TKO’s Q2 financial stockholder lawsuit settlement has been revealed.
The following is noted in the filing:
“The increase in operating expenses primarily reflected an increase in direct operating costs of $79.7 million and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $98.4 million. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily reflected legal fees and settlement costs associated with stockholder litigation related to WWE.”
10-Q filing:
“In early June 2026, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims against all defendants. The overall settlement amount is expected to be primarily funded by insurance recoveries, with a portion being funded by WWE as a result of pre-existing indemnification obligations owed by WWE to the directors. WWE’s portion of the overall settlement amount is $105.0 million, which is expected to be funded by probable insurance recoveries of $75.0 million, resulting in an expected loss of $30.0 million. The net estimated loss is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result, the parties and Court cancelled the trial, which was scheduled to begin June 8, 2026. The parties are currently drafting a settlement agreement, which the Court must then review and approve.”
More from the Q2 financials also noted a 12 percent year-over-year (YOY) increase:
-Media rights, production and content revenue finished at $359.7 million for Q2. The new domestic ESPN deal powered the majority of the $80.8 million YOY increase.
-Consumer products and licensing were up $12.7 million YOY to $46 million. This was attributed “to the sale of WWE-branded products, including trading cards and other collectibles” as part of their deal with Fanatics.
-Partnership & marketing revenue increased to $63.2 million YOY “primarily related to new partners and an increase in fees from renewals.”
-A rare negative was the live events and hospitality segment, down $33.7 million YOY to $152 million. This was “due to a decrease in ticket sales revenue, almost exclusively related to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, compared to the prior year period.”
