Appendix A CENTURY CASINOS The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests net 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. With respect to OpCo and the Nugget Casino Resort, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes one-time bonuses paid to OpCo employees related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Expense related to the Company’s Master Lease and Century Downs Racetrack and Casino land 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 EBITDA. 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 EBITDA is not considered a measure of performance recognized under US GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable measure of the relative performance of the Company and its properties. The gaming industry commonly uses Adjusted EBITDA as a method of arriving at the economic value of a casino operation. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to compare the relative operating performance of separate operating units by eliminating the above-mentioned items associated with the varying levels of capital expenditures for infrastructure required to generate revenue and the often high cost of acquiring existing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company’s lending institution to gauge operating performance. The Company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similar measures used by other companies within the gaming industry. With respect to OpCo and the Nugget Casino Resort, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes one-time bonuses paid to OpCo employees related to the COVID-19 pandemic and rent expense, and the Further Adjusted EBITDA multiple described above also excludes pro forma rent expense payable by OpCo to PropCo. The table below provides a reconciliation of OpCo Adjusted EBITDA to Net Earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2021 Net earnings $ 16.0 Interest expense (income), net 0.9 Depreciation and amortization 13.9 Management fees 1.0 One time bonus 0.7 Rent expense 0.3 Adjusted EBITDA $ 32.8 1.
