Penn Entertainment posted higher revenue in the first quarter as customers visited its casinos more frequently and spent more at each visit.
The gambling company on Thursday posted a loss of $2.3 million, or 2 cents a share, in the quarter ended March 31, compared with a profit of $111.5 million, or 68 cents a share, a year earlier.
Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted per-share earnings were 11 cents a share, ahead of the 4-cent loss anticipated by analysts, according to FactSet.
Revenue rose 6% to $1.78 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast revenue of $1.75 billion.
Penn said increased visitation and higher spend per visit drove revenue growth across all its segments.
Shares were up 1.4% to $14.97 in premarket trading.
