or less, with some temporary exceptions for material acquisitions, and (ii) a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (as defined in the Master Note Purchase Agreement) for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter) of 3.00 to 1.00 or more.

Under these authorizations, we may repurchase shares of our Common Stock from time to time in the open market, pursuant to privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. As of June 27, 2024, we had repurchased approximately 9.3 million shares of our Common Stock under these authorizations.

These authorizations do not have an expiration date.
