Who Wins the Tug-of-War Going on in the Stock Market?

Theme park and entertainment company SeaWorld Entertainment (NYSE: SEAS) stock has sunk (-33%) for the year. The operator of SeaWorld and Busch Gardens theme parks has been in a recovery since the reopening after COVID lockdowns were pulled. Vaccinations have been the key to the rebound in attendance which jumped 53.7% in its fiscal Q1 2022 to 3.4 million guests as capacity limitations and social distancing restrictions were relieved. The Company believes there is further recovery due to the strong momentum still not reflecting a normalized environment. International groups are returning as the Company rolls out new attractions and bolsters staffing. Double-digit admission pricing increases have been implemented to mitigate inflationary pressures as its admissions per capita rose 2.5%. SeaWorld has improved the in-park experience with the enhancement of its mobile app which has nearly 1.4 million downloads enabling double-digit in-park and e-commerce purchases. Prudent investors seeking exposure in the theme park entertainment space can watch for opportunistic pullbacks in shares of SeaWorld Entertainment.

Q1 Fiscal 2022 Earnings Release

On May 12, 2022, Six Flags released its fiscal first-quarter 2022 results for the quarter ending March 2022. The Company reported an adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) loss of ($0.12) excluding non-recurring items versus consensus analyst estimates for a loss of (-$0.14), beating estimates by $0.02. Revenues rose 57.5% year-over-year (YOY) to $270.70 million, beating analyst estimates for $263.23 million. Attendance increased by 1.2 million guests YoY to 3.4 million total guests, up 53.7%. Attendance rose 16.4% compared to Q1 2019 pre-pandemic. Adjusted EBITDA was a record $65.9 million, up 161.8% YoY. Total revenue per capita rose 2.5% to a record $79.54 YoY. The Company bought back 1.5 million shares of common stock for approximately $109.9 million. The Company came to the aid of over 300 animals in need in the wild. SeaWorld CEO Mark Swanson commented, “While our first quarter performance was strong and continued our momentum from 2021, we have scope for further recovery as it still does not yet reflect a normalized operating environment. In particular, international and group related visitation is improving, but was not yet back to pre-COVID levels and we have opportunities to improve staffing levels to capture even more in-park spending demand. We are also very fortunate to have an extremely strong balance sheet with $380.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $745.3 million of total available liquidity and a LTM net total leverage ratio of only 2.4x.”

Conference Call Takeaways

CEO Swanson noted the strong momentum from 2021 accelerating into 2022 with record financial results. He feels there’s further recovery as its not yet reflected as a normalized operating environment. International travelers are returning, and pricing power is enabling the Company to offset inflationary cost pressures. The Company opened its first brand new theme park since 2013 Sesame Place San Diego Park. He addressed the debt concerns noting that LTM total leverage ratio has fallen below 2.5X as the Company has over $745 million in total available liquidity consisting of $380 million in cash. This enables SeaWorld to continue making opportunistic investments to bolster shareholder value. The labor market is still tight, but the Company is finding better ways to attract, motivate and retain talent including the use of international labor.
