(1)Subsidiaries of VICI Properties Inc. (“VICI PropCo”), an unaffiliated third party, own the real estate assets underlying these properties, except The Riverview hotel in Cape Girardeau and The Farmstead hotel in Caruthersville, and subsidiaries of the Company lease these properties under a triple net master lease agreement (“Master Lease”) with subsidiaries of VICI PropCo.

(2)Smooth Bourbon, LLC (“Smooth Bourbon”), a 50% owned subsidiary of the Company, owns the real estate assets underlying this property. Smooth Bourbon is consolidated as a subsidiary for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. See discussion below.

The Company’s Colorado, West Virginia and Nevada subsidiaries have partnered with sports betting and iGaming operators to offer sports wagering and online betting through mobile apps. The Company has also partnered with a sports betting operator to offer sports wagering in Missouri which is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025. During 2024, two of the Company’s sports betting partners in Colorado requested early termination of their agreements, and the Company agreed to cancel the agreements. The agreement with Circa Sports was cancelled in May 2024 and the agreement with Tipico Group Ltd. was cancelled in July 2024. As part of the termination agreement with Circa Sports, the Company received a payment of $1.1 million that included sports betting revenue owed from January 2024 to May 2024 and a breakage fee of $0.7 million. The breakage fee was recorded as other revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Prior to the termination of the agreements, revenue from these agreements was $1.8 million per year in our United States segment.

The Company has a controlling financial interest through its wholly-owned subsidiary Century Resorts Management GmbH (“CRM”) in the following majority-owned subsidiaries:

The Company owns 66.6% of Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL” or “Casinos Poland”). CPL owns and operates casinos throughout Poland. As of June 30, 2025, CPL operated five casinos throughout Poland. CPL is consolidated as a majority-owned subsidiary for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports Company (“Polish Airports”) owns the remaining 33.3% of CPL, which is reported as a non-controlling financial interest. See Note 3 for additional information regarding CPL’s gaming licenses and casinos.

The Company owns 75% of United Horsemen of Alberta Inc. dba Century Downs Racetrack and Casino (“CDR” or “Century Downs”). CDR operates Century Downs Racetrack and Casino, a racetrack and entertainment center (“REC”) in Balzac, a north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. CDR is consolidated as a majority-owned subsidiary for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The remaining 25% of CDR is owned by unaffiliated shareholders and is reported as a non-controlling financial interest. A subsidiary of VICI PropCo owns the real estate assets underlying this property, and the Company leases the assets under the Master Lease.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Century Nevada Acquisition, Inc., the Company has a 50% equity interest in Smooth Bourbon. The Company consolidates Smooth Bourbon as a subsidiary for which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company determined it has a controlling financial interest in Smooth Bourbon based on the Nugget being the primary beneficiary

8


of Smooth Bourbon. The remaining 50% of Smooth Bourbon is owned by Marnell Gaming, LLC (“Marnell”) and is reported as a non-controlling financial interest.

Other Projects and Developments

Sports Betting – Missouri

In May 2025, the Company announced that it has partnered with BetMGM, LLC (“BetMGM”) to operate an online and mobile sports betting application under the Company’s license in Missouri. The agreement includes a percentage of net gaming revenue payable to the Company, with a guaranteed minimum, as well as retail sportsbook options to be exercised at its discretion. Sports betting is expected to begin in Missouri in the fourth quarter of 2025.

On November 1, 2024, the Company opened its new land-based casino with a 38 room hotel adjacent to and connected with the existing casino pavilion building in Caruthersville, Missouri. The project cost approximately $51.9 million and was funded through financing provided by VICI PropCo in conjunction with the Master Lease. The Company previously amended its Master Lease on December 1, 2022 to provide for an increase in initial annualized rent of approximately $4.2 million upon completion of the Caruthersville project. See Note 5, “Long-Term Financing Obligation” for additional information regarding the amendment to the Master Lease.

Cape Girardeau Hotel

On April 4, 2024, the Company opened its 69 room hotel in Cape Girardeau, Missouri called The Riverview. The Riverview is a six story building with 68,000 square feet that is adjacent to and connected with the existing casino building. The project cost approximately $30.5 million. The Company financed the project with cash on hand.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management’s use of estimates includes estimates for property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and income tax.

Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts – The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD” or “$”). Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies. These transactions are typically denominated in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Polish zloty (“PLN”). Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in income from operations as they occur.

The exchange rates to the US dollar used to translate balances at the end of the reported periods are as follows:

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). The objective of ASU 2023-06 is to update and simplify disclosure requirements and is intended to align US GAAP and SEC requirements. Early adoption of ASU 2023-06 is not permitted. The guidance relates to various topics and is effective on the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. The Company is reviewing the updates provided by this standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740); Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The objective of ASU 2023-09 is to improve income tax disclosure requirements. Under ASU 2023-09, entities must annually (1) disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Early adoption of ASU 2023-09 is permitted. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). The objective of ASU 2024-03 is to disaggregate the disclosure of expenses such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2025-01 clarified that ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-3 is permitted. The standard can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently analyzing the additional disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-03 and the impact of adoption on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements or notes thereto.

Significant Accounting Policies

Stock Repurchases – The Company records retirements of repurchased common stock at cost and allocates the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both retained earnings and additional paid-in capital. The portion allocated to additional paid-in capital is calculated on a pro rata basis of the shares to be retired and the total shares issued and outstanding as of the date of retirement. When shares of common stock are retired, they are deducted from the number of shares issued. Excise tax payments related to the repurchase of common stock are reported as an operating activity on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

3.GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits of a business combination to the extent that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company determines the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed after review and consideration of relevant information including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices, and estimates made by management.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. Testing compares the estimated fair values of our reporting units to the reporting units’ carrying values. The reportable segments with goodwill balances as of June 30, 2025 included the United States, Canada and Poland. For the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the current fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill balances is estimated using a combination of (i) the income approach using the discounted cash flow method for projected revenue, EBITDAR and working capital, (ii) the market approach observing the price at which comparable companies or shares of comparable companies are bought or sold, and (iii) fair value measurements using either quoted market price or an estimate of fair value using a present value technique. The cost approach, estimating the cost of reproduction or replacement of an asset, was considered but not used because it does not adequately capture an operating company’s intangible value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment analysis requires management to make estimates about future operating results, valuation multiples and discount rates and assumptions based on historical data and consideration of future market conditions. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect these estimates. Given the uncertainty inherent in any projection, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used, or conditions may change, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future. Such impairments could be material. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill related to the United States, Canada and Poland segments are as follows:

Intangible Assets

The Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. The fair value is determined primarily using the multi-period excess earnings methodology and the relief from royalty method under the income approach. Intangible assets at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following:

Trademarks

The Company currently owns five trademarks: Century Casinos, Mountaineer, Nugget, Rocky Gap and Casinos Poland. The trademarks are reported as intangible assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Trademarks: Finite-Lived

The Company has determined that the Mountaineer, Nugget and Rocky Gap trademarks, all reported in the United States segment, have useful lives of ten years after considering, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related assets or asset groups, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to promote and support the trademark. As such, the trademarks will be amortized over their useful lives. Costs incurred to renew trademarks that are finite-lived are expensed over the renewal period to general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of loss.

Changes in the carrying amount of the United States trademarks are as follows:

Trademarks: Indefinite-Lived

The Company has determined that the Casinos Poland trademark, reported in the Poland segment, and the Century Casinos trademark, reported in the Corporate and Other segment, have indefinite useful lives and therefore the Company does not amortize these trademarks. Costs incurred to renew trademarks that are indefinite-lived are expensed over the renewal period as general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of loss.

These estimates do not reflect the impact of future foreign exchange rate changes or the continuation of the licenses following their expiration. Casino license amortization expense was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The weighted average period before the next license expiration is 4.6 years. In Poland, gaming licenses are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires in a particular city, there is a public notification of the available license and any gaming company can apply for a new license for that city. Although the Company applies for the new license prior to the expiration of the current license, there is no guarantee a new license will be awarded prior to the expiration of the current license or at all. The Company was awarded a second license in the city of Wroclaw in March 2025. The Company expects to open the casino in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company was notified in June 2025 that it had not received a new license for its Hilton Hotel casino in Warsaw.

Casino Licenses: Indefinite-Lived

The Company has determined that the casino licenses held in the United States segment from the Missouri Gaming Commission, the West Virginia Lottery Commission and the Nevada Gaming Commission (held by Smooth Bourbon) and those held in the Canada segment from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (“AGLC”) and Horse Racing Alberta are indefinite-lived. Costs incurred to renew licenses that are indefinite-lived are expensed over the renewal period to general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of loss.

Goldman Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into the Goldman Credit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent and collateral agent, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and BOFA Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the Lenders and L/C Lenders party thereto. The Goldman Credit Agreement provides for the $350.0 million Goldman Term Loan and a $30.0 million Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Goldman Term Loan was $335.1 million and the Company had $30.0 million available to borrow on the Revolving Facility. The Company used the Goldman Term Loan to fund the acquisition of the Nugget, for the repayment of approximately $166.2 million outstanding under a prior credit facility and for related fees and expenses.

The Goldman Term Loan matures on April 1, 2029, and the Revolving Facility matures on April 1, 2027. The Revolving Facility includes up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Goldman Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000 equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Goldman Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity. The Company repurchased approximately $3.5 million principal amount of the Goldman Term Loan for 97% of its value in February 2024.

Borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being a “SOFR Loan”), or (b) the ABR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being a “ABR

14


Loan”). The applicable margin for the Goldman Term Loan is 6.00% per annum with respect to SOFR Loans and 5.00% per annum with respect to ABR Loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, the weighted average interest rates under the Goldman Term Loan were 11.55% and 10.49%, respectively. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Facility (“Revolving Loans”) is (1) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) of the Company is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.25% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.25% per annum; (2) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 but greater than 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.00% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.00% per annum; and (3) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 4.75% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 3.75% per annum.

In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Company is required to pay each lender under the Revolving Facility a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments under the Revolving Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50% of the principal amount of unused commitments of such lender, subject to a stepdown to 0.375% based upon the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin then in effect for SOFR Loans that are Revolving Loans multiplied by the average daily maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit, plus such letter of credit issuer’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges and a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the face amount of such letter of credit. The Company is also required to pay customary agency fees. Fees related to the Goldman Credit Agreement of $0.1 million were recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of loss for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The Goldman Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay the Goldman Term Loan, subject to certain exceptions, with:

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or certain casualty events, subject to certain exceptions; and

50% of the Company’s annual Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) (which percentage will be reduced to 25% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.25 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00, and to 0% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00).

The Goldman Credit Agreement provides that the Goldman Term Loan may be prepaid without a premium or penalties.

The borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the material subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain exceptions (including the exclusion of the Company’s non-domestic subsidiaries), and are secured by a pledge (and, with respect to real property, mortgage) of substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The Goldman Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default. All future borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties. If the Company has aggregate outstanding revolving loans, swingline loans, and letters of credit greater than $10.5 million as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, it is required to maintain a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of 5.50 to 1.00 or less for such fiscal quarter. The Company had no outstanding revolving loans, swingline loans, or letters of credit and therefore, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio did not apply as of June 30, 2025.

Deferred financing costs consist of the Company’s costs related to financings. Amortization expenses relating to the Goldman Credit Agreement were $0.7 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $1.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. These costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Casinos Poland

As of June 30, 2025, CPL had a short-term line of credit with mBank S.A. (“mBank”) used to finance current operations. The short-term line of credit was amended in June 2025 to extend the line of credit borrowing capacity of PLN 15.0 million through June 25, 2026. The line of credit bears an interest rate of overnight WIBOR plus 2.00%. As of June 30, 2025, the credit facility had an outstanding balance of PLN 7.8 million ($2.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2025) and PLN 7.2 million ($2.0 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2025) was available for additional borrowing. The credit agreement is secured by a building owned by CPL in Warsaw. The credit facility contains a number of covenants applicable to CPL, including covenants that require CPL to maintain certain liquidity and liability to asset ratios. CPL was not in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the mBank credit agreement as of June 30, 2025. The violation of the covenant allows the lender to increase the interest rate by 0.50% until the covenants are met again but does not result in an acceleration of the loan.

Under Polish gaming law, CPL is required to maintain PLN 4.8 million in the form of deposits or bank guarantees for payment of casino jackpots and gaming tax obligations. mBank issued guarantees to CPL for this purpose totaling PLN 4.8 million ($1.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2025). The mBank guarantees are secured by land owned by CPL in Kolbaskowo, Poland as well as a deposit of PLN 1.7 million ($0.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2025) with mBank and will terminate in January 2031 and September 2030, respectively. CPL also is required to maintain deposits or provide bank guarantees for payment of additional prizes and giveaways at the casinos. The amount of these deposits varies depending on the value of the prizes. CPL maintained PLN 0.7 million ($0.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2025) in deposits for this purpose as of June 30, 2025. These deposits are included in deposits and other on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Century Resorts Management

As of June 30, 2025, CRM had a credit agreement with UniCredit Bank Austria AG (“UniCredit”) originally entered into in August 2018 as a $7.4 million line of credit for acquisitions and capital expenditures at the Company’s existing operations or new operations. The line of credit was converted to a EUR 6.0 million term loan in June 2021 (the “UniCredit Term Loan”). The UniCredit Term Loan matures on December 31, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 2.875%. As of June 30, 2025, the amount outstanding was EUR 0.7 million ($0.8 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2025) and the Company had no further borrowings available. The UniCredit Term Loan is secured by a EUR 6.0 million guarantee by the Company and has no financial covenants.

5.LONG-TERM FINANCING OBLIGATION

In December 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Tenant”) and certain subsidiaries of VICI PropCo (collectively, the “Landlord”) entered into a sale and leaseback transaction in connection with the acquisition of the Company’s West Virginia and Missouri properties and entered into the Master Lease to lease the real estate assets. See Note 1 for a list of the Company’s subsidiaries and properties under the Master Lease.

The Master Lease has been modified as follows:

On December 1, 2022, an amendment provided for (i) modifications with respect to certain project work to be done by the Company related to Century Casino Caruthersville, (ii) modifications to rent under the Master Lease to provide for an increase in initial annualized rent of approximately $4.2 million, the cash payments for which can be deferred for a period of 12 months after the completion of the project, and (iii) other related modifications. The Company has elected to defer the cash payments related to the increase in initial annualized rent for 12 months, and the deferred rent will be paid over a six month period beginning in December 2025.

On July 25, 2023, an amendment (i) added Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) increased initial annualized rent by approximately $15.5 million and (iii) extended the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the four existing five year renewal options).

On September 6, 2023, an amendment (i) added the Century Canadian Portfolio to the Master Lease, (ii) increased initial annualized rent by approximately CAD 17.3 million ($12.7 million based on the exchange rate on June 30, 2025) and (iii) extended the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the four existing five year renewal options).

The Master Lease does not transfer control of the properties under the Master Lease to VICI PropCo subsidiaries. The Company accounts for the transaction as a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation. When cash proceeds are exchanged, a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation is equal to the proceeds received for the assets that are sold and then leased back. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligations recognized in this transaction was determined to be the fair value of the leased real estate assets. In subsequent periods, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease will be recognized as interest

16


expense with the remainder of the payment reducing the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation using the effective interest method. The failed sale-leaseback obligations will not be reduced to less than the net book value of the leased real estate assets as of the end of the lease term.

The fair values of the real estate assets and the related failed sale-leaseback financing obligation were estimated based on the present value of the estimated future payments over the term plus renewal options of 35 years, using an average imputed discount rate of approximately 8.9%. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation is dependent upon assumptions regarding the amount of the payments and the estimated discount rate of the payments required by a market participant.

The Master Lease provides for the lease of land, buildings, structures and other improvements on the land, easements and similar appurtenances to the land and improvements relating to the operations of the leased properties. The Master Lease had an initial term of 15 years with no purchase option. At the Company’s option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to four five year renewal terms beyond the 15 year term. The Company exercised one five year renewal option when the Master Lease was amended on December 1, 2022. The renewal terms are effective as to all, but not less than all, of the property then subject to the Master Lease. The Company does not have the ability to terminate its obligations under the Master Lease prior to its expiration without the Landlord’s consent.

The Master Lease has a triple-net structure, which requires the Tenant to pay substantially all costs associated with the Company’s properties that are subject to the Master Lease, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and operating costs. The Master Lease contains certain covenants, including minimum capital improvement expenditures. The Company has provided a guarantee of the Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease.

The rent under the Master Lease currently escalates at the greater of either 1.0125% (the “Base Rent Escalator”) or the increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The CPI rent escalator for the Century Canadian Portfolio is capped at 2.5%. The Base Rent Escalator is subject to adjustment from and after the sixth year of the Master Lease if the Minimum Rent Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Master Lease) is not satisfied.

The estimated future payments in the table below include payments and adjustments to reflect estimated payments as described in the Master Lease, including the Base Rent Escalator of 1.0125%. The estimated future payments shown below are not adjusted for increases based on the CPI. Remaining cash rent payments adjusted for CPI for the year ending December 31, 2025 are estimated to be $30.0 million.

6.COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS

Litigation – From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising from normal business operations. Based on management’s knowledge, the Company does not expect the outcome of such currently pending or threatened proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Termination Costs (Poland) The Company was notified in the fourth quarter of 2024 that it was not awarded a new license to operate a casino in Krakow, Poland. Agreements with the employees at the Krakow casino provide for payment of salaries for a negotiated termination period and severance pay. The final payments related to the Krakow casino were made in June 2025 and the estimate was adjusted based on these final payments.

The Company was notified in June 2025 that it was not awarded a new license to operate a casino at the Hilton Hotel in Warsaw, Poland. Agreements with the employees at the Hilton Hotel casino in Warsaw provide for severance pay and the estimated severance expense was included in the accrued severance liability as of June 30, 2025. Payments to the Hilton Hotel casino employees are expected to be made by the end of 2025.

A reconciliation of the liability as of June 30, 2025 is presented below.

7.INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense or benefits are recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense of $1.7 million on pre-tax loss of ($26.7) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (6.5%) compared to income tax expense of $25.6 million on pre-tax loss of ($25.1) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (102.2%) for the same period in 2024.

18


For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company computed an annual effective tax rate using forecasted information. Based on current forecasts, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to be highly sensitive to changes in earnings. The Company concluded that computing its effective tax rate using forecasted information would be appropriate in estimating tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

A number of items caused the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to differ from the US federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, including certain nondeductible business expenses in Poland, various exchange rate benefits, and income attributable to the non-controlling interest holder of Smooth Bourbon, which is taxed as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes. Further, the Company expects to incur withholding tax on future repatriation of current earnings in certain non-US subsidiaries.

The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for CMR, CRM and Century Resorts International Ltd. Additionally, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets in the United States, which was initially recorded in the second quarter of 2024.

8.EQUITY

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The calculation of basic loss per share considers only weighted average outstanding common shares in the computation. The calculation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive stock options. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus, if dilutive, the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Common Stock Repurchase Program

Since March 2000, the Company has had a discretionary program to repurchase its outstanding common stock. On May 14, 2025, the Company announced a 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Plan”) for the purpose of repurchasing up to $3.0 million of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Limit”) in accordance with the share repurchase program previously authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Plan allowed the Company to repurchase shares up to the Repurchase Limit through July 31, 2025. Repurchases of common stock under the Plan are being administered through an independent broker and are subject to certain price, market, volume and timing constraints specified in the Plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 428,734 shares of the Company’s common stock for $0.9 million on the open market under the Plan. The total amount remaining under the Plan was $2.1 million as of June 30, 2025. The Plan expired by its terms on July 31, 2025. See Part II, Item 2 of this report for additional details.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS REPORTING

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows fair value measurement authoritative accounting guidance for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. That authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market or observable inputs are the preferred sources of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The fair value hierarchy for grouping these assets and liabilities is based on the significance level of the following inputs:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

Level 3 – significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company reflects transfers between the three levels at the beginning of the reporting period in which the availability of observable inputs no longer justifies classification in the original level. There were no transfers between the three levels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to its non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2025.

Debt – The carrying value of the Goldman Credit Agreement, the UniCredit Term Loan and CPL’s short-term line of credit approximate fair value based on the variable interest paid on the obligations. The estimated fair values of the outstanding balances under the Goldman Credit Agreement and UniCredit Term Loan are designated as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices in active markets for similar liabilities. The carrying value of CPL’s short-term line of credit approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the agreement. The carrying values of the Company’s finance lease obligations approximate fair value based on the similar terms and conditions currently available to the Company in the marketplace for similar financings.

Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements – The estimated fair value of the Company’s other assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, have been determined to approximate carrying value based on the short-term nature of those financial instruments. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no cash equivalents.

For the majority of the Company’s contracts with customers, payment is made in advance of the services and contracts are settled on the same day the sale occurs with revenue recognized on the date of the sale. For contracts that are not settled, a contract liability is created. The expected duration of the performance obligation is less than one year.

The amount of revenue recognized that was included in the opening contract liability balance was $3.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $2.4 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. This revenue consists primarily of the Company’s deferred gaming revenue from player points earned through play at the Company’s casinos located in the United States.

Receivables are included in accounts receivable and contract liabilities are included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Substantially all of the Company’s contracts and contract liabilities have an original duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedient for such contracts and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue.

11.LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in each of the jurisdictions in which its subsidiaries operate to calculate the present value of lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease agreements with lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes. The Company does not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less. The Company’s operating and finance leases include land, casino space, corporate offices, and gaming and other equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of one month to 47 years.

12.SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports its financial performance in three reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which its casinos operate: the United States, Canada and Poland. The Company views each casino or other operation within those markets as a reporting unit. Operating segments are aggregated within reportable segments 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. In the United States, the Company views its operating segments as East, Midwest and West. The Company’s operations related to certain other corporate and management operations have not been identified as separate reportable segments; therefore, these operations are included in Corporate and Other in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The table below provides information about the aggregation of the Company’s reporting units and operating segments into reportable segments:

to evaluate monthly results compared to budget which are used in assessing segment performance;

to determine whether to invest in growth projects in the segment; and

to determine initiatives such as acquisitions or deleveraging.

Adjusted EBITDAR

Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-US GAAP measure defined as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interest earnings (loss) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, termination expenses related to closing a casino, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, (gain) loss on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other, gain on business combination and certain other one-time transactions. Expense related to the Master Lease is included in the interest expense (income), net line item. Intercompany transactions consisting primarily of management and royalty fees and interest, along with their related tax effects, are excluded from the presentation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders and Adjusted EBITDAR reported for each segment. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense is presented under Corporate and Other in the tables below as the expense is not allocated to reportable segments when reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers. Not all of the aforementioned items occur in each reporting period, but have been included in the definition based on historical activity. These adjustments have no effect on the consolidated results as reported under US GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAR is not considered a measure of performance recognized under US GAAP.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Overview

Since our inception in 1992, we have been primarily engaged in developing and operating gaming establishments and related lodging, restaurant and entertainment facilities. Our primary source of revenue is from the net proceeds of our gaming machines and tables, with ancillary revenue generated from hotel, restaurant, horse racing (including off-track betting), sports betting, iGaming and entertainment facilities that are in most instances a part of the casinos.

We aggregate all operating segments into three reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which our casinos operate: United States, Canada and Poland. We have additional business activities including certain other corporate and management operations that we report as Corporate and Other. In the United States, we view our operating segments as East, Midwest and West. The reporting units, except for Century Downs Racetrack and Casino and Casinos Poland, are owned, operated and managed through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our ownership and operation of Century Downs Racetrack and Casino and Casinos Poland are discussed below.

The table below provides information about the aggregation of our operating segments and reporting units into reportable segments.

We have controlling financial interests through our subsidiary CRM in the following reporting units:

We have a 75% ownership interest in CDR, and we consolidate CDR as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. We account for and report the remaining 25% ownership interest in CDR as a non-controlling financial interest. CDR operates Century Downs Racetrack and Casino, a REC in Balzac, a north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. CDR is the only horse racetrack in the Calgary area and is located less than one mile north of the city limits of Calgary and seven miles from the Calgary International Airport.

We have a 66.6% ownership interest in CPL and we consolidate CPL as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports owns the remaining 33.3% of CPL. We account for and report the 33.3% Polish Airports ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. CPL has been in operation since 1989. As of June 30, 2025, CPL had casino licenses for six casinos and operated five casinos throughout Poland. We closed the Hilton Hotel casino in Warsaw in June 2025 after we were notified that we had not received a new license for the casino. The following table summarizes information about CPL’s casinos as of June 30, 2025.

(1)We closed the casinos in Katowice and Bielsko-Biala in October 2023 due to the expiration of the gaming licenses. We were awarded both licenses in February 2024. The Bielsko-Biala casino reopened in February 2024, and the Katowice casino reopened in March 2024 with a reduced gaming floor. We received regulatory approval to reopen the full gaming floor at the Katowice casino in May 2025.

(2)We closed the Wroclaw casino in November 2023 due to the expiration of the gaming license. We were awarded the license in December 2023. We relocated the casino to a new location and opened the casino in October 2024.

(3)We were awarded a license for a second location in Wroclaw in March 2025. We anticipate opening the casino in the fourth quarter of 2025 with 50 slot machines and four table games.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary Century Nevada Acquisition, Inc., we have a 50% equity interest in Smooth Bourbon, LLC (“Smooth Bourbon”) which we consolidate as a subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. The remaining 50% of Smooth Bourbon is owned by Marnell Gaming, LLC (“Marnell”) and is reported as a non-controlling financial interest.

Recent Developments Related to Economic Uncertainty

Current macroeconomic conditions remain very dynamic, including volatile changes in stock markets, foreign currency exchange rates, political unrest and armed conflicts, inflation, US domestic and other international economic policies, such as tariffs, and other factors. Both customer visits and customer spending at our casinos are key drivers of our revenue and profitability, and reductions in either could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The actual or perceived impact of macroeconomic conditions on consumer spending could lead to fewer customer visits and decreased discretionary spending by our customers. Any worsening in economic conditions in the regions in which we operate or globally, or the perception that conditions may worsen, could reduce consumer discretionary spending or increase our costs and erode our net earnings and cash flows.

Other Projects and Developments

Sports Betting – Missouri

In May 2025, we announced that we have partnered with BetMGM to operate an online and mobile sports betting application under our license in Missouri. The agreement includes a percentage of net gaming revenue payable to us, with a guaranteed minimum, as well as retail sportsbook options to be exercised at our discretion. Sports betting is expected to begin in Missouri in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Caruthersville Land-Based Casino

On November 1, 2024, we opened our new land-based casino with a 38 room hotel in Caruthersville, Missouri. The new land-based casino is adjacent to and connected with the temporary casino pavilion building. The project cost approximately $51.9 million and was funded with financing provided by VICI PropCo in conjunction with the Master Lease. VICI PropCo owns the real estate improvements associated with the Caruthersville project. We previously amended our Master Lease in December 2022 to provide for an increase in initial annualized rent of approximately $4.2 million upon completion of the Caruthersville project. See Part I, Item 1. Note 5, “Long-Term Financing Obligation” for a discussion of the Master Lease as amended to date.

30


Cape Girardeau Hotel

On April 4, 2024, we opened our 69 room hotel at our Cape Girardeau location called The Riverview. The Riverview is a six story building with 68,000 square feet that is adjacent to and connected with the existing casino building. The project cost approximately $30.5 million. We financed the project with cash on hand.

Additional Gaming Projects

We periodically explore additional potential gaming projects and acquisition opportunities. Along with the capital needs of potential projects, there are various other risks which, if they materialize, could affect our ability to complete a proposed project or acquisition or could eliminate its feasibility altogether.

Strategic Review Process

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has initiated a comprehensive strategic review of our operations, capital structure and strategic growth options. The review will explore a range of potential strategic alternatives for our assets and businesses aimed at enhancing shareholder value and supporting long-term growth. These alternatives may include opportunities to unlock value within our existing property portfolio, optimize our capital structure, evaluate potential mergers, strategic partnerships, or the sale of the Company, and to analyze potential divestments of assets or other asset-level transactions. The Board has not set a timetable for the conclusion of this review. At this stage, no commitments or decisions have been made and there can be no assurance that the review will result in any transaction or particular change to our business. We do not intend to make further public comments on the process unless and until we determine that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

We recognize in our condensed consolidated statements of loss foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from the translation of casino operations and other transactions that are denominated in a currency other than US dollars. Our casinos in Canada and Poland represent a significant portion of our business, and the revenue generated and expenses incurred by these operations are generally denominated in Canadian dollars and Polish zloty. A decrease in the value of these currencies in relation to the value of the US dollar would decrease the earnings from our foreign operations when translated into US dollars. An increase in the value of these currencies in relation to the value of the US dollar would increase the earnings from our foreign operations when translated into US dollars.

Comparability Impacts

Items impacting comparability of the results include the following:

Valuation Allowance (US) – We recorded a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets related to the United States resulting in $23.8 million of tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Sports Betting (Colorado) – In 2024, we mutually agreed to cancel two of our sports betting agreements in Colorado. The Circa Sports agreement was terminated in May 2024 and the Tipico agreement was terminated in July 2024. Prior to the termination of the agreements, revenue from these agreements was $1.8 million per year in our United States segment. As part of the Circa Sports termination agreement, we received a payment of $1.1 million that included sports betting revenue owed from January 2024 to May 2024 and a breakage fee of $0.7 million. The breakage fee was recorded as other revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Weather – Increased inclement weather impacted revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 for all of our North American properties.

Summary of Changes by Reportable Segment

Net operating revenue increased by $4.4 million, or 3.0%, and decreased by ($1.2) million, or (0.4%), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders decreased by ($29.3) million, or (70.4%), and by ($22.2) million, or (40.3%), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Items deducted from or added to earnings from operations to arrive at net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders include interest income, interest expense, gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and other, income tax expense (benefit) and non-controlling interests. Interest expense primarily from the Master Lease negatively impacts net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders. Income tax expense decreased significantly for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the valuation allowance noted above. For a discussion of these items, see “Non-Operating (Expense) Income and Taxes below in this Item 2 and Note 7, “Income Taxes,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Other

Pari-Mutuel

Pari-mutuel revenue includes live racing, export, advanced deposit wagering and off-track betting. Pari-mutuel expenses relate to pari-mutuel revenue and the operation of our racetracks.

Other

Other revenue and other expenses include gift shops, entertainment, golf and spa. Other revenue also includes revenue from ATM and credit card commissions.

Non-US GAAP Measures Definitions and Calculations

Adjusted EBITDAR

Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements as a valuation metric. We define Adjusted EBITDAR as net (loss) earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, including interest expense related to the Master Lease as discussed below, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interests net earnings (losses) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, termination expenses related to closing a casino, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, loss (gain) on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other, gain on business combination and certain other one-time transactions. Intercompany transactions consisting primarily of management and royalty fees and interest, along with their related tax effects, are excluded from the presentation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders and Adjusted EBITDAR reported for each reportable segment. Not all of the aforementioned items occur in each reporting period, but have been included in the definition based on historical activity. These adjustments have no effect on the consolidated results as reported under US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).

The Master Lease is accounted for as a financing obligation. As such, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease is recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment impacting the financing obligation using the effective interest method.

Adjusted EBITDAR information is a non-US GAAP measure that is a valuation metric, should not be used as an operating metric, and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported US GAAP measures because we believe this measure is widely used by analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors as a principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies. Management believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDAR to investors provides them with information used by management for

33


financial and operational decision-making in order to understand the Company’s operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.

Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance, as an indicator of our performance, considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to operating income or net income, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles because this measure is not presented on a US GAAP basis and excludes certain expenses, including the rent expense related to our Master Lease, and is provided for the limited purposes discussed herein. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAR as used by us may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in our industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-US GAAP financial measures of other companies. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, because it excludes the rent expense associated with our Master Lease and certain other items.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAR to net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders is presented below.

Net Debt

We define Net Debt as total long-term debt (including current portion) plus deferred financing costs minus cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt is not considered a liquidity measure recognized under US GAAP. Management believes that Net Debt is a valuable measure of our overall financial situation. Net Debt provides investors with an indication of our ability to pay off all of our long-term debt if it became due simultaneously. The reconciliation of Net Debt is presented below.

We opened the new land-based casino and hotel in Caruthersville on November 1, 2024. The casino has 569 slot machines and nine live table games, which is almost a 50% increase in gaming positions compared with the prior temporary location. The number of hotel rooms doubled to 74.

We opened The Riverview in Cape Girardeau in April 2024. The Riverview is a 69 room, six-story building with 68,000 square feet that is adjacent to and connected with Century Casino Cape Girardeau.

We partner with sports betting operators that conduct sports wagering at our Colorado, West Virginia and Nevada locations. Each agreement with the sports betting operators provides for a share of net gaming revenue, and the Colorado agreement also provides for a minimum revenue guarantee each year. In addition, we operate internet and mobile interactive gaming applications in West Virginia with two iGaming partners. The agreements provide for a share of net iGaming revenue. Sports betting in Missouri was approved by voters in November 2024, and we have partnered with BetMGM to conduct online sports betting at our Missouri casinos with an option for a retail sportsbook. Sports betting is expected to begin in Missouri in the fourth quarter of 2025.

As stated above, two of our sports betting agreements in Colorado were terminated in May 2024 and July 2024. Revenue from these agreements was $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, in our United States segment. As part of the Circa Sports termination agreement, we received a payment of $1.1 million that included sports betting revenue owed from January 2024 to May 2024 and a breakage fee of $0.7 million. The breakage fee was recorded as other revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Prior to the termination of the agreements, revenue from these agreements was $1.8 million per year in our United States segment.

The Cripple Creek and Central City casinos in Colorado stopped offering table games in January 2025. Through June 2025, the removal of table games has not impacted earnings from operations at our Colorado casinos as the expense savings have offset the decrease in revenue. Table games revenue in Colorado was $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

The following discussion highlights results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

East – Decreased net operating revenue was primarily due to decreased gaming revenue offset by increased hotel revenue, due to changes in room rates, at both properties. Decreased operating costs and expenses is due to decreased gaming-related, maintenance and insurance expenses.

Midwest – In Missouri, net operating revenue increased by approximately $3.0 million primarily due to increased gaming revenue at our new casino in Caruthersville and increased hotel and food and beverage revenue at both properties due to the opening of our two new hotels in 2024. The increases in Missouri were partially offset by decreased net operating revenue of approximately $2.2 million in Colorado. Decreased net operating revenue in Colorado was primarily due to the termination of two sports betting agreements in 2024 and decreased gaming revenue in Central City. Operating expenses in the Midwest operating segment remained relatively constant.

West – Net operating revenue at the Nugget decreased primarily due to decreased hotel and food and beverage revenue. We are increasing our efforts to market group and convention sales for the hotel and are implementing a new loyalty program in an effort to drive revenue growth. Operating expenses remained relatively constant.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

The following discussion highlights results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Winter weather negatively impacted all US properties during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

East – Decreased net operating revenue was due to decreased gaming revenue offset by increased hotel revenue, due to changes in room rates, at both properties. At our Rocky Gap property, the golf course was closed for the majority of the first quarter of 2025 due to winter weather that impacted gaming, hotel and food and beverage revenue. Decreased operating costs and expenses is due to decreased gaming-related, maintenance and insurance expenses.

Midwest – In Missouri, net operating revenue increased by approximately $5.8 million primarily due to increased gaming revenue at our new casino in Caruthersville and increased hotel and food and beverage revenue at both properties due to the new hotels that were opened in 2024. The increases in Missouri were offset by decreased net operating revenue of approximately $4.5 million in Colorado. Decreased net operating revenue in Colorado was primarily due to the termination of two sports betting agreements in 2024, as detailed above, decreased gaming revenue due to the elimination of table games at both properties, and inclement weather in February 2025. Operating expenses in the Midwest operating segment increased due to increased payroll and gaming-related expenses at the Missouri locations due to opening our new hotels and the new Caruthersville casino in 2024, offset by decreased payroll and gaming-related expenses at the Colorado locations due to the closure of table games.

West – Net operating revenue at the Nugget decreased primarily due to decreased hotel and food and beverage revenue. We are increasing our efforts to market group and convention sales for the hotel and are implementing a new loyalty program in an effort to drive revenue growth. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to decreased payroll and cost of goods sold due to the cost

In February 2023, the AGLC, Alberta’s gaming regulatory agency, approved a temporary increase from 15% of slot machine net sales retained by casinos to 17% effective from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2025. In December 2024, the temporary increase was extended through March 31, 2026.

A competitor is requesting to relocate their casino from a city about 50 miles southeast of Edmonton to south Edmonton, approximately 11 miles from our Century Mile property. Additional approvals are needed before the project begins and we anticipate construction could take approximately one year if the project is approved. An increase in competitors to the Edmonton market and near our Century Mile property could lead to a decrease in visitors at our casinos and have a negative impact on our results of operations in Canada.

Results in US dollars were impacted by a (1.2%) and (3.8%) decrease in the average exchange rate between the US dollar and Canadian dollar for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

In Poland, casino gaming licenses are granted for a term of six years. These licenses are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires in a particular city, there is a public notification of the available license and any gaming company can apply for a new license for that city. We closed our Hilton Hotel casino in Warsaw in June 2025 after we were notified that we had not received a new license. We believe that we can retain a significant portion of the revenue from the Hilton Hotel casino at our second casino in Warsaw at the Presidential Hotel.

The table below provides information about the closures due to licensing delays and expirations during the periods discussed in this Item 2.

The following discussion highlights results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Explanations below are provided based on PLN results.

Net operating revenue increased primarily due to increased revenue at the casino in Wroclaw that reopened in October 2024. Operating costs and expenses increased due to increased gaming-related expenses related to increased gaming revenue as well as additional costs related to termination of the lease at the Hilton Hotel.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

The following discussion highlights results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Explanations below are provided based on PLN results.

Net operating revenue increased primarily due to the casinos that reopened in 2024 in Wroclaw, Bielsko-Biala and Katowice, offset by decreased revenue due to licensing-related closures at our LIM Center casino in Warsaw and the Krakow casino and slower gaming activity in the Warsaw market in the first quarter. Operating costs and expenses increased due to increased gaming-related expenses related to increased gaming revenue as well as increased casino rent expense and additional costs related to termination of the lease at the Hilton Hotel.

Total operating costs and expenses, including general and administrative expenses, decreased due primarily to lower stock compensation expense, legal fees and insurance costs.

Taxes

Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $1.7 million on pre-tax loss of ($26.7) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (6.5%) compared to an income tax expense of $25.6 million on pre-tax loss of ($25.1) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (102.2%) for the same period in 2024. For further discussion of our effective income tax rates and an analysis of our effective income tax rate compared to the US federal statutory income tax rate, see Note 7, “Income Taxes,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our business is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our casinos to generate operating cash flow. We use the cash flows that we generate to maintain operations, fund reinvestment in existing properties for both refurbishment and expansion projects, repay third party debt, and pursue additional growth via new development and acquisition opportunities. When necessary and available, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with either cash on hand or funds provided by bank borrowings, other debt or equity financing activities or funding arrangements with third-party partners, such as VICI PropCo in connection with our casino project in Caruthersville.

Canada, $0.3 million in renovations on the relocated Wroclaw casino in Poland and $5.9 million in other fixed asset additions at our properties, offset by $0.1 million in proceeds from the disposal of assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of $4.7 million in distributions to non-controlling interests, $1.0 million to repurchase and retire shares of our common stock and $2.2 million of principal payments net of proceeds from borrowings.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of $5.0 million in distributions to non-controlling interests and $0.2 million to repurchase shares to satisfy tax withholding related to our performance stock unit awards, offset by an aggregate of $4.8 million in proceeds from borrowings net of principal payments, including $9.9 million of proceeds from borrowings from VICI PropCo for the Caruthersville project.

Borrowings and Repayments of Long-Term Debt and Lease Agreements

As of June 30, 2025, our total debt under bank borrowings and other agreements, net of $10.1 million related to deferred financing costs, was $328.0 million, of which $321.5 million was long-term debt and $6.4 million was the current portion of long-term debt. The current portion relates to payments due within one year under our Goldman Credit Agreement, the UniCredit Term Loan and CPL’s credit facility. Our Goldman Credit Agreement provides for a $350.0 million Term Loan, drawn in April 2022, and a $30.0 million Revolving Facility. No amounts are currently outstanding under the Revolving Facility. For a description of our debt agreements, see Note 4, “Long-Term Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Net Debt was $252.5 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to $218.4 million as of June 30, 2024. The increase in net debt is primarily due to decreased cash. For the definition and reconciliation of Net Debt to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure, see “Non-US GAAP Measures Definitions and Calculations – Net Debt” above.

As of June 30, 2025, estimated cash payments due under the Master Lease for the remainder of 2025 are $30.0 million, which includes a CPI increase and a portion of the deferred Caruthersville rent increase. We have elected to defer the cash payments of $4.2 million in annual increased rent related to the Caruthersville project for 12 months and the deferred rent will be paid over a six month period beginning in December 2025. Estimated cash payments to the non-controlling partners under the lease between Smooth Bourbon and Nugget (the “Nugget Lease”) for the remainder of 2025 are $3.9 million.

The following table details cash payments under the Master Lease and 50% of the cash payments under the Nugget Lease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

Since March 2000, we have had a discretionary program to repurchase up to $15.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date and had approximately $13.8 million remaining as of June 30, 2025.

On May 14, 2025, in accordance with the share repurchase program previously authorized by the Board, we announced a 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Plan”) for the purpose of repurchasing up to $3.0 million of shares of our outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Limit”). The Plan allowed us to repurchase shares up to the Repurchase Limit through July 31, 2025. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased and retired 428,734 shares of our common stock for $0.9 million on the open market under the Plan. The Plan expired by its terms on July 31, 2025. We intend to engage in additional stock repurchases.

Potential Sources and Uses of Liquidity and Short-Term Liquidity

Historically, our primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been cash flow from operations. As of June 30, 2025, we had $85.5 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $98.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents decreased primarily due to net cash used in investing activities of $13.0 million as discussed in “Investing Activities” above. When necessary and available, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with funds provided by bank borrowings or other debt or equity financing activities. As of June 30, 2025, we had $30.0 million available on our Revolving Facility. See Note 4, “Long-Term Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

We estimate that we have spent over half of our planned capital expenditures for 2025 in the first half of the year. Remaining capital expenditures for 2025 are estimated to be approximately $8.1 million of maintenance capital expenditures, including elevator upgrades at the Nugget and various upgrades at our properties. We opened the new land-based casino and hotel at Century Casino Caruthersville on November 1, 2024. The project cost approximately $51.9 million and was funded with financing provided by VICI PropCo in conjunction with the Master Lease. We estimate approximately $0.2 million in remaining cash payments related to the Caruthersville project.

We may be required to raise additional capital to address our liquidity and capital needs. We have a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective in June 2023 under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and other securities. We intend to renew the shelf registration statement in 2026.

If necessary, we may seek to obtain further term loans, mortgages or lines of credit with commercial banks or other debt or equity financings to supplement our working capital and investing requirements. Our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects and our credit ratings. A financing transaction may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and a financing transaction may be dilutive to our current stockholders. The failure to raise the funds necessary to fund our debt service and rent obligations and finance our operations and other capital requirements could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity. 

We estimate that approximately $45.8 million of our total $85.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 is held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $23.3 million is held by our Canadian subsidiaries and $15.7 million is held by our Austrian subsidiary. The cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries are not available to fund US operations unless repatriated. We expect to incur withholding tax on future repatriation of current earnings in certain non-US subsidiaries.

Issuer Repurchases

In March 2000, our board of directors approved a discretionary program to repurchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In November 2009, our board of directors approved an increase of the amount available to be repurchased under the program to $15.0 million. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date and had approximately $13.8 million remaining as of June 30, 2025.

On May 14, 2025, we announced the Plan for the purpose of repurchasing up to the Repurchase Limit in accordance with the share repurchase program previously authorized by our Board of Directors. The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no repurchases under our repurchase program outside of the Plan. The Plan expired on July 31, 2025.
