WWE expects to report record 2020 operating income of $209 million and a record 2020 adjusted OIBDA of $286 million on Thursday, February 4 when they issue the 4Q and full 2020 earnings.
Today's announcement was made in conjunction with the new WWE Network – Peacock deal, which you can read here. It was noted at this link that the multi-year deal is reportedly worth more than $1 Billion.
WWE noted that they made it through a 2020 that was challenging for live content producers, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and they did that while never going off the air. Because of that, and with the implementation of extensive short-term cost reductions, the COVID-19 pandemic had an estimated net neutral impact on WWE's 2020 adjusted OIBDA. WWE estimates its full year 2020 adjusted OIBDA to be a record $286 million, which is up nearly 60% from the previous year.
The release also said WWE expects restrictions related to the spread of COVID-19, particularly related to the cancellation, postponement or reduced capacity of ticketed live events, to last at least through the first half of this year. WWE also expects a significant year-over-year increase in their expense base due to the full return of employees who were furloughed in April 2020, and continued higher expenses associated with the production of RAW, SmackDown and pay-per-view events from the ThunderDome at Tropicana Field. WWE estimates it can achieve 2021 adjusted OIBDA of $270 – $305 million as revenue growth is offset by the increase in personnel and production expenses. The revenue growth is expected to be driven by the impact of the new Peacock deal with NBCU, the gradual ramp-up of ticketed live events, including large-scale international shows, and the escalation of core content rights fees.
WWE also estimates that the stated 2021 adjusted OIBDA guidance range would be 15% – 20% higher if it weren't for the ongoing impact of COVID-19, which includes the loss of ticket and merchandise sales from live events, and the increased investment in production to further fan engagement.
Stay tuned for more on WWE earnings and be sure to join us on Thursday, February 4 for the full Q4 and full year 2020 earnings report at 4pm, then coverage of the investors call with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and others at 5pm.

STAMFORD, Conn., January 25, 2021 – WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced expectations for its 2020 financial results and outlined guidance for 2021.

Throughout the 2020 year, WWE managed a challenging environment particularly for producers of live content. WWE never went off the air. Because of that, combined with the implementation of extensive short-term cost reductions, COVID-19 had an estimated net neutral impact on WWE's 2020 Adjusted OIBDA. Accordingly, the Company estimates its full year 2020 Adjusted OIBDA (unaudited) to be approximately $286 million, which would be a record, up nearly 60% from the prior year.3 A reconciliation of estimated 2020 Adjusted OIBDA to Operating Income can be found in the supplemental schedule on page 5 of this release.
Management expects restrictions related to the spread of COVID-19, particularly related to the cancellation, postponement or reduced capacity of ticketed live events, to continue at least through the first half of 2021. Additionally, management anticipates a significant year-over-year increase in WWE's expense base due to the full return of employees from furlough and continued higher expenses associated with the production of its weekly Raw and SmackDown television content at the WWE ThunderDome from its stadium residence at Tropicana Field. The Company estimates it can achieve 2021 Adjusted OIBDA of $270 – $305 million as revenue growth, driven by the impact of the Peacock transaction, the gradual ramp-up of ticketed live events, including large-scale international events, and the escalation of core content rights fees, is offset by the increase in personnel and production expenses.
Management estimates that the stated 2021 Adjusted OIBDA guidance range would be 15% – 20% higher without the ongoing impact of COVID-19, which includes the loss of ticket and merchandise sales at live events and the increased investment in production to further fan engagement. Estimates of future performance beyond 2021 will be impacted by the return of these businesses and various other factors.
WWE is unable to provide a reconciliation of full year 2021 guidance to GAAP measures as, at this time, WWE cannot accurately determine all of the adjustments that would be required.
