Boyd Gaming Reports Fourth-Quarter, Full-Year 2023 Results

Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, said: “The fourth quarter’s strong performance was a fitting conclusion to another record year for our Company. Our fourth-quarter and full-year results were driven by our diversified portfolio, consistent core customer trends and solid returns from our recent property investments. Our management teams continued to demonstrate their ability to efficiently manage the business, achieving property-level operating margins above 40% for both the fourth quarter and full year. And as part of our balanced approach to capital allocation, we returned more than $475 million to our shareholders in 2023 while investing in our properties and maintaining the strongest balance sheet in our Company’s history. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our ability to continue delivering profitable growth and creating long-term shareholder value.”

Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Results

Boyd Gaming reported fourth-quarter 2023 revenues of $954.4 million, increasing from $922.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company reported net income of $92.6 million, or $0.94 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $172.7 million, or $1.63 per share, for the year-ago period. The Company’s fourth-quarter 2023 results were impacted by $103.3 million in non-cash, pretax goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges.

Total Adjusted EBITDAR(1) was $355.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 versus $360.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted Earnings(1) for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $163.8 million, or $1.66 per share, compared to $181.8 million, or $1.72 per share, for the same period in 2022.

For the full year 2023, Boyd Gaming reported revenues of $3.7 billion, up from $3.6 billion for the full year 2022. The Company reported net income of $620.0 million, or $6.12 per share, compared to net income of $639.4 million, or $5.87 per share, for the full year 2022. The Company’s full-year 2023 and 2022 results were impacted by $107.8 million and $40.8 million, respectively, in non-cash, pretax goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges.

Total Adjusted EBITDAR for the full year 2023 was $1.4 billion, up slightly from the prior year. Full-year 2023 Adjusted Earnings were $639.9 million, or $6.31 per share, compared to Adjusted Earnings of $662.0 million, or $6.07 per share, for the full year 2022.

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

Operations Review

During the fourth quarter, year-over-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR performances in the Las Vegas Locals segment were consistent with each of the last two quarters. The Downtown Las Vegas segment delivered fourth-quarter revenue growth while Adjusted EBITDAR equaled last year’s record fourth quarter, with particularly strong results at the recently expanded Fremont. The Midwest & South segment returned to growth during the fourth quarter as both revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR increased over prior year.

The Company’s Online segment benefited from the introduction of sports-betting in Ohio in January 2023. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR growth in Managed & Other was driven by strong results at Sky River Casino.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Update

Boyd Gaming paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on January 15, 2024, as previously announced.

As part of its ongoing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased $100 million in shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $326 million remaining under current share repurchase authorizations.

Balance Sheet Statistics

As of December 31, 2023, Boyd Gaming had cash on hand of $304.3 million, and total debt of $2.9 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 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, the release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets 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.
