Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

Since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the Company’s casinos varied their operations based on the governmental health and safety requirements in the jurisdictions in which they are located. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Company’s results of operations in 2020 and the first half of 2021, and into the first quarter of 2022 for its Canada properties. Currently, the Company’s operations have no health and safety requirements for entry and few other COVID-19 related restrictions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. The Company cannot predict the negative impacts that COVID-19 will have on its consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had a material impact on the Company’s financial results and the effects of COVID-19, ongoing governmental health and safety requirements and any future closures could have a material impact on the Company. The Company will continue to monitor its liquidity and make reductions to marketing and operating expenditures, where possible, if future government mandates or closures are required that would have an adverse impact on the Company.

Other Projects and Developments

Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada

In February 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Marnell Gaming, LLC (“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 Sparks, LLC (“Nugget”). Nugget owns and operates the Nugget Casino Resort in 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”). The Company used approximately $29.3 million of cash on hand and borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement (see Note 5) in connection with the First Closing. On April 3, 2023 (the “Second Closing”), the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests in Nugget for approximately $100.0 million (subject to certain adjustments) (the “OpCo Acquisition” and, together with the Smooth Bourbon Acquisition, the “Nugget Acquisition”). The purchase price for the OpCo Acquisition was paid from proceeds of the term loan under the Goldman Credit Agreement deposited in escrow (“Acquisition Escrow”) on the First Closing date. Following the Second Closing, the Company owns the operating assets of 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.

Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Flintstone, Maryland

On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Lakes Maryland Development, LLC (“Lakes Maryland”), Golden Entertainment, Inc (“Golden”), and VICI Properties, L.P. (“VICI PropCo”), an affiliate of VICI, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the operations of Rocky Gap Casino Resort (“Rocky Gap”) for approximately $56.1 million subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein (the “Rocky Gap Acquisition”). Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, by and between Evitts Resort, LLC (“Evitts”) and an affiliate of VICI PropCo (“VICI PropCo Buyer”), VICI PropCo Buyer agreed to acquire the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million, subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. In connection with the closing of this transaction, subsidiaries of the Company and VICI PropCo will enter into an amendment to their triple net lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) to (i) add Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) provide for an initial annual rent for Rocky Gap of approximately $15.5 million and (iii) extend the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five year renewal options). On April 27, 2023, the Company was approved for a gaming license by the Maryland State Lottery & Gaming Control Agency. Additional regulatory approvals are required prior to the Rocky Gap Acquisition closing, which is expected to occur in the summer of 2023.

Recent Developments Related to Century Casino Caruthersville

On October 26, 2022, the Missouri Gaming Commission (“MGC”) approved the relocation of the casino at Century Casino Caruthersville from the riverboat and the barge to a land-based pavilion until the new land-based casino and hotel are completed. On October 13, 2022, the riverboat, which had operated since 1994, had to be closed as it was no longer accessible from the barge because of the record low water levels in the Mississippi River. The riverboat had 519 slot machines and seven table games. From October 2022 to December 2022, the casino operated from the barge with 299 slot machines and four table games. The move to the pavilion, which has 424 slot machines and six table games, was completed in late December 2022. The pavilion building will not be affected by water levels, is protected by a flood wall and provides for easier access to the casino for customers than the riverboat. The riverboat and barge were removed on February 25, 2023.

Cape Girardeau Hotel

The Company is building a 69 room hotel at its Cape Girardeau location.

The transaction closed on December 1, 2020.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management’s use of estimates includes estimates for property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and income tax.

Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts – The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD” or “$”). Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies. These transactions are typically denominated in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Polish zloty (“PLN”). Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in income from operations as they occur.

The exchange rates to the US dollar used to translate balances at the end of the reported periods are as follows:

|  | As of March 31, |  | As of December 31,
Ending Rates |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Canadian dollar (CAD) |  | 1.3530 |  | 1.3550
Euros (EUR) |  | 0.9178 |  | 0.9393
Polish zloty (PLN) |  | 4.2886 |  | 4.4004

The average exchange rates to the US dollar used to translate balances during each reported period are as follows:

|  | For the three months |  |
|  | ended March 31, |  |
Average Rates |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change
Canadian dollar (CAD) |  | 1.3523 |  | 1.2669 |  | (6.7%)
Euros (EUR) |  | 0.9324 |  | 0.8909 |  | (4.7%)

The Company will evaluate its investment in Smooth Bourbon for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. See Note 3 for additional information about Smooth Bourbon.

4.GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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 March 31, 2023 were 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, EBITDA 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, heightened by the possibility of additional effects of COVID-19, 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.

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.

Trademarks

The Company currently owns three trademarks, the Century Casinos trademark, the Mountaineer trademark and the Casinos Poland trademark, which are reported as intangible assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Trademarks: Finite-Lived

The Company has determined that the Mountaineer trademark, reported in the United States segment, has a useful life 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 trade name. As such, the trademark will be amortized over its useful life. 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 earnings. Changes in the carrying amount of the Mountaineer trademark are as follows:

Goldman Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (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 the Macquarie Credit Agreement discussed below. The Goldman Credit Agreement provides for a $350.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $346.5 million and the Company had $30.0 million available to borrow on the Revolving Facility. The Company used the Goldman Credit Agreement to fund the Smooth Bourbon Acquisition, for the repayment of approximately $166.2 million outstanding under the Macquarie Credit Agreement, to fund the Acquisition Escrow and for related fees and expenses.

15

The 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 Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000 equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity.

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 Term Loan is 6.00% per annum with respect to SOFR Loans and 5.00% per annum with respect to ABR Loans. 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 less than $0.1 million were recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) earnings for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2023.

Deferred financing costs consist of the Company’s costs related to financings. Amortization expenses relating to the Goldman Credit Agreement were $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Credit Agreement – Macquarie Capital

In December 2019, the Company entered into a $180.0 million credit agreement with Macquarie Capital Funding LLC, as swingline lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and the Lenders and L/C Lenders party thereto (the “Macquarie Credit Agreement”). The Macquarie Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal (the “BMO Credit Agreement”). The Macquarie Credit Agreement provided for a $170.0 million term loan (the “Macquarie Term Loan”) and a $10.0 million Revolving Facility (the “Macquarie Revolving Facility”). The Macquarie Revolving Facility included up to $5.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit.

CPL’s PLN 2.5 million term loan with mBank was paid in full in September 2022. The term loan bore an interest rate of 1-month WIBOR plus 1.90%. CPL’s PLN 10.0 million short-term line of credit was amended in April 2022, and the PLN 2.5 million that was available for cash borrowing was removed from the line of credit. The short term line of credit was terminated in October 2022.

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. The line of credit was amended in April 2023 to extend the line of credit through May 30, 2023 while negotiations for an additional one year extension are completed.

Under Polish gaming law, CPL is required to maintain PLN 3.6 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 3.6 million ($0.8 million based on the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2023).

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino

CDR’s land lease is a financing obligation of the Company. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of its ownership interest in CDR, CDR sold a portion of the land on which the REC project is located and then entered into an agreement to lease back a portion of the land sold. The Company accounts for the lease using the financing method by accounting for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. Under the land lease, CDR has four options to purchase the land. In March 2023, the Company amended the land lease to extend the first option date from July 1, 2023 to September 1, 2023. Due to the nature of the CDR land lease financing obligation, there are no principal payments due until the Company exercises its option to purchase the land. Lease payments are applied to interest only, and any change in the outstanding balance of the financing obligation relates to foreign currency translation. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance on the financing obligation was CAD 19.5 million ($14.4 million based on the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2023).

As of March 31, 2023, scheduled maturities related to long-term debt were as follows:

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 the sale and leaseback transaction for the Acquired Casino properties. The Tenant entered into the Master Lease with the Landlord to lease the real estate assets of the Acquired Casinos. The Master Lease does not transfer control of the Acquired Casino properties to VICI PropCo subsidiaries. On December 1, 2022, the Master Lease was amended (the “Master Lease Amendment”) to provide 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 and (iii) other related modifications.

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, which is estimated to be $28.5 million.

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 imputed discount rate of approximately 10.1%. 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.

18

The Master Lease provides for the lease of land, buildings, structures and other improvements on the land (including barges and riverboats), easements and similar appurtenances to the land and improvements relating to the operations of the leased properties. The Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years with no purchase option (which term will be extended for 15 years from the date of the Master Lease amendment). At the Company’s option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to four five year renewal terms beyond the initial 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 Missouri and West Virginia properties, 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 payable under the Master Lease, as amended by the Master Lease Amendment on December 1, 2022, is:

An initial annual rent (the “Rent”) of approximately $25.0 million.

The Rent will escalate at a rate of 1.01% for the 2 nd and 3 rd years and the greater of either 1.0125% (the “Base Rent Escalator”) or the increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for each year starting in the 4 th year. In addition, Rent will increase by approximately $4.2 million on the “CapEx Project Incremental Rent Increase Date” (as defined in the Master Lease Amendment).

The Base Rent Escalator is subject to adjustment from and after the 6 th year if the Minimum Rent Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Master Lease) is not satisfied.

The estimated future payments include the payments and adjustments to reflect estimated payments as described in the Master Lease, including an annual escalator of up to 1.0125%. The estimated future payments are not adjusted for increases based on the CPI. Rent adjusted for CPI for the year ended December 31, 2023 is estimated to be $27.5 million, excluding the increased rent due to the Rocky Gap Acquisition discussed below.

7.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation – From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising from normal business operations. The Company does not expect the outcome of such 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 three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $1.6 million on pre-tax earnings of $4.7 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 34.9% compared to income tax expense of $1.4 million on pre-tax earnings of $4.1 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 34.6% for the same period in 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 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 three months ended March 31, 2023.

A number of items caused the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to differ from the US federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, including taxation of global intangible low-tax income (GILTI) in the United States, a 23% statutory tax rate in Canada, certain nondeductible business expenses in Poland, and various exchange rate benefits. As of March 31, 2023, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for CMR, CRM and Century Resorts International Ltd.

Additionally, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $0.5 million due to the Company’s ability to utilize pre-acquisition net operating losses. The Company received notification of an examination by Canada Revenue Agency, and it will assess the ability to recognize the $0.5 million in tax benefits upon completion of the examination. The Company believes that the examination will not conclude until 2024.

9.EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic earnings 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

|  | For the three months
|  | ended March 31,
Amounts in thousands |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Weighted average common shares, basic |  |  | 30,056 |  |  | 29,661
Dilutive effect of stock options |  |  | — |  |  | 1,674
Weighted average common shares, diluted |  |  | 30,056 |  |  | 31,335

The following stock options are anti-dilutive and have not been included in the weighted average shares outstanding calculation:

|  | For the three months
|  | ended March 31,
Amounts in thousands |  | 2023 |  | 2022

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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

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. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Long-Term Debt – The carrying value of the Goldman Credit Agreement, the UniCredit Term Loans and CPL’s short-term line of credit approximate fair value based on the variable interest paid on the obligations. The carrying value of the UniCredit Term Loan 2 approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the agreement. The estimated fair values of the outstanding balances under the Goldman Credit Agreement and UniCredit Term Loan 1 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.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 $1.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 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.

|  | For the three months |  | For the three months

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 14 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 market in which it operates as a separate operating segment and each casino or other operation within those markets 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 its concession, management and consulting agreements and 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 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 EBITDA as the primary profit measure for its reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA 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, 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. 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 EBITDA 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 EBITDA is not considered a measure of performance recognized under US GAAP.

The OpCo Acquisition was financed with funds from the Acquisition Escrow previously borrowed under the Goldman Credit Agreement.

Nugget did no t contribute any net operating revenue or net (loss) earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company is currently completing the fair value assessment of the acquired operations and, as such, the fair value of assets and liabilities of Nugget that will be recognized has not been disclosed.

The Company has incurred acquisition costs related to the OpCo Acquisition of approximately less than $0.1 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The costs include legal and accounting fees and have been recorded as general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings.

The Company is currently completing the fair value assessment of the acquired operations and, as such, adjustments to Nuggets operating results based on the fair value of assets and liabilities of Nugget as if the OpCo Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparable period presented have not been disclosed.

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, bowling and entertainment facilities that are in most instances a part of the casinos.

We view each market 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 concession agreements, management agreements, consulting agreements and certain other corporate and management operations that we report as Corporate and Other.

‎

28

The table below provides information about the aggregation of our operating segments and reporting units into reportable segments. 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. The real estate assets at our West Virginia and Missouri operating segments are owned by VICI PropCo and leased to us under the Master Lease. The land on which the REC and racetracks at Century Downs and Century Mile are located is leased.

Reportable Segment | Operating Segment | Reporting Unit

(3)Our equity investment in Smooth Bourbon is included in the Corporate Other reporting unit.

In February 2022, we sold the land and building we owned in Calgary, transferred the lease agreement for the casino premises to the buyer and ceased operating Century Sports, a sports bar, bowling and entertainment facility located on the property. Prior to the sale, Century Sports was included in the Calgary operating segment.

We have controlling financial interests through our subsidiary CRM in the following reporting units:

We have a 66.6% ownership interest in CPL and we consolidate CPL as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports owns the remaining 33.3% of CPL. We account for and report the 33.3% Polish Airports ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. CPL has been in operation since 1989. As of March 31, 2023, CPL owned and operated eight casinos throughout Poland. The following table summarizes information about CPL’s casinos as of March 31, 2023.

City | Location | License Expiration | Number of Slots | Number of Tables
Warsaw | Marriott Hotel | September 2028 | 70 | 37
Warsaw | Hilton Hotel | July 2024 | 70 | 26
Warsaw | LIM Center | June 2025 | 65 | 4
Bielsko-Biala | Hotel President | October 2023 | 49 | 5
Katowice | Park Inn by Radisson | October 2023 | 70 | 14

Krakow | Dwor Kosciuszko Hotel | May 2024 | 70 | 5
Lodz | Manufaktura Entertainment Complex | June 2024 | 69 | 10

In September 2022, CPL transferred the casino license for the Warsaw Marriott Hotel expiring in July 2024 to the Warsaw Hilton Hotel, and CPL was granted a new license for the Warsaw Marriott Hotel expiring in September 2028.

Casino licenses are granted for six years. When a casino license expires, the Polish Minister of Finance notifies the public of its availability, and interested parties can submit an application for the casino license. Following approval of a casino license by the Minister of Finance, there is a period in which applicants can appeal the decision.

We have a 75% ownership interest in CDR, and we consolidate CDR as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. We account for and report the remaining 25% ownership interest in CDR as a non-controlling financial interest. CDR operates Century Downs Racetrack and Casino, a REC in Balzac, a north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. CDR is the only horse racetrack in the Calgary area and is located less than one-mile north of the city limits of Calgary and 4.5 miles from the Calgary International Airport.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary Century Nevada Acquisition, Inc., we have a 50% equity interest in Smooth Bourbon. We report this interest as an equity investment. See Note 3, “Equity Investment,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

As of March 31, 2023, we also had a concession agreement for one ship-based casino. The agreement ended on April 16, 2023. See “Corporate and Other” below.

Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

Since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, our casinos varied their operations based on the governmental health and safety requirements in the jurisdictions in which they are located. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our results of operations in 2020 and the first half of 2021, and into the first quarter of 2022 for our Canada properties. Currently, our operations have no health and safety requirements for entry and few other COVID-19 related restrictions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. We cannot predict the negative impacts that COVID-19 will have on our consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had a material impact on us. The effects of COVID-19, ongoing governmental health and safety requirements and any future closures could have a material impact on us. We will continue to monitor our liquidity and make reductions to marketing and operating expenditures, where possible, if future government mandates or closures are required that would have an adverse impact on us.

Other Projects and Developments

Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada

In February 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with Marnell, pursuant to which we, through a newly formed subsidiary, 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 Sparks, Nevada, and Smooth Bourbon owns the real property on which the casino is located.

We purchased 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon for approximately $95.0 million at the First Closing on April 1, 2022. We used approximately $29.3 million of cash on hand and borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement in connection with the First Closing. We purchased 100% of the membership interests in Nugget for approximately $100.0 million (subject to certain adjustments) at the Second Closing on April 3, 2023. Following the Second Closing, we own the operating assets of Nugget Casino Resort and 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon. We also have 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.

Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Flintstone, Maryland

O n August 24, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with Lakes Maryland, Golden, and VICI PropCo, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the operations of Rocky Gap for approximately $56.1 million subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. 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 the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million, subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. In connection with the closing of this transaction, one of our subsidiaries and a subsidiary of VICI PropCo will enter into an amendment to the Master Lease to (i) add Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) provide for an initial annual rent for Rocky Gap of approximately $15.5 million, and (iii) extend the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five-year renewal options). On April 27, 2023, we were approved for a gaming license by the Maryland State Lottery & Gaming Control Agency. Additional regulatory approvals are required prior to the Rocky Gap Acquisition closing, which is expected to occur in the summer of 2023.

Recent Developments Related to Century Casino Caruthersville

On October 26, 2022, the MGC approved the relocation of the casino at Century Casino Caruthersville from the riverboat and the barge to a land-based pavilion until the new land-based casino and hotel discussed below are completed. On October 13, 2022, the riverboat, which had operated since 1994, had to be closed as it was no longer accessible from the barge because of record low water levels in the Mississippi River. Prior to its closure, the riverboat casino had 519 slot machines and seven table games. From October 2022 to December 2022, Caruthersville operated the casino from the barge with 299 slot machines and four table games. The move to the pavilion, which has 424 slot machines and six table games, was completed in late December 2022. The pavilion building will not be affected by water levels and is protected by a flood wall. The pavilion provides for easier access to the casino for customers, and we anticipate it will bring operating efficiencies and cost savings. We have not experienced a negative impact on results following the move to the pavilion and have had a positive reaction from customers. The riverboat and barge were removed on February 25, 2023.

Caruthersville Land-Based Casino

We are building a new land-based casino with a small hotel. We estimate the project will cost $51.9 million. Construction started in December 2022 with completion expected in the second half of 2024. We plan to finance the cost of this project with financing provided by VICI PropCo. To finance the Caruthersville project, we entered into an amendment to the Master Lease with VICI PropCo. Following completion, VICI PropCo will own the real estate improvements associated with the Caruthersville project. As of March 31, 2023, we have received $10.9 million from VICI PropCo and have spent $5.4 million of those funds on this project.

Caruthersville Hotel

In July 2021, we announced that we had purchased land and a small two-story hotel near Century Casino Caruthersville with plans to refurbish the existing hotel’s 36 rooms. The completely renovated hotel called The Farmstead opened on October 30, 2022 with a grand opening held in December 2022. The total cost of the project was $3.6 million.

Cape Girardeau Hotel

We are building a hotel at our Cape Girardeau location. The hotel is planned as a six-story building with 68,000 square feet that will be adjacent to and connected with the existing casino building. Construction on this project began in September 2022 and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. We estimate the project will cost $30.5 million, and we plan to finance this cost with cash on hand. As of March 31, 2023, we have spent $7.1 million on this project.

Additional Gaming Projects

We currently are exploring 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.

Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts

The average exchange rates to the US dollar used to translate balances during each reported period are as follows:

|  | For the three months |  |
|  | ended March 31, |  |
Average Rates |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change
Canadian dollar (CAD) |  | 1.3523 |  | 1.2669 |  | (6.7%)
Euros (EUR) |  | 0.9324 |  | 0.8909 |  | (4.7%)
Polish zloty (PLN) |  | 4.3913 |  | 4.1182 |  | (6.6%)
Source: Xe Currency Converter

We recognize in our condensed consolidated statements of (loss) earnings 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.

Items impacting comparability of the results include the following:

Calgary – In February 2022, we sold the land and building that we owned in Calgary for CAD 8.0 million ($6.3 million based on the exchange rate on February 10, 2022). We recorded a loss on the sale of the land and building of CAD 2.7 million ($2.2 million based on the average exchange rate for the month ended February 28, 2022). In March 2023, we received an earn out payment of CAD 0.8 million ($0.6 million based on the exchange rate on March 31, 2023) related to our 2020 sale of the Calgary casino operations.

COVID-19 (Canada) – Through early February 2022 we required customers to provide proof of vaccination, a negative rapid test result or an original medical exemption letter for entry to comply with a government mandate. In accordance with a government mandate, all customers and employees were required to wear masks while indoors through early March 2022.

Inflation – We have seen operating expenses, such as utilities, maintenance costs and food and beverage costs, increase at our properties but the increases have not been material to date.

Staffing – We have experienced difficulties attracting and retaining staff at some locations in the US and Canada. As a result, we have had to adjust 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 have been able to make adjustments during non-peak times and have not seen a material impact to our operating results.

Pari-Mutuel

Pari-mutuel revenue includes live racing, export, advanced deposit wagering and off-track betting. Pari-mutuel expense relates to the revenue above and the operation of our racetracks.

Net earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily because interest expense increased by $6.8 million as a result of an additional $176.9 million in principal debt as of March 31, 2023 under the Goldman Credit Agreement compared to the principal debt as of March 31, 2022 under the Macquarie Credit Agreement. This included approximately $2.6 million of additional interest expense from interest on the $100.0 million in escrow to fund the OpCo Acquisition without the benefit of net income from the Nugget Casino.

For a discussion of the factors that impacted each reportable segment, please see “Reportable Segments” below.

Non-US GAAP Measures – Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interest 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. 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 EBITDA 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 our 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of performance recognized under US GAAP.

33

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 evaluate and forecast the operating performance of the Company and its properties as well as to compare results of current periods to prior periods. Management believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA 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. Management believes that using Adjusted EBITDA is a useful way to compare the relative operating performance of separate reportable segments 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. Our 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.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders is presented below.

Sports wagering in Colorado became legal in May 2020. We have partnered with sports betting operators that will conduct sports wagering under each of the three Colorado master licenses for sports wagering held by our Colorado subsidiaries. One of these mobile sports betting apps launched in July 2020, a second launched in August 2021, and the third sports betting app launched in September 2022. Each agreement with the sports betting operators provides for a share of net gaming revenue and a minimum revenue guarantee each year.

We operate an internet and mobile interactive gaming application in West Virginia with two iGaming partners. The agreements provide for a share of net iGaming revenue.

There are two potential competing casinos that may open in the Central City, Colorado market in 2024. An increase in competitors could have a negative impact on our results of operations in Central City.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

The following discussion highlights results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Colorado – Net operating revenue increased due to revenue from the third sports betting app that launched in September 2022. Operating expenses increased due to increased payroll costs, maintenance costs, supply costs and gaming-related expenses.

West Virginia – Net operating revenue increased from increased hotel revenue due to increased hotel occupancy and room rates. Operating expenses increased due to increased gaming-related expenses and insurance costs.

Missouri – Net operating revenue increased due to increased gaming revenue at Cape Girardeau and hotel revenue from The Farmstead, which opened in October 2022. We moved our Caruthersville casino from the riverboat and barge to a temporary land-based location in December 2022 due to record low water levels in the Mississippi River. The temporary casino location holds fewer machines than the riverboat; however, gaming revenue remained constant quarter over quarter. Operating expenses increased due to increased payroll and marketing costs and expenses related to disposing of assets after terminating operations from the riverboat and barge.

In February 2022, we sold the land and building we owned in Calgary, transferred the lease agreement for the casino premises to the buyer and ceased operating Century Sports, which impacts comparability of the Calgary operating segment in 2022. In March 2023, we received an earn out payment of CAD 0.8 million ($0.6 million based on the exchange rate on March 31, 2023) related to the 2020 sale of our Calgary casino operations.

The AGLC approved the relocation of a competing casino to a new site approximately eight miles south of Century Downs that opened in late November 2022. Competition from this casino has had a negative impact on financial results at this location. In addition, in January 2022, the AGLC removed the moratorium on gaming facilities. While we do not expect new gaming facilities in the markets in which we operate, an increase in competitors could have a negative impact on our results of operations in Alberta.

On February 28, 2023, the AGLC 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 is expected to have a positive impact on net operating revenue and results of operations at our Canadian properties.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

The following discussion highlights results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Explanations below are provided based on CAD results.

Through early February 2022 we required customers to provide proof of vaccination, a negative rapid test result or an original medical exemption letter for entry to comply with a government mandate. In accordance with a government mandate, all customers and employees were required to wear masks while indoors through early March 2022.

Edmonton – Revenue increased at all of our Edmonton locations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the COVID-19 restrictions lifting. We continue to see a positive impact in the number of customers coming to our casinos and in operating results. Operating costs and expenses increased due to increased payroll and marketing costs and cost of goods sold.

Calgary – Gaming revenue decreased at Century Downs by (CAD 0.2 million), or (5.3%), ($0.4 million, or 11.3%), due to a competitor opening close to the casino in November 2022. The sale of the land and building ceasing operations at Century Sports contributed to a decrease in net operating revenue of (CAD 0.3 million) ($0.3 million) and decreased operating costs and expenses of (CAD 0.3 million) ($0.2 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In Poland, casino gaming licenses are granted for a term of six years. These licenses are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires, there is a public notification of the available license and any gaming company can apply for a new license for that city. CPL was awarded a casino gaming license in the Warsaw market which it is currently using at the casino in the Warsaw Marriott. In September 2022, CPL transferred the casino license for the Warsaw Marriott Hotel expiring in July 2024 to the Warsaw Hilton Hotel, and CPL was granted a new license for the Warsaw Marriott Hotel expiring in September 2028. The next license expiration for a CPL casino occurs in October 2023 in Bielsko-Biala and Katowice and November 2023 in Wroclaw.

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

Interest expense

Interest expense is directly related to interest owed on our borrowings under our Goldman Credit Agreement, Macquarie Credit Agreement, our financing obligation with VICI PropCo, our CPL and CRM borrowings, our capital lease agreements and interest expense related to the CDR land lease. Interest expense increased as a result of an additional $176.9 million in principal debt as of March 31, 2023 under the Goldman Credit Agreement compared to the principal debt as of March 31, 2022 under the Macquarie Credit Agreement.

Gain on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other

CDR received cost recovery income of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to infrastructure built during the development of the Century Downs REC project. The distribution to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders through non-controlling interest is part of a credit agreement between CRM and CDR. Cost recovery income of $1.9 million was received by CDR for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Taxes

Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $1.6 million on pre-tax income of $4.7 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 34.9%, compared to income tax expense of $1.4 million on pre-tax income of $4.1 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 34.6% for the same period in 2022. 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 or other debt or equity financing activities.

Cash Flows – Summary

Our cash flows; cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash; and working capital consisted of the following:

|  | For the three months

Amounts in thousands |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 12,280 |  | $ | 11,545
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities |  |  | (10,791) |  |  | 1,082

(1)Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2023 includes $100.2 million related to the Acquisition Escrow.

(2)Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities and includes the $100.2 million related to the Acquisition Escrow.

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operations have historically been positive and sufficient to fund ordinary operations. 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.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of $0.9 million for slot machine purchases and $0.2 million in gaming-related purchases in West Virginia, $4.3 million for our hotel project in Cape Girardeau, $3.2 million for our casino project in Caruthersville, $0.2 million for our stand-alone hotel project in Caruthersville, $0.3 million for slot machine purchases and $0.4 million for surveillance equipment at our Missouri properties, $0.1 million for slot machine purchases, $0.2 million in gaming-related purchases and $0.1 million in camera upgrades at our Colorado properties, $3.1 million in slot machine purchases in Poland, $0.4 million related to adding sportsbooks at our Canada properties and $0.3 million in other fixed asset additions at our properties, offset by $0.6 million in proceeds from the earn out related to the sale of casino operations in Calgary in 2020 and $2.3 million in dividends from Smooth Bourbon.

41

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted of $6.3 million in proceeds from the sale of the land and building in Calgary, offset by $1.5 million for slot machine purchases and $0.2 million in gaming-related purchases in West Virginia, $0.2 million for our hotel project in Cape Girardeau, $0.5 million for our casino project in Caruthersville, $0.6 million for our stand-alone hotel project in Caruthersville, $0.5 million for slot machine purchases at our Missouri properties, and $1.7 million in other fixed asset additions at our properties.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of $4.5 million in proceeds from borrowings net of principal payments, offset by $1.3 million to repurchase shares to satisfy tax withholding related to our performance stock unit awards and $3.5 million in distributions to non-controlling interests in CDR.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted of $1.0 million in principal payments on borrowings, $0.4 million to repurchase shares to satisfy tax withholding related to our performance stock unit awards and a $2.0 million distribution to non-controlling interests in CDR.

Borrowings and Repayments of Long-Term Debt and Lease Agreements

As of March 31, 2023, our total debt under bank borrowings and other agreements net of $16.2 million related to deferred financing costs was $349.0 million, of which $343.8 million was long-term debt and $5.2 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 Loans. On April 1, 2022, we entered into the Goldman Credit Agreement which provides for a $350.0 million term loan and a $30.0 million revolving line of credit. We drew the $350.0 million under the Goldman Term Loan on April 1, 2022 and used the proceeds as well as approximately $29.3 million of cash on hand to fund the Smooth Bourbon Acquisition, repay the $166.2 million outstanding on the Macquarie Credit Agreement, fund $100.0 million of Acquisition Escrow for the Nugget Acquisition and for related fees and expenses. 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 $262.5 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to $71.1 million as of March 31, 2022. The increase in Net Debt was primarily due to a $176.9 million increase in long-term debt related to the Goldman Credit Agreement. For the definition and reconciliation of Net Debt to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure, see “Non-US GAAP Measures – Net Debt” above.

The following table lists the amount of remaining 2023 maturities of our debt:

Amounts in thousands |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Goldman Credit Agreement (1) |  | UniCredit Term Loans |  | Century Downs ‎Land Lease |  | Total
$ | 2,625 |  | $ | 1,359 |  | $ | — |  | $ | 3,984

(1)The Term Loan under the Goldman Credit Agreement requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000, equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity.

Based on our current interest and Term Loan payment requirements under the Goldman Credit Agreement, we expect our cash payments under the Goldman Credit Agreement due for the remainder of 2023 will be approximately $31.0 million.

The following table lists the amount of remaining 2023 payments due under our operating and finance lease agreements:

Amounts in thousands |  |  |
Operating Leases |  | Finance Leases
$ | 3,948 |  | $ | 137

Cash payments due under the Master Lease for the remainder of 2023 are $18.3 million, which includes a CPI increase and excludes the increased rent due to the Rocky Gap acquisition discussed below.

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 March 31, 2023. We did not repurchase any common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date.

Potential Sources of Liquidity and Short-Term Liquidity

Historically, our primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been cash flow from operations. As of March 31, 2023, we had $102.7 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $101.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, we also had $100.2 million of restricted cash in the Acquisition Escrow to fund the purchase price for the OpCo Acquisition. The Acquisition Escrow was used to fund the OpCo Acquisition at the Second Closing on April 3, 2023. 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 March 31, 2023, we had $30.0 million available on our Revolving Facility. In addition, we have generated cash from sales of existing casino operations and proceeds from the issuance of equity securities upon the exercise of stock options.

Impact of COVID-19

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. We cannot predict the negative impacts that COVID-19 will have on our consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners, and, whether future closures will be required. While the severity and duration of such business impacts cannot currently be estimated, the effects of COVID-19, governmental health and safety requirements and any future closures are expected to have a material impact on our business. We will continue to monitor our liquidity and make reductions to marketing and operating expenditures, where possible, if future government mandates or closures are required that would have an adverse impact on us.

Planned Projects, the Nugget Acquisition, the Rocky Gap Acquisition and Sources of Liquidity

Planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2023 include approximately $27.4 million in gaming equipment and renovations to various properties, including the Nugget, and security system upgrades. We are constructing a new land-based casino with a small hotel adjacent to and connected with the existing pavilion building at Century Casino Caruthersville. Construction began in December 2022 with completion expected in late 2024. We estimate this project will cost $51.9 million. The project is being financed with financing provided by VICI PropCo. As of March 31, 2023, we have received $10.9 million from VICI PropCo and have spent approximately $5.4 million of those funds on this project. We estimate that we will spend approximately $34.6 million on this project in the remainder of 2023, which will be financed by VICI PropCo. We are also building a hotel at our Cape Girardeau location. Construction began in September 2022 and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. We estimate this project will cost approximately $30.5 million. W e plan to fund the project with cash on hand. As of March 31, 2023, we have spent approximately $7.1 million on this project. We estimate that we will spend approximately $22.5 million on this project in the remainder of 2023.

In February 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase (i) 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon, and (ii) 100% of the membership interests of Nugget. Nugget owns and operates the Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada, and Smooth Bourbon owns the real property on which the casino is located. At the First Closing, on April 1, 2022, we purchased 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon for approximately $95.0 million and Smooth Bourbon entered into a lease with Nugget for an annual rent of $15.0 million. We used approximately $29.3 million of cash on hand and borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement in connection with the First Closing. On April 3, 2023, we purchased 100% of the membership interests in Nugget for approximately $100.0 million (subject to certain adjustments) using the funds in Acquisition Escrow. We also have a five-year option to acquire the remaining 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon for $105.0 million plus 2% per annum.

On August 24, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with Lakes Maryland, Golden, and VICI PropCo, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the operations of Rocky Gap for approximately $56.1 million subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, by and between Evitts and an affiliate of VICI PropCo, VICI PropCo agreed to acquire the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million, subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. In connection with the closing of this transaction, one of our subsidiaries and a subsidiary of VICI PropCo will enter into an amendment the Master Lease to (i) add Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) provide for an initial annual rent for Rocky Gap of approximately $15.5 million, and (iii) extend the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five-year renewal options). We plan to fund the acquisition with cash on hand.

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 July 2020 under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and other securities. We intend to renew the shelf registration statement in 2023.

43

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.

In addition, we expect our US domestic cash resources will be sufficient to fund our US operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities. While we currently do not have an intent nor foresee a need to repatriate funds, we could require more capital in the US than is generated by our US operations for operations, capital expenditures or significant discretionary activities such as acquisitions of businesses and share repurchases. If so, we could elect to repatriate earnings from foreign jurisdictions in the form of a cash dividend, which would generally be exempt from taxation with the exception of the adverse impact of withholding taxes. We also could elect to raise capital in the US through debt or equity issuances. We estimate that approximately $39.3 million of our total $102.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023 is held by our foreign subsidiaries and is not available to fund US operations unless repatriated.

Item 3. Quan t itative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We had no material changes in our exposure to market risks from that previously reported in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Con tr ols and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, for the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officers and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting –There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTH ER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We may not be fully compensated to relocate the Nugget Casino and may be required to seek additional funding if the Nevada Department of Transportation (“NDOT”) project moves forward.

A majority of the casino floor at the Nugget Casino is located beneath Interstate 80 (“I-80”) in Sparks, Nevada. NDOT has discussed the possibility of expanding I-80, which would require us to rebuild the Nugget Casino on existing land owned by Smooth Bourbon and leased to Nugget. We anticipate that NDOT would compensate us to move the casino to a new location; however, the value that is determined by NDOT for purposes of compensating us may not cover the full construction costs. If we are unable to get fully compensated for building a new casino, we may be required to use cash on hand or seek financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In March 2000, our board of directors approved a discretionary program to repurchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In November 2009, our board of directors approved an increase of the amount available to be repurchased under the program to $15.0 million. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date and had approximately $14.7 million remaining as of March 31, 2023. There were no repurchases of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
