The Company’s first quarter 2020 net operating revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were significantly impacted by the acquisition of Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort, Century Casino Cape Girardeau and Century Casino Caruthersville (the “Acquired Casinos”) in December 2019. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic discussed below significantly impacted the Company’s first quarter 2020 results of operations, which included a $33.0 million impairment of goodwill and casino licenses.
COVID-19 Update
In late 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 was identified in China and has since spread throughout much of the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the Company’s first quarter 2020 results of operations and financial condition, and we expect this situation will have an adverse impact on our second quarter 2020 results. The trends below are not the only items that could impact the Company’s future performance, and the views of management are preliminary based on currently available information. Between March 14, 2020 and March 17, 2020, the Company closed all of its casinos, hotels and other facilities to comply with quarantines issued by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Company anticipates a phased approach to reopening will be recommended by government officials in the jurisdictions where it operates, which could include reduced levels of gaming space, social distancing at slot machines and table games or reduced capacity within the casino, limited restaurant operating hours or continued closure of restaurants, requirements to wear face masks, including the potential to require guests to wear face masks, increased frequency of disinfecting surfaces and other measures to account for varying levels of demand. The Company’s casinos rely on a local customer base and, as such, the Company anticipates that its operations could resume at a quicker rate than those of casinos at destination resorts. The timing for reopening the Company’s closed locations will depend on determinations by governments in

each jurisdiction. The Company reopened its Poland casinos on May 18, 2020. Based on information currently available, the Company is anticipating reopening most of its other locations beginning in June 2020 and no later than August 2020. However, the Company cannot predict how quickly customers will return to its casinos. The Company permanently closed Century Casino Bath in March 2020 and four of the ship-based casinos that the Company operated prior to their closures in March 2020 will not reopen due to expiration of the Company’s concession agreements for those casinos.
Due to the temporary closures of its casinos, hotels and other facilities, the Company has taken actions to reduce operating costs, including furloughing most of its personnel and implementing reduced work weeks for other personnel. During the closures, the Company will continue to pay benefits to its United States and Canadian employees, inclusive of part time employees, through May 2020. In Poland, all employees were paid reduced salaries based on local employment laws. In March 2020, as a proactive measure to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company borrowed an additional $17.4 million on its revolving credit facility with Macquarie Capital (“Macquarie”) and its credit agreement with UniCredit Bank Austria AG (“UniCredit”). The Company has no remaining availability under these credit facilities. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had $50.0 million in cash on hand. The Company currently is not generating any revenue from its properties, and estimates that the net cash outflow during the time the operations continue to be fully suspended will be, on average, approximately $8.0 million per month. Management estimates that the Company will need approximately $19.8 million to reopen operations and cover short-term cash needs at the casinos.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic and associated closure of its casinos were triggering events that could indicate possible impairment of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company performed a quantitative and qualitative impairment analysis and determined that goodwill and casino licenses related to certain reporting units were impaired. As a result, the Company recorded $33.0 million to impairment – goodwill and intangible assets on its condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

“During these unprecedented times, our primary focus is the health, safety and well-being of our team members, guests and communities,” Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Century Casinos remarked. “Through the end of February, we were encouraged by the strength of our operations and the significant growth in net operating revenue and Adjusted EBITDA driven in part by our recent acquisition of properties in Missouri and West Virginia. We look forward to reopening our properties, and we plan to meet or exceed all safety requirements set forth by health officials,” Haitzmann and Hoetzinger concluded.

CENTURY CASINOS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
* The impact of foreign exchange rates is highly variable and difficult to predict. The Company uses a Constant Currency basis to show the impact from foreign exchange rates on current period revenue compared to prior period revenue using the prior period’s foreign exchange rates. In order to properly understand the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations, management believes that investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding changes in foreign exchange rates from the Company’s net operating revenue, earnings from operations and net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders. Constant currency results are calculated by dividing the current quarter or year to date local currency segment results, excluding the local currency impact of foreign currency gains and losses, by the prior year’s average exchange rate for the quarter or year to date and comparing them to actual U.S. dollar results for the prior quarter or year to date. The average exchange rates for the current quarter and the prior year first quarter are reported in Item 1 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Constant currency information is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for net operating revenue, earnings from operations or net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders as determined in accordance with US GAAP.
** The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests net earnings (loss) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, (gain) loss on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other, gain on business combination and certain other one-time transactions. Expense related to the Master Lease and CDR land lease is included in the interest expense (income), net line item. Intercompany transactions consisting primarily of management and royalty fees and interest, along with their related tax effects, are excluded from the presentation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders and Adjusted EBITDA reported for each segment. Not all of the aforementioned items occur in each reporting period, but have been included in the definition based on historical activity. These adjustments have no effect on the consolidated results as reported under US GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of performance recognized under US GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable measure of the relative performance of the Company and its properties. The gaming industry commonly uses Adjusted EBITDA as a method of arriving at the economic value of a casino operation. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to compare the relative operating performance of separate operating units by eliminating the above-mentioned items associated with the varying levels of capital expenditures for infrastructure required to generate revenue and the often high cost of acquiring existing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company’s lending institution to gauge operating performance. The Company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similar measures used by other companies within the gaming industry. Please see the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders above.
*** The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net operating revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-US GAAP measure. Management uses this margin as one of several measures to evaluate the efficiency of the Company’s casino operations.
