United Parks & Resorts Reports Q3 2026 Results with Revenue Decline Amid Lower Attendance
United Parks & Resorts (PRKS) reported third-quarter 2026 financial results characterized by a slight decline in total revenue to $506.5 million, down 1.1% year-over-year. The decrease was primarily driven by a 4.7% drop in attendance, which fell to 6.5 million guests due to unfavorable weather conditions, calendar impacts, and international visitation headwinds. Despite the lower volume, the company saw record high in-park per capita spending of $37.39, up 4.4%, reflecting successful pricing initiatives and improved guest penetration. Diluted earnings per share rose 8.1% to $1.74, aided by aggressive share repurchases totaling $218 million year-to-date, even as net income fell 10.5% due to higher administrative expenses.
