Lackluster Q3 Results. The company reported Q3 revenue of $339.9 million and adj. EBITDA of $117.3 million, both of which were lower than our estimates of $360.0 million and $130 million, respectively. Notably, the soft results were largely driven by a decrease in corporate events in California and Seattle and partially offset by a high single-digit increase in food sales and stable retail and league business. While Q3 results were lackluster, we believe the company will gain momentum heading into the summer.

Pulls guidance. While the company did not provide guidance due to economic uncertainty, we believe that the company will demonstrate solid results in the coming quarters, supported by recent acquisitions, new centers, and strong sales in its Summer Season Pass program. Importantly, management highlighted its focus on expense management, with capital expenditures down 20% year to date, which is expected to continue into next year.
