Cedar Fair reports strong results through

Labor Day weekend

Update : 14:50 Published by François Mayné the 5 September 2012, Corporate.

Cedar Fair Entertainment Company today reported strong financial results through Labor Day weekend and, as a result, reaffirmed that it is on track for its third-consecutive year of record performance in 2012.

As of September 3, 2012, year-to-date net revenues increased approximately $40 million (approx €32 million), or 5%, to approximately $881 million (€704 million) compared with $841 million (€672 million) for the same period a year ago. Driving this year-over-year growth was a 4% increase in average in-park guest per capita spending to $41.74 (€33.3), coupled with a 1% increase in attendance to 19.4 million visitors and a 1% increase in out-of-park revenues to approximately $93 million (€74 million).

“We are very pleased with the year-to-date performance of our parks through Labor Day, as we saw strength in both in-park per capita spending and attendance,” said Matt Ouimet, Cedar Fair’s president and chief executive officer. “We were successful in maintaining integrity in our pricing through the peak months of July and August, which has resulted in strong growth in our average in-park guest per capita spending, including our admissions per capita which was up 3%. At the same time, we have been able to increase attendance from last year’s record levels, primarily through the introduction of world-class rides and attractions and record season pass sales. These results are a testament to the value our customers place on a full day of entertainment at our parks and the quality of service that our associates offer."

“We feel very good about the response our guests have had to our ‘FUNforward’ growth initiatives and would expect to keep this momentum going in the fall season with our award-winning Halloween offerings,” added Ouimet. “The highlight of our Halloween activities this year will be the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the ‘Haunt’ at Knott’s Berry Farm, which will also feature an all-new interactive maze and premium experience called ‘TRAPPED’. Our other parks will feature several new shows and mazes for guests to enjoy as well. Our flagship park, Cedar Point, will also be taking advantage of its new stage on Celebration Plaza with ‘Skeleton Crew,’ a new show that is sure to entertain friends and families of all ages with high-flying acrobats and other extraordinary acts.”

Ouimet added, “Based on the strength of our results through Labor Day and the positive momentum we have heading into our important fall season, we remain confident in our 2012 full-year revenue guidance of $1.055 billion to $1.075 billion and our Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $385 million to $395 million.”
