Dover Motorsports, Inc. (NYSE: DVD) today reported results for
the three months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company held a NASCAR triple-header weekend at Dover
International Speedway in May and a NASCAR triple-header weekend,
which included the return of NASCAR Cup Series racing to the
Nashville market, at Nashville Superspeedway in June.
No events were held during the second quarter of 2020 as the
COVID-19 pandemic caused the postponement of the Company’s
scheduled May NASCAR weekend and the cancelation of the Firefly
Music Festival. The three NASCAR events originally scheduled to be
held in May 2020 were held without fans in combination with the
August 2020 NASCAR weekend events. Accordingly, the results for the
second quarter are not comparable to last year.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $49,896,000
from $110,000 for the second quarter of 2020, reflecting the timing
of events described above.
The quarter was highlighted by our reopening of Nashville
Superspeedway with a Father’s Day sellout crowd, which required
temporary grandstands to accommodate. It was the first full
grandstand sellout for NASCAR this year. Broadcast ratings for the
ALLY 400 were 22% higher for NBCSN’s telecast compared with the
previous year’s same date event and it was the second highest rated
sports event on cable that week behind the NBA playoffs. Denis
McGlynn, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated: “There was an overwhelmingly positive response to the
Nashville events from fans, race teams, sponsors and media
representatives and we are looking forward to hosting another
NASCAR weekend in Nashville next year.”
Dover International Speedway’s admissions and per cap related
revenues were impacted by state-mandated restrictions that limited
attendance to 20,000 patrons. The event was an operational success
and had strong corporate sponsorship and contracted increases in
broadcast revenue.
Operating and marketing expenses were $29,405,000 in the second
quarter of 2021 compared to $812,000 in the second quarter of
2020.
General and administrative expenses were $2,203,000 in the
second quarter of 2021 compared to $1,877,000 in the second quarter
of 2020.
Depreciation expense increased to $809,000 for the second
quarter of 2021 compared to $765,000 for the second quarter of
2020, primarily from depreciation for the capital expenditures
related to the reopening of Nashville Superspeedway.
On May 26, 2021, we closed on the sale of approximately 350
acres of property near Nashville Superspeedway. Proceeds from the
sale, less closing costs, were approximately $14,300,000, resulting
in a gain of $8,510,000. The purchaser had previously paid a
$500,000 deposit that was credited to the purchase price.
The adjustment to the contingent obligation relating to the
Tennessee revenue bonds was a benefit of $500,000 in the second
quarter of 2021, primarily from higher than anticipated sales taxes
collected available for debt service. The benefit of $353,000 in
the second quarter of 2020 was primarily from changed sales tax
assumptions associated with the planned reopening of Nashville
Superspeedway.
Earnings before income taxes for the second quarter of 2021 were
$26,627,000 compared to a loss before income taxes for the second
quarter of 2020 of ($2,844,000).
The Company’s effective income tax rate was an expense of 25.8%
compared to a benefit of 75.8% in the second quarter of 2020. The
2020 benefit was the result of reversing a portion of a previously
recorded valuation allowance on Tennessee state deferred tax assets
as a result of the reopening of the Nashville Superspeedway.
Net earnings for the second quarter of 2021 were $19,745,000, or
$0.54 per diluted share, compared to a net loss for the second
quarter of 2020 of ($689,000) or ($0.02) per diluted share.
At June 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness
and approximately $18.6 million in available cash.
The Firefly Music Festival is scheduled to return to the
Woodlands at Dover International Speedway from September 23-26,
2021.
