CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. General

Basis of Presentation - The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 26, 2024 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 September 30, 2025, 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 26, 2024.

Beginning on December 27, 2024, the Company’s fiscal year changed from a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Thursday in December of each year to a fiscal year ending on December 31 of each year. Accordingly, effective for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the Company’s quarterly results will be for three month periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. In this quarterly report, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 refer to the periods July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025 and December 27, 2024 through September 30, 2025, respectively, and the three and nine months ended September 26, 2024 refer to the periods June 28, 2024 through September 26, 2024 and December 29, 2023 through September 26, 2024, respectively.

Accounting Policies - Refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (including footnotes) for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2024, 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 $16,828 and $52,256, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $17,277 and $49,992, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2024.

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 nine months ended September 26, 2024, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at one asset group for a leased theatre location in which the Company 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 or September 26, 2024.

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:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Effect of convertible senior notes	—		14		—		—
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	31,175		32,031		31,449		32,002

Weighted-average number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from denominator (in thousands):
Employee stock options	2,084		2,800		1,641		2,809
Restricted stock units	—		—		—		49
Performance stock units	237		139		221		141
Convertible senior notes	—		—		—		14
Total	2,321		2,939		1,862		3,013

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 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods when the effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.

Shareholders’ Equity - Activity impacting total shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 26, 2024 was as follows:

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 December 26, 2024, the Company’s $8,142 of debt and equity securities classified as trading were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in other current assets. At December 26, 2024, the Company had $19,002 of investments in money market funds which 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 September 30, 2025 and December 26, 2024, 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 September 30, 2025 and December 26, 2024, 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 $150,000 of senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $154,790 at September 30, 2025, determined based upon discounted cash flows using current market interest rates for financial instruments with a similar average remaining life. 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:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2025		September 26, 2024		September 30, 2025		September 26, 2024

Service cost	$	51	$	62	$	151	$	186
Interest cost	463		445		1,390		1,334

Net periodic pension cost	$	508	$	491	$	1,524	$	1,472

Service cost is included in Administrative expense while all other components are recorded within Other expense outside of operating income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU No. 2023-09). ASU No. 2023-09 requires on an annual basis specific category disclosures in the rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold within the rate reconciliation, and additional disclosures related to income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 and must be applied prospectively with retrospective application permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU No. 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2027. The Company is evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In fiscal 2024, the Company adopted 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.

The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Credit Agreement

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has a 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 September 30, 2025, there were borrowings of $13,000 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), approximately 5.87% at September 30, 2025. Availability under the $225,000 revolving credit facility was $206,626 as of September 30, 2025 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

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

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 September 30, 2025, the Company’s $150,000 of senior notes consisted of one Note Purchase Agreement and one Master Note Purchase Agreement (collectively the “Senior Notes Agreements”) maturing in 2027 through 2034, which require annual principal payments in varying installments and bear interest payable semi-annually at fixed rates ranging from 4.32% to 7.02%. The weighted average fixed rate of the $150,000 senior notes was 6.07% as of September 30, 2025.

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.

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 32.9% and 33.2%, respectively, and was 18.9% and (74.9)% for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was negatively impacted by excess compensation subject to deduction limitations. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, introducing significant U.S. tax changes. Key provisions that impact the Company are bonus depreciation and interest deductibility. The enactment of OBBBA did not have a significant impact on the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 26, 2024 was negatively impacted by a nondeductible debt conversion expense resulting from the Convertible Notes Repurchases and a $1,217 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 two business segments: movie theatres and hotels and resorts. The Marcus Corporation’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The measure of segment profit and loss the CODM uses to evaluate performance is operating income of each segment. The CODM uses this measure to evaluate trends and assess segment operating performance as compared to budget, historical periods, the industries each segment operates in and their competition in order to determine how to allocate resources to each segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis, are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified as such because the context of such statements include words such as we “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ materially from those expected, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the adverse effects future pandemics or epidemics may have on our theatre and hotels and resorts businesses, results of operations, liquidity, cash flows, financial condition, access to credit markets and ability to service our existing and future indebtedness; (2) the availability, in terms of both quantity and audience appeal, of motion pictures for our theatre division (including disruptions in the production of films due to events such as tariffs or a strike by actors, writers or directors or future pandemics); (3) the effects of theatre industry dynamics such as the maintenance of a suitable window between the date such motion pictures are released in theatres and the date they are released to other distribution channels; (4) the effects of adverse economic conditions in our markets; (5) the effects of adverse economic conditions on our ability to obtain financing on reasonable and acceptable terms, if at all; (6) the effects on our occupancy and room rates caused by the relative industry supply of available rooms at comparable lodging facilities in our markets; (7) the effects of competitive conditions in our markets; (8) our ability to achieve expected benefits and performance from our strategic initiatives and acquisitions; (9) the effects of increasing depreciation expenses, reduced operating profits during major property renovations, impairment losses, and preopening and start-up costs due to the capital intensive nature of our business; (10) the effects of changes in the availability of and cost of labor and other supplies essential to the operation of our business; (11) the effects of tariffs that are implemented or merely threatened on our costs; (12) the effects of weather conditions, particularly during the winter in the Midwest and in our other markets; (13) our ability to identify properties to acquire, develop and/or manage and the continuing availability of funds for such development; (14) the adverse impact on business and consumer spending on travel, leisure and entertainment resulting from terrorist attacks in the United States or other incidents of violence in public venues such as hotels and movie theatres; and (15) a disruption in our business and reputational and economic risks associated with civil securities claims brought by shareholders. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are based upon our assumptions, which are based upon currently available information. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this Form 10-Q and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

For fiscal 2024 and prior periods, we reported our consolidated and individual segment results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Thursday in December, dividing our fiscal year into three 13-week quarters and a final quarter consisting of 13 or 14 weeks. Fiscal 2024 was a 52-week year with 364 operating days, beginning on December 29, 2023 and ending on December 26, 2024.

Beginning on December 27, 2024, our fiscal year changed from a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Thursday in December of each year to a fiscal year ending on December 31 of each year. Accordingly, effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, our quarterly results will be for three month periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Fiscal 2025 is a 370 operating day year beginning on December 27, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2025 (comprised of five operating days between December 27-31, 2024, plus 365 operating days in calendar year 2025).

Table of Contents

The third quarter of fiscal 2025 consisted of the three month period beginning on July 1, 2025 and ended on September 30, 2025 and included one additional operating day compared to the prior year quarter. The third quarter of fiscal 2024 consisted of the three month period beginning June 28, 2024 and ended on September 26, 2024. The first three quarters of fiscal 2025 consisted of the nine month period beginning on December 27, 2024 and ended on September 30, 2025 and included five additional operating days compared to the prior year period. The first three quarters of fiscal 2024 consisted of the nine month period beginning on December 29, 2023 and ended on September 26, 2024.

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, other income (expense), net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted common share for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 (in millions, except for per share and variance percentage data):


	Third Quarter								First Three Quarters
					Variance								Variance
	F2025		F2024		Amt.		Pct.		F2025		F2024		Amt.		Pct.
Revenues	$	210.2	$	232.7	$	(22.5)	(9.7)	%	$	565.0	$	547.2	$	17.7	3.2	%

Net earnings (loss)	$	16.2	$	23.3	$	(7.1)	(30.4)	%	$	6.7	$	(8.8)	$	15.5	176.8	%

Revenues declined during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due to decreased revenues from our theatre division, partially offset by increased revenues in our hotels and resorts division. The third quarter of fiscal 2025 included one additional operating day compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Revenues increased during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 due to increased revenues in both divisions. Revenues in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 were favorably impacted by five additional operating days compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. The four additional operating days, occurring during the fiscal 2025 first quarter, favorably impacted revenues by approximately $9.2 million. The additional operating day in the fiscal 2025 third quarter had an immaterial impact on results.

Operating income during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased $10.1 million primarily due to decreased revenues in our Theatre division, increased corporate expenses and an increase in depreciation expense of $0.4 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Operating income during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 declined $3.0 million compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 due to increased corporate expenses and increased depreciation expense of $2.3 million, partially offset by increased operating income from our Theatre division compared to the prior year period.

Corporate expenses during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased $0.1 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due to a favorable $1.0 million decrease in non-cash stock compensation expense, partially offset by increases in depreciation expense, long-term incentive compensation expenses, professional fees, and personnel and benefits cost inflation. Corporate expenses during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 increased $2.5 million compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 due to increases in depreciation, long-term incentive compensation expenses, professional fees related to tax, audit and legal services, and personnel and benefits cost inflation.

Operating income during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was favorably impacted by a $0.1 million gain on disposition of property, equipment and other assets compared to a $0.1 million loss on disposition of property, equipment and other assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Operating loss during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 was favorably impacted by a $1.3 million gain on disposition of property, equipment and other assets largely due to the sale of surplus land, compared to a $0.1 million loss during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

Table of Contents

Other income (expense) and net earnings (loss) during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were impacted by a decrease in interest expense, a decrease in investment income, an increase in other income primarily due to a $4.5 million gain from a property insurance settlement, and a decrease in debt conversion expense, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Other income (expense) and net earnings (loss) during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 were impacted by an increase in interest expense, fluctuations in investment income, an increase in other income primarily due to a $4.5 million gain from a property insurance settlement, and a decrease in debt conversion expense, compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

Our interest expense totaled $2.8 million and $8.6 million for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, respectively, compared to $3.1 million and $8.2 million for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, respectively. The decrease in interest expense during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily due to decreased borrowings and a decrease in non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. The increase in interest expense during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 was primarily due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates, partially offset by 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 recognized investment income of $0.0 million and $0.5 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, respectively, compared to $0.8 million and $1.7 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, respectively. Variations in investment income were due to changes in the value of marketable securities.

Other income (expense) and net earnings (loss) were negatively impacted by debt conversion expense of $1.4 million and $15.3 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, respectively, in connection with the $99.9 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes Repurchases. See “2024 Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A for further discussion.

Net earnings and net earnings per diluted common share declined during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, resulting from a decrease in operating income, partially offset by an increase in other income (expense), which was favorably impacted by a $4.5 million gain on insurance settlement during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and was negatively impacted by debt conversion expense of $1.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted common share improved during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 resulting from a decrease in operating income, offset by an increase in other income (expense), which was favorably impacted by a $4.5 million gain on insurance settlement during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025. Net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted common share was negatively impacted by debt conversion expense of $15.3 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

We reported income tax expense of $8.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to expense of $5.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. We reported income tax expense of $3.3 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to expense of $3.8 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. Our fiscal 2025 first three quarters effective income tax rate was 33.2% and was negatively impacted by excess compensation subject to deduction limitations. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted on July 4, 2025, had an insignificant impact on our effective tax rate. We anticipate that our effective income tax rate for fiscal 2025 may be in the 32% to 34% range, excluding any potential changes in federal or state income tax rates, valuation allowance adjustments or other one-time tax benefits. Our actual fiscal 2025 effective income tax rate may be different from our estimated quarterly rates depending upon actual facts and circumstances.

Our fiscal 2024 first three quarters effective income tax rate was (74.9)%, and was negatively impacted by nondeductible debt conversion expense resulting from the Convertible Notes Repurchases and a $1.2 million reduction in deferred tax assets resulting from the related termination of the Capped Call Transactions (combined negative impact of 108 percentage points) and excess compensation subject to deduction limitations.

Revenues and operating income for the Theatre division decreased during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower attendance driven by weaker performances from blockbuster film releases. The third quarter of fiscal 2025 included one additional operating day compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, revenues and operating income increased compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, primarily due to stronger performances from films resulting in increased attendance in the first half of fiscal 2025, partially offset by weaker film performances in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The first three quarters of fiscal 2025 benefited from five additional operating days compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, with four days occurring during the fiscal 2025 first quarter and one day occurring in the fiscal 2025 third quarter.

The following table provides a further breakdown of the components of revenues for the theatre division for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 (in millions, except for variance percentage):


	Third Quarter								First Three Quarters
					Variance								Variance
	F2025		F2024		Amt.		Pct.		F2025		F2024		Amt.		Pct.

According to data received from Comscore (a national box office reporting service for the theatre industry) and compiled by us to evaluate our fiscal 2025 third quarter and first three quarters results, U.S. box office receipts decreased 12.0% during our fiscal 2025 third quarter compared to our fiscal 2024 third quarter, indicating that our decrease in admission revenues for comparable theatres (excluding theatres closed during the past year) of 15.8% during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 underperformed the industry by 3.8 percentage points. We believe our under performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was largely attributable to an unfavorable film mix, with certain titles that were more appealing to audiences in other parts of the U.S. than in our Midwestern markets, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 that included a favorable mix of films such as Deadpool & Wolverine, Despicable Me 4, Twisters, Inside Out 2, and It Ends With Us that played exceptionally well in our Midwestern markets. Unlike the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the top five films of the third quarter of fiscal 2025 did not include any family or animated films, which generally play well in our circuit. Conversely, we believe that new strategic pricing changes made during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 favorably contributed to our performance and partially offset the impact of an unfavorable film mix.

Data received and compiled by us from Comscore also indicates that U.S. box office receipts increased 7.0% during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, indicating that our increase of 2.4% in admission revenues for comparable theatres (excluding theatres closed during the past year) during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 underperformed the industry by 4.6 percentage points. We believe our underperformance during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 was attributable to strategic pricing decisions made during the release of blockbuster films during the first half of fiscal 2025 (we did not raise prices on most blockbuster films, unlike many national exhibitors) and our value promotions, resulting in lower average ticket price growth compared to other exhibitors. We believe our

underperformance was also the result of an unfavorable film mix, with certain titles that were more appealing to audiences in other parts of the U.S. than our Midwestern markets.

Additional data received and compiled by us from Comscore indicates our admission revenues at comparable theatres during both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025 represented approximately 2.9% of the total admission revenues in the U.S. (commonly referred to as market share in our industry), compared to 3.1% and 3.0% during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, respectively. Our goal is to outperform the industry, but our ability to do so in any given quarter will likely be partially dependent upon film mix, pricing strategies, weather and the competitive landscape in our markets.

Total theatre attendance for our comparable theatres decreased 18.7% during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, which was attributable to lower box office performances from the top five films. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, there were 32 wide-release films (films shown in over approximately 1,500 theatres in the U.S.) compared to 29 wide-release films during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. On a calendar quarter basis (July 1 through September 30), total theatre attendance for our comparable theatres decreased 17.7% during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024.

Total theatre attendance for our comparable theatres increased 1.7% during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, resulting primarily from the stronger film slate in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition, our total theatre attendance during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 benefited from an increased number of operating days during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 due to the transition of our fiscal quarter as described above. On a calendar quarter basis (January 1 through September 30), total theatre attendance for our comparable theatres decreased 1.7% during first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

Our highest grossing films during the fiscal 2025 third quarter included Superman, Jurassic World: Rebirth, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, The Conjuring: Last Rites, and Weapons. Our top five films during our fiscal 2025 third quarter accounted for 53% of our total box office results, compared to 66% for the top five films during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, both expressed as a percentage of the total admission revenues for the relevant period. An increased concentration of blockbuster films during a given quarter often has the effect of increasing 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 third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Our average ticket price increased 3.6% during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Our average ticket price during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was favorably impacted by an increased percentage of ticket sales coming from premium large format (PLF) screens and strategic pricing changes. These increases were partially offset by an unfavorable ticket mix, including an increase in the percentage of our attendance coming from Value Tuesday. The overall change in average ticket price favorably impacted our admission revenues of our comparable theatres by $2.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Our average ticket price increased 0.7% during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, resulting from an increased percentage of ticket sales coming from premium large format (PLF) screens, and strategic pricing changes introduced during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the Everyday Matinee promotional offering for seniors and children introduced during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The overall change in average ticket price favorably impacted our admission revenues of our comparable theatres by $1.2 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

Our average concession revenues per person increased by 2.1% and 2.9% during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, respectively, compared to the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, resulting from an increase in movie merchandise sales and menu price increases. The overall increase in average concession revenues per person favorably impacted our concession revenues of our comparable theatres by $1.2 million and $4.4 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, respectively, compared to the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

Other revenues during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased by $1.9 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, 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 average internet surcharge ticketing fees per person. Other revenues during the

Table of Contents

first three quarters of fiscal 2025 increased by $2.3 million compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 due to the impact of increased attendance on internet surcharge ticketing fees and preshow and in-app advertising revenue, as well as an increase in average internet surcharge ticketing fees per person.

We ended the third quarter of fiscal 2025 with a total of 971 company-owned screens in 77 theatres and 14 managed screens at one theatre, compared to 981 company-owned screens in 78 theatres and 14 managed screens at one theatre at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024. We made decisions to close underperforming theatres during fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, including one leased theatre in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and one leased Movie Tavern theatre in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we added one theatre that we manage for the owner of a lifestyle shopping center.

Hotels and Resorts

The following table sets forth revenues, operating income and operating margin for our hotels and resorts division for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 (in millions, except for variance percentage and operating margin):


	Third Quarter										First Three Quarters
							Variance										Variance
	F2025			F2024			Amt.		Pct.		F2025			F2024			Amt.		Pct.
Revenues	$	90.1		$	88.7		$	1.4	1.6	%	$	225.7		$	220.4		$	5.3	2.4	%
Operating income	16.4			17.0			(0.7)		(4.0)	%	14.5			18.0			(3.5)		(19.4)	%
Operating margin (% of revenues)	18.1		%	19.2		%					6.4		%	8.2		%

Hotels and resorts division revenues increased 1.6% during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The third quarter of fiscal 2025 included one additional operating day compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due to the change in fiscal calendar as described above. During the prior year third quarter, division revenues were favorably impacted by approximately $3.3 million from the Republican National Convention (RNC) that was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Division operating income during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased $0.7 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, and was negatively impacted by an increase in depreciation expense of $0.5 million due to hotel renovations completed during fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025.

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, hotels and resorts division revenues increased 2.4% and benefited from five additional operating days compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 (four of which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and one occurring during the third quarter of fiscal 2025). Operating income declined $3.5 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, due to a $4.1 million increase in depreciation expense partially offset by the favorable impact of the increase in revenues.

The following table provides a further breakdown of the components of revenues for the hotels and resorts division for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 (in millions, except for variance percentage):


	Third Quarter								First Three Quarters
					Variance								Variance
	F2025		F2024		Amt.		Pct.		F2025		F2024		Amt.		Pct.
Room revenues	$	39.9	$	40.0	$	(0.1)	(0.4)	%	$	88.8	$	88.7	$	0.1	0.1	%
Food/beverage revenues	24.1		22.3		1.9		8.3	%	63.3		57.7		5.5		9.6	%
Other revenues	16.3		16.7		(0.4)		(2.3)	%	45.2		44.3		0.8		1.8	%
Total revenues before cost reimbursements	80.3		79.0		1.3		1.7	%	197.2		190.8		6.4		3.4	%
Cost reimbursements	9.8		9.7		0.1		0.6	%	28.5		29.6		(1.1)		(3.7)	%
Total revenues	$	90.1	$	88.7	$	1.4	1.6	%	$	225.7	$	220.4	$	5.3	2.4	%

Division total revenues before cost reimbursements increased 1.7% during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, due to growth in food and beverage revenues driven by strong group business and increased occupancy at six of our seven owned hotels. Division total revenues before cost reimbursements increased 3.4% during the

first three quarters of fiscal 2025, compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, resulting primarily from an additional five operating days, growth in food and beverage revenues, as well as an increase in other revenues driven primarily by a group buyout of one condo hotel property during a portion of the first quarter, partially offset by the negative impact of the Hilton Milwaukee renovation.

The following table sets forth certain operating statistics for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, 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:


	Third Quarter										First Three Quarters
							Variance										Variance
	F2025			F2024			Amt.		Pct.		F2025			F2024			Amt.		Pct.
Occupancy pct.	78.4		%	76.7		%	1.7 pts		2.2	%	65.1		%	67.7		%	(2.6) pts		(3.8)	%
ADR	$	224.91		$	233.41		$	(8.50)	(3.6)	%	$	198.69		$	194.79		$	3.90	2.0	%
RevPAR	$	176.32		$	178.94		$	(2.62)	(1.5)	%	$	129.42		$	131.84		$	(2.42)	(1.8)	%

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 decreased at six of our seven comparable company-owned properties during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, driven mainly by decreased average daily rates which were significantly higher at our three Milwaukee hotels in the prior year due to the impact of the RNC. Group business as a percentage of our mix of business represented approximately 42.5% of our total rooms revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to approximately 47.3% during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 which included higher group business due to the RNC. Non-group pricing increased in some of our major markets during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to increased leisure demand.

According to data received from Smith Travel Research and compiled by us in order to evaluate our fiscal 2025 third quarter and first three quarters results, comparable “upper upscale” hotels—hotels identified as our industry— throughout the United States experienced a decrease in RevPAR of 1.3% during our fiscal 2025 third quarter compared to our fiscal 2024 third quarter, leading us to believe we slightly underperformed the industry during the fiscal 2025 third quarter by approximately 0.2 percentage points. We believe our underperformance during the third quarter was largely driven by the nonrecurring favorable impact of the RNC on the third quarter of fiscal 2024 which disproportionately affected our largest market and was not observed in other parts of the country. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, comparable “upper upscale” hotels experienced RevPAR growth of 0.3%, compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, leading us to believe we underperformed the industry during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 by approximately 2.1 percentage points. We believe our underperformance during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 resulted primarily from the unfavorable impact of the Hilton Milwaukee renovation and group displacement as a result of the reduced capacity during the first half of fiscal 2025. We estimate that the Hilton Milwaukee renovation negatively impacted our RevPAR growth by approximately 2.0 percentage points during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025.

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 a decrease in RevPAR of 6.7% during our fiscal 2025 third quarter, again compared to our fiscal 2024 third quarter. Therefore, we outperformed our competitive sets during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 by approximately 5.2 percentage points. We believe our outperformance to our competitive sets during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 resulted primarily from strong performance in our group customer segment, coupled with a strong summer golf season at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, hotels in our competitive sets experienced a decrease in RevPAR of 1.6%, indicating that we slightly underperformed our competitive set hotels by 0.2 percentage points. We believe the underperformance to our competitive sets during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 resulted primarily from group displacement at the Hilton Milwaukee while under renovation during the first half of fiscal 2025, which we believe unfavorably impacted our RevPAR growth while favorably impacting competitive hotels RevPAR growth. After adjusting for the estimated impact of the Hilton Milwaukee renovation, we believe our hotels outperformed their competitive sets during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 by approximately 2.1 percentage point.

We generally expect our revenue trends to track or exceed the overall industry trends for our segment of the industry, particularly in our respective markets. Hotel revenues have historically tracked very closely with traditional macroeconomic statistics, such as the Gross Domestic Product. The U.S. economic outlook remains in a period of heightened uncertainty. In the near term, we expect business travel demand to soften, and we expect our group business to remain stable. Leisure travel demand has softened in the midscale and economy segments of the market, while generally remaining stable in the upper upscale segment of the market that includes most of our properties. 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.

As of the date of this report, our group room revenue bookings for fiscal 2025 - commonly referred to in the hotels and resorts industry as “group pace” - is running approximately 4% behind where we were at the same time last year. Group room revenue bookings for fiscal 2026 is running approximately 14% ahead of where we were at the same time in fiscal 2024 for fiscal 2025. Banquet and catering revenue pace for fiscal 2025 is running approximately 14% ahead of where we were at the same time last year. Banquet and catering revenue pace for fiscal 2026 is running approximately 13% ahead of where we were at the same time in fiscal 2024 for fiscal 2025.

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.

Our theatre division Adjusted EBITDA decreased during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due to decreased revenues and less operating leverage with the lower attendance, partially offset by decreases in film costs. Our hotels and resorts division Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and was negatively impacted by changes in revenue mix, with higher margin rooms revenue remaining effectively flat and lower margin food and beverage revenue increasing. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to corporate items decreased during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due primarily to increased long-term incentive compensation expenses, personnel and benefits cost inflation, recruiting fees and an increase in professional fees.

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, theatre division Adjusted EBITDA decreased compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, due to increases in labor expenses, benefits costs, and maintenance expenses, partially offset by the favorable impact of higher revenue, including the impact of four additional operating days in the fiscal 2025 first quarter and one additional operating day in the fiscal 2025 third quarter, as described above. Our hotels and resorts Adjusted EBITDA increased during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 due to higher revenue resulting from additional operating days and an increase in group business, partially offset by increased associate benefits and maintenance costs. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to corporate items decreased during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 due primarily to increased long-term incentive compensation expenses, professional fees related to tax, audit, and legal services, personnel and benefits cost inflation, and recruiting fees.

(7)Other non-recurring includes professional fees related to convertible debt repurchase transactions.

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. However, our cash position may fluctuate from time-to-time based on seasonality of our businesses, the timing of interest payments on our debt as well as timing of payment of other operating expenses that are paid on an infrequent basis.

Table of Contents

Maintaining and protecting a strong balance sheet has always been a core value of The Marcus Corporation during our 90-year history and our financial position remains strong. As of September 30, 2025, we had a cash balance of approximately $7.4 million, $206.6 million of availability under our $225 million revolving credit facility, our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.26, and our net leverage ratio was 1.69x 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):



	September 30, 2025		December 26, 2024
Long-term debt (GAAP measure) (1)	$	162.0	$	159.1

Net Debt	$	166.4	$	131.3
LTM Adjusted EBITDA (3)	98.3		102.4
Net Leverage (Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA)	1.69x		1.28x

(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.

Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $35.4 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $51.4 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. The $16.0 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $14.4 million unfavorable impact from the seasonal timing of payments of accounts payable, a $3.0 million increase in prepaid and other assets and a $15.3 million non-cash debt conversion expense in the prior year that did not recur, partially offset by a $15.5 million increase in net earnings, increases in non-cash depreciation and amortization, and favorable timing of collections of accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 totaled $46.6 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $58.4 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $11.8 million was the result of a decrease in net contributions to hotel joint ventures in the prior year period that did not recur, $8.2 million in proceeds from the sale of trading securities during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to $1.1 million in purchases of trading securities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, and $4.5 million in insurance settlement proceeds during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, partially offset by an increase of $7.0 million in capital expenditures. Total cash capital expenditures (including normal continuing capital maintenance and renovation projects) totaled $60.8 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to $53.8 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

approximately $2.9 million, which includes $1.2 million for the purchase of land acquired in a 1031 tax-deferred exchange for future development, and the final costs related to office construction for the relocation of our corporate and divisional headquarters that occurred during fiscal 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 totaled $22.9 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $19.8 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, 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 $156.0 million of new short-term revolving credit facility borrowings, and we made $143.0 million of repayments on short-term revolving credit facility borrowings during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 (net $13.0 million increase in borrowings on our credit facility). We ended the third quarter of fiscal 2025 with $13.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. During the first three quarters 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 a result, we added $81.0 million of new short-term revolving credit facility borrowings, and we made $81.0 million of repayments on short-term revolving credit facility borrowings during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 (net zero increase in borrowings on our credit facility).

Principal payments on long-term debt were approximately $10.4 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 compared to payments of $11.0 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, we received $100.0 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of senior notes.

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, we paid $102.5 million in cash for the Convertible Notes Repurchases (as defined below) and related transaction costs. We received $13.2 million in cash from the proportionate unwind of the Capped Call Transactions in connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. See “2024 Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases” for further discussion below.

Our debt-to-capitalization ratio (excluding our finance and operating lease obligations) was 0.26 at September 30, 2025, compared to 0.26 at December 26, 2024.

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock for $16.2 million in the open market, compared to 0.7 million shares of our common stock for $9.7 million in the open market during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. As of September 30, 2025, approximately 0.7 million shares remained available for repurchase under prior Board of Directors repurchase authorizations. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, on October 30, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 4.0 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in 4.7 million shares remaining available for repurchase under 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 three quarters of fiscal 2025 were $6.8 million. Dividends paid during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 were $6.6 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.

2024 Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases

During the first three quarters 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 $99.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for cash consideration of $121.5 million (or $103.3 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 three 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2024, except for the addition of, and the revision to, the risk factors set forth below, respectively, which were previously included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025:

Tariffs that are implemented or merely threatened may increase the cost of commodities we purchase for use in our hotels, restaurants or theatres or the cost of production for films released in our theatres.

The federal government may threaten or implement tariffs on other countries that supply commodities we purchase for use in our hotels, restaurants or theatres or on countries in which films are produced or filmed. The tariffs themselves could have the impact of increasing the aggregate purchase cost of the same products, reducing the supply of available products or raise the cost of showing films in our theatres. Additionally, these tariffs may result in retaliation by the affected countries, leading to trade wars with an unpredictable result. We may not be able to offset increased cost through room rate, menu or ticket price increases, and even if we were to increase room rate, menu or ticket prices to cover some or all of the increased cost, such action could lead to decreased traffic to our hotels, restaurants or theatres which would negatively affect our financial results.

The lack of both the quantity and audience appeal of motion pictures may adversely affect our financial results.

The financial results of our movie theatre business and the motion picture industry in general are heavily dependent on the general audience appeal of available films, together with studio marketing, advertising and support campaigns, factors over which we have no control. The relative success of our movie theatre business will continue to be largely dependent upon the quantity and audience appeal of films made available by the movie studios and other producers. Poor performance of films, a disruption in the production of films due to events such as tariffs or threatened tariffs, a strike by actors, writers or directors, or a reduction in the marketing efforts of the film distributors to promote their films could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Our industry experienced a significant reduction in the quantity of films available to exhibit in theatres in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic. The quantity of new film releases available for theatrical exhibition during fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 was negatively impacted by the shutdown of movie production during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA labor strikes that occurred during fiscal 2023. Studios may also determine that certain types of films will not be released for theatrical exhibition and will go straight to streaming services, further impacting the quantity of films available. Also, our quarterly results of operations are significantly dependent on the quantity and audience appeal of films that we exhibit during each quarter. As a result, our quarterly results may be unpredictable and somewhat volatile.
