The corporate logo for Penn Entertainment, operator of 42 retail properties and the ESPN Bet online sportsbook.

Penn Entertainment has released its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, reporting revenue growth of 6.1% year-on-year to $1.77 billion.

The company’s performance was anchored by its extensive land-based operations, which include 42 retail properties and contributed $1.4 billion to the total revenue.

This segment saw stable 1% growth, with CEO and President Jay Snowden noting that properties not impacted by new local competition grew revenue by nearly 4%. He also highlighted positive trends in omnichannel engagement, with online-to-retail player count and theoretical revenue growing by 8% and 28%, respectively.

The company’s Interactive segment, which covers all iGaming and sports betting operations including ESPN Bet, remains a key focus for investors. Interactive revenue grew by an impressive 35.9% to $316.1 million.

However, the division still posted an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $62 million. While still in the red, this marked a significant 39.7% improvement compared to the same period last year, signaling progress on the path to profitability.

Monthly Average Users (MAUs) for the segment were down 13% from the previous quarter but up 4.7% year-on-year, showing a volatile but gradually stabilizing trend following the ESPN Bet launch.

In his remarks, Snowden emphasized the company’s focus on operational discipline, which contributed to another quarter of strong year-over-year flow-through.

He noted that strategic workforce adjustments, including recent redundancies at theScore, are part of a plan to drive efficiencies and support a scalable technology infrastructure.

The company is also continuing its retail expansion, with the new land-based Hollywood Casino Joliet set to open in August.

While the Interactive segment’s profitability remains under scrutiny, the combination of a stable retail foundation and improving digital metrics suggests Penn Entertainment is making calculated strides in its long-term strategy.
