TKO speaks WWE/Netflix, Saudi schedule, Ple Future with Q4 2024 results

The TKO Group Holdings, parent company of WWE and UFC, reported its fourth quarter and the full year financial data for 2024 (February 26, 2025).

The company run by Ari Emanuel announced from November to December last year in November to December of the previous year with $ 238.1 million in adjusted EBITDA (profits before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of profit). The company left the quarter with a net result of $ 47.5 million. For the year, sales were 2.8 billion US dollars and the net result of $ 6.4 million.

Due to the outbreak of the UFC, UFC achieved sales for the quarter of $ 61.1 million (to USD $ 343.9), which spent the decline in sales of WWE by $ 32.9 million. WWE's hit was due to a smaller contract as a common media law contract with the United States in order to transfer RAW from the end of its previous contract until it started on Netflix last month. It was not a reference to WWE's overall business because the live events rose by around 11 million US dollars, sponsorship for more than 7 million US dollars and consumer products rose by almost 5 million US dollars.

WWE had a turnover of 1.398 billion US dollars for the year. UFCS was 1.406 billion US dollars. This was the first full year for TKO, which was founded in September 2023.
