Boyd Gaming Reports Third-Quarter 2022 Results

Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, said: “This quarter was another solid performance by our Company, as we achieved third-quarter EBITDAR that was second only to last year’s record quarterly performance. These results were driven by our continued focus on core customers and sustained efficiencies throughout our business, as our operating model is successfully meeting today’s challenges and delivering consistent results. Our strong operating performance is producing robust free cash flow, allowing us to return nearly $500 million in capital to our shareholders so far this year. Overall, we are encouraged by the resiliency of our business, and remain confident in our strategy and our ability to deliver consistent results in the current economic environment.”

Boyd Gaming reported third-quarter 2022 revenues of $877.3 million, increasing from $843.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. The Company reported net income of $157.0 million, or $1.46 per share, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $138.2 million, or $1.21 per share, for the year-ago period.

Total Adjusted EBITDAR(1) was $337.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $340.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted Earnings(1) for the third quarter of 2022 were $159.2 million, or $1.48 per share, compared to $149.0 million, or $1.30 per share, for the same period in 2021.

Operations Review

In the Las Vegas Locals segment, revenue trends remained consistent with recent quarters as play from core customers continued to grow. EBITDAR for the segment remained well above pre-pandemic levels, rising nearly 75% over the third quarter of 2019 and trailing only last year’s record third quarter. Midwest & South segment results include management fees from Sky River Casino, which opened in August 2022, and contributions from the Company’s online sports-betting partnerships. Excluding these items, on a property-level basis the Midwest & South segment grew revenues slightly year-over-year while EBITDAR nearly matched last year’s record third-quarter results. When compared to the third quarter of 2019, property-level EBITDAR grew 37% in the Midwest & South segment. The Downtown Las Vegas segment delivered record third-quarter EBITDAR and margins, with EBITDAR increasing 49% over the third quarter of 2019. Segment results benefited from strong performance from the Company’s Hawaiian customers, as well as the reopening of Main Street Station in September 2021.

Additional Company Updates

Boyd Gaming opened Sky River Casino near Sacramento, California on August 15, 2022. The Company has a seven-year management agreement to operate Sky River on behalf of the Wilton Rancheria Tribe. Management fees from Sky River are reported within the Company’s Midwest & South segment.

The Company continues to make progress toward completing its previously announced acquisition of Pala Interactive for cash consideration of $170 million, and anticipates it will close the acquisition in the next several weeks.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Program Update

Boyd Gaming paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on October 15, 2022, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2022.

As part of its recurring share repurchase program, the Company repurchased approximately $135 million in stock during the third quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $346 million remaining under current share repurchase authorizations.

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, 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.
