NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
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
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 21, 2025.
The results for the periods indicated are unaudited but reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be achieved during a full year of operations or in future periods.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition, we consolidate variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which we or one of our consolidated subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which are 50% or less owned and where we have significant influence and do not meet the controlling financial interest consolidation criteria of the authoritative accounting guidance for voting interest or VIEs, are accounted for under the equity method.
We consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We review investments for VIE consideration if a reconsideration event occurs to determine if the investment qualifies, or continues to qualify, as a VIE.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments, which include cash on hand and in banks, interest-bearing deposits and money market funds with maturities of three months or less at their date of purchase. The instruments are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions. Although these balances may at times exceed the federal insured deposit limit, we believe such risk is mitigated by the quality of the institution holding such deposit. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values as such balances are generally available on demand.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists primarily of: (i) amounts restricted by regulation for gaming and racing purposes; (ii) amounts restricted by regulation for the value in players' online casino gaming accounts; and (iii) advance payments received for future bookings with our Hawaiian travel agency. These restricted cash balances are invested in highly liquid instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less. These restricted cash balances are held by high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total balance shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Leases
Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. For our operating leases for which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we generally use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the weighted average incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement or modification date that is commensurate with the rate of interest in a similar economic environment that we would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to our future lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term, including reasonably certain options to extend or terminate. The determination of the incremental borrowing rate could materially impact our lease liabilities. Operating right-of-use ("ROU") assets and finance lease assets are recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue contracts with customers consist of gaming wagers (including both those made at our gaming entertainment properties and online B2C wagers), hotel room sales, food & beverage offerings and other amenity transactions. See Collaborative Arrangements below for further discussion of revenues earned under our online collaborative arrangements. The transaction price for a gaming wagering contract is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. Cash discounts, commissions and other cash incentives to customers related to gaming play are recorded as a reduction of gaming revenues. The transaction price for hotel, food & beverage and other contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. Hotel, food & beverage and other services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and the transaction price for such contracts is recorded as revenue as the good or service is transferred to the customer over their stay at the hotel, when the delivery is made for the food & beverage or when the service is provided for other amenity transactions.
We have established a player loyalty point program to encourage repeat business from frequent and active slot machine customers and other patrons. Members earn points based on gaming activity and such points can be redeemed for complimentary slot play, food & beverage, hotel rooms and other free goods and services.
Gaming wager contracts involve two performance obligations for those customers earning points under the Company’s player loyalty program and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the program. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio to not differ materially from that which would result if applying the guidance to an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company allocates an amount to the player loyalty contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the points earned, which is determined by the value of a point that can be redeemed for a hotel room stay, food & beverage or other amenities. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. An amount is allocated to the gaming wager performance obligation using the residual approach as the stand-alone price for wagers is highly variable and no set established price exists for such wagers. The allocated revenue for gaming wagers, excluding race and sports wagers, is recognized when the wagers occur as all such wagers settle immediately. The allocated revenue for race and sports wagers is recognized when the specific event or game occurs. The player loyalty contract liability amount is deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the points for a hotel room stay, food & beverage or other amenities and such goods or services are delivered to the customer. See Note 4, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance outstanding related to the player loyalty program.
The Company collects advance deposits from hotel customers for future hotel reservations and other future events such as banquets and ticketed events. These advance deposits represent obligations of the Company until the hotel room stay is provided to the customer or the banquet or ticketed event occurs. See Note 4, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance outstanding related to advance deposits.
The Company's outstanding chip liability represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer. Outstanding chips are expected to be recognized as revenue or redeemed for cash within one year of being purchased. See Note 4, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance related to outstanding chips.
The retail value of hotel accommodations, food & beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is recorded as departmental revenues. Gaming revenues are net of incentives earned in our player loyalty program and the estimated retail value of complimentary goods and services provided to customers (such as complimentary rooms and food & beverage). The estimated retail values related to goods and services provided to customers without charge or upon redemption of points under our player loyalty program, included in departmental revenues, and therefore reducing our gaming revenues, are as follows:

as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gaming Taxes
We are subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which we operate. These gaming taxes are assessed based on our gaming revenues and are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a gaming expense for gaming entertainment properties and online expense for Boyd Interactive operations. Gaming taxes recorded as gaming expense totaled approximately $
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Use of the term "more likely than not" indicates the likelihood of occurrence is greater than 50%. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is continually assessed at a minimum quarterly, and as facts and circumstances change, based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of profitability and taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with the utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before expiration and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.
Other Long-Term Tax Liabilities
The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on accounting standards for uncertain income taxes, which prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
Uncertain tax position accounting standards apply to all tax positions related to income taxes. These accounting standards utilize a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement is only addressed if the position is deemed to be more likely than not to be sustained. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.
Tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first subsequent interim period that they meet the "more likely than not" standard. If it is subsequently determined that a previously recognized tax position no longer meets the "more likely than not" standard, it is required that the tax position is derecognized. Accounting standards for uncertain tax positions specifically prohibit the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions. As applicable, the Company will recognize accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. If applicable, accrued interest and penalties are included in other long-term tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The IRS has selected our federal corporate income tax return for the tax year ended December 31, 2021, for examination. The IRS examination began in the second quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2025, there were no changes to our unrecognized tax benefits to date.
Collaborative Arrangements
We hold a five percent equity ownership in and have a strategic partnership with FanDuel Group ("FanDuel"), the nation's leading sports-betting operator, to pursue sports-betting opportunities across the country, both at our gaming entertainment properties and online. Subject to state law and regulatory approvals, we have established a presence in the sports wagering industry, both at our gaming entertainment properties and online, by leveraging FanDuel's technology and related services. We offer online sports wagering under the FanDuel brand or under market access agreements with other companies in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. We also operate sportsbooks under the FanDuel brand at one of our Downtown Las Vegas gaming entertainment properties, our gaming entertainment properties in Mississippi and all of the gaming entertainment properties in the states where we offer online sports wagering. Under our online collaborative arrangements with FanDuel and other third parties, we receive a revenue share from the third-party operator based on actual wagering wins and losses. The activities under these collaborative arrangements related to online wagering, are recorded in online revenue and online expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The activities under these collaborative arrangements related to sportsbooks at our gaming entertainment properties, are recorded in gaming revenue and gaming expense.
Under certain of our collaborative arrangements, we are the primary obligor and are responsible for paying gaming taxes and other license payments owed as the gaming licensee for the related online gaming activities. We are reimbursed for these taxes and other payments by the third-party operators. We report these gaming taxes and other expenses paid as online expense and the reimbursements we receive as online revenues. These taxes and other payments totaled approximately $
Our five percent equity ownership in FanDuel is recorded at cost in accordance with the measurement alternative allowed under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 321, Accounting for Investments in Equity Securities. We do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over FanDuel's operating and financial policies. We evaluate the investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We evaluate the recorded value of the investment when any observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment would require an adjustment of the investment to fair value.

Currency Translation
The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. If a material income statement event occurs, the transaction would be translated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of occurrence. Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses from foreign currency transaction remeasurements are recorded as other non-operating income (expense).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently being studied by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation
We account for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for share-based payments. Under the guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee's requisite service period.
The following table provides classification detail of the total costs related to our share-based employee compensation plans reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted Stock Units
Our 2020 Plan provides for the grant of Restricted Stock Units ("RSU"). A RSU is an award that may be earned in whole, or in part, upon the passage of time, and that may be settled for cash, shares, other securities or a combination thereof. The RSUs do not contain voting rights and are not entitled to dividends. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable award agreement and the 2020 Plan. Share-based compensation costs related to RSU awards are calculated based on the market price on the date of the grant. We grant RSUs to certain members of management of the Company, which represents a contingent right to receive one share of our common stock upon vesting. Prior to the first quarter 2025 grant, a RSU generally vested on the anniversary of its issuance date. Beginning with the first quarter 2025 grant, a RSU generally vests in annual installments of -third of the original number of units granted with the full award fully vested on the anniversary of its issuance date. Share-based compensation expense is amortized to expense over the requisite service period. In addition, annually we award RSUs to certain members of our Board of Directors and the shares are issued to the director when the RSU is granted. As these RSUs are issued for past service, they are expensed on the date of issuance.
Performance Shares
Our stock incentive plan provides for the issuance of Performance Share Units ("PSU") grants which may be earned, in whole or in part, upon passage of time and the attainment of performance criteria. We periodically review our estimates of performance against the defined criteria to assess the expected payout of each outstanding PSU grant and adjust our stock compensation expense accordingly.
The PSU grants awarded in first quarter 2022 and third quarter 2021 fully vested during the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Common shares under the 2022 grant were issued based on determination by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("Compensation Committee") of our actual achievement of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and Rent under master leases ("EBITDAR"), EBITDAR margin and return on invested capital for the -year performance period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Common shares under the 2021 grant were issued based on the determination by the Compensation Committee of our actual achievement of EBITDAR and return on invested capital for the two-year performance period from July 2021 to June 2023. As provided under the provisions of our stock incentive plan, certain of the participants elected to surrender a portion of the shares to be received to pay the withholding and other payroll taxes payable on the compensation resulting from the vesting of the PSUs.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We have adopted the authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements, which does not determine or affect the circumstances under which fair value measurements are used, but defines fair value, expands disclosure requirements around fair value and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions.
These inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
As required by the guidance for fair value measurements, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Thus, assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 may be measured at fair value using inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

We are exposed to valuation risk on our Level 3 financial instrument. We estimate our risk exposure using a sensitivity analysis of potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs of our fair value measurements. Our Level 3 financial instrument is most susceptible to valuation risk caused by changes in the discount rate. If the discount rate in our fair value measurements increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the change would not cause the value of our fair value measurements to change significantly.
The fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 3, is utilized in performing the Company's impairment analyses.
Assets acquired and contingent liabilities assumed as part of an asset acquisition, along with noncontrolling interest, are recorded at fair value upon acquisition and all are classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 3, other than cash or restricted cash acquired, classified as Level 1.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
The estimated fair values of our note receivable and our obligation under assessment arrangements is based on a discounted cash flows approach after giving consideration to the changes in market rates of interest, creditworthiness of both parties and credit spread. The estimated fair value of our Credit Facility is based on a relative value analysis performed on or about March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The estimated fair values of our senior notes are based on quoted market prices as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The other debt is fixed-rate debt consisting of finance leases with maturity dates in 2025. The other debt is not traded and does not have an observable market input; therefore, we have estimated fair value to be equal to the carrying value for these obligations.
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has the following reportable segments: (i) Las Vegas Locals; (ii) Downtown Las Vegas; (iii) Midwest & South; and (iv) Online, (collectively "Reportable Segments").

Results of Operations - Total Reportable Segment Revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR
We evaluate profitability based on Adjusted EBITDAR, which represents earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, other operating items, net, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, other items, net and master lease rent expense, as applicable. Total 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 Adjusted EBITDAR related to the online operations in our Online segment. Results for Downtown Las Vegas include the results of our Hawaii-based travel agency as our Downtown Las Vegas properties focus their marketing efforts on gaming customers from Hawaii.

EBITDAR is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with 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.

Total Reportable Segment Expenses
The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our President and Chief Executive Officer. To monitor performance, the CODM regularly receives and reviews revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR information monthly for each operating segment aggregated by reportable segment, as well as consolidated expense information. Additionally, the CODM receives estimated and forecasted expense information by operating segment, as well as Adjusted EBITDAR margins and customer play on a segment basis. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDAR margins to monitor the operating efficiencies of segments and customer play trends to monitor the overall health of the player in each segment. The CODM evaluates operating performance and allocates resources based on revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR. In particular, the CODM utilizes Adjusted EBITDAR to evaluate total company performance and individual operating segment performance. In addition, the CODM utilizes Adjusted EBITDAR in the evaluation of incentive compensation and in the annual budget process. Finally, the CODM uses Adjusted EBITDAR in the evaluation of potential acquisitions.
As expense information provided is either at the consolidated Company level or is estimated or forecasted, and the CODM is not able to easily compute any segment expenses, the Company has aggregated all expenses into a single other segment expense category to reconcile segment revenues to Adjusted EBITDAR, the segment performance measure. The following table reconciles, for the periods indicated, the revenues of our Reportable Segments and our Managed & Other category to Adjusted EBITDAR.

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 28 gaming entertainment properties.

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 operations through collaborative arrangements with third parties throughout the United States and the operations of Boyd Interactive. 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").

(2) Property is subject to a master lease agreement with a real estate investment trust.
We also own a travel agency located in Hawaii. As our Downtown Las Vegas properties focus their marketing efforts on gaming customers from Hawaii, financial results for our travel agency are included in our Downtown Las Vegas segment.
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 great customer service helps distinguish our Company and our brand 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.
Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR")
We seek to fulfill our commitment to CSR through four core pillars: Environment, People, Communities and Corporate Governance. We invest in the well-being of our communities and future generations through economic contributions and endeavor to reduce our carbon footprint, strive to be an employer of choice where every Team Member is treated with dignity and respect, and promote a culture of conducting business with the highest level of integrity.
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 March 31, 2025 increased by $31.0 million, or 3.2%, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the following: (i) an increase in online revenue of $23.4 million, which was driven by an increase of $13.6 million in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year comparable period and a $10.9 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations, which was driven primarily by the acquisition of Resorts Digital Gaming, LLC ("Resorts Digital") on September 1, 2024; (ii) an increase in gaming revenues of $4.6 million, or 0.7%, driven by an increase in slot handle of 1.5% and table game hold of 4.8%; and (iii) an increase of $2.9 million related to the Sky River Casino management fee.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased by $19.5 million, or 8.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year comparable period. Operating income was unfavorably impacted by a $21.8 million increase in impairment of assets over the prior year comparable period as the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $32.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to property and equipment in the Las Vegas Locals segment, compared to a $10.5 million impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to a gaming license right in the Midwest & South segment. While online revenues grew $23.4 million, $13.6 million of the revenue growth is due to reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners that results in zero operating income as an equal amount is also recorded as an expense.

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 $4.6 million, or 0.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year comparable period, was primarily due to increases in slot handle of 1.5% and table game hold of 4.8%.
Food & Beverage
Food & beverage revenues increased $1.5 million, or 2.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year comparable period, with margins staying consistent at 14.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 14.6% for the prior year comparable period.
Room
Room revenues decreased $1.6 million, or 3.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a decline of 3.1% in average daily rate.
Online
Online revenues increased $23.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily driven by an increase of $13.6 million in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners and a $10.9 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations, driven by the acquisition of Resorts Digital on September 1, 2024.
Management fee
Management fee revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 of $25.1 million and $22.2 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%, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by Reportable Segment
We determine profitability based on Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Rent ("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 writedown expenses, impairments 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. 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, rent, 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:

Las Vegas Locals
Total revenues decreased by $2.8 million, or 1.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year comparable period, due primarily to a $2.6 million decline in room revenues. The decrease in room revenues was attributable to declines in average daily rate of 6.8% and hotel occupancy rate of 3.1% over the prior year comparable period. The reduction in average daily rate and hotel occupancy rate was driven primarily from the prior year benefiting from the Super Bowl held in Las Vegas during the first quarter of 2024.
Midwest & South
Total revenues increased by $3.8 million, or 0.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, reflecting revenue increases in all departmental categories. Gaming revenues increased $1.9 million which was attributable to increases in table game hold of 6.3% and slot handle of 1.6% over the prior year comparable period. The increases were driven by Treasure Chest, which opened its new land-based casino in June 2024. Offsetting the strong performance at Treasure Chest, was an increase in weather-impacted days during the first quarter of 2025 of 28%, as compared to the prior year comparable period.
Adjusted EBITDAR increased by $2.2 million, or 1.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, due primarily to the gaming revenues increase, as discussed above.
Online
Online revenues increased $23.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to an increase of $13.6 million in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners and a $10.9 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations, driven by the acquisition of Resorts Digital on September 1, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDAR increased $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. As discussed earlier, there is an equal amount of expense recorded for the revenue recorded related to the reimbursement of gaming taxes and other expenses, thus resulting in no impact to Adjusted EBITDAR. As such, the Adjusted EBITDAR increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025, is driven by the revenue increase from Boyd Interactive's operations.
The following costs and expenses, as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, are further discussed below:

Selling, General and Administrative
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of our first quarter impairment review, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $32.3 million for property and equipment related to our Las Vegas Locals segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, as a result of our first quarter impairment review, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $10.5 million for a gaming license right related to our Midwest & South segment.
Other operating items, net, is generally comprised of miscellaneous non-recurring operating charges, including severance payments to separated employees, natural disasters and severe weather impact, including hurricane and flood expenses, and subsequent recoveries of such costs, as applicable.
Other Expenses
Interest Expense, net

(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 March 31, 2025, increased $5.8 million, or 13.8%, from the prior year comparable period primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance of $498.1 million offset by an approximate 20 basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were 27.1% and 23.1%, respectively. Our tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 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. Our tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was unfavorably impacted by state taxes, certain nondeductible expenses which were partially offset by the inclusion of excess tax benefits related to equity compensation and tax credits, as a component of the provision for income taxes.
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $311.5 million and $316.7 million, respectively. In addition, we held restricted cash balances of $5.3 million and $4.7 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our working capital deficit at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $127.9 million and $61.2 million, respectively.
We believe that current cash balances together with the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated operating cash flows of $256.4 million and $250.7 million, respectively. Generally, operating cash flows increased during 2025 as compared to the prior year comparable period due to revenue increases, after excluding the $13.6 million increase from online revenue reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses as an equal amount was paid out as expenses.
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 three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred net cash outflows for investing activities of $250.4 million comprised of the following: (i) capital expenditures of $169.9 million, primarily related to our various guest room remodels, meeting and convention space at Ameristar St. Charles, slot machines, land, IT equipment and building projects at various properties; (ii) cash paid for asset acquisitions of $41.4 million; and (iii) advances made under a note receivable of $31.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred net cash outflows for investing activities of $90.3 million comprised of capital expenditures of $89.6 million, primarily related to our Treasure Chest land-based casino project, various guest room remodels, IT equipment and building projects at various properties.
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 outflows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily driven by share repurchases and dividends paid, reflecting the priority of our capital return program and focus on returning capital to shareholders. During the first quarter of 2025, we increased borrowings under the Credit Facility as we increased our share repurchase activity, resulting in net borrowings under the Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2025 of $338.1 million driven by the $328.0 million in share repurchases for the quarter. The net cash outflows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily reflect share repurchases, payments on the outstanding principal under our Credit Facility, dividends paid and share-based compensation.

With a total revolving credit commitment of $1,450.0 million available under the Credit Facility, $825.0 million and $65.4 million in borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Swing Loan, respectively, and $13.0 million allocated to support various letters of credit, there was a remaining contractual availability under the Credit Facility of $546.6 million as of March 31, 2025.
The blended interest rate for outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was 6.2% at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Debt Service Requirements
Debt service requirements for the Term A Loan include amortization in an annual amount equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount thereof, payable on a quarterly basis. Additionally, under the Credit Facility we have monthly to quarterly interest payment obligations, depending on the rates we lock in, for the Term A Loan, 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 $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2027 ("4.750% Senior Notes due 2027") and our $0.9 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2031 ("4.750% Senior Notes due 2031").
Covenant Compliance
As of March 31, 2025, 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 "Guarantors") provide guarantees of 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.

Share Repurchase Program
On October 21, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of $300.0 million (the "Share Repurchase Program"). In addition, our Board of Directors authorized increases to the Share Repurchase Program of $500.0 million on each of June 1, 2022, May 4, 2023, May 9, 2024 and December 5, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, we were authorized to repurchase up to an additional $312.5 million in shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program. We repurchased 4.5 million shares and 1.7 million shares during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Subject to applicable laws, repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate. We are subject to certain limitations regarding the repurchase of common stock, such as restricted payment limitations related to our outstanding Senior Notes and our Credit Facility. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under this program, and purchases under the Share Repurchase Program can be discontinued at any time at our sole discretion. We intend to fund the repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program with existing cash resources, cash generated from operations and availability under our Credit Facility.
We have in the past, and may in the future, acquire our debt or equity securities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine.
Quarterly Dividend Program
Dividends are declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We are subject to certain limitations regarding payment of dividends, such as restricted payment limitations related to our outstanding Senior Notes and our Credit Facility.

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 $100 million in 2025 for hotel renovation projects at three of our gaming entertainment properties. 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 2025, we expect to spend an additional $100 million in growth projects, which includes the expansion of meeting and convention space at Ameristar St. Charles and construction of a new casino, Cadence Crossing. This new 10,000 square foot casino featuring 450 slots and several restaurants will replace our Jokers Wild casino and will be built on the site that currently holds our Jokers Wild casino.
Finally, we are expanding our portfolio with a $750 million resort development in Norfolk, Virginia. We plan to open a modest transitional casino in late 2025 and the resort, featuring 1,500 slots, 50 table games, a 200-room hotel, eight food and beverage outlets and other amenities, in late 2027. We expect to spend between $150 million and $200 million on this project in 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the company spent approximately $170 million of the total estimated $600 million to $650 million of capital spend expected in 2025.
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.
After receiving approval from the City Council of Norfolk, Virginia in October 2024, we are executing on an opportunity for a new casino resort development in Norfolk, Virginia. As discussed above in Capital Spending and Development, we expect to open a modest transitional facility in late 2025 and the resort in late 2027.

| • | our ability to maintain the integrity of our information technology systems and to protect our internal information; | |
| • | impacts caused by public health emergencies and man-made or natural disasters we may encounter; | |
| • | competition, including expansion of gaming into additional markets including online gaming, our ability to respond to such competition, and our expectations regarding continued competition in the markets in which we compete; | |

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in other current and periodic reports filed from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk, specifically long-term U.S. treasury rates and the applicable spreads in the high-yield investment market, short-term and long-term SOFR rates, and their potential impact on our long-term debt. We are also exposed to commodity prices and potential tariffs on goods purchased from outside the United States ("US"). Our exposure is mitigated as a significant majority of our purchases, both operating and for our construction projects, are from US based suppliers. Finally, we are exposed to a lesser extent to foreign currency exchange risk for funds held in our Canadian operating and restricted cash accounts. While there is risk of fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and US dollar, our exposure is limited given the size of our Canadian operations and the minimal amount of cash held in Canadian bank accounts. A weakening or strengthening of the US dollar to the Canadian dollar by 2x the current conversion rate, would not cause the value of the funds held in the Canadian operating and restricted cash accounts to change significantly. We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
As of March 31, 2025, our long-term variable-rate borrowings represented approximately 46.3% of total long-term debt. Based on March 31, 2025 debt levels, a 100 basis point change in the interest rate would cause our annual interest costs on variable-rate borrowings to change by approximately $16.4 million. We believe there have been no other material changes in our exposure to market risks as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
See also "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Report"), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Other than the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning System during our most recent fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
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 adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There were no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
