CENTURY CASINOS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Century Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) is a casino entertainment company with operations primarily in North America. The Company’s operations as of September 30, 2024 are detailed below.

The Company owns, operates and manages the following casinos through wholly-owned subsidiaries in North America:

The Century Casino & Hotel in Central City, Colorado (“Central City” or “CTL”)

The Century Casino & Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado (“Cripple Creek” or “CRC”)

Mountaineer Casino, Resort & Races in New Cumberland, West Virginia (“Mountaineer” or “MTR”) (1)

The Century Casino & Hotel in Cape Girardeau, Missouri (“Cape Girardeau” or “CCG”) (1)

The Century Casino & Hotel in Caruthersville, Missouri (“Caruthersville” or “CCV”) (1)

Nugget Casino Resort in Reno-Sparks, Nevada (“Nugget” or “NUG”) (2)

Rocky Gap Casino, Resort & Golf in Flintstone, Maryland (“Rocky Gap” or “ROK”) (1)

The Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (“Century Resorts Alberta” or “CRA”) (1)

The Century Casino St. Albert in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (“St. Albert” or “CSA”) (1)

Century Mile Racetrack and Casino in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (“Century Mile” or “CMR”) (1)

(1)Subsidiaries of VICI Properties Inc. (“VICI”), 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 master lease with the VICI subsidiaries.

(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. During 2024, two of the Company’s sports betting partners requested early termination of their agreements, and the Company agreed to cancel the agreements. Circa Sports (“Circa”) obtained its own master license in Colorado, and the Circa agreement was terminated in May 2024. As part of the Circa termination agreement, 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. Tipico Group Ltd. (“Tipico”) exited the U.S. market, and the Tipico agreement was terminated in July 2024. As part of the Tipico termination agreement, the Company received a payment of $1.6 million that includes sports betting revenue owed from November 2023 to June 2024 and a breakage fee of $1.0 million. The breakage fees were recorded as other revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of loss resulting in $1.0 million and $1.7 million in other revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Prior to the termination of the agreements, revenue from these agreements was $0.5 million per quarter 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 September 30, 2024, 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 4 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 owns the real estate assets underlying this property.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Century Nevada Acquisition, Inc., the Company has a 50% equity interest in Smooth Bourbon. The Company reported this interest as an equity investment through April 2, 2023. On April 3, 2023, following the Company’s acquisition of Nugget Casino Resort, the Company began consolidating Smooth Bourbon as a subsidiary for which it

8

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 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. See “Equity Investment” below in this Note 1 for additional information regarding the consolidation of Smooth Bourbon and Note 3 for additional information about Smooth Bourbon.

The Company previously operated several ship-based casinos. The Company’s last concession agreement to operate a ship-based casino ended on April 16, 2023.

Other Projects and Developments

Nugget Casino Resort in Reno-Sparks, Nevada

In February 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Marnell, pursuant to which a newly formed subsidiary of the Company agreed to purchase from Marnell (i) 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon, and (ii) 100% of the membership interests in Nugget. Nugget owns and operates the Nugget Casino Resort in Reno-Sparks, Nevada, and Smooth Bourbon owns the real property on which the casino is located.

The Company purchased 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon for approximately $95.0 million (the “Smooth Bourbon Acquisition”) at the first closing, which occurred on April 1, 2022 (the “First Closing”). At the second closing (the “Second Closing”) on April 3, 2023, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests in Nugget for approximately $104.7 million (subject to certain adjustments) (the “OpCo Acquisition” and, together with the Smooth Bourbon Acquisition, the “Nugget Acquisition”). Following the Second Closing, the Company owns the Nugget Casino Resort and 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon. The Company also has a five year option through April 1, 2027 to acquire the remaining 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon for $105.0 million plus 2% per annum. At the First Closing, Smooth Bourbon entered into a lease with Nugget for an annual rent of $15.0 million. See Note 3, “Acquisition and Equity Investment – Acquisition – Nugget” for additional information.

Rocky Gap Casino, Resort & Golf in Flintstone, Maryland

In August 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Golden Entertainment Inc. (“Golden”), Lakes Maryland Development, LLC, a subsidiary of Golden (“Lakes Maryland”), and VICI Properties, L.P., an affiliate of VICI (“VICI PropCo”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the operations of Rocky Gap Casino, Resort & Golf (“Rocky Gap” and, such transaction, the “Rocky Gap Acquisition”). Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, by and between Evitts Resort, LLC, a subsidiary of Golden (“Evitts”), and an affiliate of VICI PropCo (“VICI PropCo Buyer”), VICI PropCo Buyer agreed to acquire a related interest in the land and building associated with Rocky Gap from Evitts.

On July 25, 2023, the Company purchased the operations of Rocky Gap for approximately $59.1 million (subject to certain adjustments), and VICI PropCo Buyer purchased a related interest in the land and building associated with Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million. In connection with the Rocky Gap Acquisition, subsidiaries of the Company and a subsidiary of VICI PropCo amended their triple net lease agreement (the “Master Lease”). See Note 3, “Acquisition and Equity Investment – Acquisition – Rocky Gap” and Note 6, “Long-Term Financing Obligation” for additional information regarding the Rocky Gap Acquisition and the amendment to the Master Lease, respectively.

Canada Real Estate Sale

On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into definitive agreements for subsidiaries of VICI to acquire the real estate assets of Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton in Edmonton, Alberta, Century Casino St. Albert in Edmonton, Alberta, Century Mile Racetrack and Casino in Edmonton, Alberta and Century Downs Racetrack and Casino in Calgary, Alberta (collectively, the “Century Canadian Portfolio”). The transaction closed on September 6, 2023, for an aggregate purchase price of CAD 221.7 million ($162.6 million based on the exchange rate on September 6, 2023) in cash (the “Canada Real Estate Sale”). Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, subsidiaries of the Company and of VICI PropCo amended the Master Lease.

Equity Investment – On April 1, 2022, the Company purchased 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon at the First Closing. Smooth Bourbon owns the real property on which the Nugget Casino is located. The additional 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon is held by Marnell. At the time of the purchase of its membership interests in Smooth Bourbon, the Company completed an assessment of whether Smooth Bourbon is a variable interest entity in which it has a financial interest. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that Smooth Bourbon was not subject to consolidation under the guidance for variable interest entities prior to the Nugget Acquisition because Nugget is the primary beneficiary of Smooth Bourbon and reported its interest in Smooth Bourbon as an equity investment. After the Second Closing on April 3, 2023, the Company began consolidating Smooth Bourbon as a subsidiary for which it has a controlling financial interest and no longer reports its interest in Smooth Bourbon as an equity investment. See Note 3 for additional information about Smooth Bourbon.

Cost Recovery Income – Cost recovery income is related to infrastructure built during the development of CDR. The infrastructure was built by the non-controlling shareholders prior to the Company’s acquisition of its controlling ownership interest in CDR. Income received by CDR related to cost recoveries is included in gain on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other. The distribution of cost recovery income to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders is recorded as distributions to non-controlling interests.

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.

11

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280); Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The objective of ASU 2023-07 is to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, as well as enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss and other disclosure requirements. Early adoption of ASU 2023-07 is permitted. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has evaluated its disclosure under ASU 2023-07 and has determined that it will add disclosure of significant segment expenses to its existing segment footnote. In addition, information related to segment assets that had previously been reported annually will be included quarterly. As a result, the Company expects the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its segment footnote.

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.

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.

3. ACQUISITION AND EQUITY INVESTMENT

Acquisition – Nugget

On the Second Closing on April 3, 2023, the Company completed its previously announced Nugget Acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Nugget Sparks, LLC from Marnell. Nugget Sparks, LLC operates the Nugget Casino Resort, located in Reno-Sparks, Nevada. The purchase price paid at the Second Closing was from proceeds of the term loan (“Goldman Term Loan”) under the credit agreement (“Goldman Credit Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“Goldman”) deposited in escrow (“Acquisition Escrow”) on the First Closing date. In connection with the Nugget Acquisition, the Company made an initial payment to Marnell of $104.7 million on April 3, 2023 consisting of a base price of $100.0 million plus adjustments based on working capital of Nugget at closing. The Company made an additional working capital adjustment payment of $0.8 million on August 29, 2023.

As of April 3, 2023, the Company began consolidating Nugget as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Nugget contributed $68.4 million in net operating revenue and ($12.3) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $59.6 million in net operating revenue and $3.3 million in net earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and accordingly, the acquired assets of $256.6 million (including $6.8 million in cash) and liabilities of $194.8 million were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at April 3, 2023. The Nugget Acquisition generated $43.7 million of tax deductible goodwill for the Company’s United States segment. The goodwill from the Nugget Acquisition is attributable to the business expansion opportunity for the Company.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (excluding cash received) was determined to be $55.1 million as of the acquisition date. The fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets were determined using variations of the income, market and cost approaches, including the following methods which the Company considered appropriate:

•multi-period excess earnings method;

•cost method;

•capitalized cash flow method;

•relief from royalty method;

•discounted cash flow method; and

•direct market value approach.

Both the income and market approach valuation methodologies used for the identifiable net assets acquired in the Nugget Acquisition make use of Level 3 inputs and are provisional pending development of a final valuation.

Trade receivables and payables, inventory and other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values as they represented a reasonable approximation of the fair value of those items at the Nugget Acquisition date, based on management’s judgment and estimates.

12

The personal property components of the fixed assets were primarily valued utilizing the market and cost approaches. Certain personal property with an active and identifiable secondary market value were valued using the market approach. This property included, but was not limited to, certain gaming/slot equipment, information and technology equipment and vehicles. The cost approach was utilized to value all other personal property. The cost approach estimates fair value as the current cost of replacing or reproducing the utility of an asset, or group of assets, and adjusting it for any depreciation resulting from one or more of the following: physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and/or economic obsolescence.

The real estate assets that are owned by Smooth Bourbon were adjusted to fair value concurrently with the Nugget Acquisition. The fair value was determined utilizing the direct capitalization method of the income approach. The fair value of the acquired real estate assets was determined to be $184.7 million. The income approach incorporates all tangible and intangible property and served as a ceiling for the fair values of the acquired assets of the ongoing business enterprise, while still taking into account the premise of highest and best use.

The fair value of the customer relationships from the player’s club list was valued using the incremental cash flow method under the income approach. The incremental cash flow method is used to estimate the fair value of an intangible asset based on a residual cash flow notion. This method measures the benefits (e.g., cash flows) derived from ownership of an acquired intangible asset as if it were in place, as compared to the acquirer’s expected cash flows as if the intangible asset were not in place (i.e., with-and-without). The present value difference in the two cash flow streams is ascribable to the intangible asset. The Company has assigned a 10 year useful life to the player loyalty program based on estimated revenue attrition among the player’s club members, based on historical operations as estimated by management.

The fair value of the Nugget trademark was valued using the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method presumes that, without ownership of the asset, the Company would have to make a stream of payments to a brand or franchise owner in return for the right to use their name. By virtue of this asset, the Company avoids any such payments and records the related intangible value of the trademark. The primary assumptions in the valuation included projected revenue, a pre-tax royalty rate, the trademark’s useful life, and tax expense. The Company has assigned the Nugget trademark a 10 year useful life 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.

The Company has finalized the allocation of the purchase price of the Nugget Acquisition. Details of the purchase price allocation for the Nugget Acquisition in the table below are based on fair values of assets and liabilities as of April 3, 2023. The Nugget Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Nugget Acquisition have been recorded at their fair values.

The Company incurred acquisition costs of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, in connection with the Nugget Acquisition. These costs include legal and accounting fees and have been recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Corporate Other segment.

Ancillary Agreements

In connection with the Nugget Acquisition, the Company and the sellers entered into a consulting agreement in December 2022, whereby the sellers agreed to provide the Company with certain consulting services following the Nugget Acquisition. The agreement compensated the sellers for services following the Nugget Acquisition as performed by employees at a monthly rate. Fees incurred under the agreement were $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The agreement ended on September 30, 2023.

Acquisition-Related Contingencies

Nugget is party to various legal and administrative proceedings, which have arisen in the normal course of business and relate to underlying events that occurred on or before April 3, 2023. Estimated losses have been accrued as of the Nugget Acquisition date for these proceedings in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450 “Contingencies” (“ASC Topic 450”), which requires that an amount be accrued if the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations. The Company estimated the range of these contingencies to be between $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2024.

Acquisition – Rocky Gap

On July 25, 2023, the Company completed its previously announced Rocky Gap Acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Evitts Resort, LLC from Lakes Maryland. Evitts Resort, LLC operates Rocky Gap Casino, Resort & Golf, located in Flintstone, Maryland. Simultaneous with the closing of the Rocky Gap Acquisition, affiliates of VICI purchased the land and building associated with Rocky Gap. On July 25, 2023, the Company amended its Master Lease to add the Rocky Gap property. The Rocky Gap Acquisition was financed with $30.0 million borrowed under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) under the Goldman Credit Agreement and cash on hand. In connection with the Rocky Gap Acquisition, the Company made an initial payment to Lakes Maryland of $59.1 million on July 25, 2023. This amount included a base price of $56.1 million plus an adjustment based on the estimated working capital of Rocky Gap at closing. The Company paid an additional $0.1 million in working capital adjustments on December 18, 2023.

As of July 25, 2023, the Company began consolidating Rocky Gap as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Rocky Gap contributed $51.5 million in net operating revenue and ($10.3) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $14.6 million in net operating revenue and ($1.4) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and accordingly, the acquired assets of $244.9 million (including $6.7 million in cash) and liabilities of $212.1 million were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at July 25, 2023. The Rocky Gap Acquisition generated $26.5 million of tax deductible goodwill for the Company’s United States segment. The goodwill from the Rocky Gap Acquisition is attributable to the business expansion opportunity for the Company.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (excluding cash received) was determined to be $26.1 million as of the acquisition date. The fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets were determined using variations of the income, market and cost approaches, including the following methods which the Company considered appropriate:

•multi-period excess earnings method;

The real estate assets that were sold to VICI PropCo Buyer and leased back to the Company were adjusted to fair value concurrently with the Rocky Gap Acquisition. The fair value was determined utilizing the direct capitalization method of the income approach. The fair value of the acquired real estate assets was determined to be $203.9 million. The income approach incorporates all tangible and intangible property and served as a ceiling for the fair values of the acquired assets of the ongoing business enterprise, while still taking into account the premise of highest and best use.

4.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 September 30, 2024 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.

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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.

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.

These estimates do not reflect the impact of future foreign exchange rate changes or the continuation of the licenses following their expiration. The weighted average period before the next license expiration is 4.4 years. In Poland, gaming licenses are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires for 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 closed the Krakow casino in May 2024 and the LIM Center casino in Warsaw in July 2024 due to the expiration of the gaming licenses. CPL applied for new casino licenses for these locations but was notified in October 2024 that it was not awarded the licenses at either location.

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 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 replaced a credit agreement with Macquarie Capital (the “Macquarie Credit Agreement”). The Goldman Credit Agreement provides for the $350.0 million Goldman Term Loan and a $30.0 million Revolving Facility. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the Goldman Term Loan was $337.8 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 Nugget Acquisition (including the Acquisition Escrow), for the repayment of approximately $166.2 million outstanding under the Macquarie Credit Agreement and for related fees and expenses. The Company borrowed $30.0 million from the Revolving Facility on July 20, 2023 to fund the Rocky Gap Acquisition, and repaid the full amount of this borrowing on September 21, 2023.

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.

20

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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, the weighted average interest rates under the Goldman Term Loan were 11.15% and 11.58%, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Goldman Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay the 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 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. The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Goldman Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2024.

Deferred financing costs consist of the Company’s costs related to financings. Amortization expenses relating to the Goldman Credit Agreement were $0.7 million and $2.0 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. These costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Casinos Poland

As of September 30, 2024, CPL had a short-term line of credit with mBank S.A. (“mBank”) used to finance current operations. The line of credit was amended in September 2024 to temporarily increase the borrowing capacity from PLN 5.0 million to PLN 15.0 million through June 2, 2025. The line of credit bears an interest rate of overnight WIBOR plus 2.00% and is available through June 2026. As of September 30, 2024, the credit facility had no outstanding balance and PLN 15.0 million ($3.9 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2024) 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.

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

21

million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2024). The mBank guarantees are secured by land owned by CPL in Kolbaskowo, Poland as well as a deposit of PLN 1.7 million ($0.4 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2024) 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 1.0 million ($0.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2024) in deposits for this purpose as of September 30, 2024. These deposits are included in deposits and other on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Century Resorts Management

CRM previously had a GBP 2.0 million term loan with UniCredit Bank Austria AG (“UniCredit”) that was converted to a USD loan in November 2021. The loan was paid in full in September 2023 and bore an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.625%.

As of September 30, 2024, CRM had a credit agreement with 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 September 30, 2024, the amount outstanding was EUR 1.7 million ($1.9 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2024) 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.

6.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 the fourth quarter of 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 existing four 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 ($12.8 million based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2024) and (iii) extended the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five year renewal options).

22

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 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 has a 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 or the cash payments related to the $4.2 million in additional annual rent related to the Caruthersville project, which have been deferred for 12 months. The deferred rent will be paid over a six month period beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025. Remaining cash rent payments adjusted for CPI for the year ending December 31, 2024 are estimated to be $14.2 million.

7.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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.

8.INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense or benefits are recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $25.3 million on pre-tax loss of ($32.1) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (78.7%) compared to an income tax benefit of ($1.3) million on pre-tax loss of ($11.4) million, representing an effective income tax rate of 11.8% for the same period in 2023. The change in the effective tax rate compared to the same period in 2023 is primarily the result of a valuation allowance recorded during the second quarter of 2024, which is described below.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024.

A number of items caused the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 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.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to the United States, resulting in $23.8 million of tax expense. Based on the analysis of future realization of the United States deferred tax assets, the Company concluded in the second quarter of 2024 that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain deferred tax assets will not be realized and therefore recorded the valuation allowance. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for CMR, CRM and Century Resorts International Ltd.

The Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits due to the Company’s ability to utilize pre-acquisition net operating losses. The Company recognized $0.5 million in income tax benefits during the third quarter of 2024 related to the completion of an examination of its Edmonton property by the Canada Revenue Agency.

9.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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

10. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

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. The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting for the Nugget Acquisition and Rocky Gap Acquisition. Identifiable assets and liabilities assumed were recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition dates. See Note 3 for more information about and accounting for the Nugget Acquisition and Rocky Gap Acquisition. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2024.

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 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.

25

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $5.9 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $3.0 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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. Activity in the Company’s receivables and contract liabilities is presented in the tables below.

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.

12.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 48 years.

13.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 its operating segments 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. 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:

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is a management function comprised of two individuals. These two individuals are the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers. The Company’s chief operating decision makers and management utilize Adjusted EBITDAR as the primary profit measure for its reportable segments.


‎

29

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, 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 view each region in which we operate as a separate operating segment and each casino or other operation within those markets as a reporting unit. 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.

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.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary Century Nevada Acquisition, Inc., we have a 50% equity interest in Smooth Bourbon. Prior to the Nugget Acquisition, we reported this interest as an equity investment in the Corporate Other reportable segment. On April 3, 2023, as a result of closing the Nugget Acquisition, we began consolidating Smooth Bourbon as a subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. The remaining 50% of Smooth Bourbon is owned by Marnell and is reported as a non-controlling financial interest.

The Company previously operated several ship-based casinos. The Company’s last concession agreement to operate a ship-based casino ended on April 16, 2023. See “Corporate and Other” below.

Recent Developments Related to Economic Uncertainty

Current macroeconomic conditions remain very dynamic, including impacts from rising inflation and interest rates, volatile changes in foreign currency exchange rates, political unrest and armed conflicts, and other factors. Any worsening in economic conditions in the regions we operate or globally, or the perception that conditions may worsen, could reduce consumer discretionary spending or increase our costs and erode our net income and cash flows.

Other Projects and Developments

Nugget Casino Resort in Reno-Sparks, Nevada

In February 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with Marnell, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase from Marnell (i) 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon, and (ii) 100% of the membership interests in Nugget. Nugget owns and operates the Nugget Casino Resort in Reno-Sparks, Nevada, and Smooth Bourbon owns the real property on which the casino is located. See Part I, Item 1. Note 3, “Acquisition and Equity Interest” for more information on the acquisition of Nugget.

Rocky Gap Casino, Resort & Golf in Flintstone, Maryland

In August 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with Golden, Lakes Maryland, a subsidiary of Golden, and VICI PropCo, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the operations of Rocky Gap. Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, by and between Evitts and VICI PropCo Buyer, VICI PropCo Buyer agreed to acquire a related interest in the land and building associated with Rocky Gap. See Part I, Item 1. Note 3, “Acquisition and Equity Interest” for more information on the acquisition of Rocky Gap.

Canada Real Estate Sale

In May 2023, we entered into definitive agreements for subsidiaries of VICI to acquire the real estate assets of the Century Canadian Portfolio. Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction in September 2023, our existing Master Lease was amended. Part I, Item 1. Note 1, “Canada Real Estate Sale” for more information on the Canada Real Estate Sale, and Part I, Item 1. Note 6, “Long-Term Financing Obligation” for a discussion of the Master Lease as amended to date.

Caruthersville Land-Based Casino

We opened our new land-based casino with a 38 room hotel in Caruthersville, Missouri on November 1, 2024. 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. As of September 30, 2024, we had received $51.9 million from VICI PropCo and have spent approximately $40.9 million of those funds on this project. We previously amended our Master Lease in December 2022 to provide for an increase in initial annualized rent of approximately $4.2 million related to the Caruthersville project. See Part I, Item 1. Note 6, “Long-Term Financing Obligation” for a discussion of the Master Lease as amended to date. The pavilion building that was the temporary casino location will return to being used as event space.

Cape Girardeau Hotel

We opened our 69 room hotel at our Cape Girardeau location called The Riverview on April 4, 2024. The Riverview is a six story building with 68,000 square feet that is adjacent to and connected with the existing casino building. Construction on the project began in September 2022 and was completed in April 2024. 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2024.

United States (Nugget) – We acquired the operations of the Nugget on April 3, 2023. The Nugget is reported in the United States reportable segment. Nugget’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

$29.2 million in net operating revenue and $0.7 million in net earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

$68.4 million in net operating revenue and ($12.3) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

$32.5 million in net operating revenue and $1.3 million in net earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

$59.6 million in net operating revenue and $3.3 million in net earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

United States (Rocky Gap) – We acquired the operations of Rocky Gap on July 25, 2023. Rocky Gap is reported in the United States reportable segment. Interest expense related to the Master Lease of $4.1 million and $12.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 contributed to the net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the same periods. Rocky Gap’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

$18.7 million in net operating revenue and ($1.8) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

$51.5 million in net operating revenue and ($10.3) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

$14.6 million in net operating revenue and ($1.4) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Increased Interest Expense – Excluding a one-time interest expense of $7.3 million related to the purchase of land at our Century Downs property during the third quarter 2023, interest expense increased by $1.7 million and $17.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The increase was due to the addition of Rocky Gap and the Century Canadian Portfolio to the Master Lease as well as increased interest rates under the Goldman Credit Agreement.

Canada Debt Extinguishment (Century Downs) – The CDR land lease ended on September 6, 2023 in conjunction with the Canada Real Estate Sale. In connection with the sale, we purchased Century Downs land that was previously subject to the CDR land lease. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment related to the CDR land lease of CAD 9.9 million ($7.3 million based on the exchange rate on September 6, 2023) in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Canada (Calgary) – We received earn out payments of CAD 0.5 million ($0.3 million based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2023) and CAD 2.1 million ($1.6 million based on the exchange rate of September 30, 2023) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to the 2020 sale of our Calgary casino operations. The earn out period ended in August 2023, and we did not receive any earn out payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Sports Betting (Colorado) – We mutually agreed to cancel two of our sports betting agreements in Colorado. Circa obtained its own master license in Colorado, and the Circa agreement was terminated in May 2024. As part of the Circa 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. Tipico exited the U.S. market, and the Tipico agreement was terminated in July 2024. As part of the Tipico termination agreement, the Company received a payment of $1.6 million that includes sports betting revenue owed from November 2023 to June 2024 and a breakage fee of $1.0 million. The breakage fees were recorded as other revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of loss resulting in $1.0 million and $1.7 million in other revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Prior to the termination of the agreements, revenue from these agreements was $0.5 million per quarter in our United States segment.

37

Inflation and Staffing – During 2023, we saw material increases in our operating expenses at our properties, including payroll wages and benefits, insurance and utilities, maintenance costs and food and beverage costs. We also experienced difficulties attracting and retaining staff at some locations in the US and Canada. As a result, during 2023, we adjusted hours of some food and beverage outlets, the number of table games open and the number of rooms available at some of our hotels. We were able to make adjustments during non-peak times to mitigate some of the impact to our operating results. We have not seen material impacts to our operations in 2024 due to inflation and staffing and are not currently adjusting hours at our facilities to mitigate staffing issues.

Weather – Inclement weather in the United States impacted revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 for our Colorado and West Virginia properties.

Following is a breakout of earnings from operations by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023:

United States decreased by ($1.6) million, or (8.2%), and by ($10.9) million, or (21.0%).

Canada increased by $1.7 million, or 83.2%, and by $1.5 million, or 13.8%.

Poland decreased by ($2.5) million, or (195.5%), and by ($6.6) million, or (127.6%).

Corporate and Other increased by $5.8 million, or 67.0%, and by $4.9 million, or 30.7%.

Net loss decreased by ($6.1) million, or (42.7%), and increased by $45.9 million, or 264.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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. Increased interest expense negatively impacted net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders. Interest expense increased primarily due to additional properties added to the Master Lease. Net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders also was impacted by the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets related to the United States, resulting in $23.8 million of income tax expense during the second quarter of 2024. For a discussion of these items, see “Non-Operating Income (Expense)” and “Taxes” below in this Item 2.

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, 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 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 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.

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 599 slot machines and nine live table games, a 50% increase in gaming positions compared with the 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. The Walker’s Bluff Casino in Illinois, which opened in August 2023, has increased competition for our Missouri casinos, primarily our Cape Girardeau casino. However, we believe that our marketing efforts have been effective in offsetting this competition to date.

We began consolidating Nugget and Smooth Bourbon in the United States segment on April 3, 2023 following the Second Closing of the Nugget Acquisition, and we began consolidating Rocky Gap on July 25, 2023 following the closing of the Rocky Gap Acquisition.

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

42

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. A petition campaign in Missouri to allow voters to determine whether to amend the state constitution to allow sports wagering in the state has gained sufficient signatures and will appear on the November 2024 ballot. If approved, sports betting could be legalized in Missouri by mid-2025. We have partnered with sports betting operators to conduct sports betting at our Missouri casinos if legalized.

As stated above, our sports betting agreements in Colorado with Circa and Tipico ended in May 2024 and July 2024, respectively.

In Cripple Creek, a competitor across the street from our casino completed an expansion in late December 2023. The increased availability of hotel rooms in Cripple Creek increased the overall Cripple Creek market. We believe that we can benefit from any increases in the overall market from nearby expanded hotels or otherwise; however, future periods also could be negatively impacted by this competitor or others, either through decreased market share or revenue or increased costs of promotional offers by us in order to compete.

In Central City, one potential competing casino may open in 2025. An increase in competitors in that market could lead to a decrease in visitors at our casino and have a negative impact on our results of operations in Central City.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

The following discussion highlights results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

East – Increased net operating revenue and operating costs and expenses were due to the acquisition of Rocky Gap in July 2023. Net operating revenue from our West Virginia operations decreased due to decreased gaming, hotel and food and beverage revenue, offset by increased pari-mutuel revenue. Revenue in West Virginia has not rebounded to the levels we saw prior to the legalization of sports betting in Ohio in January 2023. Operating expenses in West Virginia decreased primarily due to decreased gaming-related expenses.

Midwest – Net operating revenue increased primarily due to increased hotel and food and beverage revenue at our Cape Girardeau location due to the opening of The Riverview in April 2024. In addition, net operating revenue increased by $1.0 million due to a breakage fee from the termination of our sports betting agreement with Tipico. Revenue from the sports betting agreement was approximately $0.2 million per quarter. The increased revenue was partially offset by decreased gaming revenue at all locations. Operating expenses in the Midwest operating segment increased due to increased payroll, marketing and operating costs, primarily at the Cape Girardeau location due to the opening of The Riverview.

West – Gaming, hotel and other revenue at the Nugget decreased primarily due to decreased hotel group bookings in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023, which also impacted food and beverage revenue. Beginning mid-April 2024, we began implementing cost saving measures at the Nugget. These measures include marketing improvements, staffing changes and a change to our housekeeping program in the hotel. The cost saving measures have decreased operating expenses by approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

The following discussion highlights results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

East – Increased net operating revenue and operating costs and expenses were due to the acquisition of Rocky Gap. Net operating revenue from our West Virginia operations decreased due to decreased gaming, hotel and food and beverage revenue, offset by increased pari-mutuel revenue. In Maryland and West Virginia, snow and inclement weather negatively impacted revenue in the first quarter of 2024 over three weekends, which are generally our busier days of the week. Moreover, revenue in West Virginia has not rebounded to the levels we saw prior to the legalization of sports betting in Ohio in January 2023. Operating expenses in West Virginia decreased primarily due to gaming-related expenses.

Midwest – Net operating revenue increased primarily due to increased hotel and food and beverage revenue at our Cape Girardeau location due to the opening of The Riverview in April 2024. In addition, net operating revenue increased by $1.7 million due to breakage fees from the termination of our sports betting agreements with Circa and Tipico. Revenue from these sports betting agreements was approximately $0.5 million per quarter. Revenue at our Central City property was negatively impacted by inclement weather in the first quarter of 2024. Revenue at our Cripple Creek property has been relatively flat year to date compared to 2023. Operating expenses in the Midwest operating segment increased due to increased payroll, marketing and operating costs, primarily at the Cape Girardeau location due to the opening of The Riverview.

West – As a new operating segment, all increases are due to the acquisition of the Nugget in April 2023. Inclement weather over holiday weekends negatively impacted revenue at the Nugget during the first quarter of 2024, and we had three fewer concerts in the second quarter of 2024. In addition, decreased hotel group bookings throughout 2024 negatively impacted hotel and food and beverage revenue compared to 2023. Beginning mid-April 2024, we began implementing cost saving measures at the Nugget. These measures include marketing improvements, staffing changes and a change to our housekeeping program in the hotel. These cost savings will be approximately $1.0 million per quarter.

A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders to Adjusted EBITDAR can be found in the “Non-US GAAP Measures Definitions and Calculations – Adjusted EBITDAR” discussion above.

We received earn out payments of CAD 0.5 million ($0.3 million based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2023) and CAD 2.1 million ($1.6 million based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2023) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, from the sale of the Calgary casino operations in 2020 that is recorded to gain on sale of casino operations in our condensed consolidated statements of loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

In February 2023, the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (“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. The increase in the slot machine net sales retention percentage has had a positive impact on net operating revenue and results of operations at our Canadian properties. Effective August 1, 2023, the AGLC extended the operating hours for slot machines by 30 minutes on weekdays and 90 minutes on weekends.

In September 2023, we completed the Canada Real Estate Sale. Interest expense, excluding interest expense related to the debt extinguishment of the CDR land lease, increased $2.1 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, due to the addition of the Canadian properties to the Master Lease. The CDR land lease ended on September 6, 2023 in conjunction with the Canada Real Estate Sale and we recorded $7.3 million related to the debt extinguishment of the CDR land lease as interest expense in the Canada segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

A competitor is requesting to relocate their casino from west 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 (1.7%) and (1.1%) decrease in the average exchange rate between the US dollar and Canadian dollar for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

The following discussion highlights results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Explanations below are provided based on CAD results.

Decreased gaming and food and beverage revenue at our Century Downs location due to a 2023 event that did not recur in 2024 was offset by increased gaming revenue at our Edmonton location. Operating costs and expenses decreased due to one-time costs of CAD 1.9 million ($1.4 million) related to the Canada Real Estate sale in 2023, decreased utility costs and decreased marketing expenses at Century Downs from additional marketing costs in 2023 for the event that did not recur in 2024.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

The following discussion highlights results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Explanations below are provided based on CAD results.

Gaming and food and beverage revenue increased at all of our Canada locations except Century Downs, which had decreased food and beverage revenue due to a 2023 event that did not recur in 2024. The increase in gaming revenue was partially due to the additional 2% slot machine net sales retained starting April 1, 2023. Operating costs and expenses decreased due to one-time costs of CAD 1.9 million ($1.4 million) related to the Canada Real Estate sale in 2023, decreased utility costs and decreased marketing expenses at Century Downs from additional marketing costs in 2023 for the event that did not recur in 2024 offset by increased payroll costs.

A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders to Adjusted EBITDAR can be found in the “Non-US GAAP Measures Definitions and Calculations – Adjusted EBITDAR” discussion above.

In Poland, casino gaming licenses are granted for a term of six years. These licenses are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires for 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 we apply for a new license prior to the expiration of a current license, there is no guarantee that a new license will be awarded prior to the expiration of the current license or at all. We closed our Wroclaw casino in November 2023 due to the expiration of the gaming license. We were awarded a license for the Wroclaw casino in December 2023 and reopened the casino at a new location on October 24, 2024. We closed the casinos in Bielsko-Biala and Katowice in October 2023 due to the expiration of the gaming licenses. New licenses were awarded in February 2024 for each, and the casinos were reopened in February 2024 and March 2024, respectively. We closed the Krakow casino in May 2024 and the LIM Center casino in Warsaw in July 2024 due to the expiration of the gaming licenses. CPL applied for new casino licenses for these locations but was notified in October 2024 that it was not awarded the licenses at either location.

Results in US dollars were impacted by a 5.7% and 6.4% increase in the average exchange rate between the US dollar and Polish zloty for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

The following discussion highlights results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Net operating revenue decreased because our last remaining ship-based casino contract ended in April 2023. Total operating costs and expenses, including general and administrative expenses, decreased due to decreased acquisition costs, as our material acquisition activity was completed in 2023, as well as decreased payroll expense and decreased stock compensation expense offset by increased professional services expenses. Earnings from equity investment relates to income from our 50% membership interests in Smooth Bourbon prior to its consolidation in the United States reportable segment on April 3, 2023.

A reconciliation of net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders to Adjusted EBITDAR can be found in the “Non-US GAAP Measures Definitions and Calculations – Adjusted EBITDAR” discussion above.

Interest income

Interest income is primarily related to interest earned on our cash reserves and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, interest from the Acquisition Escrow. We earned approximately $0.2 million and $1.0 million in interest income in Canada from the funds from the Canada Real Estate Sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Acquisition Escrow was used to fund the Nugget Acquisition on April 3, 2023.

Interest expense

Interest expense is directly related to interest owed on our borrowings under our Goldman Credit Agreement, our financing obligation under the Master Lease with VICI PropCo, our CPL and CRM borrowings, our capital lease agreements and, prior to the Canada Real Estate Sale, interest expense related to the CDR land lease. Increases in interest expense were primarily due to increased interest related to the addition of Rocky Gap and the Century Canadian Portfolio to the financing obligation under the Master Lease and increased interest rates under the Goldman Credit Agreement.

Gain on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other

Cost recovery income is related to infrastructure built during the development of CDR. The infrastructure was built by the non-controlling shareholders prior to our acquisition of our controlling ownership interest in CDR. Cost recovery income of $1.1 million was received by CDR for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to infrastructure built during the development of the Century Downs REC project. The distribution to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders is part of an agreement between CRM and CDR. Cost recovery income of $3.5 million was received by CDR for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Taxes

Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized income tax expense of $25.3 million on pre-tax loss of ($32.1) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (78.7%) compared to an income tax benefit of ($1.3) million on pre-tax loss of ($11.4) million, representing an effective income tax rate of 11.8% for the same period in 2023. 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 8, “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.

Cash flows from operations decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to $12.2 million in income tax payments related to the Canada Real Estate Sale and increased interest expense. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in earnings from operations, excluding non-cash charges. Please refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and to management’s discussion of the results of operations above in this Item 2 for a discussion of earnings from operations.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of $6.9 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 $4.5 million in proceeds from borrowings net of principal payments.

Borrowings and Repayments of Long-Term Debt and Lease Agreements

As of September 30, 2024, our total debt under bank borrowings and other agreements, net of $12.1 million related to deferred financing costs, was $327.5 million, of which $322.5 million was long-term debt and $5.0 million was the current portion of long-term debt. The current portion relates to payments due within one year under our Goldman Credit Agreement and the UniCredit Term Loan. 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 5, “Long-Term Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Net Debt was $220.9 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to $158.9 million as of September 30, 2023. The increase in net debt is due to decreased cash partially offset by decreased debt due to scheduled principal repayments and the repurchase of approximately $3.5 million under our Goldman Term Loan for 97% of its value in February 2024. 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 September 30, 2024, estimated cash payments due under the Master Lease for the remainder of 2024 are $14.2 million, which includes a CPI 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. As a result, the deferred rent will be paid over a six month period beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025. Estimated cash payments to the non-controlling partners under the lease between Smooth Bourbon and Nugget (the “Nugget Lease”) for the remainder of 2024 are $1.9 million.

Rent expense related to the Master Lease and CDR Land Lease is included in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of loss. The Nugget Lease is considered an intercompany lease, and income and expense related to the lease are eliminated in consolidation. The 50% interest in the Nugget Lease owned by Marnell through Smooth Bourbon is recorded as noncontrolling interest on our condensed consolidated statements of loss.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

Since March 2000, we have had a discretionary program to repurchase our outstanding common stock. The total amount remaining under the repurchase program was $14.7 million as of September 30, 2024. We did not repurchase any common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 but may elect to do so in the future. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date.

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 September 30, 2024, we had $118.8 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $171.3 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents decreased primarily due to tax payments related to the Canada Real Estate Sale of $12.2 million and purchases of property and equipment of $44.5 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 September 30, 2024, we had $30.0 million available on our Revolving Facility.

Completed and Planned Projects

Planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2024 include approximately $7.6 million in gaming equipment and renovations to various properties. We completed construction on The Riverview, a hotel at our Cape Girardeau location, in March 2024 and opened the hotel on April 4, 2024. The project cost approximately $30.5 million. We funded the project with cash on hand. 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. As of September 30, 2024, we had received $51.9 million from VICI PropCo and had spent approximately $40.9 million on this project. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $11.0 million of cash included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet that was previously funded by VICI PropCo that had not yet been spent on the project. We estimate that we will spend the $11.0 million during the remainder of 2024 or early 2025.

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.

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 $68.2 million of our total $118.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 is held by our foreign subsidiaries and is 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.

Item 5. Other Information

(a)On November 1, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries amended or terminated the employment and management arrangements with Dr. Erwin Haitzmann and Mag. Peter Hoetzinger, the Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company, or entities controlled by them, as described below.

Dr. Haitzmann

Due in part to an internal organizational restructuring, the Company and Dr. Haitzmann mutually agreed to terminate his employment agreement with Century Resorts Management GmbH (“CRM”) and combine the terms and conditions of his services to the Company into the management agreement (the “Flyfish Agreement”) with Flyfish Management & Consulting AG , an entity controlled by Dr. Haitzmann. In connection therewith, the Company and Dr. Haitzmann entered into a Termination Agreement, pursuant to which Dr. Haitzmann was entitled to certain statutory severance payments and unused vacation days, but no other benefits.

52

The Company and Dr. Haitzmann also amended and restated the Flyfish Agreement and assigned the agreement to Century Resorts International Ltd. (“CRI”). The amended Flyfish Agreement migrated certain terms that were found in Dr. Haitzmann’s employment agreement relating to compensation, termination rights and severance obligations into the Flyfish Agreement. The amended Flyfish Agreement extended the term through October 2029 and modified certain provisions related to changes in control as well as equity award vesting to align with the Company’s equity incentive plan.

Mr. Hoetzinger

In connection with the foregoing, the Company and Mr. Hoetzinger amended his employment agreement (the “Hoetzinger Agreement”), which modified certain provisions related to equity award vesting to align with the Company’s equity incentive plan and clarify certain payment rights in a termination scenario. The Company and Mr. Hoetzinger also amended and restated the management agreement (the “Focus Agreement”) between the Company and Focus Lifestyle & Entertainment AG, an entity controlled by Mr. Hoetzinger. The amended Focus Agreement made similar changes to the amended Flyfish Agreement discussed above in order to mirror the rights and obligations found in Mr. Hoetzinger’s employment agreement. The amended Focus Agreement was also extended through October 2029 and was assigned to CRI.

Except as modified, the Hoetzinger Agreement, the Focus Agreement and Flyfish Agreement all remain in effect according to their terms. The terminations, amendments and agreements have been approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.

Employment Agreements

On November 1, 2024, the Company also entered into amended employment agreements with Margaret Stapleton, Chief Financial Officer, Andreas Terler, Managing Director of CRM and Executive Vice President, Operations - United States, and Nikolaus Strohriegel, Managing Director of CRM and Executive Vice President, Operations - Canada and Europe, and an employment agreement with Timothy Wright, Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller. The amendments and agreements have been approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.

The amendment to Ms. Stapleton’s agreement extends the term of her employment from 2024 to 2029 with automatic five-year extensions thereafter, unless the employment agreement is sooner terminated, and adds a provision regarding payments upon her termination following a change in control, as defined in the Company’s equity incentive plan. Ms. Stapleton’s current base salary is unchanged. The employment agreement for Mr. Wright and the amended employment agreements for Messrs. Terler and Strohriegel specify their duties and continue their current base salaries. Mr. Wright’s employment agreement has a term of five years, beginning on November 1, 2024, with automatic five-year extensions thereafter, unless the employment agreement is sooner terminated. The amended employment agreements for Messrs. Terler and Strohriegel have indefinite terms, subject to termination in accordance with the terms of the employment agreements. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company will annually review each executive’s salary and target bonuses. Each executive is eligible to receive equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plan. The employment agreement provides for certain payments and benefits to be made to each executive if his employment is terminated without Cause or if he resigns for Good Reason (each, as defined in the employment agreement). These payments and benefits include, among other things: (i) a payment equal to (A) two times his base salary plus (B) the average of his bonuses for the last three years, payable in monthly installments for two years following the termination, and (ii) immediate vesting of all of the executive’s unvested stock and stock options. The employment agreements contain customary indemnification provisions and a “clawback” provision that enables the Company to recoup any amounts paid to the executive under the employment agreement in accordance with the Company’s clawback policy, as it may be amended.

The foregoing descriptions of the terminations, amendments and agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such terminations, amendments and agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1-10.8 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.

(c)None of our directors or executive officers adopted, modified, or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.
