This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Form 10-Q have the same meanings as in the 2023 Annual Report.

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Organization
The Company is a geographically diversified gaming and hospitality company that was founded in 1973 by the Carano family with the opening of the Eldorado Hotel Casino in Reno, Nevada. Beginning in 2005, the Company grew through a series of acquisitions, including the acquisition of MTR Gaming Group, Inc. in 2014, Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. in 2017, Tropicana Entertainment, Inc. in 2018, Caesars Entertainment Corporation in 2020 and William Hill PLC in 2021. The Company’s ticker symbol on the NASDAQ Stock Market is “CZR.”
Description of Business
The Company owns, leases, brands or manages an aggregate of 53 domestic properties in 18 states with approximately 51,000 slot machines, video lottery terminals and e-tables, approximately 2,800 table games and approximately 44,900 hotel rooms as of June 30, 2024. In addition, the Company has other properties in North America that are authorized to use the brands and marks of Caesars Entertainment, Inc., as well as other non-gaming properties. The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated by its casino properties’ gaming operations, which includes retail and online sports betting and online gaming, and the Company utilizes its hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment, racing, retail shops and other services to attract customers to its properties.
The Company’s operations for retail and online sports betting, iGaming, horse racing and online poker are included under the Caesars Digital segment. The Company operates the Caesars Sportsbook app, the Caesars Racebook app and the recently launched Caesars Palace Online Casino app. The Company operates retail and online sports wagering in 32 jurisdictions in North America, 26 of which offer online sports betting, and operates iGaming in five jurisdictions in North America as of June 30, 2024. On June 18, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the operations of WynnBET’s Michigan iGaming business and long-term extension of iGaming market access rights with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The Company expects to continue to grow its operations in the Caesars Digital segment as new jurisdictions legalize retail and online sports betting and iGaming.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Financial Statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring, considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full year or any future period.
The presentation of financial information herein for the periods after our completed divestiture of Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino at the end of the third quarter of 2023 is not fully comparable to the periods prior to such divestiture.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities
Our Financial Statements include the accounts of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
Table of Contents

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
We consolidate all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we or one of our consolidated subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby (i) affiliates that are more than 50% owned are consolidated; (ii) investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method where we have determined that we have significant influence over the entities; and (iii) investments in affiliates of 20% or less are generally accounted for as investments in equity securities.
We consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the results of the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We review investments for VIE consideration if a reconsideration event occurs to determine if the investment qualifies, or continues to qualify, as a VIE. If we determine an investment qualifies, or no longer qualifies, as a VIE, there may be a material effect to our Financial Statements.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, on a recurring basis, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Levels of the hierarchy prioritize the inputs used to measure fair value and include:
•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds that can be redeemed immediately at the current net asset value per share. A money market fund is a mutual fund whose investments are primarily in short-term debt securities designed to maximize current income with liquidity and capital preservation, usually maintaining per share net asset value at a constant amount, such as one dollar. The carrying amounts approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments (Level 1). Cash and cash equivalents also include cash maintained for gaming operations.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash equivalents held in certificates of deposit accounts or money market type funds, that are not subject to remeasurement on a recurring basis, which are restricted under certain operating agreements or restricted for future capital expenditures in the normal course of business.
Marketable Securities 
Marketable securities consist primarily of trading securities held by the Company’s deferred compensation plans. The estimated fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined on an individual asset basis based upon quoted prices of identical assets available in active markets (Level 1) and represent the amounts the Company would expect to receive if the Company sold these marketable securities. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held $2 million in Level 1 securities.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may enter into derivative instruments to hedge the risk of fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates or pricing for other commodities. These agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not hold any cash flow hedges or any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements to Be Implemented in Future Periods
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. These updates apply to all entities subject to income taxes and will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Updates will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We do not expect the amendments in this update to have a material impact on our Financial Statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. This guidance is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect the amendments in this update to have a material impact on our Financial Statements.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements on a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB accounting standard codification with the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. This guidance is effective for the Company no later than June 30, 2027. We do not expect the amendments in this update to have a material impact on our Financial Statements.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease.
Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net
The Company evaluates for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. When indicators are noted, the Company then compares estimated future cash flows, discounted, to the carrying value of the asset. If the discounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is recorded. Impairment charges are presented on the statements of operations.
Based on the negative performance indicators at certain regional properties, the Company recognized impairment charges in our Regional segment. These impairments were due to a decrease in projected future cash flows at certain regional properties primarily due to localized competition within certain markets. The Company identified three reporting units with estimated fair values associated with trademarks, gaming rights and goodwill below their respective carrying values and recorded impairments.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized impairment charges in our Regional segment related to trademarks, gaming rights and goodwill totaling $118 million. During the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not realize an impairment.

Note 5. Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
General
We are party to various legal proceedings, which have arisen in the normal course of our business. Such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings will not materially impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. While we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate to mitigate the risks of such proceedings, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to our consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations.
Contractual Commitments
Capital Commitments
Caesars New Orleans
In April 2020, the Company and the State of Louisiana, by and through the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, entered into an Amended and Restated Casino Operating Contract. Additionally, the Company, New Orleans Building Corporation and the City entered into a Second Amended and Restated Lease Agreement. Based on these amendments related to Caesars New Orleans, formerly Harrah’s New Orleans, the Company was required to make a capital investment of at least $325 million on or around Caesars New Orleans. The capital investment involves the rebranding of the property to Caesars New Orleans which includes a renovation and full interior and exterior redesign, updated casino floor, new culinary experiences and a new 340-room hotel tower. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has met the capital investment requirements, and the project is expected to be completed in late 2024.
Sports Sponsorship/Partnership Obligations
The Company has agreements with certain professional sports leagues and teams, sporting event facilities and media companies for tickets, suites, advertising, marketing, promotional and sponsorship opportunities including communication with partner customer databases.

The Company recognizes expenses in the period services are received in accordance with the various agreements. In addition, assets or liabilities may be recorded related to the timing of payments as required by the respective agreement.

Terms of Outstanding Debt
CEI Term Loans and CEI Revolving Credit Facility
CEI is party to a credit agreement, dated as of July 20, 2020, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent, and certain banks and other financial institutions and lenders party thereto (the “CEI Credit Agreement”), which, as amended, provides for the CEI Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion (the “CEI Revolving Credit Facility”) and will mature on January 31, 2028, subject to a springing maturity in the event certain other long-term debt of Caesars is not extended or repaid. The CEI Revolving Credit Facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility of $388 million and contains reserves of $40 million which are available only for certain permitted uses.
On October 5, 2022, Caesars entered into an amendment to the CEI Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Company incurred a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (the “CEI Term Loan A”) as a new term loan under the credit agreement and made certain other amendments to the CEI Credit Agreement. The CEI Term Loan A will mature on January 31, 2028, subject to a springing maturity in the event certain other long-term debt of Caesars is not extended or repaid. The CEI Term Loan A requires scheduled quarterly payments in amounts equal to 1.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the CEI Term Loan A, with the balance payable at maturity.
Borrowings under the CEI Revolving Credit Facility and the CEI Term Loan A bear interest, paid at least quarterly, at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a forward-looking term rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) for the applicable interest period plus an adjustment of 0.10% per annum (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), subject to a floor of 0% or (b) a base rate (the “Base Rate”) determined by reference to the highest of (i) the rate of interest per annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is 2.25% per annum in the case of any Adjusted Term SOFR loan and 1.25% per annum in the case of any Base Rate loan, subject to three 0.25% step-downs based on the Company’s net total leverage ratio. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Company is required to pay each lender under the CEI Revolving Credit Facility a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments under the CEI Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of 0.35% per annum of the principal amount of the unused commitments of such lender, subject to three 0.05% step-downs based on the Company’s net total leverage ratio.
On February 6, 2023, Caesars entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 2 pursuant to which the Company incurred a new senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 billion (the “CEI Term Loan B”) as a new term loan under the CEI Credit Agreement. The CEI Term Loan B requires scheduled quarterly principal payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the CEI Term Loan B, with the balance payable at maturity. Borrowings under the CEI Term Loan B, as amended, bear interest, paid at least quarterly, at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.50% or (b) the Base Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is 2.75% per annum in the case of any Term SOFR loan and 1.75% per annum in the case of any Base Rate loan. The CEI Term Loan B was issued at a price of 99.0% of the principal amount and will mature on February 6, 2030. On June 28, 2024, the Company made a voluntary repayment of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of the CEI Term Loan B with cash on hand.
On February 6, 2024, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 3 pursuant to which the Company incurred a new senior secured incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $2.9 billion (the “CEI Term Loan B-1”) under the CEI Credit Agreement. The CEI Term Loan B-1 requires quarterly principal payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the CEI Term Loan B-1, with the balance payable at maturity. Borrowings under the CEI Term Loan B-1 bear interest, paid at least quarterly, at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.50% or (b) the Base Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is 2.75% per annum in the case of any Term SOFR loan and 1.75% per annum in the case of any Base Rate loan. The CEI Term Loan B-1 was issued at a price of 99.75% of the principal amount and will mature on February 6, 2031.
The net proceeds from the CEI Term Loan B-1 and the net proceeds from the issuance of the CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (as described below), together with borrowings under the CEI Revolving Credit Facility, were used to tender, redeem, repurchase, defease, and/or satisfy and discharge any and all of the principal amounts, including accrued and unpaid interest, related expenses and fees of both the 5.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “CRC Senior Secured Notes”) and the 6.25%

The Company generally has three types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) outstanding chip liability, which represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by customers, (2) Caesars Rewards player loyalty program obligations, which represent the deferred allocation of revenue relating to reward credits granted to Caesars Rewards members based on certain types of customer spend, including online and retail gaming, hotel, dining, retail shopping, and player loyalty program incentives earned, and (3) customer deposits and other deferred revenue, which primarily represents funds deposited by customers related to gaming play and advance payments received for goods and services yet to be provided (such as advance ticket sales, deposits on rooms and convention space, unpaid wagers, iGaming deposits, or future sports bets). These liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being purchased, earned, or deposited and are recorded within Accrued other liabilities on the Company’s Balance Sheets.

Lease Revenue
Lodging Arrangements
Lodging arrangements are considered short-term and generally consist of lease and nonlease components. The lease component is the predominant component of the arrangement and consists of the fees charged for lodging. The nonlease components primarily consist of resort fees and other miscellaneous items. As the timing and pattern of transfer of both the lease and nonlease components are over the course of the lease term, we have elected to combine the revenue generated from lease and nonlease components into a single lease component based on the predominant component in the arrangement. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized lease revenue of approximately $514 million and $525 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized approximately $1.0 billion for both periods, which is included in Hotel revenues in the Statements of Operations.
Conventions
Convention arrangements are considered short-term and generally consist of lease and nonlease components. The lease component is the predominant component of the arrangement and consists of fees charged for the use of meeting space. The nonlease components primarily consist of food and beverage and audio/visual services. Revenue from conventions is included in Food and beverage revenue in the Statements of Operations and during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, lease revenue related to conventions was approximately $12 million for both periods, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, lease revenue related to conventions was approximately $25 million and $26 million, respectively.
Real Estate Operating Leases
Real estate lease revenue is included in Other revenue in the Statements of Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized approximately $37 million and $43 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized approximately $72 million and $80 million, respectively, of real estate lease revenue.
Real estate lease revenue includes $15 million and $16 million of variable rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $28 million and $30 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On April 24, 2024, the Board approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan and the Company’s stockholders subsequently approved the adoption of the amended and restated 2015 Plan on June 11, 2024. The amendment to the 2015 Plan allows for, among other things, an increase in the number of shares available for future grants to 8 million shares, plus the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan on the date the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment.
Total stock-based compensation expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations totaled $24 million and $29 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $49 million and $56 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in Corporate expense in the Company’s Statements of Operations.
2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”)
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, as part of the annual incentive program, the Company granted 1.8 million RSUs to eligible participants with an aggregate fair value of $81 million and a ratable vesting period of one to three years. Each RSU represents the right to receive payment in respect of one share of the Company’s Common Stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company also granted 133 thousand PSUs that are scheduled to cliff vest over a period of one to three years. On the vesting date, recipients will receive between 0% and 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, in the form of Company Common Stock, based on the achievement of specified performance and service conditions. The fair value of the PSUs is based on the market price of our common stock when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the awards between the Company and recipient is achieved. The awards are remeasured each period until such an understanding is reached. The aggregate value of PSUs granted during the year was $5 million as of June 30, 2024.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 429 thousand MSUs that are scheduled to cliff vest over a period of one to three years. On the vesting date, recipients will receive between 0% and 200% of the target number of MSUs granted, in the form of Company Common Stock, based on the achievement of specified market and service conditions. The grant date fair value of the MSUs was determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Key assumptions for the Monte-Carlo simulation model are the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividends and correlation coefficient. The effect of market conditions is considered in determining the grant date fair value, which is not subsequently revised based on actual performance. The aggregate value of MSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $25 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no grants of stock options. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, 847 thousand, 99 thousand and 19 thousand of RSUs, PSUs and MSUs, respectively, vested under the 2015 Plan.

Share Repurchase Program
In November 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $150 million common stock repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, repurchase shares of common stock on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The Share Repurchase Program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. There is no minimum number of shares of common stock that the Company is required to repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company has acquired 223,823 shares of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program at an aggregate value of $9 million and an average of $40.80 per share. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Shares Held in Escrow
In connection with the settlement of convertible notes during 2021, the Company issued approximately 139 thousand shares of common stock, at a fair value of approximately $14 million. The shares were contributed to, and held in, an escrow trust, which was recorded within Treasury stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the shares were released from escrow and returned to the Company following an update to the estimated disputed claims liability.
Note 10. Income Taxes
The Company utilized a discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270 “Income Taxes, Interim Reporting,” to calculate taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company determined that small changes in estimated “ordinary” income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), and therefore, the AETR method would not provide a reliable estimate.

The Company classifies accruals for uncertain tax positions within Other long-term liabilities on the Balance Sheets, separate from any related income tax payable or deferred income taxes. Reserve amounts relate to any potential income tax liabilities resulting from uncertain tax positions as well as potential interest or penalties associated with those liabilities.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company evaluated its forecasted adjusted taxable income and objectively verifiable evidence and placed substantial weight on its 2022 and 2023 quarterly earnings, adjusted for non-recurring items, including the interest expense disallowed under current tax law. Accordingly, the Company determined it was more likely than not that a portion of the federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized and, as a result, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company reversed the valuation allowance related to these deferred tax assets and recorded an income tax benefit of $940 million. The Company is still carrying a valuation allowance on certain federal and state deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized in the future. The Company has assessed the changes to the valuation allowance, including realization of the disallowed interest expense deferred tax asset, using the integrated approach.
The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 differed from the expected income tax benefit based on the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in federal and state valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for excess business interest expense.
The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differed from the expected income tax benefit based on the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the partial release of federal and state valuation allowances.

The Company, including its subsidiaries, files tax returns with federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company does not have tax sharing agreements with the other members within its consolidated group. The Company is subject to exam by various state and foreign tax authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal or state and local tax assessments by tax authorities for years before 2020, and it is possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next 12 months.
Note 11. Related Party and Affiliate Transactions
C. S. & Y. Associates
The Company owns the entire parcel on which Eldorado Resort Casino Reno is located, except for approximately 30,000 square feet which is leased from C. S. & Y. Associates (“CSY”) (the “CSY Lease”). CSY is a general partnership in which a trust has an approximate 27% interest. The Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board, Gary L. Carano, and his siblings are direct or indirect beneficiaries of the trust. The CSY Lease expires on June 30, 2057. Annual rent pursuant to the CSY Lease is currently $0.6 million, paid monthly. Annual rent is subject to periodic rent escalations of 1 to 2 percent through the term of the lease. Commensurate with its interest, the trust receives directly from the Company approximately 27% of the rent paid by the Company. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts due to or from CSY.
CVA Holdco, LLC
In May 2023, the Company entered into a joint venture, CVA Holdco, LLC, with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (“EBCI”) and an additional minority partner, to construct, own and operate a gaming facility in Danville, Virginia (“Caesars Virginia”). Caesars Virginia opened in a temporary facility on May 15, 2023 which will be replaced by a permanent facility that is currently under construction and is estimated to open in December 2024. As the managing member, the Company will operate the business and manage the development, construction, financing, marketing, leasing, maintenance and day-to-day operation of the various phases of the project. While the Company holds a 49.5% variable interest in the joint venture, it is the primary beneficiary; as such, the joint venture’s operations are included in the Financial Statements, with a minority interest recorded reflecting the operations attributed to the other partners. The Company participates ratably, based on ownership percentage, with the partners in the profits and losses of the joint venture. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made distributions totaling $14 million to EBCI and the other minority partner.
Pompano Joint Venture
In April 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with Cordish Companies (“Cordish”) to plan and develop a mixed-use entertainment and hospitality destination expected to be located on unused land adjacent to the casino and racetrack at the Company’s Pompano property. As the managing member, Cordish will operate the business and manage the development, construction, financing, marketing, leasing, maintenance and day-to-day operation of the various phases of the project. Additionally, Cordish will be responsible for the development of the master plan for the project with the Company’s input and will submit it for the Company’s review and approval. While the Company holds a 50% variable interest in the joint venture, it is not the primary beneficiary; as such, the investment in the joint venture is accounted for using the equity method and is recorded in Investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates on the Balance Sheet. The Company participates evenly with Cordish in the profits and losses of the joint venture, which are included in Transaction and other costs, net on the Statements of Operations.
Since inception of the joint venture, the Company has contributed a total of $7 million in cash and approximately 209 acres of land with a total fair value of $69 million. The Company has no further obligation to contribute additional real estate or cash. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $64 million of income related to the investment, primarily due to the joint venture’s gain on the sale of a land parcel. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s investment in the joint venture was $147 million and is recorded in Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates on the Balance Sheets.

Note 12. Segment Information
The executive decision maker of the Company reviews operating results, assesses performance and makes decisions on a “significant market” basis. Management views each of the Company’s casinos as an operating segment. Operating segments are aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, and their management and reporting structure. The Company’s principal operating activities occur in four reportable segments. The reportable segments are based on the similar characteristics of the operating segments with the way management assesses these results and allocates resources, which is a consolidated view that adjusts for the effect of certain transactions between these reportable segments within Caesars: (1) Las Vegas, (2) Regional, (3) Caesars Digital, and (4) Managed and Branded, in addition to Corporate and Other. See table below for a summary of these segments. Also, see Note 3 and Note 4 for a discussion of any impairment of intangible assets or long-lived assets related to certain segments, when applicable.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Caesars to Adjusted EBITDA by Segment
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a measure of the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as revenues less certain operating expenses and is comprised of net income (loss) before (i) interest income and interest expense, net of interest capitalized, (ii) income tax (benefit) provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance at an operating property level.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA is included because management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure performance and allocate resources, and believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with additional information consistent with that used by management.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and operating results of Caesars Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, which may be referred to as the “Company,” “CEI,” “Caesars,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Form 10-Q have the same meanings as in the 2023 Annual Report.
We refer to (i) our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (ii) our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheets,” (iii) our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as our “Statements of Operations,” and (iv) our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows as our “Statements of Cash Flows.” References to numbered “Notes” refer to “Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements” included in Item 1, “Unaudited Financial Statements,” unless otherwise noted.
The statements in this discussion regarding our expectations of our future performance, liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information” in this report.
Objective
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to be a narrative explanation of the financial statements and other statistical data that should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements to enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. Our objectives are: (i) to provide a narrative explanation of our financial statements that will enable investors to see the Company through the eyes of management; (ii) to enhance the overall financial disclosure and provide the context within which financial information should be analyzed; and (iii) to provide information about the quality of, and potential variability of, our earnings and cash flows so that investors can ascertain the likelihood of whether past performance is indicative of future performance.
Overview
We are a geographically diversified gaming and hospitality company that was founded in 1973 by the Carano family with the opening of the Eldorado Hotel Casino in Reno, Nevada. Beginning in 2005, we grew through a series of acquisitions, including the acquisition of MTR Gaming Group, Inc. in 2014, Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. in 2017, Tropicana Entertainment, Inc. in 2018, Caesars Entertainment Corporation in 2020 and William Hill PLC in 2021. Our ticker symbol on the NASDAQ Stock Market is “CZR.”
We own, lease, brand or manage an aggregate of 53 domestic properties in 18 states with approximately 51,000 slot machines, video lottery terminals and e-tables, approximately 2,800 table games and approximately 44,900 hotel rooms as of June 30, 2024. In addition, we have other properties in North America that are authorized to use the brands and marks of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. Our primary source of revenue is generated by our casino properties’ gaming operations, our retail and online sports betting and online gaming, and we utilize our hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment, racing, retail shops and other services to attract customers to our properties.
As of June 30, 2024, we owned 22 of our casinos and leased 24 casinos in the U.S. We lease 18 casinos from VICI Properties L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“VICI”), pursuant to a regional lease, a Las Vegas lease and a Joliet lease (the “VICI Leases”). In addition, we lease six casinos from GLP Capital, L.P., the operating partnership of Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (“GLPI”) pursuant to a Master Lease (as amended, the “GLPI Master Lease”) and a Lumière lease associated with our Horseshoe St. Louis property (together with the GLPI Master Lease, the “GLPI Leases”).

We are also in the process of expanding our Caesars Digital footprint into other states in the near term with our Caesars Sportsbook, Caesars Racebook and iGaming mobile apps as jurisdictions legalize or provide necessary approvals. No customers under 21 years old are allowed to wager on any of our Caesars Sportsbook, Caesars Racebook and iGaming mobile apps.
Investments and Partnerships
Pompano Joint Venture
In April 2018, we entered into a joint venture with Cordish Companies (“Cordish”) to plan and develop a mixed-use entertainment and hospitality destination expected to be located on unused land adjacent to the casino and racetrack at our Pompano property. As the managing member, Cordish will operate the business and manage the development, construction, financing, marketing, leasing, maintenance and day-to-day operation of the various phases of the project. Additionally, Cordish will be responsible for the development of the master plan for the project with our input and will submit it for our review and approval. While we hold a 50% variable interest in the joint venture, we are not the primary beneficiary; as such, the investment

in the joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. We participate evenly with Cordish in the profits and losses of the joint venture, which are included in Transaction and other costs, net on the Statements of Operations.
We have contributed a total of $7 million in cash and approximately 209 acres of land with a total fair value of $69 million. We have no further obligation to contribute additional real estate or cash. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $64 million of income related to the investment, primarily due to the joint venture’s gain on the sale of a land parcel. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our investment in the joint venture was $147 million and is recorded in Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates on the Balance Sheets.
Reportable Segments
Segment results in this MD&A are presented consistent with the way our management reviews operating results, assesses performance and makes decisions on a “significant market” basis. Management views each of the Company’s casinos as an operating segment. Operating segments are aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, and their management and reporting structure. Our principal operating activities occur in four reportable segments: (1) Las Vegas, (2) Regional, (3) Caesars Digital, and (4) Managed and Branded, in addition to Corporate and Other.
Presentation of Financial Information
The presentation of financial information herein for the periods after our completed divestiture of Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino (“Rio”) at the end of the third quarter of 2023 is not fully comparable to the periods prior to such divestiture.
This MD&A is intended to provide information to assist in better understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. Our historical operating results may not be indicative of our future results of operations because of the factor described in the preceding paragraph and the changing competitive landscape in each of our markets, including changes in market and societal trends, as well as by factors discussed elsewhere herein. We recommend that you read this MD&A in conjunction with our unaudited Financial Statements and the notes to those statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Key Performance Metrics
Our primary source of revenue is generated by our gaming operations, our retail and online sports betting, as well as our online gaming. Additionally, we utilize our hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, retail shops, racing and other services to attract customers to our properties. Our operating results are highly dependent on the volume and quality of customers staying at, or visiting, our properties and using our sports betting and iGaming applications.
Key performance metrics include volume indicators such as drop or handle, which refer to amounts wagered by our customers. The amount of volume we retain, which is not fully controllable by us, is recognized as casino revenues and is referred to as our win or hold. Slot win percentage is typically in the range of approximately 9% to 11% of slot handle for both the Las Vegas and Regional segments. Table games hold percentage is typically in the range of approximately 16% to 23% of table games drop in both the Las Vegas and Regional segments. Sports betting hold is typically in the range of 5% to 10% and iGaming hold typically ranges from 3% to 5%. In addition, hotel occupancy, which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, is a key indicator for our hotel business in the Las Vegas segment. See “Results of Operations” section below. Complimentary and discounted rooms are treated as occupied rooms in our calculation of hotel occupancy. The key metrics we utilize to measure our profitability and performance are Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Significant Factors Impacting Financial Results
The following summary highlights the significant factors impacting our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
•New Developments – During the construction of the permanent facilities for Caesars Virginia and Harrah’s Columbus Nebraska, we opened temporary gaming facilities during the second quarter of 2023. Caesars Virginia’s temporary facility opened on May 15, 2023, and the permanent facility is scheduled to open in December 2024. Harrah’s Columbus Nebraska’s temporary facility was open from June 12, 2023, through March 20, 2024, closing in anticipation of the permanent facility which opened on May 17, 2024, following weeks of construction disruption due to weather.
•Caesars Sportsbook, Caesars Racebook and iGaming mobile apps – We continue to launch Caesars Sportsbook and Caesars Racebook in new jurisdictions, and our online and mobile iGaming application, Caesars Palace Online Casino, launched in the summer of 2023. As new states and jurisdictions have legalized sports betting, we have made varying degrees of upfront investments which have been executed through marketing campaigns and promotional incentives to acquire new customers and establish our presence in the new state or jurisdiction. We adjust our level of investment during the launch period in new jurisdictions based, in part, on prior experience and do not expect such investment to continue at elevated levels subsequent to the initial launch periods. Furthermore, on June 18, 2024, we completed the acquisition of the operations of WynnBET’s Michigan iGaming business and long-term extension of iGaming market access rights with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
•Debt Transactions – During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we refinanced $4.4 billion of debt in both periods. In April 2024, Caesars Virginia, LLC entered into a new $425 million Caesars Virginia Delayed Draw Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility and utilized $120 million as of June 30, 2024. In addition, we amended the CEI Credit Agreement and reduced the interest rate margin on the CEI Term Loan B in May 2024. We made a voluntary principal repayment of $100 million on our CEI Term Loan B in June 2024. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below for more detail related to 2024 transactions. As a result of these transactions, we recorded loss on early extinguishment of debt on the Statements of Operations of $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $51 million and $197 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
•Economic Factors Impacting Discretionary Spending – Gaming and other leisure activities we offer represent discretionary expenditures which may be sensitive to economic downturns which impacts the behavior among the components of our customer mix differently. We also monitor recent trends, including higher inflation, interest rates, and global hostilities, and the related effects on travel, our customers, and our operations.
•Impairment Charges – Primarily due to localized competition within certain markets in the Regional segment, resulting in decreased projected future cash flows at certain properties, the Company recognized impairments of certain intangible assets. The Company identified trademarks, gaming rights and goodwill at three reporting units with estimated fair values below their respective carrying values. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized impairment charges totaling $118 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not realize an impairment.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period, consolidated net revenues decreased primarily due to continued headwinds in our Regional segment as a result of increased competition in certain markets and construction disruption from renovation projects at certain of our properties. The Las Vegas segment continues to generate high hotel occupancy, improved room rates and improved table games hold in the second quarter of 2024. Caesars Digital continues to generate strong revenue growth driven by improved sports betting hold and increases in both iGaming handle and iGaming hold.

Consolidated net revenues decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period, due to a decline in casino revenues in our Las Vegas segment primarily driven by the decrease in gaming volume associated with the divestiture of Rio at the end of the third quarter of 2023. The Regional segment was negatively impacted by inclement weather in several of our property locations during the first quarter of 2024, the continued impact of competition associated with new casino resorts opening in some of our regional markets, and construction disruption from renovation projects at certain of our properties during the first half of 2024. These results were partially offset by net revenues generated from the opening of our temporary gaming facilities at Caesars Virginia and Harrah’s Columbus Nebraska during the second quarter of 2023, followed by the permanent facility of Harrah’s Columbus Nebraska in May 2024. Furthermore, Caesars Digital delivered strong revenue growth driven by higher hold in sports betting and a significant increase in iGaming volumes coupled with improved hold.

Casino expenses consist principally of salaries and wages associated with our gaming operations, gaming taxes and marketing and advertising costs attributable to our Caesars Digital segment. Food and beverage expenses consist principally of salaries and wages and costs of goods sold associated with our food and beverage operations. Hotel expenses consist principally of salaries, wages and supplies associated with our hotel operations. Other expenses consist principally of salaries and wages, costs of goods sold associated with our retail operations, entertainment costs, including professional talent fees, and other operations.
Casino expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period, in connection with higher gaming taxes and software costs associated with increased revenues in our Caesars Digital segment, offset in part by lower gaming revenues in our Regional segment. We continue to strategically manage our marketing and advertising spend to reduce our casino expenses related to our Caesars Digital segment. Food and beverage expenses have increased mainly due to higher union and non-union wages in addition to increased employee head count in our Las Vegas segment associated with new food and beverage offerings. We continue to focus on labor efficiencies to manage increased labor costs.
General and administrative expenses include items such as information technology, facility maintenance, utilities, property and liability insurance, expenses for administrative departments such as accounting, compliance, purchasing, human resources, legal, internal audit, property taxes and marketing expenses indirectly related to our gaming and non-gaming operations. General and administrative expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year periods, due to lower general advertising expenses and reduced rent expense related to the Rio which was divested at the end of the third quarter of 2023.
Corporate expenses include unallocated expenses such as payroll, inclusive of the annual bonus, stock-based compensation, professional fees, and other various expenses not directly related to the Company’s operations.
Impairment charges were recorded within our Regional segment in June 2024 as a result of a decrease in projected future cash flows at certain properties primarily due to localized competition.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same prior year period primarily related to recently completed construction projects.

Interest expense, net increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to the annual rent escalator associated with our VICI Leases. Interest expense associated with our debt instruments is also slightly higher due to our debt mix, partially offset by our continuing efforts to reduce outstanding debt. An increase in capitalized interest resulting from ongoing construction projects, including our new developments, has also offset the increase in total interest expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, loss on extinguishment of debt was primarily related to the prepayments of the CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2025 and the Caesars Resort Collection (“CRC”) Senior Secured Notes and the partial prepayment of the CEI Term Loan B. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, loss on extinguishment of debt was primarily related to the prepayments of the CRC Term Loan and the CRC Incremental Term Loan.
Other income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily represents a change in estimate of our disputed claims liability.
The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 differed from the expected income tax benefit based on the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in federal and state valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for excess business interest expense.
The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differed from the expected income tax benefit based on the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the partial release of federal and state valuation allowances.

(a)Prior year gaming volumes include Rio’s table games drop of $23 million and $50 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and slot handle of $111 million and $244 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period, our Las Vegas segment’s net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased slightly as a result of improved hotel occupancy and higher room rates and table games hold. Increased labor costs and the divestiture of Rio at the end of the third quarter of 2023 partially offset these increases and contributed to lower gaming volumes and casino revenue. However, a decrease in rent associated with Rio provided a benefit to net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. New food and beverage offerings also contributed to improved net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.
Our Las Vegas segment’s net revenues, net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period. Net revenues were negatively impacted by lower casino volumes associated with the divestiture of Rio. The Las Vegas segment was also negatively impacted by higher operating costs associated with (a) higher union and non-union wages, (b) increased employee head count associated with new food and beverage offerings and (c) increased promotional costs associated with special events held over the Super Bowl weekend.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, slot win percentage in the Las Vegas segment was within our typical range.

Our Regional segment’s net revenues decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to inclement weather in several of our regional property locations that negatively impacted visitor volume in the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, the continued impact of competition associated with new casino resorts opening in some of our regional markets and ongoing construction disruption from renovation projects at certain of our properties within the segment contributed to the decline in net revenues. The Regional segment has also experienced declines in gaming volume resulting from a shift in customer mix as our higher rated play has remained steady with some growth, partially offset by a reduction in unrated play. Moreover, Regional hotel revenues benefited from a national tournament that drove visitation to the northern Nevada region in the second quarter of 2023. The impact of these unfavorable factors were partially offset by the incremental revenues attributable to our temporary gaming facilities at Caesars Virginia and Harrah’s Columbus Nebraska that opened during the second quarter in 2023. The permanent facility of Harrah’s Columbus Nebraska opened in May 2024 following the closure of the temporary facility in March 2024.
As a result of the continued headwinds in the Regional segment impacting certain of our properties, we recorded impairments totaling $118 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Slot win percentage in the Regional segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was within our typical range.

Caesars Digital reflects the operations for retail and online sports betting, iGaming, poker, and horse racing, which includes our Caesars Sportsbook, Caesars Racebook and iGaming mobile apps.
Caesars Digital’s net revenues, net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved significantly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to higher iGaming handle and iGaming hold coupled with improved sports betting hold. Sports betting hold improved for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to prior year, reflecting the benefit of continued investment in our sports betting platform.
As sports betting and online casinos expand through increased state or jurisdictional legalization, new product launches, and customer adoption, variations in hold percentages and increases in promotional and marketing expenses in highly competitive markets during promotional periods may negatively impact Caesars Digital’s net revenues, net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in comparison to current or prior periods.

Supplemental Unaudited Presentation of Consolidated Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Adjusted EBITDA (described below), a non-GAAP financial measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry and we believe that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding our ongoing operating results. Management has historically used Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a full understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income or interest expense net of interest capitalized, (benefit) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment charges, other (income) loss, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, transaction costs associated with our acquisitions, developments, and divestitures, and non-cash changes in equity method investments. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the expense associated with certain of our leases as these transactions were accounted for as financing obligations and the associated expense is included in interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, debt principal repayments, and payments under our leases with
Table of Contents
36

affiliates of VICI Properties Inc. and GLPI, which can be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. Other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as the definitions used in any of our debt agreements.

The additional financial information is included to enable the comparison of current results with results of prior periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are a holding company, and our only significant assets are ownership interests in our subsidiaries. Our ability to fund our obligations depends on existing cash on hand, cash flows from our subsidiaries and our ability to raise capital. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations, availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities. Our cash requirements may fluctuate significantly depending on our decisions with respect to business acquisitions or divestitures and strategic capital and marketing investments.
As of June 30, 2024, our cash on hand and borrowing capacity was as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our operating activities generated operating cash inflows of $534 million, as compared to operating cash inflows of $953 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to changes in working capital, coupled with the results of operations described above.
On February 6, 2024, we entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 3 pursuant to which we incurred a new senior secured incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $2.9 billion (the “CEI Term Loan B-1”) under the CEI Credit Agreement. The CEI Term Loan B-1 requires quarterly principal payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the CEI Term Loan B-1, with the balance payable at maturity. Borrowings under the CEI Term Loan B-1 bear interest, paid at least quarterly, at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) a forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), subject to a floor of 0.50% or (b) a base rate (the “Base Rate”) determined by reference to the highest of (i) the “Prime Rate” in the United States, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is 2.75% per annum in the case of any Term SOFR loan and 1.75% per annum in the case of any Base Rate loan. The CEI Term Loan B-1 was issued at a price of 99.75% of the principal amount and will mature on February 6, 2031.
Additionally, on February 6, 2024, we issued $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior secured notes due 2032 (the “CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2032”) pursuant to an indenture by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent. The CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2032 rank equally with all existing and future first-priority lien obligations of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors. The CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2032 will mature on February 15, 2032, with interest payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing August 15, 2024.
The net proceeds from the CEI Term Loan B-1 and the net proceeds from the issuance of the CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2032, together with borrowings under the CEI Revolving Credit Facility, were used to tender, redeem, repurchase, defease, and/or satisfy and discharge any and all of the principal amounts, including accrued and unpaid interest, related expenses and fees of both the 5.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “CRC Senior Secured Notes”) and the 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2025”). As a result of these transactions, we recognized $48 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt.
On May 9, 2024, we entered into a fourth amendment to the CEI Credit Agreement which, among other things, reduces the interest rate margin applicable to the Company’s existing CEI Term Loan B to 2.75% per annum in the case of any Term SOFR loan and 1.75% per annum in the case of any Base Rate loan. Prior to the fourth amendment, the applicable margin was 3.25% per annum in the case of any Term SOFR loan (plus a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.10%) and 2.25% per annum in the case of any Base Rate loan, subject to one 0.25% step-down based on our net total leverage ratio. On June 28, 2024, we made a voluntary repayment of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of the CEI Term Loan B with cash on hand.
On April 26, 2024, Caesars Virginia, LLC entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain banks and other financial institutions and lenders party thereto (the “CVA Credit Agreement”), which provides for a senior secured first lien multi-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “CVA Delayed Draw Term Loan”) and a senior secured first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million (the “CVA Revolving Credit Facility”), both maturing on April 26, 2029. The CVA Delayed Draw Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter following the opening date of the permanent facility of Caesars Virginia. The CVA Revolving Credit Facility and the CVA Delayed Draw Term Loan are subject to a variable rate of interest based on Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. As of June 30, 2024, there was $120 million utilized under the CVA Delayed Draw Term Loan.
We expect that our primary capital requirements going forward will relate to the expansion and maintenance of our properties, taxes, servicing our outstanding indebtedness, and rent payments under the GLPI Leases and the VICI Leases. We make capital expenditures and perform continuing refurbishment and maintenance at our properties to maintain our quality standards. Our capital expenditure requirements for the remainder of 2024 include expansion projects, hotel renovations and continued investment into new markets with our Caesars Sportsbook and iGaming applications in our Caesars Digital segment. In addition, we may, from time to time, seek to repurchase or prepay our outstanding indebtedness. Any such purchases or prepayments may be funded by existing cash balances or the incurrence of debt. The amount and timing of any repurchase will be based on business and market conditions, capital availability, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

We have agreements with certain professional sports leagues and teams, sporting event facilities and media companies for tickets, suites, advertising, marketing, promotional and sponsorship opportunities including communication with partner customer databases. Some of the agreements provide us with exclusivity to access the aforementioned rights within the casino and/or sports betting category. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, obligations related to these agreements were $537 million and $605 million, respectively, with contracts extending through 2040. These obligations include leasing of event suites that are generally considered short term leases for which we do not record a right of use asset or lease liability. We recognize expenses in the period services are received in accordance with the various agreements. In addition, assets or liabilities may be recorded related to the timing of payments as required by the respective agreement.
Our partnership with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to build and develop Caesars Virginia is estimated to open its permanent facility in December 2024. The permanent development has a budget of $650 million and will include a premier destination resort casino with a 320-room hotel, 1,300 slot machines, 85 live table games, a WSOP Poker Room, a Caesars Sportsbook, a live entertainment theater and 40,000 square feet of meeting and convention space. Caesars Virginia’s temporary facility opened on May 15, 2023 and the permanent facility is scheduled to open in December 2024. Construction of Caesars Virginia’s permanent facility is being funded in part by cash flows from the temporary facility as well as funds available under the CVA Credit Agreement.
Additionally, on May 17, 2024, we opened the permanent facility of Harrah’s Columbus Nebraska which is a casino featuring a new one-mile horse racing surface, a 40,000-square-foot-casino and sportsbook with more than 400 slot machines and 20 table games, as well as a restaurant and retail space.
As a condition of the extension of the casino operating contract and ground lease for Caesars New Orleans, formerly Harrah’s New Orleans, we were also required to make a capital investment of at least $325 million on or around Caesars New Orleans. The capital investment involves the rebranding of the property to Caesars New Orleans which includes a renovation and full interior and exterior redesign, updated casino floor, new culinary experiences and a new 340-room hotel tower. The project has a current capital plan of $430 million and is expected to be complete in late 2024.
Cash used for capital expenditures totaled $593 million and $573 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to our growth, renovation, maintenance, and other capital projects. The following table summarizes our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and an estimated range of capital expenditures for the remainder of 2024. Excluding capital expenditure relating to Caesars Virginia, we estimate 2024 cash capital expenditure spend of approximately $800 million.

(a)On April 26, 2024, Caesars Virginia, LLC entered into a new five-year $425 million pro rata bank financing to fund the remaining capital expenditures associated with the permanent casino resort facility, which is expected to open in December 2024.
A significant portion of our liquidity needs are for debt service and payments associated with our leases. Our estimated debt service (including principal and interest) is approximately $510 million for the remainder of 2024. We also lease certain real property assets from third parties, including VICI and GLPI. The VICI Leases are subject to annual escalations, that take effect in November of each year, based on the Consumer Price Index. We estimate our lease payments to VICI and GLPI to be approximately $660 million for the remainder of 2024.
We have periodically divested assets to raise capital or, in previous cases, to comply with conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions imposed by antitrust, gaming and other regulatory entities. If an agreed upon selling price for future divestitures does not exceed the carrying value of the assets, we may be required to record additional impairment charges in future periods which may be material.

We expect that our current liquidity, including availability of borrowings under our committed credit facility and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital requirements and service our outstanding indebtedness for the next twelve months.
Debt and Master Lease Covenant Compliance
The CEI Revolving Credit Facility, the CEI Term Loan A, the CEI Term Loan B, the CEI Term Loan B-1 and the indentures governing the CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2030, the CEI Senior Secured Notes due 2032, the CEI Senior Notes due 2027, and the CEI Senior Notes due 2029 contain covenants which are standard and customary for these types of agreements. These include negative covenants, which, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, limit our ability to (among other items) incur additional indebtedness, make investments, make restricted payments, including dividends, grant liens, sell assets and make acquisitions.
The CEI Revolving Credit Facility and the CEI Term Loan A include a maximum net total leverage ratio financial covenant of 7.25:1 until December 31, 2024 and 6.50:1 from and after December 31, 2024. In addition, the CEI Revolving Credit Facility and the CEI Term Loan A include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant of 1.75:1 until December 31, 2024 and 2.0:1 from and after December 31, 2024. From and after the repayment of the CEI Term Loan A, the financial covenants applicable to the CEI Revolving Credit Facility will be tested solely to the extent that certain testing conditions are satisfied. Failure to comply with such covenants could result in an acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness outstanding under the relevant debt document.
The GLPI Leases and VICI Leases contain certain covenants requiring minimum capital expenditures based on a percentage of net revenues along with maintaining certain financial ratios.
As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the applicable financial covenants described above.
The CVA Revolving Credit Facility and the CVA Delayed Draw Term Loan contain covenants which are standard and customary for this type of agreement, including a maximum net total leverage ratio financial covenant of 4:1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant of 1.05:1. Caesars Virginia LLC’s compliance requirements commence after the first full quarter following the opening of the permanent facility of Caesars Virginia.
Share Repurchase Program
In November 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a $150 million common stock repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which we may, from time to time, repurchase shares of common stock on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The Share Repurchase Program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. There is no minimum number of shares of common stock that we are required to repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program.
As of June 30, 2024, we have acquired 223,823 shares of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program at an aggregate value of $9 million and an average of $40.80 per share. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no other material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to our contractual obligations as disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of the 2023 Annual Report. See Note 5 to our unaudited Financial Statements, which is included elsewhere in this report, for additional information regarding contractual obligations.
Other Liquidity Matters
We are faced with certain contingencies, from time to time, involving litigation, claims, assessments, environmental remediation or compliance. These commitments and contingencies are discussed in greater detail, when applicable, in “Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings” and Note 5 to our unaudited Financial Statements, both of which are included elsewhere in this report. See “Part I, Item 1A.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies disclosures are included in the 2023 Annual Report. There have been no material changes since December 31, 2023. We have not substantively changed the application of our policies, and there have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques used as compared to those described in the 2023 Annual Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from variable rate long-term debt arrangements. We manage our interest rate risk by monitoring interest rates, including future projected rates, and adjust our mix of fixed and variable rate borrowings.
As of June 30, 2024, long-term variable-rate borrowings totaled $6.1 billion under the CEI Term Loans and the CVA Delayed Draw Term Loan and no amounts were outstanding under the CEI Revolving Credit Facility or the CVA Revolving Credit Facility. Long-term variable-rate borrowings under the CEI Term Loans and the CVA Delayed Draw Term Loan represented approximately 49% of consolidated long-term debt as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rates on our variable and fixed rate debt were 8.00% and 6.70%, respectively.
All of the variable rate debt instruments are subject to Term SOFR interest rates plus a reasonable margin.
We evaluate our exposure to market risk by monitoring interest rates in the marketplace and have, on occasion, utilized derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. There have been no other material quantitative changes in our market risk exposure, or how such risks are managed from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of the 2023 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls
