BOYD GAMING REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

LAS VEGAS – JULY 23, 2026 – Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.  

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, said: “Our second-quarter results demonstrated the benefits of our diversified business model, with strong performances from our Midwest & South operations, Online segment and Managed business.  Results for the quarter, on a comparable basis, reflect both revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR growth, with property operating margins of 40%, a level we have consistently delivered over the last several years. This performance was supported by strength in play from both our core and retail customers across the portfolio, as well as contributions from our recent capital investments. We also returned substantial capital to our shareholders, with more than $170 million in dividends and share repurchases during the second quarter. With our strong balance sheet, efficient operating model and robust free cash flow, our Company is well-positioned to continue creating long-term shareholder value.”

Boyd Gaming reported second-quarter 2026 revenues of $1.03 billion, in-line with the second quarter of 2025. The Company reported net income of $131.2 million, or $1.75 per share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $151.5 million, or $1.84 per share, for the year-ago period. Total Adjusted EBITDAR⁽¹⁾ was $350.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 versus $357.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted Earnings⁽¹⁾ for the second quarter of 2026 were $144.4 million, or $1.93 per share, compared to $154.2 million, or $1.87 per share, for the same period in 2025.

Operations Review

Our Midwest & South operations once again delivered revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR growth during the quarter, driven by increased play from our core and retail customers, as well as contributions from recent capital investments across the segment.  While results in the Las Vegas Locals segment were impacted by continued softness in destination business, primarily at the Orleans, and ongoing construction disruption at the Suncoast, the remainder of the segment grew revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR over the prior year, with property margins exceeding 50%. In our Downtown Las Vegas segment, play from both our core and Hawaiian customers was consistent with recent quarters; however, results continued to be impacted by ongoing softness in destination business throughout the downtown area.

Results in our Online segment reflected growth from the Company’s online casino gaming business, as well as contributions from third-party market access agreements consistent with the last several quarters. Strong revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR growth in our Managed business was driven by increased management fees from Sky River Casino following its recently completed expansion.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Update

Boyd Gaming paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on July 15, 2026, as previously announced.

As part of its ongoing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased $156 million in shares of its common stock during the second quarter of 2026. The Company had $551 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2026.

Balance Sheet Statistics

• EBITDA: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,

• Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA adjusted for deferred rent, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedowns expense, 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,

• 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.
