About this update from Bally's Corporation

PROVIDENCE, R.I., November 10, 2025 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Bally’s Corporation (NYSE: BALY) ("Bally’s" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Third Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights Summary of Financial Results Bally’s completed the merger with The Queen Casino & Entertainment ("Queen") on February 7, 2025. Total revenue for the post-merger three months ended September 30, 2025 of $663.7 million increased 5.4%, or $33.7 million, from $630.0 million in the pre-merger three months ended September 30, 2024. Robeson Reeves, Bally’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our solid third quarter results and recent strategic initiatives highlight further marked progress across multiple fronts on our transformation to the new Bally’s 2.0. We announced in October that Intralot S.A. (ATSE: INLOT) ("Intralot") completed its acquisition of Bally’s International Interactive business for €2.7 billion, comprised of €1.530 billion cash paid to Bally’s and 873.7 million new Intralot shares issued to Bally’s. Following the closing, Bally’s became the majority shareholder of Intralot with a 58% ownership interest. Importantly, we allocated a portion of the cash proceeds from the transaction to pay down approximately $1.3 billion of secured debt and outstanding revolver balances. "The combination of Bally’s International Interactive and Intralot created a global iGaming and lottery champion with enhanced scale, diversification, and a highly complementary product offering across B2G, B2B and B2C channels. Intralot is now one of the largest listed companies on the Athens Stock Exchange, and the combined entity is expected to generate approximately €1.1 billion in annual revenue. With industry-leading EBITDA margins in excess of 39%, driven by operational synergies, cross-market opportunities, and continued data-driven innovation, Intralot is superbly positioned to unlock significant cross-selling opportunities and drive growth and long-term value creation. "Following the closing of the Intralot transaction, in October, we implemented cost-savings programs focused on driving efficiencies and improved profitability across the enterprise. This reorganization initiative primarily focused on optimizing Corporate and Casinos & Resorts overhead and expenses and we anticipate more than $15 million in annual savings beginning in the current quarter. "Domestically, construction remains in full swing at our permanent gaming and entertainment destination resort in Chicago. The resort – the only casino within Chicago’s city limits, will feature approximately 3,400 slots, over 170 table games, a 500-room hotel tower, a 3,000-seat theater, various food and beverage venues and a river-side public park. We are proud to be working with Bally’s partners at Gaming and Leisure Properties (Nasdaq: GLPI), to benefit from GLPI’s decades of casino construction and development expertise and to bring the project to completion. In October, we received the first funding from GLPI under the Chicago Development Agreement of $125.4 million. "In September, the Bally’s Bronx Community Advisory Committee approved our application for Bally’s proposed $4.0 billion casino, a 16-acre integrated resort with approximately 3,500 slot machines and 250 table games, a 500-room hotel and a 2,000-person event center. This proposal represents the largest private investment in the borough’s history, with the potential to generate meaningful economic benefits and significant job creation in the community. Bally’s is now one of three remaining applicants for up to three downstate New York state gaming licenses with a decision anticipated by year’s end. We are both excited for, and committed to, the opportunity to serve the Bronx community. "Last month, we announced plans to develop Bally’s Las Vegas on the former Tropicana site, sharing a 35-acre campus with the Las Vegas Athletics. This once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine the heart of the Strip will create a landmark experience that only Las Vegas can deliver, featuring a mix of sports, casino, dining, and immersive entertainment with direct access to the ballpark. "In summary, with Bally’s 2.0, and now Intralot, we have created a scaled, global omni-channel provider of retail and online experiences by expanding globally as a gaming, lottery and entertainment operator. We continue to demonstrate strategic and prudent use of our capital resources to drive growth and returns for our stakeholders. Combined with our operational expertise and long-term vision, we are eagerly and aggressively pursuing the many growth opportunities before us." Third Quarter Financial Review Third quarter 2025 Casinos & Resorts revenue of $396.1 million rose 12.1% year over year, primarily reflecting the addition of four regional gaming properties from Queen earlier in 2025. Casinos & Resorts Segment Adjusted EBITDAR grew 7.4% year over year to $107.9 million reflecting the revenue increase in third quarter 2025, partially offset by the allocation of approximately $4.0 million of additional shared services costs from Corporate to Casinos & Resorts to better align with our business structure (year to date, approximately $12.0 million additional shared services costs were allocated from Corporate to Casinos & Resorts). While several of our properties continue to experience the impact of new market entrants in the last twelve months (in particular, Shreveport, Evansville and Dover), Bally’s casinos that operate in a stable competitive environment outpaced market revenue growth in the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDAR results were particularly strong at our properties in Vicksburg, Kansas City, and the Queen Baton Rouge, where the 2023 landside relocation continues to drive market share gains and Adjusted EBITDAR. We are excited to complete the landside conversion of Bally’s Baton Rouge (former Belle of Baton Rouge) in the fourth quarter and expect material improvement at that property in 2026. Third quarter 2025 International Interactive revenue demonstrated continued strength in our U.K. operations. U.K. online revenue rose 8.0% (4.2% in constant currency) versus the third quarter of 2024, driven by continued strong player monetization and additional revenue driving initiatives, such as the launch of a sports betting offering. Overall, International Interactive revenue declined 6.9%, reflecting last year’s divestiture of the Asia interactive business. Excluding the revenue associated with the divested Asia interactive business in the third quarter of 2024, third quarter 2025 International Interactive revenue grew 11.7% year-over-year. International Interactive Segment Adjusted EBITDAR of $91.9 million was up slightly from $90.0 million in the prior year. In October, our UK operations continued their growth momentum, fueled by strong player acquisition and retention as well as robust results in online sports betting. Revenue for our North America Interactive segment of $49.9 million rose 13.1% year over year reflecting growth in Rhode Island as the market continues to ramp up, strong performance in online sports betting and the contribution of the interactive portion of Queen. North America Interactive Segment Adjusted EBITDAR was a loss of $6.0 million in the third quarter compared to a loss of $6.0 million in the prior year period, with top line growth offset by higher marketing investment and an increase in certain other expenses. Through a combination of new leadership, revenue optimization initiatives and strategic cost management, we expect Adjusted EBITDAR for this segment to improve meaningfully in the coming quarters. Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures To supplement the financial information presented on a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis, Bally’s has included in this earnings release non-GAAP financial measures for consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDAR, which exclude certain items described below. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables appearing below. "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings, or loss, for Bally’s, or where noted Bally’s reportable segments, before, in each case, interest expense, net of interest income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-operating (income) expense, acquisition and other transaction related costs, share-based compensation, and certain other gains or losses as well as, when presented for Bally’s reporting segments, an adjustment related to the allocation of corporate costs among segments. "Segment Adjusted EBITDAR" is Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for Bally’s reportable segments, plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases for the real estate assets used in the operation of the Bally’s casinos and the assumption of the lease for real estate and land underlying the operations of the Bally’s Lake Tahoe property. For the International Interactive, North America Interactive, and Other segments, Segment Adjusted EBITDAR and segment Adjusted EBITDA are equivalent due to a lack of triple net operating lease for real estate assets used in those segments. Management has historically used consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating operating performance because Bally’s believes that these metrics are necessary to provide a full understanding of Bally’s core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period performance. Management also believes that consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDAR are measures that are widely used for evaluating operating performance of companies in Bally’s industry and a principal basis for valuing such companies as well. Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric traditionally used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as alternatives to GAAP net income as an indicator of Bally’s performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA or Segment Adjusted EBITDAR as used by Bally’s may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in Bally’s industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.
