NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

References in this document to “we,” “us” and “our” mean Dover Motorsports, Inc. and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries, as appropriate.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and accordingly do not include all of the information and disclosures required for audited financial statements.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2019 .  In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 due to the seasonal nature of our business.

 

NOTE 2 — Business Operations

 

Dover Motorsports, Inc. is a public holding company that is a leading marketer and promoter of motorsports entertainment in the United States.  Through our subsidiaries, we own and operate Dover International Speedway ®  in Dover, Delaware and Nashville Superspeedway ®  near Nashville, Tennessee.  In 2019, we celebrate our 50 th  anniversary of racing and our Dover facility is scheduled to promote the following six events during 2019, all of which will be under the auspices of the premier sanctioning body in motorsports - the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”):

 

·                   2 NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series events (May and October);

·                   2 NASCAR Xfinity Series events (May and October);

·                   1 NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series event (May); and

·                   1 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East event (October).

 

We have hosted the Firefly Music Festival (“Firefly”) on our property in Dover, Delaware for seven consecutive years and it is scheduled to return on June 21-23, 2019.  The inaugural three day festival with 40 musical acts was held in July 2012 and the 2018 event was held on June 14-17, 2018 with approximately 120 musical acts.  In September 2014, Red Frog Events LLC formed RFGV Festivals LLC - a joint venture with Goldenvoice that promotes Firefly.  Goldenvoice is a company of AEG Presents, LLC, a subsidiary of Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc.  AEG Presents, one of the world’s largest presenters of live music and entertainment events, announced on July 18, 2018 that it had acquired the remainder of RFGV Festivals LLC from Red Frog.  Our amended agreement with RFGV Festivals grants them two 5 year options to extend our facility rental agreement through 2032 in exchange for a rental commitment to secure our property.  In addition to the facility rental fee, we also receive a percentage of the concession sales we manage at the events.

 

Nashville Superspeedway no longer promotes motorsports events and has not entered into sanction agreements with NASCAR since 2011.  We lease the facility on a short term basis to third parties from time to time.    On August 17, 2017, we entered into an agreement with an entity owned by Panattoni Development Company relative to the sale of approximately 147 acres of land at a purchase price of $35,000 per acre.  On March 2, 2018, we closed on the sale of the property with proceeds, less closing costs, of $4,945,000.  Net proceeds after taxes were approximately $4,150,000.  On September 1, 2017, we also awarded to the purchaser a three year option for 88.03 additional acres at a purchase price of $55,000 per acre.  On February 9, 2018, we amended the option agreement to extend its term and to add additional acreage to the option.  The option is for three years beginning March 1, 2018.  An additional 86.45 acres were added to the option at a purchase price of $66,685 per acre and an additional 50.51 acres were

 

5


 

added at a purchase price of $35,000 per acre.  The option may only be exercised for all of the 224.99 acres at one time for a total purchase price of $12,374,000.  While management remains committed to selling the remaining Nashville Superspeedway property which consists of over 1,000 acres, we do not believe it is probable that the remaining property will be sold within the next twelve months.  At December 31, 2018, $23,567,000 was reported as long term assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

On February 28, 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell 7.63 acres of land at our Nashville facility for proceeds, less closing costs, of $267,000.  The sale closed in the first quarter of 2019 and resulted in a gain of $139,000, which we have reported as gain on sale of land in our consolidated statements of operations.  At March 31, 2019, $23,505,000 was reported as long term assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

During September 2018, we entered into negotiations to sell a parcel of land we owned near St. Louis.  The sale closed in the first quarter of 2019 with proceeds, less closing costs, of $531,000.  At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the land was reported as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

NOTE 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Property and equipment— Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life.  Accumulated depreciation was $63,806,000 and $63,042,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition— We classify our revenues as admissions, event-related, broadcasting and other.  “Admissions” revenue includes ticket sales for our events.  “Event-related” revenue includes amounts received from sponsorship fees; luxury suite rentals; hospitality tent rentals and catering; concessions and vendor commissions for the right to sell concessions and souvenirs at our events; sales of programs; track rentals; broadcasting rights other than domestic television broadcasting revenue, and other event-related revenues.  Additionally, event related revenue includes amounts received for the use of our property and a portion of the concession sales we manage from the Firefly Music Festival.  “Broadcasting” revenue includes rights fees obtained for domestic television broadcasts of events held at our speedway.

 

All of our revenues are based on contracts with customers and, with the exception of certain track rentals, relate to two NASCAR event weekends and the Firefly Music Festival held at our Dover facility.  Our contracts are typically for specific events or a racing season.  We have several multi-year sponsorship contracts for our racing events and our contract with the promoter of the Firefly Music Festival is multi-year.  Revenues pertaining to specific events are deferred and recorded as contract liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets until the event is held.  As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, contract liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets relate to 2019 events.  Concession and souvenir revenues are recorded at the time of sale.  Revenues and related expenses from barter transactions in which we provide sponsorship packages in exchange for goods or services are recorded at fair value.  There was no revenue recorded from barter transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

 

The following table summarizes the liability activity related to contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

We have contracted future revenues representing unsatisfied performance obligations.  These contracts contain initial terms typically ranging from one to three years, with some for longer periods, excluding renewal options.  We have excluded unsatisfied performance obligations for future NASCAR broadcasting revenue with contract terms

 

6


 

through 2024. We anticipate recognizing unsatisfied performance obligations for the calendar year ending 2020 and beyond of approximately $3,024,000 at March 31, 2019.

 

Under the terms of our sanction agreements with NASCAR, we receive a portion of the broadcast revenue NASCAR negotiates with various television networks.  NASCAR typically remits payment to us for the broadcast revenue within 30 days of the event being held.  NASCAR retains 10% of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR-sanctioned event as a component of its sanction fee.  The remaining 90% is recorded as revenue.  The event promoter is required to pay 25% of the gross broadcast rights fees to the event as part of the awards to the competitors, which we record as operating expenses.

 

Expense recognition— The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred.  Advertising expenses were $64,000 and $136,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies and sanction fees paid to NASCAR, and other expenses associated with our racing events are deferred until the event is held, at which point they are expensed.

 

Net loss per common share— Nonvested share-based payment awards that include rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities, and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted net loss per common share (“EPS”) is applied for all periods presented.  The following table sets forth the computation of EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts):

There were no options outstanding and we paid no dividends during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

 

Accounting for stock-based compensation— We recorded total stock-based compensation expense for our restricted stock awards of $108,000 and $105,000 as general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  We recorded income tax benefits of $19,000 and $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to vesting of our restricted stock awards.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements — In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General . This new standard makes changes to the disclosure requirements for sponsors of defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans to improve effectiveness of notes to the financial statements.  ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and requires retrospective adoption.  Early adoption is permitted.  We are currently analyzing the impact of this ASU and we do not expect it to have a significant impact on our financial statement disclosures.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which provides the option to reclassify certain income tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in December of 2017 between accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings and also requires additional disclosures.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2019 and elected not to make this optional reclassification.

 

7


 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires that lessees recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months in the statement of financial position and also requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years.  The ASU requires a transition adoption election using either 1) a modified retrospective approach with periods prior to the adoption date being recast or 2) a prospective adoption approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date with prior periods not recast.  We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the prospective adoption approach.  Adoption of this ASU had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 — Long-Term Debt

 

At March 31, 2019, Dover Motorsports, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Dover International Speedway, Inc. and Nashville Speedway, USA, Inc., as co-borrowers had a $35,000,000 credit agreement with a bank group.  The credit facility expires on July 31, 2020.  Interest is based upon LIBOR plus a margin that varies between 125 and 175 basis points depending on the leverage ratio.  At March 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.  The credit facility contains certain covenants including maximum funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“leverage ratio”) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.  Material adverse changes in our results of operations could impact our ability to maintain financial ratios necessary to satisfy these requirements.  In addition, the credit agreement includes a material adverse change clause.  The credit facility also provides that if we default under any other loan agreement, that would be a default under this facility.  At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.  The credit facility provides for seasonal funding needs, capital improvements, letter of credit requirements and other general corporate purposes.  After consideration of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, the remaining maximum borrowings available pursuant to the credit facility were $20,358,000 at March 31, 2019.  We expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and all other covenants, for all measurement periods during the next twelve months.

 

NOTE 5 — Pension Plans

 

We maintain a non-contributory tax qualified defined benefit pension plan that has been frozen since July 2011.  All of our full time employees were eligible to participate in the qualified plan.  Benefits provided by our qualified pension plan were based on years of service and employees’ remuneration over their employment period.  Compensation earned by employees up to July 31, 2011 is used for purposes of calculating benefits under our pension plan with no future benefit accruals after this date.  We also maintain a non-qualified, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan, the excess plan, for certain employees that has been frozen since July 2011.  This excess plan provided benefits that would otherwise be provided under the qualified pension plan but for maximum benefit and compensation limits applicable under federal tax law.  The cost associated with the excess plan is determined using similar actuarial methods and assumptions as those used for our qualified pension plan.  The assets for the excess plan aggregate $1,086,000 and $995,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and are recorded in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets (see NOTE 7 — Fair Value Measurements).

 

The components of net periodic pension benefit for our defined benefit pension plans are as follows:

While we have no minimum required pension contributions for 2019, we will consider making contributions during the remainder of the year.  We contributed $500,000 to our defined benefit pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

We also maintain a non-elective, non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) which provides deferred compensation to certain highly compensated employees that approximates the value of benefits lost by the freezing of the pension plan which are not offset by our enhanced matching contributions in our 401(k)  plan.  The SERP is a discretionary defined contribution plan and contributions made to the SERP in any given year are not guaranteed and will be at the sole discretion of our Compensation and Stock Incentive Committee.  In the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded expenses of $27,000 and $25,000, respectively, related to the SERP.  During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we contributed $108,000 and $85,000 to the plan, respectively.  The liability for SERP pension benefits was $27,000 and $108,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

We maintain a defined contribution 401(k) plan that permits participation by substantially all employees.  Our matching contributions to the 401(k) plan were $32,000 and $36,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On July 28, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock.  The purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as conditions warrant.  The repurchase authorization has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time.  During the first three months of 2019, we purchased 50,220 and retired 48,920 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $2.02 per share, not including nominal brokerage commissions.  During the first three months of 2018, we purchased and retired 92,479 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $2.06 per share, not including nominal brokerage commissions.  At March 31, 2019, we had remaining repurchase authority of 650,429 shares.

 

We have a stock incentive plan, adopted in 2014, which provides for the grant of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers and key employees through stock options and/or awards valued in whole or in part by reference to our common stock, such as nonvested restricted stock awards.  Under the plan, nonvested restricted stock vests an aggregate of twenty percent each year beginning on the second anniversary date of the grant.  The aggregate market value of the nonvested restricted stock at the date of issuance is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the six-year period.  We granted 143,000 and 151,000 stock awards under this plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.  As of March 31, 2019, there were 1,327,473 shares available for granting options or stock awards.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we purchased and retired 48,457 and 47,236 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $1.99 and $2.00 per share, respectively.  These purchases were made from employees in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under our Stock Incentive Plan and were not pursuant to the aforementioned repurchase authorization.  Since the vesting of a restricted stock award is a taxable event to our employees for which income tax withholding is required, the plan allows employees to surrender to us some of the shares that would otherwise have transferred to the employee in satisfaction of their tax liability.  The surrender of these shares is treated by us as a purchase of the shares.

 

NOTE 7 — Fair Value Measurements

 

Our financial instruments are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

NOTE 8 — Related Party Transactions

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (“Gaming”), a company previously related through common ownership, allocated costs of $430,000 and $422,000, respectively, to us for certain administrative and operating services, including leased space.  We allocated certain administrative and operating service costs of $110,000 and $106,000, respectively, to Gaming for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.  The allocations were based on an analysis of each company’s share of the costs.  In connection with our 2019 spring NASCAR event weekend at Dover International Speedway, we invoiced Gaming $15,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 for tickets to the NASCAR event.  As of December 31, 2018, our consolidated balance sheets included $9,000 of payables to Gaming for the aforementioned items.  We settled this item in January of 2019.  Effective March 28, 2019, Gaming became part of Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. as a result of a merger and therefore was no longer related through common ownership.  As of March 31, 2019, we were owed $11,000 for the aforementioned items which are included in accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets.  The net costs incurred by each company for these services are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the companies had been unrelated entities and/or had otherwise independently managed these functions; however, management believes that these costs are reasonable.

 

Prior to the spin-off of Gaming from our company in 2002, both companies shared certain real property in Dover, Delaware.  At the time of the spin-off, some of this real property was transferred to Gaming to ensure that the real property holdings of each company was aligned with its past uses and future business needs.  During its harness racing season, Gaming has historically used the 5/8-mile harness racing track that is located on our property and is on the inside of our one-mile motorsports superspeedway.  In order to continue this historic use, we granted a perpetual easement to the harness track to Gaming at the time of the spin-off.  This perpetual easement allows Gaming to have exclusive use of the harness track during the period beginning November 1 of each year and ending April 30 of the following year, together with set up and tear down rights for the two weeks before and after such period.  The easement requires that Gaming maintain the harness track but does not require the payment of any rent.

 

Various easements and agreements relative to access, utilities and parking have also been entered into between us and Gaming relative to our respective Dover, Delaware facilities.  We pay rent to Gaming for the lease of our principal executive office space.  Gaming also allows us to use its indoor grandstands in connection with our two annual motorsports weekends.  This occasional grandstand use is not material to us and Gaming does not assess rent for it; Gaming may also discontinue our use at its discretion.

Henry B. Tippie, Chairman of our Board of Directors, controls in excess of fifty percent of our voting power.  Mr. Tippie’s voting control emanates from his direct and indirect holdings of common stock and Class A common stock and from his status as a trustee of the RMT Trust, our largest stockholder.  This means that Mr. Tippie has the ability to determine the outcome of the election of directors and to determine the outcome of many significant corporate transactions, many of which only require the approval of a majority of our voting power.

 

NOTE 9 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

In September 1999, the Sports Authority of the County of Wilson (Tennessee) issued $25,900,000 in Variable Rate Tax Exempt Infrastructure Revenue Bonds, Series 1999, to acquire, construct and develop certain public infrastructure improvements which benefit Nashville Superspeedway, of which $14,400,000 was outstanding at March 31, 2019.  Annual principal payments range from $1,000,000 in September 2019 to $1,600,000 in 2029 and are payable solely from sales taxes and incremental property taxes generated from the facility.  These bonds are direct obligations of the Sports Authority and therefore have historically not been required to be recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.  If the sales taxes and incremental property taxes (“applicable taxes”) are insufficient for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds, we would become responsible for the difference.  In the event we were unable to make the payments, they would be made pursuant to a $14,642,000 irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by our bank group.  We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates for these bonds.

 

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $954,000 and $1,052,000, respectively, was available in the sales and incremental property tax fund maintained by the Sports Authority to pay the remaining principal and interest due under the bonds.  During 2018, we paid $984,000 into the sales and incremental property tax fund and $1,411,000 was deducted from the fund for debt service.  If we fail to maintain the letter of credit that secures the bonds or we allow an uncured event of default to exist under our reimbursement agreement relative to the letter of credit, the bonds would be immediately redeemable.

 

Nashville Superspeedway no longer promotes motorsports events and has not entered into sanction agreements with NASCAR since 2011.  We lease the facility on a short term basis to third parties from time to time.  In 2011 we recorded a $2,250,000 provision for contingent obligation reflecting the present value of the estimated portion of the revenue bonds debt service that may not be covered by the projected sales and incremental property taxes from the facility.  Due to changing interest rates, the provision for contingent obligation increased by $111,000 and $67,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is $2,495,000 at March 31, 2019.  An increase in the bonds’ interest rates would result in an increase in the portion of debt service not covered by applicable taxes and therefore an increase in our liability.

 

We are also a party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.  Management does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Item 2.                                  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion is based upon and should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this document.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

 

We promoted no events during the first quarter of 2019 or 2018; therefore, revenues were minimal.

 

Operating and marketing expenses were $1,055,000 in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $1,151,000 in the first quarter of 2018.  The decrease was primarily due to the timing of advertising expenses.

 

12


 

General and administrative expenses decreased slightly to $1,916,000 in the first quarter of 2019 from $1,955,000 in the first quarter of 2018.

 

Depreciation expense decreased to $793,000 in the first quarter of 2019 from $878,000 in the first quarter of 2018.

 

Gain on sale of land in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 relates to the sales of approximately 8 and 147 acres of land at our Nashville facility, respectively.

 

Net interest expense decreased to $6,000 in the first quarter of 2019 from $40,000 in the first quarter of 2018 due to lower average outstanding borrowings and interest income on invested cash in 2019.

 

Our effective income tax rates for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 were 28.5% and 26.5%, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our operations and cash flows from operating activities are seasonal in nature.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,625,000 for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $1,424,000 for the first quarter of 2018.  The higher net cash used in the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a large corporate event sponsor not returning for the 2019 race season which resulted in lower receipts, and the timing of payments to vendors.  These items were partially offset by lower pension contributions in the first quarter of 2019.  We made a $500,000 contribution to our defined benefit pension plan in the first quarter of 2018.  We made no pension contributions during the first quarter of 2019.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $426,000 for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $4,804,000 for the first quarter of 2018.  Capital expenditures of $398,000 in the first quarter of 2019 related primarily to engineering costs associated with replacing our Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series garage and improvements to our skybox suites at our Dover facility.  Capital expenditures of $139,000 in the first quarter of 2018 related primarily to equipment purchases.  In January 2019, we closed on the sale of a parcel of land we owned near St. Louis for proceeds of $531,000, net of closing costs.  In March 2019, we closed on the sale of approximately 8 acres of land at our Nashville Superspeedway facility for proceeds of $267,000, net of closing costs.  Additionally, we sold equipment in the first quarter of 2019 for proceeds of $29,000.  In March 2018, we closed on the sale of approximately 147 acres of land at our Nashville Superspeedway facility for proceeds of $4,945,000, net of closing costs.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $200,000 for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $3,029,000 for the first quarter of 2018.  We had net repayments on our outstanding line of credit of $2,740,000 in the first quarter of 2018.  During the first three months of 2019 and 2018, we purchased 50,220 and 92,479 shares of our outstanding common stock for $104,000 and $195,000 from the open market, respectively.  Additionally, we purchased 48,457 and 47,236 shares of our outstanding common stock for $96,000 and $94,000 during the first three months of 2019 and 2018, respectively, from employees in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under our stock incentive plan.

 

At March 31, 2019, Dover Motorsports, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Dover International Speedway, Inc. and Nashville Speedway, USA, Inc., as co-borrowers had a $35,000,000 credit agreement with a bank group.  The credit facility expires on July 31, 2020.  Interest is based upon LIBOR plus a margin that varies between 125 and 175 basis points depending on the leverage ratio.  At March 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.  The credit facility contains certain covenants including maximum funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“leverage ratio”) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.  Material adverse changes in our results of operations could impact our ability to maintain financial ratios necessary to satisfy these requirements.  In addition, the credit agreement includes a material adverse change clause.  The credit facility also provides that if we default under any other loan agreement, that would be a default under this facility.  At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.  The credit facility provides for seasonal funding needs, capital improvements, letter of credit requirements and other general corporate purposes.  After consideration of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, the remaining maximum borrowings available pursuant to the credit facility were

 

13


 

$20,358,000 at March 31, 2019.  We expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and all other covenants, for all measurement periods during the next twelve months.

 

Nashville Superspeedway no longer promotes motorsports events and has not entered into sanction agreements with NASCAR since 2011.  We lease the facility on a short term basis to third parties from time to time.    On August 17, 2017, we entered into an agreement with an entity owned by Panattoni Development Company relative to the sale of approximately 147 acres of land at a purchase price of $35,000 per acre.  On March 2, 2018, we closed on the sale of the property with proceeds, less closing costs, of $4,945,000.  Net proceeds after taxes were approximately $4,150,000.  On September 1, 2017, we also awarded to the purchaser a three year option for 88.03 additional acres at a purchase price of $55,000 per acre.  On February 9, 2018, we amended the option agreement to extend its term and to add additional acreage to the option.  The option is for three years beginning March 1, 2018.  An additional 86.45 acres were added to the option at a purchase price of $66,685 per acre and an additional 50.51 acres were added at a purchase price of $35,000 per acre.  The option may only be exercised for all of the 224.99 acres at one time for a total purchase price of $12,374,000.  While management remains committed to selling the remaining Nashville Superspeedway property which consists of over 1,000 acres, we do not believe it is probable that the remaining property will be sold within the next twelve months.  At December 31, 2018, $23,567,000 was reported as long term assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

On February 28, 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell 7.63 acres of land at our Nashville facility for proceeds, less closing costs, of $267,000.  The sale closed in the first quarter of 2019 and resulted in a gain of $139,000, which we have reported as gain on sale of land in our consolidated statements of operations.  At March 31, 2019, $23,505,000 was reported as long term assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

During September 2018, we entered into negotiations to sell a parcel of land we owned near St. Louis.  The sale closed in the first quarter of 2019 with proceeds, less closing costs, of $531,000.  At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the land was reported as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

We promoted six racing events in 2018 (five national series events and one regional series event), all of which were sanctioned by NASCAR and held at our Dover International Speedway facility.  We have entered into five year sanction agreements with NASCAR for each of the five national series events for 2016-2020.  NASCAR’s regional series events are sanctioned on an annual basis.

 

Broadcasting revenues continue to be a significant long-term revenue source for our business.  Management believes this long-term contracted revenue helps stabilize our financial strength, earnings and cash flows. Also, NASCAR ratings can impact attendance at our events and sponsorship opportunities. A substantial portion of our profits in recent years has resulted from television revenues received from NASCAR under its agreements with various television networks, which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.  Our share of these television broadcast revenues and purse and sanction fees are fixed under our NASCAR sanction agreements through the year 2020.  We are obligated to conduct events in the manner stipulated under the terms and conditions of these sanctioning agreements.

 

NASCAR is operating under a ten-year, multi-platform agreement with FOX Sports Media Group (“FOX”) for the broadcasting and digital rights to 16 NASCAR Cup Series races, 14 Xfinity Series races and the entire Gander Outdoors Truck Series (along with practice and qualifying) from 2015 through 2024. The agreement includes “TV Everywhere” rights that allow live-streaming of all FOX races, before and after race coverage, in-progress and finished race highlights, and replays of FOX-televised races to a Fox Sports-affiliated website which began in 2013. The agreement also allows re-telecast of races on a FOX network and via video-on-demand for 24 hours and other ancillary programming, including a nightly NASCAR news and information show and weekend at-track shows. NASCAR and FOX Deportes, the number one US Latino sports network, have teamed up to provide our sport’s most expansive Spanish-language broadcast offering ever with coverage of 15 NASCAR Cup Series races which started in 2013.

 

NASCAR also operates under a ten-year comprehensive agreement with NBC Sports Group granting NBCUniversal (“NBC”) exclusive rights to 20 NASCAR Cup Series races, 19 NASCAR Xfinity Series events, select NASCAR Regional & Touring Series events and other live content which began in 2015.  Further, NBC has

 

14


 

been granted Spanish-language rights, certain video-on-demand rights and exclusive ‘TV Everywhere’ rights for its NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series events.

 

Looking forward, our sanction agreements with NASCAR contain annual increases of between 3 and 4 percent in media rights fees for each sanctioned event conducted, and provide a specific percentage of media rights fees to be paid to competitors. The sanction agreements also provide for annual increases in sanction fees and non-media rights related prize and point fund monies (to be paid to competitors) of between 4 and 4.5 percent annually over the term of the agreements.

 

We have hosted the Firefly Music Festival (“Firefly”) on our property in Dover, Delaware for seven consecutive years and it is scheduled to return on June 21-23, 2019.  The inaugural three day festival with 40 musical acts was held in July 2012 and the 2018 event was held on June 14-17, 2018 with approximately 120 musical acts.  In September 2014, Red Frog Events LLC formed RFGV Festivals LLC - a joint venture with Goldenvoice that promotes Firefly.  Goldenvoice is a company of AEG Presents, LLC, a subsidiary of Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc.  AEG Presents, one of the world’s largest presenters of live music and entertainment events, announced on July 18, 2018 that it had acquired the remainder of RFGV Festivals LLC from Red Frog.  Our amended agreement with RFGV Festivals grants them two 5 year options to extend our facility rental agreement through 2032 in exchange for a rental commitment to secure our property.  In addition to the facility rental fee, we also receive a percentage of the concession sales we manage at the events.

 

We expect that our net cash flows from operating activities and funds available from our credit facility will be sufficient to provide for our working capital needs, capital spending requirements, stock repurchases, as well as any cash dividends our Board of Directors may declare at least through the next twelve months and also provide for our long-term liquidity.  Based on current business conditions, we expect to spend approximately $4,600,000 - $5,600,000 on capital expenditures during the remainder of 2019.  While we have no minimum required pension contributions for 2019, we will consider making contributions during the remainder of 2019.

(a) In September 1999, the Sports Authority of the County of Wilson (Tennessee) issued $25,900,000 in Variable Rate Tax Exempt Infrastructure Revenue Bonds, Series 1999, to acquire, construct and develop certain public infrastructure improvements which benefit Nashville Superspeedway, of which $14,400,000 was outstanding at March 31, 2019.  Annual principal payments range from $1,000,000 in September 2019 to $1,600,000 in 2029 and are payable solely from sales taxes and incremental property taxes generated from the facility.  These bonds are direct obligations of the Sports Authority and therefore have historically not been required to be recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.  If the sales taxes and incremental property taxes (“applicable taxes”) are insufficient for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds, we would become responsible for the difference.  In the event we were unable to make the payments, they would be made pursuant to a $14,642,000 irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by our bank group.  We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates for these bonds.

 

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $954,000 and $1,052,000, respectively, was available in the sales and incremental property tax fund maintained by the Sports Authority to pay the remaining principal and interest due under the bonds.  During 2018, we paid $984,000 into the sales and incremental property tax fund and $1,411,000 was deducted from the fund for debt service.  If we fail to maintain the letter of credit that secures the bonds or we allow an uncured event of default to exist under our reimbursement agreement relative to the letter of credit, the bonds would be immediately redeemable.

Nashville Superspeedway no longer promotes motorsports events and has not entered into sanction agreements with NASCAR since 2011.  We lease the facility on a short term basis to third parties from time to time.  In 2011 we recorded a $2,250,000 provision for contingent obligation reflecting the present value of the estimated portion of the revenue bonds debt service that may not be covered by the projected sales and incremental property taxes from the facility.  Due to changing interest rates, the provision for contingent obligation increased by $111,000 and $67,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is $2,495,000 at March 31, 2019.  See NOTE 9 — Commitments and Contingencies of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document for further discussion.
