Six Flags - Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, indicating a complex financial landscape marked by both challenges and areas of growth. The company reported a slight decline in revenues and a significant net loss due to impairment charges, alongside a modest increase in park attendance and rising revenues from licensing and sponsorships.
Financial Overview and Attendance
Six Flags’ revenues for the third quarter reached approximately €1.22 billion ($1.32 billion), reflecting a 2% decrease compared to the same period last year. The financial quarter was significantly impacted by a substantial non-cash impairment charge on intangible assets, which amounted to €1.39 billion ($1.5 billion), leading to a net loss of about €1.11 billion ($1.2 billion).
Despite these financial setbacks, park attendance showed a 1% increase, bringing total visitors to 21.1 million. However, per capita spending within the parks decreased by 4%, averaging €54.50 ($59.08) per visitor.
Licensing, Sponsorships, and Operational Insights
There was a 6% rise in revenues from licensing and sponsorships, reaching approximately €99.7 million ($108 million).
Operational expenses decreased by €112 million ($122 million), largely due to reduced personnel and advertising costs. Despite these savings, the company faced an operational loss of approximately €1.02 billion ($1.1 billion), influenced by the high impairment charges.
Investor Developments and Future Outlook
NFL player Travis Kelce has joined a group of investors led by JANA Partners in acquiring a significant stake in Six Flags.
Visitor numbers in October 2025 saw an 11% decline compared to the same month in 2024 but showed a 7% increase over a two-year period. Six Flags forecasts an adjusted EBITDA in the range of €720-740 million ($780-805 million) for the full year 2025.
