Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
WYOMISSING, Pa. - Penn Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PENN) reported better-than-expected second quarter results on Thursday, with adjusted earnings and revenue surpassing analyst estimates.
The company’s shares were up 1.88% in pre-market trading following the quarterly release.
The casino and entertainment company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.10, significantly outperforming the analyst consensus estimate of -$0.02. Revenue reached $1.77 billion, exceeding the $1.73 billion analysts had projected and growing compared to $1.66 billion in the same quarter last year.
Penn’s retail casino properties delivered a solid performance with revenue of $1.4 billion and adjusted EBITDAR margins of 33.8%. The company’s Interactive segment, which includes online sports betting and iCasino operations, generated record gaming revenue, though it still posted an adjusted EBITDA loss of $62 million.
"Customer demand in our core business was stable as properties not impacted by new supply grew revenue by nearly 4% YoY," said Jay Snowden, Chief Executive Officer and President. "Property-level performance was highlighted by theoretical revenue growth across all rated age and worth segments, as well as positive trends in unrated play, visitation, and spend per visit."
The company continued its share repurchase program, buying back 5.8 million shares for $90.3 million during the quarter at an average price of $15.47 per share. Penn remains committed to repurchasing at least $350 million of shares this year, having bought back $115.3 million through August 6.
Penn also completed a note repurchase transaction for approximately $233.5 million, eliminating about 9.6 million potentially dilutive shares associated with convertible notes.
The company is preparing to open its new Hollywood Casino (EPA:CASP) in Joliet on August 11, with additional development projects reportedly on budget and on schedule.
