REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2014

Dover Motorsports, Inc. (NYSE: DVD) today reported results for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The Company promoted a NASCAR triple-header in Dover during the third quarter of 2014 and 2013. Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $21,061,000 compared with $21,470,000 in the third quarter of 2013. The slight decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower motorsports admissions and event-related revenue, partially offset by the contracted increase in broadcasting revenue.

Operating and marketing expenses were $11,878,000 in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $11,618,000 in the third quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to higher purse and sanction fees and increased promotion and security costs during the Dover Fall NASCAR weekend.

General and administrative expenses of $1,724,000 in the third quarter of 2014 were comparable to $1,732,000 in the third quarter of 2013.

The Company decided to remove certain grandstand sections during the third quarter of 2014 to reduce excess capacity at Dover International Speedway and is exploring alternative uses for these sections. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss on disposal of long-lived assets of $2,403,000 in the third quarter of 2014 attributable to the removal and disposal of the grandstands which were not fully depreciated.

Net interest expense decreased to $71,000 in the third quarter of 2014 from $237,000 for the third quarter of 2013. The decrease was due to lower outstanding borrowings, lower interest rates and lower fees.

Earnings before income tax expense decreased to $4,182,000 for the third quarter of 2014 from $7,111,000 for the third quarter of 2013. The results for 2014 include the $2,403,000 loss on disposal associated with the grandstand removal at Dover International Speedway. On an adjusted basis, excluding this loss on disposal, earnings before income tax expense for the third quarter of 2014 were $6,585,000. The decrease in 2014 from 2013 is primarily due to lower results from Dover’s Fall NASCAR race weekend discussed above.

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2014 decreased to $2,601,000 or $0.07 per diluted share from $4,158,000 or $.11 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013. On an adjusted basis, excluding the loss on disposal, net earnings were $4,048,000 or $.11 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2014.


The Company announced yesterday that its Board of Directors declared an annual cash dividend on both classes of common stock of $.05 per share. The dividend will be payable on December 10, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 10, 2014. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, we will evaluate dividends annually.

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s total indebtedness was $14,720,000 compared with $18,080,000 at September 30, 2013.

On October 7, 2014, we entered into an amendment to extend closing under our May 28, 2014 agreement to sell Nashville Superspeedway. The purchaser made a $200,000 non-refundable payment to us in consideration for the amendment and closing is now expected to take place in the fourth quarter.

(1) 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.

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 - diluted are derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for the aforementioned loss on disposal of long-lived assets. 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 - diluted, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

(2) The components of earnings per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 do not add to the adjusted earnings per diluted share due to rounding.
