THE MARCUS CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE 13 AND 39 WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 2024
(in thousands, except share and per share data)


1. General
Basis of Presentation - The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024 and September 28, 2023 have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited interim financial information at September 26, 2024, and for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations during the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or other interim periods. However, the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2023.
Accounting Policies - Refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (including footnotes) for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, for a description of the Company’s accounting policies.
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or any related lease terms. Depreciation expense totaled $17,277 and $49,992 for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, respectively, and $19,150 and $51,004 for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2023, respectively.
Assets Held for Sale – Long-lived assets that are expected to be sold within the next 12 months and meet the other relevant held-for-sale criteria are classified as assets held for sale and included within current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less costs to sell the asset.
Long-Lived Assets – The Company periodically considers whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets held for use are present. This includes quantitative and qualitative factors, including evaluating the historical actual operating performance of the long-lived assets and assessing the potential impact of recent events and transactions impacting the long-lived assets. If such indicators are present, the Company determines if the long-lived assets are recoverable by assessing whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If the long-lived assets are not recoverable, the Company recognizes any impairment losses based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value.
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at one asset group for a leased theatre location that the Company made the decision to close during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. As such, the Company evaluated the fair value of these assets, consisting primarily of land improvements, leasehold improvements, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets less lease obligations, and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (using estimated discounted cash flows over the life of the primary asset), was less than their carrying values and recorded a $472 impairment loss, reducing certain property and equipment and certain operating lease net obligations. The remaining net book value of the impaired assets as of the date of the asset write-down (June 27, 2024) was $0.
During the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2023, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at one theatre asset group. As such, the Company evaluated the fair value of these assets, consisting primarily of land, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (using estimated discounted cash flows over the life of the primary asset, including estimated sales proceeds) was less than their carrying values and recorded a $684 impairment loss, reducing certain property and equipment assets. The remaining net book value of the impaired assets as of the date of the asset write-down (September 28, 2023) was $3,040.
Goodwill – The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise. The Company performs its annual impairment test on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024 or September 28, 2023.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Net earnings (loss) per share (EPS) of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is computed using the two class method. Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and convertible debt instruments using the if-converted method. Convertible Class B Common Stock and convertible debt instruments are reflected on an if-converted basis when dilutive to Common Stock. The computation of the diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Common Stock assumes the conversion of Class B Common Stock in periods that have net earnings since it would be dilutive to Common Stock earnings per share, while the diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Class B Common Stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to cash dividends per share equal to 110% of all dividends declared and paid on each share of Class B Common Stock. As such, the undistributed earnings (losses) for each period are allocated based on the proportionate share of entitled cash dividends.
The following table illustrates the computation of Common Stock basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share, provides a reconciliation of the number of weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding, when applicable, and provides the weighted-average number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding:

For the periods when the Company reports a net loss, common stock equivalents, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and shares related to the convertible senior notes are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Performance stock units are considered anti-dilutive if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares are contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Shares related to the convertible senior notes are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods when the effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.

Fair Value Measurements - Certain financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Some are measured on a recurring basis while others are measured on a non-recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. A fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in one of the following categories:
Level 1 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date. At September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $7,332 and $5,364 respectively, of debt and equity securities classified as trading were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in other current assets. At September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $15,014 and $37,018, respectively, of investments in money market funds were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in cash and cash equivalents.
Level 2 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on pricing inputs that were either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. At each of September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, none of the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities were measured using Level 2 pricing inputs.
Level 3 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which result in the use of management estimates. At each of September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, none of the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair market value were valued using Level 3 pricing inputs. Assets that are measured on a non-recurring basis are discussed above under Long-Lived Assets.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable) approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s $160,000 of senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $160,917 at September 26, 2024, determined based upon discounted cash flows using current market interest rates for financial instruments with a similar average remaining life. The fair value of the Company's $13,649 of convertible senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $20,183 at September 26, 2024, determined based on market rates and the closing trading price of the convertible senior notes as of September 26, 2024. The carrying amounts of the Company’s remaining long-term debt approximate their fair values, determined using current rates for similar instruments, or Level 2 pricing inputs.

Long-term debt$162,633 $159,548 
Credit Agreement
As of September 26, 2024, the Company has a Credit Agreement that provides for a revolving credit facility that matures on October 16, 2028 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $225,000. At September 26, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility, which when borrowed, bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus a margin (as discussed further below), effectively 6.60% at September 26, 2024. Availability under the $225,000 revolving credit facility was $220,185 as of September 26, 2024 after taking into consideration outstanding letters of credit that reduce revolver availability.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) the term SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, subject to a 0% floor, plus a specified margin based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio as of the most recent determination date, or (ii) the alternate base rate (“ABR”) (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the greater of the federal funds rate and the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%), subject to a 1% floor, plus a specified margin based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio as of the most recent determination date. The revolving credit facility also requires an annual facility fee equal to 0.175% to 0.275% of the total revolving commitments depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement includes, among other restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company, a requirement that the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio not exceed 3.50:1.00, provided that, with some limitations, such ratio may be increased to 4.00:1:00 for the full fiscal quarter in which a material acquisition (in which aggregate consideration equals or

exceeds $30,000) is consummated and the three fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, and a requirement that the Company’s interest coverage ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter not be less than 3.00:1.00.
In connection with the Credit Agreement: (i) the Company has pledged, subject to certain exceptions, security interests and liens in and on (a) substantially all of its respective personal property assets and (b) certain of its respective real property assets, in each case, to secure the Credit Agreement and related obligations; and (ii) certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then, among other things, the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise rights and remedies against the pledged collateral.
Note Purchase Agreements
At September 26, 2024, the Company’s $160,000 of senior notes consisted of three Note Purchase Agreements maturing in 2025 through 2034, which require annual principal payments in varying installments and bear interest payable semi-annually at fixed rates ranging from 4.02% to 7.02%. The weighted average fixed rate of the $160,000 senior notes was 5.94% as of September 26, 2024.
During the 13 weeks ended September 26, 2024, on July 9, 2024, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement with several purchasers party to the agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $100,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes in two tranches: (i) $60,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.89% Series 2024 Senior Notes, Tranche A due July 9, 2031 (the “Tranche A Notes”) and (ii) $40,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.02% Series 2024 Senior Notes, Tranche B due July 9, 2034 (the “Tranche B Notes” and, collectively with the Tranche A Notes, the “2024 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds were used to refinance the Convertible Notes Repurchases of $99,901 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes (see below) and for general corporate purposes.
Interest on the 2024 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on the 9th day of January and July each year, commencing on January 9, 2025, and on the applicable maturity date. The Tranche A Notes require annual principal amortization payments beginning in fiscal 2027 with a final maturity in fiscal 2031. The Tranche B Notes require annual principal amortization payments beginning in fiscal 2028 with a final maturity in fiscal 2034. The Master Note Purchase Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are consistent with the restrictions, covenants and collateral provisions in the Company’s existing Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreements.
Convertible Senior Notes
On September 17, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to issue and sell $100,050 aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes.”) The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated September 22, 2020, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
The Convertible Notes bear interest from September 22, 2020 at a rate of 5.00% per year. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes may bear additional interest under specified circumstances relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations under the Indenture or if the Convertible Notes are not freely tradeable as required by the Indenture. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Prior to March 15, 2025, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances: (i) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2020 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after March 15, 2025, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof. The initial conversion rate was 90.8038 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.01 per share of Common Stock), representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 22.5% to the $8.99 last reported sale price of the Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2020. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events, including distributions and dividends paid to holders of Common Stock. At September 26, 2024, the applicable conversion rate is 94.3588 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an applicable conversion price of approximately $10.60 per share of Common Stock). The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes before maturity and no “sinking fund” is provided for the Convertible Notes.
Since the Company’s fiscal 2021 second quarter through the Company’s fiscal 2024 second quarter, the Company’s Convertible Notes were eligible for conversion at the option of the holders as the last reported sale price of the Common Stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the last 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. During the Company’s fiscal 2024 third quarter the Convertible Notes were not eligible for conversion at the option of the holders as the last reported sale price of the Common Stock was not greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the last 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. The Company has the ability to settle the conversion in Company stock. The Convertible Notes are eligible for conversion at the option of the holders during the Company’s fiscal 2024 fourth quarter.
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes on September 17, 2020, and in connection with the exercise by the Initial Purchasers (as defined in the Convertible Notes purchase agreement) of their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes on September 18, 2020, the Company entered into privately negotiated Capped Call Transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution of the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes. If, however, the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially $17.98 per share (in no event shall the cap price be less than the strike price of $11.0128), which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Common Stock of $8.99 per share on The New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2020. Under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, the cap price is subject to adjustment for certain events, including distributions and dividends paid to holders of Common Stock. At September 26, 2024, the adjusted cap price is approximately $17.30 per share. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not change the rights of holders of the Convertible Notes under the Convertible Notes and the Indenture.
Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain holders of its Convertible Notes. Under the terms of the Purchase

Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange $99,901 in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for cash consideration of $121,511 (or $103,314 net of the cash received by the Company in connection with the unwind of a portion of the Capped Call Transactions as discussed below) effected over three separate repurchase tranches (the “Convertible Notes Repurchases”). On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into the first repurchase transaction to retire $40,000 of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $45,879 in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into the second repurchase transaction to retire $46,401 of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $55,208 in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024. On September 19, 2024, the Company entered into the third repurchase transaction to retire $13,500 of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $20,424 in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal fourth quarter on October 11, 2024. Following settlement of the Convertible Note Repurchases on October 11, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding was $149. During the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company incurred debt conversion expense of $1,410 and $15,318, respectively, in connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases.
In connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases, the Company entered into unwind agreements with the Capped Call Counterparties to terminate a portion of the Capped Call Transactions equal to the notional amounts of the Convertible Notes Repurchases, and for the Company to receive aggregate cash of $18,197 effected over three separate unwind tranches. On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into the first tranche of unwind agreements and received $5,770 in cash consideration with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into the second tranche of unwind agreements and received $7,460 in cash consideration at settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024. On September 19, 2024, the Company entered into the third tranche of unwind agreements and received $4,967 in cash consideration at settlement occurring during the fiscal fourth quarter on October 11, 2024.
3. Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a finance lease or an operating lease according to Accounting Standards Codification No. 842, Leases. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. The Company leases real estate and equipment with lease terms of one year to 45 years, some of which include options to extend and/or terminate the lease.
The majority of the Company’s lease agreements include fixed rental payments. For those leases with variable payments based on increases in an index subsequent to lease commencement, such payments are recognized as variable lease expense as they occur. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, including those that depend on the Company’s performance or use of the underlying asset, are also expensed as incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

4. Share Based Compensation
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company granted restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs) to certain executives and associates.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company granted (i) an annual award of restricted stock and RSUs with a vesting period of 50% after two years and 100% after three years, and (ii) a special long-term incentive and retention award of restricted stock to certain executives with a vesting period of 100% after four years, or upon retirement after three years. Restricted stock awards are issued and outstanding common stock at the time of the grant and become unrestricted upon the vesting date. RSU awards are payable in common stock upon vesting. The Company expenses the cost of restricted stock and RSU awards over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant.

Performance Stock Units
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company granted PSUs with vesting subject to the Company’s achievement of performance goals expressed in terms of (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, growth rate ranking relative to the Russell 2000 Index with respect to 25% of the total number of performance stock unit awards, and (ii) the Company’s average return on invested capital, or ROIC, ranking relative to the Russell 2000 Index with respect to 75% of the total number of performance stock unit awards. For grants awarded in fiscal 2024, the PSU performance goals relate to the three-year performance period from fiscal 2024-2026. PSUs are payable at the end of their respective performance period in common stock, and the number of PSUs awarded can range from zero to 150% depending on the Company’s achievement of the relative performance metrics. The Company expenses the cost of PSUs based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant and the estimated achievement of the performance metric, ratable over the performance period of three fiscal years.

Share-based compensation expense was $2,225 and $7,157, respectively, during the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, and $1,313 and $5,000, respectively, during the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2023. As of September 26, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to stock options was $1,909, which will be amortized to expense over the weighted-average remaining life of 1.9 years. As of September 26, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs was $6,645, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 2.9 years.
At September 26, 2024, there were 117,441 shares available for grants of additional stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, PSUs and other types of equity awards under the current plan.
5. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024 was 18.9% and (74.9)%, respectively, and 32.4% and 30.5% for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2023, respectively. The fiscal 2024 first three quarters effective income tax rate was negatively impacted by a nondeductible debt conversion expense resulting from the Convertible Notes Repurchases and a $1,217 reduction in deferred tax assets resulting from the related termination of the Capped Call Transactions and excess compensation subject to deduction limitations.
6. Joint Venture Transactions
In March 2024, the Company formed a joint venture with Hempel Real Estate (“Hempel”) and Robinson Park (“RP”) to acquire the Loews Minneapolis Hotel, a 251 guest room and suite full-service lifestyle hotel located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The acquired hotel was rebranded as The Lofton Hotel (“Lofton”) under the Tapestry Collection by Hilton flag. The Company invested $5,620 for a 33.3% equity interest in the Lofton joint venture and entered into a management agreement for the hotel. Subsequent to its initial investment in the joint venture, the Company sold an 8.6% interest to a minority investor for $1,500, reducing its equity interest in the Lofton joint venture to 24.7%. The Company accounts for its investment in the Lofton joint venture on the equity method.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lofton joint venture entity, as the borrower, financed the acquisition of and future improvements to the hotel with a mortgage loan. In connection with this mortgage loan, the Company provided an environmental indemnity and a several payment guaranty that provides that the lender can recover losses from the Company, a principal in Hempel, and a principal in RP for certain events of default of the borrower up to $6,200 for the Company. Under the terms of a cross-indemnity agreement among the guarantors, the other two guarantors have fully indemnified the Company under the guarantees for any losses in excess of its proportionate liability under the several payment guaranty and environmental indemnity.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis, are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified as such because the context of such statements include words such as we “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ materially from those expected, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the adverse effects future pandemics or epidemics may have on our theatre and hotels and resorts businesses, results of operations, liquidity, cash flows, financial condition, access to credit markets and ability to service our existing and future indebtedness; (2) the availability, in terms of both quantity and audience appeal, of motion pictures for our theatre division (including disruptions in the production of films due to events such as a strike by actors, writers or directors or future pandemics); (3) the effects of theatre industry dynamics such as the maintenance of a suitable window between the date such motion pictures are released in theatres and the date they are released to other distribution channels; (4) the effects of adverse economic conditions in our markets; (5) the effects of adverse economic conditions on our ability to obtain financing on reasonable and acceptable terms, if at all; (6) the effects on our occupancy and room rates caused by the relative industry supply of available rooms at comparable lodging facilities in our markets; (7) the effects of competitive conditions in our markets; (8) our ability to achieve expected benefits and performance from our strategic initiatives and acquisitions; (9) the effects of increasing depreciation expenses, reduced operating profits during major property renovations, impairment losses, and preopening and start-up costs due to the capital intensive nature of our business; (10) the effects of changes in the availability of and cost of labor and other supplies essential to the operation of our business; (11) the effects of weather conditions, particularly during the winter in the Midwest and in our other markets; (12) our ability to identify properties to acquire, develop and/or manage and the continuing availability of funds for such development; (13) the adverse impact on business and consumer spending on travel, leisure and entertainment resulting from terrorist attacks in the United States or other incidents of violence in public venues such as hotels and movie theatres; and (14) a disruption in our business and reputational and economic risks associated with civil securities claims brought by shareholders. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are based upon our assumptions, which are based upon currently available information. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
We report our consolidated and individual segment results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Thursday in December. Fiscal 2024 is a 52-week year beginning on December 29, 2023 and ending on December 26, 2024. Fiscal 2023 was a 52-week year that began on December 30, 2022 and ended on December 28, 2023.
We divide our fiscal year into three 13-week quarters and a final quarter consisting of 13 or 14 weeks. The third quarter of fiscal 2024 consisted of the 13-week period beginning on June 28, 2024 and ended on September 26, 2024. The third quarter of fiscal 2023 consisted of the 13-week period beginning June 30, 2023 and ended on September 28, 2023. Our primary operations are reported in the following two business segments: movie theatres and hotels and resorts. Within this MD&A, amounts for totals, subtotals, and variances may not recalculate exactly within tables due to rounding as they are calculated using the unrounded numbers.

Overall Results
The following table sets forth revenues, operating income, other income (expense), net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted common share for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 (in millions, except for per share and variance percentage data):

Revenues increased during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 due to increased revenues from both our theatre division and hotels and resorts division. Revenues decreased during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 due to a decrease in revenues from our theatre division, partially offset by increased revenues from our hotels and resorts division.
Operating income increased during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 due to increased operating income from both our theatre division and hotels and resorts division, partially offset by an increase in corporate operating losses. Operating income decreased during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 primarily due to a decrease in operating income from our theatre division and an increase in corporate operating losses, partially offset by increased operating income from our hotels and resorts division.
Net earnings and net earnings per diluted common share increased during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 due to increased operating income and investment income, partially offset by the impact of debt conversion expense. Net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted common share decreased during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 due to decreased operating income and the impact of debt conversion expense, partially offset by increased investment income and lower interest expense.
Other income (expense) during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 were negatively impacted by debt conversion expense of $1.4 million and $15.3 million, respectively, in connection with the $99.9 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes Repurchases. See Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A for further discussion.
We recognized investment income of $0.8 million and $1.7 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $1.1 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively. Variations in investment income were due to changes in the value of marketable securities.
Our interest expense totaled $3.1 million and $8.2 million for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, respectively, compared to $2.9 million and $9.0 million for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively. The decrease in interest expense during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to decreased borrowings and a decrease in non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. Changes in our borrowing levels due to variations in our operating results, capital expenditures, acquisition opportunities (or the lack thereof) and asset sale proceeds, among other items, may impact, either favorably or unfavorably, our actual reported interest expense in future periods, as may changes in short-term interest rates.
We reported income tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 of $5.4 million compared to income tax expense of $5.9 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. We reported income tax expense for the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 of $3.8 million compared to income tax expense of $7.1 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. Our fiscal 2024 first three quarters effective income tax rate was (74.9)%, and was negatively impacted by nondeductible debt conversion expense resulting from the Convertible Notes Repurchases and a $1.2 million reduction in deferred tax assets resulting from the related termination of the Capped Call Transactions (combined negative impact of approximately 108
17
percentage points) and excess compensation subject to deduction limitations. Our fiscal 2023 first three quarters effective income tax rate was 30.5%. We anticipate that our effective income tax rate for fiscal 2024 may be in the (200)% to (210)% range, which includes an estimated negative impact of approximately 240 percentage points from the Convertible Notes Repurchases and termination of the Capped Call Transactions, and excludes any potential changes in federal or state income tax rates, valuation allowance adjustments or other one-time tax benefits. Our actual fiscal 2024 effective income tax rate may be different from our estimated quarterly rates depending upon actual facts and circumstances.

Our theatre division revenues and operating income increased with stronger performances from blockbuster films during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, our theatre division revenues and operating income decreased compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, driven by a weaker film slate in the first half of fiscal 2024, partially offset by an increase in film performance in the third quarter. The film slate in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 was negatively impacted by the content supply chain disruption from the shutdown of movie production during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA labor strikes in 2023, which contributed to a weaker slate of available films, particularly in the first half of fiscal 2024, compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, resulting in decreased theatre attendance.
The following table provides a further breakdown of the components of revenues for the theatre division for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 (in millions, except for variance percentage):

According to data received from Comscore (a national box office reporting service for the theatre industry) and compiled by us to evaluate our fiscal 2024 third quarter and first three quarters results, U.S. box office receipts increased 3.8% during our fiscal 2024 third quarter compared to the same comparable weeks in fiscal 2023, indicating that our increase of 9.5% in admission revenues for comparable theatres (excluding theatres closed during the past year) during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 outperformed the industry by 5.7 percentage points. We believe our over-performance is attributable to a favorable film mix during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 that included Deadpool & Wolverine, Despicable Me 4, Twisters, Inside Out 2, and It Ends with Us, that was more appealing to audiences in our Midwestern markets. Additionally, we believe changes to our Value Tuesday program made during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, including reintroducing free complimentary-sized popcorn for Magical Movie Reward (MMR) members on Tuesdays, have positively contributed to our outperformance.
Data received and complied by us from Comscore also indicates U.S. box office receipts decreased 11.0% during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the same comparable weeks in fiscal 2023, indicating that our decrease of 11.3% in admission revenues for comparable theatres (excluding theatres closed during the past year) during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 underperformed the industry by 0.3 percentage points. We believe the slight underperformance during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 is due to an unfavorable film mix primarily during the first half of fiscal 2024
18
that was more appealing to audiences in other parts of the U.S. than in our Midwestern markets compared to a favorable film mix during the first half of fiscal 2023, partially offset by a favorable film slate and increased performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
Additional data received and compiled by us from Comscore indicates our admission revenues at comparable theatres during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 represented approximately 3.1% and 3.0%, respectively, of the total admission revenues in the U.S. (commonly referred to as market share in our industry), compared to 2.9% and 3.1% during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively. Our goal is to continue our historical long-term pattern of outperforming the industry, but our ability to do so in any given quarter will likely be partially dependent upon film mix, weather and the competitive landscape in our markets.
Total theatre attendance for our comparable theatres increased 7.1% during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023, which was primarily attributable to a stronger film slate, higher box office performance from the top films during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the top films last fiscal year during the third quarter, and an increase in the number of films released during the fiscal 2024 third quarter. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024 there were 30 wide-release films (films showed in over approximately 1,500 theatres in the U.S.) compared to 24 wide-release films during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
Total theatre attendance for our comparable theatres decreased 11.8% during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the prior year period, resulting primarily from the weaker film slate in the first half of fiscal 2024, partially offset by an increase in theatre attendance during fiscal 2024 third quarter compared to the prior year quarter. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 there were 82 wide-release films compared to 76 wide-release films during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, with the increase in wide release films occurring entirely in the third quarter. While the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the first half of fiscal 2023 was comprised of a similar number of wide releases, there were fewer major franchise titles and an overall lower quality of film product during the first half of fiscal 2024, though film product quantity and quality significantly improved during the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Our highest grossing films during the fiscal 2024 third quarter included Deadpool & Wolverine, Despicable Me 4, Twisters, Inside Out 2, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Our top five films during our fiscal 2024 third quarter accounted for 66% of our total box office results, compared to 56% (including event cinema in both periods) for the top five films during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, both expressed as a percentage of the total admission revenues for the relevant period. An increased concentration of blockbuster films during a given quarter often has the effect of increasing our film rental costs during the period, as generally the better a particular film performs, the greater the film rental cost tends to be as a percentage of box office receipts. As a result of a more concentrated film slate, our overall film cost as a percentage of admission revenues increased during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Our average ticket price increased 2.6% during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, our average ticket price increased 0.9% compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. Our average ticket price during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was positively impacted by an increased percentage of ticket sales coming from Premium Large Format (PLF) screens and evening showings, partially offset by the negative impact of an increased percentage of our weekly attendance coming from Value Tuesday, and promotional pricing offerings, including a $7 Everyday Matinee for seniors and children that was introduced during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The overall change in average ticket price favorably impacted our admission revenues of our comparable theatres by $1.5 million and $0.9 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively.
Our average concession revenues per person increased by 7.9% and 3.7% during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively, due to market pricing adjustments, as well an increase in the number of concessions, food and beverage transactions per ticket sold, or our “hit rate”. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we made changes to our Value Tuesday promotion for our MMR loyalty members, discontinuing the prior promotion that offered a 20% discount on all concessions, food and non-alcoholic beverages and reintroducing a free complimentary-sized popcorn, which has been well received by guests. The overall increase in average concession revenues per person favorably impacted our concession revenues of our comparable theatres by $4.3 million and $4.6 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively.
Other revenues during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increased by $3.7 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 due to the impact of increased attendance on internet surcharge ticketing fees and preshow and in-app advertising revenue.
19
Late during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we made changes to the criteria for waiving internet surcharge ticket fees for our MMR members, resulting in an increase in ticketing fees per person during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Other revenues during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 increased by $3.6 million compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 due to an increase in internet surcharge ticketing fees per person, partially offset by the impact of overall decreased attendance on internet surcharge ticketing fees and preshow and in-app advertising revenue during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.
The quantity, quality, and mix of films available for theatrical exhibition, including wide-release films, was negatively impacted during fiscal 2024 by the shutdown of movie production resulting from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA labor strikes that occurred during fiscal 2023. While the labor strikes were resolved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 with film production resuming thereafter, the quantity of new film releases available for theatrical exhibition during fiscal 2024 was negatively impacted by the prolonged shutdown of movie production during the first half of the year, as was the overall quality of the films released, as several film release dates for major motion pictures were shifted to fiscal 2025. While lead times for movie production to theatrical release are lengthy, based upon projected film and alternate content availability, we currently estimate that we may once again show an increased number of films and alternate content events on our screens during fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024.
We ended the third quarter of fiscal 2024 with a total of 981 company-owned screens in 78 theatres and 14 managed screens at one theatre, compared to 993 company-owned screens in 79 theatres at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023. We made decisions to close several underperforming theatres during fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, including one of our owned theatres in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, two owned theatres in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, two owned theatres and one leased theatre in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, and one leased theatre in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we added one theatre that we manage for the owner of a lifestyle shopping center.
Hotels and Resorts

Hotels and resorts revenues increased 8.1% and 6.0% during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively. Revenues were favorably impacted by approximately $3.3 million from the Republican National Convention (RNC) held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Our hotels and resorts division operating income increased $2.7 million and $2.5 million during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively, primarily due to an increase in revenue from the RNC during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense from hotel renovations placed in service during fiscal 2023 and 2024.

The following table provides a further breakdown of the components of revenues for the hotels and resorts division for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 (in millions, except for variance percentage):

Division total revenues before cost reimbursements increased 9.6% and 6.7% during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively, due primarily to an increase in group business revenues (including from the RNC) that offset lower weekend leisure travel demand. The increase in group business in fiscal 2024 has resulted in an increase in banquet and catering sales, positively impacting food and beverage revenues compared to the fiscal 2023 periods.
The following table sets forth certain operating statistics for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, including our average occupancy percentage (number of occupied rooms as a percentage of available rooms), our average daily room rate, or ADR, and our total revenue per available room, or RevPAR, for comparable company-owned properties:

RevPAR$178.94 $163.00 $15.94 9.8 %$131.84 $123.23 $8.61 7.0 %
Note: These operating statistics represent averages of our seven distinct comparable company-owned hotels and resorts, branded and unbranded, in different geographic markets with a wide range of individual hotel performance. The statistics are not necessarily representative of any particular hotel or resort.
RevPAR increased at four of our seven comparable company-owned properties during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 driven primarily by the impact of high daily rates during the RNC during our fiscal 2024 third quarter. Excluding the impact of the RNC, average daily rates during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 were effectively flat compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Group demand continued to grow during the fiscal 2024 third quarter, with weekday occupancy growth due to increased group business as a percentage of our overall business mix. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, our group business represented approximately 47.3% of our total rooms revenue (43.1% excluding group business from the RNC), compared to approximately 40.7% during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the positive impact of group business associated with the RNC, an increase in group business as a percentage of our overall business mix generally increases overall occupancy while negatively impacting ADR. Non-group pricing decreased in some of our major markets during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, due to generally lower transient leisure travel demand and due to a shift in pricing strategy as we optimized pricing to drive higher occupancy and overall RevPAR through lower daily rate offerings.
According to data received from Smith Travel Research and compiled by us in order to evaluate our fiscal 2024 third quarter and first three quarters results, comparable “upper upscale” hotels—hotels identified as our industry— throughout the United States experienced an increase in RevPAR of 1.4% during our fiscal 2024 third quarter compared to the same period during fiscal 2023, leading us to believe we outperformed the industry during the fiscal 2024 third quarter by approximately 8.4 percentage points. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, comparable “upper upscale” hotels experienced an increase in RevPAR of 2.1%, leading us to believe we outperformed the industry during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 by 4.9 percentage points. We believe our
21
outperformance during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 results primarily from our strong performance in the group customer segment, incremental revenue from the RNC, as well as improved revenue management and rate optimization resulting in higher occupancy growth compared to the rest of the industry.
Data received from Smith Travel Research for our various “competitive sets”—hotels identified in our specific markets that we deem to be competitors to our hotels—indicates that these hotels experienced an increase in RevPAR of 12.4% during our fiscal 2024 third quarter, again compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. Therefore, we underperformed our competitive sets during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 by approximately 2.6 percentage points. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, hotels in our competitive sets experienced an increase in RevPAR of 7.6%, indicating that we underperformed our competitive set hotels by approximately 0.6 percentage points. We believe our underperformance to our competitive sets during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024 results from our mix of RNC business and airline crew business compared to our competitive sets, as well as new hotel room supply within one of our markets.
Looking to future periods, overall occupancy in the U.S. is expected to continue to slowly increase. In the near term, we expect leisure travel demand to continue to normalize to long-term historical demand levels, and we expect our group business to remain strong. Leisure travel in our markets has a seasonal component, peaking in the summer months and slowing down as children return to school and the weather turns colder in our primarily Midwestern markets. We expect gradual increases in business travel as corporate training events, meetings, and conferences return and office occupancy increases. As of the date of this report, our group room revenue bookings for the remainder of fiscal 2024 - commonly referred to in the hotels and resorts industry as “group pace” - is running approximately 11% ahead of where we were at the same time last year. Group room revenue bookings for fiscal 2025 is running over 30% ahead of where we were at the same time in fiscal 2023 for fiscal 2024, excluding bookings related to the July 2024 RNC. Banquet and catering revenue pace for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 is similarly running ahead of where we were at this same time last year, excluding bookings related to the July 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. We are encouraged by continuing positive trends in group bookings for the remainder of fiscal 2024, fiscal 2025 and beyond.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance and enterprise value. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for us and investors, as it eliminates certain expenses that are not indicative of our core operating performance and facilitates a comparison of our core operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a basis to determine certain annual cash bonuses and long-term incentive awards, to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by analysts, investors and other interested parties as a performance measure to evaluate industry competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or free cash flow for management’s discretionary use. Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) attributable to The Marcus Corporation before investment income or loss, interest expense, other expense, gain or loss on disposition of property, equipment and other assets, impairment charges, equity earnings or losses from unconsolidated joint ventures, net earnings or losses attributable to noncontrolling interests, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash share-based compensation expense, adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the items eliminated in the adjustments made to determine Adjusted EBITDA, such as acquisition expenses, preopening expenses, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges and other adjustments. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Definitions and calculations of Adjusted EBITDA differ among companies in our industries, and therefore Adjusted EBITDA disclosed by us may not be comparable to the measures disclosed by other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our movie theatre and hotels and resorts businesses each generate significant and consistent daily amounts of cash, subject to previously-noted seasonality, because each segment’s revenue is derived predominantly from consumer cash purchases. We believe that these relatively consistent and predictable cash sources, as well as the availability of unused credit lines, would be adequate to support the ongoing operational liquidity needs of our businesses.
Maintaining and protecting a strong balance sheet has always been a core value of The Marcus Corporation during our 89-year history and our financial position remains strong. As of September 26, 2024, we had a cash balance of approximately $28.4 million, $220.2 million of availability under our $225 million revolving credit facility, our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.27, and our net leverage ratio was 1.67x net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. With our strong liquidity position combined with cash generated from operations, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due and to comply with our debt covenants for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as fund our longer-term capital requirements.

We believe Net Leverage is a useful measure, as it provides management and investors an indication of our indebtedness less unrestricted cash relative to our earnings performance.
Financial Condition
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $51.4 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $68.6 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. The $17.3 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a $25.0 million decrease in net earnings, a $1.3 million increase in cash matching contributions to our retirement savings and profit-sharing plan, a decrease in deferred income tax benefits and unfavorable changes in working capital, partially offset by a $15.3 million non-cash debt conversion expense and an increase in non-cash share-based compensation expense.
Net cash used in investing activities during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 totaled $58.4 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $26.9 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. The increase in net cash used in investing activities of $31.5 million was the result of an increase of $27.9 million in capital expenditures, and a $5.6 million purchase of joint venture interests in The Lofton Hotel, partially offset by a $1.5 million sale of joint venture interests in The Lofton Hotel to other minority investors. Total cash capital expenditures (including normal continuing capital maintenance and renovation projects) totaled $53.8 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to $25.8 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023.
Fiscal 2024 first three quarters cash capital expenditures included approximately $11.4 million incurred in our theatre division, primarily related to normal maintenance capital projects. We incurred capital expenditures in our hotels and resorts division during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 of approximately $36.6 million, including costs related to guest room renovations at The Pfister Hotel, associate housing construction and meeting space renovations at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa and normal maintenance capital projects. We incurred corporate capital expenditures during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 of approximately $5.8 million primarily related to office construction for the relocation of our corporate and divisional headquarters (a portion of which will be reimbursed by the landlord in a future period).
Net cash used in financing activities during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 totaled $19.8 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $26.2 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, we increased our borrowings under our revolving credit facility as needed to fund our cash needs and used excess cash to reduce our borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As short-term revolving credit facility borrowings became due, we replaced them as necessary with new short-term revolving credit facility borrowings. As a result, we added $81.0 million of new short-term revolving credit facility borrowings, and we made $81.0 million of repayments on short-term revolving credit facility borrowings during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 (net zero borrowings on our credit facility). We ended the third quarter of fiscal 2024 with no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
25
During the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, we increased our borrowings under our revolving credit facility as needed to fund our cash needs and used excess cash to reduce our borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As a result, we added $38.0 million of new short-term revolving credit facility borrowings, and we made $38.0 million of repayments on short-term revolving credit facility borrowings during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 (net zero borrowings on our credit facility).
Principal payments on long-term debt were approximately $11.0 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 compared to payments of $11.1 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023.
During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 we received $100.0 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of senior notes in July 2024. See Master Note Purchase Agreement for further discussion below.
During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 we paid $102.5 million in cash for the Convertible Notes Repurchases (as defined below) and related transaction costs, with no repurchases in fiscal 2023. We received $13.2 million in cash from the proportionate unwind of the Capped Call Transactions in connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. See Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases for further discussion below.
Our debt-to-capitalization ratio (excluding our finance and operating lease obligations) was 0.27 at September 26, 2024, compared to 0.26 at December 28, 2023.
During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, we repurchased 0.7 million shares of our common stock for $9.7 million in the open market, compared to no share repurchases of our common stock in the open market during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. As of September 26, 2024, approximately 1.7 million shares remained available for repurchase under prior Board of Directors repurchase authorizations. Under these authorizations, we may repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market, pursuant to privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending upon a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions.
Dividends paid during the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 were $6.6 million. Dividends paid during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 were $5.3 million. We have the ability to declare quarterly dividend payments and/or repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market as we deem appropriate.
Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases
During the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, we entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain holders of its Convertible Notes. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange $99.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for cash consideration of $121.5 million (or $103.3 million net of the cash we received in connection with the unwind of a portion of the Capped Call Transactions as discussed below) effected over three separate repurchase tranches (the “Convertible Notes Repurchases”). On May 8, 2024, we entered into the first repurchase transaction to retire $40.0 million of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $45.9 million in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, we entered into the second repurchase transaction to retire $46.4 million of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $55.2 million in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024. On September 19, 2024, we entered into the third repurchase transaction to retire $13.5 million of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $20.4 million in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal fourth quarter on October 11, 2024. Following settlement of the Convertible Note Repurchases on October 11, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding was $0.1 million.
In connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases, we entered into unwind agreements with the Capped Call Counterparties to terminate a portion of the Capped Call Transactions equal to the notional amounts of the Convertible Notes Repurchases, and to receive aggregate cash of $18.2 million effected over two separate unwind tranches. On May 8, 2024, we entered into the first tranche of unwind agreements and received $5.8 million in cash consideration with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, we entered into the second tranche of unwind agreements and received $7.5 million in cash consideration at settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024.
During the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, we incurred debt conversion expense of $1.4 million and $15.3 million, respectively, in connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases. The unwind of the Capped Call
26
Transactions resulted in a $4.7 million and $17.6 million increase in capital in excess of par within shareholders’ equity during the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2024, respectively.
Master Note Purchase Agreement
During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, on July 9, 2024, we entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement with several purchasers party to the agreement, pursuant to which we issued and sold $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes in two tranches: (i) $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.89% Series 2024 Senior Notes, Tranche A due July 9, 2031 (the “Tranche A Notes”) and (ii) $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.02% Series 2024 Senior Notes, Tranche B due July 9, 2034 (the “Tranche B Notes” and, collectively with the Tranche A Notes, the “2024 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds were used to refinance the Convertible Notes Repurchases of $99.9 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes and for general corporate purposes.
Interest on the 2024 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on the 9th day of January and July each year, commencing on January 9, 2025, and on the applicable maturity date. The Tranche A Notes require annual principal amortization payments beginning in fiscal 2027 with a final maturity in fiscal 2031. The Tranche B Notes require annual principal amortization payments beginning in fiscal 2028 with a final maturity in fiscal 2034. The Master Note Purchase Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are consistent with the restrictions, covenants and collateral provisions in the Company’s existing Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreements. Among other requirements, the Master Note Purchase Agreement requires us to maintain (i) a ratio of consolidated net debt (as defined in the Master Note Purchase Agreement) to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Master Note Purchase Agreement) of 3.50 to 1.00 or less, with some temporary exceptions for material acquisitions, and (ii) a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (as defined in the Master Note Purchase Agreement) for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter) of 3.00 to 1.00 or more.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
General General
Basis of Presentation - The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024 and September 28, 2023 have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited interim financial information at September 26, 2024, and for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations during the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or other interim periods. However, the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2023.
Accounting Policies - Refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (including footnotes) for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, for a description of the Company’s accounting policies.
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or any related lease terms. Depreciation expense totaled $17,277 and $49,992 for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, respectively, and $19,150 and $51,004 for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2023, respectively.
Assets Held for Sale – Long-lived assets that are expected to be sold within the next 12 months and meet the other relevant held-for-sale criteria are classified as assets held for sale and included within current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less costs to sell the asset.
Long-Lived Assets – The Company periodically considers whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets held for use are present. This includes quantitative and qualitative factors, including evaluating the historical actual operating performance of the long-lived assets and assessing the potential impact of recent events and transactions impacting the long-lived assets. If such indicators are present, the Company determines if the long-lived assets are recoverable by assessing whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If the long-lived assets are not recoverable, the Company recognizes any impairment losses based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value.
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at one asset group for a leased theatre location that the Company made the decision to close during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. As such, the Company evaluated the fair value of these assets, consisting primarily of land improvements, leasehold improvements, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets less lease obligations, and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (using estimated discounted cash flows over the life of the primary asset), was less than their carrying values and recorded a $472 impairment loss, reducing certain property and equipment and certain operating lease net obligations. The remaining net book value of the impaired assets as of the date of the asset write-down (June 27, 2024) was $0.
During the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2023, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at one theatre asset group. As such, the Company evaluated the fair value of these assets, consisting primarily of land, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (using estimated discounted cash flows over the life of the primary asset, including estimated sales proceeds) was less than their carrying values and recorded a $684 impairment loss, reducing certain property and equipment assets. The remaining net book value of the impaired assets as of the date of the asset write-down (September 28, 2023) was $3,040.
Goodwill – The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise. The Company performs its annual impairment test on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024 or September 28, 2023.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Net earnings (loss) per share (EPS) of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is computed using the two class method. Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and convertible debt instruments using the if-converted method. Convertible Class B Common Stock and convertible debt instruments are reflected on an if-converted basis when dilutive to Common Stock. The computation of the diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Common Stock assumes the conversion of Class B Common Stock in periods that have net earnings since it would be dilutive to Common Stock earnings per share, while the diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Class B Common Stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to cash dividends per share equal to 110% of all dividends declared and paid on each share of Class B Common Stock. As such, the undistributed earnings (losses) for each period are allocated based on the proportionate share of entitled cash dividends.
The following table illustrates the computation of Common Stock basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share, provides a reconciliation of the number of weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding, when applicable, and provides the weighted-average number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding:

For the periods when the Company reports a net loss, common stock equivalents, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and shares related to the convertible senior notes are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Performance stock units are considered anti-dilutive if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares are contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Shares related to the convertible senior notes are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods when the effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.

Fair Value Measurements - Certain financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Some are measured on a recurring basis while others are measured on a non-recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. A fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in one of the following categories:
Level 1 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date. At September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $7,332 and $5,364 respectively, of debt and equity securities classified as trading were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in other current assets. At September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $15,014 and $37,018, respectively, of investments in money market funds were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in cash and cash equivalents.
Level 2 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on pricing inputs that were either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. At each of September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, none of the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities were measured using Level 2 pricing inputs.
Level 3 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which result in the use of management estimates. At each of September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, none of the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair market value were valued using Level 3 pricing inputs. Assets that are measured on a non-recurring basis are discussed above under Long-Lived Assets.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable) approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s $160,000 of senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $160,917 at September 26, 2024, determined based upon discounted cash flows using current market interest rates for financial instruments with a similar average remaining life. The fair value of the Company's $13,649 of convertible senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $20,183 at September 26, 2024, determined based on market rates and the closing trading price of the convertible senior notes as of September 26, 2024. The carrying amounts of the Company’s remaining long-term debt approximate their fair values, determined using current rates for similar instruments, or Level 2 pricing inputs.
Defined Benefit Plan - The components of the net periodic pension cost of the Company’s unfunded nonqualified, defined-benefit plan are as follows:

Credit Agreement
As of September 26, 2024, the Company has a Credit Agreement that provides for a revolving credit facility that matures on October 16, 2028 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $225,000. At September 26, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility, which when borrowed, bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus a margin (as discussed further below), effectively 6.60% at September 26, 2024. Availability under the $225,000 revolving credit facility was $220,185 as of September 26, 2024 after taking into consideration outstanding letters of credit that reduce revolver availability.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) the term SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, subject to a 0% floor, plus a specified margin based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio as of the most recent determination date, or (ii) the alternate base rate (“ABR”) (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the greater of the federal funds rate and the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%), subject to a 1% floor, plus a specified margin based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio as of the most recent determination date. The revolving credit facility also requires an annual facility fee equal to 0.175% to 0.275% of the total revolving commitments depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement includes, among other restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company, a requirement that the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio not exceed 3.50:1.00, provided that, with some limitations, such ratio may be increased to 4.00:1:00 for the full fiscal quarter in which a material acquisition (in which aggregate consideration equals or
exceeds $30,000) is consummated and the three fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, and a requirement that the Company’s interest coverage ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter not be less than 3.00:1.00.
In connection with the Credit Agreement: (i) the Company has pledged, subject to certain exceptions, security interests and liens in and on (a) substantially all of its respective personal property assets and (b) certain of its respective real property assets, in each case, to secure the Credit Agreement and related obligations; and (ii) certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then, among other things, the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise rights and remedies against the pledged collateral.
Note Purchase Agreements
At September 26, 2024, the Company’s $160,000 of senior notes consisted of three Note Purchase Agreements maturing in 2025 through 2034, which require annual principal payments in varying installments and bear interest payable semi-annually at fixed rates ranging from 4.02% to 7.02%. The weighted average fixed rate of the $160,000 senior notes was 5.94% as of September 26, 2024.
During the 13 weeks ended September 26, 2024, on July 9, 2024, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement with several purchasers party to the agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $100,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes in two tranches: (i) $60,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.89% Series 2024 Senior Notes, Tranche A due July 9, 2031 (the “Tranche A Notes”) and (ii) $40,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.02% Series 2024 Senior Notes, Tranche B due July 9, 2034 (the “Tranche B Notes” and, collectively with the Tranche A Notes, the “2024 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds were used to refinance the Convertible Notes Repurchases of $99,901 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes (see below) and for general corporate purposes.
Interest on the 2024 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on the 9th day of January and July each year, commencing on January 9, 2025, and on the applicable maturity date. The Tranche A Notes require annual principal amortization payments beginning in fiscal 2027 with a final maturity in fiscal 2031. The Tranche B Notes require annual principal amortization payments beginning in fiscal 2028 with a final maturity in fiscal 2034. The Master Note Purchase Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are consistent with the restrictions, covenants and collateral provisions in the Company’s existing Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreements.
Convertible Senior Notes
On September 17, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to issue and sell $100,050 aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes.”) The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated September 22, 2020, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
The Convertible Notes bear interest from September 22, 2020 at a rate of 5.00% per year. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes may bear additional interest under specified circumstances relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations under the Indenture or if the Convertible Notes are not freely tradeable as required by the Indenture. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Prior to March 15, 2025, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances: (i) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2020 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day
period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after March 15, 2025, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof. The initial conversion rate was 90.8038 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.01 per share of Common Stock), representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 22.5% to the $8.99 last reported sale price of the Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2020. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events, including distributions and dividends paid to holders of Common Stock. At September 26, 2024, the applicable conversion rate is 94.3588 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an applicable conversion price of approximately $10.60 per share of Common Stock). The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes before maturity and no “sinking fund” is provided for the Convertible Notes.
Since the Company’s fiscal 2021 second quarter through the Company’s fiscal 2024 second quarter, the Company’s Convertible Notes were eligible for conversion at the option of the holders as the last reported sale price of the Common Stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the last 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. During the Company’s fiscal 2024 third quarter the Convertible Notes were not eligible for conversion at the option of the holders as the last reported sale price of the Common Stock was not greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the last 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. The Company has the ability to settle the conversion in Company stock. The Convertible Notes are eligible for conversion at the option of the holders during the Company’s fiscal 2024 fourth quarter.
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes on September 17, 2020, and in connection with the exercise by the Initial Purchasers (as defined in the Convertible Notes purchase agreement) of their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes on September 18, 2020, the Company entered into privately negotiated Capped Call Transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution of the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes. If, however, the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially $17.98 per share (in no event shall the cap price be less than the strike price of $11.0128), which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Common Stock of $8.99 per share on The New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2020. Under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, the cap price is subject to adjustment for certain events, including distributions and dividends paid to holders of Common Stock. At September 26, 2024, the adjusted cap price is approximately $17.30 per share. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not change the rights of holders of the Convertible Notes under the Convertible Notes and the Indenture.
Convertible Senior Notes Repurchases
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain holders of its Convertible Notes. Under the terms of the Purchase
Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange $99,901 in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for cash consideration of $121,511 (or $103,314 net of the cash received by the Company in connection with the unwind of a portion of the Capped Call Transactions as discussed below) effected over three separate repurchase tranches (the “Convertible Notes Repurchases”). On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into the first repurchase transaction to retire $40,000 of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $45,879 in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into the second repurchase transaction to retire $46,401 of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $55,208 in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024. On September 19, 2024, the Company entered into the third repurchase transaction to retire $13,500 of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for $20,424 in cash consideration plus accrued interest, with settlement occurring during the fiscal fourth quarter on October 11, 2024. Following settlement of the Convertible Note Repurchases on October 11, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding was $149. During the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company incurred debt conversion expense of $1,410 and $15,318, respectively, in connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases.
In connection with the Convertible Notes Repurchases, the Company entered into unwind agreements with the Capped Call Counterparties to terminate a portion of the Capped Call Transactions equal to the notional amounts of the Convertible Notes Repurchases, and for the Company to receive aggregate cash of $18,197 effected over three separate unwind tranches. On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into the first tranche of unwind agreements and received $5,770 in cash consideration with settlement occurring during the fiscal second quarter on June 14, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into the second tranche of unwind agreements and received $7,460 in cash consideration at settlement occurring during the fiscal third quarter on July 16, 2024. On September 19, 2024, the Company entered into the third tranche of unwind agreements and received $4,967 in cash consideration at settlement occurring during the fiscal fourth quarter on October 11, 2024.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a finance lease or an operating lease according to Accounting Standards Codification No. 842, Leases. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. The Company leases real estate and equipment with lease terms of one year to 45 years, some of which include options to extend and/or terminate the lease.
The majority of the Company’s lease agreements include fixed rental payments. For those leases with variable payments based on increases in an index subsequent to lease commencement, such payments are recognized as variable lease expense as they occur. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, including those that depend on the Company’s performance or use of the underlying asset, are also expensed as incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share Based Compensation Share Based Compensation
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company granted restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs) to certain executives and associates.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company granted (i) an annual award of restricted stock and RSUs with a vesting period of 50% after two years and 100% after three years, and (ii) a special long-term incentive and retention award of restricted stock to certain executives with a vesting period of 100% after four years, or upon retirement after three years. Restricted stock awards are issued and outstanding common stock at the time of the grant and become unrestricted upon the vesting date. RSU awards are payable in common stock upon vesting. The Company expenses the cost of restricted stock and RSU awards over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant.

Performance Stock Units
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company granted PSUs with vesting subject to the Company’s achievement of performance goals expressed in terms of (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, growth rate ranking relative to the Russell 2000 Index with respect to 25% of the total number of performance stock unit awards, and (ii) the Company’s average return on invested capital, or ROIC, ranking relative to the Russell 2000 Index with respect to 75% of the total number of performance stock unit awards. For grants awarded in fiscal 2024, the PSU performance goals relate to the three-year performance period from fiscal 2024-2026. PSUs are payable at the end of their respective performance period in common stock, and the number of PSUs awarded can range from zero to 150% depending on the Company’s achievement of the relative performance metrics. The Company expenses the cost of PSUs based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant and the estimated achievement of the performance metric, ratable over the performance period of three fiscal years.
A summary of the Company’s stock option, restricted stock and RSU and PSU activity and related information follows, with PSUs reflected at the target achievement percentage until the completion of the performance period (shares in thousands):

Joint Venture Transactions Joint Venture Transactions
In March 2024, the Company formed a joint venture with Hempel Real Estate (“Hempel”) and Robinson Park (“RP”) to acquire the Loews Minneapolis Hotel, a 251 guest room and suite full-service lifestyle hotel located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The acquired hotel was rebranded as The Lofton Hotel (“Lofton”) under the Tapestry Collection by Hilton flag. The Company invested $5,620 for a 33.3% equity interest in the Lofton joint venture and entered into a management agreement for the hotel. Subsequent to its initial investment in the joint venture, the Company sold an 8.6% interest to a minority investor for $1,500, reducing its equity interest in the Lofton joint venture to 24.7%. The Company accounts for its investment in the Lofton joint venture on the equity method.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lofton joint venture entity, as the borrower, financed the acquisition of and future improvements to the hotel with a mortgage loan. In connection with this mortgage loan, the Company provided an environmental indemnity and a several payment guaranty that provides that the lender can recover losses from the Company, a principal in Hempel, and a principal in RP for certain events of default of the borrower up to $6,200 for the Company. Under the terms of a cross-indemnity agreement among the guarantors, the other two guarantors have fully indemnified the Company under the guarantees for any losses in excess of its proportionate liability under the several payment guaranty and environmental indemnity.

Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation - The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024 and September 28, 2023 have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited interim financial information at September 26, 2024, and for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations during the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or other interim periods. However, the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2023.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or any related lease terms. Depreciation expense totaled $17,277 and $49,992 for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, respectively, and $19,150 and $51,004 for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2023, respectively.
Assets Held for Sale Assets Held for Sale – Long-lived assets that are expected to be sold within the next 12 months and meet the other relevant held-for-sale criteria are classified as assets held for sale and included within current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less costs to sell the asset.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-Lived Assets – The Company periodically considers whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets held for use are present. This includes quantitative and qualitative factors, including evaluating the historical actual operating performance of the long-lived assets and assessing the potential impact of recent events and transactions impacting the long-lived assets. If such indicators are present, the Company determines if the long-lived assets are recoverable by assessing whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If the long-lived assets are not recoverable, the Company recognizes any impairment losses based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value.
During the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at one asset group for a leased theatre location that the Company made the decision to close during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. As such, the Company evaluated the fair value of these assets, consisting primarily of land improvements, leasehold improvements, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets less lease obligations, and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (using estimated discounted cash flows over the life of the primary asset), was less than their carrying values and recorded a $472 impairment loss, reducing certain property and equipment and certain operating lease net obligations. The remaining net book value of the impaired assets as of the date of the asset write-down (June 27, 2024) was $0.
During the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2023, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at one theatre asset group. As such, the Company evaluated the fair value of these assets, consisting primarily of land, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (using estimated discounted cash flows over the life of the primary asset, including estimated sales proceeds) was less than their carrying values and recorded a $684 impairment loss, reducing certain property and equipment assets. The remaining net book value of the impaired assets as of the date of the asset write-down (September 28, 2023) was $3,040.
Goodwill
Goodwill – The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise. The Company performs its annual impairment test on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2024 or September 28, 2023.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Net earnings (loss) per share (EPS) of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is computed using the two class method. Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and convertible debt instruments using the if-converted method. Convertible Class B Common Stock and convertible debt instruments are reflected on an if-converted basis when dilutive to Common Stock. The computation of the diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Common Stock assumes the conversion of Class B Common Stock in periods that have net earnings since it would be dilutive to Common Stock earnings per share, while the diluted net earnings (loss) per share of Class B Common Stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to cash dividends per share equal to 110% of all dividends declared and paid on each share of Class B Common Stock. As such, the undistributed earnings (losses) for each period are allocated based on the proportionate share of entitled cash dividends.
The following table illustrates the computation of Common Stock basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share, provides a reconciliation of the number of weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding, when applicable, and provides the weighted-average number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding:

For the periods when the Company reports a net loss, common stock equivalents, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and shares related to the convertible senior notes are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Performance stock units are considered anti-dilutive if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares are contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Shares related to the convertible senior notes are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods when the effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements - Certain financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Some are measured on a recurring basis while others are measured on a non-recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. A fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in one of the following categories:
Level 1 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date. At September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $7,332 and $5,364 respectively, of debt and equity securities classified as trading were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in other current assets. At September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, the Company’s $15,014 and $37,018, respectively, of investments in money market funds were valued using Level 1 pricing inputs and were included in cash and cash equivalents.
Level 2 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on pricing inputs that were either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. At each of September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, none of the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities were measured using Level 2 pricing inputs.
Level 3 - Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which result in the use of management estimates. At each of September 26, 2024 and December 28, 2023, none of the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair market value were valued using Level 3 pricing inputs. Assets that are measured on a non-recurring basis are discussed above under Long-Lived Assets.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable) approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s $160,000 of senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $160,917 at September 26, 2024, determined based upon discounted cash flows using current market interest rates for financial instruments with a similar average remaining life. The fair value of the Company's $13,649 of convertible senior notes, valued using Level 2 pricing inputs, is approximately $20,183 at September 26, 2024, determined based on market rates and the closing trading price of the convertible senior notes as of September 26, 2024. The carrying amounts of the Company’s remaining long-term debt approximate their fair values, determined using current rates for similar instruments, or Level 2 pricing inputs.

New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements - In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU No. 2023-07), which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. ASU No 2023-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 26, 2024, and the Company’s interim periods beginning in fiscal 2025. The Company is evaluating the effect that the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU No. 2023-09), which requires improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU No. 2023-09 will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2025 and must be applied prospectively with retrospective application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a finance lease or an operating lease according to Accounting Standards Codification No. 842, Leases. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. The Company leases real estate and equipment with lease terms of one year to 45 years, some of which include options to extend and/or terminate the lease.
The majority of the Company’s lease agreements include fixed rental payments. For those leases with variable payments based on increases in an index subsequent to lease commencement, such payments are recognized as variable lease expense as they occur. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, including those that depend on the Company’s performance or use of the underlying asset, are also expensed as incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
