Bowling Center Trailing 13-week Revenue Growth Trend (Graphic: Business Wire)

The Company’s revenue exceeded $1.0 billion on a trailing twelve month basis, marking a major milestone in the Company’s history following record revenue generation throughout calendar year 2022. This performance was driven by strong ongoing demand for bowling, the country’s largest participatory sport, across the portfolio exemplified by Bowlero’s same store sales growth of approximately 48% year over year. In particular, the TTM revenue performance was fueled by dramatic year over year growth in events and continued strong performance from walk-in retail and leagues.

The Company’s deployment of Moneybowl™ continues to gain momentum, growing from two locations on November 16, 2022 to an expected 27 locations by January 13, 2023.

Bowling center additions remain a significant factor in driving total revenue growth. Since June 28, 2021, Bowlero has added 40 new centers and has grown its operating center count by 14%. Of the 40 centers added, two locations were new builds and 38 were acquisitions. The pipeline for new locations remains robust.

Thomas Shannon, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The last twelve months have been transformational for Bowlero. Exceeding $1.0 billion in TTM revenue is a remarkable milestone for the Company, capping off a year of notable accomplishments. We ended December of 2022 with 326 locations, after continuing our robust unit addition plan. We launched MoneyBowl™, and it should be in pilot at 27 locations, almost ten percent of our footprint, by the end of this week. These accomplishments were almost unimaginable when we operated only six centers back in 2013, and they are a testament to our world-class team and our relentless pursuit of providing world-class experiences across our growing portfolio of nearly 330 centers and maximizing shareholder value.”

1Same-store sales are measured by comparing revenues for centers open for the entire duration of both the current and comparable measurement periods.

2Our independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its review of our results for our second quarter ended on January 1, 2023. The revenue amounts for this quarter are preliminary estimates of the results of operations that we expect to report for our second quarter ended on January 1, 2023. Our actual results may differ from these estimates due to the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for our second quarter are finalized.

3Revenue growth is calculated as the growth in Bowling Center Revenue compared to the comparable week during the pre-pandemic 52-week period beginning March 2019 and ending February 2020. Total Bowling Center Revenue (i) excludes media-related revenue and closed bowling centers from both current period and pre-pandemic and prior year periods and (ii) includes new bowling centers that have opened since March 2020. For weeks ending between September 26, 2021 and December 26, 2021, the percentages above are calculated by comparing each week to the comparable week in 2019. For weeks ending between January 2, 2022 and February 27, 2022, the percentages above are calculated by comparing each week to the comparable week in 2020. For weeks ending between March 6, 2022 and January 1, 2023, the percentages above are calculated by comparing each week to the comparable week in 2019. Total Bowling Center Revenue for each date is the 13-week rolling average of weekly Total Bowling Center Revenue. We use the 13-week rolling average because the revenue performance in individual weeks can be positively or negatively impacted by timing shift of holiday/sporting events, holidays moving to weekends, and extreme weather events. Data for all weeks following the close of the quarter ended on October 2, 2022 are preliminary and have not been audited or reviewed and are forward-looking statements based solely on information available to us as of the date of this announcement.
