Century Casinos, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

Challenging First Half of the Year but Maintain Positive Outlook

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Century Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) (Nasdaq Capital Market®: CNTY) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights*

Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023:

Net operating revenue was $146.4 million, an increase of 7%.
Earnings from operations were $14.3 million, a decrease of (23%).
Net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders was ($41.6) million and basic loss per share was ($1.36).
Adjusted EBITDAR** was $27.4 million, a decrease of (6%).

“Results for the second quarter of 2024 were impacted by a valuation allowance on our US deferred tax assets, a disappointing performance at the Nugget Casino Resort as well as temporary closures of two casinos in Poland. The Nugget has undergone a leadership change and is implementing right-sizing and cost-cutting initiatives to improve its performance,” Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Century Casinos remarked. “We have completed the majority of our elevated capital expenditure projects and are projecting total capital expenditures to be approximately $12.6 million for the remainder of 2024 and $12.0 million in 2025,” they continued. “We look forward to opening our new land-based casino in Caruthersville, Missouri ahead of schedule later this year. The casino will increase gaming positions and hotel rooms in Caruthersville by approximately 50%,” Messrs. Haitzmann and Hoetzinger concluded.

UPDATES

Caruthersville Project – The Company is constructing a new land-based casino with a 38 room hotel in Caruthersville, Missouri. The project continues to be on budget with an estimated project cost of $51.9 million. Construction started in December 2022 with estimated completion ahead of schedule in mid-November 2024. The Company is funding this project through VICI Properties, Inc. (“VICI”). Following completion, VICI will own the real estate improvements associated with the Caruthersville project, which will become a part of the Company’s triple net lease (“Master Lease”) with subsidiaries of VICI.

Poland – Renovations on the new casino location in Wroclaw continue, and the Company expects to open the casino in October 2024. The Company closed its Krakow casino in May 2024 and its LIM Center casino in Warsaw in July 2024 due to the expiration of the license at each location. The Company applied for licenses at both locations prior to their expirations, however, there can be no assurance that such licenses will be received.

Valuation Allowance – During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to the United States, resulting in $23.8 million of tax expense.

Items deducted from or added to earnings from operations to arrive at net (loss) earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders include interest income, interest expense, gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and other, income tax (benefit) expense, and non-controlling interests. Increased interest expense and a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets in the United States negatively impacted net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders. Interest expense increased primarily due to additional properties added to the Master Lease. The Company recorded a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to the United States resulting in $23.8 million of tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Based on the analysis of future realization of the United States deferred tax assets, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain deferred tax assets will not be realized and therefore recorded the valuation allowance.

(1)	The Company operated on ship-based casinos through April 16, 2023.
(2)	The Company’s equity interest in Smooth Bourbon was included in the Corporate Other reporting unit until April 3, 2023, when the Company acquired the Nugget Casino Resort and the Company began consolidating Smooth Bourbon.

* We define Adjusted EBITDAR as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income) (including interest expense related to the Master Lease), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interests net earnings (losses) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, loss (gain) on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other, gain on business combination and certain other one-time transactions. The Master Lease is accounted for as a financing obligation. As such, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease is recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment impacting the financing obligation using the effective interest method. Intercompany transactions consisting primarily of management and royalty fees and interest, along with their related tax effects, are excluded from the presentation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders and Adjusted EBITDAR reported for each segment. Not all of the aforementioned items occur in each reporting period, but have been included in the definition based on historical activity. These adjustments have no effect on the consolidated results as reported under GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric and is not considered a measure of performance recognized under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases such as our Master Lease since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. This metric is included as supplemental disclosure because (i) we believe Adjusted EBITDAR is used by gaming operator analysts and investors to determine the equity value of gaming operators and (ii) financial analysts refer to Adjusted EBITDAR when valuing our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDAR is useful for equity valuation purposes because (i) its calculation isolates the effects of financing real estate, and (ii) using a multiple of Adjusted EBITDAR to calculate enterprise value allows for an adjustment to the balance sheet to recognize estimated liabilities arising from operating leases related to real estate.

Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as indicators of our performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAR as used by us may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in our industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders, because it excludes the rent expense associated with our Master Lease and several other items.

** The Company defines net income (loss) margin as net income (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders divided by net operating revenue.

*** The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAR margin as Adjusted EBITDAR divided by net operating revenue. Adjusted EBITDAR margins are a non-US GAAP measure. Management uses these margins as one of several measures to evaluate the efficiency of the Company’s casino operations.
