Refer to tables in this press release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Robeson Reeves, Bally’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Bally’s delivered solid 2024 second quarter operating results during what remains an active period for our Company. Consolidated revenue grew 2.5% to $621.7 million, driven by 3.0% growth in Casinos & Resorts (“C&R”) revenue, 94.7% growth in North America Interactive revenue, and 9% UK revenue growth, a record performance. This was offset by declines in Asia and other markets, resulting in a 7.4% overall decline in International Interactive revenue. Subsequent to the second quarter end, we entered into a binding term sheet for a $940 million strategic construction and financing arrangement with Gaming & Leisure Properties (“GLPI”) which includes funding to complete the construction of our flagship permanent casino in the heart of downtown Chicago. The arrangement also includes sale-leaseback transactions for our Kansas City and Shreveport properties for $395 million and reiterates our intentions for a sale-leaseback of our Lincoln property for $735 million.

“Last week, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with The Queen Casino & Entertainment Inc. (“QC&E”), a regional casino operator with four casinos across three states, which is majority-owned by funds managed by Standard General L.P., also Bally’s largest shareholder. As part of the merger transaction, Bally’s stockholders will receive cash consideration of $18.25 per Bally’s share with an option to elect to maintain their equity investment in Bally’s. The addition of four properties to our existing domestic property portfolio not only expands our platform and databases but will further diversify the markets in which we operate. The combination of QC&E’s development pipeline also to our own growth pipeline provides the Company with a clear path toward additional revenue, cash flow growth and value accretion. We expect to provide more details around this transformative transaction in a forthcoming proxy statement.

“Casinos & Resorts revenue of $343.1 million benefited from the ongoing ramp of operations at our Chicago Temporary Casino and stability across most of our portfolio, offset by the closure of Tropicana and in part by property-specific headwinds in certain markets. The Chicago Temporary Casino, having now welcomed more than one million total visitors, continues to gain traction with players and our local database is growing. In Rhode Island, local bridge construction on Interstate 195 has led to lane closures which disrupt traffic during peak periods, impacting visitation to our Lincoln property. In addition, we experienced an increase in promotional activity from certain Massachusetts properties which we are managing through. Finally, though we continue to invest in our Atlantic City property, turnover in our relationship marketing team impacted second quarter results for this market. Reflecting the impact on operations in these markets, second quarter segment adjusted EBITDAR declined 10% year-over-year.

“In the UK, we continued to see healthy revenue growth of 9% (8% in constant currency) while overall International Interactive revenues declined by 7.4% year-over-year to $229.4 million due to lower revenues from our non-UK operations. Despite the overall revenue decline in International Interactive, adjusted EBITDAR margins improved 130 basis points year-over-year, leading to overall International Interactive adjusted EBITDAR of $81.3 million, down 3.9% year-over-year. The strength of our UK market reflects continuing iGaming share gains and the initial results from accelerating the soft launch of our online sports betting offering. Outside the UK, our business in Asia was challenged in the quarter as we continue to work through several logistical and operational hurdles which directly impacted players. We believe the Asian Interactive market remains an attractive opportunity and we will continue to work to manage and grow our position in this important region.

“Our North America Interactive operations generated second quarter revenues of $49.2 million, up 94.7% year-over-year, and an Adjusted EBITDAR loss of $6.8 million. We outperformed our internal expectations for this segment in the second quarter as we benefited from strong performance from our iGaming operations in Rhode Island. Further, we continue to generate excellent results in our New Jersey and Pennsylvania iGaming markets as well as from our Bally Bet OSB operations, driven in part by the ongoing integration of the Kambi and White Hat technology platforms which have garnered positive player feedback and enhanced our ability to deliver a leading product offering.”

George Papanier, Bally’s President, added, “While certain market specific events impacted performance, the rest of the C&R portfolio grew 19% year-over-year, and excluding Chicago, grew 3%, demonstrating the resilience of our portfolio. Unique growth initiatives such as our Chicago development add to the overall attractiveness of Bally’s. Progress at our Chicago project continues, with our recent announcement of the funding agreement with GLPI and the redesign of the all-new permanent Bally’s Chicago Casino setting the stage for the creation of a flagship casino resort destination in the heart of downtown Chicago. We have now taken control of the former Chicago Tribune site and are in the process of beginning the demolition and site prep work we need to complete before construction can begin. At the same time, we are working through an approval process with the City given the recent change to the site plan which now includes the construction of a 500-room hotel tower as part of a single-phase project. We also continue to ramp up operations at the Chicago Temporary Casino with improving utilization and a growing database of players along with ongoing efforts to round out the amenities available to our players. Given the favorable adult population and demographic comparison to other large metropolitan casino resort markets, we are in a great position in Chicago to achieve attractive long-term returns on this project and look forward to working closely with the community to bring our vision to life. Outside of Chicago, we continue to manage our business for long-term growth and remain optimistic regarding our C&R portfolio and its future prospects.”

Marcus Glover, Bally’s Chief Financial Officer, concluded, “The diversity of our asset portfolio was again on display in the second quarter of 2024 as we generated healthy financial performance even in the face of some property-specific headwinds. We remain focused on optimizing our cost structure and enhancing operating efficiency as we continue to build our businesses and operate them cohesively. These efforts have delivered initial successes, and they remain a priority as we move through the balance of the year.”

2024 Guidance

The Company's annual guidance for revenues is a range of $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion and adjusted EBITDAR is a range of $655 million to $695 million. Bally's currently expects to be at the lower end of the range for the year. The Company continues to take mitigation measures and has implemented tighter capital allocation strategies to maintain or improve its free cash flow position.

2024 targets for capital expenditures and software development costs for the core portfolio are now reduced by approximately $50 million to an expected $115 million for the year. This does not include developmental CapEx for projects such as the Tropicana or the permanent casino development in Chicago. The Tropicana demolition and site preparation for delivering the site to the A's will be funded by GLPI pursuant to the Company's prior agreement and will be added to its rent base for the land lease. For Chicago, GLPI will be funding some of the construction costs directly, including long lead-time materials and infrastructure, while Bally's will be responsible for demolition, site prep, and soft costs such as architectural and engineering expenses.

Bally’s guidance is based on current plans and expectations and contains several assumptions. The guidance is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” set forth below.

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. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric. Management believes Consolidated 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, consolidated 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.

Bally’s does not provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAR on a forward-looking basis to net income, its most comparable GAAP financial measure, because Bally’s is unable to forecast the amount or significance of certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items include depreciation, impairment charges, gains or losses on retirement of debt, acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, interest expense, share-based compensation expense, professional and advisory fees associated with Bally’s capital return program and variations in effective tax rate, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events, but which are excluded from Bally’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDAR. Bally’s believes that the probable significance of providing this forward-looking valuation metric without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP metric, is that investors and analysts will have certain information that Bally’s believes is useful and meaningful in valuing its business. Investors are cautioned that Bally’s cannot predict the occurrence, timing or amount of all non-GAAP items that may be excluded from Adjusted EBITDAR in the future. Accordingly, the actual effect of these items, when determined, could potentially be significant to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDAR.

Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is Bally’s reportable segment GAAP measure and its primary measure for profit or loss for its reportable 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.
