Fiscal 2026 fourth quarter arena license fees and other leasing revenues of $11.5 million increased $2.5 million, or 27%, as compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in other leasing revenues.

Food, Beverage and Merchandise
Fiscal 2026 fourth quarter food, beverage and merchandise direct operating expenses of $20.2 million increased $3.8 million, or 23%, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher food and beverage costs at concerts held at the Company's venues and, to a lesser extent, higher food and beverage costs at Knicks and Rangers games at The Garden.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Fiscal 2026 fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expenses of $67.2 million increased $7.3 million, or 12%, as compared with the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher employee compensation and related benefits.
