Boyd Gaming Reports First-Quarter 2023 Results

Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, said: “The first quarter was an excellent start to 2023 for our Company, as we again demonstrated the strength of our business model and the resilience of our diversified portfolio. We continued to see increased play from our core customers across the country, as well as strong growth in our non-gaming operations. Our Nevada segments delivered outstanding performances, as increased tourism in southern Nevada and growing play from core customers helped drive record first-quarter EBITDAR and operating margins in both our Las Vegas Locals and Downtown Las Vegas segments. Our growth initiatives also contributed to our record performance, as EBITDAR from our online operations more than doubled year-over-year, Sky River Casino continued to perform ahead of expectations, and recent property investments helped drive incremental revenue and EBITDAR growth. Our proven business model and experienced team are delivering strong results for our shareholders, giving us confidence in our continued ability to successfully navigate the current economic environment.”

Boyd Gaming reported first-quarter 2023 revenues of $964.0 million, up 12.0% from $860.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company reported net income of $199.7 million, or $1.93 per share, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $162.9 million, or $1.45 per share, for the year-ago period.

Total Adjusted EBITDAR(1) was $367.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, increasing 8.4% from $338.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted Earnings(1) for the first quarter of 2023 were $177.4 million, or $1.71 per share, compared to $157.5 million, or $1.40 per share, for the same period in 2022.

Operations Review

During the quarter, the Company changed its segments to separately report financial results from online and other activities. Online includes contributions from the Company’s sports-betting partnership with FanDuel, online market access agreements with other third parties, and Boyd Interactive, the Company’s online casino business. Managed & Other includes management fees from Sky River Casino and results from Lattner Entertainment, the Company’s Illinois distributed gaming business. Results from Online and Managed & Other were previously reported as part of the Midwest & South segment. Prior-year results were recast in a Form 8-K filed on April 11, 2023.

The Las Vegas Locals segment reported record first-quarter revenue, Adjusted EBITDAR and operating margins, benefitting from increased destination business, double-digit growth in non-gaming revenues, and continued strength in play from core customers. The Downtown Las Vegas segment also set first-quarter records for Adjusted EBITDAR and margins, driven by strong visitation throughout the downtown area, continued growth in play from core Hawaiian customers, and increased traffic at the Fremont following its recent expansion. In the Midwest & South segment, core customer play grew year-over-year; however, segment results were impacted by continued softness at the Company’s properties in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Online revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR more than doubled over prior year, reflecting gains from recently launched sports-betting operations in Ohio and Kansas, continued growth in existing markets, and contributions from Boyd Interactive. Managed & Other revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR were substantially higher than prior year due to management fees from Sky River Casino, which has performed ahead of expectations since opening in August 2022.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Program Update

Boyd Gaming paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on April 15, 2023, up from the quarterly dividend previously paid by the Company of $0.15 per share.

As part of its ongoing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased approximately $106 million in stock during the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $133 million remaining under current repurchase authorizations.

Balance Sheet Statistics

As of March 31, 2023, Boyd Gaming had cash on hand of $263.5 million, and total debt of $3.0 billion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our financial presentations include the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • EBITDA: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
  • Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA adjusted for deferred rent, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, other operating items, net, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt and other items, net,
  • EBITDAR: EBITDA further adjusted for rent expense associated with master leases with a real estate investment trust,
  • Adjusted EBITDAR: Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for rent expense associated with master leases with a real estate investment trust,
  • Adjusted Earnings: net income before project development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, other operating items, net, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt, adjustments to the expected losses for interest on note receivable and other non-recurring adjustments, net, and,
  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS): Adjusted Earnings divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Collectively, we refer to these and other non-GAAP financial measures as the “Non-GAAP Measures”.

The Non-GAAP Measures are commonly used measures of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), provide our investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results and facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors. We provide this information to investors to enable them to perform comparisons of our past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core on-going operations. We have historically reported these measures to our investors and believe that the continued inclusion of the Non-GAAP Measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. We also believe this information is useful to investors in allowing greater transparency related to significant measures used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making, their evaluation of total company and individual property performance, in the evaluation of incentive compensation and in the annual budget process. Management also uses Non-GAAP Measures in the evaluation of potential acquisitions and dispositions. We believe these measures continue to be used by investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of our company.

The use of Non-GAAP Measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. While excluded from certain of the 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, the 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, capital expenditures 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. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP Measures to the corresponding forward-looking GAAP measure due to our inability to project special charges and certain expenses.

The Non-GAAP Measures are to be used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. The 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. The 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.
