Q2 Results. The company reported revenue of $306.9 million, largely in line with our estimate of $310.0 million, while adj. EBITDA of $77.5 million, missed our estimate of $97.3 million by roughly 20%. Notably, the quarter was driven by increased investment, largely related to marketing, which supported top-line results while pressuring adj. EBITDA in the quarter.

Clear inflection point. The company reported same-store sales growth of 0.3%, while this figure may seem modest, we view it as a favorable development. Notably, the events business, which has been the primary drag on same-store sales in recent periods, improved significantly during the quarter and was roughly flat y-o-y. Furthermore, in January, the event business experienced double-digit growth before being impacted by a major snowstorm.
