Universal’s theme park operations generated $2.413 billion in revenue during the second quarter of 2026, marking a modest 2.7% increase from the previous year. The growth was driven mainly by strong performance at Universal Orlando and the full-year contribution of the newly opened Epic Universe. However, these gains were partially counterbalanced by weaker revenue streams from international parks. Despite higher sales, adjusted EBITDA for the segment declined by 5.1% to $609 million as operating expenses rose faster than income. The company noted that attendance levels began to decline in June, falling short of internal forecasts. No specific attendance numbers were released for comparison against prior periods. Overall, the financial picture reflects a mix of new attraction success and operational challenges heading into peak summer season.
