MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ENTERTAINMENT CORP. REPORTS

FISCAL 2022 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

FY2022 Second Quarter Results Reflect Continued Ramp-up of Live Events at Company’s Performance Venues

Tao Group Hospitality’s Results Reflect Ongoing Robust Demand in Las Vegas and New York Markets

NEW YORK, N.Y., February 9, 2022—Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) (“MSG Entertainment”) today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2021. While the Company completed the acquisition of MSG Networks on July 9, 2021, MSG Networks’ results are included on a combined basis with the Company for all periods presented.

During the fiscal 2022 second quarter, events at the Company’s performance venues continued to ramp up, highlighted by a busy schedule of concerts, New York Knicks (“Knicks”) and New York Rangers (“Rangers”) home games at The Garden, and the return of the Christmas Spectacular to Radio City Music Hall. In addition, MSG Networks commenced full regular season telecast schedules for its five professional teams across the NBA and NHL, while Tao Group Hospitality continued to benefit from strong consumer demand led by the Las Vegas and New York markets. The emergence of the Omicron variant impacted some of the Company’s operating momentum late in the quarter, most notably leading to the Christmas Spectacular production concluding its 2021 holiday season run earlier than anticipated, as well as the postponement or cancellation of a number of other events.

For the fiscal 2022 second quarter, the Company reported revenues of $516.4 million, an increase of $347.7 million as compared with the prior year quarter. In addition, the Company reported operating income of $35.4 million and adjusted operating income of $76.1 million for the fiscal 2022 second quarter, as compared to an operating loss of $46.8 million and adjusted operating income of $9.8 million in the prior year quarter.⁽¹⁾

Executive Chairman and CEO James L. Dolan said, “The fiscal second quarter reflected the ramp up of live events at our venues, as well as continued activity in marketing partnerships and strong performance at Tao Group Hospitality. Looking ahead, we believe the positive momentum being generated across our business and the ongoing construction progress of MSG Sphere in Las Vegas position us well to create long-term shareholder value.”
