Purchases real estate. The company announced that it purchased the real estate of 58 existing bowling centers for $306 million from Carlyle Group, its main sale leaseback partner. The real estate is located in California, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, and Colorado. With the purchase, the company now owns roughly 75 of its over 350 bowling centers.

Financing set. The company amended its existing credit facility to provide a bridge loan of $230 million towards the purchase. Cash was used for the remaining purchase amount. We believe that the company will reduce the bridge loan over the course of the next year through free cash flow generation.

Release – Lucky Strike Entertainment Unlocks Long-Term Value with $306 Million Acquisition of Real Estate at 58 Existing Locations

Posted on July 10, 2025July 11, 2025 by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Lucky Strike Entertainment (NYSE: LUCK), one of the world’s premier Owner/Operators of location-based entertainment, has taken a major step forward in its long-term growth strategy with the acquisition of the real estate underlying 58 locations. Lucky Strike is the current operator of each location and will remain so following the close of the transaction. The $306 million acquisition transforms the Company’s cost structure by reducing annual rent obligations and unlocking powerful financial and operational flexibility. Previously leased, these high-traffic locations generated approximately $80 million in annualized EBITDAR against $21 million in rent obligations (subject to 15% escalations every five years). By transitioning from renter to owner on existing Company venues, Lucky Strike captures immediate value, eliminates future lease inflation risk, and strengthens control over strategic assets in key markets.

“By acquiring the real estate underlying these 58 existing locations, we maximize our flexibility to optimize our capital structure and location footprint,” said Bobby Lavan, Chief Financial Officer. “As we continue to make progress in our business, this transaction provides incremental opportunities to drive deleveraging in the short and medium term. The purchase price highlights the long-term attractiveness of the stable and growing cash flows of our individual locations. The transaction is immediately accretive to earnings and cash flow and positions us to continue reinvesting in our most profitable venues and initiatives.”

The acquisition was financed through a $230 million bridge facility, availability under Lucky Strike’s revolving credit line, and cash on hand. The transaction is expected to be deleveraging and demonstrates a disciplined capital deployment strategy with a focus on high-ROI outcomes that increase optionality.

Spanning 16 states, the 58-property portfolio includes prime locations in California, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, and Colorado—markets where the Company has a demonstrated track record of operational excellence and strong customer demand. Transitioning to full ownership of these properties enables Lucky Strike to further optimize its earnings base on a granular, market-by-market basis, while providing a foundation for long-term strategic growth and enhanced capital allocation.

This transaction reflects Lucky Strike’s continued momentum, strong balance sheet, and commitment to creating enduring value for its shareholders.

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

Compelling station swap. Scripps will be selling its stations in Lansing MI and Lafayette LA to Gray Television (GTN: Not Rated) and buying stations in Colorado Springs, CO and Grand Junction, CO and a station in Twin Falls ID. We view the move favorably, given that Scripps will create station duopolies and strengthen its presence in the West. We believe that the move will create significant efficiencies for both companies, eliminating back office, duplicative, and overhead costs. This will be an even swap with no cash compensation to either party.

FCC fast track? The FCC has signaled its willingness to fast track the regulatory process, likely to provide a “waiver” to create duopolies rather than to seek a longer review/rulemaking process. As such, we believe that the transaction could be completed by year end.

CULVER CITY, Calif., July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) (“Snail Games” or the “Company”), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, announced the launch of two new indie titles, Robots at Midnight and Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship, in the month of June. These releases mark a strategic expansion into distinct game and player demographics, showcasing Snail’s ongoing commitment to fostering creativity and innovation across its global portfolio.

Robots at Midnight, developed by Toronto based studio Finish Line Games, represents Snail Games’ strategic entry into a younger segment of the gaming market. Designed as an accessible, entry-level Souls-like game, it introduces the genre’s core mechanics in a more user-friendly format, lowering the barrier to entry for wider appeal. The game specifically targets the younger Gen Z and Gen Alpha players who are just beginning to engage with more complex gameplay experiences. Backed in part by Canada Media Fund, the game is led by studio co-founder Daniel Posner, whose background in education and interactive media bridges entertainment and learning. To celebrate the launch of Robots at Midnight and the 2.1M+ viewer minutes watched on Twitch, the team is hosting a community event where players can win DIY robot kits encouraging real world creativity inspired by in-game exploration. For Snail Games, its investment in games like Robots at Midnight is a long-term strategy to captivate the next generation of gamers and creators. With Gen Alpha projected to become the most digitally fluent and commercially influential generation to date, early engagement aims to build brand loyalty and position the Company to meet the future demands of an evolving global market.

Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship, developed by Zing Games, comes from a seasoned studio with a track record of success; its previous titles, including the predecessor Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes, have collectively surpassed 10 million downloads. The latest installment in the Zombie Rollerz franchise blends fast-paced roguelite mechanics with tower defense survival strategy to deliver a highly replayable, content-rich experience. With a positive Steam rating at launch and a distinctive visual style that appeals to casual and core gamers alike, Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship demonstrates the strength of Zing Games’ IP and Snail’s ability to identify and scale high-performing indie titles.

Together, Robots at Midnight and Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship exemplifies Snail Games’ strategic focus on widening its portfolio and deepening market penetration across multiple player segments. By introducing accessible gameplay in an underserved genre to engage Gen Alpha players and scaling emerging IPs, Snail is actively expanding its presence across diverse markets. These launches reflect a deliberate approach to portfolio diversification – one that balances genre innovation, long-term revenue opportunities, and global audience growth as Snail continues to evolve and embrace the next-generation of interactive entertainment.

(Nasdaq: SNAL) (“Snail Games” or the “Company”), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, celebrates the ARK franchise’s 10-year anniversary with strong June 2025 sales momentum across ARK: Survival Evolved (“ASE”) and it launches targeted marketing strategy to drive engagement for the upcoming ARK: Aquatica DLC.

Following the recent Snail Steam Publisher Sale, ARK: Survival Evolved saw a sharp resurgence in player engagement and sales, with over 3.8x total units sold and average daily sales increasing by 3,022% during Snail’s Steam Publisher Sale compared to prior months in 2025. Concurrent players peaked at 65,885, underscoring the franchise’s enduring global community engagement even a decade after its original debut. These results reflect not only the franchise’s lasting popularity and staying power, but also Snail Games’ ongoing commitment to sustaining player engagement through consistent content updates and releases.

Snail Games co-CEO Tony Tian commented: “As we celebrate 10 years of ARK and set the stage for ARK: Aquatica’s release, we are embracing the intersection of gaming and entertainment to reach new fans wherever they are and drive long-term value for the franchise. The success of ASE continues to serve as a foundation for future growth, and with a highly engaged community and strong performance benchmarks, we expect ARK: Aquatica to capitalize on this momentum upon release.”

As part of a larger marketing and media strategy, Snail Games broadcasted an ARK: Aquatica ad during the pre-show of How to Train Your Dragon live action remake, which opened to approximately $83.7 million at the domestic box office. This high-visibility media placement underscores Snail’s commitment to positioning ARK at the intersection of gaming and mainstream entertainment. Further reinforcing this vision, Snail also launched the official Steam page for “On My Way,” a standalone track created in collaboration with Luminati Suns for the ARK: Aquatica DLC.
