DOVER, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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.
