APRIL 28, 2021 / 12:00PM, SIX.N - Q1 2021 Six Flags Entertainment Corp Earnings Call I am pleased to be able to report that the 2021 season is off to a strong start despite the significant challenges due to the pandemic. Last year, we were the first company able to safely reopen a theme park in North America. This year, we had the first theme parks open in California, and in many cases, we have opened our parks earlier than in 2019. We have either opened or announced firm opening dates for all of our theme parks with the exception of Montreal. This is due to the creativity and adaptability of our Six Flags team who worked hard to establish the highest standards of cleanliness and safety protocols. I'm also pleased to report that our guests are excited to return to Six Flags, and we are seeing strong demand across all of our markets. I've spent the last couple of months visiting many of our parks, which has allowed me to connect with our great team members, understand reopening challenges, reinforce our priorities and examine the effectiveness of our operations. My time with our outstanding park leaders only reaffirms that we have a highly capable team, a healthy industry and a resilient business. Our full-time team members appreciate that we stood by them throughout the crisis and did not conduct furloughs, and they are excited to welcome back our guests to our parks. They are leading admirably in a complex operating environment. The signs of strong consumer demand for our parks are very clear. Through this past weekend, our year-to-date attendance trends have accelerated at our open parks, increasing to 79% of 2019 levels compared to 51% in the fourth quarter of 2020. We are seeing strong guest spending per capita, and our Active Pass Base has surpassed prior year first quarter levels, placing us solidly on track towards recovery. We have centered decision-making squarely on our guests, extending privileges for season passes and memberships, while also offering high tiered benefits to our members who continue their payments, and they have rewarded us with their loyalty. Experiencing such robust demand at this time of year does present operational challenges, however. We have encountered difficulty fully staffing our parks upon reopening with a shortage of labor availability due to many factors, including COVID schedules; immigration restrictions, limiting the number of international temporary worker visas; and extended unemployment benefits, keeping people at home. We expect these labor challenges to start to abate as we enter the core of our operating season. At the same time, the overall operating environment remains challenging as we balance the requirements of delivering a safe experience during the pandemic while still delighting our guests. Our safety protocols have reduced ride throughput, which can result in longer than normal lines and less rides per guest. We are continuing to require masks in our parks, but we'll constantly assess this policy and partnership with our industry, the CDC and local health officials. We are also working with local health officials on eliminating constraints around park capacity and ride seating as more Americans receive their vaccinations. Our outdoor venues have a tremendous amount of open space. Therefore, our parks are naturally conducive to social distancing, and all states are supportive of working with us to safely increase attendance levels. Our recent results in guest surveys indicate that there is extraordinary demand for outdoor entertainment options close to home. And we believe that this widespread desire will help drive attendance in the coming quarters. We see this as a golden opportunity to welcome new guests and delight our loyal fans. So we are focused on opening all of our parks and delivering a great, safe guest experience. So while it is still early in the season, we are pleased by recent trends and are optimistic about both the short and long-term prospects of our business. In the first quarter, we also continue to make progress on our transformation plan, which focuses on strengthening our core business, and we are on track to achieve our previously issued financial targets. I will now turn the call over to Sandeep, who will provide details about the quarter as well as our transformation plan and results. Sandeep? Sandeep Reddy - Six Flags Entertainment Corporation - Executive VP & CFO Thank you, Mike, and good morning to everyone. I want to start by stressing that results for the first quarter are not comparable to prior year because we closed all of our parks in mid-March last year, prior to the spring break for most of our parks. For that reason, I will provide comparisons to 2019. 3 REFINITIV STREETEVENTS | www.refinitiv.com | Contact Us ©2021 Refinitiv. All rights reserved.

APRIL 28, 2021 / 12:00PM, SIX.N - Q1 2021 Six Flags Entertainment Corp Earnings Call Total attendance for the quarter was 1.3 million guests, a 38% decline from first quarter 2019. Revenue in the quarter was down $46 million, or 36%, to $82 million. Because of our fiscal quarter change, our first fiscal quarter 2021 ended on April 4 instead of March 31, as it did in 2019. As a result, our 2021 results include 4 calendar days in April, when many of our parks operated, during which we had 293,000 of attendance. And this was inclusive of the Easter Holiday weekend. In 2019, the Easter Holiday, which affects the timing of spring break in many of our markets, occurred in the second quarter. So far, through this past weekend, year-to-date attendance at open parks is trending at 79% versus 2019. This trend includes the spring break period in both years and is a better representation of our run rate so far this year at our open parks.

We sit at the sweet spot of broad trends driving the “experience” and “membership” economies, while being insulated from the online threats impacting so many companies. I am very proud of our outstanding team members who overcame unprecedented natural events to deliver our eighth consecutive year of record financial performance in 2017. I am even more excited about our future as we continue to build our lucrative, recurring revenue base. In 2017, Adjusted EBITDA (1) grew two percent, and our Modified EBITDA (1) margin remained the industry high. We returned $727 million to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases and dividends and delivered a 16 percent total return. In addition, we increased our dividend twice since the third quarter 2017 to an annual run-rate of $3.12 per share. This marks our ninth consecutive year of dividend increases and provides a yield more than double the S&P 500, making us the ultimate growth and yield stock. Over the course of 2017, we made notable progress to advance all our five major growth areas: 1) Took pricing up 3-5 percent on all our tickets, while reaching new highs in our value-for-the- money-ratings and achieving the most successful pre-sale

    Dear Six Flags Stockholders, I am very proud of our outstanding team members who delivered the Company’s ninth consecutive year of record financial performance in 2018. Six Flags has developed a sustainable business model with a lucrative, recurring revenue base that allows us to grow every year, no matter the macroeconomic conditions or weather patterns. The foundation of our success is our people, our strategy, and the strongest and most recognized brand in the very attractive regional theme park industry. In 2018, revenue grew five percent, attendance grew five percent, net income increased one percent and Adjusted EBITDA (1) grew seven percent. Our Modified EBITDA (1) margin remained the industry high as we expanded our sources of high-margin revenue, efficiently invested in our business, and effectively managed costs. We made significant progress to strengthen our core business and advance all of our five major growth areas: 1) Upgraded our membership program by offering four premium-priced tiers with enhanced benefits and launched a membership loyalty program, helping us to grow our Active Pass Base—the number of guests who are enrolled in the Company’s membership program or have a season pass—by 8% to a new all-time high. 2) Raised admission prices while reaching new highs in our value-for-the-money-ratings. 3) Increased in-park spending through the higher penetration of our lucrative all season dining pass. 4) Integrated five new domestic parks into our portfolio, expanding our addressable market. 5) Increased the amount of high-margin revenue coming from our international agreements. Over the last five years we have generated an annualized total stockholder return of 13.8 percent compared to 8.5 percent from the S&P 500.
