PENN Entertainmentは8月17日、自社カジノの一つを取り壊し、隣接地に新たなカジノを建設するため、約1億9500万ドルを投じる計画を発表した。ブームタウン・カジノ・アンド・ホテル・ニューオーリンズのリバーボートをルイジアナ州ジェファーソン郡の陸上用地に移転し、ハリウッド・カジノ・ニューオーリンズとして再開業する。このプロジェクトはPENNにとって4件目の陸上移転であり、イリノイ州のハリウッド・カジノ・オーロラとハリウッド・カジノ・ジョリエットが2026年6月に開業済みで、アイオワ州のハリウッド・カジノ・カウンシルブラフスは2028年開業予定となっている。今回の発表は8月6日に報告された好調な第2四半期決算を受けたもので、PENNは3260万ドルの純利益に転換し、前年同期の1830万ドルの損失から回復した。連結調整後EBITDAは前年同期比5250万ドル増の3億1260万ドルとなった。同社は5月に残存する2.75%転換社債の1億670万ドルを償還し、約460万株の潜在的な希薄化株式を消却したほか、与信枠を借り換えて満期を2031年と2033年まで延長し、従来型の純レバレッジは4.5倍から2.9倍に改善した。ハリウッド・カジノ・ニューオーリンズの開業は2029年まで予定されておらず、ルイジアナ州ゲーミング管理委員会とジェファーソン郡議会の承認が依然として必要である。一方、PENNは6月30日時点で従来型債務28億ドルを抱える一方、現金8億8720万ドルを保有しており、インタラクティブ部門は当四半期に950万ドルの調整後EBITDA赤字を計上した。
