Century Casinos, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results
Rhea-AI Summary
Century Casinos (CNTY) reported its Q4 and full-year 2024 financial results, highlighting significant challenges. Q4 net operating revenue decreased 4% to $137.8 million, with a net loss of $64.9 million. The full-year 2024 showed mixed results with a 5% revenue increase to $575.9 million, but a substantial net loss of $128.2 million.
A major setback was the $43.7 million goodwill impairment at the Nugget Casino Resort due to market conditions and performance issues. The company's Adjusted EBITDAR declined 17% in Q4 and 10% for the full year. Cash position weakened to $98.8 million from $171.3 million year-over-year.
Despite challenges, management highlighted the successful opening of a new land-based casino and hotel in Caruthersville, Missouri on November 1, 2024. While noting weak trends from retail and low-end customers due to macroeconomic pressures, executives expressed optimism for improved EBITDAR and cash flow in 2025.

Century Casinos' Q4 and FY2024 results reveal severe financial deterioration that should concern investors. The company reported a Q4 net loss of
The
The company's liquidity position has weakened considerably, with cash reserves dropping from
Particularly troubling is management's admission of "weak trends from retail and low-end customers" due to macroeconomic pressures. This suggests Century's customer base is highly vulnerable to economic fluctuations, creating a fundamental business challenge beyond management control.
While the November opening of a Missouri casino and management's optimism about 2025 performance provide some positive signals, these factors appear insufficient to offset the substantial financial deterioration already documented.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
* We define Adjusted EBITDAR as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income) (including interest expense related to the Master Lease), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interests net earnings (losses) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, termination expenses related to closing a casino, 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. The Master Lease is accounted for as a financing obligation. As such, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease is recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment impacting the financing obligation using the effective interest method. 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 EBITDAR reported for each segment. 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 GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric and is not considered a measure of performance recognized under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases such as our Master Lease since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. This metric is included as supplemental disclosure because (i) we believe Adjusted EBITDAR is used by gaming operator analysts and investors to determine the equity value of gaming operators and (ii) financial analysts refer to Adjusted EBITDAR when valuing our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDAR is useful for equity valuation purposes because (i) its calculation isolates the effects of financing real estate, and (ii) using a multiple of Adjusted EBITDAR to calculate enterprise value allows for an adjustment to the balance sheet to recognize estimated liabilities arising from operating leases related to real estate.
Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as indicators of our performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAR as used by us may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in our industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders, because it excludes the rent expense associated with our Master Lease and several other items.
** The Company defines net earnings (loss) margin as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders divided by net operating revenue.
*** The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAR margin as Adjusted EBITDAR divided by net operating revenue. Adjusted EBITDAR margins are a non-US GAAP measure. Management uses these margins as one of several measures to evaluate the efficiency of the Company's casino operations.
