Stock Dividend
Equity Method Investments

On January 18, 2019,1, 2023, the Board of DirectorsCompany and International Game Technology PLC (“IGT”) contributed certain tangible assets and leases to Rhode Island VLT Company, LLC (the “RI Joint Venture”) in exchange for equity interests of the RI Joint Venture. The Company approvedcontributed video lottery terminals (“VLTs”) and player tracking equipment to the joint venture for a common stock dividend,40% equity interest of the RI Joint Venture. The 40% ownership in the joint venture qualifies for equity method accounting. In addition to this joint venture, the Company also has other investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, which are accounted for as a stock split.using equity method accounting. The stock split was effected through a stock dividendCompany records its share of three shares for each share outstanding as of the approval date. The effect of this dividend has been retroactively applied to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2018 and resulted in an increase to the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2018 from 9,855,339 to 39,421,356. All share and per share information includednet income or loss within “Other non-operating income, net” in the condensed consolidated financial statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a gain on equity method investments of $0.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. An entity is a VIE if it has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impactany of the stock dividend.following characteristics (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support (ii) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The sharesprimary beneficiary of common stock authorized remainedthe VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary.

In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities and significance of the Company’s investment and other means of participation in the VIE’s expected profits/losses. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

Management has analyzed and concluded that Breckenridge Curacao B.V. (“Breckenridge”) is a VIE because it does not have sufficient equity investment at 100risk. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE because (a) although the Company does not control all decisions of Breckenridge, the Company has the power to direct the activities of Breckenridge that most significantly impact its economic performance through various contracts with the entity and (b) the nature of these agreements between Breckenridge and the Company provides the Company with the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits based on fees that are based upon off-market rates and commensurate to the level of services provided. The Company receives significant benefits in the form of fees that are not at market and commensurate to the level of services provided. As a result, the Company consolidates all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Breckenridge and its subsidiaries in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Breckenridge had total assets of $154.9 million and $161.3 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $85.5 million and $87.7 million, respectively. Breckenridge had revenues of $61.9 million and $84.0 million for the shares retainedthree months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company may change its original assessment of a par value per shareVIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of $0.01.contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

Deferred Payables

In order to execute on its strategy of improving working capital efficiency, the Company will, from time to time, participate in trade finance or deferred payable initiatives, including programs that may securitize or accelerate liquidity realized from receivables, or alternatively extend trade terms with certain suppliers or vendors. In certain cases, where the Company is not able to extend payment terms directly with suppliers or vendors, the Company will consider deferred payable solutions that simulate such trade term extensions. These solutions generally involve entering into exchange agreements with intermediary institutions who will make payment to the supplier or vendor within the original terms on behalf of the Company, in exchange for a new bill with terms that conforms to the Company’s payment policy of net 90 days.

These shares are classified as treasury stock, which is a reduction to shareholders’ equity. Treasury stock is included in authorized$3.1 million and issued shares but excluded from outstanding shares. The Company retired 1,431,980 shares of its common stock held in treasury during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The shares were returned to the status of authorized but unissued. The Company repurchased 16,340 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $0.4$6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is determined using the principles of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Fair value is described as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes and defines the inputs to valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: Observable quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs are observable for the asset or liability either directly or through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying value of the Company’s term loans and revolving credit facilities, including the current portion, approximate fair value as the terms and conditions of these loans are consistent with comparable market debt issuances. These measurements fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are categorized within levels of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement. There were no transfers made among the three levels in the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2024 and 2023, respectively. The total income tax benefit for share-based compensation arrangements was $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.


LeasesStrategic Partnership - Sinclair Broadcast Group
Effective January 1, 2019,
In 2020, the Company accountsand Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”) entered into a Framework Agreement (the “Framework Agreement”), which provides for its leases undera long-term strategic relationship between Sinclair and the Company. Under the Framework Agreement, the Company issued warrants and options and agreed to share tax benefits and received naming, integration and other rights, including access to Sinclair’s Tennis Channel, Stadium Sports Network and STIRR streaming service. Under a Commercial Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”) contemplated by the Framework Agreement, the Company paid annual fees to Diamond Sports Group (“Diamond”), a Sinclair subsidiary, for naming rights over Diamond’s regional sports networks (“RSNs”) and other consideration.

The Company accounted for this relationship as an asset acquisition in accordance with the “Acquisition of Assets Rather Than a Business” subsections of ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues, using a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as both a right of usecost accumulation model. The total intangible asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Discount rates used to determine(“Commercial rights intangible asset”) represents the present value of the lease payments are based on a credit-adjusted secured borrowing rate commensurate withnaming rights fees and other consideration, including the termfair value of the lease. Lease liabilities are increased by interestwarrants and reduced byoptions, and an estimate of the tax-sharing payments, each explained below. The Commercial rights intangible asset, net of accumulated amortization, was $218.2 million and $225.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Amortization was $7.8 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Refer to Note 9 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for further information.

The present value of the naming rights fees was recorded as part of intangible assets, with a corresponding liability, which will be accreted through interest expense. As of December 31, 2023, the total value of the liability was $57.7 million, with $8.0 million recorded within “Accrued and other current liabilities” related to the short-term portion of the liability, and $49.7 million related to the long-term portion of the liability reflected as “Commercial rights liability” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accretion expense reported in “Interest expense, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s obligation to pay Diamond for the naming rights terminated upon the bankruptcy court’s approval of certain settlement terms, which the court approved on March 1, 2024. Refer to Note 17 “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information.

Under the Framework Agreement, the Company issued to Sinclair (i) an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase up to 4,915,726 shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“the Penny Warrants”), (ii) a warrant to purchase up to a maximum of 3,279,337 additional shares of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share subject to the achievement of various performance metrics (the “Performance Warrants”), and (iii) an option to purchase up to 1,639,669 additional shares in four tranches with purchase prices ranging from $30.00 to $45.00 per share, exercisable over a seven-year period beginning on the fourth anniversary of the November 18, 2020 closing (the “Options”). The exercise and purchase prices and the rightnumber of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortizationshares issuable upon exercise of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liabilitywarrants and the amortizationoptions are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The Penny Warrants and Options are equity classified instruments under ASC 815. The fair value of the rightPenny Warrants approximates the fair value of use asset resultsthe underlying shares and was $150.4 million on November 18, 2020 at issuance, and was recorded to “Additional paid-in-capital” in front-loaded expense over the lease term.

4.    RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Standards to Be Implemented

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by, among other provisions, recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods, which for the Company was the first quarter of 2019) using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. In transition, entities may also elect a package of practical expedients that must be applied in its entirety to all leases commencing before the adoption date, unless the lease is modified, and permits entities to not reassess (a) the existence of a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, as of the adoption date, which effectively allows entities to carryforward accounting conclusions under previous U.S. GAAP. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides entities an optional transition method to apply the guidance under Topic 842 as of the adoption date, rather than as of the earliest period presented. The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method to apply the new guidance as of January 1, 2019, rather than as of the earliest period presented, and elected the entire package of practical expedients described above. Based on the analysis, on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right of use assets and a corresponding lease liability of approximately $18.8 million. There was no impact to opening retained earnings.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item. The ASU also provides new alternatives for applying hedge accounting to additional hedging strategies, measuring the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk, reducing the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting by easing the requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation and application of the critical terms match method and reducing the risk of a material error correction if a company applies the shortcut method inappropriately. This ASU is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which for the Company was the first quarter of 2019. The Company adopted the guidance in this ASU in the first quarter of 2019, with no impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016,October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this update align the requirements in the ASC to the SEC’s regulations. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is the date on Financial Instruments. This standard amends several aspectswhich the SEC’s removal of the measurementrelated disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently in the process of credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The standard replacesevaluating the existing incurred credit loss model with the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model and amends certain aspects of accounting for purchased financial assets with deterioration in credit quality since origination. Under CECL, the allowance for losses for financial assets that are measured at amortized cost reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of the financial assets, based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (a modified-retrospective approach). The impact of adoptionthis amendment on the Company’sits condensed consolidated financial statements will depend on, among other things, the economic environment and the type of financial assets held on the date of adoption.related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No 2018-14, Compensation –Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General. This amendment improves disclosures over defined benefit plans and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2020 with early adoption allowed. The Company anticipates adopting this amendment during the first quarter of 2021, and does not expect it to have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

This update will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted if adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this amendment on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

5.    REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company accounts forrecognizes revenue earned from contractsin accordance with customers under ASU No. 2014-09, ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)., which requires companies to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires more detailed disclosures to enable readers of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company generates revenue from fivefour principal sources: (1) gaming services,(which includes retail gaming, online gaming, sports betting and racing), (2) hotel, racing,(3) food and beverage and (4) retail, entertainment and other.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identify the contract, or contracts, with the customer;
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
Determine the transaction price;
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is measured at the transaction price or the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive through satisfaction of the identified performance obligations.

Retail gaming, online gaming and sports betting revenue, each as described below, contain two performance obligations. Retail gaming transactions have an obligation to honor the outcome of a wager and to pay out an amount equal to the stated odds, including the return of the initial wager, if the customer receives a winning hand. These elements of honoring the outcome of the hand of play and generating a payout are considered one performance obligation. Online gaming and sports betting represent a single performance obligation for the Company to operate contests or games and award prizes or payouts to users based on results of the arrangement. Revenue is recognized at the conclusion of each contest, wager or wagering game hand. Incentives can be used across online gaming products. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to certain customer incentives that create material future customer rights and are a separate performance obligation. In addition, in the event of a multi-stage contest, the Company will allocate transaction price ratably from contest start to the contest’s final stage. Racing revenue is earned through advance deposit wagering which consists of patrons wagering through an advance deposit account. Each wagering contract contains a single performance obligation.

The transaction price for a gaming wagering contract is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. The transaction price for racing operations, inclusive of live racing events conducted at the Company’s racing facilities, is the commission received from the pari-mutuel pool less contractual fees and obligations primarily consisting of purse funding requirements, simulcasting fees, tote fees and certain pari-mutuel taxes that are directly related to the racing operations. The transaction price for hotel, food, beverage, retail, entertainment and other is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. Hotel, food, beverage, retail, entertainment and other services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and revenue is recognized as the good or service is transferred at the point in time of the transaction.

Gaming revenues are recognized net of certain cash and free play incentives.

Gaming services contracts have two performance obligations for those customers earning incentives under the Company’s player loyalty programs and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the programs. The Company applies a practical expedient to account for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the impact on the consolidated financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from the application of an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with incentives earned under loyalty programs, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty program contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the incentive earned for a hotel room stay, food and beverage or other amenity. The performance obligation related to loyalty program incentives are deferred and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer. The amount associated with gaming wagers is recognized at the point the wager occurs, as it is settled immediately.

Gaming revenue also includes Bally’s Twin River Casino Hotel’sRiver’s and Tiverton Casino Hotel’sBally’s Tiverton’s share of table games revenue. Bally’s Twin River Casino Hotel and Bally’s Tiverton Casino Hoteleach were as of March 31, 2019, entitled to an 83.5% share of table games revenue.revenue generated as of March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company records revenue from its Rhode Island operations on a net basis which is the percentage share of VLT and table games revenue received as the Company acts as an agent in operating the gaming serviceservices on behalf of the State of Rhode Island.

Gaming revenue also includes Dover Downs’Bally’s Dover’s share of revenue as determined under the Delaware State Lottery Code from the date of its acquisition.

Progressive slot machines, which contain base jackpots that increase at a progressive rate based on the number of credits played, are charged to revenue as the amount of the progressive jackpots increase.
Gaming services contracts have two performance obligations for those customers earning incentives under the Company’s player loyalty programs and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the programs. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the condensed consolidated financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio to not differ materially from that which would result if applying the guidance to an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with incentives earned under loyalty programs, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty program contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the incentives earned for a hotel room stay, food and beverage or other amenities. The performance obligations for the incentives earned under the loyalty programs are deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the incentive. When redeemed, revenue is recognized in the department that provides the goods or service. After allocating revenue to other goods and services provided as part of casino wager contracts, the Company records the residual amount to gaming revenue as the stand-alone price for wagers is highly variable and no set established price exists for such wagers. The allocated revenue for gaming wagers is recognized when the wagers occur as all such wagers settle immediately.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedging Instruments

Net Investment Hedges

Cross Currency Swaps - The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in its European foreign entities. The Company uses fixed and fixed-cross-currency swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in the foreign exchange rate on its foreign investment in Europe and their exposure to changes in the EUR-GBP exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-EUR exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in USD for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. Cross-currency swaps involve the receipt of functional-currency-fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making foreign-currency-fixed-rate payments over the life of amounts outstandingthe agreement. These derivative arrangements qualify as net investment hedges under the New Credit FacilityASC 815, with the proceedsgain or loss resulting from changes in the spot value of certain casualty events, debt issuances,the derivative reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts are reclassified out of other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. Additionally, the accrual of foreign currency and asset salesUSD denominated coupons will be recognized in “Interest expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 11 “Fair Value Measurements and Note 16 “Stockholders’ Equity” for further information.

Cash Flow Hedges

Interest Rate Contracts - The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to applyhedge its exposure to variability in cash flows on a portion of its excessfloating-rate debt, to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and collars as part of its financial risk and liability management policy. The Company’s interest rate swaps and collars are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. The changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into “Interest expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period in which the hedged interest payments associated with the Company’s borrowings are recorded. Refer to repay amounts outstandingNote 11 “Fair Value Measurements” and Note 16 “Stockholders’ Equity” for further information.

Interest Rate Contracts and Cross Currency Swaps

The fair values of interest rate contracts and cross currency swap assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuation inputs are based on estimates using currency spot and forward rates and standard pricing models that consider the value of future cash flows as of the balance sheet date, discounted to a present value using discount factors that match both the time to maturity and currency of the underlying instruments. These standard pricing models utilize inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rate yield curves as well as currency spot and forward rates. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

Sinclair Performance Warrants

Sinclair Performance Warrants are accounted for as a derivative instrument classified as a liability within Level 3 of the hierarchy as the warrants are not traded in active markets and are subject to certain assumptions and estimates made by management related to the probability of meeting performance milestones. These assumptions and the probability of meeting performance targets may have a significant impact on the value of the warrant. The Performance Warrants are valued using an option pricing model, considering the Company’s estimated probabilities of achieving the performance milestones for each tranche. Inputs to this valuation approach include volatility between 40% and 67%, risk free rates between 3.84% and 4.79%, the Company’s common stock price for each period and expected terms between 1.5 and 6.3 years. The fair value is recorded within “Commercial rights liabilities” of the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration related to acquisitions is recorded at fair value as a liability on the acquisition date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date, based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The remeasurements are based primarily on the expected probability of achievement of the contingency targets which are subject to management’s estimates. These changes in fair value are recognized within “Other, non-operating expenses, net” of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the acquisitions of SportCaller and Monkey Knife Fight (“MKF”) in the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded contingent consideration of $58.7 million. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company, in satisfaction of contingencies related to the respective acquisition agreements, settled the remaining contingent consideration of $9.3 million, comprised of 386,926 immediately exercisable penny warrants, 103,656 shares of Bally’s Corporation common stock and a de minimis payment in cash.

In connection with the acquisition of Bally’s Golf Links on September 12, 2023, the Company recorded contingent consideration, which was valued at $56.7 million as of March 31, 2024. Refer to Note 6 “Business Combinations” for further information.

Target allocations for plan assets are 60% equities and 40% fixed income. Of the equity portion, approximately 50% will be targeted to be invested in passively managed securities using ETFs and the other approximately 50% will be targeted to be invested in actively managed investment vehicles. Diversification is addressed by investing in mutual funds and ETFs which hold large, mid and small capitalization U.S. stocks, international (non-U.S.) equity, REITS, and real estate assets (consisting of inflation-linked bonds, real estate and natural resources). A percentage of investments are readily marketable in order to be sold to fund benefit payment obligations as they become payable.
The asset allocation targets and the actual allocation of pension assets in the Dover Downs Pension Plan are as follows:
Asset Category Target Actual Allocation at March 31, 2019
Equity Securities 60% 69%
Debt Securities 40% 29%
Other % 2%

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

Litigation

Diamond commenced reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in March 2023. In July 2023, Diamond commenced litigation against Sinclair, Bally’s and others as part of its bankruptcy proceedings, challenging a series of transactions between Sinclair and Diamond. One of the 19 counts in the complaint includes Bally’s as a defendant, alleging that the Commercial Agreement with Sinclair involved fraudulent transfers and unlawful distributions. In the first quarter of 2024, Diamond agreed to settle these claims against all defendants, including Bally’s. Under the settlement terms, Diamond would receive payments from Sinclair and would reject the Commercial Agreement. Bally’s would continue to have naming rights on Diamond’s RSNs through the 2024 major league baseball season at no cost to either party (unless Diamond agrees with a new counterparty that will pay for such naming rights). Bally’s, in turn, would receive a release of all claims Diamond may have against it. Bally’s obligation to pay Diamond for the naming rights terminated upon the bankruptcy court’s approval of the settlement terms, which the court approved on March 1, 2024, and the Company derecognized the rights fees liability against the non-cash liability established at December 31, 2023. Bally’s has recorded a $202.6 million non-cash liability to reflect the effect of the termination of naming rights on its remaining commercial rights intangible asset originally recorded at the time that the arrangement was agreed, which is expected to occur in 2024.

The Company is a party to other various legal and administrative proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated future benefit payments under the Dover Downs Pension Plan are as follows:

Excess Plan

Dover Downs had historically maintained the Excess Plan, a non-qualified, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain employees that had been frozen since July 2011. This Excess Plan provided benefits that would otherwise be provided under the qualified Dover Downs Pension Plan but for maximum benefit and compensation limits applicable under federal tax law. The costlosses associated with these proceedings is not material to the Excess PlanCompany’s consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on results of operations. Although the Company maintains what it believes is determined usingadequate insurance coverage to mitigate the same actuarial methodsrisk of loss pertaining to covered matters, legal and assumptions as those usedadministrative proceedings can be costly, time-consuming and unpredictable.

Although no assurance can be given, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters, including costs to defend itself in such matters, will have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters.

Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) for which no future service is required as a condition to the delivery of the underlying common stock (collectively, basic shares). Diluted EPS includes the determinants of basic EPSearnings per share and, in addition, reflects the dilutive effect of the common stock deliverable for stock options, using the treasury stock method, and for RSUs, RSAs and PSUs for which future service is required as a condition to the delivery of the underlying common stock.

Important factors beyond those that apply to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or actual operating results. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to:
the risk that negative industry or economic trends and reductions in discretionary consumer spending as a result of competition, downturns in the economy or other changes could harm our business;
the risk that new gaming licenses or jurisdictions become available (or offer different gaming regulations or taxes) that results in increased competition to us;
the effect of the expansion of legalized gaming (including sports wagering) in the regions in which we operate;
the effects of intense competition that exists in the gaming industry;
the effects of the extensive governmental gaming regulation and taxation policies that we are subject to, as well as any changes in laws and regulations, including increased taxes, which could harm our business;
the risks of litigation that seeks to cause the repeal of certain gaming laws or regulations on which we rely to conduct our business, including a lawsuit filed in Rhode Island that seeks to overturn the decision to permit sports wagering within Rhode Island;
the risk that regulatory authorities may revoke, suspend, condition or limit our gaming or other licenses, impose substantial fines and take other adverse actions against any of our operations;
the risk that any breach of the terms of the regulatory agreement we have entered into related to the operation of our Rhode Island properties could harm our business;

the risk of failing to maintain the integrity of our information technology infrastructure, including cyber security hacking, causing the unintended distribution of our customer data to third parties and access by third parties to our customer data;


our estimated effective income tax rates, estimated tax benefits, and the merits of our tax positions; and
the potential of certain of our shareholders owning large interests in our capital stock to significantly influence our affairs.
This list of risks and uncertainties, however, is only a summary of some of the most important factorswhich are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations and assumptions include, without limitation:
unexpected costs, difficulties integrating and other events impacting our completed acquisitions and our ability to realize anticipated benefits;
risks associated with our rapid growth, including those anticipatedaffecting customer and employee retention, integration and controls;
risks associated with the impact of the digitalization of gaming on our casino operations, our expansion into sports betting and iGaming and the highly competitive and rapidly changing aspects of our businesses generally;
the very substantial regulatory restrictions applicable to us, including costs of compliance;
restrictions and limitations in forward-looking statementsagreements to which we are subject, including our debt; and is not intended to be exhaustive. You should carefully review the

Rhode Island DelawareRegulatory Agreement

We are party to an Amended and Biloxi. In addition, prior to its closing in August 2018, we operated an additional immaterial operating segment, Newport Grand. Twin River Casino Hotel, Newport Grand and Tiverton Casino Hotel have been aggregated to formRestated Regulatory Agreement (the “Regulatory Agreement”), with the Rhode Island reportable segment. Our DelawareDepartment of Business Regulation (“DBR”) and Biloxi segment includes only Dover Downsthe State Lottery Division of the Rhode Island Department of Revenue (“DoL”). The Regulatory Agreement contains financial and Hard Rock Biloxi, respectively. We report Mile High USA, an immaterial operating segment,other covenants that, among other things, (i) restrict the acquisition of stock and shared services provided byother financial interests in us, (ii) relate to the licensing and composition of members of our management subsidiary,and Board of Directors (the “Board”), (iii) prohibit certain competitive activities and related-party transactions and (iv) restrict our ability to declare or make restricted payments (including dividends), incur additional indebtedness or take certain other actions, if our leverage ratio exceeds 5.50 to 1.00 (in general being gross debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA, each as defined in the “Other” category.Regulatory Agreement).
Our properties have historically generated strong free cash flow driven by income growth and low maintenance capital expenditures. Our

The Regulatory Agreement also provides affirmative obligations, including setting a minimum number of employees that we must employ in Rhode Island and Delaware casinos do not bearproviding the DBR and DoL with periodic information updates about us. Among other things, the Regulatory Agreement prohibits us and our subsidiaries from owning, operating, managing or providing gaming specific goods and services to any properties in Rhode Island (other than Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton), Massachusetts, Connecticut or New Hampshire. A failure to comply with the Regulatory Agreement could subject us to injunctive or monetary relief, payments to the Rhode Island regulatory agencies and ultimately the revocation or suspension of our licenses to operate in Rhode Island.

In addition, our master contracts with Rhode Island extended through June 30, 2043, and allow for consolidation of promotional points between Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton, obligate Bally’s Twin River to build a 50,000 square foot expansion, obligate Bally’s to lease at least 20,000 square feet of commercial space in Providence, and commit us to invest $100 million in Rhode Island over the term, including an expansion and the addition of new amenities at Bally’s Twin River. As a licensed Technology Provider since July 1, 2021, Bally’s Twin River is entitled to an additional share of net terminal income on Video Lottery Terminals (“VLTs”) which they owned or leased. June 2021 legislation in Rhode Island also authorized a joint venture between Bally’s and IGT Global Solutions Corporation (“IGT”) to become a licensed technology provider and supply the State of Rhode Island with all VLTs at both Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton for a 20.5-year period starting January 1, 2023. The joint venture was organized as the Rhode Island VLT Company, LLC, with IGT owning 60% of the membership interests and Bally’s or its affiliates owning 40% of the membership interests (“RI Joint Venture”). On December 30, 2022, Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton purchased additional machines directly from IGT to effectively own 40% of the machines. On January 1, 2023, Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton contributed all of their machines to the RI Joint Venture in return for an aggregate 40% membership interest, and IGT contributed all of their machines at Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton to the RI Joint Venture in return for a 60% membership interest.

Macroeconomic and Other Factors

Our business is subject to risks caused by global economic challenges, including those caused by public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of global and regional conflicts, rising inflation, rising interest rates and supply-chain disruptions, that can cause economic uncertainty and volatility. These challenges can negatively impact discretionary consumer spending and could result in a reduction in visitors to our properties, including those that stay in our hotels, or discretionary spending by our customers on entertainment and leisure activities. In addition, inflation generally affects our business by increasing our cost of labor. In periods of sustained inflation, it may be difficult to effectively control such increases to our costs of slot machine acquisitions, replacementsand retain key personnel.

Key Performance Indicators

The key performance indicator used in managing our business is consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR which are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings, or maintenance, as this responsibility is borne byloss, for the state,Company, or where noted its reporting segments, before, in each case.
Financial Highlights

We reportedcase, interest expense, net revenueof interest income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and income from operations of $120.6 millionamortization, non-operating (income) expense, acquisition and $30.3 million, respectively,other transaction related costs, share-based compensation and certain other gains or losses as well as, when presented for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $104.8 million and $24.9 million, respectively, for the same period last year. The main factors affecting our results for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, were as follows:

The continued ramp of Tiverton Casino Hotel, which opened in September 2018, provided incremental top and bottom line contributions compared to Newport Grand which we operated in the first quarter 2018 prior to transferring the license to Tiverton.
The acquisition of Dover Downs on March 28, 2019 which contributed $1.5 million to net revenue.
Legal and financial advisory costs of $6.4 million recorded in the first quarter 2019reporting segments, an adjustment related to the merger with Dover Downs and costsallocation of becoming a public company.
Prior year results included a $5.9 million chargecorporate cost among segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the Company’s reportable segments, plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases with GLPI for the Newport Grand disposal loss.real estate assets used in the operation of the Bally’s casinos and the assumption of the lease for real estate and land underlying the operations of the Bally’s Lake Tahoe property.

We use consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR to analyze the performance of our business and they are used as determining factors for performance-based compensation for members of our management team. We use consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a more fulsome understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period performance. Also, we present consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR because they are used by some investors and creditors as indicators of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations, including our ability to service debt, and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR information is presented because management believes that they are commonly used measures of performance in the gaming industry and that they are considered by many to be key indicators of our operating results.

43


A $4.9 million decreaseConsolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as consolidated Adjusted EBITDA plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric used by analysts in share-based compensation expensesvaluing gaming companies subject to triple net leases since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. This metric is included as supplemental disclosure because (i) we believe Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is used by gaming operator analysts and investors to determine the equity value of gaming operators and (ii) financial analysts refer to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR when valuing our business. We believe Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as alternatives to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as indicators of our performance. In addition, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and segment 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 income, because it excludes the rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases with GLPI and the lease for real estate and land underlying the operations of the timing of performance awards and the settlement of the majority of liability classified awards in place in the prior year.Bally’s Lake Tahoe property.

This increase was primarily attributable to $6.4 million of costs incurred related to the merger of Dover Downs and costs of becoming a publicly traded company coupledconnection with an increase in our Rhode Island segment of $4.6 million which was driven by higher overhead costsrestructuring at our Tiverton Casino Hotel as compared to Newport Grand and higher facility-related expenses at Twin River Casino Hotel. Additionally, we incurred higher corporate operating costs of $1.9 million in the quarter primarily due to increased wages and professional fees associated with operating as a public company. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $4.9 million resulting from the timing of performance grants and the settlement of certain liability classified awardsTropicana Las Vegas property, which were being marked-to-market in the prior year that settled in late 2018.closed April 2, 2024.
Other operating costs and expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded other operating costs and expenses of $5.9 million directly attributable to a disposal loss related to the sale of Newport Grand. We did not incur other operating costs and expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Income
Loss from operations was $30.3$74.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 20192024 compared to $24.9 million in 2018. As a percentage of net revenue, income from operations increased from 23.7% to 25.1% as the prior year income from operations included the $5.9 million disposal for Newport Grand.
Other income (expense)
Total other expense, which is primarily comprised of interest expense of $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased $1.3 million from $5.7$376.7 million in the same period last year. The change year-over-year was driven by depreciation at our Tropicana Las Vegas property in the current year, as noted above, combined with the gain on sale-leaseback recorded during the first quarter of 2023 related to our Hard Rock Biloxi and Bally’s Tiverton properties.

Other Income (Expense)

Total other expense increased $7.9 million to $68.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 from $60.7 million in the same period last year. The increase in other expense was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense due primarily to higher interest rates year-over-year.of our borrowings year-over-year, partially offset by increased interest income recognized on our derivative instruments and increased foreign currency gains.

Provision for income taxesIncome Taxes

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $0.92024 was $31.4 million year-over-year.compared to $137.7 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 was 24.4%(22.0)% compared to 34.1%43.6% in the prior year. The 2024 year to date effective tax rate differed from the US federal statutory tax rate of 21%, creating a provision for income tax on the Company’s Loss before income taxes, largely due to an increase in the valuation allowance, coupled with a tax liability for foreign discrete items.

On December 15, 2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. The EU effective dates are January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. A significant number of other countries are also implementing similar legislation. The estimated impact of this directive is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the current year.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the Casinos & Resorts segment for the three months ended March 31, 20182024 decreased $15.7 million to 14.6%$89.4 million compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to winter weather impacts across multiple properties.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the International Interactive segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2024 increased $3.2 million to $83.5 million compared to the same prior year period, mainly due to stronger performance in the United Kingdom year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDAR loss for the North America Interactive segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $(10.2) million compared to an adjusted EBITDAR loss of $(10.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in adjusted EBITDAR losses are largely driven by stronger performance in iGaming and sportsbook in the current year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Except as described below, thereThere were no material changes in critical accounting policies and estimates during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Item 7.7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182023 for a complete list of our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Pension Plan

We sponsor a pension plan that covers certain employees who meet eligibility requirements. On June 15, 2011, it was announced that the Dover Downs Pension Plan, which we acquired during the first quarter of 2019, was frozen to participation and benefit accruals as of July 31, 2011. The benefits provided by our defined benefit pension plan are based on years of service and employee’s remuneration through July 31, 2011.

While we believe the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of plan assets are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The determination of our obligation and related expense for Company-sponsored pension benefits is dependent, in part, on management’s selection of certain actuarial assumptions used in calculating these amounts. These assumptions include, among other things, the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Refer to Note 9. “Benefit Plans” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to the actuarial assumptions used in determining pension liabilities and expenses.

We review and select the discount rate to be used in connection with our pension obligation annually. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the associated liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. We set our rate to reflect the yield of a portfolio of high quality, fixed-income debt instruments that would produce cash flows sufficient in timing and amount to settle projected future benefits.

Our assumption regarding expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the portfolio’s actual and target composition, current market conditions, forward-looking return and risk assumptions by asset class, and historical long-term investment performance. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, affect expense and obligations in future periods.

For 2019, each 25 basis point increase/decrease in the discount rate would increase/decrease pension expense by approximately $0.02 million and each 25 basis point increase/decrease in expected return on plan assets would increase/decrease pension expense by approximately $0.03 million. Although we believe our assumptions are appropriate, the actuarial assumptions may differ from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates and longer or shorter life spans of participants.

Amortization of net actuarial loss or gain expense recognition

We recognize the amortization of net actuarial loss or gain on the Dover Downs Pension Plan over the remaining life expectancy of all plan participants. This is based on the fact that the defined benefit pension plan is both closed to new entrants and all benefit accruals have been frozen.


Full yield curve expense recognition

We utilize the “full yield curve” approach for determining the interest and service cost components of net periodic benefit cost for defined benefit pension plans. Under this method, the discount rate assumption used in the interest and service cost components of net periodic benefit cost is built through applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation described above, to the relevant projected future cash flows of our pension plan. We believe the “full yield curve” approach reflects a greater correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding yield curve spot rates and provides a more precise measurement of interest and service costs.

Valuation of Assets and Liabilities Acquired in a Business Combination

We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of the acquisition at their respective estimated fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset, can materially impact the net income of the periods subsequent to the acquisition through depreciation and amortization, and in certain instances through impairment charges, if the asset becomes impaired in the future. In determining the estimated fair value for intangible assets, we typically utilize the income approach, which discounts the projected future net cash flow using an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risks associated with such projected future cash flow.

Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives. Intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are reassessed periodically based on the expected use of the asset by us, legal or contractual provisions that may affect the useful life or renewal or extension of the asset’s contractual life without substantial cost, and the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We are a holding company. Our ability to fund our obligations depends on existing cash on hand, cash flow from our subsidiaries and our ability to raise capital. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities. We assess liquidity in terms of the ability to generate cash or obtain financing in order to fund operating, investing and debt service requirements. Our primary ongoing cash requirements include the funding of operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments in line with our business strategy and debt repayment obligations and interest payments. Our strategy has been to maintain moderate leverage and substantial capital resources in order to take advantage of opportunities, to invest in our businesses and acquire properties at what we believe to be attractive valuations. As such, we have continued to invest in our land-based casino business and build on our interactive/iGaming gaming business. We believe that existing cash balances, operating cash flows and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, as explained below, will be sufficient to meet funding needs for operating, capital expenditure and debt service purposes.

We believe that our net cash flows from operating activities and funds available from our New Credit Facility (defined below) will be sufficient to provide for our working capital needs and capital spending requirements for the foreseeable future. In addition, with the Expanded Gaming Act that was signed into law in Massachusetts, we expect to face increased competition in the Rhode Island market.

Operating Leases

The Company is committed under various operating lease agreements for real estate and property used in operations. Minimum rent payable under operating leases was $2.28 billion as of March 31, 2024, of which $105.8 million is due within the current year. Refer to Note 15 “Leases” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

GLPI Leases

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s Bally’s Evansville, Bally’s Dover, Bally’s Quad Cities, Bally’s Black Hawk, Bally’s Tiverton and Hard Rock Biloxi properties were leased under the terms of a master lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) with GLPI. The Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years and includes four, five-year options to renew and requires combined minimum annual payments of $100.5 million, subject to a minimum 1% annual escalation or greater escalation dependent on CPI.

During 2023, the Company’s Bally’s Tiverton and Hard Rock Biloxi properties were added to the master lease on January 3, 2023, as a result of a transaction with GLP Capital, L.P., the operating partnership of GLPI, related to the land and real estate assets for a total consideration of $625.4 million. The transaction was structured as a tax-free capital contribution and a substantial portion of the proceeds were used to reduce the Company’s debt. These properties increased the minimum annual payments under the Master Lease by $48.5 million.

In addition to the properties under the Master Lease, the Company leases the non-land assets of Tropicana Las Vegas, which the Company acquired during the fourth quarter of 2022, from GLPI. This lease has an initial term of 50 years (with a maximum term of 99 years with renewal options) at annual rent of $10.5 million, subject to minimum 1% annual escalation or greater escalation dependent on CPI.

Financing Obligation

Bally’s Chicago Operating Company, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, leases the land on which Bally’s Chicago will be built.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2024, capital expenditures were $7.5$28.1 million consistingcompared to $43.7 million in the same period last year. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we continued our spending on our planned projects and maintenance at our casino properties, the most significant being our future Bally’s Chicago permanent facility.

Bally’s Twin River - In connection with our partnership with IGT, we have committed to invest $100 million in Bally’s Twin River over the term of our master contract, ending in 2043, with Rhode Island to expand the property and add additional amenities along with other capital improvements.

Centre County, PA - On December 31, 2020, we signed a framework agreement with entities affiliated with an established developer to design, develop, construct and manage a Category 4 licensed casino in Centre County, Pennsylvania. Subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, which remain pending, it will house up to 750 slot machines and 30 table games. The casino will also provide, subject to receipt of separate licenses and certificates, retail sports betting, online sports betting and online gaming. We estimate the total cost of the project, including construction, licensing and iGaming/sports betting operations, to be approximately $120 million. If completed, we will acquire a majority equity interest in the partnership, including 100% of the economic interests of all retail sports betting, online sports betting and iGaming activities associated with the Tiverton Casino Hotelproject.

Bally’s Chicago - On June 9, 2022, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, Bally’s Chicago Operating Company, LLC (the “Developer”), signed a host community agreement with the City of Chicago to develop a destination casino resort, to be named Bally’s Chicago, in downtown Chicago, Illinois that will include approximately 3,400 slot machines, 170 table games, 10 food and beverage venues, 500 hotel rooms, a 65,000 square foot entertainment and event center, 20,000 square feet of exhibition space, 3,300 parking spaces and an outdoor green space. The project also provides the new hotelCompany with the exclusive right to operate a temporary casino for up to three years while the permanent casino resort is constructed. The temporary casino commenced operations on September 9, 2023 at Twin River Casino Hotelthe Medinah Temple and maintenance capital expenditures. We anticipate that 2019 capitalincludes approximately 800 gaming positions and 3 food and beverage venues. The Company currently estimates the permanent casino construction to be completed by the end of 2026. In 2024, we estimate spending of approximately $100 to 200 million primarily dedicated to demolition and site preparation.

In connection with the entry into the host community agreement with the City of Chicago, the Company will be approximately $23required to pay annual fixed host community impact fees of $4.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the host community agreement, the Company provided the City of Chicago with a performance guaranty whereby the Company agreed to have and maintain available financial resources in an amount reasonably sufficient to allow the Developer to complete its obligations under the host community agreement. In addition, upon notice from the City of Chicago that the Developer has failed to perform various obligations under the host community agreement, the Company has indemnified the City of Chicago against any and all liability, claim or reasonable and documented expense the City of Chicago may suffer or incur by reason of any nonperformance of any of the Developer’s obligations.

In furtherance of these obligations, the host community agreement requires us to spend at least $1.34 billion on the design, construction and outfitting of our temporary casino and our permanent resort and casino. The decrease in expectedactual cost of the development may exceed this minimum capital expenditures from 2018 to 2019 is primarily driven byinvestment requirement. In addition, land acquisition costs and financing costs, among other types of costs, do not count towards satisfying such minimum expenditure.

Other Contractual Obligations

Sponsorship Commitments - The Company has entered into several sponsorship agreements with various professional sports leagues and teams, allowing the completionCompany use of Tiverton Casino Hotelofficial league marks for branding and the new hotel for Twin River Casino Hotel during 2018, partially offset by an increasepromotions, among other rights.

JOBS Act Transition Period
In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.
We will, however, rely on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions, as an emerging growth company, we will rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, (1) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (2) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will be considered an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our acquisition of Dover Downs, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.



ITEM 3.
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from variable rate long-term debt arrangements and foreign currency risk attributable to our operations outside of the US. Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor. Bally’s does not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

52


Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2024, interest on borrowings under our credit facility was subject to fluctuation based on changes in short-term interest rates. On March 31, 2024, we had $2.26 billion of variable rate debt outstanding under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities and $1.49 billion of unsecured senior notes. Based upon a sensitivity analysis of our debt levels on March 31, 2024, a hypothetical increase of 1% in the effective interest rate would cause an increase in interest expense of approximately $22.6 million over the next twelve months while a decrease of 1% in the effective interest rate, not to exceed the interest rate floor, would cause a decrease in interest expense of approximately $22.6 million over the same period.

We evaluate our exposure to market risk results primarily from fluctuationsby monitoring interest rates in the marketplace and we have utilized derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk. As part of the Company’s risk management and hedging program, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps and collars used to hedge and offset, respectively, the variable interest rates on our borrowings. Exceptthe credit facility as described in Note 7. “Long Term Debt” included10, “Derivative Instruments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there10-Q.

We have been nonot historically utilized derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We do not believe that fluctuations in interest rates had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates as a result of our net investments and operations in countries other material changesthan the US. A vast majority of our revenues are from the UK market and are conducted in British Pound Sterling (“GBP”) and are therefore susceptible to our exposure to market risks from those disclosedany movements in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kexchange rates between the GBP and US Dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains for the yearthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018.2024 were $2.8 million, while foreign currency transaction losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $4.3 million. Movements in currency exchange rates could impact the translation of assets and liabilities of these foreign operations which are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. We have utilized operational hedges or forward currency exchange rate contracts, as well as derivative financial instruments, such as cross currency swaps, to manage the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision andOur management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officerour chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer,chief financial officer (principal financial officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (asfor the reporting period ended March 31, 2024 as such terms is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) ofRule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act)Act. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as ofreport, the Evaluation Date, ourCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.not effective due to material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Ongoing Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weaknesses

The Company’s management is in the process of designing and implementing effective measures to improve our internal controls over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses. These remediation actions are ongoing and include:

Realigning resources and, where applicable, hiring qualified staff or using third-party subject matter experts with the appropriate level of experience and training to segregate key functions within our financial processes in order to support the review of significant and complex accounting matters, including appropriately analyzing, recording and disclosing accounting matters timely and accurately, specifically around assumptions used in certain estimates.
Educating control owners within our International Interactive reportable segment of the appropriate design elements of journal entry controls and enhancing our monitoring control to ensure that these control activities are performed and that journal entries have a separate preparer and independent reviewer.
Strengthening controls over account reconciliations and account analyses within our International Interactive reportable segment to support financial reporting requirements. Specifically, controls will address the timeliness of the review and the quality of information used in the review to ensure completeness and accuracy.
53


Implementing a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which we believe will enhance the flow of financial information, improve data management and control and provide timely information to our management team will enable us to remediate segregation of duties over journal entries. As the implementation of the new ERP system progresses, we may change our processes and procedures which, in turn, could result in further changes to our internal control over financial reporting. As such changes occur, we will evaluate quarterly whether such changes materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

While we believe our remediation efforts above will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we cannot assure that the measures will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses we have identified or will prevent potential future material weaknesses. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On March 28, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Dover Downs. See Note 4. “Acquisitions” included in Part I. Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the acquisition and related financial data. The Company is currently in the process of integrating Dover Downs’ internal controls over financial reporting. Except for the inclusion of Dover Downs, there
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 20192024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
