From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
These results are not directly comparable period-over-period because Texas Motor Speedway held one NASCAR Monster Energy Cup and one Xfinity Series racing event in the first quarter 2019 that were held in the second quarter 2018, and one NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series racing event in the first quarter 2019 that was held in the fourth quarter 2018.
The Company’s admissions and certain event related revenues were negatively impacted by poor weather surrounding certain NASCAR and non-NASCAR event weekends as described in the accompanying Selected Financial Data. Management continues to believe many revenue categories are negatively impacted by changing demographics, evolving media content consumption, the lingering effects of lower consumer and corporate spending, and underemployment in certain demographic groups.
Second Quarter Comparison
Year-to-Date Comparison
Non-GAAP Financial Information and ReconciliationNet income and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted and set forth below, are non-GAAP (other than generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures presented as supplemental disclosures to their individual corresponding GAAP basis amounts. The following schedule reconciles those non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable information presented using GAAP. Management believes such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful to investors and helps in understanding, using and comparing the Company’s operating results.
We have not reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking earnings per diluted share to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Such reconciliations would require unreasonable efforts to estimate and quantify various necessary GAAP components largely because, as indicated by our relatively wide range of earnings guidance, forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable. Such factors include weather conditions surrounding our events, the seasonal popularity or success of NASCAR racing in general, the impact of geopolitical factors on travel plans and spending sentiment, and fluctuating costs of food, gas, health-care and other basic necessities, any or all of which can significantly impact our future results. These components and other factors could significantly impact future directly comparable GAAP measures, which may differ significantly from their non-GAAP counterparts.
Management uses the non-GAAP information to assess the Company’s operations for the periods presented, analyze performance trends and make decisions regarding future operations because it believes this separate information better reflects ongoing operating results. This non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered independent of or a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or diluted earnings per share, determined in accordance with GAAP. Individual quarterly per share amounts may not be additive due to rounding. Amounts below are in thousands except per share amounts.

Significant 2019 Second Quarter Racing Events
2019 Earnings GuidanceThe Company reaffirmed that second quarter 2019 results are consistent with its previous full year 2019 non-GAAP earnings guidance of $0.90-$1.10 per diluted share, excluding non-recurring and other special items. The range of earnings guidance reflects the lingering effects of uncertain economic conditions, among other factors. Inclement weather, potential higher fuel, health-care and food costs and continuing underemployment could significantly impact our future results.
Dividends and Stock Repurchase ProgramDuring the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.15 per share of common stock each quarter for a combined aggregate of approximately $12.3 million. On July 23, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock, aggregating approximately $6.1 million, payable on September 6, 2019 to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2019. The Board of Directors plans to continue to evaluate cash dividends on a quarterly basis in the future.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 79,000 shares of common stock for approximately $1.3 million under its stock repurchase program. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has repurchased 5,134,000 shares since adoption of the program in April 2005. The Company’s stock repurchase program was suspended on April 24, 2019.

Bruton Smith and his family (“Sonic Financial”), and a wholly owned acquisition subsidiary of Sonic Financial, entered into a definitive merger agreement for Sonic Financial to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Company common stock for cash consideration of $19.75 per share.

Comments“Our year-over-year second quarter 2019 results reflect holding Texas Motor Speedway’s spring NASCAR race weekend in this year’s first quarter and last year’s second quarter,” stated Speedway Motorsports Chief Executive Officer and President, Marcus G. Smith. “These second quarter and year-to-date results for 2019 were within our expectations. We are encouraged by higher television ratings and viewership for the first half of the racing season, and NASCAR’s improvements to on-track racing competition and excitement. And importantly, all of our NASCAR Monster Energy Cup, Xfinity and Gander Outdoors Truck Series event entitlements for 2019, and many for several years beyond this year, are sold. Also, various revenue streams, such as track rentals, NASCAR ancillary broadcasting rights and event merchandising, are showing positive trends and increases.”
Mr. Smith continued, “We continue to expand our fan-zone entertainment and social gathering areas, and are installing drink rails with increased legroom in many select seating areas. Our fans are enjoying easier access to their seats, more room to enjoy food and beverages, and increased comfort while viewing our events. Speedway Motorsports is extremely proud of its long history of providing exciting, top-quality fan-friendly entertainment that cannot be duplicated at home or other venues. We, along with NASCAR and our broadcaster partners, are focused more than ever on capturing new fans and expanding markets.”
O. Bruton Smith, Executive Chairman of Speedway Motorsports stated, “NASCAR’s ongoing efforts to improve our sport have increased racing competition and excitement for our fans, including significant increases in green flag passing and dramatic finishes. The pace of positive changes for Speedway Motorsports and our sport continues to increase. I am proud of our management teams’ execution of Speedway Motorsports’ long-term strategic initiatives of debt reduction, targeted capital spending, dividends and share repurchases. Our strong management teams well know the importance of providing innovative entertainment and unsurpassed value. We are more focused than ever on using our first-class facilities and premium markets for new motorsports and non-motorsports activities.”
