Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(1)Basis of Presentation

During November 2022, the board of directors of Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty” or “Former parent”) authorized Liberty management to pursue a plan to redeem each outstanding share of its Liberty Braves common stock in exchange for one share of the corresponding series of common stock of a newly formed entity, Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (the “Split-Off”). The Split-Off was completed on July 18, 2023 and was intended to be tax-free to holders of Liberty Braves common stock. Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (“Atlanta Braves Holdings” or the “Company”) is comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities previously attributed to the Liberty Braves Group (“Braves Group”), which, as of September 30, 2023, included Atlanta Braves Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary Braves Holdings, LLC (“Braves Holdings”) and corporate cash.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements represent the combination of the historical financial information of the Braves Group until the date of the Split-Off. Although Atlanta Braves Holdings was reported as a combined company until the date of the Split-Off, all periods reported herein are referred to as consolidated. These financial statements refer to the consolidation of Braves Holdings, cash and intergroup interests in the Braves Group (prior to settlement/extinguishment) as "Atlanta Braves Holdings," "the Company," "us," "we" and "our" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Split-Off is accounted for at historical cost due to the pro rata nature of the distribution to holders of Liberty Braves common stock. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 as presented in Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-268922) filed on June 8, 2023.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers (i) fair value measurements of non-financial instruments and (ii) accounting for income taxes to be its most significant estimates.

Description of Business

Braves Holdings indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC,” the “Atlanta Braves,” the “Braves,” the “club,” or the “team”). In addition, Braves Holdings indirectly owned and operated three Professional Development League clubs (the Gwinnett Stripers, Mississippi Braves and Rome Braves) until they were sold in January 2022. ANLBC’s ballpark (“Truist Park” or the “Stadium”), is located in Cobb County, a suburb of Atlanta, and is leased from Cobb County, Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority. Braves Holdings, through affiliated entities and third party development partners, has developed a significant portion of the land around Truist Park for a mixed-use development that features retail, office, hotel and entertainment opportunities (the “Mixed-Use Development”).

The Braves and 29 other Major League baseball clubs are collectively referred to as the Clubs. The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (the “BOC”) is an unincorporated association also doing business as Major League Baseball (“MLB”) and has as its members the Clubs. The Clubs are bound by the terms and provisions of the Major League Constitution and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as well as a series of other agreements and arrangements that govern the operation and management of a Club, which among other things, require each Club to comply with limitations on the amount of debt a Club can incur, revenue sharing arrangements with the other Clubs, commercial arrangements with regard to the national broadcasting of its games and other programming and commercial arrangements relating to the use of its intellectual property.

In January 2022, Braves Holdings sold the three Professional Development League clubs to a third party and recognized a gain of approximately $20.3 million, which was allocated entirely to the baseball reportable segment. Each of the three clubs remain affiliated with Braves Holdings via player development license agreements with MLB Professional Development Leagues, LLC. Additionally, Braves Holdings granted an exclusive, royalty free, sub-licensable, and irrevocable license to use various tradenames and logos. The license fee is included within the total purchase price of approximately $49.4 million.

Split-Off of Atlanta Braves Holdings from Liberty

Prior to the Split-Off, a portion of Liberty’s general and administrative expenses, including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support was allocated to the Braves Group each reporting period based on an estimate of time spent. The Braves Group paid $4.5 million during 2023 prior to the Split-Off and paid $3.5 million and $6.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, for such expenses.

Prior to the Split-Off, the Liberty Formula One Group (the “Formula One Group”) and the Liberty SiriusXM Group held intergroup interests in the Braves Group. The intergroup interests represented quasi-equity interests which were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group had attributed interests in the Braves Group, which were generally stated in terms of a number of shares of Liberty Braves common stock. As of December 31, 2022, 6,792,903 notional shares represented an 11.0% intergroup interest in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group and 1,811,066 notional shares represented a 2.9% intergroup interest in the Braves Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Historically, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock and that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock were used for the mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interests held by the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively, through the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2023, Liberty determined that, in connection with the Split-Off, shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock would be used to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Accordingly, effective as of June 30, 2023 and through the Split-Off date, the market price of Series C Liberty Braves common stock was used for the mark-to market adjustment for the intergroup interest held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group.

The intergroup interests in the Braves Group remaining immediately prior to the Split-Off were settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off through the attribution, to the respective tracking stock group, of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock on a one-for-one basis equal to the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest.

Following the Split-Off, Liberty and Atlanta Braves Holdings operate as separate, publicly traded companies and Liberty owns 1,811,066 shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock.

Within one year following the Split-Off, Liberty intends to either exchange the shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock with one or more third party lenders to satisfy certain of Liberty’s debt obligations or dispose of such shares in one or more public or private sale transactions. Following the exchange or disposal of such shares, neither Liberty nor Atlanta Braves Holdings is expected to have any continuing stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other.

In connection with the Split-Off, Liberty and Atlanta Braves Holdings entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies after the Split-Off and to provide for an orderly transition. These agreements include a reorganization agreement, a services agreement, aircraft time sharing agreements, a facilities sharing agreement, a tax sharing agreement and a registration rights agreement.

The reorganization agreement provides for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions (including the internal restructuring) required to effect the Split-Off, certain conditions to the Split-Off and provisions governing the relationship between Atlanta Braves Holdings and Liberty with respect to and resulting from the Split-Off. The tax sharing agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between Liberty and Atlanta Braves Holdings and other agreements related to tax matters. Pursuant to the services agreement, Liberty provides Atlanta Braves Holdings with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Atlanta Braves Holdings will reimburse Liberty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses and will pay a services fee to Liberty under the services agreement that is subject to adjustment quarterly, as necessary. Additionally, pursuant to the services agreement with Liberty, in connection with Liberty’s employment arrangement with Gregory B. Maffei, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, components of Mr. Maffei’s compensation will either be paid directly to him by each of the Company, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., Liberty Broadband Corporation and Qurate Retail, Inc. (collectively, the “Service Companies”) or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case, based on allocations among Liberty and the Service Companies set forth in the amended services agreement, currently set at 7% for the Company but subject to adjustment on an annual basis and upon the occurrence of certain events. Under the facilities sharing agreement, Atlanta Braves Holdings shares office space with Liberty and related amenities at Liberty’s corporate headquarters. The aircraft time sharing agreements provide for Liberty to lease certain aircraft that it or its subsidiaries own to Atlanta Braves Holdings for use on a periodic, non-exclusive time sharing basis. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement with Liberty, Atlanta Braves Holdings has commenced a registration process to effect the registration of shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings’ Series C common stock that were issued to Liberty in settlement and extinguishment of the intergroup interest in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group.

Under these various agreements, amounts reimbursable to Liberty aggregated $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Seasonality

Braves Holdings revenue is seasonal, with the majority of revenue recognized during the second and third quarters which aligns with the baseball season.

(2)Earnings Attributable to Atlanta Braves Holdings Stockholders Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Atlanta Braves Holdings shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented.

(unaudited)

Excluded from diluted EPS for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are 3 thousand potential common shares because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

The Company issued 61.7 million common shares, which is the aggregate number of shares of Series A, Series B and Series C common stock issued in connection with the Split-Off on July 18, 2023. The number of shares issued upon completion of the Split-Off was used to determine both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as no Company equity awards were outstanding prior to the completion of the Split-Off.


	Three months ended	Nine months ended
	September 30,	September 30,

MLBAM

MLB Advanced Media, L.P. (“MLBAM”) was formed in January 2000 pursuant to a vote of the 30 owners of the Clubs, whereby each Club agreed to cede substantially all of its individual Club internet and interactive media rights to MLBAM for an indirect 3.3% interest in MLBAM. The Company’s investment in MLBAM is considered an equity method investment as the investment is in a limited partnership where significant influence is generally presumed to exist.

At the time of the acquisition of ANLBC by a predecessor of Liberty in 2007, the fair value of the MLBAM investment exceeded ANLBC’s proportionate share of MLBAM’s net assets, resulting in excess basis in the investment in MLBAM. The excess basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was indefinite lived and aggregated approximately $10.3 million.

BELP

Baseball Endowment L.P. (“BELP”) is an investment fund formed by the Clubs principally for the purpose of investing, on a long-term basis, assets on their behalf intended to provide a competitive market rate investment return while minimizing investment volatility. The Company’s investment in BELP is considered an equity method investment as the investment is in a limited partnership where significant influence is generally presumed to exist.

League Wide Credit Facility

In December 2013, a subsidiary of Braves Holdings executed various agreements to enter into MLB’s League Wide Credit Facility (the “LWCF”). Braves Holdings also established a special purpose Delaware statutory trust, the Braves Club Trust (the “Club Trust”), and transferred, among other things, to the Club Trust its rights to receive distributions of revenue from the National Broadcasting Contracts, which secure borrowings under the LWCF. Pursuant to the terms of a revolving credit agreement, Major League Baseball Trust may borrow from certain lenders, with Bank of America, N.A. acting as the administrative agent. Major League Baseball Trust then uses the proceeds of such borrowings to provide loans to the club trusts of the participating Clubs. Major League Baseball Trust has granted Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the collateral agent in respect of the LWCF, a first priority lien to secure the borrowings under the LWCF. The maximum amount available to the Club Trust under the LWCF was $125 million as of September 30, 2023. The commitment termination date of the revolving credit facility under the LWCF, which is the repayment date for all amounts borrowed under such revolving credit facility, is July 10, 2026.

Under the LWCF, the Club Trust can request a revolving credit advance in the form of a Eurodollar or Base Rate loan. Each loan bears interest on the unpaid principal amount from the date made through maturity at a rate determined by the Eurodollar or Base Rate, plus an applicable margin. The interest rate of a Eurodollar loan was one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.20% to 1.325%, based on the credit rating of Major League Baseball Trust. The interest rate of a Base Rate loan was the greater of (x) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (y) the prevailing Prime, and (z) LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a margin of 0.200% to 0.325%, based on the credit rating of Major League Baseball Trust. Beginning in May 2022, interest based on LIBOR under the LWCF was replaced with interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 0.1%.

MLB Facility Fund

In December 2017, a subsidiary of Braves Holdings executed various agreements to enter into the MLB Facility Fund (the “MLBFF”). Braves Holdings also established a special purpose Delaware limited liability company, Braves Facility Fund LLC (“Braves Facility Fund”), and transferred to Braves Facility Fund its rights to receive distributions from the Club Trust, which secure borrowings under the MLBFF. Pursuant to the terms of an indenture, a credit agreement and certain note purchase agreements, Major League Baseball Facility Fund, LLC may borrow from certain lenders. Major League Baseball Facility Fund, LLC then uses the proceeds of such borrowings to provide loans to each of the participating Clubs. Amounts advanced pursuant to the MLBFF are available to fund ballpark and other baseball-related real property improvements, renovations and/or new construction.

Term

In June 2020, Braves Facility Fund converted previous borrowings under a revolving credit advance to a $30 million term note with Major League Baseball Facility Fund, LLC (the “MLB facility fund – term”).

Under a credit agreement, Braves Facility Fund can request a revolving credit advance in the form of a Eurodollar or Base Rate loan. Each loan bears interest on the unpaid principal amount from the date made through maturity at a rate determined by a Eurodollar or Base Rate, plus an applicable margin. The interest rate of a Eurodollar loan was one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.275% to 1.400%, based on the credit rating of Major League Baseball Facility Fund, LLC. The interest rate of a Base Rate loan was the greater of (x) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (y) the prevailing Prime rate, and (z) LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a margin of 0.275% to 0.400%, based on the credit rating of Major League Baseball Facility Fund, LLC. Beginning in May 2022, interest based on LIBOR under the MLB facility fund – revolver was replaced with interest based on the SOFR plus 0.1%. Borrowings outstanding under the MLB facility fund – revolver bore interest at a rate of 6.69% per annum as of September 30, 2023.

TeamCo Revolver

In September 2016, a subsidiary of Braves Holdings amended a revolving credit agreement (the “TeamCo Revolver”) that provided for revolving commitments of $85 million. Under the agreement, Braves Holdings can request a revolving credit loan in the form of a Eurodollar or Base Rate loan. Each loan bears interest on the unpaid principal amount from the date made through maturity at a rate determined by a Eurodollar or Base Rate, plus an applicable margin. The interest rate of a Base Rate loan was the greater of (x) the prevailing Prime rate, (y) the prevailing Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, and (z) LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a margin of 0.25%. In August 2022, the TeamCo Revolver was amended, increasing the borrowing capacity to $150 million, extending the maturity to August 2029 and replacing the Eurodollar interest rate with SOFR. Borrowings outstanding under the TeamCo Revolver bore interest at a rate of 6.57% and the maximum amount available was $140 million as of September 30, 2023. Under the TeamCo Revolver, Braves Holdings must maintain certain financial covenants, including a fixed-charge coverage ratio and total enterprise indebtedness.

Mixed-Use Development Term Debt

In May 2018, a subsidiary of Braves Holdings refinanced a construction loan with a $95 million term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Agreement bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.35% per annum and is scheduled to mature on May 18, 2025. The full principal amount will be due at maturity. At September 30, 2023, Braves Holdings had borrowings of $94.9 million under the Term Loan Agreement, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.1 million. In April 2023, the Term Loan Agreement was amended to change the reference rate on borrowings to daily simple SOFR.

In June 2022, subsidiaries of Braves Holdings refinanced a construction loan agreement that was used to construct an office building within the Mixed-Use Development with a new term loan facility with $125 million in commitments, approximately $22.7 million of which is not available for borrowing as of September 30, 2023, but is expected to be available once certain conditions are met.

At September 30, 2023, Braves Holdings had borrowings outstanding of $68.2 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.6 million.

Fair Value of Debt

Due to the variable rate nature of the LWCF, MLB facility fund – revolver, TeamCo Revolver and the Mixed-Use Development term debt, the Company believes that the carrying amount of such debt approximates fair value at September 30, 2023. The estimated fair value of the senior secured permanent placement notes was $134.4 million as of September 30, 2023, based on current U.S. treasury rates for similar financial instruments.

Atlanta Braves Holdings—Incentive Plans

Prior to the Split-Off and pursuant to the Liberty Media Corporation 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, Liberty granted to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to purchase shares of Liberty Braves common stock (collectively, “Awards”). At the time of the Split-Off, the Awards were exchanged into RSAs, RSUs and stock options to purchase shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings common stock.

Subsequent to the Split-Off, the Company can grant, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, RSAs, RSUs and stock options to purchase shares of its common stock, under the Atlanta Braves Holdings 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) and may grant Awards in respect of a maximum of 7.25 million shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings common stock.

Awards generally vest over 1-5 years and have a term of 7-10 years. The Company issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as RSAs, RSUs and stock options) based on the grant-date fair value (“GDFV”) of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

Atlanta Braves Holdings—Grants of Awards

The Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of Series A or Series B Atlanta Braves Holdings common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

In connection with the CEO’s employment agreement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Liberty granted 31 thousand performance-based RSUs of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock to its CEO. Such RSUs had a GDFV of $34.44 per share and cliff vest one year from the month of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives and based on an amount determined by the Company’s compensation committee. Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of compensation expense recognized. The Company assesses the probability of achieving the performance objectives each reporting period and as satisfaction of the performance objectives is deemed probable, the Company records the associated compensation expense.

The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company estimates the expected term of the options based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for options is based on the historical volatility of Atlanta Braves Holdings common stock (and previously, Liberty Braves common stock) and the implied volatility of publicly traded Atlanta Braves Holdings options (and previously, Liberty Braves options). The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.

(7)Commitments and Contingencies

Collective Bargaining Agreement

In March 2022, the Major League Baseball Players Association (“MLBPA”) and the Clubs entered into a new collective bargaining agreement that covers the 2022-2026 MLB seasons (“CBA”). The start of the 2022 regular season was delayed as a result of the related negotiations, but a full season was completed.

I-21

(unaudited)

The CBA contains provisions surrounding revenue sharing among the Clubs, a competitive balance tax on Club payrolls that exceed specified thresholds, minimum player salary levels, an expanded postseason schedule and other provisions impacting Braves Holdings’ operations and its relationships with members of the MLBPA. Braves Holdings’ minor league players are also parties to a collective bargaining agreement. Approximately 10% of the Company’s labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements.

There are two components of the revenue sharing plan that each Club is subject to under the CBA: a straight base revenue pool (the “Pool”) and the Commissioner Discretionary Fund. The size of the Pool is equal to the total amount transferred if each Club contributed 48% of its prior years’ net defined local revenue (“NDLR”). The contributions per Club are based on a composite of the prior three years’ NDLR and funds are distributed equally to all Clubs. Certain Clubs are disqualified from revenue sharing from the Pool based on market size. Also, each season, the Clubs are required to equally fund a Commissioner’s Discretionary Fund up to $15 million. Club submissions of NDLR are subject to audit by the MLB Revenue Sharing Administrator and are subject to rules issued by the MLB Revenue Sharing Definitions Committee.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Braves Holdings incurred $31.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively, in revenue sharing, which is included as an expense within baseball operating costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Employment Contracts

Long-term employment contracts provide for, among other items, annual compensation for certain players (current and former) and other employees. As of September 30, 2023, amounts payable annually under such contracts aggregated $231.9 million in 2023, $157.6 million in 2024, $143.5 million in 2025, $136.4 million in 2026, $111.2 million in 2027 and $251.2 million, combined, thereafter. Additionally, these contracts may include incentive compensation (although certain incentive compensation awards cannot be earned by more than one player per season).

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, Braves Holdings entered into long-term employment contracts with certain players, pursuant to which approximately $40.3 million is anticipated to be paid through 2026 according to the terms of such contracts, excluding any incentive compensation.

Certain employment contracts with players include salary and bonus payments earned but not yet paid and, in certain situations, related accrued interest specified contractually that is due in varying installments through the year 2023. The present value of these obligations, including accrued interest, is calculated at Braves Holdings’ incremental borrowing rate at the time the contractual obligation arose using an interest rate of 5%.

Diamond Sports Group Bankruptcy

ANLBC has a long-term local broadcasting agreement with Sportsouth Network II, LLC, a subsidiary of Diamond Sports Group, granting its regional cable networks the right to broadcast substantially all of the Braves games not otherwise selected for broadcast within the home television territory of the Braves. In March 2023, Diamond Sports Group filed for chapter 11 protection. As a result of the chapter 11 proceeding, ANLBC may be required to repay up to $34.2 million, the amount remitted to ANLBC during the 90-day preference period preceding the filing. In addition, if the broadcasting agreement is rejected in the bankruptcy proceeding, ANLBC will not receive any revenue from Sportsouth Network II, LLC during the remaining contract term and ANLBC would be required to write-down accounts receivable and contract assets of approximately $45.9 million recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023.

Litigation

Braves Holdings, along with the BOC and other MLB affiliates, has been named in a number of lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of the liability accrual and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. We may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others, because: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) the proceedings are in the relative early stages; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) there remain significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) the relevant law is unsettled; or (vii) the proceedings involve novel or untested legal theories. In such instances, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

(8)Segment Information

The Company, through its ownership of Braves Holdings, is primarily engaged in the entertainment and real estate industries. The Company identifies its reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) or total assets.

The Company evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below). In addition, the Company reviews nonfinancial measures such as attendance, viewership and social media.

The Company has identified the following as its reportable segments:

●

Baseball – operations relating to Braves baseball and Truist Park and includes ticket sales, concessions, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees, broadcasting rights, retail and licensing.

●

Mixed-Use Development – includes retail, office, hotel and entertainment operations within the Battery Atlanta.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, differing revenue sources and marketing strategies.

When consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring services to the customer under the terms of a contract, deferred revenue is recorded. The primary source of the Company’s deferred revenue relates to suite and season ticket arrangements, as well as certain sponsorship arrangements. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when, or as, control of the products or services are transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company had long-term deferred revenue of $16.6 million and $14.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which were included in other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $88.2 million and $71.8 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective year.

Significant portions of the transaction prices for Braves Holdings are related to undelivered performance obligations that are under contractual arrangements that extend beyond one year. The Company anticipates recognizing revenue from the delivery of such performance obligations of approximately $26.0 million for the remainder of 2023, $310.4 million in 2024, $297.4 million in 2025, $672.7 million in 2026 through 2030, and $146.1 million thereafter. We have not included any amounts in the undelivered performance obligations amounts for those performance obligations that relate to a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

For segment reporting purposes, the Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net earnings (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and our audited combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 in the Registration Statement.

Explanatory Note

During November 2022, the board of directors of Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) authorized Liberty management to pursue a plan to redeem each outstanding share of its Liberty Braves common stock in exchange for one share of the corresponding series of common stock of a newly formed entity, Atlanta Braves Holdings (the “Split-Off”). The Split-Off was completed on July 18, 2023 and was intended to be tax-free to holders of Liberty Braves common stock. Atlanta Braves Holdings is comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities previously attributed to the Liberty Braves Group (“Braves Group”), which, as of September 30, 2023, included Atlanta Braves Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary Braves Holdings and corporate cash.

The intergroup interests in the Braves Group held by the Liberty Formula One Group (the “Formula One Group”) and the Liberty SiriusXM Group immediately prior to the Split-Off were settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off through the attribution, to the respective tracking stock group, of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock on a one-for-one basis equal to the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest.

Overview

The Company manages its business based on the following reportable segments: baseball and mixed-use development.

The baseball segment includes operations relating to the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (the “Braves”) and the Braves’ ballpark (“Truist Park” or the “Stadium”) and includes revenue generated from ticket sales, concessions, local broadcasting rights, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees, retail and licensing revenue, shared MLB revenue streams, including national broadcasting rights and licensing, and other sources. Ticket sales, concessions, broadcasting rights and advertising sponsorship sales are the baseball segment’s primary revenue drivers.

The mixed-use development segment includes retail, office, hotel and entertainment operations within The Battery Atlanta (the “Mixed-Use Development”). The Mixed-Use Development derives revenue primarily from office and retail rental income (including overage rent and tenant reimbursements) and, to a lesser extent, parking and advertising sponsorships throughout the year.

Results of Operations –September 30, 2023 and 2022

General. Provided in the tables below is information regarding our historical Condensed Consolidated Operating Results and Other Income and Expense, as well as information regarding the contribution to those items from our reportable segments. The “corporate and other” category consists of those assets which do not qualify as a separate reportable segment.

In December 2021, the collective bargaining agreement, which requires MLB clubs to sign players using a uniform contract, expired and MLB commenced a lockout of the Major League players. As a result of the lockout, the start of the 2022 regular season was delayed.

I-27

Table of Contents

A new five-year collective bargaining agreement was signed in March 2022 and the regular season began in April. Despite the delayed start of the 2022 season, a full regular season was played.

Baseball revenue. Baseball revenue is derived from two primary sources on an annual basis: baseball event revenue (ticket sales, concessions, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees) and broadcasting revenue. The following table disaggregates baseball revenue by source:


	Three months ended September 30,			Nine months ended September 30,
	2023		2022	2023		2022

	amounts in thousands
Baseball event	$	160,794	134,941	$	324,280	281,144

Total Baseball	$	256,266	231,279	$	528,762	478,037

Baseball event revenue increased $25.9 million and $43.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, due to increased ticket demand and attendance at regular season home games. Baseball event revenue also increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to an increase in the number of regular season home games during 2023.

I-28

Table of Contents

Broadcasting revenue increased $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to contractual rate increases, partially offset by a decrease in the number of regular season games. Broadcasting revenue increased $8.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to contractual rate increases and an increase in the number of regular season games. Retail and licensing revenue increased $3.3 million and $5.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, due to increased attendance at regular season home games and demand for City Connect and other apparel, partially offset by a reduction in demand for World Series Champions apparel. Other revenue, a component of baseball revenue, decreased $6.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to fewer concerts at the Stadium. Other revenue decreased $6.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to fewer concerts at the Stadium, partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in spring training related revenue (ticket sales, concession revenue and other gameday related revenue), driven by a six game increase in spring training home games, and revenue from additional special events at Truist Park. The Braves have a long term local television broadcasting agreement with Sportsouth Network II, LLC. Diamond Sports Group, the parent company of Sportsouth Network II, LLC, is in financial distress and has filed for chapter 11 protection. While the pending bankruptcy proceeding of Diamond Sports Group has not previously had a material unfavorable impact on the Company’s revenue and the Company continues to receive scheduled payments from Diamond Sports Group, we cannot currently predict whether such bankruptcy proceeding is reasonably likely to have a material unfavorable impact on our revenue in the future.

Mixed-Use Development revenue. Mixed-Use Development revenue is derived from the mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income and to a lesser extent, parking revenue and sponsorships. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Mixed-Use Development revenue increased $1.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to $1.0 million and $3.6 million increases in rental income, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.7 million increases in sponsorship revenue, respectively. Increases in rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were primarily driven by $0.5 million and $2.2 million increases in tenant recoveries, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.2 million increases primarily related to new lease agreements, respectively.

Baseball operating costs. Baseball operating costs primarily include costs associated with baseball and Stadium operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, baseball operating expenses increased $4.0 million and $40.4 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to $9.8 million and $23.0 million increases in major league player salaries, respectively and $1.9 million and $4.2 million increases in minor league team and player expenses, respectively, partially offset by $2.8 million and $5.3 million decreases in concert expenses at the Stadium, respectively. Additional decreases in baseball operating costs during the three months ended September 30, 2023 were due to $3.7 million decreases under MLB’s revenue sharing plan, as well as other shared expenses. Additional increases in baseball operating costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were due to $4.7 million of increases in variable concession and retail operating costs, $3.5 million of increases under MLB’s revenue sharing plan and other shared expenses, $3.6 million of increases in major league team expenses and $2.9 million of increased spring training related expenses (facility and game day operations, travel, and other variable expenses) due to the impact of additional games in 2023.

Mixed-Use Development costs. Mixed-Use Development costs primarily include costs associated with maintaining and operating the mixed-use facilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Mixed-Use Development costs were relatively flat, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation. Selling, general and administrative expense includes costs of marketing, advertising, finance and related personnel costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $6.4 million and $11.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by costs related to the Split-off.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation was relatively flat during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Impairment of long-lived assets and other related costs. Impairment of long-lived assets and other related costs includes charges associated with hurricane damage to the Atlanta Braves’ spring training facility located in North Port, Florida.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was relatively flat during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, due to various assets becoming fully depreciated.

Operating income (loss). Operating income increased $20.4 million and operating loss improved $9.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, due to the above explanations.

Adjusted OIBDA. To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we also disclose Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges. Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net earnings (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following table provides a reconciliation of Operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA:

Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA increased $15.8 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Baseball Adjusted OIBDA increased $18.8 million and $10.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due the fluctuations in baseball revenue and operating costs, as described above.

Table of Contents

Mixed-Use Development Adjusted OIBDA increased $1.0 million and $3.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to the fluctuations in Mixed-Use Development revenue and costs, as described above.

Corporate and Other Adjusted OIBDA loss increased $4.0 million and $10.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to increases in costs related to the Split-Off.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.7 million and $7.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt.

Share of earnings (losses) of affiliates. The following table presents our share of earnings (losses) of affiliates:

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on intergroup interests, net. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interests were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock. However, Liberty historically assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock and the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock were used for the mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interests held by Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively, through the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2023, Liberty determined that, in connection with the Split-Off, shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock would be used to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Accordingly, effective as of June 30, 2023 and through the Split-Off date, the market price of Series C Liberty Braves common stock was used for the mark-to market adjustment for the intergroup interest held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Unrealized gains (losses) on intergroup interests were driven by changes in the market prices of Liberty Braves common stock. As disclosed above, the intergroup interests were settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net are comprised of changes in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps driven by changes in interest rates.

Gains (losses) on dispositions, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain on the disposition of a non-financial asset. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized a gain on disposition related to the sale of its three Professional Development League clubs, the Gwinnett Stripers, Mississippi Braves and Rome Braves.

Other, net. Other income, net increased $1.0 million and $2.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to increases in dividend and interest income.

Income tax (expense) benefit		(8,256)	(2,248)		(2,104)	(5,465)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized additional tax expense related to intergroup interest losses that are not deductible for tax purposes. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized additional tax expense related to intergroup interest losses that are not deductible for tax purposes and for the effect of state income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized additional tax expense related to the effect of state income taxes and the reduction of goodwill as a result of the sale of the Professional Development League Clubs that is not deductible for tax purposes, partially offset by tax benefits related to intergroup interest gains that are not taxable.

Net earnings (loss). The Company had net losses of $6.0 million and $92.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and net losses of $29.9 million and net earnings of $10.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The changes in net earnings (loss) were the result of the above-described fluctuations in our revenue, expenses and other gains and losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $106.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. Treasury securities, other government securities or government guaranteed funds, AAA rated money market funds and other highly rated financial and corporate debt instruments.

As stated in note 5 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, Braves Holdings is in compliance with all financial debt covenants as of September 30, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s primary uses of cash were capital expenditures and debt service, funded primarily by cash from operations and new borrowings on construction loans.

The Company’s uses of cash are expected to be payments to certain players, coaches and executives pursuant to long-term employment agreements, capital expenditures, investments in real estate ventures and debt service payments. The Company expects to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand, cash provided by operations and through borrowings under construction loans and revolvers. We believe that the available sources of liquidity are sufficient to cover our projected future uses of cash.

Sources of Liquidity

The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, cash generated by Braves Holdings’ operating activities (to the extent such cash exceeds Braves Holdings’ working capital needs and is not otherwise restricted), net proceeds from asset sales, debt borrowings under the LWCF, the MLBFF and the TeamCo Revolver (each as defined below) and dividend and interest receipts.

League Wide Credit Facility

In December 2013, a subsidiary of Braves Holdings executed various agreements to enter into MLB’s League Wide Credit Facility (the “LWCF”). Pursuant to the terms of a revolving credit agreement, Major League Baseball Trust may borrow from certain lenders, with Bank of America, N.A. acting as the administrative agent. Major League Baseball Trust then uses the proceeds of such borrowings to provide loans to the club trusts of the participating Clubs, including the Braves Club Trust (the “Club Trust”). The maximum amount available to the Club Trust under the LWCF was $125 million as of September 30, 2023.

I-32

Table of Contents

The commitment termination date of the revolving credit facility under the LWCF, which is the repayment date for all amounts borrowed under such revolving credit facility, is July 10, 2026.

MLB Facility Fund Revolver

In December 2017, a subsidiary of Braves Holdings executed various agreements to enter into the MLB Facility Fund (the “MLBFF”). Pursuant to the terms of an indenture, a credit agreement and certain note purchase agreements, Major League Baseball Facility Fund, LLC may borrow from certain lenders. Major League Baseball Facility Fund, LLC then uses the proceeds of such borrowings to provide loans to each of the participating Clubs. Amounts advanced pursuant to the MLBFF are available to fund ballpark and other baseball-related real property improvements, renovations and/or new construction.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities and the conduct of operations. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices and interest rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities, which include fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest rate swap arrangements when we deem appropriate.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $69.9 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 6.9% and $489.2 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%.
