Dover Motorsports, Inc. (NYSE: DVD) today reported its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
The Company historically reports a loss in the first quarter due to the seasonality of our motorsports business. No major events were promoted during the first quarter of 2017 or 2016; therefore, our revenues were minimal.
Operating and marketing expenses of $1,054,000 in the first quarter of 2017 decreased from $1,206,000 in the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to lower employee costs.
General and administrative expenses of $2,008,000 in the first quarter of 2017 were consistent with the $1,954,000 in the first quarter of 2016.
Costs to remove long-lived assets of $286,000 represent costs incurred during the first quarter of 2017 to remove the remaining grandstands, seats and structures that were taken out of service and written off in 2015. We started the removal project during the fourth quarter of 2016 and incurred a total cost of approximately $489,000.
Depreciation expense decreased to $821,000 in the first quarter of 2017 from $896,000 in the first quarter of 2016. The 2016 expense included approximately $91,000 of increased depreciation expense due to a change in the useful life of assets that we decided to renovate during 2016.
Net interest expense was $48,000 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $59,000 in the first quarter of 2016.
Loss before income taxes was $4,108,000 for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $3,962,000 for the first quarter of 2016. The results for 2017 include the $286,000 of costs to remove long-lived assets while the 2016 results include the $91,000 of accelerated depreciation expense. On an adjusted basis, excluding these items, loss before income taxes was $3,822,000 for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $3,871,000 for the first quarter of 2016.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $2,405,000 or $.07 per diluted share compared with a loss of $2,343,000 or $.06 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016. Net loss, adjusted for the aforementioned items, was $2,238,000 or $.06 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $2,289,000 or $.06 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2016. At March 31, 2017, the Company’s total indebtedness was $6,360,000 compared with $7,580,000 at March 31, 2016.
As previously announced, on August 25, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Nashville Superspeedway facility along with some related equipment and other assets. A second amendment was signed on March 22, 2017 to extend the agreement. Closing is now anticipated during the third quarter of 2017. The assets of Nashville Superspeedway are reported as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets.

_________________________ |

|
(1) |
During the first quarter of 2016, we began a renovation project of certain track related assets at our Dover International Speedway facility which was completed in the first quarter of 2017. As a result, we shortened the service lives of these assets which resulted in accelerated depreciation being recorded in the first quarter of 2016. | |
|
(2) |
Costs to remove long-lived assets represents costs incurred to remove and dispose of certain grandstand seating at our Dover International Speedway facility. | |
|
(3) |
The components of GAAP net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 do not add to the adjusted net loss per common share due to rounding. | |
| 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 loss before income taxes, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per common share – basic and diluted are derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for the aforementioned accelerated depreciation 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 loss before income taxes, net loss or net loss per common share – basic and diluted, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. | ||
