- Media rights deals with Paramount (UFC) and ESPN (WWE) are now live, providing a step change in high-margin revenue from FY2026 onwards.
- Management reframed 'site fees' as broader 'Financial Incentive Packages' (FIPs), forecasting ~$300M in value for 2026 and $380-420M by 2030.
- The flagship White House UFC event is set to lose ~$30M net, but is explicitly positioned as a strategic investment to drive Paramount+ subscribers and global awareness.

TKO discloses that its 'site fees' are broader than just cash, now termed 'Financial Incentive Packages' (FIPs), which include value-in-kind. This changes how investors should model international event economics.
