• <br />FINANCIAL <br />ANALYSIS <br />The breakdown revenue streams is as follows: <br />Rental Income <br />Rental income may come in the form of <br />an annual payment from the anchor tenant, a per - <br />event amount, or any other negotiated amount set <br />forth in the lease agreement. In many cases, <br />however, the anchor tenants rent will be <br />considered to be derived through the landlord's <br />sharing in other revenue streams such as <br />concessions and parking. In these cases, there is <br />no direct rental payments made by the team <br />owner although revenues may be derived <br />through the rental of the arena for other uses, <br />such as college or amateur sports, concerts, and <br />family shows. Again, this analysis does not <br />assume any lease terms for the anchor tenant. <br />Concessions/Novelty Income <br />Concession and novelty income <br />continues to increase with the advent of larger <br />concourses, a more diverse menu, more points of <br />sale, and waiter/waitress service. In many cases, <br />a third party concessionaire will be contracted to <br />manage the food service for a large venue. <br />Typically concessionaire contracts dictate that <br />35% to 40% of the gross sales is provided in a <br />' commission" to the facility owner, although this <br />"commission" may be less where the <br />concessionaire is required to invest in food <br />service equipment. This commission may be <br />divided between the team and the building owner <br />per their lease agreement. The remaining <br />commissions go to the private food contractor. <br />This analysis assumes that the average attendee <br />will spend $4.78 per visit (in 2003 dollars) in the <br />first year of arena operations with an estimated <br />25% commission from the revenues accruing to <br />• <br />the Arena. The estimated average per capita <br />spending related to concessions is projected to <br />increase at roughly 4% per annum <br />Naming Rights <br />The practice of selling naming rights <br />that occurs in major league arenas and stadia is <br />now beginning to appear as a revenue <br />opportunity among minor league facilities. Due <br />to Seattle-Bellevue-Everett's strong corporate <br />market, as detailed in the Market Analysis phase <br />of the feasibility study, the Everett facility <br />should have substantial opportunity to transacra <br />multi -million dollar sale of the arena's naming <br />rights. <br />The pricing of these rights at the minor <br />league level are very much in flux and are often <br />complicated by the inclusion of a broader <br />' sponsorship' relationship extending far beyond <br />the stadium s name itself. Recent corporate <br />sponsors include the Ryder Corporation, which <br />reportedly signed a long-term, multi -million <br />doll deal to name the University of Miami <br />Arena (Home of Big East Conference's Miami <br />Hurricanes), PepsiCo which paid $3.0 million <br />over 10 years to name the Albany River Rats' <br />arena, and TECO Energy which paid a reported <br />$7.0 million over 20 years to name the Florida <br />Everblades' arena. Naming rights are estimated <br />to be $500,000 per year in the cashflow analysis. <br />Pouring Rights <br />Pouring rights have become a <br />significant source of additional income for <br />arenas and stadia Typically, pouring rights <br />contracts dictate that a fee be paid directly to the <br />building owner by a beverage supply company. <br />City of Everett — Arena Feasibility Analysis <br />Page 38 <br />
