Michael Russell

Thanks, Craig, and good morning, everyone. My name is Michael Russell, Corporate Director of Investor Relations for Six Flags. Welcome to today's earnings call to review our 2024 second quarter pre-merger financial results for our legacy companies, the former Cedar Fair, L.P. and the former Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.

Earlier this morning, we distributed via wire service our earnings press release, a copy of which is also available under the news tab of our new Investor Relations website at investors.sixflags.com.

Specific to Cedar Fair, our prior year reported quarter ended June 25th, 2023 to provide investors with more informative comparisons due to the fiscal calendar shift, our release this morning offers an alternate set of results comparing Cedar Fair's current year quarter ended June 30th, 2024, with results for the three months ended July 2nd, 2023.

Before we begin, I need to remind you that comments made during this call will include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those described in such statements.

For a more detailed discussion of these risks, you may refer to the company's filings with the SEC. In compliance with the SEC's Regulation FD, this webcast is being made available to the media and the general public as well as analysts and investors. Because the webcast is open to all constituents and prior notification has been widely and unselectively disseminated, all content on this call will be considered fully disclosed.
