Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates | Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates As of June 30, 2021, investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates primarily consisted of the Company’s 36% interest in Barstool Sports; its 50% investment in Kansas Entertainment, the JV with NASCAR that owns Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway; its 50% interest in Freehold Raceway; and its 50% JV with MAXXAM, Inc. (“MAXXAM”) that owns and operates racetracks in Texas. Investment in Barstool Sports In February 2020, we closed on our investment in Barstool Sports pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with Barstool Sports and certain stockholders of Barstool Sports, in which we purchased 36% (inclusive of 1% on a delayed basis) of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Barstool Sports for a purchase price of $161.2 million. The purchase price consisted of $135.0 million in cash and $23.1 million in shares of a new class of non-voting convertible preferred stock of the Company (as discussed below). Within the three years after the closing of the transaction or earlier at our election, we will increase our ownership in Barstool Sports to approximately 50% by purchasing approximately $62.0 million worth of additional shares of Barstool Sports common stock, consistent with the implied valuation at the time of the initial investment, which was $450.0 million. With respect to the remaining Barstool Sports shares, we have immediately exercisable call rights, and the existing Barstool Sports stockholders have put rights exercisable beginning three years after closing, all based on a fair market value calculation at the time of exercise (subject to a cap of $650.0 million and, subject to such cap, a floor of 2.25 times the annualized revenue of Barstool Sports, all subject to various adjustments). On February 20, 2020, the Company issued 883 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the "Series D Preferred Stock") to certain individual stockholders affiliated with Barstool Sports. 1/1,000th of a share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Penn Common Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to participate equally and ratably in all dividends and distributions paid to holders of Penn Common Stock based on the number of shares of Penn Common Stock into which such Series D Preferred Stock could convert. Series D Preferred Stock is nonvoting stock. The Series D Preferred Stock issued to certain individual stockholders affiliated with Barstool Sports will be available for conversion into Penn Common Stock in tranches over four years as stipulated in the stock purchase agreement, with the first 20% tranche having been available for conversion into Penn Common Stock in the first quarter of 2021. As of June 30, 2021, 26 shares of the Series D Preferred Stock can be converted into Penn Common Stock. During the first quarter, the Company acquired 0.3% of Barstool Sports common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, as contemplated within the February 2020 stock purchase agreement which represents a partial settlement of the 1% purchase on a delayed basis as noted above. The acquisition of the acquired Barstool Sports common stock was settled through a predetermined number of Series D Preferred Stock as contained within the stock purchase agreement (see Note 13, "Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation," for further information). As a part of the stock purchase agreement, we entered into a commercial agreement that provides us with access to Barstool Sports’ customer list and exclusive advertising on the Barstool Sports platform over the term of the agreement. The initial term of the commercial agreement is ten years and, unless earlier terminated and subject to certain exceptions, will automatically renew for three additional ten-year terms (a total of 40 years assuming all renewals are exercised). As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have an amortizing intangible asset pertaining to the customer list of $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have a prepaid expense pertaining to the advertising in the amount of $16.0 million, and $16.5 million respectively, of which $14.9 million and $15.4 million was classified as long-term, respectively. The long-term portion of the prepaid advertising expense is included in “Other assets” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our investment in Barstool Sports was $155.7 million and $147.5 million, respectively. We record our proportionate share of Barstool Sports’ net income or loss one quarter in arrears. The Company determined that Barstool Sports qualified as a VIE as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company did not consolidate the financial position of Barstool Sports as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, nor the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, as the Company determined that it did not qualify as the primary beneficiary of Barstool Sports either at the commencement date of its investment or for subsequent periods, primarily as a result of the Company not having the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect Barstool Sports’ economic performance. Kansas Joint Venture As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our investment in Kansas Entertainment was $86.3 million and $85.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received distributions from Kansas Entertainment totaling $7.9 million and $13.4 million, respectively, as compared to no distributions for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company deems these distributions to be returns on its investment based on the source of those cash flows from the normal business operations of Kansas Entertainment. The Company has determined that Kansas Entertainment does not qualify as a VIE. Using the guidance for entities that are not VIEs, the Company determined that it did not have a controlling financial interest in the JV, primarily as it did not have the ability to direct the activities of the JV that most significantly impacted the JV’s economic performance without the input of NASCAR. Therefore, the Company did not consolidate the financial position of Kansas Entertainment as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, nor the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Texas Joint Venture The Company has a 50% interest in a JV with MAXXAM, which owns and operates the Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas and the Valley Race Park in Harlingen, Texas, and holds a license for a racetrack in Austin, Texas. On March 15, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to purchase the remaining 50% ownership interest in the Sam Houston Race Park and the Valley Race Park located in Texas as well as a license to operate a racetrack in Austin, Texas. See Note 6, "Acquisitions and Dispositions" for further information. During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment on our investment in the JV of $4.6 million, which is included in “Impairment losses” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). No further impairment loss was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020. No impairment was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
