Robeson Reeves, Bally’s Chief Executive Officer, said “Bally’s made significant strides this quarter, announcing new initiatives, achieving important project milestones, and building on our strong foundation for 2023 and beyond. Our core Casinos & Resorts segment produced record second-quarter revenues of $333.2 million, an 11.1% increase compared to the second quarter of 2022. International Interactive also remained solid, with revenues increasing 5.6% year-over-year, led by our robust UK business, which grew revenues by 11.5% year-over-year.
North America Interactive iGaming is ramping up positively, driven primarily by New Jersey and our successful June launch in Pennsylvania. Additionally, we are extremely pleased that the Rhode Island legislature legalized iGaming, naming Bally’s as the sole provider in the State with an anticipated launch in March 2024. In addition, we have made significant progress transitioning Bally Bet onto the Kambi and White Hat technology platforms, which is on track to rollout later this summer.
Bally’s had a consolidated net loss in the quarter of $25.7 million and generated Adjusted EBITDAR of $161.4 million, up 8.7% from last year, and Adjusted EBITDA of $130.0 million. For the six-month period through June 2023, net income was $152.7 million with Adjusted EBITDAR of $319.0 million, up 16.1% from last year, and Adjusted EBITDA of $256.4 million.
Giving some segment contribution highlights for the quarter, Casinos & Resorts generated net income of $26.7 million, Adjusted EBITDAR of $111.0 million, up 11.6%, and Adjusted EBITDA of $79.7 million. International Interactive generated Adjusted EBITDA of $84.6 million this quarter compared with $82.6 million last year. North America Interactive reported an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(17.7) million this quarter compared with $(20.9) million loss for the prior year period.”
George Papanier, Bally’s President, added, “Our core Casinos & Resorts customer base remains resilient. While we are keeping a close eye on spending trends and the health of the consumer generally, we are pleased with how our overall portfolio is performing, with significant year-over-year revenue growth and margin expansion. We are looking forward to the opening of our Chicago Temporary Casino in September and the unveiling of our property redevelopment in Kansas City as well. Importantly, our portfolio’s near-term capex cycle has peaked as our Twin River Lincoln project was completed in late April, as will the Chicago Temporary Casino and Kansas City expansion projects through this quarter. We expect to be mining the returns from those expansion plans in the back-half of 2023, particularly in the fourth quarter.”
2023 Guidance
Bally’s is maintaining its Revenue guidance provided on May 9, 2023, which remains in the range of $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion and its Adjusted EBITDAR guidance range of $665 million to $700 million. This includes somewhat better performance from our core Casinos & Resorts and International Interactive business units versus our original expectations, as it now includes a new range of $50 million to $60 million of Adjusted EBITDA losses in North America Interactive, a $10 million higher loss at the midpoint, as we are investing in the business. This includes our Pennsylvania iGaming launch, our Bally Bet rollout and our omni-channel. Guidance for rent expense remains at $125 million (actual cash rent of $119 million) for the year.
We are also maintaining our 2023 Capital Expenditure guidance of $160 million, with maintenance capex at Casinos & Resorts of $50 million, growth capex at Casinos & Resorts of $70 million, and Software Development Costs (SDC) costs of $40 million. This amount excludes the investment in the Chicago Temporary Casino development project which is largely complete.
Bally’s guidance is based on current plans and expectations and contains several assumptions. The guidance is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” set forth below.
Capital Return Program
During the second quarter, Bally’s repurchased 0.7 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10.7 million. Bally’s currently has $164.1 million available for use under its share repurchase program, subject to limitations in its regulatory and debt agreements.
Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the financial information presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, Bally’s has included in this earnings release non-GAAP financial measures for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, which exclude certain items described below. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables appearing below.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings, or loss, for Bally’s, or where noted Bally’s reportable segments, before, in each case, interest expense, net of interest income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-operating (income) expense, acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, share-based compensation, and certain other gains or losses as well as, when presented for Bally’s reporting segments, an adjustment related to the allocation of corporate costs among segments.
“Adjusted EBITDAR” is Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for Bally’s Casinos & Resorts segment plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases.
Management has historically used Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because Bally’s believes that this metric is necessary to provide a full understanding of Bally’s core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period performance. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a measure that is widely used for evaluating operating performance of companies in Bally’s industry and a principal basis for valuing such companies as well. Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric traditionally used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP net income as an indicator of Bally’s performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDAR as used by Bally’s may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in Bally’s industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.
Bally’s does not provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDAR on a forward-looking basis to net income, its most comparable GAAP financial measure, because Bally’s is unable to forecast the amount or significance of certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items include depreciation, impairment charges, gains or losses on retirement of debt, acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, interest expense, share-based compensation expense, professional and advisory fees associated with Bally’s capital return program and variations in effective tax rate, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events, but which are excluded from Bally’s calculations of Adjusted EBITDAR. Bally’s believes that the probable significance of providing this forward-looking valuation metric without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP metric, is that investors and analysts will have certain information that Bally’s believes is useful and meaningful in valuing its business. Investors are cautioned that Bally’s cannot predict the occurrence, timing or amount of all non-GAAP items that may be excluded from Adjusted EBITDAR in the future. Accordingly, the actual effect of these items, when determined, could potentially be significant to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDAR.
