Drive Shack Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results
Provides Business & Financial Liquidity Update
NEW YORK, August 4, 2020 -- Drive Shack Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: DS) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. The Company also
provided an update on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, together with measures the Company has taken to reduce cash expenditures.
“Despite the challenging environment, the Company experienced quite a bit of positive momentum in the second quarter. We reopened all of our golf courses and our Gen 2.0
Drive Shack venues in West Palm Beach, Richmond and Raleigh,” said Hana Khouri, Chief Executive Officer. “Our operators have done a remarkable job navigating the public health crisis. Due to COVID, we have implemented additional safety measures
across all of our venues and courses to ensure that we are providing our guests with experiences that prioritize their health and safety.”
Khouri continued, “We have seen strong demand since reopening our traditional and entertainment golf businesses. Our courses and venues have proven to be the ideal setting
for guests to socialize and make memories with friends while social distancing. The key differentiator is our outdoor, open-air format, with defined suite-style bays partitioned by protective dividers at our
Drive Shack venues, and naturally limited on-course guest overlap at American Golf courses. We believe that these factors will ultimately set us up to emerge fr1om the COVID-19 environment as a leader in the leisure space.”
Business Update
The Company began the second quarter with operations suspended across all of its entertainment golf venues and substantially all of its owned, leased and managed
traditional golf courses. By the end of June, all of its traditional golf courses, and all but one of its entertainment golf venues, resumed operations. Across the traditional golf courses open for the full month of June, which excludes the courses
located in New York and Texas, private course Membership Sales increased 32% and Member Rounds increased 20% compared to June 2019. During the same period, public course Green Fee & Cart Fee Revenue increased 10% compared to June 2019, despite
available tee times decreasing 32% due to locally mandated restrictions. During the second quarter, our traditional golf business generated total revenue of $30 million. This comes to $22 million after adjusting for managed course expense
reimbursements, of which $12 million was generated in June.
The Company’s entertainment golf business reopened its locations in West Palm Beach, Richmond and Raleigh on May 15, May 29, and June 26, respectively. Across 85 collective
days of operations, the three entertainment golf venues generated total revenue of approximately $2 million and took less than 21 days on average to breakeven following their reopening.
The Company’s reopening strategy included a focus on safeguarding the health of its employees, guests and communities, with supplies and protocols intended to keep guests
and employees safe and comfortable, including transparent bay partitioning, enhanced distancing, temperature checks, complimentary personal protective equipment, and complying with local safety mandates.
Financial Liquidity Update
As of July 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $12 million of unrestricted cash on hand compared to approximately $14 million as of April 30, 2020. As the Company
resumed its traditional and entertainment golf operations in the second quarter, it reopened its venues and courses with a re-positioned labor model designed to improve operational and financial performance. As resumed operations made headway, we
were able to quickly generate sufficient cash flows to meet current venue and course level operating expenses, with cash flows from both businesses turning positive shortly thereafter.
As part of its cash preservation strategy initiated at the onset of the closure periods, the Company has deferred or reduced a portion of its rent payments and entered into
payment plans with a number of vendors. In addition, the Company has continued to defer payment of the 2019 annual employee bonuses, suspend quarterly cash dividends on its preferred stock, and construction on its entertainment golf venues and
traditional golf courses remains paused.
