Segment Reporting

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company hasthree operating and reportable segments: Casinos & Resorts, International Interactive and North America Interactive. The “Corporate & Other” category includes interest expense, select immaterial operating segments, unallocated corporate operating expenses, and other adjustments, such as the elimination of inter-segment transactions, to reconcile with the Company's consolidated results. This category further accounts for other expenses such as share-based compensation, acquisition and transaction costs, and other non-recurring charges.

The Company’sthree reportable segments as of December 31, 2024 include:

Casinos & Resorts - Includes the Company’s 15 casino and resort properties, one horse racetrack andone golf course.

International Interactive - Includes the Company’s interactive European gaming operations, the Company’s global licensing revenue generating operations, as well as one casino property, Bally's Newcastle, in the UK.

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

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Executive Committee, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer. The Company uses consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR to analyze the performance of its business and they are used as determining factors for performance-based compensation for members of the Company’s management team. The Company uses consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating the operating performance of the business because management believes that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a more fulsome understanding of the core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period performance.

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.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s operations were predominately in the US and Europe, 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 28% and 6%,25% and 11%, and 25% and 12% of total revenue, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company does not have any revenues from any individual customers that exceed 10% of total reported revenues.

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.

(3) Costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement discussed in Note 1 “General Information.”

(4) In the third quarter, the Company recorded a $6.3 million charge to reduce amounts due from payment service providers (“PSP”) due to a circumstance whereby the payment processer for certain online sports wagering deposits failed to capture and settle funds with patrons of the Company. The Company was not able to recover the full amount due from the payment service provider, resulting in a write down to the recoverable amount. In addition to amounts recovered, the Company received $5.1 million from the PSP as a signing bonus for entering into an extension agreement.

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, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the shares underlying the Performance Warrants were anti-dilutive as certain contingencies were not met. Refer to Note 15 “Strategic Partnership - Sinclair Broadcast Group” for further information.
