Lucky Strike Reports Fiscal 2026 Q4 Results, Guides FY2027 EBITDA

Lucky Strike Entertainment reported fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results, with total revenue growing 4% to $1.245 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $333 million, despite a same-store sales comp of minus 0.2% for the full year. The company attributed the slight decline to the World Cup and the Knicks' NBA championship run, which pulled June comps down 7%, but noted August is rebounding. For fiscal 2027, Lucky Strike expects adjusted EBITDA of $340 million to $360 million, with capital expenditures budgeted at $90 million. The company also highlighted progress in its water park segment, which generated $56 million in revenue and $22 million in EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis through July, and plans to rationalize its portfolio by shedding about 10 properties this year.
