Release – CORRECTION — Xcel Brands, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Posted on May 14, 2026May 14, 2026 by [email protected]

NEW YORK, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a release issued earlier today by Xcel Brands, Inc (NASDAQ: XELB) please note that the “Conference Call and Webcast” section contained outdated information. The corrected release follows

Net loss on a GAAP basis was $2.5 million for the current quarter compared with $2.8 million net loss for the prior year quarter.
Year-to-Date Adjusted EBITDA for 2026 was approximately negative $0.7 million for both the current and prior year quarters.:

Xcel Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: XELB) (“Xcel” or the “Company”), a media and consumer products company with significant expertise in building influencer lead brands, live-steam shopping and social commerce, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Robert W. D’Loren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xcel commented “I am very pleased with the progress we are making with all of our new influencer led brands”.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.1 million, representing a decrease of approximately $0.2 million (-14%) from the prior year quarter. This year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to a transition to a new supplier for our interactive television business, impacting inventory availability during the early part of the quarter. Total revenue for the current quarter was consistent with total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Direct operating costs and expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million (-9%) from the prior year quarter to $2.1 million in the current quarter. Currently, the Company has reduced its direct operating expenses to an expected run rate of less than $8 million per annum.

During the quarter, the Company recognized a $0.06 million impairment charge related to the subsequent sale of the Judith Ripka brand in April, whereby the Company reclassified the Judith Ripka brand intangible assets to a current asset, assets held for sale.

Net loss attributable to Xcel Brands stockholders for the quarter was approximately $2.5 million, or $(0.42) per share, compared with net loss of $2.8 million, or $(1.18) per share, for the prior year quarter.

After adjusting certain cash and non-cash items, current quarter results on a non-GAAP basis were a net loss of approximately $1.4 million, or $(0.24) per share and a similar net loss of approximately $1.4 million, or $(0.58) per share, for the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $0.7 million for both the current and prior year quarters.

Balance Sheet

The Company’s balance sheet on March 31, 2026, reflected stockholders’ equity of approximately $13.2 million, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million. On April 27, 2026, the Company netted $2 million of cash from the sale of the Judith Ripka Brand, as previously disclosed. The Company’s balance sheet on March 31, 2026, also reflected $12.6 million of long-term debt.

The Company’s working capital on March 31, 2026 (exclusive of the current portion of lease obligations, deferred revenue, and contingent obligations payable in shares or via other non-cash means and adjusted for the April debt refinancing) was break-even. On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which the buyer has committed to purchase up to $15.0 million of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms and conditions of this agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $15.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The actual amount and timing of any sales of Common Stock will be determined by the Company at its discretion.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS are non-GAAP unaudited terms. We define non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) attributable to Xcel Brands, Inc. stockholders, exclusive of amortization of trademarks, income (loss) from equity method investments, stock-based compensation and cost of licensee warrants, asset impairment charges, and income taxes. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted EPS measures do not include the tax effect of the aforementioned adjusting items, due to the nature of these items and the Company’s tax strategy.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP unaudited measure, which we define as net income (loss) attributable to Xcel Brands, Inc. stockholders before interest and finance expenses, accretion of lease liability for exited leases, income taxes, other state and local franchise taxes, depreciation and amortization, income (loss) from equity method investments, asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation and cost of licensee warrants, and costs associated with restructuring of operations. Costs associated with restructuring of operations include operating losses generated by certain of our businesses that have been restructured or discontinued (i.e., wholesale apparel and fine jewelry), as well as non-cash charges associated with the restructuring of certain contractual arrangements.

Management uses non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to identify business trends relating to our results of operations. Management believes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA are also useful because these measures adjust for certain costs and other events that management believes are not representative of our core business operating results, and thus these non-GAAP measures provide supplemental information to assist investors in evaluating our financial results.

Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, earnings per share, or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Given that non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not deemed to be in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, our non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in our industry, because other companies may calculate these measures in a different manner than we do. In evaluating non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may or may not incur expenses similar to some of the adjustments in this document. Our presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA does not imply that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. When evaluating our performance, you should consider non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income and other GAAP results, and not rely on any single financial measure.

SKYX Platforms (SKYX) – First Look Into 1Q26 Results

Posted on May 12, 2026May 12, 2026 by [email protected]

Tuesday, May 12, 2026

Joe Gomes, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Generalist , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Overview. The first quarter of 2026 was the 9th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, with the quarter generating record revenue for the Company. SKYX is continuing its growth despite the slow new-build market that is affecting smart home, lighting, and home decor segments. This bodes well for when the markets eventually turn, in our view.

1Q26 Results. Record 1Q26 revenue of $22.1 million, up 9.8% over 1Q25 revenue of $20.1 million. Gross margin improved 160bp to 30% from 28.4% in the year-ago period. Net loss of $9.5 million was up slightly from a net loss of $9.3 million in 1Q25, driven by higher G&A expenses, although on a per share basis, net loss declined to $0.07 from $0.09. Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $3.8 million in 1Q26 compared to a negative $3.6 million last year.

Apollo Takes Emerald Holding Private at a 42% Premium to Build a B2B Events Empire — and the Timing Is No Accident

Posted on May 11, 2026May 11, 2026 by [email protected]

Apollo Global Management (NYSE: APO) announced Monday it has entered into separate definitive agreements to acquire Emerald Holding, Inc. (NYSE: EEX) and privately held Questex, LLC, with the explicit intention of combining the two businesses into a scaled North American B2B events and media platform. The Emerald deal is structured as an all-cash transaction at $5.03 per share, implying an estimated closing enterprise value of approximately $1.5 billion and representing a 42.1% premium to Emerald’s unaffected share price prior to deal speculation. Questex’s acquisition terms were not disclosed. Both transactions are expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals.

For Emerald shareholders — the vast majority of whom are represented by Onex, which controls more than 90% of the company’s outstanding shares and has already signed a support agreement — the premium is the headline. For investors trying to understand why Apollo, with over $1 trillion in assets under management, is paying up for a B2B trade show company, the more interesting question is the strategic logic.

Together, Emerald and Questex bring approximately 160 events across complementary industry verticals. Emerald has built one of the more recognized portfolios of category-leading trade exhibitions in the U.S., spanning industries from retail and licensing to safety and design. Questex operates a differentiated model built around a 365-day digital engagement layer that wraps its live events — providing year-round community access rather than the once-a-year interaction that defines most traditional trade show businesses. The combination is designed to produce a platform that generates recurring revenue and customer engagement well beyond the event floor.

The timing of this deal reflects something broader happening in the live events and B2B media space. The thesis that in-person events would be permanently diminished by digital alternatives never fully materialized post-pandemic. Instead, what has emerged is a more nuanced reality: the proliferation of digital tools and AI-driven communication has, paradoxically, elevated the perceived value of high-trust, face-to-face business interactions — particularly in industries where relationships, deals, and partnerships are made in person. Apollo’s bet is essentially that the B2B events market is structurally undervalued relative to the role these gatherings play in driving commerce, and that a consolidated, well-capitalized platform with a year-round digital backbone is worth considerably more than the sum of its parts.

Emerald had been running a strategic review process since last year, so this outcome isn’t a surprise — but the buyer and the structure are notable. Apollo is not a passive financial sponsor looking for a quick exit. The firm’s track record in media and experiential assets suggests this is a longer-horizon platform build, with Questex serving as a strategic complement that brings both digital infrastructure and a different set of industry relationships to the table.

For small-cap investors, EEX was exactly the kind of company that tends to be overlooked in public markets — a cash-generative events business with strong customer retention and a dominant position in its niches, trading at a discount to intrinsic value. The 42% premium Apollo paid is a reminder of how wide that gap can be, and why platform-building strategies in fragmented B2B markets continue to attract private equity capital.

Goldman Sachs advised Emerald. RBC Capital Markets, RAN Advisory, and PJT Partners advised Apollo.

Q3 reflects cost discipline. Fiscal Q3 revenue declined 11.6% to $293.0 million, driven by disciplined marketing spend and traffic headwinds, particularly within Consumer Floral & Gifts. Despite the top-line decline, gross margin expanded 150 basis points to 33.2%, and adjusted EBITDA improved to a loss of $(31.2) million from $(34.9) million in the prior year period, reflecting early benefits from cost initiatives and pricing discipline

Underlying segment-level profitability. While demand remains pressured, profitability improved across key segments. Consumer Floral & Gifts delivered higher contribution margins despite revenue declines, and Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets narrowed losses, reflecting better cost controls and operational efficiencies. These trends suggest that management’s focus on marketing efficiency, pricing discipline, and cost rationalization is beginning to gain traction.

Release – Shakeology by BODi Enters Retail Stores Nationwide, Marking a Major Expansion in the Company’s Nutrition-Led Strategy

Posted on May 7, 2026May 7, 2026 by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on BODI

May 7, 2026

The original protein and superfood shake will debut in retail nationwide at Sprouts Farmers Market

BODi expands national retail reach through strategic partnership with KeHE Distributors

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– BODi (NASDAQ: BODI), the proactive wellness company delivering nutrition, supplements, and proven fitness programs that help people take control of their health inside and out, today announced that its premium protein and superfood nutrition solution, Shakeology^®, will launch at more than 80 Sprouts Farmers Market locations nationwide on May 18. BODi has also secured a strategic partnership with KeHE Distributors, a national distributor focused on natural, organic, fresh, and specialty products, expanding with KeHE’s potential reach across grocery, supermarket, and online channels to more than 30,000 retail locations.

Shakeology by BODi enters retail stores nationwide, marking major expansion in the company’s nutrition-led strategy.

Originally introduced in 2009, Shakeology pioneered the protein and superfood shake category, providing a simple way to get essential nutrients from fruits and vegetables in a single 160-calorie shake. Since launch, Shakeology has generated more than $4 billion in cumulative sales through direct-to-consumer channels and has delivered more than 1 billion servings.

For the first time, consumers will find Shakeology on shelves at Sprouts nationwide in a convenient seven-serving bag, priced at $34.99 and available in four flavors:

Chocolate Whey
Chocolate Vegan
Tropical Strawberry Vegan
Vanilla Vegan

“Shakeology started as my own personal need as a better way to get real nutrition into my diet without sacrificing taste,” said Carl Daikeler, co-founder and CEO of BODi. “Expanding into retail is a natural progression, and I’m proud and excited to see it at Sprouts, making it easier for more people to access a proven, everyday nutrition solution that’s already delivered real results for millions.”

Shakeology is formulated as an all-in-one superfood and protein nutrition shake, combining high-quality protein with fiber, prebiotics and probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and more than 30 superfoods, including adaptogens, digestive enzymes, antioxidants and greens. The vegan formula delivers 16 grams of protein from a plant-based blend of peas, quinoa, rice and flax, while the whey formula provides 17 grams of protein from whey isolate and also includes the same plant-based ingredients, all in a single serving of around 160 calories when mixed with water.

The product is designed to help support energy, gut health, digestion and regularity, while promoting lean muscle, bone health and a healthy immune system. Shakeology also helps protect against free radicals and oxidative stress, reduce cravings, and support weight loss as shown in a clinical study¹ published in the Journal of Nutrition with participants who consumed Shakeology.

BODi Expands Distribution To Solidify Its Multi-Channel Growth Strategy

BODi’s strategic distribution partnership with KeHE aims to significantly increase accessibility for Shakeology, helping position the brand for rapid scale. The Shakeology launch into Sprouts, led to the partnership with KeHE, representing a critical inflection point in BODi’s retail expansion.

“We’ve seen that the strongest results come from combining effective nutrition with our proven digital fitness,” added Daikeler. “What’s changed is that nutrition has become the most efficient entry point for many people. Since the supplement market is more than 12 times the size of digital fitness, launching Shakeology into retail and partnering with KeHE gives us a new opportunity to reach millions.”

With KeHE’s expansive network and deep relationships across the natural food and wellness retail landscape, BODi is now positioned to quickly expand into new accounts and channels. As part of this strategy, BODi is also expanding its nutrition portfolio across some of its most recognizable brands, including P90X and INSANITY. In addition to the new line of P90X supplements that launched in March 2026, planned innovations include testing new energy beverages in select markets, a ready-to-drink Shakeology product, and protein bars expected to launch later this year.

Each Shakeology purchase includes free access to BODi’s digital fitness platform, reinforcing the company’s integrated approach to proactive wellness, ultimately combining daily nutrition with structured, results-driven fitness.

To locate the nearest Sprouts store, go to: www.sprouts.com/stores. Shakeology can also be purchased directly on BODi.com where it’s available in additional flavors including Café Latté and Cookies & Creamy.

¹Based on a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study published in the Journal of Nutrition.

Release – 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Results

Posted on May 7, 2026May 7, 2026 by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on FLWS

May 07, 2026

Reports Revenue of $293.0 million, a Net Loss of $100.1 million, which includes a $45.2 millionnon-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge, and an Adjusted EBITDA¹ Loss of $31.2 million

JERICHO, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), a leading provider of thoughtful expressions designed to help inspire customers to give more, connect more, and build more and better relationships, today reported results for its Fiscal 2026 third quarter ended March 29, 2026.

“During the third quarter, we continued to make meaningful progress on our strategic initiatives as we strengthen the business and position it for long-term, profitable growth,” said Adolfo Villagomez, Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered significantly improved performance across key customer experience metrics for Valentine’s Day, reflecting stronger execution and a clear focus on the customer. Importantly, we are beginning to see tangible evidence that these actions are improving performance across the business. We also made significant progress on our cost savings initiatives, achieving our previously announced two-year target ahead of plan, which reflects the discipline and execution across the organization. As we realize these savings, we are thoughtfully deploying them, including reinvesting a portion back into the business as we shift toward a more balanced approach and begin testing targeted marketing investments to support stabilization and future growth. While our work is not complete, we are encouraged by the progress we are making.”

Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Performance

Total consolidated revenues decreased 11.6% to $293.0 million, compared with the prior year period, primarily reflecting a strategic shift to improve marketing effectiveness and profitability. Consumer Floral & Gifts revenues declined 18.7%, while Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets revenues were essentially flat, benefitting from the timing of Easter. Performance in the Consumer Floral & Gifts segment reflects the more pronounced impact of prior-year inefficient marketing spend, along with ongoing changes in search engine results pages and pressure on direct traffic.
Gross profit margin increased 150 basis points to 33.2%, compared with 31.7% in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of system implementation issues in the year ago period, gross profit margin improved 10 basis points as compared with the prior year period.
Operating expenses decreased $106.6 million year-over-year to $191.9 million. Results for the current period include a $45.2 million non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge related to the Company’s Consumer Floral & Gifts segment and its Personalization Mall trademark. Excluding non-recurring charges and the impact of the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan in both periods, operating expenses decreased $16.4 million as compared with the prior year to $144.3 million, primarily due to lower marketing and labor costs.
Net loss for the quarter was $(100.1) million, or $(1.56) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $(178.2) million, or $(2.80) per share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted net loss¹ was $(49.6) million, or $(0.77) per diluted share, compared with an Adjusted net loss¹ of $(44.9) million, or $(0.71) per share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the quarter was $(31.2) million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $(34.9) million in the prior year period.

Refer to “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables attached at the end of this press release for reconciliation of non-GAAP results to applicable GAAP results.

Segment Results

The Company provides Fiscal 2026 third quarter selected financial results for its Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets, Consumer Floral & Gifts, and BloomNet® segments in the tables attached to this release and as follows:

Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets: For the quarter, revenues were $106.9 million, essentially flat compared with the prior year period. Excluding system implementation costs in the prior year period, gross profit margin increased 10 basis points to 22.6%, as cost reduction initiatives offset higher tariffs and commodity costs. The segment contribution margin¹ loss was $(15.8) million, compared with $(22.3) million in the prior year period, excluding severance and system implementation costs.
Consumer Floral & Gifts: For the quarter, revenues declined 18.7% to $159.4 million, as compared with the prior year period. Gross profit margin increased 120 basis points from the prior year period to 38.0%, reflecting improved pricing discipline, more targeted promotional activity, and better alignment between florist-fulfilled and direct shipment offerings, partially offset by higher tariffs. The segment contribution margin¹was $10.4 million, compared with $6.5 million in the prior year period, excluding severance and impairment costs.
BloomNet: For the quarter, revenues decreased 5.9% to $26.9 million, as compared with the prior year period. Gross profit margin declined 50 basis points from the prior year period to 46.4%. The segment contribution margin¹ was $7.5 million, compared with $8.5 million in the prior year period, excluding severance costs.

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

The Company continues to view Fiscal 2026 as a foundational year focused on stabilizing the business, improving execution, and building a stronger platform for long-term growth through its strategic priorities, including enhancing its customer-first approach, expanding third-party distribution, improving marketing efficiency, and driving structural cost savings. These actions are strengthening the foundation for sustainable revenue and profit growth over time.

For Fiscal Year 2026, the Company expects revenue to decline by approximately 10% to 12% as compared with the prior year and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately breakeven, within a range of plus or minus $2 million, which includes approximately $22 million of anticipated incentive compensation and consultant costs incurred during the fiscal year. These expectations reflect the continued impact of a more disciplined marketing strategy, changes in search engine results pages affecting organic traffic, and the ongoing transition toward a more efficient demand-generation model.

Conference Call

The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss its financial results today, May 7, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. (ET). The conference call will be webcast from the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.1800flowersinc.com. A recording of the call will be posted on the Investors section of the Company’s website within two hours of the call’s completion.

Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We sometimes use financial measures derived from consolidated financial information, but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this document are either labeled as “non-GAAP,” “adjusted” or designated as such with a “1”. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures. Where applicable, see the Selected Financial Information below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations for forward-looking figures would require unreasonable efforts at this time because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of certain components of various necessary GAAP components, including, for example, those related to compensation, tax items, amortization or others that may arise during the year, and the Company’s management believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The lack of such reconciling information should be considered when assessing the impact of such disclosures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation, Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC”) investment appreciation/depreciation, and for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were calculated for each period presented. The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it considers such information meaningful supplemental measures of its performance and believes such information is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as factors to determine the total amount of incentive compensation available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. The Company’s credit agreement uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-related items to determine its interest rate and to measure compliance with certain covenants. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (a) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; (b) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company’s performance.

Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin:

We define Segment Contribution Margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is defined as Segment Contribution Margin adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin were calculated for each period presented. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin provide management and users of the financial statements meaningful information about the performance of our business segments. Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is that they are an incomplete measure of profitability as they do not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for this limitation when using these measures by looking at other GAAP measures, such as Operating Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss).

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share as Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information below for details on how Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share were calculated for each period presented. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results. Since these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Free Cash Flow:

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company considers Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of fixed assets, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the Company’s business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet, and repurchase stock or retire debt. Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure that is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. Since Free Cash Flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. A limitation of the utility of Free Cash Flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company’s cash balance for the period.

Lucky Strike Entertainment (LUCK) – Cost Discipline and Consumer Resilience Set Stage for 2027 Upside

Posted on May 7, 2026May 7, 2026 by [email protected]

Thursday, May 07, 2026

Michael Kupinski, Director of Research, Equity Research Analyst, Digital, Media & Technology , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Jacob Mutchler, Research Associate, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Lackluster fiscal Q3. The company reported revenue of $342.2 million, representing a 0.7% increase over the prior year, with same-store sales up 0.2%, marking a second consecutive quarter of positive comps. Net income improved year-over-year, while adjusted EBITDA of $109.0 million declined from the prior year, reflecting margin pressure. Profitability was impacted by elevated payroll costs and macro-related demand softness during the quarter.

Consumer resiliency. Performance was affected by weather disruptions and weaker corporate demand, particularly in tech-heavy West Coast markets. However, retail and league segments remained resilient, with leagues continuing to generate low single-digit growth and retail trends stabilizing. Importantly, management indicated that trends improved as the quarter ended, with early signs of stabilization observed in April.
