Caesars Entertainment, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 ResultsJuly 29, 2025 at 16:01 PM EDT
Caesars Entertainment, Inc., (NASDAQ: CZR) (“Caesars,” “CZR,” “CEI” or “the Company”) today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights:
Tom Reeg, Chief Executive Officer of Caesars Entertainment, Inc., commented, “Our Caesars Digital segment posted one of its strongest quarters ever, as momentum continues to build toward the financial goals that we originally laid out in 2021. In Las Vegas, we posted solid gaming results in the face of softer market demand in our hospitality verticals. Net Revenues in our Regional segment increased 4% driven primarily by Caesars Virginia and New Orleans, coupled with strategic reinvestment into our Caesars Rewards database.” Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Summary and Segment Information The following tables present actual 2025 and 2024 results as well as adjustments to net revenues, net income (loss) attributable to Caesars and Adjusted EBITDA for the effects of our completed divestiture in order to reflect amounts and percentage change on a same-store basis:
Balance Sheet and Liquidity As of June 30, 2025, Caesars had $12.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding. Total cash and cash equivalents were $982 million, excluding restricted cash of $104 million.
As of June 30, 2025, cash on hand and borrowing capacity was as follows:
“On July 8th we applied proceeds from the monetization of $225 million of our WSOP seller note and a revolver draw to fully redeem $546 million of our 8.125% senior unsecured notes due 2027. This note redemption reduces run-rate interest expense by $44 million annually. Our nearest debt maturity is now January 2028 and our weighted average cost of debt is approximately 6.35%. We expect to use free cash flow to both reduce debt and opportunistically repurchase our stock,” said Bret Yunker, Chief Financial Officer. Non-GAAP Measures Adjusted EBITDA (described below), a non-GAAP financial measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry and we believe that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding our ongoing operating results. Management has historically used Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a full understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income and interest expense, net of interest capitalized, (benefit) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment charges, other (income) loss, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, transaction costs associated with our acquisitions, developments and divestitures, and non-cash changes in equity method investments. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the expense associated with certain of our leases as these transactions were accounted for as financing obligations and the associated expense is included in interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, debt principal repayments, distributions to our noncontrolling interest owners and payments under our leases with affiliates of VICI and GLPI, which can be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Caesars is attached at the end of this press release. Net debt (defined above), a non-GAAP measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is helpful in understanding our financial condition. The reconciliation of net debt to total outstanding indebtedness is set forth above. Other companies that provide similar non-GAAP measures may calculate them differently than we do, and the definitions may not be the same as the definitions we used in any of our debt agreements.
