FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of present and historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including without limitation, statements regarding the anticipated timing, benefits and costs associated with the Merger Agreement and Merger-Related Transactions (as defined below), our expectations surrounding the Merger Agreement and Merger-Related Transactions and its ability to maximize shareholder value, our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions, future events or expected performance, are forward-looking statements.
Without limiting the foregoing, you can generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "could," "mission," "may," "will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "project," "target," "predict," "potential," "contemplate," or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology and expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions and are based on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to:
1
These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we have no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

ENDEAVOR GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "EGH") was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in January 2019. The Company was formed as a holding company for the purpose of completing an initial public offering ("IPO") and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of Endeavor Operating Company, LLC (d.b.a. Endeavor) and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Endeavor" or "EOC"). As the sole managing member of Endeavor Manager, LLC ("Endeavor Manager"), which in turn is the sole managing member of EOC, the Company operates and controls all the business and affairs of Endeavor, and through Endeavor and its subsidiaries, conducts the Company’s business. The Company is a global sports and entertainment company.
In September 2023, the Company completed the transactions involving the business combination of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. ("WWE"), which is a media and entertainment company, and TKO OpCo (the "TKO Transactions"). As part of the TKO Transactions, among other things, a new, publicly listed company, TKO Group Holdings, Inc. ("TKO"), was formed. Upon closing of the TKO Transactions, Endeavor holds a controlling interest in TKO, which became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for reporting interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.2023. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including impacts for changes in the Company’s reportable segments as described in Note 15.presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying disclosures.
Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, content cost amortization and impairment, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and the assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, consolidation, investments, redeemable non-controlling interests, the fair value of equity-based compensation, tax receivable agreement ("TRA") liability, income taxes and contingencies.
Management evaluates these estimates using historical experience and other factors, including the general economic environment and actions it may take in the future. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. However, these estimates may involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. In addition, these estimates are based on management’s best judgment at a point in time and as such, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results.

13. INCOME TAXES
EGH was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in January 2019. It was formed as a holding company for the purpose of completing an IPO and other related transactions. As the sole managing member of Endeavor Manager, which is the sole managing member of EOC, EGH operates and controls all the business and affairs of EOC, and through EOC and its subsidiaries, conducts the Company’s business. EGH is subject to corporate income tax on its share of taxable income or loss of EOC derived through Endeavor Manager. EOC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. corporate income tax. However, certain of EOC’s subsidiaries are subject to U.S. or foreign corporate income tax. In addition, TKO, which is a consolidated subsidiary of EGH, is subject to corporate income tax.
In accordance with ASCAccounting Standards Codification Topic 740, each interim period is considered integral to the annual period and tax expense is generally determined using an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate ("AETR"). The Company would recordrecords income tax expense each quarter using the estimated AETR to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are noted in the relevant period. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes in interim periods, the Company computed its income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 based upon the AETR. The three months ended March 31, 2024 also includes a discrete item for the Zuffa legal settlement (Note 16).
The (benefit from) provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 is $$(140.4111.8) million and $2.735.5 million, respectively, based on pretax (loss) income of $$(820.0413.0) million and $84.878.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rate is 17.127.1% and 3.245.3% for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, respectively. The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is $175.9 million and $(14.5) million, respectively, based on pretax income of $898.2 million and $605.9 million, respectively. The effective tax rate is 19.6% and (2.4)% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision for income taxesbenefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 differs from the tax expense in the same periodsperiod in 20222023 primarily due to the tax effectsZuffa legal settlement of increased earnings$335.0 million that resulted in 2023, largely driven by the gain on sale of the Academy, and an increasea $69.1 million discrete benefit recognized in the tax rate at EGH, which had a valuation allowance in 2022, partially offset by $22.8 million resulting from a valuation allowance release on certain foreign tax credits. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022, the Company released a $53.7 million valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets while retaining a valuation allowance on a majority of other deferred tax assets.March 31, 2024. Any tax balances reflected on the June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 balance sheet wouldwill be adjusted accordingly to reflect the actual financial results for the year ending December 31, 2023.2024.
The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to partnership income not subject to income tax; state and local income taxes;taxes, withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions that are not based on net income; a partial release of a valuation allowance on certain foreign tax credit carryforwards;income, and income subject to tax in foreign jurisdictions which differ from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate as well as the relative amount of income earned in those jurisdictions.rate.
As of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $44.757.8 million and $42.456.7 million, respectively, for which we are unable to make a reasonable and reliable estimate of the period in which these liabilities will be settled with the respective tax authorities.
The Company records valuation allowances against its net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered based on all available positive and negative evidence, including historical results, reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and results of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, a valuation allowance was released due to expected partial realizability of foreign tax credits related to the sale of the Academy business.

The Company will continue to monitor legislative and regulatory developments in this area.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the IPO and related transactions, the Company entered into a TRA with certain persons that held direct or indirect interests in EOC and Zuffa prior to the IPO ("TRA Holders"). The TRA generally provides for the payment by EGH of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that EGH actually realizes (determined by using certain assumptions), or in some cases is deemed to realize, as a result of the following attributes: (i) increases in EGH’s share of the tax basis in the net assets of EOC resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units, (ii) increases in tax basis attributable to payments made under the TRA, (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRA and (iv) other tax attributes (including existing tax basis) allocated to EGH post-IPO and related transactions that were allocable to the TRA Holders prior to the IPO and related transactions. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has a TRA liability of approximately $839.2 million, after concluding that such TRA payments would be probable based on estimates of future taxable income over the term of the TRA.

Subsequent to the acquisitionAs of OpenBet and effective January 1, 2023,March 31, 2024, the Company created a fourth segment, Sports Data & Technology, to align with how the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") manages the businesses.

As a result, the Company now has the following four reportable segments: Owned Sports Properties, Events, Experiences & Rights, Representation, and Sports Data & Technology. The Company also reports the results for the "Corporate" group. All prior period amounts related to the segment change have been retrospectively reclassified to conform to the new presentation.
The profitability measure employed by the Company’s CODMchief operating decision maker for allocating resources and assessing operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Claims and Litigation
The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims and governmental investigations arising in the normal course of business. The types of allegations that arise in connection with such legal proceedings vary in nature, but can include contract, employment, tax and intellectual property matters. The Company evaluates all cases and records liabilities for losses from legal proceedings when the Company determines that it is probable that the outcome will be unfavorable and the amount, or potential range, of loss can be reasonably estimated. While any outcome related to litigation or such governmental proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the outcome of these matters, except as otherwise may be discussed below, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2017, the Italian Competition Authority ("ICA") issued a decision opening an investigation into alleged breaches of competition law in Italy, involving inter alia IMG, and relating to bidding for certain media rights of the Serie A and Serie B football leagues. In April 2018, the European Commission conducted on-site inspections at a number of companies that are involved with sports media rights, including the Company. The inspections were part of an ongoing investigation into the sector and into potential violations of certain antitrust laws that may have taken place within it. The Company investigated these ICA matters, as well as other regulatory compliance matters. In May 2019, the ICA completed its investigation and fined the Company approximately EUR 0.3 million. As part of its decision, the ICA acknowledged the Company’s cooperation and ongoing compliance efforts since the investigation commenced. In July 2019, three football clubs (the "Original Plaintiffs") and in June 2020, the Serie A football league (Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A or "Lega Nazionale," and together with the three clubs, the "Plaintiffs") each filed separate claims against IMG and certain other unrelated parties in the Court of Milan, Italy, alleging that IMG engaged in anti-competitive practices with regard to bidding for certain media rights of the Serie A and Serie B football league. The Plaintiffs seek damages from all defendants deriving from the lower value of the media rights in amounts totaling EUR 554.6 million in the aggregate relating to the three football clubs and EUR 1,750 million relating to Lega Nazionale, along with attorneys’ fees and costs. Since December 2020, four additional football clubs have each filed requests to intervene in the Lega Nazionale proceedings and individually seek to claim damages deriving from the lower value of the media rights in the aggregate totaling EUR 251.5 million. The Original Plaintiffs and these four additional clubs are also seeking additional damages relating to alleged lost profits and additional charges, quantified in the fourth quarter of 2022 in amounts totaling EUR 1,675 million. Ten other clubs also filed requests to intervene in support of Lega Nazionale’s claim or alternatively to individually claim damages deriving from the lower value of the media rights in the amount of EUR 284.9 million, in the case of five clubs, and unspecified amounts (to be quantified as a percentage of the total amount sought by Lega Nazionale) in the other five cases. Collectively, the interventions of these 14 clubs are the "Interventions." By judgment issued on May 8, 2024, the Court of Milan ruled that the clubs have a concurrent right to bring a claim, and Lega Nazionale is entitled to retain an award of only 10% of the aggregate loss suffered (if any) by the clubs deriving from the lower value of the media rights. The Company may appeal this ruling. In December 2022, one further football club filed a separate claim against IMG and certain other unrelated parties seeking damages from all defendants deriving from the lower value of the media rights in the amounts of EUR 326.9 million, in addition to alleged additional damages relating to lost profits and additional charges which have not yet been quantified. The Company has defended in its submissions to date, and intends to continue to defend, against all of the damages claims, Interventions and any related claims, and management believes that the Company has meritorious defenses to these claims, including the absence of standing of the clubs, and the absence of actual damage. The Company may also be subject to regulatory and other claims and actions with respect to these ICA and other regulatory matters. Any judgment entered against the Company or settlement entered into, including with respect to claims or actions brought by other parties, could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The TRA generally provides for the payment by EGH of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that EGH actually realizes, or in some cases is deemed to realize (Note 13). As of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, the Company had $993.4839.2 million and $1,011.7990.5 million recorded, respectively, of which $363.2289.5 million and $390.1362.8 million, respectively, is due to related parties.
Vincent K. McMahon, who served as the Executive Chairman of TKO's Board of Directors until January 26, 2024, previously controlled a significant portion of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of TKO’s common stock.
Mr. McMahon has agreed to make future payments to certain counterparties personally. In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T, Miscellaneous Accounting, Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholders (“Topic 5T”), the Company concluded that these amounts should be recognized by the Company as expenses in the period in which they become probable and estimable.
In connection with the acquisition of WWE, as of December 31, 2023 the Company assumed $1.5 million of liabilities related to future payments owed by Mr. McMahon to certain counterparties, of which $1.5 million was paid directly by Mr. McMahon during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Since these liabilities existed when Mr. McMahon controlled a significant portion of TKO’s common stock, these payments are considered non-cash capital contributions and are included as a component of nonredeemable non-controlling interests contributions in our consolidated statement of redeemable interests and shareholders’ equity.
In connection with and/or arising from the investigation conducted by a Special Committee of the former WWE board of directors, Mr. McMahon has agreed to reimburse TKO for additional costs incurred in connection with and/or arising from the same matters.

Segments
Subsequent to the acquisition of OpenBet and effective January 1, 2023, we created a fourth segment, Sports Data & Technology, to align with how our chief operating decision maker manages our businesses. As a result, we nowWe operate our business in four segments: (i) Owned Sports Properties; (ii) Events, Experiences & Rights; (iii) RepresentationRepresentation; and (iv) Sports Data & Technology. All prior period amounts related to the segment changes have been retrospectively reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Owned Sports Properties
Our Owned Sports Properties segment is comprised of a unique portfolio of premium sports and entertainment properties, including UFC, PBRWWE, Professional Bull Riders ("PBR") and Euroleague.
Through the UFC, the world’s premier professional MMA organization, we produce more than 40 live events annually which are broadcast in over 170 countries and territories to over 900975 million TV households. UFC was foundedis among the most popular sports organizations in 1993 and has grown in popularity, having now hostedthe world with more than 600 events700 million fans and reachingapproximately 260 million social media followers. UFC's content reaches a global audience through an increasing array of global broadcast license agreements and our owned FIGHT PASS streaming platform. The value of our content is demonstrated by our licensing arrangements with ESPN and other international broadcasters and our increasing consumer engagement is evidenced by the overall follower growth and engagement across our social channels.
In September 2023, we completed the transactions involving the business combination of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. ("WWE") and TKO Operating Company ("TKO OpCo"), which owns and operates UFC (the "TKO Transactions"). As part of the TKO Transactions, among other things, a new, publicly listed company, TKO Group Holdings, Inc. ("TKO"), was formed.

At the end of 2021 and in January 2022, we acquired ten Major League Baseball Professional Development League clubs (the "PDL Clubs"), which were being operated under the Diamond Baseball Holdings ("DBH") umbrella. In September 2022, we sold the DBH business, including the PDL Clubs, to Silver Lake, stockholders of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $280 million cash.

(“WWE”) to, among other things, form a new publicly traded company ("New PubCo") consisting of the UFC and WWE businesses where (A) EGH and/or its subsidiaries will hold (1) a 51.0% controlling non-economic voting interest in New PubCo and (2) a 51.0% economic interest in an operating subsidiary ("HoldCo"), which will own all of the assets of the UFC and WWE businesses, and (B) the stockholders of WWE will hold (1) a 49.0% voting interest in New PubCo and (2) a 100.0% economic interest in New PubCo, which will in turn hold a 49.0% economic interest in HoldCo (the "Transactions"). Subject to and upon closing of the Transactions, which is expected in the second half of 2023, New PubCo is expected to be included in our Owned Sports Properties segment.
Events, Experiences & Rights
In our Events, Experiences & Rights segment, we own, operate, or represent hundreds of global events annually, including live sports events covering 15 sports across more than 25 countries,globally, international fashion weeks, art fairs and music, culinary and lifestyle festivals and major attractions. We own and operate many of these events, including the Miami Open and Madrid Open, Frieze art fairs, The Armory Show, EXPO CHICAGO, Barrett-Jackson, New York Fashion Week: The Shows, and Hyde Park Winter Wonderland.

We are one of the largest independent global distributors of sports video programming and data.programming. We sell media rights globally on behalf of more than 150 clientsrights holders such as the International Olympic Committee, the ATP Tourand WTA Tours, and the National Hockey League, as well as for our owned assets and channels. Our production business is one of the largest creators of sports programming, responsible for thousands of hours of content on behalf of more than 200 federations, associations and events, including the English Premier League, Major League Soccer, The R&A, DP World Tour, and our owned asset,assets, like UFC and WWE, as well as owned channelschannel Sport 24 and EDGEsport.24.
Additionally, we previously owned and operated IMG Academy, a leading sports and education brand with an innovative suite of on-campus and online programming, including its Bradenton, Florida boarding school and sports camps, IMG Academy+ online coaching, as well as Next College Student Athlete, which provided recruiting and admissions services to high school student athletes and college athletic departments and admissions officers (collectively, the "Academy"). In June 2023, we sold all of the Academy business.
Representation
Our Representation segment provides services to more than 7,000 talent and corporate clients. Our Representation business deploys a subset of our integrated capabilities on behalf of our clients.
Through our client representation businesses, including the WME talent agency and IMG Models, we represent a diverse group of talent across entertainment, sports, and fashion, including actors, directors, writers, athletes, models, musicians, and other artists, in a variety of mediums, such as film, television, books, and live events. Through our 160over90 business, we provide brand strategy, marketing, advertising, public relations, analytics, digital, activation, and experiential services to many of the world’s largest brands. Through IMG Licensing,IMG's licensing business, we provide IPintellectual property licensing services to a large portfolio of entertainment, sports, and consumer product brands, including representing these clients in the licensing of their logos, trade names and trademarks. Additionally, we own and operate unscripted content companies, including Asylum Entertainment Group, Film 45, and Glassman.
Previously, our Representation segment included our restricted Endeavor Content business (which now operates under the name Fifth Season), which provided a premium alternative to traditional content studios, offering a range of services including content development, production, financing, sales, and advisory services for creators. In January 2022, we sold 80% of the restricted Endeavor Content business in connection with a franchise agreement and side letter that we signed directly with the Writer's Guild of America ("WGA"). Our retained 20% interest is accounted for as an equity method investment and is not part of the Representation segment.
The collective bargaining agreement between (i) the WGA, of which many of WME’s writer clients are members, on the one hand, and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (“AMPTP”), on the other hand, and (ii) the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists ("SAG-AFTRA"), of which many of WME's actor clients are members, on the one hand, and AMPTP, on the other hand, expired May 1, 2023 and June 12, 2023, respectively, without agreement on new terms. As a result, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA instructed our WGA and SAG-AFTRA member clients to strike AMPTP companies until new respective agreements are reached. As agents for these writers and actors, WME cannot negotiate for struck work on behalf of its WGA and SAG-AFTRA member clients during the duration of their respective strikes. The ultimate impact these strikes will have on our representation business as well as our financial condition and consolidated results will depend on, among other factors, their scope and duration.

Provision for Income Taxes
EGH was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in January 2019. It was formed as a holding company for the purpose of completing an IPO and other related transactions. As the sole managing member of Endeavor Manager, which is the sole managing member of EOC, EGH operates and controls all the business and affairs of EOC, and through EOC and its subsidiaries, conducts the Company’s business. EGH is subject to corporate income tax on its share of taxable income or loss of EOC, derived from Endeavor Manager. EOC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. corporate income tax. However, certain of EOC’s subsidiaries are subject to U.S. or foreign corporate income tax.
In addition, TKO, which is a consolidated subsidiary of EGH, is subject to corporate income tax.
Organization
Prior to the closing of the IPO on May 3, 2021, we undertook reorganization transactions, following which Endeavor Group Holdings became a holding company, and its principal asset is an equity interest in a newly formed subsidiary of Endeavor Group Holdings, Endeavor Manager, of which Endeavor Group Holdings serves as the managing member. Endeavor Manager is in turn the managing member of Endeavor Operating Company. Endeavor Group Holdings manages and operates the business and controls the strategic decisions and day-to-day operations of Endeavor Manager as its sole managing member, and Endeavor Operating Company as its indirect sole managing member, and also has a substantial financial interest in Endeavor Manager and, indirectly, Endeavor Operating Company. Accordingly, Endeavor Group Holdings consolidates the results of operations of Endeavor Manager and Endeavor Operating Company, and a portion of Endeavor Group Holding’s net income (loss) is allocated to non-controlling interests to reflect the entitlements of certain former members of Endeavor Operating Company who retain ownership interests in Endeavor Manager and Endeavor Operating Company.
After consummation of the IPO and the reorganization transactions, we became subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income of Endeavor Manager andOperating Company that is allocable to Endeavor Operating Company,Manager, and we are taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Endeavor Operating Company generally makes distributions to us in an amount sufficient to allow us to pay our tax obligations and operating expenses, including distributions to fund any ordinary course payments due under the tax receivable agreement ("TRA"). The Company entered into the TRA with certain persons that held direct or indirect interests in EOC and UFC Parent prior to the IPO. The TRA generally provides for the payment by EGH of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that EGH actually realizes (or is deemed to realize) as further described below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Future sources and uses of liquidity—Tax receivable agreement."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income (loss), excluding income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, merger, acquisition and earn-out costs, certain legal costs and settlements, restructuring, severance and impairment charges, certain non-cash fair value adjustments, certain equity earnings net gains on the sale of businesses, tax receivable agreement(losses), TRA liability adjustment, and certain other items, when applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it eliminates the significant level of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from our capital investments and intangible assets recognized in business combinations, and improves comparability by eliminating the significant level of interest expense associated with our debt facilities, as well as income taxes and the tax receivable agreement,TRA, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our tax and corporate structure.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used as the primary bases to evaluate our consolidated operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
31
We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered substitutes for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our financial performance, as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. Although we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because it does not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as indications that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of our most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to these non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis.

respectively.
Future sources and uses of liquidity
Our sources of liquidity are (1) cash on hand, (2) cash flows from operations, and (3) available borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities (which borrowings would be subject to certain restrictive covenants contained therein). Based on our current expectations, we believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements and to meet our commitments, including long-term debt service for at least the next 12 months.
We expect that our primary liquidity needs will be cash to (1) provide capital to facilitate organic growth of our business, (2) fund future investments, acquisitions and earn-outs and deferred purchase price payments from prior acquisitions, (3) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees, (4) fund capital expenditures, (5) fund any additional purchases or repurchases of TKO Class A common stock, (6) pay the settlement of the Zuffa class action lawsuit, (7) pay interest and principal when due on our Senior Credit Facilities, (6)(8) pay quarterly dividends as required per the Merger Agreement, (9) make payments under the tax receivable agreement, (7)TRA, (10) pay income taxes, (8)(11) make distributions to members, and (9)(12) reduce our outstanding indebtedness under our Senior Credit Facilities.
We may also useBased on our cash to effect equity repurchasescurrent expectations, we believe that the sources of our Class A common stock under our stock repurchase authorization and/or to pay cash dividends. On May 7, 2023, we approved an event-driven repurchase authorization that permits us to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $300 million, subject to and contingent upon the sale of our Academy business and the receipt of proceeds therefrom. Any such repurchases may be made at any time and from time to time in the open market, by block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as determined by the Company with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at our discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. This share repurchase authorization has no expiration and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion and does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares. We also anticipate making quarterly cash dividends of up to $25 million. The dividends would be paid from Endeavor Operating Company to its common unit holders, including EGH, which, in turn, would dividend its portion of such dividends to holders of shares of our Class A common stock. Any future declaration, amount and payment of dividendsliquidity will be atsufficient to fund our sole discretion and depend upon factors, such as our results of operations, financial condition, earnings,working capital requirements restrictions inand to meet our commitments, including long-term debt agreements and legal requirements. Although we currently intend to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, we cannot provide any assurances that any regular dividends will be paid in any specified amount orservice, for at any particular frequency, if at all.
least the next 12 months. The term loans under the Credit Facilities of $2.2 billion mature on May 18, 2025. We expect to close the Merger-Related Transactions in advance of the maturity date expiration and anticipate that these term loans will be repaid as part of the Merger-Related Transactions or we otherwise anticipate refinancing. In the event the Merger-Related Transactions do not close by the maturity date or if we are unable to refinance or otherwise extend prior to maturity, we do not expect to have sufficient cash on hand to repay these term loans under the SeniorCredit Facilities.
For the UFC Credit Facilities, we expect to refinance prior to the maturity of the outstanding loans with the firstprior to their maturity for outstanding term loans under the Senior Credit Facilities occurring in 2025.2026. We currently anticipate being able to secure funding for such refinancing at favorable terms; however, our ability to do so may be impacted by many factors, including our growth and other factors specific to our business as well as macro- economicmacro-economic factors beyond our control.
Tax distributionsDistributions by Endeavor Operating Company
Other than as described above and below, we expect to retain all our future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business.
Subject to funds being legally available we expect thatand certain exceptions, the operating agreement of Endeavor Operating Company will makegenerally provides for distributions to each of its members, including the Endeavor Profits Units holders and Endeavor Manager, in amounts sufficient to pay applicable taxes attributable to each member’s allocable share of taxable income of Endeavor Operating Company. Tax distributions made in respect of Endeavor Operating Company Units (but not Endeavor Profits Units) will generally be made pro rata in respect of such Units, as described in the Endeavor Operating Company LLC Agreement. However, in certain situations, tax distributions made to Endeavor Manager may be reduced (relative to those tax distributions made to the other members of Endeavor Operating Company) to reflect the income tax rates to which Endeavor Manager and Endeavor Group Holdings are subject and certain other factors. Non pro-rata tax distributions may be paid to holders of Endeavor Profits Units. Further, there are no assurances that Endeavor Operating Company will make distributions sufficient to cover the taxes on its members allocable share of taxable income, and in some cases, Endeavor Operating Company may not make distributions sufficient for some or all of Endeavor Operating Company’s equity holders to pay such taxes. The operating agreement of Endeavor Operating Company includes provisions that permit (at the direction of its managing member) Endeavor Operating Company to cap the tax distributions that it makes in respect of a particular period by reference to the aggregate taxable income and gain during such period and an assumed tax rate.

Tax Receivable Agreement
Generally, we are required under the tax receivable agreementTRA to make payments to certain persons that held direct or indirect interest in EOC and UFC Parent prior to the IPO ("TRA Holders") that are generally equal to 85% of the applicable cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we realize or are deemed to realize (determined by using certain assumptions) as a result of favorable tax attributes that will be available to us as a result of certain transactions contemplated in connection with our IPO, exchanges of Endeavor Operating Company Units for Class A common stock or cash and payments made under the tax receivable agreement.TRA. We will generally be entitled to retain the remaining 15% of these cash tax savings. Payments will be due only after we have filed our U.S. federal and state income tax returns. Payments under the tax receivable agreementTRA will bear interest from the due date of the tax return reflecting the applicable tax benefits. We currently expect to fund these payments from cash flows from operations generated by our subsidiaries as well as from excess tax distributions that we receive from our subsidiaries. The amounts payable under the tax receivable agreementTRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including tax rates in effect, as well as the amount, character and timing of the taxable income of EGH in the future. As of June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we had a tax receivable agreementTRA liability of $993.4$839.2 million recorded for all exchanges that have occurred as of this date.
Under the tax receivable agreement,TRA, as a result of certain types of transactions or occurrences, including a transaction resulting in a changeChange of controlControl (as defined in the TRA) or a material breach of our obligations under the tax receivable agreement,TRA, we may also be required to make payments to the TRA Holders in amounts equal to the present value of future payments we are obligated to make under the tax receivable agreement,TRA, calculated utilizing assumptions set forth in the tax receivable agreement.TRA. If the payments under the tax receivable agreementTRA are accelerated, we may be required to raise additional debt or equity to fund such payments. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the tax receivable agreementTRA as a result of having insufficient funds (including because our credit agreements restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us) such payments will generally be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.
Critical Accounting Estimates
For a description of our policies regarding our critical accounting estimates, see "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" of Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 20222023 Annual Report.

Goodwill is tested annually as of October 1 for impairment and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the floating interest component on our long-term debt. The Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at floating rates and we regularly monitor and manage interest rate risks. $2.25 billion of our Senior Credit Facilities have been swapped to fixed rates. For the remainder, holding debt levels constant as of June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, a 1% increase in the effective interest rates would have increased our annual interest expense by $28$27 million.
Foreign currency risk
We have operations in several countries outside of the United States, and certain of our operations are conducted in foreign currencies, principally the British Pound and the Euro. The value of these currencies fluctuates relative to the U.S. dollar. These changes could adversely affect the U.S. dollar equivalent of our non-U.S. dollar revenue and operating costs and expenses and reduce international demand for our content and services, all of which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in a given period or in specific territories.
Holding other variables constant (such as interest rates and debt levels), if the U.S. dollar appreciated by 10% against the foreign currencies used by our operations in the sixthree months ended June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, revenues would have decreased by approximately $66.3$26.3 million and operating incomeloss would have improved by approximately $2.2$6.4 million.
We regularly review our foreign exchange exposures that may have a material impact on our business and from time to time use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of potential adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates arising from these exposures. We do not enter into foreign exchange contracts or other derivatives for speculative purposes.
Credit risk
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with various major banks and other high-quality financial institutions, and our deposits at these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions and, in the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents or any inability to access or delays in our ability to access our funds could adversely affect our business and financial position.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
36
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2023.March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time we may be involved in claims and proceedings arising in the course of our business. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 16 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currentcurrently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described as risk factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual operating results and financial condition to vary materially from past, or anticipated future, operating results and financial condition. For a discussion of these potential risks and uncertainties, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 20222023 Annual Report and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, as supplemented by the risk factors below.Report. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and the price of our common stock. Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors to those included in our 2023 Annual Report.
Risks Related to Our Businessthe Merger
We will require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness. Our clientsability to generate cash for, make payments on or refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due depends on many factors, some of which are membersbeyond our control.
Our ability to make payments on, or to refinance our respective obligations under, our indebtedness will depend on future operating performance and on economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control. Additionally, the terms of the UFC Credit Facilities restrict the ability of the UFC subsidiaries to make distributions to us, which may limit us from using funds from the UFC subsidiaries to make payments on our indebtedness under the Credit Facilities. Our consolidated cash balance also includes cash from other consolidated non-wholly owned entities. These businesses may have restrictions in their ability to distribute cash to the rest of the Company, including under the terms of applicable operating agreements or debt agreements, which may require the approval of certain unionsof our investors and/or the governing bodies of certain of our consolidated non-wholly owned subsidiaries based on the timing and guildsamount of distribution. We cannot assure you that are signatoriesour business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to collective bargaining agreements. Any expiration, termination, revocationus in an amount sufficient to enable us to satisfy our respective obligations under our indebtedness or non-renewal of these collective bargaining agreements and any work stoppages or labor disturbances has adversely affected and willto fund our other needs. In order for us to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, we must continue to adversely affectexecute our business.business strategy. If we are unable to do so, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity.
CertainAs of March 31, 2024, we had an aggregate of $5.0 billion outstanding indebtedness under our clientsSenior Credit Facilities, of which $2.2 billion are membersterm loans scheduled to mature on May 18, 2025 (the “Term Loan Indebtedness”). We expect that the Term Loan Indebtedness then outstanding will be repaid as part of certain unions and guilds thatthe Merger-Related Transactions or otherwise anticipate refinancing. If the Merger-Related Transactions do not close when expected, if at all, or if we are signatories to collective bargaining agreements. These collective bargaining agreements and other labor agreements regularly expire and require renegotiation of their terms. Upon the expiration of any of these collective bargaining agreements, however, our clients' unions may be unable to negotiate new collective bargaining agreementsrefinance or otherwise extend the Term Loan Indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity date, we do not expect to have sufficient cash on satisfactory terms or at all. Certain ofhand to repay such unions and guilds have in the past gone on strike, and in the future may do so again. For example, the collective bargaining agreements between (i) the Writer’s Guild of America (“WGA”), ofTerm Loan Indebtedness upon maturity, which many of WME’s writer clients are members, on the one hand, and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (“AMPTP”), on the other hand, and (ii) the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists ( “SAG-AFTRA”), of which many of WME’s actor clients are members, on the one hand, and AMPTP, on the other hand, expired on May 1, 2023 and June 12, 2023, respectively, without agreement on new terms. As a result, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA instructed our WGA and SAG-AFTRA member clients to strike AMPTP companies until new respective agreements are reached. As agents for these writers and actors, WME cannot negotiate for struck work on behalf of its WGA and SAG-AFTRA member clients for the duration of their respective strikes. The outcome of these disputes and any future similar disputes with unions or guilds that represent our clients, including the commercial landscape that will exist in the future with our clients after such disputes, have had and will continue towould have an adverse effect on our business. The ultimate impact these strikes may have on our representation business, and our financial condition, and results operations will depend on, among other factors, their scope and duration, which are not currently estimable.operating results.
37
The Merger, the pendency of the Merger or our failure to complete the Merger-Related Transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.
The amendmentsAs previously disclosed, on April 2, 2024, we entered into the Merger Agreement, providing for our acquisition by affiliates of Silver Lake. Completion of the Merger is subject to the Endeavor Operatingsatisfaction of various conditions, including: (1) the information statement having been mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at least 20 calendar days having elapsed since the completion of such mailing; (2) the absence of any law enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Merger; (3) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act,and the obtainment of regulatory clearances or approvals under certain specified foreign antitrust laws or foreign investment laws; (4) the clearance or obtainment of the applicable approvals by the Company LLC Agreement that allow usEntities required by certain specified gaming authorities; (5) the accuracy of the other parties’ representations and warranties, subject to limit tax distributions that would otherwise be made could result in conflicts of interest.
On June 27, 2023, we amended the Endeavor Operating Company LLC Agreement to permit us to limit the amount of tax distributions that would otherwise be required to be paid by Endeavor Operating Company with respect to a given taxable period. As a result of (among other considerations) potential differencescertain materiality standards set forth in the amountMerger Agreement; (6) compliance in all material respects with the other parties’ covenants, agreements and obligations under the Merger Agreement; (7) no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred and being continuing since the date of net taxable income allocable to usthe Merger Agreement; and to Endeavor Operating Company’s other members(8) payment of quarterly dividends during the period between signing of the Merger Agreement and the factclosing of the Merger and, if applicable, payment of a catch-up dividend prior to closing of the Merger. There is no assurance that tax distributions made in respectall of Endeavor Operating Company Unitsthe various conditions will generally be made pro rata in respect of such Units, as describedsatisfied, or that the Merger will be completed on the proposed terms, within the expected timeframe, or at all. Furthermore, there are additional inherent risks in the Endeavor Operating Company LLCMerger, including the risks detailed below:

In each case, the shares were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This share repurchase authorization has no expiration and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion and does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our Class A common stock under this repurchase authorization.None.

Ariel Emanuel, Chief Executive Officer and Director39
Patrick Whitesell, Executive Chairman and Director
On May 31, 2023, Mr. Whitesell terminated a then-existing trading arrangement, originally adopted on March 17, 2022 and intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) (the “2022 Whitesell Trading Arrangement”). The 2022 Whitesell Trading Arrangement provided for the sale of up to 3,468,514 shares of Class A common stock with a plan end date of October 31, 2023. In connection with the termination of the 2022 Whitesell Trading Arrangement, on June 9, 2023, Mr. Whitesell entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement for the sale of up to 4,036,458 shares of Class A common stock and which has a plan end date of June 9, 2024.
On June 9, 2023, Mr. Whitesell entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, which is a sell-to-cover instruction letter (the “Whitesell Sell-to-Cover 10b5-1 Instruction”) that provides for sales of a number of shares of Class A common stock as is necessary to cover tax withholding obligations incurred in connection with the vesting or settlement of restricted stock units or restricted stock previously granted or that could in the future be granted under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan, including under any successor plan. The Whitesell Sell-to-Cover 10b5-1 Instruction will remain in effect so long as taxes are required to be paid upon the vesting or settlement of restricted stock units or restricted stock awarded or to be awarded, unless the instruction letter is earlier terminated.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, no shares of Class A common stock were sold pursuant to the Whitesell Sell-to-Cover 10b5-1 Instruction. The Whitesell Sell-to-Cover 10b5-1 Instruction replaced and superseded the sell-to-cover instruction then in effect and intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) and which applied to an equity award providing for future issuances of shares of Class A common stock upon the achievement of certain stock price milestones (and under which Mr. Whitesell had not yet earned any shares) at the time of termination.
