[8-K] Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation reported that U.S. comparable centers delivered positive same-store-sales growth for July and August 2025 versus the same months in 2024, and that total revenue for those months rose by double digits year-over-year. The company states these figures are preliminary, unaudited and based on management's internal reporting as of September 10, 2025, and may change materially during quarter-end closing or after audit procedures. The filing emphasizes these results should not substitute for GAAP quarterly financial statements and are not deemed "filed" under the Exchange Act.

• Positive same-store-sales growth reported for U.S. comparable centers in July and August 2025 versus July and August 2024

• Timely investor disclosure providing preliminary operational metrics for recent months

Negative

• Preliminary and unaudited financial information that management says may change materially

• Results are based on internal reporting and have not been audited, reviewed, or subjected to procedures by the independent auditor
• Information is not "filed" under the Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into other filings

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Preliminary July–August Y/Y momentum appears positive but lacks audited detail and full-quarter context.

The company reports encouraging short-term operating momentum with positive comparable-center sales and double-digit monthly revenue growth for July and August 2025 versus 2024. These metrics suggest demand improvement at U.S. locations during those months, which, if sustained across the quarter, could support stronger quarterly revenue trends. However, no magnitude of growth, margin, or full-quarter data are provided, and management warns results are unaudited and subject to material change. Investors should treat this as an early operational signal rather than conclusive quarterly performance.

Risk Analyst

TL;DR: Positive preliminary metrics exist but carry material uncertainty and disclosure limitations.

While month-to-month indicators are favorable, the disclosure repeatedly cautions the figures are preliminary, unaudited, and may change materially during closing or audit. The company also clarifies this Item 7.01 information is not "filed" under the Exchange Act, limiting legal incorporation into other filings. From a risk perspective, reliance on these early metrics without audited verification introduces execution and reporting risk; stakeholders should note the potential for revisions and limited regulatory filing effect.

Preliminary Same Store Results

On September 10, 2025, Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation (the “Company”) provided the following information to prospective investors in the offering described below:

For the month of July and August 2025, same-store-sales growth of U.S. comparable centers was positive as compared to the monthly periods ended July 2024 and August 2024. Total revenue growth for the month of July 2025 and August 2025 represented double-digit growth as compared to the monthly periods of July 2024 and August 2024.

The preliminary financial information presented above is unaudited, subject to completion and based on information available to management as of September 10, 2025. The preliminary financial information above is based on management’s internal reporting and is subject to change during the period remaining in the quarter as well as subject to adjustment for quarter-end closing procedures (which have not been completed) and any such changes could be material. As a result, the preliminary financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for full quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have prepared the preliminary financial information included above, and our independent registered public accounting firm has not performed any audit, review or set of procedures with respect to such financial information. An audit, review or set of procedures of such financial information could result in changes to these preliminary results. Actual results of operations may be materially different from the results of operations provided herein, and you should not place undue reliance on these preliminary results of operations. We undertake no obligation to update this information. The preliminary financial information presented above is not necessarily indicative of results of operations for any future period.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Refinancing Transactions

On September 10, 2025, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kingpin Intermediate Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), launched an offering of $700 million aggregate principal amount of new senior secured notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Substantially concurrently with the commencement of the offering of the Notes, the Company, the Issuer and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries launched a refinancing of their corporate term loan and revolving credit facility, whereby the Company seeks to enter into a refinanced credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to provide for a new U.S. dollar term loan facility with an anticipated initial principal amount of $1,000 million (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and a refinanced revolving credit facility that is expected to initially include commitments of approximately $400 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New Term Loan Facility, the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).

The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, along with the expected net proceeds from the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities, are expected to repay all indebtedness currently outstanding under the Company’s existing corporate term loan, bridge loan and revolving credit facilities, and to pay related fees and expenses. The excess proceeds from this offering and the New Term Loan Facility will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will be, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that is a borrower or a guarantor under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured on a first-priority basis (subject to customary exceptions) by liens on the same assets that secure the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

The foregoing transactions are subject to market and other conditions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transactions on the terms described above, or at all.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
