Open the filing on EDGARPENN Entertainment, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results
WYOMISSING, PA (August 6, 2026) - PENN Entertainment, Inc. (“PENN” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PENN) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Jay Snowden, Chief Executive Officer and President, said: “We continued to execute against our 2026 strategic priorities this quarter: delivering Segment Adjusted EBITDAR growth, optimizing corporate overhead, growing cash flow, and deleveraging the balance sheet. PENN achieved record quarterly Retail segment revenues, supported by strong performance across our portfolio including our four recently completed development projects. Our Interactive segment remains on track to deliver upon our previously stated goals, supported by growth in U.S. iCasino and Canada. Adjusted EBITDA improved by $52.5 million year-over-year, reflecting disciplined execution of our strategy to drive profitability. The encouraging trends in our Retail and Interactive operating segments have continued through July.”
Second Quarter Retail Segment Highlights:
- Revenues of $1.5 billion;
- Segment Adjusted EBITDAR of $517.2 million; and
- Segment Adjusted EBITDAR margins of 34.4%.
“PENN’s geographically diverse Retail segment delivered portfolio-wide strength, with nine properties setting second-quarter records for revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR,” said Mr. Snowden. “We experienced another quarter of year-over-year growth in theoretical revenue, supported by meaningful contributions from mid- and high-worth customer segments, as well as growth in unrated revenue, underscoring broad-based consumer demand. Second-quarter Segment Adjusted EBITDAR margins improved quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, reflecting our property teams’ focus on converting solid demand into favorable operating results. In June 2026, we opened both the new hotel tower at Hollywood Columbus and the new Hollywood Casino Aurora, and early trends at both properties are encouraging, including strong visitation from VIP players.”
Second Quarter Interactive Segment Highlights:
- Revenues of $349.4 million (including tax gross up of $185.5 million); and
- Adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.5 million.
“Our Interactive segment delivered another quarter of meaningful year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA improvement. In the U.S., standalone Hollywood iCasino experienced quarter-over-quarter as well as year-over-year growth, achieving record quarterly revenues. In Ontario, gaming operations continued to gain momentum, supported by strong growth in online sports betting (“OSB”) revenues aided by solid World Cup engagement and cross-sell of the reactivated World Cup OSB user base into iCasino. We also successfully launched theScore Bet, as well as theScore Casino and Hollywood iCasino standalone apps, in Alberta on July 13,” concluded Mr. Snowden.
Retail Segment consists of retail operating segments which are composed of our Northeast, South, West, and Midwest reportable segments.

Reportable Segment Measures
Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is our measure of profit or loss for our reportable segments and underlying operating segments. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDAR as earnings before interest expense, net, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, debt extinguishment charges, impairment losses, insurance recoveries, net of deductible charges, changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent purchase price obligations, gain or loss on disposal of assets, the difference between budget and actual expense for cash-settled stock-based awards, pre-opening expenses, loss on disposal of a business, non-cash gains/losses associated with REIT transactions, and other. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR excludes rent expense associated with triple net operating leases (which is a normal, recurring cash operating expense necessary to operate our business). Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is inclusive of income or loss from unconsolidated affiliates, with our share of non-operating items (such as interest expense, net, and depreciation and amortization) added back for our Kansas Entertainment, LLC joint venture. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR margin is Segment Adjusted EBITDAR divided by related segment revenues.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Non-GAAP Financial Measures used in this press release include Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Traditional net debt, Traditional net leverage ratio, and Lease-adjusted net leverage ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We define Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, net, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, debt extinguishment charges, impairment losses, insurance recoveries, net of deductible charges, changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent purchase price obligations, gain or loss on disposal of assets, the difference between budget and actual expense for cash-settled stock-based awards, pre-opening expenses, loss on disposal of a business, non-cash gains/losses associated with REIT transactions, and other. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is inclusive of income or loss from unconsolidated affiliates, with our share of non-operating items (such as interest expense, net, and depreciation and amortization) added back for our Kansas Entertainment, LLC joint venture. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is inclusive of rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases with our REIT landlords. Although Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA includes rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases, we believe Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our consolidated results of operations.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA has economic substance because it is used by management as a performance measure to analyze the performance of our business, and is especially relevant in evaluating large, long-lived casino-hotel projects because it provides a perspective on the current effects of operating decisions separated from the substantial non-operational depreciation charges and financing costs of such projects. We present Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors and creditors as an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations, including our ability to service debt, and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, and operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA calculations certain corporate expenses that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA information is presented as a supplemental disclosure, as management believes that it is a commonly used measure of performance in the gaming industry and that it is considered by many to be a key indicator of the Company’s operating results.
Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings or loss per share adjusted to exclude gains/losses on the disposal of a business, non-cash gains/losses associated with REIT transactions, impairment losses, pre-opening expenses, debt extinguishment charges, gains/losses on the disposal of assets, foreign currency gains/losses, transaction related expenses, business interruption insurance proceeds, net gains/losses related to equity investments, and other.
Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes this measure is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company’s operations to assist investors in reviewing the Company’s operating performance over time. Management believes it is useful to exclude certain items when comparing current performance to prior periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events. Further, management believes certain excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. Adjusted EPS should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP earnings per share as an indicator of the Company’s performance.
We calculate Traditional net debt as Total traditional debt, which is the principal amount of debt outstanding less Cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that Traditional net debt is an important measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet. With respect to Traditional net debt, Cash and cash equivalents are subtracted from the GAAP measure because they could be used to reduce the Company’s debt obligations. A limitation associated with using Traditional net debt is that it subtracts Cash and cash equivalents and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. Management believes that investors may find it useful to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.
The Company’s Traditional net leverage ratio is defined as Traditional net debt (as defined above) divided by (i) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the trailing twelve months plus (ii) rent expense associated with triple net operating leases for the trailing twelve months less (iii) cash rent payments to REIT landlords for the trailing twelve months. Management believes this measure is useful as a supplemental measure and provides an indication of the results generated by the Company in relation to its level of indebtedness with the cash generated from Company operations.
The Company’s Lease-adjusted net leverage ratio’s numerator is calculated as cash rent payments to REIT landlords for the trailing twelve months capitalized at 8 times plus Traditional net debt (as defined above). The Company’s Lease-adjusted net leverage ratio’s denominator is Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the trailing twelve months plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases for the trailing twelve months. Management believes this measure is useful as a supplemental measure and provides an indication of the results generated by the Company in relation to its level of indebtedness (including leases) with the cash generated from Company operations.
Each of these non-GAAP financial measures is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure of comparing performance among different companies. See the tables above, which present reconciliations of these measures to the GAAP equivalent financial measures.
