The Company’s strategy continues to evolve from an owner and manager of gaming and racing properties into an omni-channel provider of retail and online gaming and sports betting entertainment.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we owned, managed, or had ownership interests in 41 gaming and racing properties in 19 states and were licensed to offer live sports betting at our properties in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The majority of the real estate assets (i.e., land and buildings) used in our operations are subject to triple net master leases;leases, the most significant of which are the Penn Master Lease and the Pinnacle Master Lease (as such terms are defined in Note 11,9, “Leases,” and collectively referred to as the “Master Leases”), with Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLPI) (“GLPI”), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Update on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Company Response:Pandemic: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (known as “COVID-19”) outbreak to be a global pandemic. We began temporary suspension of the operations of all of our properties between March 13, 2020 and March 19, 2020 pursuant to various orders from state gaming regulatory bodies or governmental authorities to combat the rapid spread of COVID-19. We began reopening our properties on May 18, 2020 with reduced gaming and hotel capacity and limited food and beverage offerings in order to accommodate comprehensive social distancing and health and safety protocols. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, with the exception of Valley Race Park and Zia Park Casino,2021, all of our properties have reopened.
Duringreopened, and the first quarter of 2020, the Company took various actions to reduce its cost structure to help mitigate the operating and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the period the properties were closed, which included: (i) furloughing the vast majority of its employees andour properties are operating with a minimum staffing of less than 850 employees company-wide during the closures; (ii) enacting meaningful compensation reductionsat full capacity while adhering to its remaining property and corporate leadership teams effective April 1, 2020 and through September 30, 2020 (compensation was fully restored effective October 1, 2020); and (iii) executing substantial reductions in operating expenses and capital expenditures, including temporarily suspending construction of its 2 planned Category 4 development projects in Pennsylvania. In addition, during the pendency of property closures, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to forgo their cash compensation effective April 1, 2020 and through September 30, 2020.
Between March 13, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we entered into a series of transactions to improve our financial position and liquidity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including: (i) on March 13, 2020, we provided notice to our lenders to borrow the remaining available amount of $430.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility; (ii) on March 27, 2020, we entered into a binding term sheet with GLPI (the “Term Sheet”) whereby GLPI agreed to (a) purchase the real estate assets associated with Tropicana Las Vegas (“Tropicana”) in exchange for rent credits of $307.5 million, which closed on April 16, 2020, and (b) a sale-leaseback of the land underlying our Hollywood Casino Morgantown (“Morgantown”) development project in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, in exchange for rent credits of $30.0 million, which closed on October 1, 2020; (iii) on May 14, 2020 (May 19, 2020 with respect to the Underwriters’ exercising their options to acquire additional 2.75% Convertible Notes), we completed a public offering of $330.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Notes; (iv) on May 14, 2020 (May 19, 2020 with respect to the Underwriters’ exercising their options to purchase additional shares), we completed a public offering of 19,166,667 aggregate shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Penn Common Stock”) for gross proceeds of $345.0 million; and (v) on September 24, 2020 (September 25, 2020 with respect to the Underwriters’ exercising their options to purchase additional shares), we completed a public offering of 16,100,000 aggregate shares of Penn Common Stock for gross proceeds of $982.1 million. In addition, on April 14, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement, which, among other things, provides it with relief from its financial covenants for a period of up to one year. Further, on September 30, 2020, the Company fully repaid $670.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility. The terms “Revolving Credit Facility,” “Convertible Notes” and “Credit Agreement” are defined in Note 10, “Long-term Debt.”
On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which provides emergency economic assistance for American workers, families and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic relief package includes government loan enhancement programs and various tax provisions to help improve liquidity for American businesses. Based on our evaluation of the CARES Act, we qualify for certain employer refundable payroll credits, deferral of applicable payroll taxes, net operating loss (“NOL”) carrybacks and immediate expensing for eligible qualified improvement property. We intend to continue to review and consider available benefits under the CARES Act for which we qualify, including those described above.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to our business and had a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, the magnitude of which continues to develop based on (i) the timing and extent of the recovery in visitation and consumer spending at our properties; (ii) the continued impact of implementing social distancing andstate mandated health and safety guidelines at our properties, including reductions in gaming and hotel capacity and limiting the number of food and beverage options; and (iii) whether any of our properties will be required to again temporarily suspend operations in the event that the pandemic significantly worsens. We are currently unable to determine whether, when or how the conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will change or whether the recovery in visitation and consumer spending is sustainable.
The Company could experience other potential adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, further charges from adjustments to the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, long-lived asset impairment charges, or impairments of investments in joint ventures. In addition, the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may result in further changes in the amount of valuation allowance required. Actual results may differ materially from the Company’s current estimates as the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, depending largely, though not exclusively, on the impact of required capacity reductions, social distancing and health and safety guidelines, and the sustainability of current trends in recovery at our reopened properties.protocols.
Basis of Presentation: The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be achieved during a full year of operations or in future periods. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates that do not meet the consolidation criteria of the authoritative guidance for voting interest entities or variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Segment Information: We view each of our gaming and racing properties as an operating segment with the exception of our 2 properties in Jackpot, Nevada, which we view as 1 operating segment.

Revenue Recognition: Our revenue from contracts with customers consists primarily of gaming wagers, food and beverage transactions, retail transactions, hotel room sales, racing wagers, and sports betting wagers. See Note 5, “Revenue Disaggregation,” for information on our revenue by type and geographic location.
Complimentaries Associated with Gaming Contracts
Food, and beverage, hotel, and other services furnished to patrons for free as an inducement to gamble or through the redemption of our customers’ loyalty points are recorded as food, beverage, hotel and other revenues, at their estimated standalone selling prices with an offset recorded as a reduction to gaming revenues. The cost of providing complimentary goods and services to patrons as an inducement to gamble as well as for the fulfillment of our loyalty point obligation is included in food, beverage, hotel and other expenses. Revenues recorded to food, beverage, hotel and other and offset to gaming revenues were as follows:

Customer-related Liabilities
The Company has three3 general types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (i) the obligation associated with its mychoice program (loyalty points and tier status benefits), (ii) advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided and for unpaid wagers, and (iii) deferred revenue associated with third-party sports betting operators for online sports betting and related iGaming market access.
Our mychoice program allows members to utilize their reward membership cardscard to earn loyalty points that are redeemable for slot play and complimentaries, such as food and beverage at our restaurants, lodging at our hotels and products offered at our retail stores across the vast majority of our properties. In addition, members of the mychoice program earn credit toward tier status, which entitles them to receive certain other benefits, such as gifts. The obligation associated with our mychoice program, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $35.2$36.7 million and $36.2$35.8 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, and consisted principally of the obligation associated with the loyalty points. Our loyalty point obligations are generally settled within six months of issuance; however, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting temporary closures, loyalty point obligations may take longer to settle. Changes between the opening and closing balances primarily relate to the timing of our customers’ election to redeem loyalty points as well as the timing of when our customers receive their earned tier status benefits.
The Company’s advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided and for unpaid wagers primarily consist of the following: (i) deposits on rooms and convention space, (ii) money deposited on behalf of a customer in advance of their property visit (referred to as “safekeeping” or “front money”), (iii) money deposited in an online wallet not yet wagered or wagered and not yet withdrawn, (iv) outstanding tickets generated by slot machine play or pari-mutuel wagering, (iv)(v) outstanding chip liabilities, (v)(vi) unclaimed jackpots, and (vi)(vii) gift cards redeemable at our properties. Unpaid wagers primarily relate to the Company’s obligation to settle outstanding slot tickets, pari-mutuel racing tickets, and gaming chips with customers and future withdrawals from online wallets. Unpaid wagers generally represent obligations stemming from prior wagering events, of which revenue was previously recognized. The Company’s advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided and for unpaid wagers were $42.1$54.4 million and $42.2$47.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, of which $0.6 million werenone was classified as long-term in both periods.as of June 30, 2021 as compared to $0.5 million as of December 31, 2020. The current portion and long-term portion of our advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided and for unpaid wagers are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
Penn Interactive enters into multi-year agreements with sports betting operators for online sports betting and related iGaming market access across our portfolio of properties, from which we received cash and equity securities, including ordinary shares and warrants, specific to 2 operator agreements. Deferred revenue associated with third-party sports betting operators for online sports betting and related iGaming market access, which is included in “Other long-term liabilities” within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $51.8$54.9 million and $43.6$52.7 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.
Gaming and Racing Taxes: We are subject to gaming and pari-mutuel taxes primarily based on gross gaming revenue and pari-mutuel revenue in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The Company primarily recognizes gaming and pari-mutuel tax expense based on the statutorily required percentage of revenue that is required to be paid to state and local jurisdictions in the states where or in which the wagering occurs.occurs, as well as taxes on revenues derived from arrangements which allow for third party partners to operate online casinos and online sportsbooks under our gaming licenses. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, these expenses, which
were recorded primarily in gaming expense or food, beverage, hotel and other expenses within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), as applicable, were $349.2$515.9 million and $783.1$933.8 million respectively, as compared to $403.1$97.6 million and $1,189.4$433.9 million respectively, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.
Convertible Debt: Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC 470-20”), an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest. The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for our Convertible Notes is that the equity component is required to be included in “Additional paid-in capital” within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the issuance date and the value of the equity component is treated as a debt discount. See Note 10, “Long-term Debt,” for more information.2020, respectively.Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the additional dilution, if any, for all potentially-dilutive securities such as stock options, unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), outstanding convertible preferred stock and convertible debt.
Holders of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 12,10, “Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates”) are entitled to participate equally and ratably in all dividends and distributions paid to holders of Penn Common Stock irrespective of any vesting requirement. Accordingly, the Series D Preferred Stock shares are considered a participating security and the Company is required to apply the two-class method to consider the impact of the preferred shares on the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. The holders of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock are not obligated to absorb losses; therefore, in reporting periods where the Company is in a net loss position, it does not apply the two-class method. In reporting periods where the Company is in a net income position, the two-class method is applied by allocating all earnings during the period to common shares and preferred shares. See Note 16,14, “Earnings (Loss) per Share,” for more information.
Note 3—New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Implemented in 2020
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (referred to as “CECL”) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. We adopted ASU 2016-13 during the first quarter of 2020 using a modified retrospective approach, which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020 of $0.6 million.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Cost Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). Under the new guidance, customers apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs as they would for an arrangement that has a software license. This will result in certain implementation costs being capitalized; the associated amortization charge will, however, be recorded as an operating expense. Under the previous guidance, costs incurred when implementing a cloud computing arrangement deemed to be a service contract were recorded as an operating expense when incurred. We adopted ASU 2018-15 during the first quarter of 2020 using a prospective approach, which did not have a material impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which intends to simplify the guidance by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and clarifying or amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2019-12 during the third quarter of 2020 on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Pronouncements to be Implemented
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815” (“ASU 2020-01”), which made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a
similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, ASU 2020-01 clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting. For public business entities, ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-01 on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides an optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (referred to as “LIBOR”), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 also provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted no later than December 1,31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The interest rates associated with the Company’s borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined in Note 10,8, “Long-term Debt”) are tied to LIBOR. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on its consolidated financial statements.our Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2020, The FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 814): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the number of accounting models used to account for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. The update also amends the disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and EPS in an effort to increase financial reporting transparency. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.our Consolidated Financial Statements.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently being studied by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on our consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 4—Hurricane Laura
On August 27, 2020, Hurricane Laura made landfall in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which caused significant damage to our L’Auberge Lake Charles property and closure of the property for 17 days.approximately 2 weeks. The Company maintains insurance, subject to certain deductibles and coinsurance, for the repair or replacement of assets that suffered loss and provides coverage for interruption to our business, including lost profits.
The Company recorded a receivable of $50.6 million relating to our estimate of repairs and maintenance costs which have been incurred as well as identifiedand property and equipment which have been written off, and for which we deem the recovery of such costs and property and equipment from our insurerinsurers to be probable. The insurance recovery receivable is included in “Receivables”“Receivables, net” within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As we deem it is probable that the proceeds to be recovered from our insurers exceeds the total of our insurance recovery recorded and our insurers’ deductible and coinsurance, we did not record any loss associated with the impact of this natural disaster.
Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, we were in process of performing our due diligence in an effort to quantify the claim amount under the policy that will be submitted to the insurer. We expect to complete our due diligence and submit the claim to the insurer during the fourth quarter of 2020. As such, the Company did not receive any proceeds relating to this event for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Timing differences are likely to exist between the recognition of (i) impairment losses and capital expenditures made to repair or restore the assets and (ii) the receipt of insurance proceeds within the Company’s consolidated financial statements.unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
The amount of the receivable was $28.3 million and $23.0 million, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we identified an additional $1.3 million and $5.3 million of costs related to our policy claim, respectively. NaN proceeds were received from our insurers during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We continue to be in the process of quantifying the claim amount under the policies to be submitted to our insurers.
We will record proceeds in excess of the recognized losses and lost profits under our business interruption insurance as a gain contingency in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies,” which we expect to recognize at the time of final settlement or when nonrefundable cash advances are made in a period subsequent to SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.
The following table summarizes the financial impact of Hurricane Laura related matters:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (in millions) | June 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 |
| Insurance Proceeds | $ | 47.5 | | | $ | 47.5 | |

| Insurance Receivable | $ | 28.3 | | | $ | 23.0 | |
Note 5—Revenue Disaggregation

The contingent liability is payable in annual installments over three years, through a combination of cash and the Company's common equity, and is based on hand and incremental borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.
During the first quarterachievement of 2020, the Company finalized the allocation of thecertain performance factors. The preliminary purchase price to the tangible and identifiableallocation resulted in recognition of $8.5 million of goodwill, $4.3 million in developed technology which is included in "Other intangible assets, acquired and liabilities assumed,net" within the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, along with the excess recorded as goodwill, as follows:

The Company used the income, market, or cost approach (or a combination thereof) for the valuation, as appropriate, and used valuation inputs in these models and analyses that were based on market participant assumptions. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Property and equipment acquired consists of non-REIT assets (e.g., equipment for use in gaming operations, furniture and other equipment). We determined that the land and buildings subject to the Greektown Lease, which was entered into at the time of the acquisition, representedmiscellaneous operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets with a corresponding operating lease liability calculated based on the present value of the future lease payments at the acquisition date in accordance with GAAP. Management determined the fair value of its office equipment, computer equipment and slot machine gaming devices based on the market approach and other personal property based on the cost approach, supported where available by observable market data, which includes consideration of obsolescence.
Acquired identifiable intangible assets consist of a gaming license and a trademark, which are both indefinite-lived intangible assets and customer relationships, which is an amortizing intangible asset with an assigned useful life of 2 years. Management valued (i) the gaming license using the Greenfield Method under the income approach; (ii) the trademark using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach; and (iii) customer relationships (rated player databases) using the with-and-without method of the income approach. All valuation methods are forms of the income approach supported by observable market data for peer casino operator companies.

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, principally due to on-going negative operating results of these racetracks, 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
NaN further impairment loss was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020. NaN impairment was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Note 13—11—Income Taxes
On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the CARES Act, which focused on providing relief in response to the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other provisions, the CARES Act provides various forms of income tax relief to U.S. taxpayers through temporary amendments to NOL rules, temporarily increases the limitation on interest expense deductibility and immediate expensing for eligible qualified improvement property. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the CARES Act. As of September 30, 2020, we are estimating an income tax refund between approximately $40 million and $50 million primarily attributable to the carryback of NOLs generated in the current year.
The Company calculates the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate to its year-to-date pretax book income or loss. The tax effects of discrete items, including but not limited to, excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation, valuation allowance adjustments based on new evidence and enactment of tax laws, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income or loss before income taxes) including discrete items was (11.3)%21.1% and 20.2%20.3% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, as compared to 31.0%21.4% and 28.0%16.1% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. Our effective income tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings, changes to our valuation allowance and the level of our tax credits. Certain of these and other factors, including our history and projections of pretax earnings, are considered in assessing our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets.
As of each reporting date, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income“Income Taxes.” As of December 31, 2019, the Company had significant three-year cumulative pretax income of $150.9 million and concluded thatJune 30, 2021, we intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance was not necessary except for a federal capital loss carryforward and certain stateon our deferred tax assets where we continueuntil there is sufficient positive evidence to besupport the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A reduction in the valuation allowance would result in a three-year cumulative pretax loss position. The Company’ssignificant decrease to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the reduction in our valuation allowance are unknown at this time and will be subject to the earnings level we achieve in 2021 as of December 31, 2019 was $54.2 million.
well as our projected income levels in future periods. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, the Company determined that a valuation allowance was still necessary due to the significant impairment charge previously recorded during the first quarter of 2020, related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such objective evidence of being in a three-year cumulative pretax loss limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our forecast of pretax earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2020,2021, the Company decreased the valuation allowance in the amount of $37.7$12.9 million on certain federal and state deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized as a resultrealized. As of the recent law change whereby qualified improvement property now qualifies for accelerated bonus depreciation, which was applied on a retroactive basis.June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, prepaid income taxes of $31.6 million and $52.7 million, respectively, were included in “Prepaid expenses” within our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 17—15—Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below:
•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate. The fair value of the Company’s trade accounts receivable and payables approximates the carrying amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying amount, due to the short maturity of the cash equivalents.
Equity Securities
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we held $112.1$161.9 million and $40.5$143.1 million in equity securities, respectively, including ordinary shares and warrants, which are reported as “Other assets” in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.Sheets. These equity securities are the result of Penn Interactive entering into multi-year agreements with third-party sports betting operators for online sports betting and related iGaming market access across our portfolio. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we recognized a holding loss of $7.4 million, and a holding gain of $67.9$18.8 million and $75.6 million, respectively, related to these equity securities, respectively, compared to a gain of $29.5 million and $7.7 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which is included in “Other,” as reported in “Other income (expenses)” within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The fair value of the equity securities was determined using Level 2 inputs, which use market approach valuation techniques. The primary inputs to those techniques include the quoted market price of the equity securities, foreign currency exchange rates, a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) with respect to the ordinary shares, and a Black-Scholes option pricing model with respect to the warrants. The DLOM is based on the remaining term of the relevant lock-up periods and the volatility associated with the underlying equity securities. The Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizes the exercise price of the warrants, a risk-free rate, volatility associated with the underlying equity securities and the expected life of the warrants.
Held-to-maturity Securities and Promissory Notes
We have a management contract with Retama Development Corporation (“RDC”), a local government corporation of the City of Selma, Texas, to manage the day-to-day operations of Retama Park Racetrack, located outside of San Antonio, Texas. In addition, we own 1.0% of the equity of Retama Nominal Holder, LLC, which holds a nominal interest in the racing license used to operate Retama Park Racetrack, and a 75.5% interest in Pinnacle Retama Partners, LLC (“PRP”), which owns the contingent gaming rights that may arise if gaming under the existing racing license becomes legal in Texas in the future.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, PRP held $15.1 million in promissory notes issued by RDC and $6.7 million in local government corporation bonds issued by RDC, at amortized cost. The promissory notes and the local government corporation bonds are collateralized by the assets of Retama Park Racetrack. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the promissory notes and the local government corporation bonds which have long-term contractual maturities, were included in “Other assets” within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The contractual terms of these promissory notes include interest payments due at maturity; however, we have not recorded accrued interest on these promissory notes because uncertainty exists as to RDC’s ability to make interest payments. We have the positive intent and ability to hold the local government corporation bonds to maturity and until the amortized cost is recovered. The estimated fair values of such investments are principally based on appraised values of the land associated with Retama Park Racetrack, which are classified as Level 2 inputs.
Long-term Debt
The fair value of our Term Loan A Facility, Term Loan B-1 Facility, 5.625% Notes, and 2.75% Convertible Notes is estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and is classified as a Level 1 measurement. The fair value of our Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying amount as it is revolving, variable-rate debt, which we also classify as a Level 1 measurement.
Other long-term obligations as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 included a financing arrangement entered in February of 2021, the relocation fees for Dayton and Mahoning Valley, which are discussed in Note 10, “Long-term Debt,” and the repayment obligation of the hotel and event center located near Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg. See Note 8, “Long-term Debt” for details. The fair values of these long-term obligationsthe Dayton and Mahoning Valley relocations fees and the Lawrenceburg repayment obligation are estimated based on rates consistent with the Company’s credit rating for comparable terms and debt instruments and are classified as Level 2 measurements.
Other Liabilities
Other liabilities as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 principally consisted of contingent purchase price liabilities related to Plainridge Park Casino and as of December 31, 2019, principally consisted ofHitpoint, which was acquired on May 11, 2021. The Hitpoint contingent purchase price related to Plainridge Park Casinoliability is payable in $1.0 million installments in the form of cash and Absolute Games, LLC (“Absolute Games”), which was acquiredequity, on the first 3 anniversaries of the acquisition close date (May 11, 2021) and is based on the achievement of mutual goals established by Penn Interactive during the second quarter of 2018.Company and Hitpoint. The Plainridge Park Casino contingent purchase price liability is calculated based on earnings of the gaming operations over the first ten years of operations, which commenced on June 24, 2015. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we were contractually obligated to make 5 additional annual payments. During the second quarter of 2020, we made the second and final payment of $8.2 million on the Absolute Games contingent purchase price, which corresponded to the second year of operations after the acquisition and was calculated based on earnings. The fair value of these liabilities, which arethe Plainridge Park Casino contingent purchase price liability is estimated based on an income approach using a discounted cash flow model andmodel. These contingent purchase price liabilities have been classified as a Level 3 measurements,measurement and are included within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” or “Other long-term liabilities,” depending on the timing of the next payment.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we owned, managed, or had ownership interests in 41 gaming and racing properties in 19 states and were licensed to offer live sports betting at our properties in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The majority of the real estate assets (i.e., land and buildings) used in our operations are subject to triple net master leases; the most significant of which are the Penn Master Lease and the Pinnacle Master Lease (as such terms are defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and collectively referred to as the “Master Leases”), with Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc.

In addition, we will soon commence operations of two Category 4 satellite gaming casinos in Pennsylvania: Hollywood Casino York, which is scheduled to open August 12, 2021, and Hollywood Casino Morgantown is expected to commence operations by the end of 2021. Update on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Company Response
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared thePandemic: novel coronavirus (known as “COVID-19”) outbreak to be a global pandemic. We began temporary suspension of the operations of all of our properties between March 13, 2020 and March 19, 2020 pursuant to various orders from state gaming regulatory bodies or governmental authorities to combat the rapid spread of COVID-19. We began reopening our properties on May 18, 2020 with reduced gaming and hotel capacity and limited food and beverage offerings in order to accommodate comprehensive social distancing and health and safety protocols. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, with the exception of Valley Race Park and Zia Park Casino,2021, all of our properties have reopened. For a thorough discussion of the operating performancereopened, and majority of our properties since reopening, see “Results of Operations” below.During the first quarter of 2020, the Company took various actionsare operating at full capacity while adhering to reduce its cost structures to help mitigate the operating and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the period the properties were closed, which included: (i) furloughing the vast majority of its employees and operating with a minimum staffing of less than 850 employees company-wide during the closures; (ii) enacting meaningful compensation reductions to its remaining property and corporate leadership teams effective April 1, 2020 and through September 30, 2020 (compensation was fully restored effective October 1, 2020); and (iii) executing substantial reductions in operating expenses and capital expenditures, including temporarily suspending construction of its two planned Category 4 development projects in Pennsylvania. In addition, during the pendency of property closures, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to forgo their cash compensation, effective April 1, 2020, and through September 30, 2020.
Between March 13, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we entered into a series of transactions to improve our financial position and liquidity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including: (i) on March 13, 2020, we provided notice to our lenders to borrow the remaining available amount of $430.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility; (ii) on March 27, 2020, we entered into a binding term sheet with GLPI (the “Term Sheet”) whereby GLPI agreed to (a) purchase the real estate assets associated with Tropicana Las Vegas (“Tropicana”) in exchange for rent credits of $307.5 million, which closed on April 16, 2020, and (b) a sale-leaseback of the land underlying our Hollywood Casino Morgantown (“Morgantown”) development project in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, in exchange for rent credits of $30.0 million, which closed on October 1, 2020; (iii) on May 14, 2020 (May 19, 2020 with respect to the Underwriters’ exercising their options to acquire additional 2.75% Convertible Notes), we completed a public offering of $330.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Notes; (iv) on May 14,
2020 (May 19, 2020 with respect to the Underwriters’ exercising their options to purchase additional shares), we completed a public offering of 19,166,667 aggregate shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Penn Common Stock”) for gross proceeds of $345.0 million; and (v) on September 24, 2020 (September 25, 2020 with respect to the Underwriters’ exercising their options to purchase additional shares), we completed a public offering of 16,100,000 aggregate shares of Penn Common Stock for gross proceeds of $982.1 million. In addition, on April 14, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement, which, among other things, provides it with relief from its financial covenants for a period of up to one year. Further, on September 30, 2020, the Company fully repaid $670.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility. The terms “Revolving Credit Facility,” “Convertible Notes” and “Credit Agreement” are defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which provides emergency economic assistance for American workers, families and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic relief package includes government loan enhancement programs and various tax provisions to help improve liquidity for American businesses. Based on our evaluation of the CARES Act, we qualify for certain employer refundable payroll credits, deferral of applicable payroll taxes, net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback and immediate expensing for eligible qualified improvement property. We intend to continue to review and consider available benefits under the CARES Act for which we qualify, including those described above.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to our business and a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, the magnitude of which continues to develop based on (i) the timing and extent of the recovery in visitation and consumer spending at our properties; (ii) the continued impact of implementing social distancing andstate mandated health and safety guidelines at our properties, including reductions in gaming and hotel capacity and limiting the number of food and beverage options; and (iii) whether any of our properties will be required to again temporarily suspend operations in the event that the pandemic worsens. We are currently unable to determine whether, when or how the conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will change or whether the recovery in visitation and consumer spending is sustainable.
The Company could experience other potential adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, further charges from adjustments to the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, long-lived asset impairment charges, or impairments of investments in joint ventures. In addition, the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may result in further changes in the amount of valuation allowance required. Actual results may differ materially from the Company’s current estimates as the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, depending largely, though not exclusively, on the impact of required capacity reductions, social distancing and health and safety guidelines, and the sustainability of current trends in recovery at our reopened properties.protocols.
Recent Acquisitions, Development Projects and Other

Furthermore,Within 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$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).

Operating and Competitive Environment
Most of our properties operate in mature, competitive markets. We expect that the majority of our future growth will come from new business lines or distribution channels, such as retail and online gaming and sports betting; entrance into new jurisdictions; expansions of gaming in existing jurisdictions; and, to a lesser extent, improvements/expansions of our existing properties and strategic acquisitions of gaming properties. Our portfolio is comprised largely of well-maintained regional gaming facilities, which has allowed us to develop what we believe to be a solid base for future growth opportunities. We have also made investments in joint ventures that we believe will allow us to capitalize on additional gaming opportunities in certain states if legislation or referenda are passed that permit and/or expand gaming in these jurisdictions and we are selected as a licensee.
As reported by most jurisdictions, regional gaming industry trends have shown little revenue growth the last several years as numerous jurisdictions now permit gaming or have expanded their gaming offerings. In recent years, the proliferation of new gaming properties has impacted the overall domestic gaming industry as well as our results of operations in certain markets. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic the economic environment, specifically historically low levels of unemployment, strength in residential real estate prices, and high levels of consumer confidence, had resulted in a stable operating environment in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the level of unemployment and decreased the level of consumer confidence. Our ability to succeed in this new environment will be predicated on our abilityevolves, we continue to adjust operations and cost structures at our reopened properties to reflect the newchanging economic and health and safety conditions, operating our properties efficiently, realizingconditions. We also continue to focus on revenue and cost synergies from recent acquisitions, and offering our customers additional gaming experiences through our omni-channel distribution strategy. We seek to continue to expand our customer database by partnering with third-party operators such as Choice Hotels International, Inc. to expand our loyalty program, as well as through accretive acquisitions or investments, such as Barstool Sports, capitalize on organic growth opportunities from the development of new properties or the expansion of recently-developed business lines, and develop partnerships that allow us to enter new jurisdictions for iGaming and sports betting.
The gaming industry is characterized by an increasingly high degree of competition among a large number of participants, including riverboat casinos; dockside casinos; land-based casinos; video lottery; iGaming; online and retail sports betting; gaming at taverns; gaming at truck stop establishments; sweepstakes and poker machines not located in casinos; the potential for increased fantasy sports, significant growth of Native American gaming tribes, historic racing or state-sponsored i-lottery products in or adjacent to states we operate in; and other forms of gaming in the U.S. More specifically, due to recent legislation to expand gaming in and around Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, several of our properties within our Northeast segment and some of our properties within our Midwest segment have been and will continue to be negatively impacted by new or increased competition.
Key Performance Indicators
In our business, revenue is driven by discretionary consumer spending. We have no certain mechanism for determining why consumers choose to spend more or less money at our properties from period-to-period; therefore, we are unable to quantify a dollar amount for each factor that impacts our customers’ spending behaviors. However, based on our experience, we can generally offer some insight into the factors that we believe are likely to account for such changes and which factors may have a greater impact than others. For example, decreases in discretionary consumer spending have historically been brought
about by weakened general economic conditions, such as lackluster recoveries from recessions, high unemployment levels, higher income taxes, low levels of consumer confidence, weakness in the housing market, and high fuel or other transportation costs.costs, and most recently, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, visitation and the volume of play have historically been negatively impacted by significant construction surrounding our properties, adverse regional weather conditions and natural disasters. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has led to and will continue to lead to meaningful decreases in discretionary consumer spending and will continue to negatively impact visitation at our properties and the volume of play for the foreseeable future. In all instances, such insights are based solely on our judgment and professional experience, and no assurance can be given as to the accuracy of our judgments.
The vast majority of our revenues is gaming revenue, which is highly dependent upon the volume and spending levels of customers at our properties. Our gaming revenue is derived primarily from slot machines (which represented approximately 92%85% and 89% of our gaming revenue in both 2019for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2018)2020) and, to a lesser extent, table games and sports betting. Aside from gaming revenue, our revenues are primarily derived from our hotel, dining, retail, commissions, program sales, admissions, concessions and certain other ancillary activities, and our racing operations.
Key performance indicators related to gaming revenue are slot handle and table game drop, which are volume indicators, and “win” or “hold” percentage. Our typical property slot win percentage is in the range of approximately 7% to 9%10% of slot handle, and our typical table game hold percentage is in the range of approximately 16%14% to 25%27% of table game drop.
Slot handle is the gross amount wagered during a given period. The win or hold percentage is the net amount of gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for accruals related to the anticipated payout of progressive jackpots. Given the stability in our slot hold percentages on a historical basis, we have not experienced significant impacts to net income from changes in these percentages. For table games, customers usually purchase chips at the gaming tables. The cash and markers (extensions of credit granted to certain credit worthycredit-worthy customers) are deposited in the gaming table’s drop box. Table game hold is the amount of drop that is retained and recorded as gaming revenue, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for unredeemed gaming chips. As we are primarily focused on regional gaming markets, our table game hold percentages are fairly stable as the majority of these markets do not regularly experience high-end play, which can lead to volatility in hold percentages. Therefore, changes in table game hold percentages do not typically have a material impact to our results of operations and cash flows.
Under normal operating conditions, our properties generate significant operating cash flow since most of our revenue is cash-based from slot machines, table games, and pari-mutuel wagering. Our business is capital intensive, and we rely on cash flow from our properties to generate sufficient cash to satisfy our obligations under the Triple Net Leases (as defined in "Liquidity and Capital Resources”), repay debt, fund maintenance capital expenditures, fund new capital projects at existing properties and provide excess cash for future development and acquisitions. Additional information regarding our capital projects is discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Reportable Segments
We view each of our gaming and racing properties as an operating segment with the exception of our two properties in Jackpot, Nevada, which we view as one operating segment. We consider our combined VGT operations, by state, to be separate operating segments. We aggregate our operating segments into four reportable segments: Northeast, South, West and Midwest. For a listing of our gaming properties and VGT operations included in each reportable segment, see Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table highlights our revenues, net income (loss), and Adjusted EBITDA, on a consolidated basis, as well as our revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by reportable segment. Such segment reporting is on a basis consistent with how we measure our business and allocate resources internally. We consider net income (loss) to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted EBITDAR margin; as well as a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR and related margins.

As noted within “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, Adjusted EBITDAR, and the related margin, is presented on a consolidated basis outside the financial statements solely as a valuation metric. For three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period, Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDA, and the related margins, increased due to higher spend per trip (despite reductions in visitation) and cost structure initiatives such as: operating with a reduced workforce, focusing on higher margin gaming offerings, reducing marketing costs, and limiting certain lower margin food
and beverage offerings, such as buffets. For nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the prior period, Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDA, and the related margins, decreased due to the temporary closures of our properties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Food, beverage, hotel and other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $194.0 million and $173.7 million, respectively, compared to the prior year corresponding periods, primarily due to strong visitation levels, increased length of play, and its continued impact onlifting of capacity and operational restrictions previously in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, other revenues include a gross-up of gaming tax reimbursement amounts derived from arrangements which allow for our business. We began temporarily closingthird party partners to operate online casinos and online sportsbooks under our properties on March 13, 2020gaming licenses of $46.0 million and began reopening our properties on May 18, 2020, resulting in$85.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Additionally during 2020, upon reopening oAs of September 30, 2020, 39 of our 41 ur properties were reopened. Our properties are subject to restrictions on gaming capacity, which depending on the jurisdiction, are generally 50% less gaming devices. Furthermore, due primarily to the implementation of social distancing and health and safety protocols, our properties are subject to reduced hoteloperated within locally restricted capacity and limitations on the number oflimited food and beverage and other amenity offerings. As a result, upon reopening
For the six month period ended June 30, 2021, our properties gaming revenue now represents a larger portionexperienced strong visitation levels and increased length of play across all age segments of our total revenues, which we expectplayer database, attributable to the increased willingness of the 55+ age group to engage in social gatherings as vaccines continue until at least such time that social distancingto roll out across the country and health and safety protocols are relaxed or no longer necessary.
Since reopening, our properties have generally experienced reduced visitation and higher spend per trip,the younger demographic’s continued engagement even as compared to pre-closure levels. We largely attribute the higher spend per trip to pent-up demand, visitation from our higher worth customers, and customers’ propensity to spend after a prolonged period of limited domestic commerce and upon receipt of government stimulus payments.other entertainment options become available. In addition, in many of the states in whichour unrated play continues to perform well as we operate, leisure alternatives remain partially limited (e.g., bars, concerts, entertainment events, etc.), which may have impactedwork to introduce these customers into our operating results upon reopening our properties.mychoice loyalty program.

Gaming expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages associated with our gaming operations and gaming taxes. Gaming expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $478.9 million and $505.8 million, respectively, compared to the prior year corresponding periods, primarily due to an increase in gaming taxes resulting from the increase in gaming revenues, as discussed above. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our properties were temporarily closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced our gaming taxes, marketing expenses, and salaries and wages.

six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 decreased2021 increased $115.7 million and $81.8 million, respectively, compared to the prior year over yearcorresponding periods, primarily as a result of the temporary closures of all of our properties due to the inclusion of the gaming taxes in the current year periods, discussed above, and due to continued revenue recovery in food, beverage, hotel and other activity as various health and safety restrictions are relaxed or lifted. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented cost saving measures such as: operating with a reduced workforce, focusing on higher margin gaming offerings, reducing marketing costs, and limiting certain lower margin food and beverage offerings which reduced our salaries and wages, gaming taxes, costs of goods sold, and other expenses. As discussed above,expenses which helped mitigate our reopened properties are operating with reduced gamingfood, beverage, hotel and hotel capacity and limited food and beverage options. As such, our properties are operating with a reduced workforce, which reduced our salaries and wages. In addition, our properties have reduced marketing costs, which reduces gaming expenses.other expenses during the first six months of 2021 as compared to the previous year corresponding periods.
General and administrative expenses include items such as compliance, facility maintenance, utilities, property and liability insurance, surveillance and security, lobbying expenses, and certain housekeeping services, as well as all expenses for administrative departments such as accounting, purchasing, human resources, legal and internal audit. General and administrative expenses also include stock-based compensation expense; pre-opening expenses; acquisition and acquisitiontransaction costs; gains and losses on disposal of assets; changes in the fair value of our contingent purchase price obligations; expense associated with cash-settled stock-based awards (including changes in fair value thereto); restructuring costs (primarily severance) associated with a company-wide initiative triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic; and rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases.
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, general and administrative expenses increased yearperiod over yearperiod primarily due to thea $70.6 million increase in expense associated withpayroll expenses as minimal payroll costs were incurred as a result of property closures during the Company’s cash-settled stock-based awards of $43.0three months ended June 30, 2020, and a $12.7 million which is largely driven by the increase in the Company's stock price. Rent expenserent expenses associated with our triple net operating leases, increased by $12.7 million, as compared to the prior year period; the increase principally relates to the Tropicana Lease. Additionally, we incurred $12.4 million of restructuring costs primarily related to employee severance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that had not been incurred before the third quarter of 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses was offset by $13.6a $28.5 million in payroll tax credits received under the CARES Act as well as a recognized gain of $6.1 million related to the sale of assets, both of which reduced general and administrative expenses for three months ended September 30, 2020.
For nine months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses decreased year over year primarily as a result of the actions taken to reduce our cost structure while our properties were temporarily closed, which are discussed above and were mostly effective April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020. In addition, we received $35.0 million in payroll credits under the CARES Act as well as recognized a gain on disposal of assets of $33.9 million, both of which reduced general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the expense associated with the Company’s contingent purchase price obligations decreased by $8.4 million, as compared to the prior year period. Offsetting these decreases for nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period, was an increase in expensedecrease associated with the Company’s cash-settled stock-based awards expenseawards. Additionally, the prior year quarter included a $28.5 million gain on disposal of $53.2 million,capital assets related to sale of our Tropicana property in April 2020.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased period over period primarily due to an increase of $49.2 million in payroll expenses as minimal payroll costs were incurred as a result of property closures during the increase in our stock price, and ansix months ended June 30, 2020, a $25.6 million increase in rent expense of $39.3 million, whichexpenses associated with our triple net operating leases, principally relatesrelated to the Tropicana Lease, and the Greektown Lease. Additionally, we incurred $12.4 million of restructuring costs, primarily related to employee severance as a resultinclusion of the COVID-19 pandemic as describedgain on the sale of our Tropicana property discussed above.
Depreciation and amortization for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 decreased yearperiod over yearperiod primarily due to fixed assets and intangible assets becoming fully depreciated since September 30, 2019,and amortized, and the sale of the real estate assets of Tropicana in April 2020, and decreases of $1.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, in amortization expense at Penn Interactive. These were offset for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by an increase of $4.0 million at Greektown, which was acquired in May 2019.2020.
Impairment losses for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 primarily relaterelates to impairments taken on our goodwill and other intangible assets of $113.0 million and $498.5 million, respectively, as a result of an interim impairment assessment during the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we identified an indicator of impairment triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused all of our gaming properties to temporarily close. AtThere were no impairment losses during the time of the interim impairment assessment, we revised our cash flow projections to reflect the current economic environment, including the uncertainty of the nature, timingthree and extent of reopening our gaming properties.six months ended June 30, 2021.

Additionally, the interest expense associated with our long-term debt increased, as compared to the prior year period, by $3.0 million and $1.2 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, primarily due to the issuance of our 2.75% Convertible Notes which offset the reduction in May, 2020 and interest expense incurred on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”) from a decrease in the London Interbank Offered Rate (referredrelated to as “LIBOR”) during the corresponding periods.our Other long-term obligations. Income from unconsolidated affiliates relates principally to Barstool Sports and our Kansas Entertainment joint venture. The decreaseincrease for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, as compared to the prior year corresponding periods, was due to a decreaseongoing positive results in the results of operations ofat Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway, which was temporarily closed between March 18,for a period during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and May 25,income earned from our Barstool Sports investment, which we completed in February, 2020.

The effective rate for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, was lower than the prior year period, primarily driven by the reduction in the valuation allowance as a result of the recent law change whereby qualified improvement property now qualifies for accelerated bonus depreciation, which was applied on a retroactive basis.respectively. The change in the effective rate for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a reductionan increase of pre-tax income.
The CARES Act temporarily removes certain restrictions originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Corporate taxpayers are now permitted to carryback up to five years of federal NOLs originating in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020 and offset 100% of taxable income with available NOLs. The CARES Act also temporarily (i) increases the interest deductibility threshold from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020, (ii) allows a refund of alternative minimum tax credits, (iii) increases the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% and (iv) makes eligible qualified improvement property available for immediate expensing. Due to the enactment of the CARES Act, we are estimating an income tax refund between approximately $40 million and $50 million primarily attributable to the carryback of NOLs. We will continue to monitor any impact and revise our preliminary near-term liquidity benefit as a result of this new law.
As of September 30, 2020, we have a valuation allowance on the portion of the deferred tax assets that is not more likely than not to be realized as a result of the negative objective evidence of being in a three-year cumulative loss and we intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or a portion of these allowances. A reduction in the valuation allowance would result in a significant decrease to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and reversal amount in our valuation allowance are currently unknown.
Our effective income tax rate can vary from period toeach reporting period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings, changes to our valuation allowance, and the level of our tax credits. Certain of these and other factors, including our history and projections of pre-tax earnings, are considered in assessing our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Souths segment’s total revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR decreased, as compared to the prior year period, due to the temporary closures and social distancing measures described above. However, Adjusted EBITDAR margin increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period due to our cost structure savings initiatives described above.
On August 27, 2020, Hurricane Laura made landfall in Lake Charles, Louisiana and caused significant damage to L’Auberge Lake Charles, forcing it to close for 17 days. We expect to recover property damages and lost earnings for the disruption of our business through insurance proceeds in 2021, as described in Note 4, “Hurricane Laura,”in the notes to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The property is currently undergoing restorations and operating at further reduced capacity.West Segment

The majorityFor the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Midwest segment’s Adjusted EBITDAR increased $183.3 million and Adjusted EBITDAR margin increased to 46.9% primarily due to a higher proportionate share of our properties within the West segment reopened between June 4, 2020gaming activity yielding a higher overall Adjusted EBITDAR margin, and June 17, 2020. Tropicana reopened on September 17, 2020 and Zia Park Casino has not yet reopened. All our reopened properties operate with reduced gaming and hotel (if applicable) capacity and limited food and beverage offerings. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, we implemented cost saving initiatives implemented throughout the prior year designed to offset inevitablemitigate revenue degradation in 2020, such as: operating with a reduced workforce, focusing on higher margin gaming offerings, reducing marketing costs, and limiting certain lower margin food and beverage offerings.

Total revenues for the Other category increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year corresponding periods, primarily as a result of the activities at Penn Interactive. The three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include a gross-up of gaming tax reimbursement amounts derived from arrangements which allow for our third party partners to operate online casinos and online sportsbooks under our gaming licenses of $46.0 million and $85.5 million, respectively. Penn Interactive's operations continue to build with the launch of the online Barstool Sportsbook in Pennsylvania during the third quarter of 2020 and the launch of Michigan, Illinois and Indiana in 2021, and with ongoing increases in online social and real-money gaming revenue.
Adjusted EBITDAR decreased by $17.0 million and $19.4 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, 2021, respectively, as compared to the prior year corresponding periods, due to the temporary closures and social distancing measures described above.
Adjusted EBITDAR margin increased for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to the reopening of our M Resort and Cactus Petes and Horseshu properties in which Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR margins were higher than the prior year due to our cost saving initiatives described above. For nine months ended September 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDAR margin decreased as comparedincreased expenses related to the prior year periods, due to the temporary closures and social distancing measures described above.

Total revenues and Adjusted EBITDARramp up of the Other category increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year periods, principally as a result of Penn Interactive. Penn Interactive experienced (i) growth in operating live sports betting at retail sportsbooks within the Company’s properties; (ii) the launch of the Barstool Sports online sports betting app in September 2020, which currently operates in Pennsylvania;sportsbook operations and (iii) increases in online social and real-money-gaming revenue due to the temporary closures of our properties. We expect the Barstool Sports app to operate in Michigan by the end of 2020, subject to regulatory approval. In addition, we expect to use the Barstool Sports brand in the operation of certain of our retail sportsbooks by the end of 2020.
In addition to Penn Interactive, the increases in Adjusted EBITDAR are driven by decreases in corporate overhead costs of $7.4as operations returned to pre-pandemic levels. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, corporate overhead costs were $26.1 million and $13.2$50.1 million, as compared to $16.7 million and $40.9 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 respectively, which are principally due to the temporary closures of our properties and permanent reduction of our workforce, compensation reductions effective April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, and the overall reduction of our operations due to temporary property closures and restricted occupancy levels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic..
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Use and Definitions
In addition to GAAP financial measures, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR margin as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure of comparing performance among different companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, net; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; debt extinguishment and financing charges; impairment losses; insurance recoveries, andnet of deductible charges; changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent purchase price obligations; gain or loss on disposal of assets, the difference between budget and actual expense for cash-settled stock-based awards; pre-opening expenses; and acquisition costs; and other income or expenses.other. Adjusted EBITDA is inclusive of income or loss from unconsolidated affiliates, with our share of non-operating items (such as interest expense, net; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; and stock-based compensation expense) added back for Barstool Sports, Inc. ("Barstool Sports") and our Kansas Entertainment, LLC joint venture. Adjusted EBITDA is inclusive of rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases.leases (the operating lease components contained within our triple net master lease dated November 1, 2013 with Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. ("GLPI") and the triple net master lease assumed in connection with our acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (primarily land), our individual triple net leases with GLPI for the real estate assets used in the operation of Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Inc. and Meadows Racetrack and Casino, and our individual triple net leases with VICI Properties Inc. for the real estate assets used in the operations of Margaritaville Casino Resort and Greektown Casino-Hotel). Although Adjusted EBITDA includes rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our consolidated results of operations. We define Adjustedadjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA has economic substance because it is used by management as a performance measure to analyze the performance of our business, and is especially relevant in evaluating large, long-lived casino-hotel projects because it provides a perspective on the current effects of operating decisions separated from the substantial non-operational depreciation charges and financing costs of such projects. We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors and creditors as an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations, including our ability to service debt, and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their Adjusted EBITDA calculations of certain corporate expenses that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA information is presented as a supplemental disclosure, as management believes that it is a commonly-usedcommonly used measure of performance in the gaming industry and that it is considered by many to be a key indicator of the Company’s operating results.
We define Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases (which is a normal, recurring cash operating expense necessary to operate our business). Adjusted EBITDAR is presented on a consolidated basis outside the financial statements solely as a valuation metric. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric traditionally used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. This metric is included as supplemental disclosure because (i) we believe Adjusted EBITDAR is traditionally used by gaming operator analysts and investors to determine the equity value of gaming operators and (ii) Adjusted EBITDAR is one of the metrics used by other financial analysts in valuing our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDAR is useful for equity valuation purposes because (i) its calculation isolates the effects of financing real estate; and (ii) using a multiple of Adjusted EBITDAR to calculate enterprise value allows for an adjustment to the balance sheet to recognize estimated liabilities arising from operating leases related to real estate. However, Adjusted EBITDAR when presented on a consolidated basis is not a financial measure in accordance with GAAP, and should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income because it excludes the rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases and is provided for the limited purposes referenced herein.
Adjusted EBITDAR margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDAR on a consolidated basis divided by revenues on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDAR margin is presented on a consolidated basis outside the financial statements solely as a valuation metric. We further define Adjusted EBITDAR margin by reportable segment as Adjusted EBITDAR for each segment divided by segment revenues.

Operating Cash Flow
The decrease in netNet cash provided by operating activities of $298.4$504.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, compared to net cash used of $130.9 million in the prior year period, is principally due to increased gaming revenues as operations at our properties benefited from strong visitation levels, increased length of play, and higher overall Adjusted EBITDAR margins, resulting from cost saving initiatives implemented throughout 2020, such as: operating with a reduced workforce, focusing on higher margin gaming offerings, reducing marketing costs, and limiting certain lower margin food and beverage offerings. Operating cash flows in the prior year were negatively impacted by the temporary closures of all of our properties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly decreased cash receipts from customers. Offsetting this decrease was a $230.1 million decrease in cash paid for rent and interest payments, in total, under our Triple Net Leases, which is causedcustomers, offset by the fact that we utilizedutilization of rent credits to pay rent due for May 2020, June 2020, July 2020 and August 2020 underresulting from the Master Leases and the Meadows Lease (offset by the increase in payments under the Greektown Lease due to the timingsale of the acquisition).our Tropicana property.
Investing Cash Flow
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $306.2$119.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to the acquisitions of the operations of Margaritaville and Greektown for $109.1 million and $289.2 million, respectively, both net of cash acquired, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As a part of the acquisitions of Margaritaville and Greektown, the Company entered into sale-leaseback transactions with VICI in the amounts of $261.1 million and $700.0 million, respectively, which had no net impact on the determination of net cash used in investing activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. In addition, capital expenditures decreased by $39.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as2021 compared to the same period in the prior year period (see below). These decreases were partially offset bywas due to the completion of our investment in Barstool Sports made duringin February of 2020, as well as decrease in capital expenditures, partially offset by $6.2 million in cash consideration related to the first quarterHitpoint acquisition and purchases of gaming licenses and developed technology.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are accounted for as either project capital (new facilities or expansions) or maintenance (replacement) capital expenditures. Cash provided by operating activities as well as cash available under our Revolving Credit Facility is used to fund our capital expenditures for six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Capital Expenditures
In March 2020, in order to preserve liquidity given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, we temporarily suspended construction of our two planned Category 4 satellite casinos in York and Morgantown, Pennsylvania, respectively, which represented overall capital investments of approximately $120 million and $111 million inclusive of each of the gaming licenses acquired in a prior year, respectively. We expect both of these projects to be complete in the second half of 2021. Furthermore, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not expect that we will spend as much as previously budgeted for in 2020 and disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 on capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were $97.6$64.6 million and $136.7$73.7 million, respectively, of which $31.9 million and $18.2 million, respectively, pertainedrespectively. Capital expenditures related to our York and Morgantown development projects.project were $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Capital expenditures have decreased for the ninesix months ended September June 30, 2020,2021, as compared to the prior year period, due to a decrease incontinued cautionary spending in advance of and upon temporarily closing our properties, offset by an increase in spending pertaininguncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, which has carried forward to our York and Morgantown development projects. Capital expenditures for nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were principally funded by cash provided by operating activities as well as borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.the current year. We expect that as operations continue to recover, capital expenditures will continue to increase.
Financing Cash Flow
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period, net cash from financing activities increased by $1,479.4 million to2021, net cash provided by financing activities of $1,445.5totaled $18.8 million from $33.9compared to $1,155.1 million ofin net cash usedprovided in financing activities. The increase is driven primarily by the separate public offerings of Penn Common Stock on May 14,prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, and September 24, 2020, in which we receivedhad net proceeds of $331.2 million and $957.6 million, respectively. Additionally, we received $322.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes. These increases were partially offset by an increase in net repaymentsborrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities of $228.0 million.

Debt Issuances, Redemptions and Other Long-term Obligations
On March 13, 2020, we borrowed the remaining available amount of $430.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. The Company elected to draw down the remaining available funds from its Revolving Credit Facility in order to maintain maximum financial flexibility in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the use of our September 2020 equity raise proceeds, we repaid the balance of our Revolving Credit Facility in full and had $670.6 million in available borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2020.

Outlook
Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash generated from operations and cash on hand, together with amounts available under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, will be adequate to meet our anticipated obligations under our Triple Net Leases, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the foreseeable future. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations will depend on a range of economic, competitive and business factors, many of which are outside our control, including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot be certain: (i) of the impact of theany continuing operating restrictions to accommodate social distancing and health and safety guidelines will be on our properties;properties and financial results, including the cash generated from operations; (ii) of the magnitude and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (including reoccurrences) on general economic conditions, capital markets, unemployment and our liquidity, operations, supply chain and personnel,
including the potential that some or all of our properties may again be forced to close or cease operations for a certain period of time; or (iii) that the U.S. economy and our business will recover to levels that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and on what time frame.frame; (iv) that our anticipated earnings projections will be realized; (v) that we will achieve the expected synergies from our acquisitions; and (vi) that future borrowings will be available under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities or otherwise will be available in the credit markets to enable us to service our indebtedness or to make anticipated capital expenditures. We caution you that the trends seen at our reopened properties, (e.g., higher spend per trip)such as strong visitation and increased length of play, may not continue. In addition, while we anticipated that a significant amount of our future growth would come through the pursuit of opportunities within other distribution channels, such as retail and online sports betting, social gaming, retail gaming, and iGaming; from acquisitions of gaming properties at reasonable valuations; greenfield projects; and jurisdictional expansions and property expansion in under-penetrated markets; there can be no assurance that this will be the case given the uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. If we consummate significant acquisitions in the future or undertake any significant property expansions, our cash requirements may increase significantly and we may need to make additional borrowings or complete equity or debt financings to meet these requirements. See "Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors”Risk Factors" of this Form 10-Q. See also10-Q and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the
Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s subsequent Form 10-Q filings2020 for a discussion of additional risks related to the Company’s capital structure.
We have historically maintained a capital structure comprisingcomprised of a mix of equity and debt financing. We vary our leverage to pursue opportunities in the marketplace and in an effort to maximize our enterprise value for our shareholders. We expect to meet our debt obligations as they have come due through internally generatedinternally-generated funds from operations and/or refinancing them through the debt or equity markets prior to their maturity.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global economy, including the gaming industry, and has had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, and may continue to do so.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout the United States. The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has been, and continues to be, complex and rapidly evolving, with governments, public institutions, and other organizations imposing or recommending, and businesses and individuals implementing, restrictions on various activities or other actions to combat its spread, such as restrictions and bans on travel or transportation, stay-at-home directives, social distancing and health and safety guidelines, limitations on the size of gatherings, closures of work facilities, schools, public buildings, and businesses, cancellation of events, including sporting events, concerts, conferences, and meetings, and quarantines and lock-downs. The COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences have also dramatically reduced travel and demand for casino gaming and related amenities. Many jurisdictions where our properties are located required mandatory closures or imposed capacity limitations, health and safety guidelines and other restrictions affecting our operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and these resulting developments caused significant disruptions to our ability to generate revenues, profitability, and cash flows and had a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Such impact could worsen and last for an unknown period of time. In addition, these disruptions to us and the gaming industry in general as well as significant negative economic trends due to the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our stock price.
During the first quarterAs of 2020, the Company took various actions to reduce its cost structure during the property closures to help mitigate the operating and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which included: (i) furloughing the vast majority of our employees and operating with a minimum staffing of less than 850 employees company-wide during the closures; (ii) enacting meaningful compensation reductions to its remaining property and corporate leadership teams; and (iii) executing substantial reductions in operating expenses, capital expenditures, including temporarily suspending construction of its two planned Category 4 development projects in Pennsylvania. In addition, during the property closures, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to forgo their cash compensation.
Though virtuallyJune 30, 2021, all of our properties have reopened,are open, and the majority of our properties are operating at full capacity while adhering to state mandated health and safety protocols. Though all of our properties are open, we cannot predict the period of time required for the ramp-up of operations. We also may be required to again to temporarily suspend operations at our properties if ordered by such governmental bodies. Our reopened properties may again face restrictions on our operations, including hours of operations, capacity limitations, cleaning requirements, restrictions on the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection and social distancing requirements and food and beverage options, which impact our future operations and ability to generate the same level of revenues and cash flows as before thecompared to our current operation and compared to pre COVID-19 pandemic. The continuedpandemic levels. Additionally, our operation of our reopened properties, may be affected by our ability to retain our workforce still on furlough or other factors. For example, if our employees that remain on furlough do not return to work with us when the COVID-19 pandemic further subsides, including because they findhire new employment during the furlough, we may experience operational challenges that may impact our ability to resume operations in full.team members.
Moreover, once restrictions are lifted, it is unclear how quickly customers will return to our properties in numbers comparable to before the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be a function of continued concerns over health and safety, ongoing social distancing measures, or changes in consumer spending behavior due to adverse economic conditions, including job losses. Our properties have large customer-facing footprints and high levels of customer trafficlarge areas where customers can gather together for personal interaction. As such, some customers may choose for a period of time not to travel or visit our properties for health and safety concerns or due to overall changes in consumer behavior resulting from social distancing. Upon reopening our properties, we have seen weakened visitation, which may have been due to increased level of unemployment, continued travel restrictions or warnings, consumer fears, reduced consumer discretionary spending or general economic uncertainty. Our vendors and other suppliers could also experience potential adverse effects of the pandemic that could impact our ability to operate to the same level as prior to the closures.COVID-19 pandemic. Cancellations, delays or shortened sports seasons and sporting events due to the COVID-19 pandemic could also have an adverse impact on the revenues of our sports betting operations. If COVID-19 continues to spread
significantly in its current form or as a more contagious variant of the virus, governmental agencies or officials may again order additional closures or impose further restrictions on the number of people allowed in our properties or in proximity to each other. Any of these events could result in significant further disruption to our operations and a drop in demand for our properties and could have a material adverse effect on us.
We could experience other potential adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, further charges from adjustments to the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, long-lived asset impairment charges, or impairments of investments in joint ventures.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict or assess, including the duration and scope of the pandemic (and(including how long the current resurgence may last, and whether there is a resurgence orwill be multiple resurgences in the future); the duration and impact on overall customer demand; the possibility that governmental bodies may again order temporary suspension of operation at our properties; our ability to again generate revenue and profits capable of supporting our ongoing operations; new information
which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19;COVID-19 or variants of the virus, or the efficacy of, or adverse reactions to, vaccines; the negative impact it has on global and regional economies and economic activity; the ability of us and our business partners to successfully navigate the impacts of the pandemic; actions governments, businesses, and individuals continue to take in response to the pandemic, including limiting or banning travel and limiting or banning leisure, casino, and entertainment activities (including concerts, sports and similar events) activities;; and how quickly economies, travel activity, and demand for gaming, entertainment and leisure activities recovers after the pandemic subsides. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of exacerbating many of the other risks described in ourthis Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.10-K. As a result of the foregoing, we cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration, and impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our results of operations, but we expect that it will continue tocould have a material impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations (including revenues and profitability), and stock price.
