MSG Rangers Corp. Reports Fiscal 2027 First Quarter Results<\/b><\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMSG Rangers Corp. (NYSE: MSGR<\/a>) (“MSG Rangers” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2026. This marks the first quarter that MSG Rangers is reporting financial results as a standalone company, following its spin-off from MSG Knickerbockers Corp. (NYSE: MSGK) (“MSG Knicks”), which was completed on October 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

\nThe Company’s fiscal 2027 and 2026 results are presented in accordance with accounting requirements for the preparation of carve-out financial statements, reflecting the results of the Rangers businesses previously owned and operated by MSG Knicks. These results do not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by MSG Rangers had it been a standalone company for the periods presented.<\/p>\n

\nFor the fiscal 2027 first quarter, the Company generated revenues of $14.1 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 3%, as compared to the prior year period. In addition, the Company reported an operating loss of $23.6 million, an increase of $10.7 million, and adjusted operating loss of $21.3 million, an increase of $10.9 million, both as compared to the prior year period.(1)<\/sup><\/p>\n

\nMSG Rangers Corp. Executive Chairman and CEO James L. Dolan said, \u201cFollowing our spin-off, MSG Rangers begins its new chapter as a standalone company with enhanced strategic flexibility. The Rangers are a marquee franchise with a large and passionate fan base, and we remain well-positioned to create long-term value for shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summary of Financial Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nFor the fiscal 2027 first quarter, revenues of $14.1 million increased $0.4 million, or 3%, as compared to the prior year period. This primarily reflected higher revenues from league distributions of $1.2 million, mainly due to an increase in certain league distributions unrelated to national media rights fees, partially offset by other revenue decreases.<\/p>\n

\nDirect operating expenses of $8.8 million increased $5.2 million as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by (i) higher net provisions for certain team personnel transactions of $3.1 million and (ii) higher team personnel compensation of $1.3 million.<\/p>\n

\nSelling, general and administrative expenses of $28.1 million increased $5.8 million, or 26%, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by (i) expenses related to the spin-off transaction in the current year period of $3.6 million and (ii) higher employee compensation and related benefits of $1.4 million.<\/p>\n

\nOperating loss of $23.6 million increased $10.7 million and adjusted operating loss of $21.3 million increased $10.9 million, both as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses and direct operating expenses.<\/p>\n

About MSG Rangers Corp.<\/b><\/p>\n

Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n

We define adjusted operating income (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (iii) restructuring charges or credits, (iv) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses, and (v) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), adjusted operating income (loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of our business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash.<\/i><\/p>\n

We believe adjusted operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our Company. Adjusted operating income (loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze our performance. Internally, we use revenues and adjusted operating income (loss) as the most important indicators of our business performance, and evaluate management\u2019s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted operating income (loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and\/or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d). Since adjusted operating income (loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss), please see page 5 of this earnings release.<\/i><\/p>\n
