We generate revenue from the following principal sources:

Where we own the intellectual property relating to sports events, principally in our mass participation sports business, we derive a significant proportion of our revenue from event entry fees and other event-related fees, such as host city fees, and otherwise monetize our intellectual property through sponsorship, event and product licensing, merchandising and media distribution opportunities.
Where we do not own the intellectual property relating to sports events, generally in our spectator sports business, we enter into rights-in arrangements and, in turn, enter into rights-out arrangements to engage the rest of the sports ecosystem, deriving revenue principally from media distribution, sponsorship and marketing activities.
We also derive revenue by providing our partners a comprehensive suite of specialized sports-related services, drawing from our in-house DPSS capabilities, including event operation and support, innovative digital media solutions, media and program production, host broadcasting, marketing services, event operations services, brand development services, advertising solutions and ancillary services (such as sponsorship and broadcaster servicing, venue advertising solutions, hospitality and ticketing).
