Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Full House Resorts reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $74.4 million, roughly flat with the prior year as growth at American Place and Rising Star offset the prior sale of Stockman’s Casino and a terminated sports wagering contract. Operating income rose sharply to $2.4 million, up from $0.7 million, reflecting lower expenses and stronger property-level performance.

The company still posted a net loss of $8.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, an improvement from a $9.8 million loss. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% to $13.2 million, driven by large percentage gains at American Place, Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s, Rising Star and Silver Slipper. Management highlighted progress on financing and pre-construction work for the permanent American Place casino, and noted stronger profitability trends in its Colorado operations.

Insights

Loss narrows as cash flow and property profitability improve, but leverage remains high.

Full House Resorts generated Q1 2026 revenue of $74.4 million, slightly below the prior year due to the Stockman’s sale and a lost sports wagering contract. Despite this, operating income increased to $2.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA rose 14.7% to $13.2 million, showing better efficiency across most casinos.

Net loss improved to $8.2 million, or $0.23 per share, but the balance sheet is still highly leveraged with $450.0 million of senior secured notes due 2028 and $30.0 million drawn on the revolver. Cash was $31.4 million at March 31 2026, giving some liquidity cushion.

Management emphasized development of the permanent American Place casino and expects to refinance existing bonds as part of that financing, with details once agreements become contractual. They also pointed to seasonal upside from Colorado operations in the summer and ongoing operational improvements at Chamonix, while acknowledging legislative and financing risks in Illinois and construction execution risks noted in the forward-looking statements.

Revenue $74.4M Consolidated revenue Q1 2026 vs $75.1M in Q1 2025
Operating income $2.4M Q1 2026, up 218.4% from $0.7M in Q1 2025

Diluted EPS ($0.23) Q1 2026 diluted loss per share vs ($0.27) in Q1 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $13.2M Q1 2026, up 14.7% from $11.5M in Q1 2025
Cash balance $31.4M Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026
Senior secured notes $450.0M Outstanding, due 2028 and currently callable at par
Revolving credit facility $30.0M Outstanding balance; maturity extended to August 15, 2027
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA(a) rose to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2026"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA financial
"Adjusted Segment EBITDA (1) and Adjusted EBITDA"
Adjusted segment EBITDA measures a particular part of a business’s operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, but with one-time, non-cash or corporate allocations removed so the number reflects recurring performance of that segment. Investors use it like checking a car’s fuel efficiency after ignoring occasional detours — it helps compare profitability and cash-generation potential across units and periods without noise from irregular or accounting-driven items.
non-GAAP Financial Measures financial
"Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Our presentation of non-GAAP Measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
senior secured notes financial
"our debt consisted primarily of $450.0 million in outstanding senior secured notes due 2028"
Senior secured notes are loans a company sells to investors that are backed by specific assets and given first priority for repayment if the company defaults. Because they have a claim on collateral and are paid before other debts, they usually offer lower risk and correspondingly lower interest than unsecured debt; investors use them to judge how safe repayment and recovery of principal might be, like holding a mortgage instead of an unsecured credit card balance.
revolving credit facility financial
"and $30.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility"
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains statements by us and our officers that are “forward-looking statements”"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Revenue $74.4M +0.9% excluding Stockman’s sale
Net loss $8.2M improved from $9.8M net loss in Q1 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $13.2M +14.7% year-over-year

FULL HOUSE RESORTS ANNOUNCES STRONG FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

- American Place Casino Revenues Increased 7.1%, Reflecting Continued Momentum in the First Quarter

- Colorado Operations Showed Continued Improvement,

with Profitability Significantly Improving in the First Quarter

- Consolidated Operating Income Rose 218.4% to $2.4 Million in the First Quarter of 2026;

Net Loss Improved to $(8.2) Million from $(9.8) Million

- Adjusted EBITDA Increased 14.7% to $13.2 Million in the First Quarter of 2026

Las Vegas – May 7, 2026 – Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

On a consolidated basis, revenues in the first quarter of 2026 were $74.4 million, reflecting growth at American Place Casino and Rising Star Casino Resort, offset by the sale of Stockman’s Casino in April 2025 and the termination of an agreement with one of our contracted sports wagering providers in 2025. In the prior-year period, revenues were $75.1 million. Excluding Stockman’s, revenues increased by 0.9%. Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $(8.2) million, or $(0.23) per diluted common share, which includes $0.1 million of development costs. In the prior-year period, net loss was $(9.8) million, or $(0.27) per diluted common share, reflecting $0.1 million of project development costs and a $0.2 million impairment of certain assets at Stockman’s Casino. Adjusted EBITDA(a) rose to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, a 14.7% increase from $11.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting growth at most of our casino properties, including large percentage increases at American Place, Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s and Rising Star, as well as growth at Silver Slipper Casino Hotel.

“We had a great first quarter, led by continuing strength at American Place,” said Daniel R. Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts. “Our growth at American Place, located in Chicago’s northern suburbs, reflects its increasing awareness and popularity, as well as the continued expansion of our player database. Looking ahead, we remain excited about the construction and opening of our permanent American Place facility, to be located adjacent to the existing temporary casino. The permanent casino is designed to have more than twice the overall square footage, 39% more slot machines, 86% more table games, additional amenities, and significantly more lavish street appeal and décor than the temporary casino, which is in a sprung structure.

“The City of Waukegan recently approved our earthmoving plans. We are also preparing to enter into a pre-construction agreement with Power Construction and recently entered into a construction advisory agreement with W. A. Richardson Builders (“Richardson”). Power Construction is a large Chicago-based contractor and is currently building the Hollywood Casino and Hotel in Aurora, Illinois. Richardson is a large construction company based in Las Vegas and oversaw construction of both the Fontainebleau and Durango resort casinos. The principals in Richardson, before starting their construction company, had major roles at Mandalay Resort Group, where they were involved in the development and construction of several Las Vegas and regional casinos, including the Grand Victoria casino in Elgin, Illinois. The architect for the project is WATG, whose team has worked on numerous casinos, including The Venetian in Las Vegas and the Hard Rock in Rockford, Illinois.

“We have made significant progress in arranging the financing for the permanent American Place casino. We anticipate refinancing our existing bonds, which mature in February 2028, as part of that financing. We will announce the details of this planned financing when such arrangements become contractual, which we anticipate within the next few weeks.

“Construction of the permanent casino should require approximately 18 months to two years. Because this timeline would put its opening beyond the date permitted for operations of the temporary casino, there is a bill in the current Illinois legislative session that would extend such period. If the legislation is approved, it would ensure the continuation of significant tax and other benefits and a smooth transition from the temporary to the permanent facility. Bills such as this are often resolved late in the legislative session, which is scheduled to end on May 31.


“Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s significantly improved its profitability in the first quarter from the prior-year period. These improvements reflect a combination of ongoing operational enhancements and a continued focus on driving profitable growth. We hired an assistant general manager and a finance director during the quarter, both of whom have extensive experience with casinos and hotels of this quality and size. We also further enhanced the guest experience by installing new carpet and ceilings in much of the Bronco Billy’s casino and introduced Don Juan’s Cocina, our rebranded Mexican restaurant with an entirely new menu of fresh and innovative cuisine. We strongly believe that Colorado Springs remains a significantly underpenetrated gaming market. As awareness continues to grow, so should overall profitability at Chamonix. Note that this is a seasonal market; we expect significant positive contributions from our Colorado operations in the important summer season.”

First Quarter Highlights

Midwest & South. This segment includes Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel, Rising Star Casino Resort, and American Place Casino. Revenues for the segment were $59.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, a 3.8% increase from $57.2 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect continuing strength at American Place, where revenues rose 7.1% from the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $14.8 million, a 13.1% increase from $13.1 million in the prior-year period, with all three properties in the segment generating growth in the first quarter.
West. This segment includes Grand Lodge Casino, Stockman’s Casino (until the completion of its sale in April 2025), Chamonix Casino Hotel, and Bronco Billy’s Casino. Chamonix and Bronco Billy’s are two integrated and adjoining casinos, operating as a single entity. Revenues for the segment were $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, versus $15.6 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect the sale of Stockman’s and renovation-related disruptions at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort that houses our Grand Lodge Casino, which is a small casino relative to our total operations. Despite the renovation at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Adjusted Segment EBITDA improved 28.3% to $(1.8) million in the first quarter of 2026 from $(2.5) million in the prior-year period. This improvement in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was led by Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s, which improved its Adjusted Property EBITDA by 42.0% to $(1.3) million from $(2.3) million despite a slight decline in revenues. As our newest property, Chamonix is early in its expected ramp, with operations expected to continue improving in the coming quarters and years.
Contracted Sports Wagering. This segment consists of our on-site and online sports wagering “skins” (akin to websites) in Colorado, Indiana, and Illinois. Revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026. In the prior-year period, revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA benefited from an additional active sports skin. Such amounts in the first quarter of 2025 were $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, we had $31.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our debt consisted primarily of $450.0 million in outstanding senior secured notes due 2028, which are currently callable at par, and $30.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. In March 2026, we extended the maturity date for our revolving credit facility from January 1, 2027 to August 15, 2027.

Conference Call Information

We will host a conference call for investors today, May 7, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) to discuss our 2026 first quarter results.

(a) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our presentation of non-GAAP Measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. While excluded from certain non-GAAP Measures, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, our non-GAAP Measures do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes, and other items both in our reconciliations to the historical GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

Our non-GAAP Measures are to be used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP Measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP, nor should these measures be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP Measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding historical GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We utilize Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the measure of segment profitability in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset sales and disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each segment.

Adjusted Property EBITDA. Adjusted Property EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset sales and disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each property.

Adjusted EBITDA. We also utilize Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as Adjusted Segment EBITDA, net of corporate-related costs and expenses. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity. We utilize this metric or measure internally to focus management on year-over-year changes in core operating performance, which we consider our ordinary, ongoing and customary operations, and which we believe is useful information to investors. Accordingly, management excludes certain items when analyzing core operating performance, such as the items mentioned above, that management believes are not reflective of ordinary, ongoing and customary operations.
