Headwinds
- 2024 fiscal fourth quarter results to be impacted by one less sales week versus the comparable prior year period.
- Effect of the 2023 actors strike on this summer’s film slate resulted in a significant year-over-year decline in movie theater attendance, impacting fiscal third quarter sales of frozen beverages, soft pretzels and churros.
- The theater industry expects significant improvement in the back half of the calendar year and next year as the schedule of new releases is much stronger.
- Churros sales were relatively flat, down 0.7% to $30.3 million reflecting lower theater and club channel sales, partially offset by new business growth with a major QSR customer.
- Beverage sales were down 1.1%, or $0.8 million below Q3’23 led by weakness across the theater channel as the industry recovers from the impacts of last years actors strike which led to fewer strong releases and lower attendance.
