Drive Shack Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Preferred Stock Dividends for Third Quarter 2021

Reported Total Company Revenue of $73.9 Million and Operating Income of $1.1 Million for the Second Quarter 2021

Delivered Quarterly Operating Income for the First Time in Three Years

Delivered Positive Adjusted EBITDA of $7.7 Million for the Second Quarter 2021

Drive Shack Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: DS), a leading owner and operator of golf-related leisure and entertainment businesses, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021.

“We have had incredible results this quarter including reporting operating income for the first time in three years and our fourth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA,” said Drive Shack Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer and President Hana Khouri. “Both our American Golf and Drive Shack businesses delivered strong financial performances as the momentum in the golf and entertainment sectors continued throughout the second quarter. Walk-in revenue at our Drive Shack venues was at an all-time high and each surpassed their pre-pandemic venue contribution levels, including Orlando delivering above break-even for the first time.”

Khouri continued, “2021 is a pivotal year for our company and we remain centered on executing the successful launch and expansion of Puttery. Our team’s relentless focus to deliver our first venue, located in The Colony, Texas near Dallas, is unmatched. We have faced numerous learnings and obstacles during construction, which is to be expected with the introduction of a brand-new concept and are now in the final testing and training phases. We look forward to introducing our first Puttery location to the Dallas market in the coming weeks. Development continues with our Charlotte, DC and Miami venues and, earlier this morning, we announced our newest Puttery location in Houston, our fifth market nationwide. Additionally, we look forward to a long-standing partnership with Rory McIlroy and his team as we further grow our Puttery brand in the coming years.”

Business Update

Total revenue for the second quarter this year was $73.9 million compared to $32.1 million in the same period last year. The Company’s four entertainment Drive Shack golf venues generated total revenue of $11.6 million in the second quarter 2021, an increase of $9.8 million compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter 2020. The increase was primarily due to COVID-19 related venue closures during the majority of the second quarter last year.

The Company’s traditional golf business, American Golf, generated total revenue of $62.3 million in the second quarter 2021, which included $12.9 million of managed course expense reimbursements, compared to $30.3 million in the second quarter 2020, which included $8.5 million of managed course expense reimbursements. The increase to last year’s second quarter was primarily due to COVID-19 related course closures for a portion of the second quarter 2020.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $81.4 million compared to $85.9 million as of March 30, 2021. The Company continues to maintain strong capital allocation discipline and expense control across the organization.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP financial measures. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure, as we have defined it, provides a supplemental measure of financial performance of our current operations at our entertainment and traditional golf venues. This measure excludes items that we believe are unrelated to the day-to-day performance of our current golf entertainment or traditional golf venues, including one-time pre-opening costs associated with new venue openings, corporate severance payments, (gain) loss on lease terminations and impairment, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and other income (which does not include revenue from golf entertainment or traditional golf venues). This non-GAAP financial measure is presented so that investors have the same type of financial data that management uses in evaluating the financial performance of the Company.

The principal limitation of this non-GAAP measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. A reconciliation is provided for the non-GAAP financial measure to our GAAP net income/(loss). Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to our GAAP net income/(loss), and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for income tax expenses, other income (loss), interest expenses, interest and investment income, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on lease terminations, impairment and other losses, pre-opening costs and certain other non-recurring items (including corporate severance payments, transactional G&A and stock-based compensation).
