Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares financial information for three months ended September 30, 2025 to the same period in 2024.


Baseball revenue is derived from two primary sources on an annual basis: (i) baseball event revenue (ticket sales, concessions, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees) and (ii) broadcasting revenue (national and local broadcast rights). Mixed-Use Development revenue is derived primarily from a real estate portfolio including the mixed-use facility The Battery Atlanta and primarily includes rental income.

There were 41 regular season home games played in both the third quarter of 2025 and the comparable prior year period.

Baseball revenue increased 4% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily driven by growth in broadcasting revenue due to additional streaming rights granted to our regional broadcast partner, as well as contractual rate increases. Baseball event revenue increased primarily due to contractual rate increases on season tickets and existing sponsorship contracts, as well as new premium seating and sponsorship agreements, partially offset by reduced attendance at regular season home games.

Mixed-Use Development revenue increased 56% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to increases in rental income from various lease commencements and the in-place leases associated with an April 2025 acquisition of certain real estate assets (the “Acquisition”) as well as higher sponsorship revenue, partially offset by various lease terminations.

Operating income and Adjusted OIBDA(1) increased in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period due to revenue growth and a reduction in Baseball operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in Mixed-Use Development costs. Baseball operating costs decreased primarily due to decreases in major league player salaries and variable concession and retail expenses. This decrease was partially offset by increases in MLB’s revenue sharing plan, expenses for events held at Truist Park, and minor league related expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased due to reduced professional fees. Mixed-Use Development costs increased during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior period as a result of operating costs associated with the assets within the Acquisition.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

SCHEDULE 1: Reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to Operating Income (Loss)

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for ABH together with reconciliations to operating income, as determined under GAAP. ABH defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges, if applicable. However, ABH’s definition of Adjusted OIBDA may differ from similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies.

ABH believes Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because Adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, ABH views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that ABH management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA for ABH to operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

SCHEDULE 2: Cash and Debt

The following presentation is provided to separately identify cash and debt information. ABH cash decreased $14 million during the third quarter primarily as a result of seasonal working capital changes and debt service, partially offset by the release of restricted cash pursuant to the terms of various financial debt arrangements and net borrowings. ABH debt increased $57 million in the third quarter primarily due to borrowings on the TeamCo revolver to support working capital.
