Century Casinos, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results
- Strength in the United States East and Midwest Regions, Offset by Weakness in the United States West Region and Poland.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 10, 2025 /CNW/ -- Century Casinos, Inc. (the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") (Nasdaq Capital Market®: CNTY) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Third Quarter 2025 Highlights*
Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024:
- Net operating revenue was $153.7 million, a decrease of 1%.
- Earnings from operations was $17.1 million, a decrease of 4%.
- Net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders was ($10.5) million, a change of (30%), and basic net loss per share was ($0.35).
- Adjusted EBITDAR** was $31.1 million, a decrease of 6%.
"We are pleased with the growth in the East and Midwest regions of the United States. At the Nugget in the West region, we continue to focus on increasing local play and enhancing our concert and conference line up to improve results. Poland suffered from one-time costs associated with closing the Hilton Hotel casino. Excluding Poland, third quarter Adjusted EBITDAR would have increased year over year. We look forward to opening the new Wroclaw casino early next year and for results to improve in Poland with no licensing disruptions for the next three years," Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Century Casinos remarked.
UPDATES
Sports Betting – Missouri – In May 2025, the Company announced that it has partnered with BetMGM to operate an online and mobile sports betting application under the Company's license in Missouri. The agreement includes a percentage of net gaming revenue payable to the Company, with a guaranteed minimum, as well as retail sportsbook options to be exercised at the Company's discretion. Sports betting is expected to begin in Missouri on December 1, 2025.
Poland – The Company was awarded a second license for a casino in the city of Wroclaw in March 2025. The Company expects to open the casino in January 2026.
Rocky Gap Goodwill Impairment – The Company concluded that its previously issued audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained a material error related to the calculation of the carrying value of invested capital used in the valuation of the Rocky Gap reporting unit, which resulted in an impairment of goodwill for this reporting unit, and should be restated. The impairment negatively impacted earnings from operations in the United States and net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2024 but did not impact Adjusted EBITDAR**. The Company today filed a Form 8-K that describes the impairment and plans to file amendments to its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and its Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 to reflect the restatements within the next five calendar days.

Items deducted from or added to earnings (loss) from operations to arrive at net (loss) earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders include interest income, interest expense, gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and other, income tax (benefit) expense, and non-controlling interests. Interest expense, primarily from the master lease with subsidiaries of VICI Properties, Inc. (the "Master Lease"), negatively impacts net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders. Income tax expense decreased significantly for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to a valuation allowance on the Company's net deferred tax assets related to the United States resulting in $23.8 million of tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

* We define Adjusted EBITDAR as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income) (including interest expense related to the Master Lease), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interests net earnings (losses) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, termination expenses related to closing a casino, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, loss (gain) on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other, gain on business combination and certain other one-time transactions. The Master Lease is accounted for as a financing obligation. As such, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease is recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment impacting the financing obligation using the effective interest method. Intercompany transactions consisting primarily of management and royalty fees and interest, along with their related tax effects, are excluded from the presentation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders and Adjusted EBITDAR reported for each segment. Not all of the aforementioned items occur in each reporting period, but have been included in the definition based on historical activity. These adjustments have no effect on the consolidated results as reported under US GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric and is not considered a measure of performance recognized under US GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases such as our Master Lease since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. This metric is included as supplemental disclosure because (i) we believe Adjusted EBITDAR is used by gaming operator analysts and investors to determine the equity value of gaming operators and (ii) financial analysts refer to Adjusted EBITDAR when valuing our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDAR is useful for equity valuation purposes because (i) its calculation isolates the effects of financing real estate, and (ii) using a multiple of Adjusted EBITDAR to calculate enterprise value allows for an adjustment to the balance sheet to recognize estimated liabilities arising from operating leases related to real estate.
CENTURY CASINOS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure, as indicators of our performance. In addition, consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR also should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders, because it excludes the rent expense associated with our Master Lease and several other items. 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-US GAAP financial measures of other companies.
** We define net earnings (loss) margin as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders divided by net operating revenue.
*** We define Adjusted EBITDAR margin as Adjusted EBITDAR divided by net operating revenue. Adjusted EBITDAR margins are a non-US GAAP measure. Management uses these margins as one of several measures to evaluate the efficiency of our casino operations.
