Forward guidance
The proposed transaction would create a leading entertainment and media company and deliver numerous strategic and financial benefits.
Tailwinds
- The combined company would be well positioned to capitalize on the significant revenue opportunity related to the expansion of legalized mobile sports gaming in its market.
- The new company would also be able to more efficiently utilize MSG Entertainment’s approximately $350 million federal net operating loss as of March 31, 2021 and future bonus depreciation related to MSG Sphere at The Venetian to offset the taxable income of all of its businesses, including MSG Networks, which is a full cash taxpayer.
- The combined company’s enhanced financial flexibility would better position it to pursue current and future growth initiatives across both entertainment and media, including its planned state-of-the-art MSG Sphere venue in Las Vegas.
