MCS Q3 2024 - 4th Largest US Movie Exhibitor RECORD SETTING Results

MCS Q3 2024 - 4th Largest US Movie Exhibitor RECORD SETTING Results. On October 31, 2024 The Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS) reported record results for the third quarter fiscal 2024 ended September 26, 2024. “Results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 were driven by strong contributions from both divisions, with Marcus Hotels & Resorts and Marcus Theatres each significantly outperforming their respective industries,” said Gregory S. Marcus, chief executive officer of The Marcus Corporation. “We delivered record third quarter revenue and earnings in both of our divisions and as a company. Marcus Hotels & Resorts benefited from strong room rates during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, and Marcus Theatres achieved growth with a markedly improved film slate that played particularly well with audiences in our markets. As we look ahead to the remainder of the year and into 2025, we are encouraged by trends within both businesses, including an impressive array of high-quality films headed for the big screen this holiday season and into 2025 and continued improvements in group bookings in our hotel division. Turning to our balance sheet, we completed the retirement of our convertible debt to eliminate any future dilution, and our confidence in the future was also highlighted by our decision to repurchase nearly $10 million of our shares during the quarter.”
