Exhibit 99.2 FEBRUARY 2023


SAFE HARBOUR MSGE Spinco, Inc. (to be renamed Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. in connection with the Distribution as defined in the Form 10) (the Company ) has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form 10. The Form 10 contains extensive disclosure about the Company and its business, including selected historical and pro forma financial information and risk factors that an investor should consider before deciding whether to invest in securities of the Company. This presentation may contain statements that constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, certain expectations, goals, projections, and benefits. Words or phrases “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “intends,” “plans,” and similar words and terms used in the discussion of future operating and future financial performance identify forward looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results, developments or events may differ materially from those in the forward looking statements as a result of v arious factors, including, but not limited to, the performance of the Company and its business and operations, its financial condition, factors affecting the industries in which it operates, the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic and the factors described in the Form 10, including the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained therein. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or for any other reason, except to the extent required by law. Investors should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and should not regard the inclusion of such statements as representations by the Company that its plans and objectives will be achieved or realized. Investors are further advised to consult any further disclosures by the Company in its subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES We define adjusted operating income (loss) (“AOI”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) excluding (i) the impact of non- cash straight-line leasing revenue associated w ith the Arena License Agreements w ith Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ( MSG Sports ), (ii) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, (iii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs, (iv) share-based compensation expense, (v ) restructuring charges or credits, (v i) merger and acquisition-related costs, including litigation expenses, (vii) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, (viii) the impa ct of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, and (ix) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under Mad ison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (w hich was established in November 2021). We believe that given the length of the Arena License Agreements and resulting magnitude of the difference in leasing revenue recognized and cash revenue received, the exc lusion of non-cash leasing revenue provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance. Management believes that th is adjustment is beneficial for other incremental reasons as w ell. This adjustment provides senior management, investors and analysts w ith imp ortant information regarding a long-term related party agreement with M SG Sports. I n addition, this adjustment is included under the Company's debt covenant compliance calculation and is a component of the performance measures used to evaluate, and compensate senior management of t he Company. We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of our business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. We eliminate merger and acquisition -related costs, w hen applicable, because the Company does not consider such costs to be indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company as they result from an ev ent that is of a non-recurring nature, thereby enhancing comparability. In addition, management believes that the exclusion of gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under M SG Entertainment’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, w hich were includ ed for the first time in Fiscal Year 2022, provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance given that, in accordance with GAAP, gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under M SG Entertainment’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan are recogni zed in Operating (income) loss whereas gains and losses related to the remeasurement of the assets under M SG Entertainment’s Executive Deferre d Compensation Plan, w hich are equal to and therefore fully offset the gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities, are recognize d in Other income (expense), net, w hich is not reflected in Operating income (loss). We believe AOI is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a combined basis. AOI and similar measures w ith similar titles are common performance measures used by inv estors and analysts to analyze our performance. Internally, we use revenues and AOI as the most important indicators of our business performance, and evaluate management’s effectiveness w ith specific reference to these indicators. AOI should be v iewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from oper ating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance w ith U .S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Since AOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures w ith simila r titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation from Operating I ncome (U .S. GAAP Basis) to AOI please refer to the appendix w ithin this prese ntation. 3
