2025 Transactions
Current report
On October 8, 2025 (the “Intralot Closing Date”), the Company completed the previously announced acquisition under the transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) of Intralot, pursuant to which Intralot agreed to acquire Bally’s International Interactive through a combined cash-and-equity transaction. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, (i) Intralot paid the Company €1.5 billion ($1.8 billion) in cash and issued approximately 873.7 million new shares in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Bally’s Holdings Limited which held Bally’s International Interactive, (ii) the Company’s ownership of Intralot increased to a controlling 57.9% interest through the issuance of equity to the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Premier Entertainment Sub, LLC via PE Sub Holdings LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, making the Company the majority shareholder of Intralot (the “Intralot Transaction”).
Current report
As a result of obtaining a controlling financial interest in Intralot, the Company retained control of Bally’s International Interactive, via Bally’s Holdings Limited, throughout the transaction. On the Intralot Closing Date, legal ownership of Bally’s Holdings Limited transferred from Premier Entertainment Sub to Intralot; however, Bally’s Corporation simultaneously obtained control of Intralot. Accordingly, Bally’s maintained control of Bally’s International Interactive, and as a result, the transfer of Bally’s International Interactive was accounted for as an equity transaction with the initial recognition of a 42.1% non-controlling interest, and no gain or loss was recognized in earnings.

First Quarter 2026 Results
Current report
The three months ended March 31, 2026 (successor) compared to the successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025 and the predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025.
Current report
Total revenue for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 28%, from $589.2 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025. Increases in total revenue from the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and Successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025 are primarily driven by the revenue additions from Queen, beginning on February 8, 2025, and the Intralot entities, beginning October 8, 2025, contributing $68.5 million and $95.2 million, respectively, to the Successor three months ended March 31, 2026.
Current report
During the Successor three months ended March 31, 2026, gaming and non-gaming expenses grew proportionally relative to total revenue. The expenses for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and Successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025 amounted to $267.2 million. This growth in expenses compared to the prior year is primarily due to the changes in revenue year over year.
Current report
Depreciation and amortization expense for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $27.6 million from $69.8 million compared to the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and Successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025. Changes year over year are primarily due to a $28.1 million increase in expense attributable to our Intralot business, partially offset a decrease in depreciation expense related to the assets sold as part of the Bally’s Twin River sale-leaseback with GLPI in the first quarter of 2026.
Current report
Income from operations was$91.6 million for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to Loss from operations of $22.6 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and Successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025. Changes year over year are primarily due to a $105.8 million Gain on sale-leaseback in the Successor three months ended March 31, 2026.
Current report
Other Expense was $255.7 million for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $90.4 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and Successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025. The increase of $165.4 million year over year is primarily due to a $63.4 million Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and $104.3 million Loss on fair value of fair value option assets in the Successor three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $17.4 million Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and $5.5 million gain on fair value of fair value option assets in the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and Successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025.

The increase in cash used was primarily driven by increased net losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) of $144.3 million, coupled with the changes in working capital, offset by the $97.9 million received from GLPI in the current period for capital expenditures related to the construction of the Company’s permanent casino in Chicago.
Current report

This increase was driven primarily by the $685.0 million of proceeds received from the Bally’s Twin River sale-leaseback, offset by the $500.0 million paid in the first quarter of 2026 for the New York gaming license fee.
Current report
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor) was $242.4 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $112.1 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025. The fluctuation from the 2025 periods is primarily due to $123.8 million of net debt repayments during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (Successor), compared to net debt issuances of $435.4 million during the 2025 periods, coupled with the $416.2 million of share repurchases during the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to March 31, 2025.

The Regulatory Agreement also provides affirmative obligations, including setting a minimum number of employees that we must employ in Rhode Island and providing the DBR and DoL with periodic information updates about us. Among other things, the Regulatory Agreement prohibits us and our subsidiaries from owning, operating, managing or providing gaming specific goods and services to any properties in Rhode Island (other than Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton), Massachusetts, Connecticut or New Hampshire. A failure to comply with the Regulatory Agreement could subject us to injunctive and monetary relief, and ultimately the revocation or suspension of our licenses to operate in Rhode Island.
Previous report

Our master contracts with Rhode Island extend through June 30, 2043, and allow for consolidation of promotional points between Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton, obligate Bally’s Twin River to build a 50,000 square foot expansion, obligate Bally’s to lease at least 20,000 square feet of commercial space in Providence, and commit us to invest $100 million in Rhode Island over the term, including an expansion and the addition of new amenities at Bally’s Twin River. As a licensed Technology Provider since July 1, 2021, Bally’s Twin River is entitled to an additional share of net terminal income on Video Lottery Terminals (“VLTs”) which they own or lease.

Previous report
Income from operations for the Successor three months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.0 million compared to a loss from operations of $157.7 million in the Predecessor prior year period. The change year-over-year was driven by the loss on sale-leaseback of $150.0 million recorded in the Predecessor second quarter of 2024 related to the lease modification event involving the real estate underlying the Bally’s Chicago project. The loss from operations for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 of $20.8 million and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 of $3.3 million compared to the Predecessor nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $226.0 million decreased $202.0 million. This decrease is due to the loss on sale-leaseback of $150.0 million coupled with the accelerated depreciation related to Tropicana Las Vegas, as noted above recorded in 2024.
Previous report
The $24.7 million increase in other expense for the Successor three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor) was primarily attributable to increased interest expense due to higher borrowings and interest rates of our borrowings year-over-year, offset by reduced foreign exchange losses and $16.9 million of performance warrant fair value adjustments recorded in the Predecessor third quarter of 2024 that are not applicable in the Successor third quarter of 2025. The increase in other expense for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 compared to the Predecessor nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted from increased interest expense, as previously noted, and a $17.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt, offset by a $55.6 million gain related to the fair value of our investment in Intralot.
Previous report
As of September 30, 2025 (Successor), the Company projects an annual tax provision relative to its pre-tax loss in the US due to the valuation allowance on interest, the $10.5 million discrete benefit of the One Big Beautiful Bill in the third quarter of 2025, and a tax provision internationally relative to its pre-tax income, which results in a combined (19)% annual effective tax rate, as the combined pre-tax income by jurisdiction is minimized.

Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Previous report
Net loss for the Successor three months ended September 30, 2025 was $106.2 million compared to $247.9 million net loss for the Predecessor three months ended September 30, 2024. Net loss for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 was $351.1 million compared to $482.0 million in the Predecessor nine months ended September 30, 2024. These changes were all primarily attributable to the factors noted above.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the Casinos & Resorts segment was $107.9 million for the Successor three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $100.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Adjusted EBITDAR was $23.6 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and $285.4 million for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 compared to $289.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor). For the third quarter of 2025 Casino & Resorts improved compared to the same period last year with inclusion of our new Queen properties being partially offset by competitive market conditions most notably in Shreveport, Evansville, and Dover. Overall the competitive headwind is partially mitigated by our continued focus on operational efficiencies.
Previous report
Adjusted EBITDAR for the International Interactive segment was $91.9 million for the Successor three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $90.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor) and was $28.9 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and $222.3 million for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 compared to $254.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor). Improvement in the third quarter 2025 compared to same period last year reflects improved revenue with lower expenses that are the result of our continued focus on costs and efficiencies with an improving FX landscape for our European markets, partially offset by the disposition of the Asia interactive business in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Previous report
Adjusted EBITDAR for the North America Interactive segment was a loss of $6.0 million for the Successor three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to Adjusted EBITDAR loss of $6.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor).

Third quarter 2025 results compared to 2024 improved for the segment with the inclusion of the Queen’s sports business coupled with strong top-line growth in our iGaming and on-line sports betting business, offset by higher marketing investment and an increase in certain other expenses.

Valuation of Intangible Assets Acquired in Business Combinations
Previous report
Intangible assets consist primarily of gaming licenses, trade names, developed technology and customer lists which have been obtained through business combinations and internally developed software attributable to our interactive businesses.
Previous report
Gaming licenses obtained through business combinations are generally recorded at their fair values through purchase accounting using the Greenfield Method under the income approach. This method estimates isolated income that properly attributable to a license based on modeling a hypothetical start-up company going into business without any other assets than the gaming license being valued and building a new casino with similar utility to the existing casino. Using this method, the valuation of the gaming license is dependent upon significant estimates such as projected revenues and cash flows, estimated construction costs, duration of that construction, pre-opening expenses and appropriate discounting. Gaming licenses accounted for as asset acquisitions are valued at cost.
Previous report
Trade names obtained through business combinations are valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. This method estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. As such, the value of a trade name acquired through a business combination is dependent upon estimates such as projected revenues, selection of an appropriate hypothetical royalty rate and appropriate discounting.
Previous report
Developed technology is obtained through business combinations and is recorded at fair value through purchase accounting using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method under the income approach. The principle behind this method is that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after tax cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible asset after deducting Contributory Asset Charges (“CACs”). The principle behind a CAC is that an intangible asset ‘rents’ or ‘leases’ from a hypothetical third party all the assets it requires to produce the cash flows resulting from its development, that each project rents only those assets it needs and not the ones that it does not need, and that each project pays the owner of the assets a fair return on the value of the rented assets. Under this method, the valuation of developed technology is dependent on estimates such as projected revenues and cash flows, CAC and appropriate discounting.
Previous report
Certain trade names are considered to be indefinite lived based on future expectations of continuing to brand our corporate name and certain properties under the Bally’s trade name indefinitely. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1 and between annual test dates whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of the related asset may not be recoverable.
Previous report
For our finite-lived intangible assets, we establish a useful life upon initial recognition based on the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to the future cash flows of the Company and periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their remaining useful lives in a pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed, which is generally on a straight-line basis.

Net cash used in operating activities for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 and the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 was $110.0 million compared to $76.2 million net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor). The increase in cash used was primarily driven by a reduction in net loss in the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and the predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 of $300.1 million and $51.0 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $482.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor). This reduction in net loss year-over-year was offset by lower non-cash charges as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor), which included a loss on sale-leaseback of $150.0 million and $80.1 million of accelerated depreciation related to our Tropicana Las Vegas assets.
Previous report
Net cash used in investing activities for the Successor period from February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 of $235.7 million and the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 of $17.7 million, compared to $191.1 million of cash used in investing for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor) was driven by an $83.7 million paid for our investment in the Star, coupled with cash paid for shares in Intralot of $13.8 million, offset by cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and decreases in capital expenditures and cash paid for capitalized software.
Previous report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the Successor period February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025 increased $323.2 million, from $75.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Predecessor). This increase was mainly attributable to higher net issuance of long-term debt and cash raised from the Bally’s Chicago Inc. issuance in the Successor period February 8, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 to February 7, 2025, offset by lower net borrowings from deferred payable arrangements and payment of financing fees.
Previous report
Following the Merger, the Company also has a master lease agreement through Queen with GLPI, the “Queen Master Lease”, with The Queen Baton Rouge, The Belle of Baton Rouge, Casino Queen Marquette and DraftKings at Casino Queen properties being leased under the terms of the Queen Master Lease, which requires combined initial minimum annual payments of $31.7 million. The Queen Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years and include four, five-year options to renew and is subject to annual escalation. Effective July 1, 2025, the DraftKings at Casino Queen and The Queen Baton Rouge properties were transferred to Master Lease No. 2 and the associated annual payments of $28.9 million was reallocated from the Casino Queen Master Lease to Master Lease No. 2. This was treated as a lease modification event where lease payments were reallocated across components of the Master Lease No. 2 on a relative fair value basis and the right of use assets and lease liabilities were remeasured.

The key performance indicator used in managing our business is consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR which are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings, or loss, for the Company, or where noted its reporting 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 our reporting segments, an adjustment related to the allocation of corporate cost among segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the Company’s reportable segments, plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases with GLPI 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.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, because it excludes the rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases with GLPI and the lease for real estate and land underlying the operations of the Bally’s Lake Tahoe property.
