THE MARCUS CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2021 RESULTS
Marcus Theatres® and Marcus Hotels® & Resorts again outperformed their respective industries;
Company returns to positive cash flow in June as recovery from the pandemic continues

 

Milwaukee, August 4, 2021 … The Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS) today reported results for the second quarter fiscal 2021 ended July 1, 2021.

 

“Our operating performance continues to improve as we emerge further from the depths of the pandemic,” said Gregory S. Marcus, president and chief executive officer of The Marcus Corporation. “Both of our businesses again outperformed their respective industries during the quarter. Marcus Hotels & Resorts exceeded expectations yet again, with positive adjusted EBITDA for both the quarter and first half of the year. Marcus Theatres, which proved again to be one of the top performing theatre circuits compared to the top 10 circuits in the United States, continues to experience pent up demand for out-of-home entertainment. While it will take some time to return to pre-pandemic levels, we are encouraged by the positive momentum in both our operating businesses which contributed to positive company-wide adjusted EBITDA for the month of June.”

Marcus Theatres®

 

The fiscal 2021 second quarter began with 74% of our theatres open. As the number of vaccinated individuals increased, consumer confidence improved and several highly-anticipated new films were released by movie studios, Marcus Theatres reopened more theatres. Currently, 97% of our theatres are open, with the vast majority operating seven days a week with normal operating hours.

 

The division’s operating loss decreased significantly in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year but was negatively impacted by impairment charges related to surplus theatre real estate. Average concession revenues per person continue to be strong and have increased by 17 percent during the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to the first half of fiscal 2020, further contributing to the division’s improved results.

When comparing its admission revenues and overall industry box office results to pre-pandemic levels in fiscal 2019, Marcus Theatres outperformed the industry by nearly 4 percentage points during the fiscal 2021 second quarter and over 5 percentage points during the first half of fiscal 2021, according to data received from Comscore. Based on this data, the company believes this makes Marcus Theatres one of the top performing theatre circuits during fiscal 2021 compared to the top 10 circuits in the United States.

 

“Towards the latter half of the fiscal 2021 second quarter, studios released a number of exciting new films to the market, with four of the top five films released during the last five weeks of the quarter,” said Rolando Rodriguez, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Marcus Theatres. “With many remaining restrictions loosened, increased adoption of the vaccine and consumers seeking more opportunities for entertainment outside of the home, the success of these films set new post-pandemic records in succession. Moreover, it appears our guests are truly enjoying the entire moviegoing experience as evidenced by the substantial increase in concession revenues during the quarter. We believe some of this increase may be attributed to the ongoing adoption of our electronic and mobile ordering options which provide a low-to-no touch experience and help reduce wait times at the concession stand.”

 

Our highest grossing films in the fiscal 2021 second quarter included “A Quiet Place Part II,” “Godzilla vs. Kong,” “F9: The Fast Saga,” “Cruella” and “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.” The highly anticipated “Black Widow” opened to a strong response in July, with the following films also contributing to early third quarter results: “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” “Old,” “Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins” and “Jungle Cruise.” Additional new films scheduled for release in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 include “The Suicide Squad,” “Free Guy,” “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.”

 

The film slate for the remainder of 2021 is expected to also be very strong and includes films such as “Hotel Transylvania: Transformania,” “No Time to Die,” “Halloween Kills,” “Dune,” “Eternals,” Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Encanto,” “West Side Story,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Sing 2,” “The King’s Man” and “The Matrix 4.”

Marcus® Hotels & Resorts

 

Marcus Hotels & Resorts continued to experience significantly improved operating performance in the second quarter fiscal 2021, with several company-owned hotels reporting positive operating income during the quarter. RevPAR increased at all eight company-owned properties during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, with the drive-to-leisure customer continuing to provide the most demand. Marcus Hotels & Resorts again outperformed the industry and its competitive sets by approximately 4 and 7 percentage points, respectively, for the second quarter fiscal 2021, and approximately 8 percentage points each for the first half of fiscal 2021.

 

“Our results in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2021 continued to exceed expectations,” said Michael Evans, president of Marcus Hotels & Resorts. “While demand continues to be driven by ‘drive-to leisure’ consumers, we are encouraged by noticeable improvements in business and group travel. As more businesses bring employees back to the office, our hope is remaining business travel restrictions will ease. The Milwaukee Bucks eight-week NBA championship playoff run contributed to our June and July occupancies at the company’s three Milwaukee hotels and we are also encouraged by group bookings for the Ryder Cup, which is currently scheduled for late September, showcasing larger events are continuing to make a comeback.”

 

Group booking pace for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 remains behind prior years at this time, but bookings have been increasing in recent weeks. Banquet and catering booking pace, while also behind pre-pandemic levels, has benefited from increases in wedding bookings.

 

In June 2021, the company announced that it was selected to manage the Coralville Hotel & Conference Center in Coralville, Iowa, effective August 18, 2021. Owned by the City of Coralville, the 286-room hotel will be rebranded under the Hyatt Regency brand, making it the first Hyatt Regency in the state of Iowa. The property will undergo a phased renovation focused on its restaurant and all hotel rooms. Situated just three miles from the University of Iowa, which is ranked as one of the best public universities in the country, the property boasts one of the area’s most desired locations for travelers as well as large scale meetings, events, exhibitions and more.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

 

The Marcus Corporation’s financial position remains strong, with $210 million in cash and revolving credit availability at the end of the fiscal 2021 second quarter. On July 13, 2021, the company amended its revolving credit agreement and made an early payment on its term loan facility, reducing the balance of the facility to $50 million and extending the term loan facility’s maturity date to September 2022.

 

“Our early payment of a portion of our term loan reflects our confidence in our strong liquidity position, which will also benefit in future periods from anticipated income tax refunds and the expected sale of several non-core real estate assets,” said Douglas Neis, executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer of The Marcus Corporation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation, Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted common share attributable to The Marcus Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA have been presented in this press release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The company defines Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation as net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance and the tax effect related to those items. The company defines Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted common share attributable to The Marcus Corporation as Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The company defines 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, equity earnings or losses from unconsolidated joint ventures, net earnings or losses attributable to noncontrolling interests, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. Reconciliations of these measures to the equivalent measures under GAAP are set forth in the attached tables.

Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation, Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted common share attributable to The Marcus Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA are key measures 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 net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation, Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted common share attributable to The Marcus Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures, as they eliminate certain expenses that are not indicative of the company’s core operating performance and facilitate 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 net earnings, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by analysts, investors and other interested parties as performance measures to evaluate industry competitors.

 

Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation, Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted common share attributable to The Marcus Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures of the company’s financial performance and should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings (loss) or diluted earnings (loss) per share as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and they should not be construed as an inference that the company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Additionally, Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of liquidity or free cash flow for management’s discretionary use. In addition, these non-GAAP measures exclude certain non-recurring and other charges. Each of these non-GAAP measures has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP. In evaluating Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation, Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted common share attributable to The Marcus Corporation and 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 net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation, Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted common share attributable to The Marcus Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA, such as acquisition expenses, preopening expenses, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges and other adjustments. The company’s presentation of Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation, Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted common share attributable to The Marcus Corporation and 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 net earnings (loss), Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA differ among companies in our industries, and therefore Adjusted net earnings (loss), Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA disclosed by the company may not be comparable to the measures disclosed by other companies.
