Segment Reporting

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company hasthree operating and reportable segments: Casinos & Resorts, International Interactive and North America Interactive. The “Other” category includes interest expense for the Company and certain unallocated corporate operating expenses and other adjustments, including eliminations of transactions among segments to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated results including, among other expenses, share-based compensation, acquisition and other transaction costs and certain non-recurring charges.

The Company’sthree reportable segments as of December 31, 2023 are:

Casinos & Resorts - Includes the Company’s 16 casino and resort properties, one horse racetrack andone golf course.

International Interactive - Gamesys’ European and Asian operations.

North America Interactive - A portfolio of sports betting, iGaming, and free-to-play gaming brands, and the North American operations of Gamesys.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s operations were predominately in the US, Europe and Asia with a less substantive footprint in other countries world-wide. For geographical reporting purposes, revenue generated outside of the US has been aggregated into the International Interactive reporting segment, and consists primarily of revenue from the UK and Japan. Revenue generated from the UK and Japan represented approximately 25% and 11%,25% and 12%, and 11% and 6% of total revenue, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company does not have any revenues from any individual customers that exceed 10% of total reported revenues.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company updated its measure of segment performance to Adjusted EBITDAR (defined below) from Adjusted EBITDA. The prior year results presented below were reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation. Management believes segment Adjusted EBITDAR is representative of its ongoing business operations including its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations, in addition to it being a commonly used measure of performance in the gaming industry and used by industry analysts to evaluate operations and operating performance.

The following table sets forth revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR for the Company’sthree reportable segments and reconciles Adjusted EBITDAR on a consolidated basis to net loss. The Other category is included in the following tables in order to reconcile the segment information to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On November 18, 2020, the Company issued Penny Warrants, Performance Warrants and Options which participate in dividends with the Company’s common stock subject to certain contingencies. In the period in which the contingencies are met, those instruments are participating securities to which income will be allocated using the two-class method. The Performance Warrants and Options do not participate in net losses. The Penny Warrants were considered exercisable for little to no consideration and are therefore included in basic shares outstanding at their issuance date. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the shares underlying the Performance Warrants were anti-dilutive as certain contingencies were not met. Refer to Note 14 “Strategic Partnership - Sinclair Broadcast Group” for further information.
