World Wrestling beats by $0.06, misses on revs; cuts profit outlook

Reports Q3 (Sep) earnings of $0.06 per share, $0.06 better than the S&P Capital IQ Consensus of ($0.00); revenues fell 0.9% year/year to $186.3 mln vs the $192.19 mln S&P Capital IQ Consensus. Adjusted OIBDA was $25.4 million, which exceeded the Company's guidance.

The Company's previous full year guidance, which targeted Adjusted OIBDA of at least $200 million, assumed continued improvement in WWE's engagement metrics, a second large scale event in the MENA region, and the completion of a media rights deal in the MENA region. Although the Company is holding a second large-scale event today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, its previously contemplated agreement for the region has not yet been completed. Additionally, the Company has accelerated strategic investments to support the creation of its content while reducing or delaying other expenses to lessen the impact of that investment. Given the delay in completing a MENA agreement and the impact of these strategic investments, the Company has modified its full year guidance to an Adjusted OIBDA range of $180 million to $190 million, which would be an all-time record.

The Company's full year guidance includes estimated fourth quarter 2019 Adjusted OIBDA of approximately $108 to $118 million. The fourth quarter results reflect substantial revenue growth from the Company's new content distribution agreements in the U.S., which become effective at the start of the quarter.

The Company expects to provide in-depth perspective on its 2020 performance, long-term strategy and business model in mid-to-late February following the announcement of its 2019 results.

• Co issues in-line guidance for FY19, sees FY19 revs of ~1.0 bln vs. $1.03 bln S&P Capital IQ Consensus
• For the second quarter 2019, the Company estimates Adjusted OIBDA of $19 million to $24 million.6 This range of results represents a year-over-year decline in Adjusted OIBDA driven by increases in fixed costs, including the timing of strategic investments
• Achieving the targeted range of full year results assumes substantial revenue, which supports Adjusted OIBDA of at least $100 million in the fourth quarter

=World Wrestling (WWE) reported earnings on Thur 25 Oct 2018 (b/o)

World Wrestling beats by $0.13, misses on revs; provides FY 19 outlook

• Reports Q3 (Sep) earnings of $0.37 per share, $0.13 better than the S&P Capital IQ Consensus of $0.24; revenues rose 1.1% year/year to $188.4 mln vs the $201.86 mln S&P Capital IQ Consensus.
• Operating income was $18.1 million. Adjusted OIBDA1 of $35.8 million exceeded the Company's guidance
• Revs increased slightly as the increased monetization of content as reflected in the Media segment was nearly offset by lower ticket sales at the Company's live events and a $2.6 million unfavorable impact on licensing revenue due to the adoption of the new FASB standard for revenue recognition
• Full year 2018 Adjusted OIBDA is expected to range from $160 million to $170 million, which would be consistent with the Company's previous guidance3
• The Company is developing its operating and financial plans for 2019 and subsequent years. Given the substantial revenue growth provided by its new U.S. distribution agreements, the Company is currently targeting Adjusted OIBDA of at least $200 million for 2019, during which the new agreements' rates are effective for only three months.
