NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Boyd Gaming Corporation (and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company", "Boyd", "Boyd Gaming", "we" or "us") was incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1988 and has been operating since 1975. The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BYD".

We are a geographically diversified operator of 28 wholly owned gaming entertainment properties. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, we have gaming operations in Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In addition, we own and operate Boyd Interactive, a business-to-business ("B2B") and business-to-consumer ("B2C") online casino gaming business. We also manage the Sky River Casino located in California under a management agreement with Wilton Rancheria.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 24, 2023.

The results for the periods indicated are unaudited but reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be achieved during a full year of operations or in future periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which are 50% or less owned and do not meet the controlling financial interest consolidation criteria of the authoritative accounting guidance for voting interest or variable interest entities, are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recasted Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited)

In first quarter 2023, the Company separated out online revenue and management fee revenue from other revenue. This change was a result of increased contributions to the Company in these two areas and related update to our reportable segments discussed in Note 10, Segment Information. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 has been recast to conform to this presentation. The disaggregation of online revenue and management fee revenue from other revenue did not impact the Company's total revenues, net income or earnings per share as previously reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Additionally, during the first quarter 2023, the Company evaluated its reportable segments and changed them to the following four reportable segments: (i) Las Vegas Locals; (ii) Downtown Las Vegas; (iii) Midwest & South; and (iv) Online. To reconcile to the condensed consolidated information, the Company has aggregated nonreportable operating segments into a Managed & Other category. These changes reflect the growth of the Company beyond its traditional wholly owned gaming entertainment properties and the increasing importance to the Company of other growth sources. Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 has been recast to conform to this presentation. See Note 10, Segment Information, for additional information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments, which include cash on hand and in banks, interest-bearing deposits and money market funds with maturities of three months or less at their date of purchase. The instruments are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions. Although these balances may at times exceed the federal insured deposit limit, we believe such risk is mitigated by the quality of the institution holding such deposit. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values as such balances are generally available on demand.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of advance payments related to: (i) amounts restricted by regulation for gaming and racing purposes; (ii) amounts restricted by regulation for the value in players' online casino gaming accounts; and (iii) future bookings with our Hawaiian travel agency. These restricted cash balances are invested in highly liquid instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less. These restricted cash balances are held by high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total balance shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Leases

Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. For our operating leases for which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we generally use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the weighted average incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement or modification date that is commensurate with the rate of interest in a similar economic environment that we would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to our future lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term, including reasonably certain options to extend or terminate. The determination of the incremental borrowing rate could materially impact our lease liabilities. Operating right-of-use ("ROU") assets and finance lease assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue contracts with customers consist of gaming wagers (including both those made at our casino properties and online B2C wagers), hotel room sales, food & beverage offerings and other amenity transactions. See Collaborative Arrangements below for further discussion of revenues earned under our online collaborative arrangements. The transaction price for a gaming wagering contract is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. Cash discounts, commissions and other cash incentives to customers related to gaming play are recorded as a reduction of gaming revenues. The transaction price for hotel, food & beverage and other contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. Hotel, food & beverage and other services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and the transaction price for such contracts is recorded as revenue as the good or service is transferred to the customer over their stay at the hotel, when the delivery is made for the food & beverage or when the service is provided for other amenity transactions.

We have established player loyalty programs to encourage repeat business from frequent and active slot machine customers and other patrons. Members earn points based on gaming activity and such points can be redeemed for complimentary slot play, food & beverage, hotel rooms and other free goods and services.

Gaming wager contracts involve two performance obligations for those customers earning points under the Company’s player loyalty programs and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the programs. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio to not differ materially from that which would result if applying the guidance to an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company allocates an amount to the player loyalty contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the points earned, which is determined by the value of a point that can be redeemed for a hotel room stay, food & beverage or other amenities. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. An amount is allocated to the gaming wager performance obligation using the residual approach as the stand-alone price for wagers is highly variable and no set established price exists for such wagers. The allocated revenue for gaming wagers, excluding race and sports wagers, is recognized when the wagers occur as all such wagers settle immediately. The allocated revenue for race and sports wagers is recognized when the specific event or game occurs. The player loyalty contract liability amount is deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the points for a hotel room stay, food & beverage or other amenities and such goods or services are delivered to the customer. See Note 5, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance outstanding related to player loyalty programs.

The Company collects advance deposits from hotel customers for future hotel reservations and other future events such as banquets and ticketed events. These advance deposits represent obligations of the Company until the hotel room stay is provided to the customer or the banquet or ticketed event occurs. See Note 5, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance outstanding related to advance deposits.

The Company's outstanding chip liability represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer. Outstanding chips are expected to be recognized as revenue or redeemed for cash within one year of being purchased. See Note 5, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance related to outstanding chips.

The retail value of hotel accommodations, food & beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is recorded as departmental revenues. Gaming revenues are net of incentives earned in our player loyalty programs such as cash and the estimated retail value of goods and services (such as complimentary rooms and food & beverage). The estimated retail values related to goods and services provided to customers without charge or upon redemption of points under our player loyalty programs included in departmental revenues, and therefore reducing our gaming revenues, are as follows:

as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Gaming Taxes

We are subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which we operate. These gaming taxes are assessed based on our gaming revenues and are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a gaming expense for gaming entertainment properties and online expense for Boyd Interactive operations. Gaming taxes recorded as gaming expense totaled approximately $129.7 million and $135.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were $259.8 million and $266.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gaming taxes recorded as online expense, excluding taxes paid under collaborative arrangements (see Collaborative Arrangements below for further discussion), totaled $1.2 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. There was not any gaming tax recorded as online expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Use of the term "more likely than not" indicates the likelihood of occurrence is greater than 50%. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is continually assessed based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of profitability and taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with the utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before expiration and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

In performing our second quarter valuation allowance analysis, we determined that the positive evidence in favor of releasing a portion of our valuation allowance for certain state jurisdictions, outweighed the negative evidence. We utilize a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income adjusted for permanent book to tax differences as a measure of cumulative results in recent years. We transitioned from a cumulative loss position to a cumulative income position over the rolling twelve quarters ended June 30, 2023. Other evidence considered in the analysis included, but was not limited to, a trend reflective of improvement in recent earnings, forecasts of profitability and taxable income and the reversal of existing temporary differences. The change in these conditions during the three months ended June 30, 2023 provided positive evidence that supported the release of the valuation allowance against a significant portion of our state deferred tax assets. As such, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the benefit from our deferred tax assets would be realized. As a result, during the second quarter, we released $35.9 million of valuation allowance on our state income tax net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.

Other Long-Term Tax Liabilities

The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on accounting standards for uncertain income taxes, which prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.

Uncertain tax position accounting standards apply to all tax positions related to income taxes. These accounting standards utilize a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement is only addressed if the position is deemed to be more likely than not to be sustained. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.

Tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first subsequent interim period that they meet the "more likely than not" standard. If it is subsequently determined that a previously recognized tax position no longer meets the "more likely than not" standard, it is required that the tax position is derecognized. Accounting standards for uncertain tax positions specifically prohibit the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions. As applicable, the Company will recognize accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties are included in other long-term tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Collaborative Arrangements

We hold a five percent equity ownership in and have a strategic partnership with FanDuel Group ("FanDuel"), the nation's leading sports-betting operator, to pursue sports-betting opportunities across the country, both at our properties and online. Subject to state law and regulatory approvals, we have established a presence in the sports wagering industry, both at our properties and online, by leveraging FanDuel's technology and related services. We offer online sports wagering under the FanDuel brand or under market access agreements with other companies in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. We also operate sportsbooks under the FanDuel brand at one of our Downtown Las Vegas properties, our properties in Mississippi and all of the properties in the states noted above where we offer online sports wagering. In addition, we offer online casino gaming in Pennsylvania through our partnership with FanDuel. Under our online collaborative arrangements, we receive a revenue share from the third-party operator based on actual wagering wins and losses. The activities related to these collaborative arrangements are recorded in online revenue and online expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The activities related to sportsbooks at our properties are recorded in gaming revenue and gaming expense.

Under certain of our collaborative arrangements, we are the primary obligor and are responsible for paying gaming taxes and other license payments owed as the gaming licensee for the related online gaming activities. We are reimbursed for these taxes and other payments by the third-party operators. We report these gaming taxes and other expenses paid as online expense and the reimbursements we receive as online revenues. These taxes and other payments totaled approximately $63.3 million and $48.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $159.3 million and $89.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Currency Translation

The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. If a material income statement event occurs, the transaction would be translated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of occurrence. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses from foreign currency transaction remeasurements are recorded as other non-operating income (expense).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently being studied by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION

Pala Interactive

On November 1, 2022, Boyd Interactive Gaming Inc. ("Boyd Interactive Inc."), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its previously announced acquisition of Pala Interactive, LLC ("Pala Interactive") and its subsidiaries, including its Canadian subsidiary Pala Interactive Canada Inc. ("Pala Canada"), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), entered into on March 28, 2022, by and among Boyd Interactive Inc., Boyd Phoenix Acquisition, LLC ("Merger Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Boyd Interactive Inc., Boyd Phoenix Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Boyd Gaming, Pala Interactive, Pala Canada Holdings, LLC and Shareholder Representative Services LLC as representative of the holders of the membership interests of Pala Interactive. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Pala Interactive (the "Merger"), with Pala Interactive surviving the Merger. Pala Interactive is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Boyd Interactive Inc.

Pala Interactive is an innovative online gaming technology company that provides proprietary solutions on both a B2B and B2C basis in regulated markets across the United States and Canada. We view this acquisition as an important step forward in our online growth strategy as it provides us with the talent and technology to begin building our regional online casino business. While online casinos are now limited to just a few states, over the long term, we believe there is growth and additional profit potential for our Company from online gaming. By owning and operating an online gaming business, we are able to leverage our nationwide portfolio and extensive customer database to grow in the online casino space. The acquired company is aggregated into our Online segment (See Note 10, Segment Information).

Consideration Transferred

The fair value of the consideration transferred on the date of the Merger included the purchase price of the net assets transferred. The total gross cash consideration was $175.2 million (with $7.3 million of cash acquired, for total cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash received of $167.9 million).

Status of Purchase Price Allocation

The Company followed the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 ("ASC 805"). For purposes of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we have allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as determined by management with the assistance from third-party specialists. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The Company has recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition based on fair value estimates as of the date of the Merger. In second quarter 2023, the Company finalized its determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, along with the related allocation of goodwill. There was no change in the fair value of the intangible assets acquired or the related allocation of goodwill from the preliminary values included in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2022, to the final fair value determination included in the condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2023.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

*(In thousands)*	*As Recorded*
Current assets	$	10,456
Property and equipment		445

B2B relationships	7 - 10		28,000
B2C relationships	12		13,000
Total intangible assets acquired		$	77,000

The goodwill recognized is the excess of the purchase price over the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. All of the goodwill was assigned to reporting units included in the Online reportable segment. All of the goodwill, except $7.8 million allocated to Pala Canada, is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company expensed acquisition related costs of less than $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.1 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These costs are included in project development, preopening and writedowns on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The revenue and earnings from the Merger are not material for the period subsequent to acquisition through December 31, 2022. The pro-forma revenue and earnings from the Merger assuming all impacts as if it had been completed on January 1, 2022 are not material through December 31, 2022.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Wilton Rancheria Agreements

In 2012, the Company entered into a development agreement and a management agreement with Wilton Rancheria. The development agreement obligated us to fund certain pre-development costs to assist Wilton Rancheria in its development and oversight of the gaming facility construction. The pre-development costs financed by us are to be repaid under the terms of a note receivable with Wilton Rancheria bearing interest at 12.5% with payment timing and the payment amount subject to an excess cash flow waterfall payment prioritization and maintenance of a certain leverage ratio, among other restrictions under Wilton Rancheria’s third-party credit agreement that provided funding for the construction project. Given the significant barriers of the project, a majority of the advances made during the 10-year period were historically reserved in full when advanced. The Sky River Casino opened on August 15, 2022 and after generating cash flows from operations, we updated our evaluation of expected losses on the note receivable which resulted in a partial release of the allowance during fourth quarter 2022. The Wilton Rancheria amended their third-party credit agreement in March 2023 and such amendment effectively allowed Sky River Casino to begin making previously disallowed distributions, under the excess cash flow waterfall. Given the amendment in the first quarter, the Company updated its evaluation of its expected losses on the note receivable. As the amendment allowed for quarterly payments to begin and given the sustained operating strength of the recently opened property, the Company concluded it expects to receive all payments due under the note receivable. As such, the Company removed the remaining allowance on the note receivable in first quarter 2023, which represented a reserve on both the development advances and interest on the note. The allowance reduction is thus allocated accordingly and $20.1 million is recorded in project development, preopening and writedowns and $14.3 million in interest income, both reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company has received $49.7 million in principal payments and $8.5 million in interest due under the note receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and as of June 30, 2023, the principal and interest outstanding on the note receivable total $66.3 million. Separately, the management agreement provides for us to manage the gaming facility upon opening for a period of seven years and receive a monthly management fee for our services based on monthly performance of the gaming facility. The management fee of $17.4 million and $37.5 million for our management services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, is paid monthly and recorded in management fee revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Commitments

As of June 30, 2023, other than the changes related to agreements with Wilton Rancheria as discussed above, there have been no material changes to our commitments described under Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023.

Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that all pending claims, if adversely decided, would not have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

Share Repurchase Program

On October 21, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of $300.0 million (the "Share Repurchase Program"). In addition, our Board of Directors authorized increases to the Share Repurchase Program of $500.0 million on June 1, 2022, and $500.0 million on May 4, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, $532.6 million remains available under the Share Repurchase Program. Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under this program. Repurchases of common stock may also be made under Rule 10b5- 1 plans, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases will be at the sole discretion of management, dependent on market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The following table provides information regarding share repurchases during the referenced periods ⁽¹⁾.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for share-based payments. Under the guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee's requisite service period.

The following table provides classification detail of the total costs related to our share-based employee compensation plans reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

	*Three Months Ended*				*Six Months Ended*

Total share-based compensation expense	$	12,198	$	14,100	$	20,017	$	22,833

Performance Shares

Our stock incentive plan provides for the issuance of Performance Share Units ("PSU") grants which may be earned, in whole or in part, upon passage of time and the attainment of performance criteria. We periodically review our estimates of performance against the defined criteria to assess the expected payout of each outstanding PSU grant and adjust our stock compensation expense accordingly.

The PSU grants awarded in fourth quarter 2019 and 2018 fully vested during first quarter 2023 and 2022, respectively. Common shares under the 2019 and 2018 grants were issued based on the determination by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of our actual achievement of net revenue growth and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and Rent under master leases ("EBITDAR") growth for the three-year performance period of the grant. As provided under the provisions of our stock incentive plan, certain of the participants elected to surrender a portion of the shares to be received to pay the withholding and other payroll taxes payable on the compensation resulting from the vesting of the PSUs.

The PSU grant awarded in December 2019 resulted in a total of 519,782 shares being issued during first quarter 2023, representing approximately 2.00 shares per PSU. Of the 519,782 shares issued, a total of 200,904 were surrendered by the participants for payroll taxes, resulting in a net issuance of 318,878 shares due to the vesting of the 2019 grant. The actual achievement level under the award metrics equaled the estimated performance as of the year-end 2022; therefore, the vesting of the PSUs did not impact compensation costs in our 2023 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The PSU grant awarded in November 2018 resulted in a total of 408,609 shares being issued during first quarter 2022, representing approximately 1.58 shares per PSU. Of the 408,609 shares issued, a total of 114,265 were surrendered by the participants for payroll taxes, resulting in a net issuance of 294,344 shares due to the vesting of the 2018 grant. The actual achievement level under the award metrics equaled the estimated performance as of the year-end 2021; therefore, the vesting of the PSUs did not impact compensation costs in our 2022 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Unamortized Stock Compensation Expense and Recognition Period

As of June 30, 2023, there was approximately $15.5 million, $5.6 million and $1.7 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation costs related to unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"), PSUs and career shares, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the unrecognized share-based compensation costs related to our RSUs, PSUs and career shares are expected to be recognized over approximately 2.2 years, 2.2 years and 3.6 years, respectively.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We have adopted the authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements, which does not determine or affect the circumstances under which fair value measurements are used, but defines fair value, expands disclosure requirements around fair value and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions.

These inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

As required by the guidance for fair value measurements, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Thus, assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 may be measured at fair value using inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 1, are based on statements received from our banks as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Investment Available for Sale

We have an investment in a single municipal bond issuance of $17.1 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Taxable Series 2007 that is classified as available for sale with a maturity date of June 1, 2037. We are the only holder of this instrument and there is no quoted market price for this instrument. As such, the fair value of this investment is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimate of the fair value of such investment was determined using a combination of current market rates and estimates of market conditions for instruments with similar terms, maturities and degrees of risk and a discounted cash flows analysis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of the instrument is estimated using a discounted cash flows approach and the significant unobservable input used in the valuation at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is a discount rate of 12.3% and 12.4%, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses on this instrument resulting from changes in the fair value of the instrument are not charged to earnings, but rather are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders' equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and in the condensed consolidated statement of other comprehensive income (loss). At both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $0.7 million of the carrying value of the investment available for sale is included as a current asset in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $12.5 million and $13.0 million, respectively, is included in other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The discount associated with this investment of $2.1 million and $2.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is netted with the investment balance and is being accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of such discount is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Company's Level 3 investment available for sale asset:

We are exposed to valuation risk on our Level 3 financial instruments. We estimate our risk exposure using a sensitivity analysis of potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs of our fair value measurements. Our Level 3 financial instruments are most susceptible to valuation risk caused by changes in the discount rate. If the discount rate in our fair value measurements increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the change would not cause the value of our fair value measurements to change significantly.

The fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 3, is utilized in performing the Company's impairment analyses.

Total debt	$	3,088,474	$	3,049,409	$	2,897,114

The estimated fair values of our note receivable and our obligation under assessment arrangements are based on a discounted cash flow approach after giving consideration to the changes in market rates of interest, creditworthiness of both parties and credit spread. The estimated fair value of our Credit Facility is based on a relative value analysis performed on or about June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The estimated fair values of our senior notes are based on quoted market prices as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The other debt is fixed-rate debt consisting of finance leases with various maturity dates from 2024 to 2025. The other debt is not traded and does not have an observable market input; therefore, we have estimated fair value to be equal to the carrying value for these obligations.

Other than the retirement of the 8.625% Senior Notes (Level 1) during the six months ended June 30, 2022, that was funded through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Facility (Level 2), there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 measurements during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company evaluated its reportable segments and changed them from three reportable segments consisting of: (i) Las Vegas Locals; (ii) Downtown Las Vegas; and (iii) Midwest & South, to the following four reportable segments: (i) Las Vegas Locals; (ii) Downtown Las Vegas; (iii) Midwest & South; and (iv) Online, (collectively "Reportable Segments"). This change reflects the growth of the Company beyond its traditional wholly owned gaming entertainment properties and the increasing importance to the Company of other growth sources. The Online segment includes the operating results of our online gaming operations through collaborative arrangements with third parties throughout the United States and the operations from our recent acquisition of Pala Interactive and Pala Canada (individually and collectively rebranded, "Boyd Interactive") on November 1, 2022, and operating results were previously included with the Midwest & South segment. To reconcile Reportable Segments information to the condensed consolidated information, the Company has aggregated nonreportable operating segments into a Managed & Other category. The Managed & Other category includes management fees earned under our management contract with Wilton Rancheria for the management of Sky River Casino in northern California and the operating results of Lattner Entertainment Group Illinois, LLC, our Illinois distributed gaming operator. These nonreportable operating segments were previously aggregated with our Midwest & South segment. The table below lists the Reportable Segment classification of each of our gaming entertainment properties that were aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate and their management and reporting structure.

Results of Operations - Total Reportable Segment Revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR

We evaluate profitability based on Adjusted EBITDAR, which represents earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, other operating items, net, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt, other items, net and master lease rent expense, as applicable. Total Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is the aggregate sum of the Adjusted EBITDAR for each of the properties included in our Las Vegas Locals, Downtown Las Vegas and Midwest & South segments and Adjusted EBITDAR related to the online operations in our Online segment. Results for Downtown Las Vegas include the results of our Hawaii-based travel agency and captive insurance company as our Downtown Las Vegas properties cater to the Hawaiian market.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

EBITDAR is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors and provides our investors a more complete understanding of our operating results before the impact of investing transactions, financing transactions and income taxes. Management has historically adjusted EBITDAR 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.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, departmental revenues for our Reportable Segments and our Managed & Other category to reconcile to total revenues:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

Boyd Gaming Corporation (and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company", "Boyd", "Boyd Gaming", "we" or "us") was incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1988 and has been operating since 1975. The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BYD".

We are a geographically diversified operator of 28 gaming entertainment properties. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, we have gaming operations in Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In addition, we own and operate Boyd Interactive, a business-to-business ("B2B") and business-to-consumer ("B2C") online casino gaming business. We also manage the Sky River Casino located in California under a management agreement with Wilton Rancheria. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company evaluated its reportable segments and changed them from three reportable segments consisting of: (i) Las Vegas Locals; (ii) Downtown Las Vegas; and (iii) Midwest & South, to the following four reportable segments: (i) Las Vegas Locals; (ii) Downtown Las Vegas; (iii) Midwest & South; and (iv) Online, (collectively "Reportable Segments"). This change reflects the growth of the Company beyond its traditional wholly owned gaming entertainment properties and the increasing importance to the Company of other growth sources. The Online segment includes the operating results of our online gaming operations through collaborative arrangements with third parties throughout the United States and the operations from our recent acquisition of Pala Interactive and Pala Canada (individually and collectively rebranded, "Boyd Interactive") on November 1, 2022, and operating results were previously included with the Midwest & South segment. To reconcile Reportable Segments information to the condensed consolidated information, the Company has aggregated nonreportable operating segments into a Managed & Other category. The Managed & Other category includes management fees earned under our management contract with Wilton Rancheria for the management of Sky River Casino in northern California and the operating results of Lattner Entertainment Group Illinois, LLC, our Illinois distributed gaming operator ("Lattner"). These nonreportable operating segments were previously aggregated with our Midwest & South segment. The table below lists the Reportable Segment classification of each of our gaming entertainment properties that were aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate and their management and reporting structure.

⁽¹⁾ Due to the current levels of demand in the market, Eastside Cannery remains closed since it was closed on March 18, 2020, in compliance with orders issued by state officials as precautionary measures intended to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

⁽²⁾ Property is subject to a master lease agreement with a real estate investment trust.

We also own a travel agency and a captive insurance company that underwrites travel-related insurance, each located in Hawaii. As our Downtown Las Vegas properties cater to the Hawaiian market, financial results for these operations are included in our Downtown Las Vegas segment.

Table of Contents

Most of our gaming entertainment properties also include hotel, dining, sportsbook, retail and other amenities. Our main business emphasis is on slot revenues, which are highly dependent upon the number of visits and spending levels of customers at our properties.

Our properties have historically generated significant operating cash flow, with the majority of our revenue being cash-based. While we do provide casino credit and the ability to transfer digital funds from the players' cashless wallet "BoydPay", subject to certain gaming regulations and jurisdictions, most of our customers wager with cash and pay for non-gaming services with cash or by credit card.

Our industry is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to fund maintenance capital expenditures, fund acquisitions, provide excess cash for future development, repay debt financing and associated interest costs, repurchase our debt or equity securities, and pay income taxes and dividends.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to increase shareholder value by pursuing strategic initiatives that improve and grow our business.

Growing Revenues and Operating Efficiently

We are committed to growing revenues and building loyalty among core customers through targeted marketing investments and a focus on maximizing gaming revenues while operating as efficiently as possible.

Balance Sheet Strength

We are committed to maintaining the strength of our balance sheet and finding opportunities to diversify and increase our cash flow. We intend to take a balanced approach to our cash flows, with a current emphasis on investing in our business and returning capital to shareholders.

Commitment to ESG

We fulfill our commitment to ESG through four core pillars: Environment, People, Communities and Corporate Governance. We are committed to the well-being of our communities and future generations through reducing our carbon footprint and economic contributions, strive to be an employer of choice where every team member is treated with dignity and respect, and conduct business with the highest level of integrity.

Evaluating Acquisition Opportunities

Our evaluations of potential investments and growth opportunities are strategic, deliberate, and disciplined. Our goal is to identify and pursue opportunities that grow our business, are available at the right price and deliver a solid return for shareholders. These investments can take the form of expanding and enhancing offerings and amenities at existing properties, development of new properties, expanding and enhancing online sports wagering and online casino offerings as they are legalized in and around the states we operate today, and asset acquisitions.

Maintaining Our Brand

The ability of our team members to deliver great customer service helps distinguish our Company and our brands from our competitors. Our team members are an important reason that our customers continue to choose our properties over the competition across the country. In addition, we have established nationwide branding and a loyalty program. Our players use their "Boyd Rewards" cards to earn and redeem points at nearly all of our properties. The "Boyd Rewards" club, among other benefits, rewards players for their loyalty by entitling them to qualify for promotions, earn rewards toward gaming and nongaming activities and receive benefits such as vacations and luxury gifts.

Table of Contents

Our Key Performance Indicators

We use several key performance measures to evaluate the operations of our properties. These key performance measures include the following:

•	*Gaming revenue measures: slot handle, which means the dollar amount wagered in slot machines, and table game drop, which means the total amount of cash, including digital funds transferred from the players' cashless wallet "BoydPay", deposited in table games drop boxes, plus the sum of markers issued at all table games, are measures of volume and/or market share. Slot win* and table game hold, which mean the difference between customer wagers and customer winnings on slot machines and table games, respectively, represent the amount of wagers retained by us and recorded as gaming revenues. Slot win percentage and table game hold percentage, which are not fully controllable by us, represent the relationship between slot handle to slot win and table game drop to table game hold, respectively.

•	*Food & beverage revenue measures: average guest check, which means the average amount spent per customer visit and is a measure of volume and product offerings; number of guests served* ("food covers"), which is an indicator of volume; and the cost per guest served, which is a measure of operating margin.

•	*Room revenue measures: hotel occupancy rate, which measures the utilization of our available rooms; and average daily rate* ("ADR"), which is a price measure; and the cost per room, which is a measure of operating margin.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

Operating income		244.0		245.1		528.9		496.1
Net income		192.5		146.8		392.2		309.7

Total Revenues

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023increased by $22.5 million, or 2.5%, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to an increase in our online revenue of $28.2 million, including an increase of $15.3 million over the prior year comparable period of revenues from reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased $125.7 million, or 7.2%, as compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to an increase in our online revenue of $96.0 million, including an increase of $69.3 million over the prior year comparable period of revenues from reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners. Online revenues increased year over year due primarily to: (i) the launch of online gaming in Ohio in January 2023; (ii) the increase in revenues from reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses, as discussed above; (iii) organic growth in Pennsylvania as the online market continues to mature; and (iv) the acquisition on November 1, 2022, of Pala Interactive, LLC, our online gaming technology company that provides proprietary solutions on both a B2B and B2C basis. Other than our online operations in Pennsylvania, there was not any revenue associated with these new markets and business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we earned $17.4 million and $37.5 million, respectively, in management fees related to our management agreement with Wilton Rancheria. As Sky River Casino opened on August 15, 2022, there was not any revenue associated with this management agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Offsetting the increase in online revenue and Sky River Casino management fee income, is a decline of $24.2 million and $27.8 million in gaming revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to prior year comparable periods. The decline in gaming revenue is primarily due to softness in retail play throughout all three of our gaming entertainment property segments as the retail player is generally more sensitive to changes in the economy. In addition, we had a strong prior year comparable period particularly in Las Vegas as Las Vegas benefited from the lifting of mask mandates and COVID restrictions for the first full quarter since the COVID closures in 2020.

Operating Income

Operating income remained consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period. While revenues grew by $22.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, $15.3 million of the revenue growth is due to reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners that results in zero operating income as an equal amount of the reimbursement is also recorded as expense. Operating income increased $32.8 million, or 6.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a 7.2% growth in revenues, including the $37.5 million in management fees, as discussed above. Operating income was also favorably impacted by a $20.1 million reduction of the allowance on a note receivable with Wilton Rancheria ("Wilton Note") during first quarter 2023 for development advances over the last 10 years as we evaluated the current expected credit losses after an amendment to Wilton's third-party construction loan in March 2023 that allowed for payments to us to begin in March 2023. Operating income was unfavorably impacted by a $4.5 million increase in impairment of assets related to a goodwill impairment in our Managed & Other category during first quarter 2023. The operating income net increase over the prior year comparable period, was offset by a $12.8 million gain on disposition of assets that favorably impacted operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and did not reoccur during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net Income

Net income increased $45.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 , compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to: (i) a decrease in income tax provision of $31.0 million due primarily to the release of state tax valuation allowances of $35.9 million; (ii) a decrease of $16.5 million in loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt due to the retirement of the remaining $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2025 ("8.625% Senior Notes") during the three months ended June 30, 2022; and (iii) an increase in interest income of $2.2 million due to interest earned on the Wilton Note during the three months ended June 30, 2023 . Net income was unfavorably impacted by a $6.2 million increase in interest expense, which was primarily driven by a 110-basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate over the prior year comparable period.

Net income increased $82.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 , compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to: (i) the $32.8 million increase in operating income, as discussed above; (ii) an increase in interest income of $20.0 million due to an adjustment to the expected loss for interest on the Wilton Note and interest earned on the Wilton Note during the six months ended June 30, 2023 ; (iii) a decrease of $19.8 million in loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt due to the retirement of the remaining $300.0 million 8.625% Senior Notes and the retirement of term loans under a former credit agreement d uring the six months ended June 30, 2022; and (iv) a decrease in the income tax provision of $19.5 million which was driven by the release of state tax valuation allowances of $35.9 million offset by taxes on the Company's increased operational performance. Net income was unfavorably impacted by a $12.5 million increase in interest expense, which was primarily driven by a 120-basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate over the prior year comparable period.

Operating Revenues

We derive the majority of our revenues from our gaming operations, which produced approximately 72% and 77% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 70% and 77% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Online revenues, including reimbursements received from our third-party operators for gaming taxes and other expenses we pay under collaborative arrangements, represent our next most significant revenue source, generating 9% and 6% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 , respectively, and 11% and 6% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively . Food & beverage revenues, room revenues, management fee revenues and other revenues separately contributed 8% or less of revenues during these periods.

Gaming

Gaming revenues are comprised primarily of the net win from our slot machine operations and to a lesser extent from table games win. The decrease in gaming revenues of $24.2 million, or 3.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period, was primarily due to declines in slot handle of 5.1%, slot win of 3.7%, table game drop of 7.1% and table game hold of 5.9%. While core customer play was in line with the prior year, which was the strongest core customer performance in our history, softness in our retail customer, which is more sensitive to changes in the economy, drove gaming revenue declines year over year. In addition, the second quarter of 2022 was particularly strong as Las Vegas benefited from the lifting of mask mandates and COVID restrictions for the first full quarter since the COVID closures in 2020.

The decrease in gaming revenues of $27.8 million, or 2.1%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period, was primarily due to declines in slot handle of 3.0%, slot win of 2.0%, table game drop of 5.6% and table game hold of 6.3%. The decline in gaming revenue is primarily due to softness in the retail customer, as discussed above.

Food & Beverage

Food & beverage revenues remained consistent during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period, however food and beverage margins declined from 18.2% to 16.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in cost per guest served of 6.4%.

Food & beverage revenues increased $7.9 million, or 5.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to an increase in average guest check of 5.4%. Food & beverage margins remained consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to an increase in cost per guest served of 5.9% that offsets the increase in average guest check.

Room

Room revenues remained consistent during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period, however room margins declined from 65.3% to 62.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in cost per room of 10.5%.

Room revenues increased $7.5 million, or 8.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to an increase in average daily rate of 3.2%. Room margins remained consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to an increase in cost per room of 4.9% that offsets the increase in average daily rate.

Online

Online revenues increased $28.2 million and $96.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily driven by the launch of online gaming in Ohio, growth in Pennsylvania and the acquisition of Pala Interactive in the fourth quarter of 2022, all as discussed above. Online revenues include reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners which represented $15.3 million and $69.3 million of the increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods.

Table of Contents

Management fee

Management fee revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $17.4 million and $37.5 million, respectively, relates to our management agreement with Wilton Rancheria to manage the Sky River Casino in northern California. As the Sky River Casino opened on August 15, 2022, there were not any management fees earned under this agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Other

Other revenues relate to patronage visits at the other amenities at our properties, including entertainment and nightclub revenues, retail sales, theater tickets and other venues. Other revenues increased $1.1 million, or 3.4%, and $4.7 million, or 7.3%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase is driven primarily by the Las Vegas Locals and Downtown Las Vegas segments as tourism and convention business has grown over the prior year comparable periods with the lifting of mask mandates and COVID restrictions in February 2022 in Las Vegas.

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by Reportable Segment

We determine each property's profitability based on Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Rent ("Adjusted EBITDAR"), which represents earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent, master lease rent expense, other operating items, net, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt and other items, net, as applicable. Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is the aggregate sum of the Adjusted EBITDAR for each of the gaming entertainment properties comprising our Las Vegas Locals, Downtown Las Vegas and Midwest & South segments and our Online segment. Results for Downtown Las Vegas include the results of our travel agency and captive insurance company in Hawaii. Results for our nonreportable operating segments, including Lattner and our Sky River Casino management fees are aggregated in the Managed & Other category. Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, rent, aircraft expenses and various other expenses that are not directly related to our casino, hotel and online operations. Furthermore, for purposes of this presentation, corporate expense excludes its portion of share-based compensation expense.

EBITDAR is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors and provides our investors a more complete understanding of our operating results before the impact of investing transactions, financing transactions and income taxes. Management has historically adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the 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.

The following table presents total revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by our Reportable Segments and our Managed & Other category to reconcile to total revenues and total Adjusted EBITDAR:

Las Vegas Locals

Total revenues decreased by $5.5 million, or 2.3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year comparable period, due primarily to a $4.9 million decline in gaming revenue. The decrease in gaming revenue was attributable to declines in table game hold of 12.0%, table game drop of 11.2%, slot handle of 6.0% and slot win of 3.8% over the prior year comparable period. While core guest counts grew slightly year over year, softness in play from out-of-town gaming customers and retail customers drove declines in the current year quarter. In addition, the second quarter of 2022 was particularly strong as Las Vegas benefited from the lifting of mask mandates and COVID restrictions for the first full quarter since the COVID closures in 2020.

Total revenues increased by $7.2 million, or 1.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year comparable period, reflecting revenue increases in all departmental categories, except gaming revenue. Room revenue was the primary driver of the growth, increasing $6.1 million due to an increase in hotel occupancy rate of 3.1% and average daily rate of 5.1% over the prior year comparable period. Food & beverage revenue increased by $1.8 million as average guest check increased 6.6% over the prior year comparable period. Other revenue increased $1.4 million, which was primarily driven by increased entertainment over the prior year comparable period with the lifting of COVID restrictions in February 2022. These revenue increases were offset by a decline in gaming revenue of $2.2 million primarily due to a 10.2% decrease in table game hold and a 10.0% decrease in table game drop over the prior year comparable period. Overall, the Las Vegas Locals segment benefited from increased visitation to Las Vegas.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDAR decreased by $6.9 million, or 5.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 , as compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the revenue decline discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDAR remained consistent during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year comparable period. Despite the revenue growth during the six months ended June 30, 2023, adjusted EBITDAR declined primarily due to a change in revenue mix from the most profitable revenue stream to other lower margin non-gaming amenities.

Downtown Las Vegas

Total revenues decreased slightly by $0.9 million, or 1.7% , during the three months ended June 30, 2023 , as compared to the prior year comparable period. Total revenues increased $6.2 million, or 6.0% , during the six months ended June 30, 2023 , as compared to the corresponding prior year period, reflecting revenue increases in all departmental categories. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the hotel occupancy rate increased 120 basis points with 80 basis points of the increase related to our Hawaiian customers. I ncreased visitation to downtown Las Vegas drove a 7.6% increase in room revenue. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 , particularly during the first quarter of 2023, were also impacted by Fremont's new food hall, expanded slot offering and FanDuel sportsbook, which debuted in December 2022. After the debut of these new amenities in December 2022, we began work on a renovation of the Fremont's gaming floor and accelerated this renovation and related disruption during the second quarter of 2023 and the slower summer season. This renovation, along with a Main Street hotel remodel that resulted in only 20% of Main Street's rooms being available during the quarter, drove the declines during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDAR decreased by $2.5 million, or 11.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 , as compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the revenue decline and construction disruption, as discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDAR increased $1.5 million, or 3.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year comparable period, due primarily to revenue growth from the Hawaiian customer, increased visitation to the downtown area and our recent investments at Fremont, as discussed above.

Midwest & South

Total revenues decreased by $16.1 million, or 3.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to a $17.4 million decline in gaming revenue. The decrease in gaming revenue was attributable to declines in table game hold of 3.6%, table game drop of 4.2%, slot handle of 4.7% and slot win of 3.6% over the prior year comparable period. The gaming revenue decline is driven by continued softness in Louisiana and Mississippi as well as softness in the retail customer throughout our markets.

Total revenues decreased by $21.0 million, or 2.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to a $27.9 million decline in gaming revenue. The decrease in gaming revenue was attributable to declines in table game hold of 5.3%, table game drop of 2.8%, slot handle of 3.0% and slot win of 2.4% over the prior year comparable period. The gaming revenue decline is driven primarily by our properties in Louisiana and Mississippi and softness in those overall markets, particularly in the first quarter with trends improving sequentially from the first to second quarter, as well as overall softness in the retail customer throughout the segment. Offsetting the gaming revenue decline, was an increase in food & beverage revenue of $5.7 million, which was driven by a 4.3% increase in average guest check.

Adjusted EBITDAR decreased by $17.0 million, or 7.8%, and $30.5 million, or 7.1%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, due primarily to the gaming revenue declines, as discussed above.

Online

Online revenues increased $28.2 million and $96.0 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily driven by the launch of online gaming in Ohio, growth in Pennsylvania and the acquisition of Pala Interactive in the fourth quarter of 2022, all as discussed above. Online revenues include reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners which represented $15.3 million and $69.3 million of the increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods.

Adjusted EBITDAR increased by $5.7 million and $17.5 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to the increase in revenue, excluding reimbursements of gaming taxes paid on behalf of our online partners.

Managed & Other

Total reven ues increased by $16.8 million and $37.3 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to $17.4 million and $37.5 million in Sky River Casino management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively .

Adjusted EBITDAR increased by $17.0 million and $36.2 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 , respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to $17.4 million and $37.5 million in Sky River Casino management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively .

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were consistent, as a percentage of revenues, and were 10.8% and 10.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 10.6% and 10.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We continue to focus on our disciplined operating model and targeted marketing approach.

Master Lease Rent Expense

Master lease rent expense represents rent expense incurred by four of our properties which are subject to two master lease agreements with a real estate investment trust. Master lease rent expense remained generally flat period over period at $27.1 million and $26.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $53.9 million and $53.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Maintenance and Utilities

Maintenance and utilities expenses, as a percentage of revenues, remained consistent at 4.1% and 3.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 3.9% and 3.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses, as a percentage of revenu es, were 6.8% and 7.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 6.6% and 7.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decline as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to an increase in revenue during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 from the online segment and from management fees, both of which have limited fixed assets.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, rent, aircraft expenses and various other expenses that are not directly related to our casino, hotel and online operations, in addition to the corporate portion of share-based compensation expense. Corporate expense was generally consistent and represented 3.5% and 3.9% of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 3.2% and 3.6% of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Contributing to the slight decline, as a percentage of revenues, is management fee revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Project Development, Preopening and Writedowns

Project development, preopening and writedowns represent: (i) certain costs incurred and recoveries realized related to the activities associated with various acquisition opportunities, strategic initiatives, dispositions and other business development activities in the ordinary course of business; (ii) certain costs of start-up activities that are expensed as incurred in our ongoing efforts to develop gaming activities in new jurisdictions and expenses related to other new business development activities that do not qualify as capital costs; (iii) asset writedowns; and (iv) realized gains arising from asset dispositions. Such costs are generally nonrecurring in nature and vary from period to period as the volume of underlying activities fluctuates. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $4.1 million related to preopening costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company benefited from a $20.1 million reduction of the allowance on the Wilton Note for development advances over the last 10 years offset by preopening costs of $5.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company benefited from a $12.8 million gain on disposition of assets offset by Pala Interactive acquisition-related costs of $2.3 million.

Impairment of Assets

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of our first quarter impairment review, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.5 million for goodwill related to our Managed & Other category.

Other Operating Items, net

Other operating items, net, is generally comprised of miscellaneous non-recurring operating charges, including severance payments to separated employees, natural disasters and severe weather impact, including hurricane and flood expenses, and subsequent recoveries of such costs, as applicable.

Other Expenses

Interest Expense, net

The following table summarizes information with respect to our interest expense on outstanding indebtedness:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
*(In millions)*	2023			2022			2023			2022
Interest Expense, Net of Capitalized Interest and Interest Income	$	40.0		$	36.0		$	65.7		$	73.2
Average Long-Term Debt Balance (1)		2,966.0			3,032.7			3,000.6			3,052.5
Weighted Average Interest Rates		5.4	%		4.3	%		5.4	%		4.2	%

⁽¹⁾ Average debt balance calculation does not include the related discounts or deferred finance charges.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased $4.0 million, or 11.2%, from the prior year comparable period primarily due to a $6.2 million interest expense increase driven by a 110-basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate offset by a $66.7 million decline in the weighted average debt balance. The increase in interest expense is offset by a $2.2 million interest income increase driven by interest earned on the Wilton Note during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased $7.5 million, or 10.2%, from the prior year comparable period primarily due to a $20.0 million interest income increase driven by a reduction of the allowance for the expected loss for interest on the Wilton Note and interest earned on such note during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in interest income is offset by a $12.5 million interest expense increase driven by a 120-basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate offset by a $51.9 million decline in the weighted average debt balance.

Loss on Early Extinguishments and Modifications of Debt

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $16.5 million in loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt due to the redemption of $300.0 million of our 8.625% Senior Notes, of which $12.9 million related to premium fees paid and $3.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance charges. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $3.3 million in loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt as a result of entering into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") that replaced the then existing credit agreement. The $3.3 million incurred related to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance charges associated with the portion accounted for as a debt extinguishment.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 15.2% and 22.5%, respectively. Our tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was favorably impacted by a $35.9 million release of state valuation allowances, the inclusion of excess tax benefits which were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of state taxes and certain nondeductible expenses, as a component of the provision for income taxes. Our tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was unfavorably impacted by state taxes and certain nondeductible expenses which were partially offset by the inclusion of excess tax benefits, related to equity compensation, as a component of the provision for income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial Position

We generally operate with minimal or negative levels of working capital in order to minimize borrowings and related interest costs. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had balances of cash and cash equivalents of $260.8 million and $283.5 million, respectively. In addition, we held restricted cash balances of $11.6 million at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Our working capital deficit at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $87.5 million and $107.9 million, respectively.

We believe that current cash balances together with the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in "Indebtedness" below) and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital resource needs for the next twelve months, including our projected operating requirements and maintenance capital expenditures. See "Indebtedness", below, for further detail regarding funds available through our Credit Facility.

The Company may also seek to secure additional working capital, repay respective current debt maturities, or fund respective development projects, in whole or in part, through incremental bank financing and additional debt or equity offerings, to the extent such offerings are allowed under our debt agreements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated operating cash flow of $463.3 million and $456.2 million, respectively. Generally, operating cash flows increased during 2023 as compared to the prior year period due to $8.5 million received related to interest earned on the Wilton Note.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our industry is capital intensive and we use cash flows for acquisitions, facility expansions, investments in future development or business opportunities and maintenance capital expenditures.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred net cash outflows for investing activities of $124.0 million comprised of capital expenditures of $171.4 million, primarily related to our Treasure Chest land-based casino project, Fremont food hall, slot floor expansion and renovation, various guest room remodels, IT equipment and building projects at various properties offset by $49.7 million in payments received related to the outstanding principal on the Wilton Note. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred net cash outflows for investing activities of $77.3 million comprised of capital expenditures of $98.7 million, primarily related to furniture and equipment purchases and building projects at various properties, offset by $21.4 million in proceeds from disposition of assets.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We rely on our financing cash flows to provide funding for investment opportunities, repayments of obligations and ongoing operations.

The net cash outflows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflect share repurchases, payments on the outstanding principal under our Credit Facility, share-based compensation and dividends paid. The net cash outflows from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily reflect share repurchases, the retirement of the 8.625% Senior Notes, payment of the associated premium fees related to the retirement of the 8.625% Senior Notes, debt financing costs related to the new Credit Agreement and dividends paid, offset by an increase in the outstanding principal under the Credit Facility (see "Indebtedness").

Amounts Outstanding

The outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility are comprised of the following:

	June 30,		December 31,
*(In millions)*	2023		2022
Revolving credit facility	$	200.0	$	285.0
Term A loan		825.0		847.0
Swing loan		53.5		55.8
Total outstanding principal amounts	$	1,078.5	$	1,187.8

With a total revolving credit commitment of $1,450.0 million available under the Credit Facility, $200.0 million and $53.5 million in borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Swing Loan, respectively, and $13.8 million allocated to support various letters of credit, there is a remaining contractual availability under the Credit Facility of $1,182.7 million as of June 30, 2023.

The blended interest rate for outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was 6.7% at June 30, 2023 and 6.2% at December 31, 2022.

Debt Service Requirements

Debt service requirements for the Term A Loan include amortization in an annual amount equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount thereof, payable on a quarterly basis. Additionally, under the Credit Facility we have monthly to quarterly interest payment obligations, depending on the rates we lock in, for the Term A Loan, unused line interest payments and any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, including the Swing Loan. Debt service requirements under our current outstanding senior notes consist of semi-annual interest payments (based upon a fixed annual interest rate of 4.750%) and principal repayments of our $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2027 ("4.750% Senior Notes due 2027") and our $0.9 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2031 ("4.750% Senior Notes due 2031").

Covenant Compliance

As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of our debt instruments.

The indentures governing the senior notes contain provisions that allow for the incurrence of additional indebtedness, if after giving effect to such incurrence, the fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the respective indentures, which is a ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges, including interest) for the trailing four quarter period on a pro forma basis would be at least 2.0 to 1.0. Should this provision prohibit the incurrence of additional debt, we may still borrow under our existing Credit Facility to the extent that borrowing capacity remains under that agreement, as well as from other funding sources as provided under our debt agreements.

Share Repurchase Programs

Subject to applicable corporate securities laws, repurchases under our share repurchase program may be made at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate. We are subject to certain limitations regarding the repurchase of common stock, such as restricted payment limitations related to our outstanding Senior Notes and our Credit Facility. Purchases under our share repurchase program can be discontinued at any time that we feel additional purchases are not warranted. We intend to fund the repurchases under the stock repurchase program with existing cash resources, cash generated from operations and availability under our Credit Facility.

On October 21, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of $300.0 million (the "Share Repurchase Program"). In addition, our Board of Directors authorized increases to the Share Repurchase Program of $500.0 million on June 1, 2022, and $500.0 million on May 4, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, we were authorized to repurchase up to an additional $532.6 million in shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under this program, and purchases under the Share Repurchase Program can be discontinued at any time at our sole discretion. We repurchased 1.5 million and 3.0 million shares during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 3.2 million and 5.1 million shares during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

We have in the past, and may in the future, acquire our debt or equity securities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine.

Other Items Affecting Liquidity

We anticipate funding our capital requirements using cash on hand, cash being generated from our operations and availability under our Credit Facility, to the extent borrowing capacity exists after we meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. Any additional financing that is needed may not be available to us or, if available, may not be on terms favorable to us. The outcome of the specific matters discussed herein, including our commitments and contingencies, may also affect our liquidity.

Commitments

Capital Spending and Development

We currently estimate that our annual cash capital requirements to perform ongoing refurbishment and maintenance at our properties is approximately $240 million to $260 million. We fund our capital expenditures through cash on hand, our Credit Facility and operating cash flows.

Table of Contents

In addition to the maintenance capital spending discussed above, we continue to pursue other potential development projects that may require us to invest significant amounts of capital, including construction of a land-based facility at Treasure Chest which will replace our existing riverboat and renovating the Fremont slot floor, the last phase of the Fremont project. Both of these projects are in addition to our maintenance capital spending, and we expect to spend $100 million during 2023 related to these projects.

Other Opportunities

We regularly investigate and pursue additional expansion opportunities in markets where casino gaming is currently permitted. We also pursue expansion opportunities in jurisdictions where casino and online gaming is not currently permitted in order to be prepared to develop projects upon approval of casino or online gaming. Such expansions will be affected and determined by several key factors, which may include the following:

	•	the outcome of gaming license selection processes;
	•	the approval of gaming in jurisdictions where we have been active but where casino or online gaming is not currently permitted;
	•	identification of additional suitable investment opportunities in current gaming jurisdictions; and
	•	availability of acceptable financing.

Additional projects may require us to make substantial investments or may cause us to incur substantial costs related to the investigation and pursuit of such opportunities, which we may fund through cash flow from operations or availability under our Credit Facility. To the extent such sources of funds are not sufficient, we may also seek to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings or from other sources to the extent such financing is available.

Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that all pending claims, if adversely decided, would not have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk, specifically long-term U.S. treasury rates and the applicable spreads in the high-yield investment market, short-term and long-term SOFR rates, and their potential impact on our long-term debt. We are exposed to a lesser extent to foreign currency exchange risk for funds held in our Canadian operating and restricted cash accounts. While there is risk of fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and US dollar, our exposure is limited given the size of our Canadian operations and the minimal amount of cash held in Canadian bank accounts. A weakening or strengthening of the US dollar to the Canadian dollar by 2x the current conversion rate, would not cause the value of the funds held in the Canadian operating and restricted cash accounts to change significantly. We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of June 30, 2023, our long-term variable-rate borrowings represented approximately 36.2% of total long-term debt. Based on June 30, 2023 debt levels, a 100 basis point change in the interest rate would cause our annual interest costs on variable-rate borrowings to change by approximately $10.8 million. We believe there have been no other material changes in our exposure to market risks as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Report"), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
