For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net revenues were $1.44 billion, an increase of 14.4% compared to $1.26 billion for the prior year period. Contributing to the increase for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 is our Durango property which opened on December 5, 2023.

The increase in interest expense was primarily due to capitalized interest in the prior year periods, as well as an increase in borrowings for the current year periods. We expect that the variable interest rates on our credit facility may continue to fluctuate in response to macroeconomic conditions. On March 14, 2024, we completed a series of refinancing transactions pursuant to which we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and issued $500 million of 6.625% senior notes due 2032 (the “6.625% Senior Notes”). The proceeds of the 6.625% Senior Notes, together with borrowings under the Credit Agreement, were used to repay all amounts outstanding under our existing credit facility, pay fees and costs associated with the transactions, and for general corporate purposes. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the refinancing transactions as well as our other long-term debt.

Inflation
Previous report
Our business continues to experience the impact of inflation and higher interest rates and we expect the impact to continue through the remainder of 2024. Commodity prices have increased and become more volatile, and we continue to experience price inflation in ordinary goods and services such as food costs, supplies, energy costs and construction costs. In addition, we have been impacted by a shortage of qualified workers which places additional upward pressure on wages and benefit costs as we seek to attract and retain qualified workers. We attempt to minimize the impact of inflation on our business by implementing cost controls, adjusting prices and optimizing our procurement strategy.

Our principal source of revenue and operating income is gaming, and our non-gaming offerings include restaurants, hotels and other entertainment amenities. Approximately 80% to 85% of our casino revenue is generated from slot play. The majority of our revenue is cash-based and as a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flows from operations. Because our business is capital intensive, we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing and fund capital expenditures.

A significant portion of our business is dependent upon customers who live and/or work in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. In September 2024, the unemployment rate in the Las Vegas metropolitan area was 5.9% as compared to 5.7% in September 2023. Statewide, the unemployment rate for September 2024 was 5.6% as compared to 5.4% in September 2023. In September 2024, the median price of an existing single-family home in Las Vegas according to the Las Vegas Realtors® was $479,900, up 6.6% from $450,000 in September 2023. In light of uncertainty in the economic outlook stemming from inflation, higher interest rates, increased energy costs and increased geo-political and regional conflicts, we cannot predict whether the trend in unemployment or the trend in housing prices in the Las Vegas area will continue.

However, we cannot predict whether these trends will continue, nor can we predict the extent to which impacts of inflation, increased energy costs and interest rate fluctuations may affect our business in the future.
