See page 4 of this earnings release for the definition of adjusted operating income (loss) included in the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.

(2)

As a result of the spin-off of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. ("MSG Entertainment") in April 2023 (which is presented as discontinued operations under GAAP), prior period results of the MSG Networks segment have been recast to exclude expenses related to MSG Networks' advertising sales representation agreement with MSG Entertainment, which was terminated effective as of December 31, 2022. The MSG Networks segment results previously included intercompany expenses of $8.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 related to this arrangement. A portion of these expenses was absorbed directly by MSG Networks following the termination of the advertising sales representation agreement and is reflected in MSG Networks' results beginning January 1, 2023.

Sphere
 For the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter, the Sphere segment reported revenues of $151.2 million, an increase of $150.5 million, as compared to the prior year quarter. Revenues related to The Sphere Experience were $74.5 million across 208 performances during the quarter.  Event-related revenues were $58.4 million, which reflected revenues from concerts, as well as a multi-day corporate takeover and marquee sporting event held at Sphere in Las Vegas during the quarter. In addition, revenues from sponsorship, signage, Exosphere advertising and suite license fees were $15.9 million, primarily reflecting advertising campaigns on the venue's Exosphere and, to a lesser extent, suite license fee revenues.

For the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter, the Sphere segment had direct operating expenses of $67.9 million, as compared to direct operating expenses of $1.1 million in the prior year quarter. This primarily included $22.2 million of event-related expenses and $22.1 million of expenses associated with The Sphere Experience during the quarter. In addition, direct operating expenses included $16.8 million of venue operating costs, as well as $2.1 million in expenses associated with sponsorship, signage, Exosphere advertising and suite license fee revenues.

Fiscal 2024 fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $102.1 million increased $11.8 million, or 13%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher employee compensation and related benefits and, to a lesser extent, higher professional fees. The overall increase was partially offset by the absence of certain corporate expenses that were included in the results of the prior year fourth quarter for the pre-spin period (April 1, 2023 to April 20, 2023) but were not included in the results for the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter. While the Company did not incur these costs after the spin-off of MSG Entertainment, which occurred on April 20, 2023, and does not expect to incur these costs in future periods, they did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations in the prior year quarter. In addition, the overall increase was partially offset by other net cost decreases.

Fiscal 2024 fourth quarter operating loss of $104.5 million increased by $9.3 million, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting higher depreciation and amortization, direct operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, selling, general and administrative expenses (including merger and acquisition related costs, net of insurance recoveries and share-based compensation expense), as well as impairment and other losses, net, partially offset by the increase in revenues. Adjusted operating loss of $5.5 million improved by $84.9 million, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting the increase in revenues, partially offset by higher direct operating expenses.

MSG Networks
For the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter, the MSG Networks segment reported total revenues of $122.2 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 5%, as compared to the prior year quarter. 

Distribution revenue decreased $9.2 million, primarily due to a decrease in total subscribers of approximately 13%, partially offset by the impact of higher affiliation rates.

As a result of the launch of MSG+ in June 2023, distribution revenue now includes both affiliation fee revenue earned from MSG Networks' distributors for the right to carry the Company's networks as well as revenue earned from subscriptions and single game purchases on MSG+. In addition, total subscribers includes both affiliate subscribers as well as monthly and annual subscribers of MSG+.

Advertising revenue increased $3.0 million, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher average per-game advertising sales related to regular season and postseason game telecasts on the linear networks and higher advertising revenue related to MSG+. 

Fiscal 2024 fourth quarter direct operating expenses of $81.6 million increased $0.1 million as compared to the prior year quarter. Other programming and production costs increased $0.3 million, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the impact of MSG+ in the current year quarter, partially offset by other net cost decreases. In addition, rights fees expenses decreased $0.3 million, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to reductions resulting from fewer NBA and NHL games made available to MSG Networks for exclusive broadcast and other rights fee decreases, partially offset by the impact of annual contractual rate increases.

Fiscal 2024 fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $4.9 million decreased $14.4 million, or 74%, as compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily due to lower professional fees of $8.5 million, mainly reflecting litigation-related insurance recoveries in the current year quarter and a decrease in litigation-related expenses, both associated with the merger of a subsidiary of the Company with MSG Networks Inc. In addition, employee compensation and related benefits (including share-based compensation) decreased $4.8 million.

Fiscal 2024 fourth quarter operating income of $33.2 million increased $8.3 million, or 33%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses (including insurance recoveries, net of merger and acquisition related costs), partially offset by the decrease in revenues. Adjusted operating income of $31.1 million increased $0.6 million, or 2%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding insurance recoveries, net of merger and acquisition related costs), partially offset by the decrease in revenues.

Other Matters
 As of June 30, 2024, MSG Networks had approximately $849.8 million of principal debt outstanding under its credit facilities, which mature on October 11, 2024. This debt is recourse only to MSG Networks. The Company had been in discussions with MSG Networks' existing syndicate of lenders regarding a potential refinancing of these facilities. As of today's date, MSG Networks has not been able to finalize a refinancing. Consequently, MSG Networks has decided to pursue a refinancing through a work-out with its existing syndicate of lenders and has hired advisors to assist it with the process.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 We define adjusted operating income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before ((i) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, (ii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs, (iii) share-based compensation expense, (iv) restructuring charges or credits, (v) merger and acquisition-related costs, including litigation expenses, (vi) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, (vii) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, and (ix) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of our business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. We eliminate merger and acquisition-related costs, when applicable, because the Company does not consider such costs to be indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company as they result from an event that is of a non-recurring nature, thereby enhancing comparability. In addition, management believes that the exclusion of gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance given that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan are recognized in Operating income (loss) whereas gains and losses related to the remeasurement of the assets under the Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which are equal to and therefore fully offset the gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities, are recognized in Other income (expense), net, which is not reflected in Operating income (loss).

We believe adjusted operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted operating income (loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze our performance. Internally, we use revenues and adjusted operating income (loss) as the most important indicators of our business performance, and evaluate management's effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted operating income (loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Since adjusted operating income (loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss), please see page 6 of this release.
