Solid Q3 results. The company reported Q3 revenue of $337.7 million, in-line with our Street low estimate of $337.0 million. Adj. EBITDA in the quarter was $122.8 million, which missed our estimate of $132.5 million by 7.3%. Notably, the quarter was negatively impacted by poor weather during the first three weeks of January.
Favorable outlook. The company added 23 new locations so far in FY 2024, with 2 coming in Q3, including the Lucky Strike Miami location. Additionally, the company has 4 new builds opening in the next nine months. Separately, the company acquired the largest water park in Illinois, Raging Waves, for an undisclosed amount. We view the acquisition favorably, as it provides another lane for growth in the out of home entertainment space.
