(8)Segment Information

The Company, through its ownership of Braves Holdings, is primarily engaged in the entertainment and real estate industries. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), the chief executive officer, evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such

as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below). In addition, the Company reviews non-financial measures such as attendance, viewership and social media. The financial measures utilized by our CODM do not consider intersegment revenue and expenses and, additionally, the CODM does not utilize assets presented on a segment basis to make decisions on allocating resources. As such, neither intersegment activity nor segment assets are presented herein.

The Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges. However, our definition may vary from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net earnings (loss), cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company identifies its reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of its combined annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets. Additionally, the Company considers how each operating segment is managed due to the products and services offered, the technologies used, the revenue sources generated, and marketing strategies deployed when evaluating its reportable segments. As a result, the Company has identified the following as its reportable segments:

Baseball – operations relating to Braves baseball and Truist Park and includes ticket sales, concessions, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees, broadcasting and other media revenue, retail and licensing.
Mixed-Use Development – includes retail, office, hotel and entertainment operations primarily within The Battery Atlanta and the surrounding area.

When consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring services to the customer under the terms of a contract, deferred revenue is recorded. The primary source of the Company’s deferred revenue relates to suite and season

ticket arrangements, as well as certain sponsorship arrangements. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when, or as, control of the products or services are transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company had long-term deferred revenue of $18.8 million and $18.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which were included in other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized $15.6 million and $4.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, of revenue that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective year.

Significant portions of the transaction prices for Braves Holdings are related to undelivered performance obligations that are under contractual arrangements that extend beyond one year. The Company anticipates recognizing revenue from the delivery of such performance obligations of approximately $235.1 million for the remainder of 2026, $225.1 million in 2027, $188.1 million in 2028, $375.9 million in 2029 through 2033, and $188.0 million thereafter, primarily recognized through 2041. We have not included any amounts in the undelivered performance obligations amounts for those performance obligations that relate to a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.
