NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 24, 2018 AND JUNE 25, 2017
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the financial records of Cedar Fair, L.P. (the Partnership) without audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods covered in this report. Due to the seasonal nature of the Partnership's amusement and water park operations, the results for any interim period may not be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
(1) Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies:
Except for the changes described below, the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 24, 2018 and June 25, 2017 included in this Form 10-Q report have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which were included in the Form 10-K filed on February 23, 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K referred to above.
The Partnership adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09") effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The Partnership's accounting policy as a result of adopting ASU 2014-09 is discussed below:
Revenue Recognition and related receivables and contract liabilities
As disclosed within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, revenues are generated from sales of (1) admission to the Partnership's amusement parks and water parks, (2) food, merchandise and games both inside and outside the parks, and (3) accommodations, extra-charge products, and other revenue sources. Admission revenues include amounts paid to gain admission into the Partnership's parks, including parking fees. Revenues related to extra-charge products, including premium benefit offerings such as front-of-line products, and online advanced purchase transaction fees charged to customers are included in "Accommodations, extra-charge products and other". Due to the Partnership's highly seasonal operations, a substantial portion of the Partnership's revenues are generated during an approximate 130- to 140-day operating season. Most revenues are recognized on a daily basis based on actual guest spend at the properties. Revenues from multi-use products, including season-long products for admission, dining, beverage and other products, are recognized over the estimated number of uses expected for each type of product. The estimated number of uses is reviewed and may be updated periodically during the operating season prior to the ticket or product expiration, which generally occurs no later than the close of the operating season. The number of uses is estimated based on historical usage adjusted for current period trends. For any bundled products that include multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated using the retail price of each distinct performance obligation and any inherent discounts are allocated based on the gross margin and expected redemption of each performance obligation. The Partnership does not typically provide for refunds or returns.
In some instances, the Partnership arranges with outside parties ("concessionaires") to provide goods to guests, typically food and merchandise, and the Partnership acts as an agent, resulting in net revenue recorded within the income statement. Concessionaire arrangement revenues are recognized over the operating season and are variable. Sponsorship revenues and marina revenues, which are classified as "Accommodations, extra-charge products and other" within the income statement, are recognized over the park operating season which represents the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied. Sponsorship revenues are typically fixed. However, some sponsorship revenues are variable based on achievement of specified operating metrics. The Partnership estimates variable revenues and performs a constraint analysis using both historical information and current trends to determine the amount of revenue that is not probable of a significant reversal.
Many products, including season-long products, are sold to customers in advance, resulting in a contract liability ("deferred revenue"). Deferred revenue is at its highest immediately prior to the peak summer season, and at its lowest in the fall after the peak summer season and at the beginning of the selling season for the next year's products. Season-long products represent the majority of the deferred revenue balance in any given period.
Of the $86.1 million of deferred revenue recorded as of January 1, 2018, 88% was related to season-long products. The remainder was related to deferred online advanced purchase transaction fees charged to customers, advanced ticket sales, marina deposits, advanced resort reservations, and other deferred revenue. Most deferred revenue outstanding as of January 1, 2018 will be recognized by December 31, 2018 with the exception of an immaterial amount of deferred revenue for prepaid products such as
gift cards and prepaid games cards. During the six months ended June 24, 2018, approximately $35.8 million of the deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2018 was recognized. The difference in the opening and closing balances of the Partnership's deferred revenue balance in the current period is attributable to additional sales for the current year's operating season offset by revenue recognized during the first six months of 2018.
Payment is due immediately on the transaction date for most products. The Partnership's receivable balance includes outstanding amounts on installment purchase plans which are offered for season-long products (and other select products for specific time periods), and includes sales to retailers, group sales and catering activities which are billed. Installment purchase plans include three month, four month, six month and nine month plans. Payment terms for billings are typically net 30 days. Receivables are highest in the peak summer months and the lowest in the winter months. The Partnership is not exposed to a significant concentration of customer credit risk.
Most deferred revenue from contracts with customers is classified as current within the balance sheet. However, a portion of deferred revenue from contracts with customers is classified as long-term during the third quarter related to season-long products sold in the current season for use in the subsequent season. Season-long products are sold beginning in August of the year preceding the operating season. Season-long products may be recognized 12 to 16 months after purchase depending on the date of sale. The Partnership estimates the number of uses expected outside of the next twelve months for each type of product and classifies the related deferred revenue as long-term.
With the exception of the long-term deferred revenue described above, the Partnership's contracts with customers have an original duration of one year or less. For these short-term contracts, the Partnership uses the practical expedient, a relief provided in the accounting standard to simplify compliance, applicable to such contracts and has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue. Further, the Partnership has elected to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred as the amortization period of the asset would be less than one year. Lastly, the Partnership has elected not to adjust consideration for the effects of significant financing components in the form of installment purchase plans as the period between when the entity transfers the promised service to the customer and when the customer pays for that service does not exceed one year.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year prepaid supplies amounts of $1.0 million have been reclassified to inventory in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for the period ended June 25, 2017 to conform to fiscal 2018 presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). The ASU requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities within the balance sheet by lessees for operating leases, as well as requires additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The ASU does not significantly change the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee, nor does the ASU change the accounting applied by a lessor. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The ASU can be adopted using either the modified retrospective approach, which requires application of the new standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, or the alternative approach, which requires application of the new standard at the beginning of the standard's effective date. The Partnership expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the alternative approach. While the Partnership is still in the process of evaluating the effect this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, the Partnership anticipates recognizing a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for the Santa Clara land lease, as well as other operating leases, upon adoption.
In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2018-02"). The ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, and the amendments can be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Partnership elected to adopt ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2018. The amendment was applied in the period of adoption and resulted in a $0.4 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to limited partners' equity during the first quarter ended March 25, 2018.
(2) Interim Reporting:
The Partnership owns and operates eleven amusement parks, two separately gated outdoor water parks, one indoor water park and four hotels. The Partnership's seasonal amusement parks are generally open during weekends beginning in April or May, and then daily from Memorial Day until Labor Day, after which they are open during weekends in September and, in most cases, October for Halloween events. The two separately gated outdoor water parks also operate seasonally, generally from Memorial Day to Labor Day, plus some additional weekends before and after this period. As a result, a substantial portion of the Partnership’s revenues from these parks are generated during an approximate 130- to 140-day operating season with the major portion concentrated in the third quarter during the peak vacation months of July and August. Five of the seasonal properties are open approximately 25 to 30 days to include WinterFest, a holiday event operating during November and December showcasing holiday shows and festivities. Knott's Berry Farm continues to be open daily on a year-round basis. Castaway Bay is generally open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day with an additional limited daily schedule for the balance of the year.
To assure that these highly seasonal operations will not result in misleading comparisons of current and subsequent interim periods, the Partnership has adopted the following accounting and reporting procedures for its seasonal parks: (a) revenues from multi-use products are recognized over the estimated number of uses expected for each type of product; and the estimated number of uses is reviewed and may be updated periodically during the operating season prior to the ticket or product expiration, which generally occurs no later than the close of the operating season; (b) depreciation, certain advertising and certain seasonal operating costs are expensed over each park’s operating season, including some costs incurred prior to the season, which are deferred and amortized over the season; and (c) all other costs are expensed as incurred or ratably over the entire year.
(3) Long-Lived Assets:
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In order to determine if an asset has been impaired, assets are grouped and tested at the lowest level for which identifiable, independent cash flows are available. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in equity price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; and slower growth rates. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.
Non-operating assets are evaluated for impairment based on changes in market conditions. When changes in market conditions are observed, impairment is estimated using a market-based approach. If the estimated fair value of the non-operating assets is less than their carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
During the third quarter of 2016, the Partnership ceased operations of one of its separately gated outdoor water parks, Wildwater Kingdom, located near Cleveland in Aurora, Ohio. At the date that Wildwater Kingdom ceased operations, the only remaining long-lived asset was the approximate 670 acres of land owned by the Partnership. This land had an associated carrying value of $17.1 million. The Partnership assessed the remaining asset and concluded there was no impairment during the third quarter of 2016. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Partnership recorded a $7.6 million impairment charge based on information from ongoing marketing activities. The amount was recorded in "Loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, net" in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The remaining Wildwater Kingdom acreage, reduced by acreage sold, is classified as assets held-for-sale within "Other Assets" in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet ($9.0 million as of June 24, 2018, $9.0 million as of December 31, 2017 and $17.0 million as of June 25, 2017).
(4) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, including trade-names, are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. As of June 24, 2018, there were no indicators of impairment. The Partnership's annual testing date is the first day of the fourth quarter. There were no impairments for any period presented.
A summary of changes in the Partnership’s carrying value of goodwill for the six months ended June 24, 2018 and June 25, 2017 is as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In thousands) | | Goodwill (gross) | | Accumulated Impairment Losses | | Goodwill (net) |

In April 2017, the Partnership issued $500 million of 5.375% senior unsecured notes ("April 2017 notes"), maturing in 2027. The net proceeds from the offering of the April 2017 notes, together with borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement (defined below), were used to redeem all of the Partnership's 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2021 ("March 2013 notes"), and pay accrued interest and transaction fees and expenses, to repay in full all amounts outstanding under its existing credit facilities and for general corporate purposes. The redemption of the March 2013 notes and repayments of the amounts outstanding under the existing credit facilities resulted in the write-off of debt issuance costs of $7.7 million and debt premium payments of $15.5 million. Accordingly, the Partnership recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $23.1 million during 2017.
Concurrently with the April 2017 notes issuance, the Partnership amended and restated its existing $885 million credit agreement (the "2013 Credit Agreement"), which included a $630 million senior secured term loan facility and a $255 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The $1,025 million amended and restated credit agreement (the "2017 Credit Agreement") includes a $750 million senior secured term loan facility and a $275 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The 2017 Credit Agreement was amended on March 14, 2018 (subsequently referred to as the "Amended 2017 Credit Agreement"). Specifically, the interest rate for the senior secured term loan facility was amended to London InterBank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 175 basis points (bps). The pricing terms for the amendment reflected $0.9 million of Original Issue Discount ("OID") and resulted in the write-off of debt issuance costs of $1.1 million which was recorded as a loss on early debt extinguishment during the first quarter of 2018. The senior secured term loan facility matures April 15, 2024 and amortizes at $7.5 million annually. The facilities provided under the Amended 2017 Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.
The senior secured revolving credit facility under the Amended 2017 Credit Agreement has a combined limit of $275 million with a Canadian sub-limit of $15 million. Borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") plus 200 bps. The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in April 2022 and also provides for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit. The Amended 2017 Credit Agreement requires the payment of a 37.5 bps commitment fee per annum on the unused portion of the credit facilities.
The April 2017 notes pay interest semi-annually in April and October, with the principal due in full on April 15, 2027. Prior to April 15, 2020, up to 35% of the notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price equal to 105.375% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to April 15, 2022 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a "make-whole" premium together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed.
In June 2014, the Partnership issued $450 million of 5.375% senior unsecured notes ("June 2014 notes"). The June 2014 notes pay interest semi-annually in June and December, with the principal due in full on June 1, 2024. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2019 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed together
plus a "make-whole" premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed.
The Amended 2017 Credit Agreement includes a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which if breached for any reason and not cured could result in an event of default. The ratio is set at a maximum of 5.50x Consolidated Total Debt-to-Consolidated EBITDA. As of June 24, 2018, the Partnership was in compliance with this financial condition covenant and all other financial covenants under the Amended 2017 Credit Agreement.
The Partnership's long-term debt agreements include Restricted Payment provisions. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Partnership's June 2014 notes, which includes the most restrictive of these Restricted Payments provisions, the Partnership can make Restricted Payments of $60 million annually so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing; and the Partnership can make additional Restricted Payments if the Partnership's pro forma Total-Indebtedness-to-Consolidated-Cash-Flow Ratio is less than or equal to 5.00x.
As market conditions warrant, the Partnership may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by the Partnership, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise.
(6) Derivative Financial Instruments:
Derivative financial instruments are used within the Partnership’s overall risk management program to manage certain interest rate and foreign currency risks. By utilizing a derivative instrument to hedge exposure to LIBOR rate changes, the Partnership is exposed to counterparty credit risk, in particular the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, hedging instruments are placed with a counterparty that the Partnership believes poses minimal credit risk. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Partnership amended its four interest rate swap agreements to extend each of the maturities to December 31, 2020 and convert $500 million of variable-rate debt to a rate of 4.39%. During the second quarter of 2018, the Partnership entered into four additional interest rate swap agreements that convert the same notional amount to a rate of 4.63% for the period December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023. None of the interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedging instruments. The fair market value of the swap portfolio was recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets within "Other Assets" as of June 24, 2018 and within "Derivative Liability" as of December 31, 2017 and June 25, 2017 as follows:
|

Instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting or were de-designated are prospectively adjusted to fair value each reporting period through "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The amounts that were previously recorded as a component of AOCI prior to the de-designation are reclassified to earnings, and a corresponding realized gain or loss is recognized when the forecasted cash flow occurs. As a result of the first quarter 2016 amendments, the previously existing interest rate swap agreements were de-designated, and the amounts previously recorded in AOCI for these agreements are being amortized into earnings through the original December 31, 2018 maturity. As of June 24, 2018, approximately $4.7 million of losses remain in AOCI related to the effective cash flow hedge contracts prior to de-designation, all of which will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.
The gains (losses) recognized in income on derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges were recorded in "Net effect of swaps" within the income statement for the periods presented as follows:

(7) Fair Value Measurements:
The FASB's Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions (inputs) that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable, and valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Accordingly, FASB ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that ranks the quality and reliability of information used to determine fair values. The hierarchy is associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process. Quoted prices are the most reliable valuation inputs, whereas model values that include inputs based on unobservable data are the least reliable. Each fair value measurement must be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The three broad levels of inputs defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| |
• | 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 measurement. |
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 24, 2018, December 31, 2017, and June 25, 2017 on a recurring basis as well as the fair values of other financial instruments:

| |
(2) | The April 2017 notes were based on Level 1 inputs as of June 24, 2018 and Level 2 inputs as of December 31, 2017 and June 25, 2017. |
Fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are determined using significant inputs, including the LIBOR forward curves, which are considered Level 2 observable market inputs.
As of December 31, 2017, the Partnership measured the remaining land at Wildwater Kingdom, one of the Partnership's separately gated outdoor water parks which ceased operations in 2016, at fair value less cost to sell based on Level 3 unobservable market input. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Partnership recorded a $7.6 million impairment charge based on information from ongoing marketing activities. This amount was recorded in "Loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, net" in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, revolving credit loans, accounts receivable, current portion of term debt, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 24, 2018 or June 25, 2017.
(8) Earnings per Unit:

(9) Income and Partnership Taxes:
Under the applicable accounting rules, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable by the Partnership’s corporate subsidiaries for the current year and for the impact of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which represent future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. The income tax provision (benefit) for interim periods is determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to the quarterly income (loss) of the Partnership’s corporate subsidiaries. In addition to income taxes on its corporate subsidiaries, the Partnership is subject to a publicly traded partnership tax (PTP tax) on partnership-level gross income (net revenues less cost of food, merchandise, and games). As such, the Partnership’s total provision (benefit) for taxes includes amounts for both the PTP tax and for income taxes on its subsidiaries.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2018, the Partnership has recorded $0.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and/or penalties related to state and local tax filing positions. The Partnership recognizes interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. The Partnership does not anticipate that the balance of the unrecognized tax benefit will change significantly over the next 12 months.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"), was signed into law. The Act includes numerous tax law changes, including a reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The change in tax rates necessitated the remeasurement of deferred tax balances that are expected to reverse following enactment using the applicable tax rates. As a result of the remeasurement of the net deferred tax liability, the Partnership realized a $49.2 million deferred tax benefit during the fourth quarter of 2017. The amounts recorded to reflect the effects of the Act were and remain provisional and are subject to change in accordance with SAB 118.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview:
We generate our revenues from sales of (1) admission to our amusement parks and water parks, (2) food, merchandise and games both inside and outside our parks, and (3) accommodations, extra-charge products, and other revenue sources. Our principal costs and expenses, which include salaries and wages, operating supplies, maintenance, advertising, utilities and insurance, are relatively fixed and do not vary significantly with attendance.
Each of our properties is overseen by a park general manager and operates autonomously. Management reviews operating results, evaluates performance and makes operating decisions, including allocating resources, on a property-by-property basis.
Along with attendance and per capita statistics, discrete financial information and operating results are prepared at the individual park level for use by the CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), as well as by the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Vice President of Operations, Regional Vice Presidents and the park general managers.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions during the normal course of business that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Management believes that judgment and estimates related to the following critical accounting policies could materially affect our consolidated financial statements:
•Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
•Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
•Self-Insurance Reserves
•Revenue Recognition
We adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09") effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Our accounting policy as a result of adopting ASU 2014-09 is discussed below. There were no other changes in the above critical accounting policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 during the second quarter of 2018.
Revenue Recognition and related receivables and contract liabilities
As disclosed within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, revenues are generated from sales of (1) admission to our amusement parks and water parks, (2) food, merchandise and games both inside and outside the parks, and (3) accommodations, extra-charge products, and other revenue sources. Admission revenues include amounts paid to gain admission into our parks, including parking fees. Revenues related to extra-charge products, including premium benefit offerings such as front-of-line products, and online advanced purchase transaction fees charged to customers are included in "Accommodations, extra-charge products and other". Due to our highly seasonal operations, a substantial portion of our revenues are generated during an approximate 130- to 140-day operating season. Most revenues are recognized on a daily basis based on actual guest spend at the properties. Revenues from multi-use products, including season-long products for admission, dining, beverage and other products, are recognized over the estimated number of uses expected for each type of product. The estimated number of uses is reviewed and may be updated periodically during the operating season prior to the ticket or product expiration, which generally occurs no later than the close of the operating season. The number of uses is estimated based on historical usage adjusted for current period trends. For any bundled products that include multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated using the retail price of each distinct performance obligation and any inherent discounts are allocated based on the gross margin and expected redemption of each performance obligation. We do not typically provide for refunds or returns.
In some instances, we arrange with outside parties ("concessionaires") to provide goods to our guests, typically food and merchandise, and we act as an agent, resulting in net revenue recorded within the income statement. Concessionaire arrangement revenues are recognized over the operating season and are variable. Sponsorship revenues and marina revenues, which are classified as "Accommodations, extra-charge products and other" within the income statement, are recognized over the park operating season which represents the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied. Sponsorship revenues are typically fixed. However,
some sponsorship revenues are variable based on achievement of specified operating metrics. We estimate variable revenues and perform a constraint analysis using both historical information and current trends to determine the amount of revenue that is not probable of a significant reversal. For additional information on our revenue recognition and related receivables and contract liabilities, see Note 1.
Income Taxes
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Act makes significant changes to U.S. tax law and, among other things, reduces federal corporate tax rates from 35% to 21%. The accounting treatment of these tax law changes is complex, and the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain tax effects of the Act. We recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the reduction in tax rates including the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory or accounting guidance that may be issued, and actions the Partnership may take as a result of the Act. We expect to complete our analysis of the effects of the Act within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118.
Adjusted EBITDA:
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items, and adjustments as defined in the Amended 2017 Credit Agreement and prior credit agreements) is a meaningful measure as it is widely used by analysts, investors and comparable companies in our industry to evaluate our operating performance on a consistent basis, as well as more easily compare our results with those of other companies in our industry. Further, management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of park-level operating profitability and we use it for measuring returns on capital investments, evaluating potential acquisitions, determining awards under incentive compensation plans, and calculating compliance with certain loan covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the discussion of results of operations that follows as a supplemental measure of our operating results and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities as defined under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The table below sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the three- and six-month periods ended June 24, 2018 and June 25, 2017.

Results of Operations:
We believe the following are significant measures in the structure of our management and operational reporting, and they are used as major factors in key operational decisions:
Attendance is defined as the number of guest visits to our amusement parks and separately gated outdoor water parks.
In-park per capita spending is calculated as revenues generated within our amusement parks and separately gated outdoor water parks along with related tolls and parking revenues, divided by total attendance.
Out-of-park revenues are defined as revenues from resort, marina, sponsorship, online advanced purchase transaction fees charged to customers and all other out-of-park operations.
Both in-park per capita spending and out-of-park revenues exclude amounts remitted for concessionaire arrangements.
Six months ended June 24, 2018
The fiscal six-month period ended June 24, 2018 included a total of 754 operating days compared with 762 operating days for the fiscal six-month period ended June 25, 2017. The following table presents key financial information for the six months ended June 24, 2018 and June 25, 2017:

For the six months ended June 24, 2018, net revenues decreased by $6.1 million, to $435.0 million, from $441.1 million for the first six months of 2017. This reflects a decrease in attendance offset by a slight increase in in-park per capita spending. Out-of-park revenues increased $1.1 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The decrease in attendance was driven by lower attendance at our seasonal amusement parks impacted by inclement weather, a decline in season pass sales at Kings Island, and a delayed ride opening at California's Great America. The decline in attendance at our seasonal amusement parks was partially offset by increased attendance at Knott's Berry Farm, our only year-round amusement park. The increase in in-park per capita spending was attributable to higher revenues from our food and beverage programs, extra charge attractions and merchandise. The increase was somewhat offset by a decrease in admission spending due to a higher season pass attendance mix and the expansion of our free season pass program for guests aged 3 to 5 ("Pre-K pass") to three more parks in 2018 for a total of six properties. The increase in out-of-park revenues was attributable to increases in resort property revenues driven by an increase in average daily room rates and higher occupancy rates. Currency exchange rates had an immaterial impact on net revenues for the six months ended June 24, 2018.
Operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 24, 2018 increased 4.4%, or $16.1 million, to $380.0 million from $363.9 million for the first six months of 2017. The increase is the result of a $11.6 million increase in operating expenses, a $3.2 million increase in SG&A expense, and a $1.3 million increase in cost of goods sold. Operating expenses grew by $11.6 million primarily due to increased seasonal wages which were driven by planned hourly rate increases. The increase in operating expenses was also attributable to increased full-time and maintenance labor driven by both planned head count and rate increases, disassembling attractions and decorations following the inaugural WinterFest holiday events at three parks, and increased operating supplies for park operations and personnel related costs including associate housing. We expect to continue to see higher labor
costs during the year due to both mandated and market wage rate adjustments. The $3.2 million increase in SG&A expense was primarily attributable to increased technology related costs, higher merchant fees and higher full-time labor costs. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily related to the growth in our food and beverage programs. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of food, merchandise, and games net revenue increased 1.0%. The increase in operating costs and expenses was not materially impacted by foreign currency exchange rates during the six months ended June 24, 2018.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the first six months of 2018 increased $1.6 million, or 2.8%, compared with the same period in the prior year due to growth in capital improvements over the past several years. For the first six months of 2018, the loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets was $4.7 million compared with $1.7 million in the prior period, both reflecting the retirements of assets in the normal course of business at several of our properties including the retirement of a specific asset in the second quarter of 2018.
After the items above, operating income (loss) for the first six months of 2018 decreased $26.8 million to a $7.4 million operating loss compared with operating income of $19.4 million for the first six months of 2017.
Interest expense for the first six months of 2018 was comparable to the same period in the prior year. We recognized a $1.1 million loss on early debt extinguishment during the first quarter of 2018 in connection with amending our 2017 Credit Agreement, as compared to a $23.1 million loss on early debt extinguishment related to our refinancing in the first half of 2017, as described in Note 5. The net effect of our swaps resulted in a benefit to earnings of $4.5 million for the first six months of 2018 compared with a $4.7 million charge to earnings for the comparable period in 2017. The difference reflects the change in fair market value movements in our swap portfolio offset by the amortization of amounts in OCI for our de-designated swaps. During the current period, we also recognized a $25.1 million net charge to earnings for foreign currency gains and losses compared with a $5.9 million net benefit to earnings for the comparable period in 2017. Both amounts primarily represent remeasurement of the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property from the applicable currency to the legal entity's functional currency.
During the first six months of 2018, a benefit for taxes of $5.5 million was recorded to account for PTP taxes and income taxes on our corporate subsidiaries. This compares with a benefit for taxes recorded in the first six months of 2017 of $10.0 million. This decrease in benefit for taxes relates largely to the decrease in the federal statutory income tax rate resulting from the implementation of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
After the items above, net loss for the first six months of 2018 totaled $64.2 million, or $1.14 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with a net loss of $33.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted limited partner unit, for the same period a year ago.
For the first six months of 2018, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $22.7 million to $61.5 million from $84.2 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is attributable to a decline in net revenues due to lower attendance and to increased operating costs and expenses associated with labor, especially seasonal wages due to planned rate increases, operating supplies and other planned spending.
Three months ended June 24, 2018
The fiscal three-month period ended June 24, 2018 included a total of 662 operating days compared with 674 operating days for the fiscal three-month period ended June 25, 2017. The following table presents key financial information for the three months ended June 24, 2018 and June 25, 2017:

For the quarter ended June 24, 2018, net revenues decreased by $12.5 million, to $380.3 million, from $392.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. This reflects a decrease in attendance and a slight increase in in-park per capita spending. Out-of-park revenues increased $1.6 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The decrease in attendance was driven by lower attendance at our seasonal amusement parks impacted by inclement weather, a decline in season pass sales at Kings Island, and a delayed ride opening at California's Great America. The decline in attendance at our seasonal amusement parks was partially offset by increased attendance at Knott's Berry Farm, our only year-round amusement park. The increase in in-park per capita spending was attributable to higher revenues from our food and beverage programs, extra charge attractions and merchandise. The increase was somewhat offset by a decrease in admission spending due to a higher season pass attendance mix and the expansion of our free season pass program for guests aged 3 to 5 ("Pre-K pass") to three more parks in 2018 for a total of six properties. The increase in out-of-park revenues was attributable to increases in resort property revenues driven by higher occupancy rates and an increase in average daily room rates. Currency exchange rates had an immaterial impact on net revenues for the quarter.
Operating costs and expenses for the quarter increased 4.1%, or $10.0 million, to $256.5 million from $246.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase is the result of a $7.0 million increase in operating expenses, a $2.2 million increase in SG&A expense, and a $0.8 million increase in cost of goods sold. Operating expenses grew by $7.0 million primarily due to increased seasonal wages driven by planned hourly rate increases. The increase in operating expenses was also attributable to increased full-time and maintenance labor driven by both planned head count and rate increases, and increased operating supplies for park operations and personnel related costs including associate housing. The $2.2 million increase in SG&A expense was primarily attributable to higher merchant fees, increased technology related costs and higher full-time labor costs. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily related to the growth in our food and beverage programs. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of food, merchandise, and games net revenue increased 1.2%. The increase in operating costs and expenses was not materially impacted by foreign currency exchange rates during the quarter.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter increased $1.4 million, or 2.8%, compared with the same period in the prior year due to growth in capital improvements over the past several years. For the second quarter of 2018, the loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets was $3.4 million compared with $0.2 million in the prior period, both reflecting the retirements of assets in the normal course of business at several of our properties including the retirement of a specific asset in the second quarter of 2018.
After the items above, operating income for the second quarter of 2018 decreased $27.1 million to $68.2 million compared with $95.3 million for the second quarter of 2017.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 was comparable to the same period in the prior year. In the second quarter of 2017, we recognized a $23.1 million loss on early debt extinguishment related to our prior year refinancing, as described in Note 5. The net effect of our swaps resulted in a benefit to earnings of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared with a $4.4 million charge to earnings in the second quarter of 2017. The difference reflects the change in fair market value movements in our swap portfolio offset by the amortization of amounts in OCI for our de-designated swaps. During the current quarter, we also recognized a $15.0 million net charge to earnings for foreign currency gains and losses compared with a $3.2 million net benefit to earnings for the second quarter in 2017. Both amounts primarily represent remeasurement of the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property from the applicable currency to the legal entity's functional currency.
During the second quarter of 2018, a provision for taxes of $13.7 million was recorded to account for PTP taxes and income taxes on our corporate subsidiaries. This compares with a provision for taxes recorded in the second quarter of 2017 of $17.7 million. This decrease in provision for taxes relates largely to the decrease in the federal statutory income tax rate resulting from the implementation of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
After the items above, net income for the current quarter totaled $19.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with net income of $31.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted limited partner unit, for the second quarter a year ago.
For the current quarter, our Adjusted EBITDA decreased $22.6 million to $127.0 million from $149.7 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is attributable to a decline in net revenues due to lower attendance and to increased operating costs and expenses associated with labor, especially seasonal wages due to planned rate increases, operating supplies and other planned spending.
July 2018
Based on preliminary results, net revenues for the seven months ended July 29, 2018 were approximately $752 million, down $15 million, or 2%, compared with the seven months ended July 30, 2017. The decrease was the result of a 3%, or 480,000-visit decrease in attendance to 14.6 million guests. The impact of the decrease in attendance was partially offset by a 1% increase in in-park per capita spending and a 4%, or $3 million, increase in out-of-park revenues compared with the prior period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
With respect to both liquidity and cash flow, we ended the second quarter of 2018 in sound condition. The working capital ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) of 0.6 as of June 24, 2018 is the result of normal seasonal activity. Receivables, inventories and payables are at normal seasonal levels. There was a $41.0 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $25.0 million increase in revolver borrowings as of June 24, 2018 compared with the balances as of June 25, 2017. The net cash proceeds from our debt refinancing in the first half of 2017 significantly impacted the change in cash position.
Operating Activities
During the six-month period ended June 24, 2018, net cash from operating activities was $85.8 million, a decrease of $1.9 million compared with the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower earnings offset by favorable changes in working capital.
Investing Activities
Net cash for investing activities for the first six months of 2018 was $100.6 million, a decrease of $23.1 million compared with the same period in the prior year. This decrease reflects less planned capital expenditures in the current period.
Financing Activities
Net cash for financing activities for the first six months of 2018 was $87.9 million, a decrease of $101.5 million compared with net cash from financing activities of $13.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to incremental term debt borrowings in the prior year from the April 2017 refinancing offset by incremental revolver borrowings in the current period.
As of June 24, 2018, our outstanding debt, before reduction for debt issuance costs and original issue discount, consisted of the following:
| |
• | $500 million of 5.375% senior unsecured notes, maturing in April 2027, issued at par. Prior to April 15, 2020, up to 35% of the notes may be redeemed with net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price equal to 105.375% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to April 15, 2022 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a "make-whole" premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. The notes pay interest semi-annually in April and October. |
| |
• | $450 million of 5.375% senior unsecured notes, maturing in June 2024, issued at par. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2019 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a "make-whole" premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. The notes pay interest semi-annually in June and December. |
| |
• | $735 million of senior secured term debt, maturing in April 2024 under our Amended 2017 Credit Agreement. The term debt bears interest at the London InterBank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 175 basis points (bps), under amendments we entered into on March 14, 2018. The pricing terms for the amendment reflected $0.9 million of Original Issue Discount ("OID"). The term loan amortizes $7.5 million annually. We have $1.9 million of current maturities as of June 24, 2018. |
| |
• | $25 million of borrowings under the $275 million senior secured revolving credit facility under our Amended 2017 Credit Agreement with a Canadian sub-limit of $15 million. Borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") plus 200 bps. The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in April 2022 and also provides for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit. The Amended 2017 Credit Agreement requires the payment of a 37.5 bps commitment fee per annum on the unused portion of the credit facilities. After letters of credit, which totaled $15.9 million as of June 24, 2018, we had $234.1 million of available borrowings under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand of $60.1 million. |
As of June 24, 2018, we have eight interest rate swap agreements that convert $500 million of variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. Four of these agreements fix our variable-rate debt at 4.39% and mature on December 31, 2020. The other four fix our variable-rate debt at 4.63% for the period December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023. None of the interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 24, 2018, the fair market value of our derivatives was $0.5 million and was recorded in "Other Assets".
The Amended 2017 Credit Agreement includes a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which if breached for any reason and not cured could result in an event of default. The ratio is set at a maximum of 5.50x Consolidated Total Debt-to-Consolidated EBITDA. As of June 24, 2018, we were in compliance with this financial condition covenant and all other financial covenants under the Amended 2017 Credit Agreement.
Our long-term debt agreements include Restricted Payment provisions. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing our June 2014 notes, which includes the most restrictive of these Restricted Payments provisions, we can make Restricted Payments of $60 million annually so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing; and we can make additional Restricted Payments if our pro forma Total-Indebtedness-to-Consolidated-Cash-Flow Ratio is less than or equal to 5.00x.
In accordance with the Amended 2017 Credit Agreement debt provisions, on May 2, 2018, we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.89 per limited partner unit, which was paid on June 15, 2018. Also, on August 1, 2018, we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.89 per limited partner unit, which will be payable on September 17, 2018.
Existing credit facilities and cash flows from operations are expected to be sufficient to meet working capital needs, debt service, partnership distributions and planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements:
We had $15.9 million in letters of credit, which are primarily in place to backstop insurance arrangements, outstanding on our revolving credit facility as of June 24, 2018. We have no other significant off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this report (including the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section) that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements as to our expectations, beliefs and strategies regarding the future. These forward-looking statements may involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, may be beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors, including those listed under Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, could adversely affect our future financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events, information or circumstances that arise after the filing date of this document.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates, and to a lesser extent on currency exchange rates on our operations in Canada, and from time to time, on imported rides and equipment. The objective of our financial risk management is to reduce the potential negative impact of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to acceptable levels. We do not acquire market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
We manage interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed-rate long-term debt, interest rate swaps that fix a portion of our variable-rate long-term debt, and variable-rate borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Translation exposures with regard to our Canadian operations are not hedged.
None of our interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedging instruments. Four of our interest rate swap agreements were de-designated in the first quarter of 2016. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting or were de-designated are reported as "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Additionally, the "Other comprehensive income (loss)" related to interest rate swaps that have been de-designated is amortized through the original maturity of the interest rate swap and reported as a component of "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
As of June 24, 2018, on an adjusted basis after giving affect to the impact of interest rate swap agreements, $1,450 million of our outstanding long-term debt represented fixed-rate debt and $235 million represented variable-rate debt. Assuming an average balance on our revolving credit borrowings of approximately $13.0 million, a hypothetical 100 bps increase in 30-day LIBOR on our variable-rate debt (not considering the impact of our interest rate swaps) would lead to an increase of approximately $7.5 million in annual cash interest costs.
Assuming a hypothetical 100 bps increase in 30-day LIBOR, the amount of net cash interest paid on our derivative portfolio would decrease by $5.0 million over the next twelve months.
A uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would result in a $3.4 million decrease in annual operating income.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures -

As of June 24, 2018, management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 24, 2018.
(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting -
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 24, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Freddie Ramos vs. Cedar Fair, L.P., Cedar Fair Management Company
The Partnership and Cedar Fair Management, Inc. are defendants in a lawsuit filed in Superior Court of the State of California for Orange County on November 23, 2016 by Freddie Ramos seeking damages and injunctive relief for claims related to certain employment and pay practices at our parks in California, including those related to certain check-out, time reporting, discharge, meal and rest period, and pay statement practices. The Partnership filed an answer on January 13, 2017 denying the allegations in the complaint and requesting a dismissal of all claims. On January 17, 2017, the Partnership filed a Notice of Removal of the case from the state court to the United State District Court for the Central District of California. The class has not been certified. On August 29, 2017, the Partnership participated in a mediation relating to the claims alleged in the lawsuit. Following this mediation, the Partnership negotiated a $4.2 million settlement with the named Plaintiff on a class wide basis. As part of the settlement, the case will be remanded back to the Superior Court of the State of California for Orange County for a preliminary hearing and final court approval of the proposed settlement. The Partnership and the named Plaintiff are required to file a brief in support of the settlement with the court. The hearing to approve the final settlement is not expected to occur until the third or fourth quarter of 2018. Based upon the information available, the Partnership believes the liability recorded as of June 24, 2018 is adequate and does not expect the terms of the negotiated settlement or final briefing to materially affect its financial results in future periods.
