SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”("SEC") for reporting interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes in our prospectus dated April 28, 2021, filed withAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the SEC on April 30, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (referred to herein as the “Prospectus”).year ended December 31, 2021. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 20212022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company concluded there was a revision required to the presentation of Zuffa Parent, LLC’s (“Zuffa”) distributions to Silver Lake and the related issuances of common stock units and the convertible promissory note by the Company in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the first three quarters of 2020. Such distributions and related issuances are described in Note 12. The Company originally reported these distributions and the related issuances as financing cash flows rather than correctly presenting them as
non-cash
financing activities in the supplemental cash flow disclosures. These items had no impact on the reported amount of net cash provided by financing activities for these periods. The Company has revised its statement of consolidated cash flows and the supplemental cash flow disclosures for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to present these distributions and related issuances as
non-cash
activities and will prospectively revise, in connection with future filings, its statement of cash flows and supplemental cash flow disclosures for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying disclosures.

Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, content cost amortization and impairment, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and the assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, consolidation, investments, redeemable

non-controlling
interests, the fair value of equity-based compensation, tax receivable agreements liability, income taxes and contingencies.

Management evaluates these estimates using historical experience and other factors, including the general economic environment and actions it may take in the future. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. However, these estimates may involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. In addition, these estimates are based on management’s best judgment at a point in time and as such, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results. Changes in estimates resulting from weakness in the economic environment or other factors beyond the Company’s control could be material and would be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future periods.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Earnings per Share
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to our Class A Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income available for common stockholders by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for that period. Diluted EPS includes the determinants of basic EPS and, in addition, reflects the dilutive effect
of
additional shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in exchange for vested Units of Endeavor Manager LLC and Endeavor Operating Company, as well as under the Company’s share based compensation plans (if dilutive), with adjustments to net income available for common stockholders for dilutive potential common shares.
The Company may be required to calculate basic EPS using the two-class method as a result of our redeemable non-controlling interests. To the extent that the redemption value increases and exceeds the then-current fair value of a redeemable non-controlling interest, net income available to common stockholders (used to calculate EPS) could be negatively impacted by that increase, subject to certain limitations. The partial or full recovery of any reductions to net income available to common stockholders (used to calculate EPS) is limited to any cumulative prior-period reductions. There was no impact to EPS for adjustments related to our redeemable non-controlling interests.

The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and subject to change as we finalize purchase price allocations, which is expected within one year of the respective acquisitions.
2020 ACQUISITIONS
On Location Events, LLC
In January 2020, the Company acquired On Location Events, LLC, dba On Location Experiences (“OLE”) for total consideration of $441.1 million consisting of cash consideration of $366.4 million; rollover equity, representing 13.5% of the equity interest of OLE, valued at $65.2 million and a contingent premium payment, as discussed below, valued at $9.5 million. The rollover equity is held by 32 Equity, LLC (“32 Equity”), the strategic investment firm affiliated with the National Football League (“NFL”). OLE is party to a Commercial License Agreement (“CLA”) with NFL
Properties
, LLC, an affiliate of the NFL, which provides OLE with the right to operate as the official hospitality partner of the NFL.
14

As part of the acquisition, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OLE’s parent entity, Endeavor OLE Parent, LLC (“OLE Parent”), with 32 Equity. The terms of the agreement provide 32 Equity with certain call rights to acquire additional common units in OLE Parent and liquidity rights. At any time on or prior to April 1, 2022, 32 Equity has the right to purchase that amount of additional common units of OLE Parent from the Company that would result in 32 Equity having an aggregate ownership percentage interest in OLE Parent of 32%, at a
price
per unit equal to the original acquisition price of its rollover equity. Between April 1, 2022 and April 1, 2024, 32 Equity has an additional right to purchase that amount of additional common units of OLE Parent from the Company that would result in 32 Equity having an aggregate percentage interest in OLE Parent equal to 44.9% at a price per unit equal to the greater of the original acquisition price of its rollover equity and an amount based on a 15x EBITDA multiple of OLE Parent. The agreement also provides 32 Equity with certain rights to put its common units in OLE Parent to the Company upon a termination of the CLA or its option on or after January 2, 2025 (the “Lockup Period”). The Company also has certain call rights to require 32 Equity to sell its common units in OLE Parent to the Company upon a termination of the CLA in the event aforementioned put rights are not exercised. The put/call price is an amount equal to fair market value and the exercise of these put/call rights may give rise to an obligatio
n
of the Company to make a premium payment to 32 Equity in certain circumstances. At any time following the Lockup Period, 32 Equity will be entitled to a $41.0 million premium payment from the Company if both (i) 32 Equity or the Company exercise the put/call rights described above or there is a sale or IPO of OLE Parent and (ii) certain performance metrics based on average OLE gross profit or NFL related business gross profit are achieved. The $
41.0
 million premium payment will also be payable if, prior to January 2, 2026, a sale or IPO of OLE Parent occurs or if 32 Equity exercises its put rights following a termination of the CLA due to an OLE event of default (in which case the $
41.0
 million premium payment may be subject to proration).
On Location Experiences is a premium experiential hospitality business that serves iconic rights holders with extensive experience in ticketing, curated hospitality, live event production and travel management in the worlds of sports and entertainment. Operations include Anthony Travel, CID Entertainment, Future Beat, Kreate Inc., PrimeSport and Steve Furgal’s International Tennis Tours. OLE is included in the Events, Experiences & Rights segment.
The Company incurred $13.7 million of transaction related costs in connection with the acquisition. These costs were expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The goodwill for the OLE acquisition was assigned to the Events, Experiences & Rights segment. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the
go-to-market
synergies that are expected to arise as a result of the acquisition and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is partially deductible for tax purposes. The weighted average life of finite-lived intangible assets acquired is 10.7 years.

Other 2020 Acquisition
On March 20, 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the membership interests of PIMGSA LLP for a total transaction price of $37.0 million, which is to be paid on various dates and amounts. Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned a 50% membership interest of PIMGSA LLP and was accounted for under the equity method. PIMGSA LLP trades under the name FC Diez Media and provides a complete and global sports media service, sponsorship and digital agency, formed exclusively to serve the South American Football Confederation. The Company recorded $8.6 million and $46.4 million of goodwill and a finite-lived contract based intangible asset, respectively. The finite-lived intangible asset has a useful life of 2 years. The Company also recognized a gain of $27.1 million for the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the previously held membership interest. The gain was included in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.
2020 DECONSOLIDATION
In 2011, the Company and Asian Tour Limited (“AT”) formed a venture, Asian Tour Media Pte Ltd. LTD (“ATM”), for the commercial exploitation of certain Asian Tour events. As of December 31, 2019, ATM was a consolidated subsidiary of the Company as the Company had control over ATM’s operating decisions. The shareholders’ agreement included a provision whereby, if certain financial conditions were met as of December 31, 2019, a change in the corporate governance structure would be implemented as of January 1, 2020. Such financial conditions were met as of December 31, 2019, resulting in a change in the corporate governance such that the Company no longer maintains control over the operating decisions of ATM. The Company determined that the 50% ownership interest would be accounted for under the equity method as of January 1, 2020. On January 1, 2020, the Company derecognized all the assets and liabilities of ATM and recognized an $8.1 million gain for the difference between the carrying value of the assets and liabilities and fair value of the Company’s 50% ownership interest. The gain was included in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value hierarchy is composed of the following three categories:

Level

1
—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level

2
—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level

3
—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurements.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted under the Company’s 2021 Plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $9.54.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Management is required to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility is based on comparable publicly traded companies’ stock movements. The expected life represents the period of time that the respective awards are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. All stock options exercised will be settled in Class A common stock. The key assumptions used for stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are as follows:

CEO and Executive Chairman Market-Based Incentive Awards
In March 2019, the Company issued equity-based compensation awards in Endeavor and in Zuffa to the Company’s CEO (each a “Future Incentive Award”). The Future Incentive Awards were each based on achievement of various equity value thresholds of Endeavor and of Zuffa. In May 2021, the Company’s CEO received a RSU award covering
520,834 
shares of the Company’s Class A common stock following the achievement of one agreed upon increase in equity value of Zuffa under his Zuffa Incentive Future
Award.

One-third13. INCOME TAXES

of such RSUs were vested upon grant and the remaining will vest in two equal installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. The Endeavor and Zuffa Future Incentive Awards were cancelled in connection with the IPO and were replaced with an award of performance-vesting RSUs.
Each of the Company’s
CEO and
Executive Chairman received an award of performance-vesting RSUs pursuant to which
 they are eligible to receive a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with a specified target value
each time the price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock (calculated based on volume weighted average price thereof)
exceeds an applicable threshold price above the public offering price of $24.00.
One-third
of any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock received upon achievement of any applicable threshold price will be vested upon grant and the remainder of such shares will vest in two equal installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. The first price threshold was achieved for the Company’s CEO on June 10, 2021. These performance-vesting RSUs will expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.
The performance-vesting RSUs awarded to the CEO and Executive Chairman of the Company (each a “Market-Based Incentive Award”) are accounted for under ASC 718 as equity-classified awards due to the fixed number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock each of the CEO and the Executive Chairman will be eligible for upon the achievement of each respective threshold. Compensation cost for performance-based awards with a market condition is recognized regardless of the number of units that vest based on the market condition and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated service period. Compensation expense is not reversed even if the market condition is not satisfied. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value and the derived service periods of these Market-Based Incentive Awards
.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, total equity-based compensation expense for these Market-Based Incentive Awards was $
23.5 
million and the Company reclassified the $27.0 million of long term liabilities from the Future Incentive Awards to additional paid in capital. As of June 30, 2021, total unrecognized equity-based compensation related to these CEO and Executive Chairman Market-Based Incentive Awards was
$285.7
million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately
 2.57 years.

EGH was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in January 2019. It was formed as a holding company for the purpose of completing an IPO and other related transactions. As the sole managing member of Endeavor Manager, which is the sole managing member of EOC, EGH operates and controls all the business and affairs of EOC, and through EOC and its subsidiaries, conducts the Company’s business. EGH is subject to corporate income tax on its share of taxable income or loss of EOC derived through Endeavor Manager. EOC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. corporate income tax. However, certain of EOC’s subsidiaries are subject to U.S. or foreign corporate income tax.

In accordance with ASC Topic 740, each interim period is considered integral to the annual period and tax expense is generally determined using an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate (“AETR”("AETR"). The Company would record income tax expense each quarter using the estimated AETR to provide for income taxes on a current

year-to-date
basis, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are noted in the relevant period. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes in interim periods, the Company computed its income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 based upon the AETR. Utilizing the AETR in 2020 would not have provided a reliable estimate of the tax provision based on the forecasted impact of
COVID-19
on the Company’s operations and overall economy. Therefore, in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes in interim periods, EOC computed its income tax

The provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 based upon the actual effective tax rate for that period.

The provision for
(benefit from)
income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 is $60.9$2.7 million and $(4.0)$60.9 million, respectively, based on pretax
losses
income (loss) of $412.0$84.8 million and $301.8$(412.0) million, respectively. The effective tax rate is
(

)
3.2% and 1.3%(14.8%) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.
The (benefit from) provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 is $66.0$(14.5) million and $44.6$66.0 million, respectively, based on pretax lossesincome (loss) of $389.1$605.9 million and $292.7$(389.1) million, respectively.

is (17.0%(2.4%) and (15.2%(17.0%) for
the
six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021
2022 differs
from the same periodsperiod in 2020
2021 primarily
due to the impactrelease of additional stock compensation expensea $53.7 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets during the
AETR, six months ended June 30, 2022. The release of the valuation allowance was due to the expected realization of certain tax benefits in connection with the recording of a TRA liability. In addition, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, $7.4 million of deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite lived intangibles were recorded as a result of the IPO and tax expense of $10.2 million was recorded related to a change in the tax rate in the United Kingdom. Any tax balances reflected on the June 30, 20212022 balance sheet would be adjusted accordingly to reflect the actual financial results for the year ending December 31, 2021.
2022.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to partnership income not subject to income tax,tax; state and local income taxes,taxes; withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions that are not based on net incomeincome; and income subject to tax in foreign jurisdictions which differ from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate andas well as the relative amount of income earned in those jurisdictions.

As of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $36.3$41.6 million and $34.4$40.0 million, respectively, for which we are unable to make a reasonable and reliable estimate of the period in which these liabilities will be settled with the respective tax authorities.

The Company records valuation allowances against its net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered based on all available positive and negative evidence, including historical results, reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and results of operations. Based on this analysis,During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company released a $53.7 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets due to the expected realization of certain tax benefits based on estimates of future taxable income. The Company has concluded that itsdetermined the remaining net deferred tax assets at EGH, exclusive of deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite lived intangibles, will not be realized and as a result, has recorded a full valuation allowance as of June 30, 2021.

2022.

Tax Receivable Agreements

In connection with the IPO and related transactions, the Company entered into tax receivable agreements (“TRAs”)TRAs with certain persons that held direct or indirect interests in EOC and Zuffa prior to the IPO, (“including management of the Company ("TRA Holders”Holders"). The TRAs generally provide for the payment by EGH of 85%85% of the amount of any tax benefits that EGH actually realizes, or in some cases is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in EGH’s share of the tax basis in the net assets of EOC resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units, (ii) increases in tax basis attributable to payments made under the TRAs, (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRAs and (iv) other tax attributes allocated to EGH post-IPO and related transactions that were allocable to the TRA Holders prior to the IPO and related transactions.

The

As noted above, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company released a valuation allowance of $53.7 million. In connection with the expected realization of certain tax benefits including deferred tax assets, the Company recorded an additional $55.5 million TRA liability. With the exception of the above, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance with respect to the remaining deferred tax assets subject to the TRA. Certain other tax attributes subject to

24


If the TRA do not result in deferred tax assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company has recognized a TRA liability on a portion of such attributes of approximately

$32 million, after concluding that such TRA payments would be probable based on estimates of future taxable income over the terms of the TRAs. The amounts payable under the TRAs will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of EGH in the future. If theexisting valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets applicable to the tax attributes referenced above is released in a future period as a result of having sufficient taxable income, among other criteria, or other tax attributes subject to the TRATRAs are determined to be payable, additional TRA liabilities may be considered probable at that timerecorded. If the relevant criteria are met in 2022, the Company would release a valuation allowance and recorded within our statementrecord the associated TRA liability, each of operations.which we would expect to be material.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Claims and Litigation

The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims and governmental investigations arising in the normal course of business. The types of allegations that arise in connection with such legal proceedings vary in nature, but can include contract, employment, tax and intellectual property matters. The Company evaluates all cases and records liabilities for losses from legal proceedings when the Company determines that it is probable that the outcome will be unfavorable and the amount, or potential range, of loss can be reasonably estimated. While any outcome related to litigation or such governmental proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the outcome of these matters, except as otherwise may be discussed below, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

An employee of the Company is one of several individuals and entities named in a complaint by India’s Director of Enforcement (“DE”("DE"), initially filed in January 2015, alleging violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (“FEMA”("FEMA"). The complaint alleges that the employee participated as an advisor in a series of transactions in 2009 that were completed by and on behalf of a client, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (the “BCCI”"BCCI"), and that contravened two provisions of FEMA. The subject transactions were pursued under the direction and control of one of the BCCI’s board members. The Company is not alleged to have possessed any funds improperly or to have made or received any of the payments that are alleged to have violated FEMA. The Company is cooperating with the DE’s investigation which, at present, is in its early stages.

In July 2017, the Italian Competition Authority (“ICA”("ICA") issued a decision opening an investigation into alleged breaches of competition law in Italy, involving inter alia IMG, and relating to bidding for certain media rights of the Serie A and Serie B football leagues. In April 2018, the European Commission conducted

on-site
inspections at a number of companies that are involved with sports media rights, including the Company. The inspections were part of an ongoing investigation into the sector and into potential violations of certain antitrust laws that may have taken place within it. The Company investigated these ICA matters, as well as other regulatory compliance matters. In May 2019, the ICA completed its investigation and fined the Company approximately EUR 0.3 million. As part of its decision, the ICA acknowledged the Company’s cooperation and ongoing compliance efforts since the investigation commenced. In July 2019, three football clubs and in June 2020, the Serie A football league (Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A or “Lega Nazionale”,"Lega Nazionale," and together with the three clubs, the “Plaintiffs”"Plaintiffs") each filed separate claims against IMG and certain other unrelated parties in the Court of Milan, Italy, alleging that IMG engaged in anti-competitive practices with regard to bidding for certain media rights of the Serie A and Serie B football leagues. The Plaintiffs seek damages from all defendants in amounts totallingtotaling EUR 554.6 million in the aggregate relating to the three football clubs and EUR 1,592.2 million relating to Lega Nazionale, along with attorneys’ fees and costs (the “Damages Claims”"Damages Claims"). Since December 2020, four additional football clubs have each filed requests to intervene in the Lega Nazionale proceedings and individually seek to claim amounts in the aggregate totallingtotaling EUR 251.5 million. Ten other clubs also filed requests to intervene in support of Lega Nazionale’s claim or alternatively to individually claim in the amount of EUR 92.1 million, in the case of one club, and unspecified amounts (to be quantified as a percentage of the total amount sought by Lega Nazionale) in the other nine
31

cases. Collectively, the interventions of these 14 clubs are the “Interventions”."Interventions." The Company intends to defend against the Damages Claims, Interventions and any related claims, and management believes that the Company has meritorious defenses to these claims, including the absence of standing of the clubs, and the absence of actual damage. The Company may also be subject to regulatory and other claims and actions with respect to these ICA and other regulatory matters. Any judgment entered against the Company or settlement entered into, including with respect to claims or actions brought by other parties, could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Zuffa has 5

related class-action lawsuits filed against it in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “District Court”"District Court") between December 2014 and March 2015 by a total of 11
former UFC fighters. The complaints in the five lawsuits are substantially identical. Each alleges that Zuffa violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act by monopolizing the alleged market for the promotion

27


of elite professional MMA bouts and monopolizing the alleged market for elite professional MMA Fighters’fighters’ services. Plaintiffs claim that Zuffa’s alleged conduct injured them by artificially depressing the compensation they received for their services and their intellectual property rights, and they seek treble damages under the antitrust laws, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs, and injunctive relief. On December 14, 2020, the District Court orally indicated its intention to grant Plaintiffs’plaintiffs’ motion to certify the Bout Class (comprised of fighters who participated in bouts from December 16, 2010 to JuneSeptember 30, 2017) and to deny Plaintiffs’plaintiffs’ motion to certify the Identity Class (a purported class ba

s
edbased upon the alleged expropriation and exploitation of fighter identities). The Company is awaiting the official written order from the judge and assuming he rules as previously indicated, then the Company will seek an appeal of this decision. On June 23, 2021, plaintiffs’ lawyers filed a new case against Zuffa and EGH
alleging substantially similar claims,
, but
providing
for
a
class period from July 1, 2017 to present. Management believes that the Company has meritorious defenses against the allegations and intends to defend itself vigorously.

OpenBet consists of companies that provide products and services to sports betting operators for the purposes of sports wagering. Based on the amended agreement entered into in June 2022 (which was further amended in August 2022), we have agreed to pay consideration to Light & Wonder of $800.0 million, consisting of cash of $750.0 million, expected to be funded with cash on hand, and 2,305,794 newly-issued shares of our Class A common stock, a value of $50.0 million based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock for the twenty trading days ended on June 29, 2022. The closing of this transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and

other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022. Upon closing of the acquisition, we expect to create a new reportable segment that will include IMG ARENA and the OpenBet business.

In April 2022, we acquired the Mutua Madrid Open tennis tournament and additional assets, including the Acciona Open de España golf tournament, from Super Slam Ltd and its affiliates. We paid $386.1 million for consideration and transfer fees at closing, an additional $31.8 million of consideration is payable within two years of closing, and $0.6 million of contingent consideration payable within three years of closing.

In August 2022, we acquired 55% of Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC ("Barrett-Jackson"), which is engaged in the business of collector car auctions and sales as well as other collector car related events and experiences, in exchange for consideration having an aggregate value of $261.2 million, subject to certain adjustments. The aggregate consideration consists of $248.7 million of cash and 563,935 newly-issued shares of the Company's Class A common stock with a value of $12.5 million based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock for the thirty trading days ending on the day immediately preceding the closing date of such transaction.

Our Representation segment provides services to more than 7,000 talent and corporate clients and includes our content division, Endeavor Content.clients. Our Representation business deploys a subset of our integrated capabilities on behalf of our clients.

Previously, our Representation segment included our restricted Endeavor Content providesbusiness, which provided a premium alternative to traditional content studios, offering a range of services including content development, production, financing, sales, and advisory services for creators. In February 2021, the Company signed a new franchise agreement and side letter (the “Franchise Agreements”)the Franchise Agreements directly with the Writer’s Guild of America East and the Writer’s Guild of America West (collectively, the “WGA”).WGA. These Franchise Agreements includeincluded terms that, among other things, prohibitprohibited the Company from (a) negotiating packaging deals after June 30, 2022 and (b) having more than a 20% non-controlling ownership or other financial interest in, or being owned or affiliated with any individual or entity that has more than a 20% non-controlling ownership or other financial interest in, any entity or individual engaged in the production or distribution of works written by WGA members under a WGA collective bargaining agreement. As a result, in August 2021,the third quarter, the Company has begunbegan marketing the restricted Endeavor Content business for sale.

sale and such assets and liabilities were reflected as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The sale of 80% of the restricted Endeavor Content business closed in January 2022.

Components of Our Operating Results

Revenue

In our Owned Sports Properties segment, we primarily generate revenue via media rights fees,

pay-per-view,
sponsorships, ticket sales, subscriptions, and license fees. In our Events, Experiences & Rights segment, we primarily generate revenue from media rights sales, production service and studio fees, sponsorships, ticket and premium experience sales, subscriptions, streaming fees, tuition, profit sharing, and commissions. In our Representation segment, we generate revenue primarily through commissions, packaging fees, marketing and consulting fees, production fees, and content licensing fees.

Direct Operating Costs

Our direct operating costs primarily include third-party expenses associated with the production of events and experiences, content production costs, operation of our training and education facilities, and fees for media rights, including required payments related to sales agency contracts when minimum sales guarantees are not met.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include personnel costs as well as rent, professional service costs and other overhead required to support our operations and corporate structure.

Provision for Income Taxes

EGH was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in January 2019. It was formed as a holding company for the purpose of completing an IPO and other related transactions. As the sole managing member of Endeavor Manager, which is the sole managing member of EOC, EGH operates and controls all the business and affairs of EOC, and through EOC and its subsidiaries, conducts the Company’s business. EGH is subject to corporate income tax on its share of taxable income or loss of EOC, derived from Endeavor Manager. EOC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. corporate income tax. However, certain of EOC’s subsidiaries are subject to U.S. or foreign corporate income tax.

Impact of
the COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak

of COVID-19 a
pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic
has rapidly changed market and economic conditions globally, including significantly impacting the entertainment and sports industries as well as our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The COVID-19 pandemic
resulted in various governmental restrictions and began to have a significant adverse impact on our business and operationsflows beginning in March 2020, including the lack of ticketed PBR and UFC events and the early cancellation of the 2019-2020 Euroleague season adversely impacting our Owned Sports Properties segment; the postponement or cancellation of live sporting events and
other in-person events
adversely impacting our Events, Experiences & Rights segment; and stoppages of entertainment productions, including film, television shows and music events, as well as reduced corporate spending on marketing, experiential and activation, adversely impacting our Representation segment. Furthermore, following the merger of our IMG College business with Learfield, the operating results of the merged business had been weaker than anticipated driven by lower than expected sales and have been further impacted
by COVID-19 as
a result of the delay, cancellation of or shortened college football season and the prohibition of fans by many teams, which resulted in impairment charges at Learfield IMG College in 2020 adversely impacting our equity earnings. In 2020, we also recognized goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges primarily at our Events, Experiences & Rights segment, driven by lower projections as a result of the impact
of COVID-19 and
restructuring in certain of our businesses. In the future, any further impact to our business as a result
of COVID-19 could
result in additional impairments of goodwill, intangibles, long-term investments and long-lived assets.
2020. While activity has resumed in certainall of our businesses and restrictions have been lessened or lifted, restrictions impacting certain of our businesses remain in effect in locations where we are operating and could in the future be reduced or increased or removed or reinstated. As a result of this and numerous other uncertainties, including the duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of mass vaccinations and the impact of variants of the virus, additional postponements or cancellations of live sporting events and other
in-person
events, and changes in consumer preferences towards our business and the industries in which we operate, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact of
COVID-19,
including recently emerged variants, on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows, but acknowledge that its impact on our business and results of operations may be material. We expect that recovery will continue to be gradual and that the wider impact on revenue and cash flows will vary, but will generally depend on the factors listed above and the general uncertainty surrounding
COVID-19.
After considering the impact of
COVID-19,
including recently emerged variants, the Company believes that existing cash, cash generated from operations and available capacity for borrowings under its credit facilities will satisfy working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and debt service requirements for at least the succeeding year.

31


UFC Buyout

Substantially simultaneous with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the UFC Buyouttransactions whereby we acquired equity interests in UFC Parent (including warrants of UFC Parent) from the Other UFC Holders (or their affiliates) resulting in Endeavor Operating Company directly or indirectly owning 100% of the equity interests of UFC Parent.

Parent (the "UFC Buyout").

As a result of the UFC Buyout, we no longer attribute income (loss) to

non-controlling
interests related to UFC in our consolidated statement of operations and recognized a reduction in nonredeemable
non-controlling
interests on our consolidated balance sheet. Furthermore, restrictions on dividends under the UFC LLC Agreement are no longer in place after the UFC Buyout, although restrictions from the UFC Credit Facilities remain in place.
35

Reorganization

Prior to the closing of the IPO on May 3, 2021, we undertook reorganization transactions, following which Endeavor Group Holdings became a holding company, and its principal asset is an equity interest in a newly formed subsidiary of Endeavor Group Holdings, Endeavor Manager, of which Endeavor Group Holdings serves as the managing member. Endeavor Manager is in turn the managing member of Endeavor Operating Company. Endeavor Group Holdings manages and operates the business and controls the strategic decisions and

day-to-day
operations of Endeavor Manager as its sole managing member, and Endeavor Operating Company as its indirect sole managing member, and also has a substantial financial interest in Endeavor Manager and, indirectly, Endeavor Operating Company. Accordingly, Endeavor Group Holdings consolidates the results of operations of Endeavor Manager and Endeavor Operating Company, and a portion of Endeavor Group Holding’s net income (loss) is allocated to
non-controlling
interests to reflect the entitlements of certain former members of Endeavor Operating Company who retain ownership interests in Endeavor Manager and Endeavor Operating Company.

After consummation of the IPO and the reorganization transactions, we became subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income of Endeavor Manager and Endeavor Operating Company, and we are taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Endeavor Operating Company makes distributions to us in an amount sufficient to allow us to pay our tax obligations and operating expenses, including distributions to fund any ordinary course payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

In addition, we have begun implementingtax receivable agreements ("TRA"). The Company entered into the TRAs with certain persons that held direct or indirect interests in EOC and will continueUFC Parent prior to implement additional procedures and processesthe IPO. The TRAs generally provide for the purposepayment by EGH of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses related to these steps and, among other things, additional directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, reporting requirements85% of the SEC, transfer agent fees, hiring additional accounting, legalamount of any tax benefits that EGH actually realizes as further described below under "Liquidity and administrative personnel, increased auditingCapital Resources—Future sources and legal fees and similar expenses. We have recognized and will continue to recognize certain
non-recurring
costs as partuses of our transition to a publicly traded company, consisting of professional fees and other expenses.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We classify our business into three reporting segments: Owned Sports Properties; Events, Experiences & Rights; and Representation. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of our segments based on segment Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes segment Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability and is used to evaluate the operating performance of our segments and for planning and forecasting purposes, including the allocation of resources and capital.

Segment operating results reflect earnings before corporate and unallocated shared expenses. Segment operating results include allocations of certain costs, including facilities, technology, and other shared services costs, which are allocated based on metrics designed to correlate with consumption. These allocations are agreed-upon amounts between the businesses and may differ from amounts that would be negotiated in arm’s length transactions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL

MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA is

a non-GAAP financial
measure and is defined as net income (loss), excluding income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, merger, acquisition
and earn-out costs,
certain legal costs, restructuring, severance and impairment charges,
certain non-cash fair
value adjustments, certain equity
earnings, COVID-19 related
expenses,tax receivable agreements liability adjustment, and certain other items, including gains/losses on business divestitures, when applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin is
a non-GAAP financial
measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it eliminates the significant level

of non-cash depreciation
and amortization expense that results from our capital investments and intangible assets recognized in business combinations, and improves comparability by eliminating the significant level of interest expense associated with our debt facilities, as well as income taxes, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our tax structure.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used as the primary bases to evaluate our consolidated operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income is

a non-GAAP financial
measure and is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Endeavor Group Holdings adjusted to exclude our share (excluding those relating
to certain non-controlling interests)
of the adjustments used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, other than income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation, on an after taxafter-tax basis, the release of tax valuation allowances and other tax items.

Adjusted Net Income adjusts income or loss attributable to the Company for items that are not considered to be reflective of our operating performance. Management believes that

such non-GAAP information
is useful to investors and analysts as it provides a better understanding of the performance of our operations for the periods presented and, accordingly, facilitates the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted Net Income have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
although depreciation and amortization are
non-cash
charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted Net Income do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and
they are not adjusted for all
non-cash
income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.

We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered substitutes for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net (loss) income as indicators of our financial performance, as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. Although we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because it does not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income should not be construed as indications that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

These non-GAAP financial
measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of our most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to
these non-GAAP financial
measures on a consolidated basis.

Restrictions on dividends

Both the Credit Facilities and the UFC Credit Facilities contain restrictions on our ability to make distributions and other payments from the respective credit groups and which therefore limit our ability to receive cash from our operating units to make dividends to the holders of Class A common stock.

Other debt

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had certain other revolving line of credit facilities and long-term debt liabilities, primarily related to Endeavor Content and On Location, with total committed amounts of $400.7$62.9 million, of which $239.1$13.0 million was outstanding and $33.9$46.4 million was available for borrowing based on the supporting asset base.

Our ability to borrow under the facility depends on there being sufficient borrowing base capacity, which in turn depends on the number and size of productions we are engaged in and the value of future receipts for the productions. The amounts borrowed under the facility will increase if we enter into additional productions, or decrease if we reduce our production activity. The Endeavor Content Facility matures on March 31, 2025. In July 2021, the capacity under the Endeavor Content Facility was increased from $325.0 million to $430.0 million.

Cash provided in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to net income, adjusted for non-cash items, of $462.3 million offset by the increase in accounts receivable of $242.3 million due to timing of events and the decrease in deferred revenue of $95.5 million due to events taking place in 2022, such as Super Bowl LVI and various music events. Cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily represents an increase in other assets of $490.7 million from additional investments in Endeavor Content film assets and an increase in accounts receivable of $141.8 million from the gradual recovery from COVID-19. Cash provided in the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily represents a decrease in accounts receivable and deferred costs of $247.1 million and $104.2 million due to the adverse impact from

COVID-19
resulting in changes to the timing of collections and payments from modified event and media rights schedules.

Future sources and uses of liquidity

Our sources of liquidity are (1) cash on hand, which includes proceeds received from our initial public offering and the private placements completed in May 2021, (2) cash flows from operations and (3) available borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities (which borrowings would be subject to certain restrictive covenants contained therein). and (4) proceeds from potential divestitures. Based on our current expectations, we believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements and to meet our commitments, including long-term debt service for at least the next 12 months. However, the

ongoing COVID-19 pandemic
has had and continues to have a significant impact on cash flows from operations. We expect that the impact
of COVID-19 on
revenue and cash flows will vary, but will generally depend on the duration of the pandemic, the extent and effectiveness of mass vaccinations, emerging variants of the virus, additional actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, changes in consumer preferences towards our business and the industries in which we operate and additional postponements or cancellation of live sporting events and other in person events.
Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit with banks and liquid investments in money market funds. As of June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $869.8 million, including cash held
at non-wholly owned
consolidated subsidiaries where cash distributions may be subject to restriction under applicable operating agreements or debt agreements and, due to such restrictions, may not be readily available to service obligations outside of those subsidiaries. These balances, which primarily consist of Endeavor China and On Location were $75 million as of June 30, 2021.

We expect that our primary liquidity needs will be cash to (1) provide capital to facilitate organic growth of our business, (2) fund future investments, acquisitions (including Barrett-Jackson, which closed in August, and settle acquisitionOpenBet), and earn-outs and deferred purchase price payments from prior acquisitions, (3) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees, (4) fund capital expenditures, (5) pay interest and principal when due on our Senior Credit Facilities, (6) make payments under the tax receivable agreement,agreements, (7) pay income taxes, (8) repurchase employee equity (9) make distributions to members and stockholders and (10) reduce our outstanding indebtedness under our Senior Credit Facilities.

(9) an expected $250 million reduction of debt by the end of 2022.

We expect to refinance the Senior Credit Facilities prior to the maturity of the outstanding loans, with the first maturity for outstanding term loans under the Senior Credit Facilities occurring in 2025. We currently anticipate being able to secure funding for such refinancing at favorable terms, however our ability to do so may be impacted by many factors, including our growth and other factors specific to our business as well as macro-economicmacro- economic factors beyond our control, including as a result

of COVID-19.
control.

Tax distributions by Endeavor Operating Company

Other than as described below, we expect to retain all our future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Subject to funds being legally available, we expect that Endeavor Operating Company will make distributions to each of its members, including the Endeavor Profits Units holders and Endeavor Manager, in amounts sufficient to pay applicable taxes attributable to each member’s allocable share of taxable income of Endeavor Operating Company. Tax distributions made in respect of Endeavor Operating Company Units (but not Endeavor Profits Units) will generally be made pro rata in respect of such Units, as described in the Endeavor Operating Company LLC Agreement. However, in certain situations, tax distributions made to Endeavor Manager may be reduced (relative to those tax distributions made to the other members of Endeavor Operating Company) to reflect the income tax rates to which Endeavor Manager and Endeavor Group Holdings are subject and certain other factors. Non

pro-rata
tax distributions may be paid to holders of Endeavor ProfitProfits Units.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Agreements

Generally, we are required under the tax receivable agreementagreements to make payments to certain persons that held direct or indirect interest in EOC and UFC Parent prior to the IPO ("TRA HoldersHolders") that are generally equal to 85% of the applicable cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we realize or are deemed to realize (determined by using certain assumptions) as a result of favorable tax attributes that will be available to us as a result of certain transactions contemplated in connection with our IPO, exchanges of Endeavor Operating Company Units for Class A common stock or cash and payments made under the tax receivable agreement.agreements. We will generally be entitled to retain the remaining 15% of these cash tax savings. Payments will be due only after we have filed our U.S. federal and state income tax returns. The first payment would be due after the filing of our tax return for the year ending December 31, 2021, which is due April 15, 2022, but the due date can be extended until October 15, 2022. Payments under the tax receivable agreementagreements will bear interest from the due date of the tax return reflecting the applicable tax benefits. We currently expect to fund these payments from cash flows from operations generated by our subsidiaries as well as from excess tax distributions that we receive from our subsidiaries.

The amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character and timing of the taxable income of EGH in the future. If the existing valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets is released in a future period as a result of having sufficient taxable income, among other criteria, or other tax attributes subject to the tax receivable agreements are determined to be payable, additional tax receivable agreements liabilities may be recorded. We believe that during 2022, the relevant criteria may be met, and at that time, we would release a valuation allowance, which such benefit may exceed $700 million. In addition, we would record the associated tax receivable agreements liability, which if based on all exchanges that have occurred as of June 30, 2022 would exceed $900 million.

Under the tax receivable agreement,agreements, as a result of certain types of transactions or occurrences, including a transaction resulting in a change of control or a material breach of our obligations under the tax receivable agreement,agreements, we may also be required to make payments to the TRA Holders in amounts equal to the present value of future payments we are obligated to make under the tax receivable agreement.agreements. If the payments under the tax receivable agreementagreements are accelerated, we may be required to raise additional debt or equity to fund such payments. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the tax receivable agreementagreements as a result of having insufficient funds (including because our credit agreements restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us) such payments will generally be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For a description of our policies regarding our critical accounting estimates, see “Critical"Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”Estimates" in the Prospectus.our 2021 Annual Report. During the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates or the application or the results of the application of those policies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements from those previously disclosed.

disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Standards

See Note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further information on certain accounting standards that have been recently adopted or that have not yet been required to be implemented and may be applicable to our future operations.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not invest in any
off-balance
sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our unaudited consolidated financial statements except for those described under “Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” below.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
As described in Note 19 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, during 2021, we entered into new arrangements increasing our purchase/guarantee agreements by $1.3 billion, which will be due in 2021 through 2028. There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations disclosed in the Prospectus.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures aboutAbout Market Risk

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the floating interest component on our long-term debt. The Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at floating rates and we regularly monitor and manage interest rate risks. $1.5 billion of our Senior Credit Facilities have been swapped

43


to fixed rates. For the remainder, holding debt levels constant, a 1% increase in the effective interest rates would have increased our annual interest expense by $39$41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

2022.

Certain tenors of LIBOR will be eliminated at the end ofwere discontinued on December 31, 2021 and the remaining tenors are expected to be discontinued on or after June 30, 2023. Our loans are benchmarked off tenors, including 1 month and 3 month LIBOR, expiring in June 2023. Our Credit Agreement includes fallback language for the new standard benchmark rate that will be offered, Secured Overnight Financing Rate “SOFR”."SOFR." We cannot quantify the impact of LIBOR’s replacement benchmark rate at this time.

50

Foreign currency risk

We have operations in several countries outside of the United States, and certain of our operations are conducted in foreign currencies, principally the British Pound and the Euro. The value of these currencies fluctuates relative to the U.S. dollar. These changes could adversely affect the U.S. dollar equivalent of

our non-U.S. dollar
revenue and operating costs and expenses and reduce international demand for our content and services, all of which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in a given period or in specific territories.

Holding other variables constant (such as interest rates and debt levels), if the U.S. dollar appreciated by 10% against the foreign currencies used by our operations in the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, revenues would have decreased by approximately $75.7$52.3 million and operating income would have improved by approximately $7.6$1.4 million.

We regularly review our foreign exchange exposures that may have a material impact on our business and from time to time use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of potential adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates arising from these exposures. We do not enter into foreign exchange contracts or other derivatives for speculative purposes.

Item 4. Control Procedures

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules

13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange ActAct) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2021.
2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules

13a-15(f)
and
15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time we may be involved in claims and proceedings arising in the course of our business. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 1916 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

51

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether current known or unknown, including but not limited to those described as risk factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual operating results and financial condition to vary materially from past, or anticipated future, operating results and financial condition. For a discussion of these potential risks and uncertainties, see Part II,I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of"Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021 which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference, as supplemented by the risk factor below.Annual Report. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and the price of our common stock.

Future resales Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors to those included in our 2021 Annual Report.

Risks Relating to Legal, Political or Other Regulatory Factors Impacting our Sports Betting Businesses

Our businesses in the sports betting industry are subject to strict government regulations that may limit our existing operations, have an adverse impact on our ability to grow, affect our license eligibility, result in us amending our constituent documents, including our certificate of commonincorporation and bylaws, to allow for the restriction of stock ownership by certain persons or entities, including providing for the non-consensual redemption of shares under certain circumstances, and expose us to fines or other penalties.

In the United States and many other countries, the provision of sports betting products and services by certain of our businesses is subject to extensive and evolving regulation. These regulatory requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Therefore, we are subject to a wide range of complex laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we are licensed or operate. Most jurisdictions require that we be licensed, that our key personnel and certain of our security holders and customers be found suitable or be licensed, and that many of our products (including software) be reviewed and approved before they are offered to the public. Licenses, approvals or findings of suitability may causebe revoked, suspended or conditioned. If a license, approval or finding of suitability is required by a regulatory authority and we fail to seek or do not receive the necessary license, approval

44


or finding of suitability, or if it is granted and subsequently revoked, then we may be prohibited from providing our products or services for use in the particular jurisdiction, as well as face repercussions in other jurisdictions up to and including license revocation. We may also become subject to regulation in any new jurisdictions in which we decide to operate in the future, including due to expansion of a customer’s operations. Gaming authorities may levy fines against us or seize certain of our assets if we violate gaming regulations.

To ensure our ability to meet with regulatory requirements, including those applicable to our security holders, we may adopt changes to our constituent documents, including amending our articles of incorporation and our bylaws to allow for the restriction of stock ownership by persons or entities (i) who fail to comply with informational requests or other regulatory requirements under applicable gaming laws, (ii) who are found or are likely to be found unsuitable to hold our stock by gaming authorities, or (iii) whose stock ownership adversely affects or may adversely affect our ability to obtain, maintain, renew or qualify for a license, contract, franchise or other regulatory approval from a gaming authority. Such changes to our constituent documents may include requirements that certain security holders submit to the licensing procedures and background investigations of the authorities that regulate our businesses, and may provide mechanisms for the non-consensual redemption of shares and removal of a security holder who is or may be found unsuitable or fails to comply with regulatory requirements under applicable gaming laws. Any such changes to our constituent documents may inhibit potential investors from becoming significant stockholders or inhibit existing stockholders from retaining or increasing their ownership.

While we currently hold all state and local licenses and related approvals necessary to conduct our present gaming operations, we must periodically apply to renew many of our licenses and registrations. Additionally, new key employees, officers, directors, and certain shareholders must also undergo licensing or suitability investigations. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses or approvals or that the licensing process will not result in delays in or adversely affect our operations. The failure to obtain or retain a required license or approval in any jurisdiction would decrease the geographic areas where we are permitted to operate and generate revenue, may limit our ability to obtain a license in other jurisdictions and may put us at a disadvantage relative to our competitors.

In addition, we are required to provide information relating to our operations to various gaming regulatory agencies. A failure to provide accurate information could result in the imposition of fines or other penalties by the relevant regulatory authority. Furthermore, if additional laws or regulations are adopted or existing laws or regulations are amended or interpreted differently, these regulations could impose additional restrictions or costs that could have a significant adverse effect on us.

We cannot assure that authorities will not seek to restrict our sports betting businesses in their respective jurisdictions or institute enforcement proceedings against us. Further, we cannot assure that any instituted enforcement proceedings will be favorably resolved, or that such proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on our ability to retain and renew existing licenses or to obtain new licenses in other jurisdictions. Our reputation may also be damaged by any legal or regulatory investigation, regardless of whether or not we are ultimately accused of, or found to have committed, any violation.

We may also be required under applicable gaming laws and regulations to obtain approval of applicable gaming authorities to issue securities, incur debt and undertake other financing activities, and our financing counterparties, including lenders, might be subject to various licensing and related approval procedures in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We and certain of our affiliates, major stockholders (generally persons and entities beneficially owning a specified percentage (typically 5% or more) of our equity securities), directors, officers and key employees are also subject to extensive background investigations and suitability standards in our businesses. Gaming authorities may require us to terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file appropriate applications. Moreover, gaming authorities with jurisdiction over our operations may, in their discretion, require a holder of any securities issued by us to file applications, be investigated, and be found suitable to own our securities, and, if a holder is found unsuitable, we could be sanctioned, including with the loss of approvals that are required for us to continue our gaming operations in the relevant jurisdictions, if such unsuitable person does not timely sell our securities.

Additionally, there are instances in which a state in which a Native American tribe conducts Class III gaming activities disagrees with such tribe regarding the regulation of gaming, including the regulation of gaming suppliers. In those instances, we make every effort to comply with both state and tribal regulations and fulfill our contractual obligations. However, there may be situations where any such disagreement impedes or creates uncertainty with respect to our ability to supply gaming products and services to such tribal customer or otherwise negatively impacts our relationship with such customer or gaming regulators. There are additional complexities that may impact disputes or other interactions with Native American tribe customers. For example, Native American tribes generally enjoy sovereign immunity from lawsuits, similar to the sovereign immunity enjoyed by the individual states and the United States. In addition, certain commercial agreements with Native American tribes are subject to review by regulatory authorities such as the national Indian Gaming Commission, and, among other things, any such review could require substantial modifications to any such agreement we enter into with a Native American tribe customer.

Regulators and investors may perceive sports wagering suppliers and operators similarly and consider their respective regulatory risk to be similar.

While operators that directly provide sports wagering services to their customers are generally perceived to be exposed to a greater degree of enforcement risk than their suppliers, in some jurisdictions certain laws extend to directly impact such suppliers. Furthermore, a supplier’s nexus with a particular jurisdiction may expose it to specific enforcement risks, irrespective of whether there has been an attempt to bring proceedings against any supported operator. In some circumstances, enforcement proceedings brought against an operator may result in action being taken against a supplier (and even brought in the absence of the former). Ultimately, the market pricemay view, or in the future may view, the regulatory risk associated with the business of supplying software and services to sports wagering operators as being comparable with the regulatory risk attaching to operators themselves. In such circumstances, there is an associated risk that investors may apply valuation methods to any such supplier that are the same as the valuation methods used to value operators, and which build in the same regulatory risk even though, in many territories, such suppliers would be considered sufficiently removed from the transactional activity to warrant the application of a discrete risk analysis. If suppliers to our sports wagers operators suffer financial difficulties from realized regulatory risk, they may not be able to offer their services and products, which could restrict the provision of our securities to drop significantly, even ifservices and negatively impact our business is doing well.

In connection with the IPO, we entered into a subscription agreement whereby we sold 75,584,747 sharesrevenues.

terms of such regulations, including restrictions, tax rates, and license fees and availability of such licenses.

Legislative interpretation and enforcement of certain gaming regulations could adversely affect financial performance and reputation.

Various gambling regulators have implemented additional responsible and safer gambling measures relating to our sports betting businesses including the implementation of bet limits, deposit limits, bonuses and advertising, which could negatively impact our operations, business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, particularly if additional gambling regulators follow suit.

We may not be able to capitalize on the expansion of internet or other forms of digital gaming or other trends and changes in the gaming, social and digital gaming industries, including due to laws and regulations governing these industries.
