Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the same period in 2023.
Baseball revenue is derived from two primary sources on an annual basis: (i) baseball event revenue (ticket sales, concessions, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees) and (ii) broadcasting revenue (national and local broadcast rights). Mixed-use development revenue is derived from the Battery Atlanta mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income.
The following table disaggregates revenue by segment and by source:

There were 40 home games played in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 43 home games in the prior year period.
Baseball revenue increased 4% in the second quarter due to growth in baseball event and broadcasting revenue. Baseball event revenue grew primarily due to new sponsorship agreements and contractual rate increases on season tickets and existing sponsorship contracts, partially offset by fewer regular season home games. Broadcasting revenue increased primarily due to more regular season games played (home and away) as well as contractual rate increases. Mixed-use development revenue grew 11% during the second quarter due to increases in rental income related to tenant recoveries and higher parking revenue.
Operating income and Adjusted OIBDA increased in the second quarter as revenue growth more than offset increased baseball operating costs. Baseball operating costs increased due to higher player salaries, increases under MLB’s revenue sharing plan and increased minor league team and player expenses, partially offset by lower variable concessions and retail expenses driven by fewer regular season home games. Selling, general and administrative expense was relatively flat in the second quarter.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
SCHEDULE 1: Reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to Operating Income (Loss)
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for ABH together with reconciliations to operating income, as determined under GAAP. ABH defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges.
ABH believes Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because Adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, ABH views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that ABH management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA for ABH to operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024.

SCHEDULE 2: Cash and Debt
The following presentation is provided to separately identify cash and debt information. ABH cash decreased $60 million during the second quarter due to cash used in operations primarily driven by seasonal working capital changes as well as increases in restricted cash held and capital expenditures, partially offset by net borrowings. ABH debt increased $20 million in the second quarter primarily due to borrowings on the mixed-use development credit facilities to support current capital projects.
