<\/div>\nPENN Entertainment have seen overall revenues of $1.4 billion in Q2, but the quarter hasn\u2019t been without its challenges as the company touches on the need for operational discipline.<\/p>\n
Jay Snowdon, the CEO and President, is quoted<\/a> in the latest report saying the results \u201cinclude approximately $2.9 million in severance costs, incurred as part of strategic workforce adjustments that drive efficiencies while supporting a modern, scalable technology infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n It was just in June when it was reported that the American entertainment company had laid off staff at the Toronto-based theScore. The publisher Canadian Gaming Business<\/a> understands that more than 75 employees were let go, with the layoffs reported to have roughly cut the brand\u2019s editorial newsroom in half and impacted the sales team.<\/p>\n Although the company has been going through this form of operational discipline, its interactive segment generated record gaming revenue in both online sports betting and online casino.<\/p>\n The interactive segment saw revenues of $316.1 million, but with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $62.0 million.<\/p>\n \u201cOur standalone Hollywood iCasino app is continuing to expand its reach with over 70% of its gaming revenue life-to-date (through June 30) generated by users that are newly acquired, retail native, or reactivated,\u201d Snowdon commented.<\/p>\n Big News!
