Revenues from entertainment offerings increased 10% Y/Y to $160.2 million, primarily due to higher revenues subject to the sharing of economics with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, an increase in revenues from the Christmas Spectacular production and higher revenues from venue-related sponsorship, signage and suite licenses fees, partially offset by lower-event related revenues. 

Food, beverage and merchandise revenues increased 1% Y/Y to $45.8 million.

Event-related revenues decreased by $3.6 million due to lower concert revenues.

In addition, the company reported an adjusted operating income of $57.9 million, versus $38.5 million a year ago, primarily due to higher revenues and, to a lesser extent, lower direct operating expenses and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. 

As of March 31, cash and equivalents stood at $89.5 million.

Executive Chairman and CEO James L. Dolan said the company remains on track to deliver solid adjusted operating income growth this fiscal year.
