Re: Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Budget
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Attached is the proposed FY 2020 operating budget for Five Flags Center. Contractually,the annual
increase in Five Flags operating budget is tied to the CPI-U for May of the preceding fiscal year. At
the present time, we are projecting a two percent (2%) increase in the CPI-U for FY20. Management
this fiscal year, has designed the FY20 budget to reflect a Net Operating Loss of($918,151), a
decrease of($2,244) over the fiscal year 2019's benchmark of($920,395).
The FY20 budget reflects an increase in revenue ($49,165), over FY19 forecasted revenue, utilizing
an aggressive approach to booking concerts, comedians, national touring acts, self-promoted events,
and working with returning events to maximize income. Also, we will aggressively pursue local
sponsorships and upgrade our concession offerings and pricing. The increase in expenses
($44,161), over FY19 forecasted expenses, reflects a reduction in Repair and Maintenance costs,
and an increase in benefits and wages.
Five Flags will be entering the sixteenth year of operation under the management of SMG and is
continuing to redefine and create new business. With local and regional events comprising the
majority of usage, last fiscal year, 56% of total programming was comprised by two categories—
"Performing Arts" and"Other" (Film festivals, dog park, weddings, etc.). Forging new relationships
with promoters, we are looking forward to increased concerts and family-oriented events.
