    Stronger Film Slate Drove Improved Fourth Quarter and Second Half Results at Marcus Theatres; Marcus Hotels & Resorts Reports a Record Year

    The Marcus Corporation (NYSE:MCS) today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 ended December 26, 2024.

    "Our fourth quarter and full year results were a testament to the continued operational excellence by our associates at Marcus Theatres and Marcus Hotels & Resorts," said Gregory S. Marcus, chief executive officer of Marcus Corporation. "Our theatre division benefited from a much-improved slate of higher-quality films in the second half of fiscal 2024, while our hotel division continued their consistently strong performance resulting in a record year. After enduring the expected box office headwinds in the first half of the year, we exited 2024 with growing momentum and continued confidence in both businesses thanks to a stronger slate of highly anticipated wide release films expected in our theatre division and improvements in group bookings and mid-week occupancy in our hotel division."

    Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights

    • Total revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were $188.3 million, a 16.6% increase from total revenues of $161.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
    • Operating loss was $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to operating income of $1.2 million for the prior year quarter.

    • Net earnings was $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2023. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was favorably impacted by $6.0 million, or $0.19 per share, of income tax benefit due to decreases in valuation allowances for deferred state income taxes.
    • Net earnings per diluted common share was $0.03 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to a net loss per diluted common share of $0.05 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Excluding the impacts of the convertible senior notes repurchases, net earnings was $9.0 million for fiscal 2024.
    • Net loss per diluted common share was $0.25 for fiscal 2024, compared to net earnings per diluted common share of $0.46 for fiscal 2023. Excluding the impacts of the convertible senior notes repurchases, net earnings per diluted common share was $0.27 for fiscal 2024.

    Marcus Theatres®

    For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Marcus Theatres reported total revenues of $121.2 million, a 22.9% increase over the same period last year. Operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $3.3 million compared to operating income of $3.5 million for the same period of fiscal 2023, and was negatively impacted by $6.4 million of noncash impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $23.7 million, a 61.3% increase compared to $14.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

    Same store admission revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 15.4% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Same store attendance was up 29.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, with average ticket price decreasing 10.6% compared to the prior year period. The decrease in average ticket price was attributable to the positive impact of higher ticket prices for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, as well as the impact of pricing promotions designed to encourage moviegoing and drive long-term attendance growth, including the $7 Everyday Matinee and Value Tuesday. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Marcus Theatres' top five highest-performing films were Wicked, Moana 2, The Wild Robot, Gladiator II and Venom: The Last Dance.

    In November 2024, Marcus Theatres introduced Marcus Movie Club. For $9.99 per month, moviegoers who join Marcus Movie Club will receive a credit to see any 2D movie each month, get a 20% food and beverage discount, have unlimited access to additional tickets for $9.99, and pay no digital convenience fees. Early membership sales of Marcus Movie Club have been encouraging, with over 30% of customers choosing annual memberships.

    For the full year fiscal 2024, Marcus Theatres reported total revenues of $447.7 million compared to $458.4 million in fiscal 2023, with significant improvement in the film slate during the second half of fiscal 2024. Operating income was $22.1 million in fiscal 2024 compared to $36.2 million in fiscal 2023, and was negatively impacted by impairment charges of $6.8 million in fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $78.1 million compared to $86.4 million in fiscal 2023. Average ticket price decreased 1.6% during fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 with a strategic focus on promotions to drive attendance, while average concession revenue per person grew 2.1% over the prior year. The highest grossing films for the year included Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, Wicked, Moana 2 and Despicable Me 4, with four out of the five top films opening during the second half of fiscal 2024.

    "Fiscal 2024 was like a tale of two cities. While the first half of the year was challenging as we expected, by the third quarter, Marcus Theatres benefited from a dramatically improved film slate that played particularly well with audiences in our markets. That momentum continued through the holiday season and into 2025, thanks in large part to the blockbuster successes of films like Moana 2, Wicked and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the end of the year," said Mark A. Gramz, president of Marcus Theatres. "Several holiday films, such as Mufasa: The Lion King, have continued to play well into 2025, and we are excited by the strong start from Captain America: Brave New World in February. As we head deeper into 2025, we anticipate a larger quantity of high-quality films will thrill moviegoers throughout the year, with anticipation already building for Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, Jurassic World: Rebirth, Superman: Legacy, F1, Wicked 2 and Avatar: Fire and Ash, among other exciting films."

    "During the holiday season we continued to focus on providing value to our customers and driving attendance," added Gramz. "As evidenced by the robust increase in same store attendance during the fourth quarter, we believe any short-term impact on pricing will translate into a longer-term propensity for regular, repeat moviegoing. We will continuously evaluate and adjust our pricing strategies to drive long-term engagement in the incredible experiences of seeing great movies on the big screen."

    Several films have contributed to early fiscal 2025 first quarter results, including the carryover success of Mufasa: The Lion King, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Moana 2 and Nosferatu. New releases during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 that are performing well include: Captain America: Brave New World, One of Them Days, Wolf Man, Flight Risk and Dog Man. A strong film slate for fiscal 2025 features many well-known franchises and highly anticipated films including: Snow White, A Minecraft Movie, The Accountant 2, Mickey 17, Thunderbolts, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Karate Kid, Elio, How to Train Your Dragon, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, F1, Jurassic World Rebirth, Megan 2.0, Naked Gun, Superman: Legacy, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, I Know What you Did Last Summer, The Bad Guys 2, The Conjuring: Last Rites, Downton Abbey 3, Saw XI, The Bride, The Black Phone 2, Tron: Ares, Mortal Kombat 2, Blade, Now you See Me 3, Wicked Part 2, Zootopia 2, Five Nights at Freddy's 2, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants and Avatar: Fire and Ash.

    Marcus® Hotels & Resorts

    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, total revenues before cost reimbursements were $57.6 million, a 5.4% increase over the same period in fiscal 2023. Division operating income was $0.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $7.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

    Revenue per available room, or RevPAR, increased 3.6% at comparable company-owned hotels during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the prior year period. As a result, Marcus Hotels & Resorts outperformed the industry by 1.4 percentage points during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

    For the full year fiscal 2024, Marcus Hotels & Resorts' total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were records for the division. Total revenues before cost reimbursements were $248.3 million, a 6.4% increase compared to fiscal 2023. Operating income increased by 5.5% to $18.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $41.6 million, a 10.2% increase compared to the prior year. Comparable RevPAR grew at five out of seven company-owned hotels, increasing 6.2% in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. This resulted in Marcus Hotels & Resorts outperforming the industry by 4.1 percentage points during fiscal 2024. For full year 2024, total revenue under management at owned and managed hotels was $386.7 million.

    "Our record results were driven by a combination of factors, most notably improvements in group bookings, higher occupancy and average daily rates, improved revenue management and rate optimization strategies across our portfolio, as well as the positive impact of the Republican National Convention that was held in Milwaukee," said Michael R. Evans, president of Marcus Hotels & Resorts. "As we look ahead, group booking trends are above pre-pandemic levels and we are seeing encouraging improvements in weekday occupancy growth. Our commitment to operational excellence and delivering an exceptional guest experience helped deliver our record results in 2024, with our award-winning properties poised for continued growth and impact in the year ahead."

    Group booking pace for fiscal 2025 is running ahead of pace compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, and significantly ahead of pace when excluding the impact of the RNC. Fiscal 2026 booking pace is also running significantly ahead compared to the same period a year ago. Banquet revenue is running similarly ahead of the same time last year, with catering revenue running slightly behind for 2025 but ahead for 2026.

    In December 2024, Marcus Hotels & Resorts announced its most extensive renovation in the company's history at the Hilton Milwaukee. As the city's premier meeting and convention hotel, the more than $40 million renovation will transform 554 guest rooms, 34,000 square feet of meeting and event spaces, and its exquisite lobby. The remaining 175 rooms located in the west tower will eventually be removed from available room inventory. The decision not to renovate all guest rooms was the result of careful evaluation of current hotel market conditions, projected room supply and demand, risks associated with proposed new hotel room supply that will require significant public subsidy, and required investment returns. The guest room renovation began in the fourth quarter of 2024 and is expected to be substantially complete in the first half of 2025, with ballrooms and meeting space renovations substantially complete by late summer 2025.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measure

    Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release as a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) attributable to Marcus Corporation before investment income or loss, interest expense, other expense, gain or loss on disposition of property, equipment and other assets, 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 the company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. A reconciliation of this measure to the equivalent measure under GAAP, along with reconciliations of this measure for each of our operating segments, are set forth in the attached table.

    Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management and the company's board of directors to assess the company's financial performance and enterprise value. The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure, as it eliminates certain expenses and gains that are not indicative of the company's core operating performance and facilitates a comparison of the company's core operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period. The company also uses 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 its business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare its 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 the company's 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 and it should not be construed as an inference that the company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or free cash flow for management's discretionary use. In addition, this non-GAAP measure excludes certain non-recurring and other charges and has its limitations as an analytical tool. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the company 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. The company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that the company's 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 the company may not be comparable to the measures disclosed by other companies.
