Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Dispositions | Acquisitions and Dispositions Barstool Acquisition and Disposition On February 17, 2023, we acquired the remaining 64% of the outstanding shares of Barstool common stock not already owned by us for consideration of approximately $405.5 million, which is inclusive of cash and common stock issuance, repayment of Barstool indebtedness of $23.8 million, transaction expenses, and other purchase price adjustments in accordance with GAAP (the “Barstool Acquisition”). We issued 2,442,809 shares of our common stock and utilized $315.3 million of cash to complete the Barstool Acquisition. The Company held 36% of the outstanding shares of Barstool common stock prior to the Barstool Acquisition and, as such, the acquisition date estimated fair value of this previously held equity method investment was a component of the purchase consideration. Based on the acquisition date fair value of Barstool of $660.0 million and the carrying amount of this investment of $171.1 million, the Company recorded a gain of $66.5 million related to remeasurement of the equity investment immediately prior to the acquisition date, which is included in “Gain on Barstool Acquisition, net” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also recorded a gain of $16.9 million related to the acquisition of the remaining 64% of Barstool common stock, which is included in “Gain on Barstool Acquisition, net” within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the period beginning February 17, 2023 through March 31, 2023, Barstool’s revenue and net loss included in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations were $28.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively. On August 8, 2023, PENN entered into a Sportsbook Agreement with ESPN, which provides for a long-term strategic relationship between PENN and ESPN relating to online sports betting in the United States. Pursuant to the Sportsbook Agreement, PENN rebranded the existing Barstool Sportsbook across all online platforms in the United States as ESPN BET (the “Sportsbook”) and oversees daily operations of the Sportsbook. See Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies” for more information related to the Sportsbook Agreement. In connection with PENN’s decision to rebrand our online sports betting business from Barstool Sportsbook to ESPN BET pursuant to the Sportsbook Agreement as discussed above, PENN entered into the Barstool SPA with David Portnoy and sold 100% of the outstanding shares of Barstool to David Portnoy in exchange for nominal cash consideration (one dollar) and certain non-compete and other restrictive covenants. Additionally, PENN has the right to receive 50% of the gross proceeds received by David Portnoy in any subsequent sale or other monetization event of Barstool. Upon the disposal of Barstool in the third quarter of 2023, PENN recognized a pre-tax loss of $923.2 million (inclusive of $714.8 million in goodwill and intangible assets write offs and a $70.0 million indemnification liability discussed below). See Note 14, “Fair Value Measurements” for more information related to the indemnification liability. For information on the tax-related impacts from the Barstool transactions, see Note 10, “Income Taxes.” P ursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN will indemnify Barstool and its subsidiaries and David Portnoy for certain tax matters. The indemnity provisions generally provide for the Company’s control of defense and settlement of claims, as well as certain other costs, associated with potential tax matters related to Barstool and its subsidiaries and David Portnoy.
