PENN ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1— Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization : PENN Entertainment, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“PENN,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), is North America’s leading provider of integrated entertainment, sports content, and casino gaming experiences. As of June 30, 2023, PENN operated 43 properties in 20 states, online sports betting in 17 jurisdictions and iCasino in five jurisdictions, under a portfolio of well-recognized brands including Hollywood Casino®, L’Auberge®, Barstool Sportsbook® and theScore Bet Sportsbook and Casino®. In August 2023, PENN entered into a transformative, exclusive long-term strategic alliance with ESPN, Inc. and ESPN Enterprises, Inc. (together, “ESPN”) relating to online sports betting within the United States. In the fall of 2023, the existing Barstool Sportsbook will be rebranded across all online platforms in the United States as ESPN Bet, and our online product will include a Hollywood-branded integrated iCasino where permitted. PENN’s ability to leverage the leading sports media brands in the United States (ESPN) and Canada (theScore) will position us to significantly expand our digital footprint and efficiently grow our customer ecosystem. This highly differentiated strategy, which is focused on organic cross-sell opportunities, is reinforced by our investment in market-leading retail casinos, sports media assets and technology, including a proprietary state-of-the-art, fully integrated digital sports and iCasino betting platform and an in-house iCasino content studio. PENN’s portfolio is further bolstered by our industry-leading PENN Play TM customer loyalty program, which offers our approximately 27 million members a unique set of rewards and experiences across business channels.
The majority of the real estate assets (i.e., land and buildings) used in our operations are subject to triple net master leases; the most significant of which are the AR PENN Master Lease, 2023 Master Lease, PENN Master Lease (prior to January 1, 2023), and Pinnacle Master Lease (as such terms are defined in Note 9, “Leases” and collectively referred to as the “Master Leases”), with Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLPI) (“GLPI”), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”).
Basis of Presentation: The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be achieved during a full year of operations or in future periods. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Note 2— Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PENN Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates that do not meet the consolidation criteria of the authoritative guidance for voting interest entities (“VOEs”) or variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period presentation.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents
Segment Information: We have five reportable segments: Northeast, South, West, Midwest, and Interactive. Our gaming and racing properties are grouped by geographic location, and each is viewed as an operating segment with the exception of our two properties in Jackpot, Nevada, which are viewed as one operating segment. We consider our combined Video Gaming Terminal (“VGT”) operations, by state, to be separate operating segments. Interactive includes all of our online sports betting, iCasino and social gaming operations, management of retail sports betting, media, and the operating results of Barstool Sports, Inc. (“Barstool”) (the remaining 64 % of Barstool common stock, not already owned by PENN, was acquired on February 17, 2023) (see Note 6, “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for further information). See Note 16, “Segment Information” and Note 9, “Leases” for further segment and lease structure information, respectively.

Customer-related Liabilities
The Company has three general types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (i) the obligation associated with its PENN Play program (loyalty points and tier status benefits), (ii) advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided and for unpaid wagers, and (iii) deferred revenue associated with third-party online sports betting and/or iCasino operators for online sports betting and iCasino market access.
Our PENN Play program connects the Company’s brands under one loyalty program and allows members to earn loyalty points, or “PENN Cash”, redeemable for slot play and complimentaries, such as food and beverage at our restaurants, lodging at our hotels, the PENN Play redemption marketplace that features popular retailers, and products offered at our retail stores across the vast majority of our properties. In addition, members of the PENN Play program earn credit toward tier status, which entitles them to receive certain other benefits, such as priority access, discounts, gifts, trips to PENN destinations, partner experiences, and PENN Cash. The obligation associated with our PENN Play program, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $ 43.0 million and $ 39.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and consisted principally of the obligation associated with the loyalty points. Our loyalty point obligations are generally settled within six months of issuance. Changes between the opening and closing balances primarily relate to the timing of our customers’ election to redeem loyalty points as well as the timing of when our customers receive their earned tier status benefits.
The Company’s advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided and for unpaid wagers primarily consist of the following: (i) deposits on rooms and convention space, (ii) money deposited on behalf of a customer in advance of their property visit (referred to as “safekeeping” or “front money”), (iii) money deposited in an online wallet not yet wagered or wagered and not yet withdrawn, (iv) outstanding tickets generated by slot machine play, sports betting, or pari-mutuel wagering, (v) outstanding chip liabilities, (vi) unclaimed jackpots, and (vii) gift cards redeemable at our properties. Unpaid wagers generally represent obligations stemming from prior wagering events, of which revenue was previously recognized. The Company’s advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided and for unpaid wagers were $ 95.1 million and $ 125.8 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents
The Company’s deferred revenue is primarily related to PENN Interactive, our wholly-owned interactive division, which enters into multi-year agreements with third-party online sports betting and/or iCasino operators for online sports betting and iCasino market access across our portfolio of properties. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $ 1.0 million and $ 1.7 million of previously deferred revenue, respectively, as compared to $ 3.0 million and $ 3.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Deferred revenue primarily associated with third-party online sports betting and/or iCasino operators for online sports betting and iCasino market access, which is included in “Other long-term liabilities” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $ 57.3 million and $ 46.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Advertising: The Company expenses advertising costs the first time the advertising takes place or as incurred. Advertising expenses, which generally relate to media placement costs and are primarily included in “Gaming” expenses within the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, were $ 20.8 million and $ 44.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $ 18.5 million and $ 42.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Gaming and Pari-mutuel Taxes: We are subject to gaming and pari-mutuel taxes based on gross gaming revenue and pari-mutuel revenue in the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as taxes on revenues derived from arrangements which allow for third-party online sports betting and/or iCasino partners to operate online sportsbooks and iCasinos under our gaming licenses. The Company primarily recognizes gaming and pari-mutuel tax expense based on the statutorily required percentage of revenue that is required to be paid to state, provincial and/or local jurisdictions in the states and provinces where or in which the wagering occurs. Also, included in gaming and pari-mutuel taxes are costs to support the operations of local regulatory authorities which some jurisdictions require us to pay. Gaming and pari-mutuel taxes are recorded in “Gaming” expenses or “Food, beverage, hotel, and other” expenses within the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, and were $ 560.5 million and $ 1.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $ 486.8 million and $ 959.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Inventory, net: Inventory is accounted for using the average cost or first-in or first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory accounted for under the average cost and FIFO methods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory balances substantially consist of finished goods and were $ 26.4 million and $ 5.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency in which the subsidiary operates. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to other comprehensive income or loss. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in “Other” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss: Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and all other non-stockholder changes in equity, or other comprehensive income (loss). The balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss consists solely of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the additional dilution, if any, for all potentially-dilutive securities such as stock options, unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (collectively with RSAs, “restricted stock”), outstanding convertible preferred stock and convertible debt.
Holders of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 13, “Stockholders' Equity and Stock-based Compensation” ) are entitled to participate equally and ratably in all dividends and distributions paid to holders of PENN common stock irrespective of any vesting requirement. Accordingly, the Series D Preferred Stock shares are considered a participating security and the Company is required to apply the two-class method to consider the impact of the preferred shares on the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. The holders of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock are not obligated to absorb losses; therefore, in reporting periods where the Company is in a net loss position, it does not apply the two-class method. In reporting periods where the Company is in a net income position, the two-class method is applied by allocating all earnings during the period to common shares and preferred shares. See Note 14, “Earnings per Share” for more information.
Voting Interest Entities and Variable Interest Entities: The Company consolidates all subsidiaries or other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The consolidation guidance requires an analysis to determine if an entity should be evaluated for consolidation using the VOE model or the VIE model. Under the VOE model, controlling financial interest is generally defined as a majority ownership of voting rights. Under the VIE model, controlling financial interest is defined as (i) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and (ii) the obligation to
12
Table of Contents
absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. For those entities that qualify as a VIE, the primary beneficiary is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of every VOE in which it has a controlling financial interest and VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. See Note 10, “Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates.”
Note 3— New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies the guidance on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction and requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security. Specifically, ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a “contractual sale restriction prohibiting the sale of an equity security is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security” and is not included in the equity security’s unit of account. Accordingly, the Company is no longer permitted to apply a discount related to the contractual sale restriction, or lack of marketability, when measuring the equity security’s fair value. In addition, ASU 2022-03 prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. ASU 2022-03 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-03 on our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2023-02”). ASU 2023-02 introduced the option to apply the proportional amortization method to account for investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits when certain requirements are met. In addition, ASU 2023-02 limited the proportional amortization method to investments in low-income-housing tax credit structures. ASU 2023-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-02 on our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and determined that it is immaterial.
Note 4— Hurricane Laura
On August 27, 2020, Hurricane Laura made landfall in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which caused significant damage to our L’Auberge Lake Charles property, which closed for approximately two weeks. The Company maintains insurance, subject to certain deductibles and coinsurance, that covers business interruption, including lost profits, and covers the repair or replacement of assets that suffered losses.
The Company recorded a receivable relating to our estimate of repairs and maintenance costs which have been incurred and property and equipment which have been written off, and for which we deem the recovery of such costs and property and equipment from our insurers to be probable. The insurance recovery receivable was included in “Accounts Receivable, net” within the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. As we deemed it probable that the proceeds to be recovered from our insurers would exceed the total of our insurance recovery recorded and our insurers’ deductible and coinsurance, we did not record any loss associated with the impact of this natural disaster. Timing differences exist between the recognition of (i) impairment losses and capital expenditures made to repair or restore the assets and (ii) the receipt of insurance proceeds within the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received additional insurance claim proceeds totaling $ 13.6 million, which resulted in a gain of $ 13.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received proceeds of $ 37.5 million, which resulted in a gain of $ 8.8 million. The gains are included in “General and administrative expenses” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, we did not have a receivable balance as of December 31, 2022.
Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company received insurance payments totaling $ 13.9 million. As of August 8, 2023, the insurance claim remains open, and we expect to receive additional future proceeds.
We record proceeds in excess of the recognized losses and lost profits under our business interruption insurance as a gain contingency in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies,” which we expect to recognize at the time of final settlement or when nonrefundable cash advances are made in a period subsequent to June 30, 2023.

Note 6— Acquisitions and Dispositions
Barstool
On February 17, 2023, we acquired the remaining 64 % of the outstanding shares of Barstool common stock not already owned by us for a consideration of approximately $ 405.5 million, which is inclusive of cash and common stock issuance, repayment of Barstool indebtedness of $ 23.8 million, transaction expenses and other purchase price adjustments in accordance with GAAP (the “Barstool Acquisition”). Prior to the acquisition, we held a 36 % ownership interest, which was accounted for under the equity method. At the closing of the Barstool Acquisition, we obtained 100 % of the Barstool common stock, and determined the fair value of Barstool to be $ 660.0 million based on market participant assumptions, as discussed below. Upon the completion of the Barstool Acquisition, Barstool became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PENN. We issued 2,442,809 shares of our common stock to certain former stockholders of Barstool for the Barstool Acquisition (see Note 13, “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation” for further information) and utilized $ 315.3 million of cash to complete the Barstool Acquisition, inclusive of transaction expenses and repayment of Barstool indebtedness.
The Company held 36 % of the outstanding shares of Barstool common stock prior to the Barstool Acquisition and, as such, the acquisition date estimated fair value of this previously held investment was a component of the purchase consideration. Based on the acquisition date fair value of Barstool of $ 660.0 million and the carrying amount of this investment of $ 171.1 million, the Company recorded a gain of $ 66.5 million related to remeasurement of the equity investment immediately prior to the acquisition date, which is included in “Gain on Barstool Acquisition, net” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also recorded a gain of $ 16.9 million related to the acquisition of the remaining 64 % of Barstool common stock, which is included in “Gain on Barstool Acquisition, net” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company used the income, or cost approach for the valuation, as appropriate, and used valuation inputs in these models and analyses that were based on market participant assumptions. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
Acquired identifiable intangible assets consisted of the Barstool tradename, advertising relationships, other tradenames and brands, and customer relationships. The Barstool tradename was determined to be an indefinite-lived intangible asset. All other intangible assets were determined to be definite-lived with assigned useful lives primarily ranging from 2 - 5 years.
Goodwill, none of which was deductible for tax purposes, is approximately 35.1 % of the net assets acquired and was allocated to the Company’s Interactive segment. Goodwill was primarily attributable to synergies and cross selling opportunities to Barstool’s existing customer base.
The following valuation approaches were utilized to determine the fair value of each intangible asset at the February 17, 2023 acquisition date:
Intangible Asset Valuation Approach
Barstool tradename Relief-from-royalty (variation of income approach)
Advertising relationships With-and-without (variation of income approach)
Other tradenames and brands Relief-from-royalty (variation of income approach)
Customer relationships Replacement cost
Barstool’s revenue and net loss are included in our results for the period beginning February 17, 2023 through June 30, 2023. Barstool’s revenue and net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023, included in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, were $ 52.7 million and $ 12.8 million, respectively. Barstool’s revenue and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, included in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, were $ 80.9 million and $ 16.1 million, respectively.

On August 8, 2023, PENN entered into a Sportsbook Agreement (the “Sportsbook Agreement”) with ESPN, which provides for a long-term strategic relationship between PENN and ESPN relating to online sports betting in the United States. Pursuant to the Sportsbook Agreement, PENN will rebrand its existing Barstool Sportsbook across all online platforms in the United States as ESPN Bet (the “Sportsbook”) and will oversee daily operations of the Sportsbook. See Note 17, “Subsequent Events” for more information related to the Sportsbook Agreement.
In connection with PENN’s decision to rebrand our online sports betting business from Barstool Sportsbook to ESPN Bet pursuant to the Sportsbook Agreement as discussed above, PENN entered into a stock purchase agreement with David Portnoy (the “Barstool SPA”) on August 8, 2023. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN sold 100 % of the outstanding shares of Barstool to David Portnoy in exchange for a nominal cash consideration ($ 1.00 dollar) and certain non-compete and other restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN has the right to receive 50 % of the gross proceeds received by David Portnoy in any subsequent sale or other monetization event of Barstool.
On August 8, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the sale to David Portnoy and we classified the assets and liabilities to be disposed in connection with the Barstool SPA as held-for-sale which are measured at the lower of (i) the carrying value when we classified the disposal group as held-for-sale and (ii) the fair value of the disposal group, less costs to sell. The classification of the Barstool business as held-for-sale was considered an event or change in circumstance which requires an assessment of the goodwill and intangible assets of the disposal group for impairment each reporting period until disposal. We are currently quantifying the impact of the Barstool SPA to our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, however we expect the carrying value of the net assets held-for-sale to be greater than their fair value, less costs to sell, which is expected to result in a material non-cash loss and the corresponding reversal of the net deferred tax liability of approximately $ 115.9 million that will have a significant impact to income taxes. See Note 11, “Income Taxes.” The pre-tax non-cash loss on disposal is estimated to be between $ 800.0 million and $ 850.0 million (inclusive of $ 705.0 million to $ 720.0 million in goodwill and intangible assets write offs) to be incurred in the third quarter of 2023. These material adjustments will be reflected in our September 30, 2023 unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN will indemnify Barstool and its subsidiaries and David Portnoy for certain tax matters. We are unable to assess the potential financial impact to the Company of this indemnification. As a result, we cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments under this indemnity. To the extent that a claim is made under this indemnity and/or becomes probable and reasonably estimable, liabilities associated with this indemnity will be recorded and included in the Company’s commitments and contingencies disclosure in Note 12 “ Commitments and Contingencies . ”
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table includes unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information assuming our acquisition of Barstool had occurred as of January 1, 2022. The pro forma amounts include the historical operating results of PENN and Barstool prior to our acquisition. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent the results that may occur in the future. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition include acquisition and transaction related costs of $ 1.0 million, as compared to $ 2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, incurred by both PENN and Barstool. Pro forma adjustments also included a $ 83.4 million gain on the Barstool Acquisition for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 pro forma adjustments included a gain of $ 3.1 million, as compared to a gain of $ 1.5 million and $ 5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, related to remeasurement and settlement of Barstool put/call options.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
In January 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to amend and restate its previous credit agreement, dated October 30, 2013, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which provided for: (i) a five-year $ 700 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”); (ii) a five-year $ 300 million Term Loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”); and (iii) a seven-year $ 500 million Term Loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility” and collectively with the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).
On October 15, 2018, in connection with the acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (“Pinnacle”), the Company entered into an incremental joinder agreement (the “Incremental Joinder”), which amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Incremental Joinder provided for an additional $ 430.2 million of incremental loans having the same terms as the existing Term Loan A Facility, with the exception of extending the maturity date, and an additional $ 1.1 billion of loans as a new tranche having new terms (the “Term Loan B-1 Facility”). With the exception of extending the maturity date, the Incremental Joinder did not impact the Revolving Facility.
On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its various lenders (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $ 1.0 billion revolving credit facility, undrawn at close, (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), a five-year $ 550.0 million term loan A facility (the “Amended Term Loan A Facility”) and a seven-year $ 1.0 billion term loan B facility (the “Amended Term Loan B Facility”) (together, the “Amended Credit Facilities”). The proceeds from the Amended Credit Facilities were used to repay the existing Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B-1 Facility balances.
The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Amended Credit Facilities are, at the Company’s option, equal to either an adjusted secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) or a base rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for each of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the Amended Term Loan A Facility was initially 1.75 % for Term SOFR loans and 0.75 % for base rate loans until the Company provided financial reports for the first full fiscal quarter following closing and, thereafter, ranges from 2.25 % to 1.50 % per annum for Term SOFR loans and 1.25 % to 0.50 % per annum for base rate loans, in each case depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio (as defined within the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The applicable margin for the Amended Term Loan B Facility is 2.75 % per annum for Term SOFR loans and 1.75 % per annum for base rate loans. The Amended Term Loan B Facility is subject to a Term SOFR “floor” of 0.50 % per annum and a base rate “floor” of 1.50 % per annum. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility at a rate that was initially 0.25 % per annum, until the Company provided financial reports for the first full fiscal quarter following closing, and thereafter, ranges from 0.35 % to 0.20 % per annum, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
The Amended Credit Facilities contain customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, pay dividends and make other restricted payments and prepay certain indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the obligations under the Amended Credit Facilities. The Amended Credit Facilities contain two financial covenants: a maximum total net leverage ratio (as defined within the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of 4.50 to 1.00, which is subject to a step up to 5.00 to 1.00 in the case of certain significant acquisitions, and a minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined within the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of 2.00 to 1.00. The Amended Credit Facilities also contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the documents governing the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), termination and certain defaults under the Master Leases (which are defined in Note 9, “Leases” ).
In connection with the repayment of the previous Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company recorded a $ 10.4 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, we recorded $ 1.3 million in refinancing costs, which is included in “General and administrative” within our Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we recorded $ 5.0 million of original issue discount related to the Amended Term Loan B Facility which will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Amended Term Loan B Facility.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had conditional obligations under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Amended Credit Facilities with face amounts aggregating to $ 23.4 million and $ 22.5 million, respectively, resulting in $ 976.6 million and $ 977.5 million of available borrowing capacity under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.

2.75 % Unsecured Convertible Notes
In May 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $ 330.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75 % unsecured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) that mature, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, on May 15, 2026 at a price of par.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no Convertible Notes have been converted into the Company’s common stock. The maximum number of shares that could be issued to satisfy the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes was 18,360,815 and the amount by which the Convertible Notes if-converted value exceeded its principal amount was $ 110.7 million, as of June 30, 2023.
The Convertible Notes consisted of the following components:

Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes at an effective interest rate of 3.329 %. The remaining term of the Convertible Notes was 2.9 years as of June 30, 2023.
Covenants
Our Amended Credit Facilities, 5.625 % Notes and 4.125 % Notes, require us, among other obligations, to maintain specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial tests. In addition, our Amended Credit Facilities, 5.625 % Notes and 4.125 % notes, restrict, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, amend debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments, engage in mergers or consolidations, and otherwise restrict corporate activities. Our debt agreements also contain customary events of default, including cross-default provisions that require us to meet certain requirements under the Master Leases (which are defined in Note 9, “Leases” ), each with GLPI. If we are unable to meet our financial covenants or in the event of a cross-default, it could trigger an acceleration of payment terms.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants. The Company believes that it will remain in compliance with all of its required financial covenants for at least the next twelve months following the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC.

Other Long-Term Obligations
Other Long-term Obligation
In February 2021, we entered into a financing arrangement providing the Company with upfront cash proceeds while permitting us to participate in future proceeds on certain claims. The financing obligation has been classified as a non-current liability, which is expected to be settled in a future period of which the principal is contingent and predicated on other events. Consistent with an obligor’s accounting under a debt instrument, period interest will be accreted using an effective interest rate of 27.0 % and until such time that the claims and related obligation is settled. The amount included in interest expense related to this obligation was $ 8.7 million and $ 16.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $ 6.7 million and $ 12.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Ohio Relocation Fees
Other long-term obligations included $ 27.4 million at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, related to the relocation fees for Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway (“Dayton”) and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course (“Mahoning Valley”), which opened in August 2014 and September 2014, respectively. The relocation fee for each facility is payable as follows: $ 7.5 million upon the opening of the facilities and eighteen semi-annual payments of $ 4.8 million beginning one year after the commencement of operations. These obligations are accreted to interest expense at an effective yield of 5.0 %.
Event Center
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, other long-term obligations included $ 9.9 million and $ 10.7 million, respectively, related to the repayment obligation of a hotel and event center located less than a mile away from Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg, which was constructed by the City of Lawrenceburg Department of Redevelopment. Effective in January 2015, by contractual agreement, we assumed a repayment obligation for the hotel and event center in the amount of $ 15.3 million, which was financed through a loan with the City of Lawrenceburg Department of Redevelopment, in exchange for conveyance of the property. Beginning in January 2016, the Company was obligated to make annual payments on the loan of $ 1.0 million for 20 years. This obligation is accreted to interest expense at its effective yield of 3.0 %.
Note 9— Leases
Master Leases
The components contained within the Master Leases are accounted for as either (i) operating leases, (ii) finance leases, or (iii) financing obligations. Changes to future lease payments that are not fixed within the Master Leases (i.e., when future escalators become known or future variable rent resets occur), which are discussed below, require the Company to either (i) increase both the Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities with respect to operating and finance leases or (ii) record the incremental variable payment associated with the financing obligation to interest expense. In addition, prior to the effective date of the AR PENN Master Lease (as defined and as discussed below), monthly rent associated with Hollywood Casino Columbus (“Columbus”) and monthly rent in excess of the Hollywood Casino Toledo (“Toledo”) rent floor as contained within the PENN Master Lease (as defined and discussed below), were considered contingent rent.
AR PENN Master Lease
Prior to the effective date of the AR PENN Master Lease (as defined and discussed below) the Company leased real estate assets associated with 19 of the gaming facilities used in its operations via a triple net master lease with GLPI (the “PENN Master Lease”), which became effective November 1, 2013. The PENN Master Lease had an initial term of 15 years with four subsequent, five-year renewal periods on the same terms and conditions, exercisable at the Company’s option.
On February 21, 2023, the Company and GLPI entered into an agreement to amend and restate the PENN Master Lease (the “AR PENN Master Lease”), effective January 1, 2023, to (i) remove the land and buildings for Hollywood Casino Aurora (“Aurora”), Hollywood Casino Joliet (“Joliet”), Columbus, Toledo and the M Resort Spa Casino (“M Resort”), and (ii) make associated adjustments to the rent after which the initial rent in the AR PENN Master Lease will be $ 284.1 million, consisting of $ 208.2 million of building base rent, $ 43.0 million of land base rent and $ 32.9 million of percentage rent (as such terms are defined in the AR PENN Master Lease). Subsequent to the execution of the AR PENN Master Lease, the Company leases real estate assets associated with 14 of the gaming facilities used in its operations via a triple net master lease. The current term of the AR PENN Master Lease expires on October 31, 2033 and thereafter contains three renewal terms of five years each on the same terms and conditions, exercisable at the Company’s option. The AR PENN Master Lease along with the 2023 Master Lease (as defined and discussed below) are cross-defaulted, cross-collateralized, and coterminous, and subject to a parent guarantee.

Table of Contents
The payment structure under the AR PENN Master Lease includes a fixed component, a portion of which is subject to an annual escalator of up to 2 %, depending on the Adjusted Revenue to Rent Ratio (as defined in the AR PENN Master Lease) of 1.8 :1, and a component that is based on performance, which is prospectively adjusted every five years by an amount equal to 4 % of the average change in net revenues of all properties associated with the AR PENN Master Lease compared to a contractual baseline during the preceding five years (“PENN Percentage Rent”).
The next annual escalator test date and PENN Percentage Rent reset is scheduled to occur on November 1, 2023.
We concluded the AR PENN Master Lease constituted a modification event under ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”), which required us to reassess the classifications of the lease components and remeasure the associated lease liabilities. We concluded the lease term should end at the current lease expiration date of October 31, 2033 and the optional three renewal terms of five years each were not included in the lease term. The Company continues to evolve from a leading retail gaming operator to a leading provider of integrated entertainment, sports content, and casino gaming experiences. The execution of our omni-channel strategy continues to diversify our earning streams and precluded us from concluding all renewal periods were reasonably assured to be exercised.
As a result of the January 1, 2023 lease modification event, we concluded (i) the land components contained within the AR PENN Master Lease, which were previously primarily classified as finance leases under the PENN Master Lease, to be classified as operating leases, and (ii) control of the building assets have transferred from the Company to the lessor (GLPI) allowing for sale recognition in accordance with ASC 842 which results in the building components to be classified as operating leases. Prior to the January 1, 2023 lease modification event, control of substantially all of the building components were concluded not to have passed from the Company to the lessor in accordance with ASC 842 which required recognition of a financing obligation in accordance with ASC Topic 470, “Debt” (“ASC 470”) and continued recognition of the underlying asset in Property and Equipment, net within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. In conjunction with the sale recognition on the building components, we (i) derecognized $ 1.6 billion of financing obligations within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, offset to “Gain on REIT transaction, net” within our unaudited Statements of Operations; and (ii) derecognized $ 1.1 billion of Property and Equipment, net associated with the building assets within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, offset to “Gain on REIT transaction, net” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of our measurement of the associated operating lease liabilities, we recognized a reduction of the ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $ 1.2 billion within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease components classified as an operating lease are recorded to “General and Administrative” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On January 14, 2022, the ninth amendment to the PENN Master Lease between the Company and GLPI became effective. The ninth amendment restated the definition of “Net Revenue” to clarify the inclusion of online-based revenues derived when a patron is physically present at a leased property, established a “floor” with respect to the Hollywood Casino at PENN National Race Course Net Revenue amount used in the calculation of the annual rent escalator and PENN Percentage Rent, and modified the rent calculations upon a lease termination event as defined in the amendment.
We concluded the ninth amendment constituted a modification event under ASC 842, which required us to reassess the classifications of the lease components and remeasure the associated lease liabilities. As a result of our reassessment of the lease classifications, (i) the land components of substantially all of the PENN Master Lease properties, which were previously classified as operating leases, were then primarily classified as finance leases, and (ii) the land and building components associated with the operations of Dayton and Mahoning Valley, which were previously classified as finance leases, were then classified as operating leases. As a result of our measurement of the associated lease liabilities, we recognized additional ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $ 455.4 million. The building components of substantially all of the PENN Master Lease properties continued to be classified as financing obligations.
2023 Master Lease
Concurrent with the execution of the AR PENN Master Lease, the Company and GLPI entered into a new triple net master lease (the “2023 Master Lease”), effective January 1, 2023, specific to the property associated with Aurora, Joliet, Columbus, Toledo, M Resort, Hollywood Casino at The Meadows (“Meadows”), and Hollywood Casino Perryville (“Perryville”) and a master development agreement (the “Master Development Agreement”). The 2023 Master Lease has an initial term through October 31, 2033 with three subsequent five-year renewal periods on the same terms and conditions, exercisable at the Company’s option. The 2023 Master Lease terminated the individual triple net leases associated with Meadows and Perryville. The 2023 Master Lease and AR PENN Master Lease are cross-defaulted, cross-collateralized, and coterminous, and subject to a parent guarantee.
The AR PENN Master Lease and the 2023 Master Lease are coterminous, as such consistent with the AR PENN Master Lease, we concluded the 2023 Master Lease term ends at the current lease expiration date of October 31, 2033 and does not
23
Table of Contents
include any of the remaining three renewal terms of five years each. (See above lease term discussion for AR PENN Master Lease.)
As a result of our lease classification assessment, we concluded all land and building components contained within the 2023 Master Lease to be operating leases. As a result of our measurement of the operating lease liabilities, we recognized ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $ 1.8 billion. Additionally, in connection with the termination of the prior Meadows Lease and Perryville Lease (both defined and discussed below), we (i) derecognized $ 171.9 million in ROU assets within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets; (ii) derecognized $ 165.5 million in lease liabilities within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets; and (iii) recognized a $ 6.5 million loss on the termination which is recorded in “Gain on REIT transaction, net” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Lease components classified as an operating lease are recorded to “General and Administrative” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The 2023 Master Lease includes a base rent (the “2023 Master Lease Base Rent”) equal to $ 232.2 million and the Master Development Agreement contains additional rent (together with the 2023 Master Lease Base Rent, the “2023 Master Lease Rent”) equal to (i) 7.75 % of any project funding received by PENN from GLPI for an anticipated relocation of PENN’s riverboat casino and related developments with respect to Aurora (the “Aurora Project”) and (ii) a percentage, based on the then-current GLPI stock price, of any project funding received by PENN from GLPI for certain anticipated development projects with respect to Joliet, Columbus and M Resort (the “Other Development Projects”). The Master Development Agreement provides that GLPI will fund up to $ 225.0 million for the Aurora Project and, upon PENN’s request, up to $ 350.0 million in the aggregate for the Other Development Projects, in accordance with certain terms and conditions set forth in the Master Development Agreement. These funding obligations of GLPI expire on January 1, 2026. The 2023 Master Lease Rent will be subject to a one-time increase of $ 1.4 million, effective November 1, 2027. The 2023 Master Lease Rent will be further subject to a fixed escalator of 1.5 % on November 1, 2023 and annually thereafter. The Master Development Agreement provides that PENN may elect not to proceed with a development project prior to GLPI’s commencement of any equity or debt offering or credit facility draw intended to fund such a project or after such time in certain instances, provided that GLPI will be reimbursed for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such discontinued project. The Aurora Project and the Other Development Projects are all subject to necessary regulatory and other government approvals.
Pinnacle Master Lease
In connection with the acquisition of Pinnacle, on October 15, 2018, the Company assumed a triple net master lease with GLPI (the “Pinnacle Master Lease”), originally effective April 28, 2016, pursuant to which the Company leases real estate assets associated with 12 of the gaming facilities used in its operations. Upon assumption of the Pinnacle Master Lease, as amended, there were 7.5 years remaining of the initial ten-year term, with five subsequent, five-year renewal periods, on the same terms and conditions, exercisable at the Company’s option. The Company has determined that the lease term is 32.5 years.
The payment structure under the Pinnacle Master Lease includes a fixed component, a portion of which is subject to an annual escalator of up to 2 %, depending on the Adjusted Revenue to Rent Ratio (as defined in the Pinnacle Master Lease) of 1.8 :1, and a component that is based on performance of the properties, which is prospectively adjusted every two years by an amount equal to 4 % of the average change in net revenues compared to a contractual baseline during the preceding two years (“Pinnacle Percentage Rent”).
As a result of the annual escalator, effective May 1, 2023 for the lease year ended April 30, 2023, the fixed component of rent increased by $ 4.7 million and an additional ROU asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 33.3 million were recognized associated with the finance lease components of the Pinnacle Master Lease. Both the next annual escalator and the next Pinnacle Percentage Rent reset are scheduled to occur on May 1, 2024.
On January 14, 2022, the fifth amendment to the Pinnacle Master Lease between the Company and GLPI became effective. The fifth amendment restates the definition of “Net Revenue” to clarify the inclusion of online-based revenues derived when a patron is physically present at a leased property and modifies the rent calculations upon a lease termination event as defined in the amendment.
We concluded the fifth amendment to the Pinnacle Master Lease constituted a modification event under ASC 842 (collectively with the ninth amendment to the PENN Master Lease, the “2022 Lease Modification”). As a result of the modification, the land components of substantially all of the Pinnacle Master Lease properties, which were previously classified as operating leases, are now primarily classified as finance leases. As a result of our measurement of the associated lease liabilities, we recognized additional ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $ 937.6 million. The building components of substantially all of the Pinnacle Master Lease properties continue to be classified as financing obligations. Lease components classified as a finance lease are recorded to “Depreciation and amortization” and “Interest expense, net” within our unaudited

Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognizes interest expense on the lease payments related to the financing obligation under the effective yield method.
Other Triple Net Leases with REIT Landlords
Morgantown Lease
On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into a triple net lease with a subsidiary of GLPI for the land underlying our development project in Morgantown, Pennsylvania (“Morgantown Lease”) in exchange for $ 30.0 million in rent credits which were utilized to pay rent under the Master Leases, Meadows Lease, and the Morgantown Lease during the year ended December 31, 2020.
All improvements made on the land, including the constructed building, will be owned by the Company while the lease is in effect, however, on the expiration or termination of the Morgantown Lease, ownership of all tenant improvements on the land will transfer to GLPI.
We concluded control of the land underlying the Morgantown facility was not passed from the Company to the lessor in accordance with ASC 842. As such we recognized a financing obligation in accordance with ASC 470 and continue to recognize the underlying asset in Property and Equipment, net within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes interest expense on the lease payments related to the financing obligation under the effective yield method.
Perryville Lease
In conjunction with the acquisition of the operations of Perryville on July 1, 2021, the Company entered into a triple net lease with GLPI for the real estate assets associated with the property (“Perryville Lease”) for initial annual rent of $ 7.8 million per year subject to escalation. As discussed above, as a result of entering into the 2023 Master Lease, the Perryville Lease was terminated effective January 1, 2023.
Prior to the lease termination, the land and building components were classified as finance leases. Lease components classified as a finance lease were recorded to “Depreciation and amortization” and “Interest expense, net” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Meadows Lease
In connection with the acquisition of Pinnacle, we assumed a triple net operating lease associated with the real estate assets at Meadows (“Meadows Lease”), originally effective September 9, 2016. Upon assumption of the Meadows Lease, there were eight years remaining of the initial ten-year term, with three subsequent, five-year renewal options followed by one four-year renewal option on the same terms and conditions, exercisable at the Company’s option.
As discussed above, as a result of entering into the 2023 Master Lease, the Meadows Lease was terminated effective January 1, 2023.
Prior to the termination of the Meadows Lease, the land and building components were classified as operating leases. Lease components classified as an operating lease were recorded to “General and Administrative” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Margaritaville Lease
On January 1, 2019, the Company entered into an individual triple net lease with VICI Properties Inc. (NYSE: VICI) (“VICI”) for the real estate assets used in the operations of Margaritaville Resort Casino (the “Margaritaville Lease”). The Margaritaville Lease has an initial term of 15 years, with four subsequent five-year renewal options on the same terms and conditions, exercisable at the Company’s option. The payment structure under the Margaritaville Lease includes a fixed component, a portion that is subject to an annual escalator of up to 2 % depending on a minimum coverage floor ratio of Net Revenue to Rent of 6.1 :1, and a component that is based on performance, which is prospectively adjusted every two years by an amount equal to 4 % of the average change in net revenues of the property compared to a contractual baseline during the preceding two years (“Margaritaville Percentage Rent”).
On February 1, 2023, the Margaritaville Lease annual escalator test resulted in an annual rent increase of $ 0.4 million and the recognition of an additional operating lease ROU asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 2.8 million. The next annual escalator test date is scheduled to occur on February 1, 2024. Additionally, on February 1, 2023, the Margaritaville Percentage
25
Table of Contents
Rent reset resulted in an annual rent increase of $ 2.3 million which will be in effect until the next Margaritaville Percentage Rent reset, scheduled to occur on February 1, 2025. Upon reset of the Margaritaville Percentage Rent, effective February 1, 2023, we recognized an additional operating lease ROU asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 9.8 million.
The land and building components contained within the Margaritaville Lease are classified as operating leases. Lease components classified as an operating lease are recorded to “General and Administrative” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Greektown Lease
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into an individual triple net lease with VICI for the real estate assets used in the operations of Hollywood Casino at Greektown (the “Greektown Lease”). The Greektown Lease has an initial term of 15 years, with four subsequent five-year renewal options on the same terms and conditions, exercisable at the Company’s option. The payment structure under the Greektown Lease includes a fixed component, a portion subject to an annual escalator of up to 2 % depending on an Adjusted Revenue to Rent Ratio (as defined in the Greektown Lease) of 1.85 :1, and a component that is based on performance, which is prospectively adjusted every two years by an amount equal to 4 % of the average change in net revenues of the property compared to a contractual baseline during the preceding two years (Greektown Percentage Rent”).
On June 1, 2023, the Greektown Percentage Rent reset resulted in an annual rent increase of $ 1.5 million, which will be in effect until the next Greektown Percentage Rent reset, scheduled to occur on June 1, 2025. Upon reset of the Greektown Percentage Rent, effective June 1, 2023, we recognized an additional operating lease ROU asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 7.0 million. We did not incur an annual escalator for the lease year ended June 1, 2023. On April 1, 2023, the lease was amended to provide for a Net Revenue to Rent coverage floor to be mutually agreed upon prior to the commencement of the sixth lease year (June 1, 2024).
The land and building components contained within the Greektown Lease are classified as operating leases. Lease components classified as an operating lease are recorded to “General and Administrative” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Tropicana Lease
Prior to the closing of the sale of PENN’s outstanding equity interest in Tropicana Las Vegas (“Tropicana”) on September 26, 2022, the Company leased the real estate assets used in the operations of Tropicana for nominal cash rent (the “Tropicana Lease”). The term of the Tropicana Lease was for two years (subject to three one-year extensions at GLPI’s option) or until the real estate assets and the operations of the Tropicana were sold. Upon execution of the Tropicana Lease, we recorded an operating lease ROU asset of $ 61.6 million, which was included in “Lease right-of-use assets” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The land and building components contained within the Tropicana Lease were classified as operating leases. Lease components classified as an operating lease were recorded to “General and Administrative” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Non-REIT Operating Leases
In addition to any operating lease components contained within the Master Leases, Meadows Lease, Margaritaville Lease, Greektown Lease and Tropicana Lease (referred to as “triple net operating leases”), the Company’s operating leases consists of (i) ground and levee leases to landlords which were not assumed by our REIT Landlords and remain an obligation of the Company, and (ii) buildings and equipment not associated with our REIT Landlords. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of sales over specified contractual amounts, rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation, and rental payments based on usage. The Company’s leases include options to extend the lease terms. The Company’s operating lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Note 10— Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates
As of June 30, 2023, investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates primarily consisted of the Company’s 50 % investment in Kansas Entertainment, the joint venture with NASCAR that owns Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway.
Kansas Entertainment Joint Venture
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our investment in Kansas Entertainment was $ 80.7 million and $ 81.5 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received distributions from Kansas Entertainment totaling $ 8.3 million and $ 16.8 million, respectively, as compared to $ 9.0 million and $ 17.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company deems these distributions to be returns on its investment based on the source of those cash flows from the normal business operations of Kansas Entertainment.
The Company has determined that Kansas Entertainment does not qualify as a VIE. Using the guidance for entities that are not VIEs, the Company determined that it did not have a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, primarily as it did not have the ability to direct the activities of the joint venture that most significantly impacted the joint venture’s economic performance without the input of NASCAR. Therefore, the Company did not consolidate the financial position of Kansas Entertainment as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, nor the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Note 11— Income Taxes
The Company calculates the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate to its year-to-date pretax book income or loss. The tax effects of discrete items, including but not limited to, excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income or loss before income taxes) including discrete items was 30.7 % and 25.5 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 68.3 % and 57.2 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. We excluded certain foreign losses from our worldwide effective tax rate calculation due to a year-to-date ordinary loss for which no benefit may be recognized. Our effective income tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings and changes to our valuation allowance. Certain of these and other factors, including our history and projections of pretax earnings, are considered in assessing our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets.
As of each reporting date, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of June 30, 2023, we intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A reduction in the valuation allowance could result in a significant decrease to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded. Although the exact timing and valuation reversal amount are estimated, the actual determination is contingent upon the earnings level we achieve in 2023 as well as our projected income levels in future periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s valuation allowance increased in the amount of $ 1.0 million and decreased in the amount of $ 2.1 million, respectively, due to a combination of income levels, accounting for Master Leases and the Barstool Acquisition that had the effect on certain state deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net deferred tax liability of $ 115.9 million with respect to the Barstool stock acquisition on February 17, 2023, as discussed in Note 6, “Acquisitions and Dispositions.” These temporary differences were primarily related to existing carryover tax basis, acquired federal and state net operating losses and other acquired intangible assets excluding goodwill. Barstool’s operations are now included in our consolidated federal, state and local tax returns, which has an impact on our effective tax rate in certain jurisdictions.
In August 2023, we entered into the Barstool SPA, as discussed in Note 6, “Acquisitions and Dispositions,” pursuant to which PENN sold 100 % of the outstanding shares of Barstool to David Portnoy in exchange for a nominal cash consideration ($ 1.00 dollar) and certain non-compete and other restrictive covenants. As such, the deferred tax liability associated with the Barstool tradename and other intangible assets will be written off to income tax expense, which will have a material impact on our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company has a current income tax payable of $ 4.4 million included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, compared to prepaid income taxes of $ 15.2 million as of December 31, 2022, which were included in “Prepaid expenses” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 12— Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal and administrative proceedings relating to personal injuries, employment matters, commercial transactions, development agreements and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company maintains what it believes to be adequate insurance coverage to mitigate the risk of loss pertaining to covered matters, legal and administrative proceedings can be costly, time-consuming and unpredictable. The Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 13— Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation

Each Exchangeable Share is exchangeable into one share of PENN Common Stock at the option of the holder, subject to certain adjustments. Upon the acquisition of theScore, certain employees of theScore elected to have their outstanding equity awards, which were assumed under theScore plan (as defined below), issued as Exchangeable Shares, once the shares vest or are exercised. In addition, the Company may redeem all outstanding Exchangeable Shares in exchange for shares of PENN common stock at any time following the fifth anniversary of the closing, or earlier under certain circumstances.
We issued no Exchangeable Shares during the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued 2,854 Exchangeable Shares. No Exchangeable Shares were issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

2022 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan
On June 7, 2022, the Company’s shareholders, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved the Company’s 2022 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan authorizes the Company to issue stock options (incentive and/or non-qualified), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock (shares and/or units), performance awards (shares and/or units), and cash awards to executive officers, non-employee directors, other employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Non-employee directors and consultants are eligible to receive all such awards, other than incentive stock options. Pursuant to the 2022 Plan, an initial 6,870,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance, plus any shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards under both the previous 2018 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (“2018 Plan”) and the Score Media and Gaming Inc. Second Amended and Restated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “theScore Plan”) as of June 7, 2022, and outstanding awards that are forfeited or settled for cash under each of the prior plans.
On June 6, 2023, the Company’s shareholders, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the 2022 Plan (as amended, the “2022 Amended Plan”), which increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan by 7,000,000 shares to 13,870,000 shares. For purposes of determining the number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Amended Plan, stock options, restricted stock and all other equity settled awards count against the 13,870,000 share limit as one share of common stock for each share granted. Any awards that are not settled in shares of common stock are not counted against the share limit. As of June 30, 2023, there are 10,974,710 shares available for future grants under the 2022 Amended Plan.
Performance Share Program
The Company’s performance share programs were adopted to provide our NEOs and certain other key executives with stock-based compensation tied directly to the Company’s performance, which further aligns their interests with our shareholders and provides compensation only if the designated performance goals are met for the applicable performance periods.
An aggregate of 461,747 and 244,955 restricted units with performance-based vesting conditions, at target, were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Restricted performance units granted prior to the adoption of the 2022 Plan were awarded under a performance share program (“the Performance Share Program II”). Subsequent restricted performance units are governed by the 2022 Plan. Restricted performance units consist of three one-year performance periods over a three-year service period. The awards have the potential to be earned at between 0 % and 150 % of the number of shares granted depending on achievement of the annual performance goals, and remain subject to vesting for the full three-year service period.
In addition to the above, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted employees of theScore 202,518 restricted units with performance-based vesting conditions that are dependent on the achievement of certain milestones. The awards have the potential to be earned at between 0 % and 100 % and consist of two , one-year performance periods, each containing an applicable milestone. The awards also contain a one-year vesting requirement and vesting is subject to: (a) the satisfaction of the milestones on or before the applicable expiration date and (b) continued service through the date on which the respective portion of the awards vests.

Cash-settled Phantom Stock Units
Our outstanding phantom stock units (“CPUs”), are settled in cash and entitle plan recipients to receive a cash payment based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock which is based on the closing stock price of the trading day preceding the vest date. Our CPUs vest over a period of one to four years . The CPUs are accounted for as liability awards and are re-measured at fair value each reporting period until they become vested with compensation expense being recognized over the requisite service period. The Company has a liability, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” within the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, associated with its cash-settled CPUs of $ 1.7 million and $ 2.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

For SARs held by employees of the Company, there was $ 2.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost as of June 30, 2023 that will be recognized over the awards remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.7 years. The Company recognized a reduction to compensation expense of $ 3.6 million and $ 3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a reduction to compensation expense of $ 6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Note 14— Earnings per Share
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 we recorded net income attributable to PENN. As such, we used diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding when calculating diluted income per share. Stock options, restricted stock, convertible preferred shares and convertible debt that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future are included in the computation of diluted income per share.

Note 15— Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate. The fair value of the Company’s trade accounts receivable and payables approximates the carrying amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying amount, due to the short maturity of the cash equivalents.
Equity Securities
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held $ 20.2 million and $ 17.1 million in equity securities of ordinary shares, respectively, which are reported as “Other assets” in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. These equity securities are the result of PENN Interactive entering into multi-year agreements with third-party online sports betting and/or iCasino operators for online sports betting and iCasino market access across our portfolio.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized unrealized holding gains of $ 6.3 million and $ 3.1 million related to these equity securities, respectively, compared to unrealized holding losses of $ 16.9 million and $ 55.6 million
34
Table of Contents
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which is included in “Other,” as reported in “Other income (expenses)” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair value of the equity securities was determined using Level 2 inputs, which use market approach valuation techniques. The primary inputs to those techniques include the quoted market price of the equity securities and foreign currency exchange rates.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
The Company acquired 12.0 % secured convertible notes on April 7, 2023 for $ 20.0 million, due on the third-year anniversary of the date of issuance, which are reported in “Other assets” in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The terms contain optional and mandatory conversion provisions pursuant to which we will receive common stock upon conversion. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the convertible notes approximates the transaction price, as such we did not record any unrealized gains or losses to “Other comprehensive income (loss)” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The fair value of the convertible notes was determined using a binomial lattice model and is categorized as a Level 3 measurement.
Held-to-Maturity Securities and Promissory Notes
We have a management contract with Retama Development Corporation (“RDC”), a local government corporation of the City of Selma, Texas, to manage the day-to-day operations of Retama Park Racetrack, located outside of San Antonio, Texas. In addition, we own 1.0 % of the equity of Retama Nominal Holder, LLC, which holds a nominal interest in the racing license used to operate Retama Park Racetrack, and a 75.5 % interest in Pinnacle Retama Partners, LLC (“PRP”), which owns the contingent gaming rights that may arise if gaming under the existing racing license becomes legal in Texas in the future.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, PRP held $ 7.9 million in promissory notes issued by RDC and $ 6.7 million in local government corporation bonds issued by RDC, at amortized cost. The promissory notes and the local government corporation bonds are collateralized by the assets of Retama Park Racetrack. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the promissory notes and the local government corporation bonds were included in “Other assets” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The contractual terms of these promissory notes include interest payments due at maturity; however, we have not recorded accrued interest on these promissory notes because uncertainty exists as to RDC’s ability to make interest payments. We have the positive intent and ability to hold the local government corporation bonds to maturity and until the amortized cost is recovered. The estimated fair values of such investments are principally based on appraised values of the land associated with Retama Park Racetrack, which are classified as Level 2 inputs.
Long-term Debt
The fair value of our Amended Term Loan A Facility, Amended Term Loan B Facility, 5.625 % Notes, 4.125 % Notes, and the Convertible Notes is estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and is classified as a Level 1 measurement.
Other long-term obligations as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included a financing arrangement entered in February of 2021, the relocation fees for Dayton and Mahoning Valley, and the repayment obligation of the hotel and event center located near Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg. See Note 8, “Long-term Debt” for details. The fair values of the Dayton and Mahoning Valley relocation fees and the Lawrenceburg repayment obligation are estimated based on rates consistent with the Company’s credit rating for comparable terms and debt instruments and are classified as Level 2 measurements.
Additionally, in February 2021, we entered into a third-party financing arrangement providing the Company with upfront cash proceeds while permitting us to participate in future proceeds on certain claims. The financing obligation has been classified as a non-current liability and the fair value of the financing obligation is based on what we expect to be settled in a future period of which the principal is contingent and predicated on other events, plus accreted period non-cash interest using an effective interest rate of 27.0 % until the claims and related obligation is settled. The financing obligation has been classified as a Level 3 measurement and is included within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Long-term debt, net of current maturities, debt discount and debt issuance costs.” See Note 8, “Long-term Debt.”

Other Liabilities
Other liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 includes contingent purchase price liabilities related to Plainridge Park Casino and Hitpoint, of which Hitpoint was acquired on May 11, 2021. The Hitpoint contingent purchase price liability is payable in installments up to a maximum of $ 1.0 million in the form of cash and equity, on the first three anniversaries of the acquisition close date and is based on the achievement of mutual goals established by the Company and Hitpoint. As of June 30, 2023, there is one annual achievement period remaining. The Plainridge Park Casino contingent purchase price liability is calculated based on earnings of the gaming operations over the first ten years of operations, which commenced on June 24, 2015. As of June 30, 2023, we were contractually obligated to make three additional annual payments. The fair value of the Plainridge Park Casino contingent purchase price liability is estimated based on an income approach using a discounted cash flow model. These contingent purchase price liabilities have been classified as a Level 3 measurement and are included within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” or “Other long-term liabilities,” depending on the timing of the next payment.

Note 17— Subsequent Events
On August 8, 2023, PENN entered into the Sportsbook Agreement with ESPN which provides for a long-term strategic relationship between PENN and ESPN relating to online sports betting in the United States.
39
Table of Contents
Pursuant to the Sportsbook Agreement, PENN will rebrand its existing Barstool Sportsbook across all online platforms in the United States as ESPN Bet (the “Sportsbook”) and will oversee daily operations of the Sportsbook. The Sportsbook Agreement provides PENN with an exclusive license to use the ESPN Bet trademark in the United States in connection with the Sportsbook. In addition, ESPN will provide certain marketing, content integration and promotional services in support of the Sportsbook, including access to ESPN talent, and will exclusively promote the Sportsbook in the United States, subject to certain exceptions, in accordance with a mutually agreed on-channel marketing plan. The Sportsbook will be deeply integrated within the broader ESPN editorial, content, digital product and sports programming ecosystem, with access to ESPN’s industry leading audience and database.
The Sportsbook Agreement has an initial 10-year term and may be extended for an additional ten years upon mutual agreement of PENN and ESPN. In consideration for the media marketing services and brand and other rights provided by ESPN, PENN will pay $ 150.0 million per year in cash pursuant to the Sportsbook Agreement for the initial 10-year term and issue the warrants pursuant to the Investment Agreement (as defined and described in more detail below). In addition, the Sportsbook Agreement may be terminated by either party (i) in the case of an uncured material breach by or bankruptcy of the other party, (ii) if at the end of year 3 of the term the Sportsbook has not achieved a specified level of market share based on gross gaming revenue in the states in which the Sportsbook operates while branded ESPN Bet, (iii) in certain circumstances, if the other party or certain of its officers is the subject of a criminal or other investigation by federal or state authorities, is charged with certain crimes or commits certain other acts, including those which would reasonably be expected to cause material damage to the terminating party’s reputation or brand, or (iv) in certain circumstances involving non-compliance with data privacy laws. In addition, ESPN has the right to terminate the Sportsbook Agreement (i) a repeated material breach by PENN of the terms of the ESPN intellectual property license or an uncured material breach by PENN of the terms of the ESPN intellectual property license that results in material harm to the reputation or goodwill associated with the ESPN brand or name, (ii) in certain circumstances where PENN commits a material failure of specified product and technology guidelines or certain customer service level metrics, (iii) if at the end of year 3 or year 7 of the term the Sportsbook’s market access is not at least a specified percentage of the total market access by the online sportsbook operator with the most expansive market access, subject to certain exceptions, (iv) if ESPN undergoes certain transactions involving a significant change in ownership of ESPN, subject to the payment of a termination fee to PENN or (v) in certain circumstances if PENN undergoes certain transactions involving a significant change in ownership of PENN, including such a transaction involving a competitor of The Walt Disney Company (“TWDC”). PENN has the right to terminate the Sportsbook Agreement (i) if ESPN undergoes certain transactions resulting in a significant change in ownership of ESPN involving a competitor of PENN, (ii) in certain circumstances related to the suitability of ESPN, TWDC or certain of their respective officers for gaming regulatory purposes or (iii) in certain circumstances if PENN is unable to utilize the ESPN Bet brand in states comprising a specified percentage of the aggregate population for all states in which PENN conducts online sports betting in the United States.
In connection with the Sportsbook Agreement, PENN and ESPN, Inc. entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) on August 8, 2023. The Investment Agreement provides for the issuance to ESPN, Inc. of certain warrants to purchase shares of PENN common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, and setting forth certain other governance rights of ESPN, Inc. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement PENN issued to ESPN warrants to purchase approximately 31.8 million shares of PENN common stock. The warrants are expected to be classified as equity and contain three separate tranches which vest quarterly over ten years from the date of the Investment Agreement, provided that any remaining unvested portion of the first tranche of warrants will vest on August 8, 2032. If the Sportsbook Agreement is terminated due to certain breaches of the Sportsbook Agreement by PENN, then all unvested warrants will immediately vest. If the Sportsbook Agreement is terminated for any other reason, then all unvested warrants will immediately be forfeited, subject to certain exceptions. At the grant date, the fair value of the awards was determined using the Black Scholes pricing model with contractual terms ranging from 9.5 to 11.5 years, and strike prices ranging from $ 26.08 to $ 32.60 . Additionally, if after February 29, 2024 and during the term of the Sportsbook Agreement, PENN achieves specified performance conditions based on an average market share based on gross gaming revenue in the states in which the Sportsbook operates (as defined within the Investment Agreement), PENN could issue to ESPN warrants to purchase up to an additional 6.4 million shares of PENN common stock. The additional warrants will be fully vested upon issuance, have an exercise price of $ 28.95 and will be exercisable for 10.5 years from the date of issuance. Further details on the Investment Agreement are contained in PENN’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 8, 2023.
In connection with the Sportsbook Agreement, PENN entered into the Barstool SPA on August 8, 2023. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN sold 100 % of the outstanding shares of Barstool to David Portnoy in exchange for a nominal cash consideration ($ 1.00 dollar) and certain non-compete and other restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN has the right to receive 50 % of the gross proceeds received by David Portnoy in any subsequent sale or other monetization event of Barstool. See Note 6, “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for further information.
