PENN today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Revenue for the first-quarter was $1.67 billion, an increase of 7.0% year-over-year.

Net income of $514.4 million and net income margin of 30.7%, as compared to net income of $51.6 million and net income margin of 3.3% in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDAR of $478.2 million, a decrease of 3.3% year-over-year.

“The Interactive Segment generated year-over-year revenue improvement this quarter driven in part by our acquisition of Barstool Sports up 65%, while our EBITDA results reflect our investment in two state launches and low hold in January and February. Our mobile launches on January 1st in Ohio and March 10th in Massachusetts highlight the advantages of our organic, omni-channel customer acquisition strategy, as we leveraged our PENN Play™ database and the Barstool Sports audience to drive incremental revenue both online and at our retail properties.

Additionally, during March Madness, top Barstool personalities performed live streams from our market leading retail sportsbooks in Ohio and Louisiana, leading to increased brand awareness and digital engagement.

Jay Snowden, Chief Executive Officer and President, announced: “We are pleased to report that PENN delivered another solid quarter in what remains an uncertain macroeconomic environment. PENN generated first quarter revenues of $1.67 billion and Adjusted EBITDAR of $478.2 million as strong performance in the Northeast mostly offset softer year-over-year results in the South. In addition, our proprietary sports betting and iCasino technology platform, which is live in Ontario, continues to drive compelling results and market share. As previously announced, on February 17th we completed our acquisition of the remainder of Barstool Sports Inc. (“Barstool Sports” or “Barstool”). Accordingly, we are raising our prior 2023 revenue guidance range to $6.37 billion ‒ $6.81 billion to reflect the Barstool acquisition, which is neutral to Adjusted EBITDAR. As such, our prior 2023 Adjusted EBITDAR guidance range of $1.875 billion ‒ $2.0 billion remains unchanged.
