Main Events Reports Year-End Net Profit

• Owing to a reduction in expenses, Main Event Entertainment Group Ltd. reported a net profit of $16.14Mn (EPS: $0.05) for the year ended October 31, 2021, versus the loss of $18.23Mn in the previous year. 
• The company continued its focus on cost management this year, seeing a reduction in direct costs of 46.1%. The bottom-line also benefited from by a reduction in admin & general expenses (14.7%), selling & promotional expenses (50.3%), depreciation (4.4%), and amortization (13.9%) costs. 
• Tempering the results was a 27.5% decline in revenues. The decrease is a result of very modest activity in Main Event’s core business of entertainment and promotions throughout this year. While client interest in its M-Style (Main Event’s premiere lifestyle and experience brand) services was encouraging, actual activity was tempered by the restrictions on gathering. 
• With the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 spreading, new lockdown measures and a further delay in the reopening of the entertainment sector can be anticipated. Nevertheless, the company expects demand for entertainment and event services to rebound swiftly when restrictions ease. 
• Main event’s stock price has appreciated by 35.0% since the start of the year and closed Thursday’s trading session at $4.32 per share. At this price the stock currently trades at a P/E of 86.4x.
