During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized an impairment charge of $50 million related to gaming rights due to a decline in recent performance and downgraded expectations for future cash flows at the properties of our subsidiary Caesars Entertainment UK (“CEUK”). We used the “Excess Earnings Method” for estimating the fair value.
