PENN Entertainment reported Q4 FY2023 revenue decline, lower-than-expected earnings, and GAAP loss, partly due to ESPN BET's increased promotional expenses.

PENN Entertainment, the casino, sports betting, and entertainment operator, reported lower-than-expected quarterly earnings in Q4 FY2023. The company recorded a revenue of $1.40 billion, a 12% year-on-year decline, with a GAAP loss of $2.37 per share, down from a profit of $0.13 per share in the same period last year. The financial results were impacted by investments in the high-growth digital business, particularly the ESPN BET, which attracted more first-time depositors than anticipated, leading to higher promotional expenses.
