Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. is a prominent professional sports company known for owning the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, as well as operating development league teams and a sports performance center.
In its fiscal 2025 fourth quarter and full-year results, Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. reported a slight increase in annual revenues but faced a decline in operating income. The company highlighted the New York Knicks’ successful run to the Eastern Conference Finals as a significant event during the quarter.
The company’s fiscal 2025 revenues reached $1,039.2 million, marking a 1% increase from the previous year. However, operating income fell by $131.2 million, resulting in a significant decrease in adjusted operating income. The fourth quarter saw a 10% drop in revenues compared to the prior year, primarily due to fewer playoff games and reduced media rights fees.
Direct operating expenses rose by 44%, driven by team personnel transactions and league revenue sharing expenses. Despite these challenges, the company remains optimistic about the future demand for its sports franchises and the strategic adjustments made to media rights agreements.
Looking ahead, Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. anticipates continued strong demand for its teams and expresses confidence in the long-term value of owning professional sports franchises.
