WYOMISSING, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PENN Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: PENN) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Jay Snowden, Chief Executive Officer and President, said: “Our retail properties delivered solid results this quarter as our best-in-class team of operators continues to execute across our diverse portfolio of market leading assets. In our Interactive segment, top-of-funnel growth, improved risk and trading execution, and refined promotional strategies contributed to better-than-expected revenue and Adjusted EBITDA results.
Healthy Retail Business
Property level highlights1:
- Revenues of $1.4 billion;
- Adjusted EBITDAR of $496.6 million; and
- Adjusted EBITDAR margins of 34.8%.
“Our retail business remained stable as consistent consumer trends, our diverse portfolio, and recent capital investments offset known, new supply in certain markets,” said Mr. Snowden. “We remain focused on database growth and driving engagement through new technology, continued investment in our gaming and non-gaming offerings, and local and national partnerships related to our food and beverage offerings. Cross-sell opportunities from our ESPN BET customers remain a key growth driver for us, as our PENN Play™ database has grown to approximately 31 million members, including 3.8 million in our digital database, which is an increase of more than 80% since the launch of ESPN BET. We are also making solid progress on our four development projects, all of which remain on budget and on schedule.
Interactive Business Benefits from Operational Improvements
Interactive segment highlights:
- Revenues of $232.6 million (including tax gross up of $82.1 million); and
- Adjusted EBITDA loss of $102.8 million.
“In our Interactive segment, we delivered record quarterly gaming revenue driven by enhanced risk and trading processes and deliberate reinvestment strategies. We will maintain our disciplined approach to customer engagement when we launch ESPN BET in New York in late August2, where we will benefit from ESPN’s extensive linear and digital reach. We recently began the rollout of our ESPN BET product enhancements and will launch the remaining key upgrades prior to the start of college football and our launch in New York. In parallel, our partners at ESPN are expanding our unique ESPN BET media integrations, including those with ESPN’s leading fantasy football product which boasts over 12 million active users.”
1 Property level consists of retail operating segments which are composed of our Northeast, South, West, and Midwest reportable segments.
2 Subject to regulatory approvals.
Liquidity and Financial Position
Total liquidity as of June 30, 2024 was $1.9 billion inclusive of $877.6 million in Cash and cash equivalents. Traditional net debt as of the end of the quarter was $1.7 billion.
ESG – Caring for our People, our Communities and our Planet
“We are proud to report that the PENN Diversity Scholarship Fund awarded over $1 million in scholarships to children of our team members in the quarter, and we look forward to celebrating the graduating class of 44 scholars from the inaugural year of the program. This quarter we also kicked off our annual corporate ‘Days of Listening’ to gather feedback from team members on all matters of diversity and inclusion. Finally, we were honored to be named as one of the ‘Best of the Best 2024 Top Diverse Employer’ by Diversity Magazine,” concluded Mr. Snowden.
