BOYD GAMING REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

By PR Newswire | October 23, 2025, 4:05 PM

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, said: "During the third quarter, our Company continued to achieve revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR growth after adjusting for our recent FanDuel transaction. These results were driven by year-over-year growth in play from our core customers, improving trends in play from our retail customers, our efficient operations, and our ongoing capital investment program. As a result, we saw healthy growth in gaming revenues across all three property operating segments during the quarter. At the same time, we continued our balanced approach to capital allocation, returning $175 million to shareholders during the quarter while maintaining the strongest balance sheet in our Company's history. In all, we are encouraged by the strength of our business and remain well-positioned to continue creating long-term value for our shareholders."

Boyd Gaming reported third-quarter 2025 revenues of $1.0 billion, compared to $961.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. The Company reported net income of $1.4 billion, or $17.81 per share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $131.1 million, or $1.43 per share, for the year-ago period. The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2025 was impacted by a $1.4 billion after tax gain from the sale of the Company's equity interest in FanDuel, and $65.1 million in non-cash, pretax long-lived asset impairment charges. Adjusted Earnings(1) for the third quarter of 2025 were $139.1 million, or $1.72 per share, compared to $139.3 million, or $1.52 per share, for the same period in 2024. Total Adjusted EBITDAR(1) was $321.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, versus $336.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. Results for the third quarter of 2025 reflect lower market-access fees as a result of the FanDuel transaction.

(1) See footnotes at the end of the release for additional information relative to non-GAAP financial measures.

Operations Review

Las Vegas Locals segment results reflect growth in gaming revenues driven by continued growth in play from core customers and improving retail play trends, offset by declines in destination business. Downtown Las Vegas experienced growth in gaming revenues from our Hawaiian market segments, lower destination business and reduced pedestrian traffic in the downtown area. The Midwest & South segment delivered its best third-quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR performance in three years, as strong play from our core customers and improving play from retail customers drove broad-based revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR growth across the segment.

Results in the Online segment reflect growth from the Company's online casino gaming business and impacts of the recent FanDuel transaction.  Growth in Managed & Other was driven by the continued strong performance of Sky River Casino in northern California.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Update

Boyd Gaming paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share on October 15, 2025, as previously announced.

As part of its ongoing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased $160 million in shares of its common stock during the third quarter of 2025. The Company had approximately $547 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization as of September 30, 2025.

Balance Sheet Statistics

As of September 30, 2025, Boyd Gaming had cash on hand of $319.1 million, and total debt of $1.9 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, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and other items, net, as applicable,
  • 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, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, and other non-recurring adjustments, net, as applicable, 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.
