Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) (“Caesars,” “CZR,”
“CEI” or “the Company”) today reported operating results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights:
- GAAP net revenues of $2.8 billion versus $2.9 billion for the
comparable prior-year period.
- GAAP net loss of $122 million compared to net income of $920
million for the comparable prior-year period, with the decrease
primarily driven by a release of $940 million of valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets associated with our REIT
leases in the prior year.
- Same-store Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 billion versus $1.0 billion
for the comparable prior-year period.
- Caesars Digital Adjusted EBITDA of $40 million versus $11
million for the comparable prior-year period.
Tom Reeg, Chief Executive Officer of Caesars Entertainment,
Inc., commented, “On a consolidated basis, the Company generated $1
billion of Adjusted EBITDA. Our operating results reflect year over
year growth in Adjusted EBITDA in our Las Vegas segment driven by
record same store revenues, hotel occupancy and Average Daily Rate
(ADR). Our Caesars Digital segment posted a new second-quarter
Adjusted EBITDA record, driven by strong revenue growth and solid
flow through. Regional segment results reflect competition in new
markets partially offset by our temporary facility in Danville,
Virginia and our property in Columbus, Nebraska. We remain
optimistic for the balance of 2024 driven by strong operating
trends in our Las Vegas and Caesars Digital segments and the
expected openings of the permanent facility in Danville coupled
with our $430 million capital investment in our newly rebranded
Caesars New Orleans property.”

Not meaningful
(a)
Adjustment for pre-disposition results of
operations reflecting the subtraction of results of operations for
Rio All-Suite & Casino prior to divestiture at the end of the
third quarter of 2023. Such figures are based on unaudited internal
financial statements and have not been reviewed by the Company’s
auditors for the periods presented. The additional financial
information is included to enable the comparison of current results
with results of prior periods.
(b)
Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measurement
and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the
Company believes it is a widely used measure of operating
performance in the gaming industry. See “Reconciliation of GAAP
Measures to Non-GAAP Measures” below for a definition of Adjusted
EBITDA and a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net
income (loss), which the Company believes is the most comparable
financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2024, Caesars had $12.4 billion in aggregate
principal amount of debt outstanding. Total cash and cash
equivalents were $830 million, excluding restricted cash of $129
million.

___________________
(a)
Revolver capacity includes $2.25 billion
under the CEI Revolving Credit Facility, maturing in January 2028
(subject to a springing maturity in the event certain other
long-term debt of Caesars is not extended or repaid), and $25
million under the Caesars Virginia Revolving Credit Facility,
maturing on April 26, 2029, less $40 million reserved for specific
purposes.
(b)
Excludes approximately $280 million of
additional borrowing available under the Caesars Virginia Delayed
Draw Term Loan.
“Our debt reduction plan continued in the second quarter, with
Term Loan B repayments of over $100 million. We continue to
forecast 2024 full year capital expenditures of $800 million,
excluding our Danville project which is funded within the joint
venture,” said Bret Yunker, Chief Financial Officer.
Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA (described below), a non-GAAP financial measure,
has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a
widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of
companies in our industry and we believe that this non-GAAP
supplemental information will be helpful in understanding our
ongoing operating results. Management has historically used
Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we
believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and
non-recurring items is necessary to provide a full understanding of
our core operating results and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period results. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income
(loss) before interest income and interest expense, net of interest
capitalized, (benefit) provision for income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on
extinguishment of debt, impairment charges, other (income) loss,
net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests,
transaction costs associated with our acquisitions, developments
and divestitures, and non-cash changes in equity method
investments. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the expense associated
with certain of our leases as these transactions were accounted for
as financing obligations and the associated expense is included in
interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance
or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA
is unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or
more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of our
operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in
Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments,
income taxes, debt principal repayments, and payments under our
leases with affiliates of GLPI and VICI Properties, Inc., which can
be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered as a measure of our liquidity. Other companies that
provide EBITDA information may calculate Adjusted EBITDA
differently than we do. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not
be the same as the definitions used in any of our debt
agreements.
