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 27 gaming entertainment properties. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, we have gaming entertainment properties in Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. In addition, we own and operate Boyd Interactive, a business-to-business and business-to-consumer online casino gaming business. We also manage the Sky River Casino located in California under a management agreement with Wilton Rancheria. We have the following four reportable segments: (i) Las Vegas Locals; (ii) Downtown Las Vegas; (iii) Midwest & South; and (iv) Online, (collectively "Reportable Segments"). The Las Vegas Locals, Downtown Las Vegas and Midwest & South segments include the operating results of our gaming entertainment properties. 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. The Online segment includes the operating results of our online gaming business ("Boyd Interactive") and online market access fees through our agreements with third parties throughout the United States. 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").

Most of our gaming entertainment properties also include a hotel, restaurants, bars, a 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 gaming entertainment 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 a player's cashless "BoydPay" wallet, 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 operations to generate operating cash flow to fund maintenance capital expenditures, pay income taxes, repay debt financing and associated interest costs, repurchase our debt or equity securities, pay dividends, and provide excess cash for future development and to help fund acquisitions.
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 with a focus on maximizing gaming revenues while operating as efficiently as possible.
Balance Sheet Strength
We are committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and finding opportunities to diversify and increase our cash flow. We are also committed to a balanced capital allocation approach with our cash flows, with a current emphasis on investing in our business and returning capital to shareholders.
Evaluating Acquisition and Growth 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, developing 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 superior "Boyd Style" 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 through our "Boyd Rewards" loyalty program. Our players use their Boyd Rewards cards to earn and redeem points at all of our gaming entertainment properties and online casino gaming offerings. Boyd Rewards, among other benefits, rewards players for their loyalty by entitling them to qualify for promotions and monetary discounts, earn rewards toward gaming and nongaming activities and receive benefits such as vacations and luxury gifts.

Our Key Performance Indicators
We use several key performance measures to evaluate the operations of our gaming entertainment 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 "BoydPay" wallets, deposited in table games drop boxes, plus the sum of the markers issued at all table games, are measures of volume and/or market share. Slot win and table game hold, which refers to the amount of money wagered on slot machines and table games, respectively, that is retained by us and recorded as gaming revenues. This figure represents the difference between total wagers made by customers and the winnings they receive on slot machines and table games. Slot win percentage and table game hold percentage are not fully controllable by us and 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; average daily rate ("ADR"), which is a price measure; and the cost per room, which is a measure of operating margin.

Total Revenues
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $0.4 million compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to (i) an increase in gaming revenues of $11.8 million, or 1.8%, driven by an increase in slot win of 2.4% and slot handle of 1.6%; (ii) an increase in management fee revenue of $4.7 million related to our management of Sky River Casino; (iii) an increase in Boyd Interactive revenues of $6.5 million, driven by the acquisition of Design Works Studios, LLC ("Design Works") on April 1, 2026, as discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and organic growth from existing operations; partially offset by (iv) a decrease in online reimbursements revenue of $7.6 million, which relates to reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners; and (v) a decrease in revenue from market access agreements of $13.9 million, resulting from the termination of certain agreements starting in the third quarter of 2025 in connection with the FanDuel Equity Sale (as defined below) and in some instances, entry into new agreements at lower rates than those terminated.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $6.2 million, or 0.3%, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to (i) an increase in gaming revenues of $23.6 million, or 1.8%, driven by an increase in slot win of 2.4% and slot handle of 1.6%; (ii) an increase of $5.8 million related to the Sky River Casino management fee; (iii) an increase in Boyd Interactive revenues of $7.9 million, driven by the Design Works acquisition on April 1, 2026 and organic growth from existing operations; partially offset by (iv) a decrease in revenue from market access agreements of $28.9 million, resulting from the termination of certain agreements starting in the third quarter of 2025 in connection with the FanDuel Equity Sale and in some instances, entry into new agreements at lower rates than those terminated.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased by $41.7 million, or 17.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to (i) an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $21.1 million, driven by: the completion of our meeting and convention space at Ameristar St. Charles in the third quarter of 2025, the opening of the transitional casino in Norfolk, Virginia in November 2025, the opening of Cadence Crossing in March 2026, investments in technology throughout 2025, hotel room renovations and new food & beverage concepts at multiple properties during the latter half of 2025 and into the first half of 2026; (ii) an increase in project development, preopening and writedowns expense of $12.6 million, which was driven by an $8.8 million increase in costs related to demolition and asset writedowns and a $3.8 million increase in preopening costs; and (iii) a $13.9 million decrease in revenue from our market access agreements, as discussed above. Market access fee revenue has minimal expenses associated with it such that an increase or decrease in market access fee revenue will have a greater impact on operating income than increases or decreases in other revenue streams.
Operating income decreased by $77.6 million, or 17.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to (i) an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $47.9 million, which was driven by: the completion of our meeting and convention space at Ameristar St. Charles in the third quarter of 2025, the opening of the transitional casino in Norfolk, Virginia in November 2025, the opening of Cadence Crossing in March 2026, investments in technology throughout 2025, hotel room renovations and new food & beverage concepts at multiple properties during the latter half of 2025 and into the first half of 2026; (ii) an increase in project development, preopening and writedowns expense of $34.4 million, which was driven by a $29.5 million increase in costs related to demolition and asset writedowns and a $4.9 million increase in preopening costs; (iii) a $28.9 million decrease in revenue from our market access agreements, as market access fee revenue has minimal expenses associated with it, as discussed above; partially offset by (iv) a $32.3 million decrease in impairment of assets, as the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $32.3 million during the first quarter of 2025 related to property and equipment in the Las Vegas Locals segment.
Net Income
Net income decreased
$20.4
million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2026
, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the $41.7 million decrease in operating income, as discussed above, partially offset by a $19.1 million decrease in interest expense, which was driven by a $1.1 billion decrease in the weighted average outstanding debt balance combined with a 60-basis point decline in the weighted average interest rate. The decline in the weighted average outstanding debt balance was due to the full repayment of the then outstanding balances under the Prior Credit Facility in the third quarter of 2025 totaling $1,680.9 million with the proceeds from the sale of our 5% equity interest in FanDuel ("FanDuel Equity Sale"), partially offset by the $559.4 million of average outstanding principal under the Credit Facility during the second quarter of 2026 (Prior Credit Facility and Credit Facility are as defined below in "Liquidity and Capital Resources -
Indebtedness
").

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 increase in gaming revenues of $11.8 million, or 1.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year comparable period, was primarily due to increases in slot win of 2.4% and slot handle of 1.6%.
Gaming revenues increased $23.6 million, or 1.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to increases in slot win of 2.4% and slot handle of 1.6%.
Food & Beverage
Food & beverage revenues decreased $0.5 million, or 0.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a 2.6% decrease in food covers. Food & beverage margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026, decreased to 13.8% from 16.1% for the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a 2.4% increase in cost per guest served.
Food & beverage revenues increased $1.1 million, or 0.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to an increase in average guest check of 1.4%. Food & beverage margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased to 14.1% from 15.3% for the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a 2.8% increase in cost per guest served.
Room
Room revenues decreased $1.0 million, or 2.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a 1.4% decrease in hotel occupancy rate. Room margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026, decreased to 60.7% from 62.1% for the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a 3.1% increase in cost per room.

Table of Contents
Online
Online revenues decreased $7.3 million and $21.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods driven by a decline in revenue from market access agreements of $13.9 million and $28.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, due to the termination of certain market access agreements starting in the third quarter of 2025 in connection with the FanDuel Equity Sale and in some instances, entry into new agreements at lower rates than those terminated. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in Boyd Interactive revenues of $6.5 million and $7.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods primarily driven by the Design Works acquisition on April 1, 2026 and organic growth from existing operations. Online margins decreased as compared to the prior year comparable periods for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, to 34.0% from 58.7% and 33.4% from 58.8%, respectively, due primarily to the changes in our market access agreements starting in the third quarter of 2025. The fees we receive under our market access agreements generate high margin revenues as we incur minimal costs related to such agreements. As such, the lower market access fees we now receive from the new agreements had an unfavorable impact on online margins as compared to the prior year, and we expect these lower margins to continue.
Online reimbursements
Online reimbursements revenues decreased $7.6 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods, and represent a decrease in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners. The decline was driven by the termination of certain market access agreements as discussed above.
Management fee
Management fee revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 of $28.5 million and $23.8 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 of $54.7 million and $48.9 million, respectively, relate to our management agreement with Wilton Rancheria to manage the Sky River Casino in northern California.
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 $0.2 million, or 0.6%, and $0.8 million, or 1.1%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the prior year comparable periods.
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by Reportable Segment
We determine profitability based on Adjusted EBITDAR, which represents earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent, master lease rent expense, other operating items, net, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedowns expense, impairment of assets, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and other items, net, as applicable ("Adjusted EBITDAR"). Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is the aggregate sum of the Adjusted EBITDAR for each of the gaming entertainment properties included in 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 located 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, charitable contributions, 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 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 table presents total revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by Reportable Segment and our Managed & Other category to reconcile to total revenues and total Adjusted EBITDAR:

Adjusted EBITDAR increased by $7.3 million, or 3.6%, and $16.8 million, or 4.4%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the prior year comparable periods, due primarily to the gaming revenue increases, as discussed above.
Online
Online segment revenues decreased $14.9 million, or 8.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily driven by a $13.9 million decrease in revenue from market access agreements primarily due to the termination of certain agreements and entry into certain new agreements, as discussed above, and a $7.6 million decrease in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners. Partially offsetting these declines was a $6.5 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year comparable period, which was driven by the Design Works acquisition on April 1, 2026 and organic growth from existing operations.
Online segment revenues decreased by $22.7 million, or 6.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a $28.9 million decrease in revenue from market access agreements primarily due to the termination of certain agreements and entry into certain new agreements, as discussed above, and a $1.7 million decrease in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners. Partially offsetting these declines was a $7.9 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year comparable period, which was driven by the Design Works acquisition on April 1, 2026 and organic growth from existing operations.

10.8% during the
six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 $28.9 million and $28.4 million during the
three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and
$57.4 million and
$56.6 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

3.7% during both the
six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $91.1 million and $70.0 million during the
three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
, respectively, and $186.1 million and
$138.2
million during the
six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
, respectively. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year comparable periods, was primarily attributable to completion of our meeting and convention space at Ameristar St. Charles in the third quarter of 2025, the opening of the transitional casino in Norfolk, Virginia in November 2025, the opening of Cadence Crossing in March 2026, investments in technology throughout 2025, hotel room renovations and new food & beverage concepts at multiple properties during the latter half of 2025 and into the first half of 2026.
Corporate Expense
Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, charitable contributions, 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
3.2%
and
3.4%

three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
, respectively, and 3.4%
and 3.2%
of revenues during the
six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
, respectively. The growth in corporate expense during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year comparable period, was driven primarily by one-time compensation costs incurred during the first quarter of 2026.
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) realized losses arising from asset dispositions and asset disposal
costs; 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, 2026
, project development, preopening and writedowns included $9.8 million of costs incurred related to demolition and asset writedowns and $5.6 million in preopening costs. During the three months ended
June 30, 2025
, project development, preopening and writedowns included $1.8 million in preopening costs and $0.9 million related to asset writedowns. During the

Other Expense (Income)
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) 2026 2025 2026 2025
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income $ 30.1 $ 49.3 $ 56.7 $ 96.9
Average long-term debt balance (1) 2,459.4 3,555.9 2,339.2 3,474.9
Weighted average interest rates 4.8 % 5.4 % 4.8 % 5.4 %
(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, 2026, decreased $19.2 million, or 38.9%, from the prior year comparable period and was primarily driven by a decrease in the weighted average debt balance of $1.1 billion and an approximate 60-basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, and the weighted average debt balance were favorably impacted by the retirement in the third quarter of 2025 of $1,680.9 million of then outstanding debt under the Prior Credit Facility with the proceeds from the FanDuel Equity Sale, as discussed above.
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased $40.2 million, or 41.5%, from the prior year comparable period and was primarily driven by a decrease in the weighted average debt balance of $1.1 billion and an approximate 60-basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, and the weighted average debt balance were favorably impacted by the retirement in the third quarter of 2025 of $1,680.9 million of then outstanding debt under the Prior Credit Facility with the proceeds from the FanDuel Equity Sale, as discussed above.
Early Extinguishments and Modifications of Debt
As the borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement equals or exceeds that under the Prior Credit Agreement and the lenders under the Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the lenders under the Prior Credit Agreement, we accounted for the Prior Credit Facility termination as a modification of debt in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for debt extinguishments and debt modifications. As a result, $3.3 million of unamortized deferred finance charges related to the Prior Credit Agreement were added to the $16.1 million of deferred finance charges incurred under the Credit Agreement and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. The remaining $0.4 million of unamortized deferred finance charges corresponding to the percentage of lenders under the Prior Credit Agreement that did not continue to participate under the Credit Agreement is included in loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2026. There was no loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2025. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Indebtedness" for further discussion and definitions for Prior Credit Facility, Prior Credit Agreement, Revolving Credit Facility and Credit Agreement.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rates during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 23.8% and 24.3%, respectively. Our tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was unfavorably impacted by state taxes, nondeductible compensation and company provided benefits, which were partially offset by excess tax benefits related to equity compensation and tax credits. Our tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was unfavorably impacted by state taxes, nondeductible compensation, including a one-time discrete charge which was partially offset by excess tax benefits related to equity compensation and tax credits.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Certain provisions of the OBBBA such as the modification of limitation on business interest expense, 100% bonus depreciation and disallowance of business-related meals were included in our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Overall, these changes did not have a significant impact to our effective tax rate.
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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $322.7 million and $353.4 million, respectively. In addition, we held restricted cash balances of $6.1 million and $5.4 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our working capital deficit at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $141.0 million and $448.5 million, respectively. The decrease in our working capital deficit from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 is driven by payments totaling $341.0 million for transferable federal energy tax credits purchased in 2025, as discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
We believe that current cash balances together with the available borrowing capacity under our 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, 2026 and 2025, we generated operating cash flows of $110.8 million and $461.4 million, respectively. The decline is primarily attributable to $341.0 million in payments for transferable federal energy tax credits during the six months ended June 30, 2026 that were used primarily for federal tax obligations associated with the FanDuel Equity Sale.
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, 2026, we had net cash outflows used in investing activities of $343.7 million comprised primarily of: (i) capital expenditures of $297.1 million, which related to our casino developments in Norfolk, Virginia and new Cadence Crossing casino, guestroom renovations, primarily at the Orleans, Suncoast casino modernization, slot machines, IT equipment and building projects at various properties; and (ii) $46.8 million related to the Design Works acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred net cash outflows for investing activities of $375.9 million comprised primarily of: (i) capital expenditures of $294.3 million, which related to our various guest room remodels, meeting and convention space expansion at Ameristar St. Charles, casino development in Norfolk, Virginia and new Cadence Crossing casino, slot machines, land, IT equipment and building projects at various properties; (ii) cash paid for gaming license right of $41.5 million; and (iii) advances made under a note receivable of $31.8 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We rely on our financing cash flows to provide funding for investment opportunities, repayments of obligations, returning capital to shareholders and ongoing operations.
The net cash inflows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 are primarily driven by the net borrowings on the Credit Facility of $566.1 million. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and used initial borrowings to retire amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility and pay debt financing costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company borrowed $400.0 million under the Term A Loan Facility and incurred net borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which were primarily used to fund the transferable federal energy tax credit payments, as discussed above, and share repurchases. See 'Indebtedness' below for further discussion. This net borrowing is partially offset by $311.1 million of share repurchases and $28.8 million of dividends paid. The net cash outflows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily driven by net borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility, partially offset by share repurchases and dividends paid. During the first half of 2025, we increased borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility as we increased our share repurchase activity during the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in net borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility of $387.8 million driven by $433.0 million in share repurchases.

Bank Credit Facility
Credit Agreement
On January 21, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among the Company, certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (the "Guarantors"), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and letter of credit issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as swingline lender, and certain other financial institutions party thereto as lenders. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Credit Agreement dated as of March 2, 2022 ("Prior Credit Agreement"), among the Company, certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and letter of credit issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as swingline lender, and certain other financial institutions party thereto as lenders.
The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $1,450.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and (ii) a $1,200.0 million senior secured term A loan delayed draw facility (the "Term A Loan Facility", and the loans thereunder, the "Term A Loans", and the Term A Loan Facility collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Loan Facility mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date ("Maturity Date") or earlier upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, including a springing maturity on September 1, 2027 ("Springing Maturity Date") if the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2027 ("4.750% Senior Notes due 2027") have not been refinanced with a maturity date that is 91 days after the Maturity Date. The Company may use availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Loan Facility to refinance the 4.750% Senior Notes due 2027 to satisfy the 4.750% Senior Notes due 2027 refinance requirements prior to the Springing Maturity Date and upon doing so, the Springing Maturity Date is no longer applicable and the Credit Facility maturity reverts to the Maturity Date. Term A Loans are available to be drawn until July 1, 2027 in up to a maximum of four borrowings, provided that, on February 1, 2026, the remaining borrowings available under the Term A Loan Facility will be reduced by an amount equal to the greater of Term A Loans previously made and $400.0 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has made one borrowing totaling $400.0 million under the Term A Loan Facility. Proceeds from the Credit Agreement on the Closing Date were used to refinance all outstanding obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement, including amounts outstanding under the then existing $1,450.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility ("Prior Credit Facility") and to fund transaction costs in connection with the Credit Agreement. Additional borrowings under the Credit Agreement after the Closing Date may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Amounts Outstanding

In addition, with $400.0 million drawn on the Term A Loan Facility, the Company had $800.0 million of contractual availability under the Term A Loan Facility as of June 30, 2026, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, there was remaining contractual availability under the Credit Facility of $1,894.7 million as of June 30, 2026.
The blended interest rate for outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2026 under the Credit Facility was 4.9% and at December 31, 2025 under the Prior Credit Facility was 5.3%.
Debt Service Requirements
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement (i) the loans under the Term A Loan Facility will amortize in an annual amount equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount thereof, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the earlier of (x) the date the Term A Loans have been fully funded and (y) July 1, 2027, payable on a quarterly basis, and (ii) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, the Company will be required to use a portion of its annual excess cash flow to prepay loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement if the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds certain thresholds set forth in the Credit Agreement. Additionally, under the Credit Facility, we have monthly to quarterly interest payment obligations, depending on the rates we lock in, for the Term A Loans, 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 4.750% Senior Notes due 2027 and our $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2031 ("4.750% Senior Notes due 2031").
35
Covenant Compliance
As of June 30, 2026, 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.
Guarantor Financial Information
In connection with the issuance of our 4.750% Senior Notes due 2027 and our 4.750% Senior Notes due 2031 (collectively, the "Guaranteed Notes" or "Senior Notes"), certain of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Senior Notes Guarantors") provide guarantees under those indentures. These Guaranteed Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of our current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned by us.

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 availability 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 $250 million. In addition, we expect to spend an additional $75 million in 2026 for hotel renovation projects, primarily at the Orleans. We intend to fund our capital expenditures through cash on hand, our Credit Facility and operating cash flows.
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. In 2026, we expect to spend an additional $50 million in growth projects, which includes completion of Cadence Crossing, which opened on March 25, 2026 and the design and pre-construction activities for the expansion and transformation of Par-A-Dice into a single-level entertainment facility, as approved by the regulators during the first quarter of 2026.
Finally, we are expanding our portfolio with a $750 million resort development in Norfolk, Virginia. We opened a modest transitional casino in November 2025 and plan to open the resort, featuring a 65,000 square-foot casino, a 200-room hotel, eight food and beverage outlets and other amenities, in late 2027. We expect to spend $300 million on this project in 2026.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company spent approximately $297 million of the total estimated $650 million to $700 million of capital spend expected in 2026.
Other Opportunities
We regularly investigate and pursue additional expansion opportunities in markets where casino gaming, including online 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.
