REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2016

Dover Motorsports, Inc. (NYSE: DVD) today reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company promoted a NASCAR triple-header and hosted the Firefly Music Festival in Dover during the second quarter of 2016 and 2015. The Company also hosted the inaugural Big Barrel Country Music Festival during the second quarter of 2015, but this event will not be held during 2016. The Company leases a portion of its Dover facility to the promoter of Firefly (and Big Barrel in 2015), provides logistical assistance and handles certain concessions for which the Company retains a percentage of the gross sales.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were down slightly at $25,253,000 compared with $25,380,000 for the second quarter of 2015, primarily from the cancelation of Big Barrel in 2016 and lower admissions related revenue for the Dover NASCAR weekend, partially offset by higher broadcasting and sponsorship revenue.

Operating and marketing expenses were $13,847,000 in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $13,629,000 in the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to the scheduled increase in purse and sanction fees for the Dover NASCAR weekend.

General and administrative expenses were consistent at $1,820,000 in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $1,811,000 in the second quarter of 2015.

Depreciation expense decreased to $867,000 in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $1,422,000 in the second quarter of 2015. A change in the estimated useful lives of certain grandstand seats and structures we decided to remove from service following the 2015 fall race weekend resulted in an additional depreciation expense of $655,000 in our second quarter 2015. The decrease in 2016 was partially offset by our first quarter decision to begin renovations to certain facilities this year. Accordingly, we changed the estimated useful lives of these facilities resulting in $68,000 of increased depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2016.

Income from assets held for sale of $606,000 in the second quarter of 2015 represents payments we received in 2015 to extend the closing date of the now expired agreement to sell our Nashville facility.

Net interest expense decreased to $66,000 in the second quarter of 2016 from $86,000 in the second quarter of 2015 as a result of lower outstanding borrowings.


(Provision) benefit for contingent obligation was ($70,000) during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $125,000 during the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to changes in discount rates.

Earnings before income taxes for the second quarter of 2016 were $8,575,000 compared with $9,163,000 for the second quarter of 2015. The results for the second quarter of 2016 include the $68,000 of accelerated depreciation expense and the results for the second quarter of 2015 include the $655,000 of accelerated depreciation and $606,000 of income from assets held for sale. On an adjusted basis, excluding these items, earnings before income taxes for the second quarter of 2016 were $8,643,000 compared to $9,212,000 for the second quarter of 2015.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2016 were $5,066,000 or $0.14 per diluted share compared to $5,494,000 or $0.15 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015. Net earnings, adjusted for the aforementioned items, were $5,106,000 or $0.14 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $5,489,000 or $0.15 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015.

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s total indebtedness was $1,500,000 compared with $2,800,000 at June 30, 2015. During the second quarter this year, the Company repurchased 36,826 shares of its common stock on the open market at an average price of $2.22 per share.

The assets of Nashville Superspeedway are reported as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(1)  During the first quarter of 2016, we began a renovation project of certain track related assets at our Dover International Speedway facility which will take approximately one year to complete. As a result, we shortened the service lives of these assets which resulted in accelerated depreciation being recorded in the first and second quarters of 2016.

During the first quarter of 2015, we made the decision to remove certain grandstand seating at our Dover International Speedway facility at the end of the 2015 race season. As a result, we shortened the service lives of these assets which resulted in accelerated depreciation being recorded in the first and second quarters of 2015.

 

(2)  On May 29, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell our Nashville Superspeedway facility. The potential buyer made several payments to us to extend the closing date of settlement. A portion of these payments were recognized by us as income from assets held for sale during the first and second quarters of 2015.
(3) Loss on disposal of long-lived assets is attributable to the decision to remove and dispose of certain grandstand seating at our Dover International Speedway facility.
(4)  The components of earnings per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 do not add to the adjusted earnings per basic and diluted 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 before income taxes, adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per common share—basic and diluted are derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for the aforementioned accelerated depreciation, income from assets held for sale and loss on disposal of long-lived assets. Income taxes are based on our approximate statutory tax rates applicable to each of these items. 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 before income taxes, net earnings or net earnings per common share—basic and diluted, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.
