The Six Flags Q3 2026 earnings call opened on November 5, 2026, with investor relations executive Tom Hennessy directing participants to the company’s third quarter earnings release and supplemental presentation, both issued that morning and available in the Investors section of the Six Flags website. Hennessy then outlined the standard caution around forward-looking statements and the use of non-GAAP measures before turning the call over to management.
Opening Remarks and Disclosures
Hennessy, senior vice president of investor relations, began by pointing listeners to the materials released earlier in the day. He noted that some remarks during the call would constitute forward-looking statements under federal securities laws, typically identified by words such as will, expect or should, and warned that these are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. He referred participants to the company’s SEC filings for a more detailed discussion of those risks.
He also addressed the use of non-GAAP measures, stating that such measures can be useful in evaluating operating performance but should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Participants on the Call
The call featured prepared remarks and a question-and-answer session with company leadership. John Reilly, CEO, president and director, and Ashok Walia, chief financial officer, represented Six Flags management. The conference call was recorded, and the operator provided instructions for participants before Hennessy’s introduction.
Analysts from several research divisions were listed as conference call participants, including Steven Wieczynski of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company; David Katz of Jefferies; Arpine Kocharyan of UBS Investment Bank; James Hardiman of Citigroup; Brandt Montour of Barclays Bank; Charles Scholes of Truist Securities; and Chris Woronka of Deutsche Bank.
What the Transcript Covers
The available transcript excerpt focuses on the procedural opening of the call: the location of the earnings materials, the legal disclaimers and the introduction of management. It does not include the substance of management’s prepared remarks or the analyst discussion that followed.
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation trades under the ticker FUN. The third quarter 2026 earnings release and supplemental presentation were published on the morning of the call and remain accessible through the company’s investor relations website.
Context for Investors
The opening of the call followed a familiar pattern for public company earnings events, with investor relations first establishing where the financial documents could be found and then setting expectations about the nature of the commentary. The mention of forward-looking statements and non-GAAP measures is a standard disclosure practice, and Hennessy’s remarks directed listeners to the company’s SEC filings for a fuller discussion of risk factors.
Because the transcript excerpt ends before the CEO and CFO remarks begin, it offers a view of the call’s formalities rather than its financial content. Investors seeking the quarter’s results and management’s discussion would need to consult the earnings release and supplemental presentation referenced at the start of the call.
