“Fiscal 2026 marked a meaningful step forward for our business, with our strongest same-store sales performance in years and clear momentum across many of our key revenue streams,” said Thomas Shannon, Founder and CEO. “Importantly, that momentum is broadening. Cumulative organic growth was positive through the first eleven months of the fiscal year, with June driving the full-year decline. Leagues grew and accelerated through the spring, food remained strongly positive, retail bowling continued to grow, and Events turned positive in late spring for the first time in years and remained positive throughout the summer. It is the strongest sustained performance we have seen from that business in a long time.”
“June temporarily interrupted that progress. The first World Cup on American soil in a generation drew millions of consumers to their screens on nights they would typically be out, resulting in sharply negative comps for the month and pulling an otherwise positive quarter and year slightly below zero. We believe it is important to distinguish that temporary disruption from the underlying health of the business. Trends improved immediately following the World Cup Final, and this headwind will not repeat next summer. At our waterparks, a cool and wet start to the summer pressured attendance, but strong pricing and disciplined cost management helped protect profitability.”
