United Parks & Resorts reports Q3 EPS , consensus $2.22

Reports Q3 revenue $545.9M, consensus $550.47M. Attendance was 7M guests. Total revenue per capita increased 1% to $77.66. “We are pleased to report another quarter of solid financial results, said Marc Swanson, Chief Executive Officer of United Parks & Resorts Inc. “Third quarter results were impacted by both a negative calendar shift and meaningfully worse weather, including Hurricane Debby in August and Hurricane Helene in September. The combined impact of the calendar shift and the meaningfully worse weather was approximately 320,000 guests, adjusting for these impacts, attendance would have increased approximately 3% compared to the prior year quarter, as we continue to see strong demand for our parks during normalized operating conditions and we are growing total revenue per capita. Our investments and strategies related to our in-park revenue areas continue to pay off as we again delivered record in-park per capita spending during the quarter which makes for 17 of the last 18 quarters of growth.”
