Drive Shack Inc. Updates Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Drive Shack Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: DS), a leading owner and operator of golf-related leisure and entertainment businesses, today reported it is updating certain information included in its press release issued on March 11, 2022, which announced the Company’s financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2021, and has delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), in order to incorporate these updates.

While finalizing its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company determined that expenses related to a lease termination incurred in December 2021 but paid in January 2022 that were inadvertently omitted from consolidated net loss for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 in the March 11, 2022 press release should be included as fourth quarter and full year 2021 expenses under generally accepted accounting principles. The update results in an increase to the Company’s loss on lease terminations and impairment of $1.5 million and a corresponding increase to operating loss and consolidated net loss for the fourth quarter 2021. The inclusion of this lease termination expense, as well as an offsetting benefit from a correction to the presentation of noncontrolling interest, results in an increase to loss applicable to common stock per share (basic and diluted) of $0.01 for the fourth quarter 2021 as compared to the results previously reported in the Company’s March 11, 2022 earnings release.

Additionally, the Company also determined that it had overstated weighted average shares outstanding for full year 2021, which together with the inclusion of the lease termination expense described above, results in an increase to loss applicable to common stock per share (basic and diluted) of $0.02 for full year 2021 as compared to the results previously reported in the Company’s March 11, 2022 earnings release. On a non-GAAP basis, these adjustments had no impact on adjusted EBITDA reported in the March 11, 2022 earnings press release.1

The Company has provided the revised financial statements and commentary for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021 in this release.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

Total revenue for the fourth quarter this year was $70.5 million, an increase of $10.2 million or 17.0%, compared to $60.3 million in the same period last year.

American Golf, the Company’s traditional golf business, generated total revenue of $56.5 million, which included $13.0 million of managed course expense reimbursements, in the fourth quarter 2021, an increase of $3.4 million or 6.4% compared to total revenue of $53.1 million, which included $13.3 million of managed course expense reimbursements, in the fourth quarter 2020. The increase to last year was primarily due to higher public course green and cart fees and daily fee rounds and total event revenue this year versus the same period last year.

The Company’s entertainment golf business, comprised of both Drive Shack and Puttery venues, generated total revenue of $14.0 million in the fourth quarter 2021, an increase of $6.8 million, or 95.1% compared to $7.2 million in the fourth quarter 2020. The increase was due to a $4.0 million increase in total revenue at the Company’s four Drive Shack venues, with $2.8 million of the increase driven by higher event revenue. Additionally, the Company’s two Puttery venues generated total revenue of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter this year. As a reminder, the Company debuted its first Puttery venue in The Colony, Texas in September 2021 and opened its second Puttery venue in Charlotte, North Carolina in mid-December 2021.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter 2021 was approximately ($7.9) million, a decrease of $4.2 million in profitability versus an operating loss of ($3.6) million in fourth quarter 2020. The change was primarily due to $1.9 million of increased costs in 2021 from the catch-up of course maintenance that was deferred in 2020, approximately $1.5 million of lease termination costs, $0.8 million in rent abatements for certain golf course properties in the fourth quarter 2020 that did not repeat in 2021 and a $0.9 million increase in preopening costs in 2021. These increases were partially offset by other net operating profit improvements in 2021.

Consolidated net loss was ($10.0) million for the fourth quarter this year compared to consolidated net income of $9.9 million in the same period last year. Last year, the Company recorded a $16.6 million gain in the fourth quarter on the sale of a previously owned golf course. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.5 million for fourth quarter 2021 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $5.3 million in the fourth quarter 2020.1

Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights

Total revenue for full year 2021 was $281.9 million, an increase of $61.9 million, or 28.1%, compared to $220.0 million for full year 2020.

American Golf generated total revenue of $236.8 million in 2021, which included $54.4 million of managed course expense reimbursements, an increase of $42.0 million or 21.6% compared to last year’s total revenue of $194.7 million, which included $50.4 million of managed course expense reimbursements. The increase to last year was primarily due to higher public course green and cart fees and daily fee rounds, private course total rounds and memberships, and total event revenue this year versus the same period last year.

The Company’s entertainment golf business generated total revenue of $45.1 million for full year 2021, an increase of $19.8 million or 78.3% compared to $25.3 million for full year 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $16.2 million increase in total revenue at the Company’s four Drive Shack venues, with $11.8 million in increased walk-in revenue and $4.4 million in higher event revenue. The Company’s two Puttery venues generated total revenue of $3.6 million for the portion of the year they were open in 2021.

Operating loss for full year 2021 was ($20.6) million, an improvement of $16.0 million or 43.7% versus an operating loss of ($36.6) million for full year 2020. Consolidated net loss was ($31.8) million for full year 2021, an improvement of $24.6 million or 43.6% compared to full year 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was $16.2 million for full year 2021, an increase of $19.3 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($3.1) million for full year 20201.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $58.3 million compared to $47.8 million as of December 31, 2020.

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).
