We generated record financial results and our business continued to perform well due to the strength of our content and brand, which drove audience engagement and monetization across multiple platforms,\u201d said Nick Khan, WWE Chief Executive Officer. \u201cIn 2023, we\u2019re focused on continuing to execute on our key operational initiatives, such as the domestic licensing of our flagship programs,\u00a0<em>Raw<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>SmackDown<\/em>, as well as the international licensing of our content in key markets. At the same time, we\u2019re focused on the review of strategic alternatives that we announced earlier this year, with the goal of maximizing value for all shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank Riddick, WWE President &amp; Chief Financial Officer, added, \u201cFor the year, we achieved record revenue and Adjusted OIBDA, which was at the very high end of our upwardly revised guidance range. In 2022, Adjusted OIBDA increased 19% reflecting 18% revenue growth. Our financial performance was primarily driven by the return to a full year of ticketed live events, including the staging of two large-scale international events, as well as the contractual escalation of rights fees for our flagship weekly programming and premium live events. In 2023, we anticipate Adjusted OIBDA of $395 to $410 million, reflecting continued revenue growth and relatively flat operating expenses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fourth-Quarter Consolidated Results<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"prowr-487755408\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Revenue<\/strong>\u00a0increased 5% to $325.3 million, primarily due to an increase in network revenues related to the timing of premium live events as well as higher monetization of third-party original programming. These increases were partially offset by a decline in consumer products licensing and eCommerce revenue. Results also included the staging of a large-scale international event in both the current and prior year periods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Operating Income<\/strong>\u00a0decreased 22%, or $17.9 million, to $62.7 million, as the increase in revenue was offset by an increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by higher costs to support the creation of content. To a lesser extent, costs associated with the Special Committee investigation and related matters as well as higher stock compensation expense also contributed to the increase in operating expenses. (See the \u201cSpecial Committee Investigation and Related Matters\u201d discussion for further details.) The Company\u2019s operating income margin decreased to 19% from 26%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjusted OIBDA<\/strong>\u00a0decreased 4% to $90.2 million. The Company\u2019s Adjusted OIBDA margin decreased to 28% from 30%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Net Income<\/strong>\u00a0was $38.8 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, a decrease from $60.9 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, primarily reflecting the decrease in operating performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cash flows generated by operating activities<\/strong>\u00a0were $120.3 million, an increase from $46.6 million, as lower net income was more than offset by the favorable timing of collections associated with the Company\u2019s large-scale international events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Cash Flow3<\/strong>\u00a0was $43.0 million, an increase from $31.8 million, as the increase in cash flow generated by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $71.7 million of capital expenditures related to its new headquarter facility. Excluding the capital expenditures related to the new headquarter facility, Free Cash Flow for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $114.7 million.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Return of Capital to Shareholders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Company returned $8.9 million of capital to shareholders in dividends in the fourth quarter of 2022. There were no share repurchases under the Company\u2019s existing stock repurchase program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Year 2022 Consolidated Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Revenue<\/strong>\u00a0increased 18%, or $196.3 million, to $1.3 billion, primarily due to the increased monetization of content, the return to a full year of ticketed live events and the staging of an additional large-scale international event in 2022.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-1026925009\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Operating Income<\/strong>\u00a0increased 11%, or $27.3 million, to $283.3 million, as the increase in revenue was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

Excluding the capital expenditures related to the new headquarter facility, Free Cash Flow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $296.3 million.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments<\/strong>\u00a0were $478.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

(as described above) was offset by an increase in operating costs, including event-related expenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjusted OIBDA<\/strong>\u00a0decreased to $0.8 million as compared to $1.6 million.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Year 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Revenue<\/strong>\u00a0increased 113%, or $65.3 million, to $123.1 million, primarily due to an increase in North American ticket sales as a result of a return to full year ticketed live events. International ticket sales increased primarily due to the staging of a major stadium event,\u00a0<em>Clash at the Castle<\/em>. There were 231 total ticketed live events in 2022, consisting of 218 events in North America and 13 events in international markets. Average attendance at the Company\u2019s North American events was approximately 6,100. In 2021, the Company staged 101 total ticketed live events, consisting of 88 events in North America and 13 events in international markets. Average attendance at the Company\u2019s North American events was approximately 6,900 in 2021.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Operating income\u00a0<\/strong>increased 262%, or $18.1 million, to $25.0 million, as the increase in revenue (as described above) was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by an increase in event-related expenses, largely due to the increase in the number of events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjusted OIBDA<\/strong>\u00a0increased 253%, or $19.5 million, to $27.2 million.<\/p>\n<p><em>Consumer Products<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fourth-Quarter 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Revenue<\/strong>\u00a0decreased 33%, or $10.8 million, to $21.8 million, primarily due to a decrease in licensing and eCommerce revenue. Licensing revenue reflected an increase in collectibles more than offset by a decline in video games, due primarily to timing. As previously disclosed, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company revised its estimates related to revenue recognition for certain licensing agreements with minimum guarantees. This change in estimates negatively impacted licensing revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in eCommerce revenue primarily related to the previously disclosed transition of our digital retail platform to\u00a0<em>Fanatics<\/em>. The structure of the\u00a0<em>Fanatics<\/em>\u00a0partnership resulted in a reduction of revenue as the activity is now recorded on a \u201cnet\u201d, as opposed to \u201cgross\u201d,

The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by lower eCommerce expenses in connection with the transition of our digital retail platform to\u00a0<em>Fanatics<\/em>\u00a0(as described above).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjusted OIBDA\u00a0<\/strong>decreased 27%, or $3.5 million, to $9.4 million.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Year 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Revenue<\/strong>\u00a0increased 33%, or $33.3 million, to $134.5 million, primarily due to an increase in licensing and venue merchandise revenue. The increase in licensing revenue primarily related to growth in collectibles revenue as well as higher sales of licensed video games, including our franchise game\u00a0<em>WWE 2K22<\/em>. The increase in venue merchandise revenue was primarily due to the return to a full year of ticketed live events. eCommerce revenue decreased due to difficult comparisons to elevated Covid-related sales in 2021 as well as the accounting treatment related to the transition of our digital retail platform to\u00a0<em>Fanatics\u00a0<\/em>(as<em>\u00a0<\/em>discussed above).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Operating income\u00a0<\/strong>increased 61%, or $20.6 million, to $54.4 million, as the increase in revenue (as described above) was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by an increase in variable costs associated with the sales activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjusted OIBDA\u00a0<\/strong>increased 59%, or $21.1 million, to $56.6 million.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2023 Business Outlook2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Company is targeting Adjusted OIBDA of $395 &#8211; $410 million for the full year 2023, which would be another all-time record result. The Company also expects to generate another year of all-time record revenue in 2023. This anticipated performance reflects an expected increase in media rights fees for the Company\u2019s flagship weekly programming and premium live events, as well as a full live events touring schedule, including two large-scale international events, and an increase in advertising and sponsorship revenues. The Company anticipates that 2023 operating expenses will be relatively flat as an increase in costs to support the creation of content are offset by a decline in third-party original programming expenses, due to the timing of the production of premium WWE-themed series and specials, as well as a decline in eCommerce expenses as a result of the transition of the Company\u2019s digital retail platform to\u00a0<em>Fanatics<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Management believes WWE is well positioned to capitalize on significant future opportunities. In 2023, key initiatives that could have meaningful implications on the Company\u2019s performance include the renewal of the domestic licensing agreement for\u00a0<em>NXT<\/em>, the renewal of licensing agreements for WWE content in certain international markets, the monetization of new third-party original programming, growth in advertising and sponsorship sales, and the performance of the latest installment of the Company\u2019s flagship video game franchise,\u00a0<em>WWE 2K23<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Providing perspective on WWE\u2019s targeted revenue growth and Adjusted OIBDA outlook, Mr. Riddick commented, \u201cWe continue to believe that WWE has significant long-term growth opportunities and is well positioned, particularly given our substantial cash and capital resources, to deliver on its strategic initiatives. In 2023, we will continue to evaluate our financial performance, balancing Adjusted OIBDA growth with increased investment that will support our ability to deliver appealing content, strengthen our engagement with a broadening audience, and drive long-term shareholder value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>2023 Capital Expenditures Outlook2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For 2023, the Company estimates total capital expenditures of $150 &#8211; $170 million, including $105 &#8211; $120 million related to its previously disclosed new headquarter facility, with the remainder primarily related to the maintenance and enhancement of existing production and enterprise technology infrastructure. In 2023, the Company expects to complete the build out of its new headquarter facility. The Company expects total capital expenditures to be approximately 4% &#8211; 5% of revenue once the build out of the new headquarters has been completed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Quarter 2023 Business Outlook2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Company estimates first quarter 2023 Adjusted OIBDA of $65 &#8211; $75 million. The estimate primarily reflects a shift in the timing of the staging of a large-scale international event, which occurred in the first quarter of 2022 but is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2023. Revenue is expected to decline year-over-year as increases related to the contractual escalation of media rights fees for the Company\u2019s flagship weekly programming,\u00a0<em>Raw<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>SmackDown<\/em>, are offset by the absence of the large-scale international event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strategic Alternatives Review Process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As previously disclosed, Vincent K. McMahon, the Company\u2019s Executive Chairman and shareholder with a controlling interest, in cooperation with WWE\u2019s management team and Board of Directors, announced the intent to undertake a review of strategic alternatives with the goal of maximizing value for all WWE shareholders. There can be no assurances given regarding the outcome or timing of this strategic alternatives review process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Committee Investigation and Related Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As previously announced, a Special Committee of independent members of the Board of Directors was formed to investigate alleged misconduct by Vincent K. McMahon and another executive, who is no longer with the Company. In November 2022, the Company disclosed that the Special Committee investigation had been completed and the Special Committee had been disbanded. For the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2022, the Company\u2019s consolidated pre-tax results included the impact of $2.3 million and $21.7 million, respectively, of expenses related to the Special Committee investigation. Mr. McMahon has agreed to reimburse the Company for reasonable expenses related to the Special Committee investigation, net of any insurance proceeds. For the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2022, the Company\u2019s consolidated pre-tax results also included the impact of $7.4 million of expenses reflecting certain payments that Mr. McMahon has agreed to make (including amounts paid and payable in the future). The $7.4 million of payments were or will be paid by Mr. McMahon personally. Please see the Company\u2019s SEC filings, including, but not limited to, its annual report on Form 10-K\/A and Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q\/A and Form 10-Q for further details and ongoing risks regarding this matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, the Company\u2019s consolidated pre-tax results included the impact of a $6.7 million gain from the reduction of leased space as part of an amendment to its new Stamford headquarters lease. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, the Company\u2019s consolidated pre-tax results included $8.1 million in severance expense recorded in the second quarter of 2021 associated with the combination of WWE\u2019s television, digital and studios teams into one organization.

Adjusted OIBDA includes amortization and depreciation expenses directly related to supporting the operations of our segments, including content production asset amortization, depreciation and amortization of costs related to content delivery and technology assets utilized for the\u00a0<em>WWE Network<\/em>, as well as amortization of right-of-use assets related to finance leases of equipment used to produce and broadcast our live events. The Company believes the presentation of Adjusted OIBDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows them to view the Company\u2019s segment performance in the same manner as the primary method used by management to evaluate segment performance and to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Additionally, the Company believes that Adjusted OIBDA is a primary measure used by media investors, analysts and peers for comparative purposes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjusted OIBDA<\/strong>\u00a0is a non-GAAP financial measure and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

WWE views net cash provided by operating activities as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Although it is not a recognized measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, Free Cash Flow provides useful information regarding the amount of cash WWE\u2019s continuing business generates after capital expenditures and is available for reinvesting in the business, debt service, share repurchases and payment of dividends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Additional business metrics are made available to investors on the corporate website &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fcorporate.wwe.com%2Finvestors&amp;esheet=53300767&amp;newsitemid=20230202005758&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=corporate.wwe.com%2Finvestors&amp;index=1&amp;md5=0cdd529c21deb231ecc4e930226035cb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corporate.wwe.com\/investors<\/a>.
