HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
TKO Transaction
On September 12, 2023, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. ("WWE") and Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. ("Endeavor") consummated the combination of the Ultimate Fighting Championship ("UFC") and WWE businesses (the "business combination") under the newly formed company, TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (the "Company").
Purpose of Historical Financial Information
The presentation of the historical information provided herein for periods prior to October 1, 2023 is for illustrative purposes only and is intended to facilitate an understanding of UFC's and WWE’s historical operating results prior to the consummation of the business combination.
The financial information provided herein for periods prior to October 1, 2023 is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2022, nor is it indicative of future results of the combined Company. The financial information does not include any pro forma or other adjustments for costs related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that have been or may be achieved by the business combination.
Reporting Segments
In conjunction with the combination of UFC and WWE, the Company evaluated its segment presentation and, beginning with the fiscal period as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company reports under two business segments (UFC and WWE). In addition, the Company reports the results for the "Corporate" group.
· | UFC |
The UFC segment reflects the business operations of UFC, a premium global sports brand and media content company. Revenue principally consists of media rights fees associated with the distribution of its programming content; ticket sales and site fees associated with the business’s global live events; sponsorships; and consumer product licensing agreements of UFC branded products.
1
· | WWE |
The WWE segment reflects the business operations of WWE, an integrated media and sports entertainment company. Revenue principally consists of media rights fees associated with the distribution of its programming content; ticket sales and site fees associated with the business’s global live events; sponsorships; and consumer product licensing agreements of WWE branded products.
· | Corporate |
Corporate reflects operations not allocated to the UFC or WWE segments and primarily consists of general and administrative expenses. These expenses largely relate to corporate activities, including information technology, facilities, legal, human resources, finance, accounting, treasury, investor relations, corporate communications, community relations and compensation to TKO’s management and board of directors, which support both reportable segments. Corporate expenses also include service fees paid by the Company to Endeavor under a services agreement, inclusive of fees paid for revenue producing services related to the segments.

(2) | Under the legacy business segment financial reporting for WWE, revenue associated with certain large-scale international events was allocated principally to the Media segment.

This reclassification has no impact on total revenue for the WWE segment. 3
