Total revenues rose to $1.67 billion from $1.61 billion, with the Interactive segment providing the clearest momentum, generating $290.10 million in revenue and narrowing its Adjusted EBITDA loss sharply to $89.00 million from $196.00 million. Severe winter weather in January and February weighed on retail casino results by at least $10.00 million in Adjusted EBITDAR, though volumes rebounded in March and held steady into early May. ESPN BET, which faces pressure to scale market share well beyond its current 3% toward a contractual target, is being positioned for improvement through planned product enhancements and expanded iCasino app markets, with management reaffirming at least $350.00 million in share repurchases for 2025.
Key Takeaways

With YoY comparisons, source: SEC Filings
“PENN's properties demonstrated strong resilience in the quarter following severe weather challenges earlier in the year, as gaming volumes rebounded in March and remained consistent through April and early May. In our Interactive segment we generated record gaming revenue and significant year-over-year improvements in both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA despite industry-wide unfavorable sports betting hold. Our corporate overhead costs were higher by approximately $8 million in the quarter due to legal and advisory expenses. Through May 7, 2025 we have repurchased $35 million of shares and remain committed to our previously stated goal to repurchase at least $350 million of shares this year.”
