REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2018
Dover Motorsports, Inc. (NYSE: DVD) today reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
The Company promoted a NASCAR triple-header and hosted the Firefly Music Festival in Dover during the second quarter of 2018 and 2017. The Company leases a portion of its facility to the promoter of Firefly, provides logistical assistance and handles certain concessions for which the Company retains a percentage of the gross sales.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2018 increased to $25,812,000 from $25,587,000 for the second quarter of 2017. The increase is primarily from the scheduled increase in broadcasting revenue and higher commissions from Firefly, partially offset by lower admissions revenue for the NASCAR weekend.
Operating and marketing expenses increased to $14,234,000 in the second quarter of 2018 from $14,100,000 in the second quarter of 2017. The increase was due to the scheduled increase in purse and sanction fees for the NASCAR weekend offset by lower other race related expenses.
General and administrative expenses of $1,799,000 in the second quarter of 2018 remained consistent compared to $1,796,000 in the second quarter of 2017.
Net interest expense decreased to $33,000 in the second quarter of 2018 from $68,000 in the second quarter of 2017 due to lower outstanding borrowings.
Provision for contingent obligation was $69,000 during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $11,000 during the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to changes in discount rates.
Earnings before income taxes for the second quarter of 2018 were $8,879,000 compared with $8,808,000 for the second quarter of 2017.
Income tax expense during the second quarter of 2018 decreased to $2,371,000 from $3,605,000 in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease is primarily due to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 which lowered federal income tax rates beginning in 2018.
Net earnings for the second quarter of 2018 were $6,508,000 or $0.18 per diluted share compared to $5,203,000 or $0.14 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017.
As previously reported, we closed on the sale of a parcel of land in Nashville during the first quarter of 2018 for net proceeds of approximately $5 million after closing costs, resulting in a gain of $2,512,000. 225 acres of our Nashville Speedway property are under option for a total purchase price of approximately $12.4 million. The Company continues to hold over 1,000 acres of prime commercial real estate.
During the second quarter this year, the Company repurchased 54,565 shares of its common stock on the open market at an average price of $2.10 per share, not including nominal brokerage commissions.
The Company’s financial position continues to improve. At June 30, 2018, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness and more than $5 million in available cash. During the first six months of 2018 the Company has contributed another $1,000,000 to its defined benefit pension plan.

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 gain on sale of land and costs to remove 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.
