Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
Management to host conference call today, May 14, 2024, at 4:30 PM ET
PINE MOUNTAIN, Georgia, May 14, 2024 — Parks! America, Inc. (OTCPink: PRKA), a leading operator of regional safari parks in the U.S., today announced the financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended March 31, 2024.
Q2 2024 & YTD Financial Highlights
| ● | Consolidated revenues of $1.96 million for Q2 2024, an increase of 4.4%; YTD 2024 consolidated revenues totaled $3.86 million, an increase of 3.2%. | |
| ● | Missouri park revenue increased 48.0% in Q2 and 27.4% YTD, reflecting strong attendance gains. | |
| ● | Cash and short-term investments as of March 31, 2024, totaled $3.03 million. | |
| ● | Debt reduction continued, down $751,445 versus one year ago; debt-to-equity ratio: 0.28 end of Q2 2024 versus 0.32 one year ago. |
Recent Developments
| ● | Proxy issued for Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 6, 2024. | |
| ● | Ongoing proxy battle and Focused Compounding tactics have set the Company back financially and operationally. |
Lisa Brady, President and CEO of Parks! America, said, “All things considered, we are pleased with the operational performance of the Company in the second quarter of 2024. While the second quarter of our fiscal year is historically our slowest fiscal quarter in terms of park attendance, consolidated revenue increased 4.4% to $1.96 million versus the comparable quarter last year, with our Missouri park posting a 48% revenue increase on strong attendance gains. The operational plan we have in place is working and we are beginning to see traction across all our initiatives including our updated marketing efforts, enhanced season pass sales, and overall culture of empowerment and accountability. As we move into the second half of the year, we expect our Georgia and Texas parks’ visitor traffic to increase and significantly drive revenue growth.
“While our 2024 capital plan is heavily focused on rebuilding critical infrastructure in Georgia following the tornado, we are pleased with the progress at all three parks as we have continued to make small and strategic investments in high-impact guest areas including educational signage, landscaping, shade structures, and updated animal habitats. Our teams are focused on driving daily visitation and ensuring a great visitor experience for everyone that comes through our gates, resulting in strong reviews and repeat visitation. We are extremely pleased with the results from our marketing programs and are seeing strong return on our marketing investments. We remain focused on driving Georgia park attendance and revenues. However, our Georgia park attendance and revenues continue lag 2022 pre-tornado levels and we believe there are additional headwinds impacting Georgia park attendance, including continued settling from the Covid-19 bump in sales and increased competitive environment in the greater Atlanta market. Our teams are working hard and are focused on driving results during the historically stronger quarters and are encouraged by momentum through the first six weeks of our fiscal third quarter.”
Ms. Brady concluded, “That said, I am compelled to say the ongoing proxy battle with Focused Compounding (“FC”) has had a significant negative impact on our financial position, our ability to work on operational excellence at the location level, and to continue the process of fully restoring our Georgia Park. Despite this shortsighted effort, we remain undaunted and continue to do everything in our power to manage our resources to position Parks! America in the upper echelon of the safari park industry segment.”
Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
Total revenues for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, were $1.96 million, an increase of $82,735, or 4.4%, versus the comparable quarter ended April 2, 2024. Park revenues increased by $66,675 or 3.6%, to $1.92 million, and higher animal sales increased by $16,060, to $33,960.
Reported park revenues for the Georgia park - our largest revenue generating property for the Company – were down 1.3%. Reported park revenues for our Missouri park increased 48.0%, while park revenues for our Texas park decreased 9.2%. On a pro forma basis, adjusting for the impact of the tornado related closure of our Georgia park for the final eight days of our 2023 fiscal second quarter, as well as the year-over-year park revenue impact of an improvement to our ticketing platform, Missouri park revenue increased 52.6%, while Georgia and Texas park revenue decreased 21.8% and 6.9%, respectively.
The Company reported a net loss of $1.0 million, or ($0.01) per fully diluted share, compared to $846,139 or ($0.01) per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Each year was impacted by significant unusual expenses and charges. The second quarter of fiscal 2024 included $1.16 million of expenses associated with the FC contested proxy and related matters, while the second quarter of fiscal 2023 included $632,372 of tornado related expenses and asset write-offs.
Excluding these unusual expenses and charges, our adjusted net loss was $150,162, or ($0.00) per fully diluted share, compared to $384,507 or ($0.01) per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The lower adjusted net loss is attributable to higher park revenues and animal sales, lower overall staffing related costs, and lower advertising expense, partially higher animal feed and insurance costs. Although the flat year-to-date, director compensation was declared and expensed second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared first quarter of fiscal 2024.
EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 improved $306,010 to $108,965, compared to negative $197,045 for the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
First Half Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
Total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2024, were $3.86 million, an increase of $118,981, or 3.2%, versus the comparable period ended April 2, 2023. Park revenues increased by $58,330 or 1.6%, to $3.73 million, and higher animal sales increased by $60,651, to $122,351.
Reported park revenues for the Georgia park were down 4.0%. Reported park revenues for our Missouri and Texas parks increased 27.4% and 2.0%, respectively. On a pro forma basis, adjusting for the impact of the tornado related closure of our Georgia park for the final eight days of our 2023 fiscal second quarter, as well as a change in the accounting for online ticketing fees effective mid-January 2024, Missouri and Texas park revenue increased 29.6% and 3.7%, respectively, while Georgia park revenue decreased 14.1%.
The Company reported a net loss of $1.37 million, or ($0.02) per fully diluted share, compared to $1.0 million or ($0.01) per fully diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal 2023. Each year was impacted by significant unusual expenses and charges. The first six months of fiscal 2024 included $1.29 million of expenses associated with the FC contested proxy and related matters, while the second quarter of fiscal 2023 included $632,372 of tornado related expenses and asset write-offs.
Excluding these unusual expenses and charges, our adjusted net loss was $462,967, or ($0.01) per fully diluted share, compared to $537,467 or ($0.01) per fully diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2023. The lower adjusted net loss is attributable to higher park revenues and animal sales, lower overall staffing related costs, lower advertising expense, and lower general operating expenses, partially higher animal feed costs, lower margins on concessions revenues, as well as higher professional fees and insurance costs.
EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the first six months of fiscal 2024 improved $154,900 to $50,215, compared to negative $104,685 for the first six months of fiscal 2023.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Allocation
The Company had working capital of $2.04 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $3.1 million as of April 2, 2023. The Company had total debt of $3.85 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $4.60 million at the end of April 2, 2023. The Company’s debt-to-equity ratio was 0.28 to 1.0 on March 31, 2024, compared to 0.32 to 1.0 on April 2, 2023. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2024 were $484,872, compared to $952,640 in the first six months of 2023. Cash and short-term investments totaled $3.03 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $3.86 million as of April 2, 2023.
Todd R. White, CFO of Parks! America, commented, “We are prudently managing our resources in order to execute our strategic plan to upgrade our facilities following years of neglect and the impact of the 2023 tornado at our Georgia property. Despite the diverted time, attention, and resources required to deal with the ongoing needless proxy contest, we are making measurable progress on our plan. Excluding the impacts of the proxy contest, our fiscal 2024 year-to-date cash flow is on plan, and we continue to pay down debt, which has declined by approximately $750,000 or 16% over the trailing 12 months.”
Mr. White continued, “you may recall that the Company entered into separate twelve-month lines of credit with Synovus Banks and First Financial Bank, totaling $800,000 in October 2023. As of today, neither of the two lines of credit have been borrowed against.”

We believe this change will improve the overall guest experience, lowering the overall transaction fees incurred by our guests for online ticket purchases, while also improving functionality for our park customer service teams. While we believe this change will have a net neutral impact on profitability, we no longer directly up-charge customer transaction fees, resulting in a reduction in park revenues, with a corresponding decrease in operating expenses. |

We also believe EBITDA is a meaningful measure of park-level operating profitability. EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our operating results and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities as defined under GAAP. |
