Note 11—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.
ESPN Sportsbook and Investment Agreements
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.
The Sportsbook Agreement has an initial 10-year term and may be extended for an additionalten 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 warrants pursuant to the Investment Agreement (as defined and described in more detail below). The Sportsbook Agreement may be terminated by either party if at the end of year three 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, and other terms pursuant to the agreement.
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, Inc. warrants to purchase approximately 31.8 million shares of PENN common stock. The warrants are classified as equity and contain three separate tranches which vest quarterly overten 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.
At the grant date, the $550.4 million 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. During thethree and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized$18.8 million and$37.5 million, respectively, related to the Investment Agreement warrants. Expenses related to these warrants are recorded within “Gaming” expenses on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and recognized when services are received.
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, Inc. 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.
Note 12—Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
Common and Preferred Stock
On May 11, 2021, the Company acquired HitPoint Inc. and Lucky Point Inc. (collectively, “Hitpoint”).

In conjunction with the February 20, 2020 stock purchase agreement between PENN and Barstool, the Company issued 883 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) to certain individual stockholders affiliated with Barstool. 1/1,000th of a share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of PENN common stock. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, on August 11, 2023, all remaining outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted to common stock. See Note 5, “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for additional information related to the Barstool SPA.

Each Exchangeable Share is exchangeable intoone 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 didnot issue Exchangeable Shares during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we issued 68,048 and 2,854 Exchangeable Shares, respectively.

Share Repurchase Authorization
On December 6, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization for $750.0 million (the “December 2022 Authorization”). The December 2022 Authorization expires on December 31, 2025.
The Company utilized the capacity under the previous February 2022 authorization prior to effecting any repurchases under the December 2022 Authorization. Repurchases by the Company are subject to available liquidity, general market and economic conditions, alternate uses for the capital and other factors. Share repurchases may be made from time to time through a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, open market transactions, block trades or in private transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations and other legal requirements. There is no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase and the repurchase authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
No shares of the Company’s common stock were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 respectively, the Company repurchased 3,791,258 and 5,438,221 shares of its common stock in open market transactions for $99.8 million and $149.8 million, at an average price of $26.31 and $27.54 per share under the February 2022 and December 2022 Authorizations.
The cost of all repurchased shares is recorded as “Treasury stock” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
No shares of the Company’s common stock were repurchased subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. As of August 7, 2024, the remaining availability under our December 2022 Authorization was $749.5 million.
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 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 asone 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, 2024, there are 6,328,318 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.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 1,317,269 restricted units with performance-based vesting conditions, at target, under the 2022 Amended Plan. The restricted performance units granted in 2024 consist ofone three-year performance period over athree-year service period. The awards have the potential to be earned at between 0% and 200% of the number of shares granted depending on achievement of the performance goals, and remain subject to vesting for the full three-year service period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 461,747 restricted units with performance-based vesting conditions, at target, under the 2022 Plan. The restricted performance units granted in 2023 consist ofthree one-year performance periods over athree-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 performance goals, and remain subject to vesting for the full three-year service period.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense pertains to our stock options and restricted stock, including restricted stock with performance conditions. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $14.2 million and $19.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $26.1 million and $36.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in “General and administrative” expense within the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Stock Options
The Company granted 19,413 and 2,362 stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 815,326 and 840,235 stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 ofone tofour 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’s CPU liability as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and is included within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” within the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.9 million of compensation expense associated with these awards for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.3 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Compensation expense associated with our CPUs is recorded in “General and administrative” within the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2024, there was a total of $1.1 million unrecognized compensation expense related to CPUs that will be recognized over the awards remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.6 years. Additionally, we paid $1.1 million and $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, pertaining to cash-settled CPUs.
Stock Appreciation Rights
Our outstanding SARs are settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards, and generally vest over a period offour years. The fair value of cash-settled SARs is calculated each reporting period and estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 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 SARs of $0.9 million and $5.8 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
For SARs held by employees of the Company, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost as of June 30, 2024 that will be recognized over the awards remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.6 years. The Company recognized a charge to compensation expense of $0.1 million and a reduction to compensation expense of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and a reduction to compensation expense of $4.5 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Compensation expense associated with our SARs is recorded in “General and administrative” within the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. We paid $0.1 million and $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to cash-settled SARs.
Note 13—Earnings per Share
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a net loss attributable to PENN. As such, because the dilution from potential common shares was anti-dilutive, we used basic weighted-average common shares outstanding, rather than diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding when calculating diluted loss per share. Stock options, restricted stock, and convertible debt that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, were as follows:
| For the three months ended June 30, | For the six months ended June 30, | |
|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | |
| Assumed conversion of dilutive stock options | — | 0.1 |
| Assumed conversion of dilutive restricted stock | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Assumed conversion of convertible debt | 14.1 | 14.1 |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 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.
The following table sets forth the allocation of net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 under the two-class method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not utilize the two-class method due to all preferred shares being converted as part of the Barstool SPA during the third quarter of 2023 as discussed in Note 12, “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation.”
| For the three months ended June 30, | For the six months ended June 30, | |
|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2023 | |
| Net income attributable to PENN Entertainment, Inc. | $78.4 | $592.9 |
| Net income applicable to preferred stock | 0.2 | 1.7 |
| Net income applicable to common stock | $78.2 | $591.2 |
The following table reconciles the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic EPS to the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
| For the three months ended June 30, | For the six months ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding—basic | 152.1 | 152.8 | 152.0 | 153.0 |
| Assumed conversion of: | ||||
| Dilutive stock options | — | 0.7 | — | 0.8 |
| Dilutive restricted stock | — | 0.3 | — | 0.3 |
| Convertible debt | — | 14.1 | — | 14.1 |
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted | 152.1 | 167.9 | 152.0 | 168.2 |
Restricted stock with performance and market based vesting conditions that have not been met as of June 30, 2024 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.
Anti-dilutive equity-based awards are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Anti-dilutive options and warrants to purchase 36.0 million shares were outstanding during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to anti-dilutive options to purchase 1.8 million and 1.7 million shares outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Additionally, the assumed conversion of 0.4 million preferred shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for both three and six months ended June 30, 2023, because including them would have been anti-dilutive.
The Company’s calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding includes the Exchangeable Shares discussed within Note 12, “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation.” The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the Company’s common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
| For the three months ended June 30, | For the six months ended June 30, | |||

Note 14—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 payable 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we held $5.3 million and $10.7 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.
We recognized unrealized holding losses of $3.9 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and unrealized holding gains of $6.3 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which are 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 1 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 in a technology provider on April 7, 2023 for $20.0 million, due on the third-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The terms contain optional and mandatory conversion provisions pursuant to which we will receive common stock upon conversion. As of both periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the convertible notes was $24.2 million, which are reported in “Other assets” in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the convertible notes approximates the carrying value as of December 31, 2023. Therefore, 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 both periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 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. During the first quarter of 2024, we reassessed the trading frequency of our previously described long-term debt instruments and reclassified them from a Level 1 measurement to a Level 2 measurement.
Other long-term obligations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included a financing arrangement entered in February of 2021 as well as the repayment obligation of the hotel and event center located near Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg. The fair value of the Lawrenceburg repayment obligation is estimated based on rates consistent with the Company’s credit rating for comparable terms and debt instruments and is classified as a Level 2 measurement. As of December 31, 2023, other long-term obligations also included the relocation fees for Dayton and Mahoning Valley, which were paid off during the second quarter of 2024. The fair values of the Dayton and Mahoning Valley relocation fees were estimated based on rates consistent with the Company’s credit rating for comparable terms and debt instruments and were classified as Level 2 measurements. See Note 7, “Long-term Debt” for details.
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 7, “Long-term Debt.”
Other Liabilities
Other liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include contingent purchase price liabilities related to Plainridge Park Casino and HitPoint. 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. The final payment of shares and cash were issued during the second and third quarters of 2024, respectively. See Note 12, “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation.” As of June 30, 2024, there areno annual achievement periods remaining. The Plainridge Park Casino contingent purchase price liability is calculated based on earnings of the gaming operations over the firstten years of operations, which commenced on June 24, 2015. As of June 30, 2024, we were contractually obligated to maketwo 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.
Additionally, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Other liabilities include a $39.5 million and $70.0 million tax indemnification, respectively, as described in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation.” Liabilities associated with the indemnification of $39.5 million are recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The indemnity has been classified as a Level 3 measurement. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the indemnification include the expected tax rate and the probability of potential outcomes based on valuation methods that utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to the overall fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment.

Note 15—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 ourtwo properties in Jackpot, Nevada, which are viewed asone operating segment. We consider our combined VGT operations, by state, to be separate operating segments. Interactive includes all of our online gaming operations, management of retail sports betting, media, and in the prior year, the operating results of Barstool. We owned 36% of Barstool common stock prior to the February 17, 2023 Barstool Acquisition, pursuant to which we acquired the remaining 64% of Barstool common stock. On August 8, 2023, we entered into the Barstool SPA, and we sold 100% of the outstanding shares of Barstool common stock. See Note 5, “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for further information.
The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDAR (as defined below) as its measure of segment profit or loss. The following table highlights our revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR for each reportable segment and reconciles Adjusted EBITDAR on a consolidated basis to net income (loss).
