DOVER, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Dover Motorsports, Inc. (NYSE: DVD) today reported its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.
We held no major events during the fourth quarter this year. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we held our fall NASCAR weekend, which consisted of a K&N Pro Series East event, an Xfinity Series event and a NASCAR Cup Series event. Accordingly, the results for the fourth quarter of 2020 are not comparable to last year.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $185,000 compared to $20,794,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. Operating and marketing expenses were $996,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $12,255,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. Both decreases were primarily from the aforementioned schedule difference.
General and administrative expenses increased to $1,934,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $1,894,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily from the reopening of Nashville Superspeedway.
Depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 2020 decreased to $757,000 from $1,097,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease is due to $293,000 of accelerated depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 2019 related to the removal of grandstand seats at our Dover facility.
We incurred $1,170,000 in costs related to the removal of the grandstands during the fourth quarter of 2019.
The adjustment to the contingent obligation was a benefit of $59,000 during the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to an expense of $638,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. The current year benefit was primarily the result of an increase in the discount rate.
Loss before income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2020 was ($3,377,000) compared to earnings before income taxes of $3,809,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was a benefit of 44.4% in the fourth quarter of 2020 and was impacted by the reversal of a portion of a previously booked valuation allowance on Tennessee state deferred tax assets, which we now expect to realize after entering into an agreement during the fourth quarter to sell approximately 350 acres of property near our Nashville Superspeedway facility.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 was ($1,879,000) or ($.05) per diluted share compared to net earnings of $2,903,000 or $.08 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2019. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2019, adjusted for the accelerated depreciation and grandstand removal costs, were $3,958,000.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness and approximately $13 million in available cash.

During 2020, we closed on the sale of a parcel of land at our Nashville Superspeedway facility resulting in a gain of $4,843,000. |
|
|
|
During 2019, we closed on the sale of parcels of land at our Nashville Superspeedway facility resulting in gains of $4,186,00 and $139,000. |
|
|
|
These transactions were tax effected using our federal statutory rate as we had available state net operating losses. |
|
|
(2) |
Related to the decision to remove grandstand seats at Dover International Speedway, we incurred $341,000 and $1,170,000 of costs to remove these assets in 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts were tax effected using our federal and state statutory rates. |
|
|
(3) |
During the third quarter of 2019, we made the decision to remove certain grandstand seating at our Dover International Speedway facility at the end of the 2019 race season. As a result, we shortened the service lives of these assets which resulted in $879,000 and $293,000 of accelerated depreciation being recorded in the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively. These amounts were tax effected using our federal and state statutory rates. |
|
|
(4) |
The components of the GAAP net earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2019 do not add to the adjusted net earnings per common share due to rounding. |
|
|
|
The above financial information is presented using other than generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP"), and is reconciled to comparable information presented using GAAP. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings (loss) before income taxes, adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per common share - basic and diluted are derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for the aforementioned gains on sale of land, costs to remove long-lived assets and accelerated depreciation. We believe such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful to investors, and is used by investors and us to assess core operations. This non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings (loss) before income taxes, net earnings (loss) or net earnings (loss) per common share - basic and diluted, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. |
