Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation | Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation Overview Golden Entertainment, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries own and operate a diversified entertainment platform, consisting of a portfolio of gaming assets that focus on casino and distributed gaming operations (including gaming in the Company’s branded taverns). The Company’s portfolio includes eight casino properties located in Nevada. The Company’s Nevada Taverns segment is comprised of the operation of its branded taverns targeting local patrons located primarily in the greater Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area.

(1) Rocky Gap was sold subsequent to the end of the second quarter, as described below. On July 25, 2023, the Company completed the sale of Rocky Gap to Century Casinos, Inc. (“Century”) and VICI Properties, L.P. (“VICI”), an affiliate of VICI Properties Inc., for aggregate consideration of $260 million (the “Rocky Gap Transactions”). Specifically, Century acquired the operations of Rocky Gap from Golden for $56.1 million in cash (subject to adjustment based on Rocky Gap’s working capital and cage cash at closing), and VICI acquired the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap from Golden for $203.9 million in cash. Refer to discussion in “Note 2 — Assets Held for Sale” for further information. On March 3, 2023, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell its distributed gaming operations in Nevada and Montana (the “Distributed Gaming Operations”) to J&J Ventures Gaming, LLC (“J&J Gaming”), for aggregate consideration of $322.5 million. Specifically, J&J Gaming will acquire the Company’s Distributed Gaming Operations in Nevada for $213.5 million in cash plus purchased cash, comprised of cash and cash equivalents related to such operations at the time of closing (subject to adjustment based on working capital and purchased cash at closing), and the Company’s Distributed Gaming operations in Montana for $109 million in cash plus purchased cash, comprised of cash and cash equivalents related to such operations at the time of closing (subject to adjustment based on working capital and purchased cash at closing), subject in each case to the conditions and terms set forth therein (the “Distributed Gaming Transactions”). The sale of the Nevada Distributed Gaming Operations is contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Montana Distributed Gaming Operations. The Company expects the Distributed Gaming Transactions to close during the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. Refer to discussion in “Note 2 — Assets Held for Sale” for further information. Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) has been condensed and/or omitted. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) previously filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which included only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s results for the periods presented. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications were made to the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation, where applicable. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $165.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, which included $44.7 million of cash and cash equivalents related to assets held for sale. Although cash and cash equivalents balances may at times exceed the federal insured deposit limit, the Company believes such risk is mitigated by the quality of the institutions holding such deposits. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share in profitable periods reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding by dividing net income by the weighted-average of all common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding. In the event of a net loss, diluted shares are not considered because of their anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, diluted net income per share excluded the weighted average effect of 74,231 and 4,408 shares of common stock, respectively, related to time-based and performance-based restricted stock units due to such shares being anti-dilutive. No shares of common stock related to time-based and performance-based restricted stock units were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU improves the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. The provisions of this ASU require that an acquiring entity account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures. Management does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards that are not yet effective are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
