Unless otherwise indicated, the term the “Company” refers to Golden Entertainment, Inc. together with its subsidiaries.

The Company completed the sale of its distributed gaming operations in Nevada on January 10, 2024 for cash consideration of $213.5 million plus working capital and other adjustments and net of cash transferred at closing. Prior to the sale, the results of the Company’s distributed gaming operations in Nevada were presented in the Company’s Distributed Gaming reportable segment. Refer to the discussion in “Note 2 — Divestitures” and “Note 11 — Segment Information” for further information. On April 22, 2024, the Company acquired the operations of Great American Pub (“GAP”), comprised of two tavern locations in Nevada, for cash consideration of $7.3 million. The acquired GAP taverns have been included in the Company’s Nevada Taverns reportable segment from the date of acquisition. 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, 2024 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. 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. Diluted net income per share excluded the weighted average effect of 183,237 and 16,913 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 441,814 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2024, related to time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) due to such shares being anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the six months ended June 30, 2024. 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. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. While management continues to assess the possible impact of the adoption of new accounting standards and the future adoption of the new accounting standards that are not yet effective on the Company’s financial statements, management currently believes that the following new standards have or may have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures: Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The provisions of this ASU are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of this ASU to be material to its financial statements or disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The provisions of this ASU are intended to improve disclosures about a public entity’s expenses by providing additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. Further, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Clarifying the Effective Date, intended to clarify interim reporting requirements for non-calendar year-end entities. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of these ASUs to be material to its 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.
