Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc SEC Filings

Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. insider John C. Malone, a ten percent owner, rebalanced his holdings between share classes in a private, related-party exchange on February 25, 2026. He acquired 10,868 shares of Series B Common Stock from two trusts whose beneficiaries are his adult children. In return, he contributed an aggregate 14,614 shares of Series C Common Stock and $42.18 in cash to those trusts.

Following these transactions, Malone directly held 14,537 shares of Series B Common Stock and 2,662,534 shares of Series C Common Stock. He also reported additional indirect holdings of Series B and Series C shares through entities including JCM AB LLC, the John C. Malone June 2003 Charitable Remainder Unitrust, and the Leslie A. Malone 1995 Revocable Trust.

Atlanta Braves Holdings reports on its 2025 performance and evolving structure after its split-off from Liberty Media and full assumption of corporate functions. The company now operates independently, with Braves Holdings built around two segments: the MLB Atlanta Braves franchise and The Battery Atlanta mixed-use real estate.

Management highlights heavy dependence on on-field success, local and national media rights, and rental income from the mixed-use development. A key change is the termination of the long-term local TV deal and the launch of BravesVision, a team-owned multimedia platform for local broadcasts starting in 2026, which may generate less revenue than the prior arrangement.

The filing details substantial long-term player and staff contract commitments, with payments of $285.8 million in 2026 stepping down in later years, and significant debt tied to Truist Park, The Battery, and the spring training complex. It also notes postseason revenues of $2.0 million in 2024 and $11.3 million in 2023, the Corporate Governance Transition, Terence McGuirk’s voting proxy over Series B shares, and a 2025 workforce of about 1,610 employees.

Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. reported stronger 2025 results, with total revenue of $732,492 thousand, up 11% from 2024, and Adjusted OIBDA rising to $107,813 thousand, a 172% increase. The company still posted a full-year net loss of $23,368 thousand, improved from a $31,268 thousand loss.

Baseball revenue grew 7% to $635,060 thousand, mainly from higher broadcasting revenue tied to additional streaming rights and contractual rate increases, plus higher ticket and sponsorship rates. Mixed-Use Development revenue rose 45% to $97,432 thousand, driven by new leases and an April 2025 real estate acquisition near The Battery Atlanta.

Full-year operating loss narrowed to $13,527 thousand from $39,665 thousand as revenue gains and lower baseball operating costs offset higher development costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. Fourth-quarter operating loss widened to $49,792 thousand due largely to a $30,131 thousand impairment tied to termination of a long-term local broadcasting agreement. As of December 31, 2025, cash was $99,884 thousand and total debt was $741,091 thousand.

Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. filed a Form 8-K to announce BravesVision, a new, team-owned multimedia platform that will become the official local television home of the Braves starting with the 2026 season. The organization will control production, sales, marketing, and distribution of its local telecasts across its six-state territory.

BravesVision plans to produce more than 140 regular-season games plus extensive pre- and post-game programming, and offer multiple viewing options without blackouts. Gray Media will air 15 Spring Training games across 26 Southeast markets, with all Spring Training broadcasts streamed free on Braves.TV. National games will continue on FOX/FS1, ESPN, TBS, NBC/Peacock and Apple TV+.

Robinson, EVP, CFO & Treasurer, exercised options for 60,000 shares of Series C Common Stock at a stated exercise price of $0.0000 per share and acquired the underlying stock at $27.1800 per share.
