The Company owns, operates and manages the following casinos through wholly-owned subsidiaries in North America:

The Century Casino & Hotel in Central City, Colorado (“CTL”)

On February 10, 2022, the Company sold the land and building in Calgary, transferred the lease agreement for the casino premises to the buyer, and ceased operating Century Sports, a sports bar, bowling and entertainment facility located on the property. See below in this Note 1 for additional information about the Calgary property.

Through August 2021, the Company operated the pari-mutuel off-track betting network in southern Alberta, Canada through Century Bets! Inc. (“CBS” or “Century Bets”). In September 2021, the Company transferred these contracts to Century Mile.

The Company’s Colorado and West Virginia subsidiaries have partnered with sports betting and iGaming operators to offer sports wagering and online betting through mobile apps.

The Company has a controlling financial interest through its wholly-owned subsidiary Century Resorts Management GmbH (“CRM”) in the following majority-owned subsidiaries:

The Company owns 66.6% of Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL” or “Casinos Poland”). As of September 30, 2022, CPL owned and operated eight casinos throughout Poland. CPL is consolidated as a majority-owned subsidiary for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports Company (“Polish Airports”) owns the remaining 33.3% of CPL, which is reported as a non-controlling financial interest.

The Company owns 75% of United Horsemen of Alberta Inc. dba Century Downs Racetrack and Casino (“CDR” or “Century Downs”). CDR operates Century Downs Racetrack and Casino, a REC in Balzac, a north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Company’s results of operations in the first half of 2021 because of closures at the Company’s Canada and Poland properties during this period. The table below provides a summary of the time periods in which the Company’s casinos, hotels and other facilities were closed in December 2020 and during 2021 to comply with quarantines issued by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Company’s casinos have varied their operations based on the governmental health and safety requirements in the jurisdictions in which they are located. Currently the Company’s operations are open and have no health and safety requirements for entry and few COVID-19 related restrictions.

Operating Segment	Closure Date	Reopen Date
Edmonton	December 13, 2020	June 10, 2021
Calgary	December 13, 2020	June 10, 2021
Poland	December 29, 2020	February 12, 2021
	March 20, 2021	May 28, 2021

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. The Company cannot predict the negative impacts that COVID-19 will have on its consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The effects of COVID-19, ongoing governmental health and safety requirements and any future closures could have a material impact on the Company. The Company will continue to monitor its liquidity and make reductions to marketing and operating expenditures, where possible, if future government mandates or closures are required that would have an adverse impact on the Company.

Other Projects and Developments

Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Flintstone, Maryland

On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Lakes Maryland Development, LLC (“Lakes Maryland”), Golden Entertainment, Inc (“Golden”), and VICI Properties, L.P. (“VICI PropCo”), an affiliate of VICI, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the operations of Rocky Gap Casino Resort (“Rocky Gap”) for approximately $56.1 million subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein (the “Rocky Gap Acquisition”). Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, by and between Evitts Resort, LLC (“Evitts”) and an affiliate of VICI PropCo (“VICI PropCo Buyer”), VICI PropCo Buyer agreed to acquire the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million, subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. In connection with the closing of this transaction, subsidiaries of the Company and VICI PropCo will enter into an amendment to their triple net lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) to (i) add Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) provide for an initial annual rent for Rocky Gap of approximately $15.5 million and (iii) extend the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five year renewal options).

Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada

On February 22, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Marnell Gaming, LLC (“Marnell”), pursuant to which a newly formed subsidiary of the Company (i) purchased from Marnell 50% of the membership interests in PropCo, and (ii) will purchase 100% of the membership interests in Nugget Sparks, LLC (“OpCo”). OpCo owns and operates the Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada, and PropCo owns the real property on which the casino is located.

The Company purchased 50% of the membership interests in PropCo for approximately $95.0 million (the “PropCo Acquisition”) at the first closing, which occurred on April 1, 2022 (the “First Closing”). The Company used approximately $29.3 million of cash on hand and borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement (see Note 5) in connection with the First Closing. Subject to approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission, the Company’s purchase of 100% of the membership interests in OpCo for approximately $100.0 million (subject to certain adjustments) (the “OpCo Acquisition” and, together with the PropCo Acquisition, the “Nugget Acquisition”) is expected to close within one year after the First Closing (the “Second Closing”). The purchase price for the OpCo Acquisition will be paid from proceeds of the Term Loan (as defined below) deposited in escrow (“Acquisition Escrow”) on the First Closing date. Following the Second Closing, the Company will own the operating assets of Nugget Casino Resort and 50% of the membership interests in PropCo. The Company also has a five year option to acquire the remaining 50% of the membership interests in PropCo for $105.0 million plus 2% per annum. At the First Closing, PropCo entered into a lease with OpCo for an annual rent of $15.0 million.

Caruthersville Land-Based Casino and Hotel

In July 2021, the Missouri law requiring each casino to be a floating facility was amended to allow casino facilities to be built as a standard building with a container with at least 2,000 gallons of water beneath the facility. Subsequently, a lawsuit was filed by the City of St. Louis that seeks to block the implementation of the omnibus bill that included the amendment to the definition of a floating facility. In June 2022, the Missouri governor signed a standalone bill to amend the definition of a floating facility. This change provides an opportunity for Century Casino Caruthersville, the last remaining riverboat casino on open water in Missouri, to move to a non-floating facility. The Company plans to move the casino from the riverboat to a new land-based casino with a small hotel adjacent to and connected with the existing building. Construction on the project began in October 2022, and it is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024 with an estimated project cost of $51.9 million. The Company plans to finance the cost of this project with a combination of financing and cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has spent $2.1 million on this project.

Recent Developments Related to Century Casino Caruthersville

On October 26, 2022, the Missouri Gaming Commission (“MGC”) approved the relocation of the casino at Century Casino Caruthersville from the riverboat and the barge to a land-based pavilion until the new land-based casino and hotel are completed. On October 13, 2022, the riverboat, which had operated since 1994, had to be closed as it was no longer accessible from the barge because of the record low water levels in the Mississippi River. Since then, Caruthersville has operated the casino from the barge with 299 slot machines and four table games. The pavilion building will not be affected by water levels and is protected by a flood wall. The pavilion will provide for easier access to the casino for customers and the Company anticipates it will bring operating efficiencies and cost savings. The casino will be smaller with approximately 400 slot machines and seven table games, compared to 519 slot machines and seven table games on the riverboat and barge. Caruthersville will continue to operate from the barge until the move to the pavilion is complete. The Company anticipates the move to the pavilion will be completed by the end of 2022 and that there will be no negative impact on results of operations thereafter.

Caruthersville Hotel

In July 2021, the Company announced that it had purchased land and a small two-story hotel near Century Casino Caruthersville with plans to refurbish the existing hotel’s 36 rooms. The Company opened the hotel on October 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has spent $2.7 million on this project and estimates an additional $1.0 million will be spent in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Cape Girardeau Hotel

The Company is building a hotel at its Cape Girardeau location. The hotel is planned as a six story building with 68,000 square feet that will be adjacent to and connected with the existing casino building. The hotel project has been approved by the City of Cape Girardeau. Additional state and local approvals from other agencies will also be required. Planning, design and preparations for the project are substantially complete. Construction on the project began in September 2022, and it is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. The Company estimates a project cost of approximately $30.5 million. The Company is financing the project with cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has spent $1.4 million on this project.

Terminated Projects

Century Sports

In August 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell the casino operations of Century Casino Calgary for CAD 10.0 million ($7.5 million based on the exchange rate on August 5, 2020) plus a three year quarterly earn out as specified in the agreement. The transaction closed on December 1, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company paid CAD 0.1 million ($0.1 million based on the exchange rate on February 12, 2021) in working capital adjustments under the purchase agreement. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company entered into a three year lease agreement with the purchaser of the casino operations for annual net rent for the land and building of CAD 0.5 million ($0.4 million based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2022).

After the sale, the Company continued to operate Century Sports, and to own the underlying real estate. On February 10, 2022, the Company sold the land and building in Calgary for CAD 8.0 million ($6.3 million based on the exchange rate on February 10, 2022) at which time the Company transferred the lease agreement for the casino premises to the buyer and ceased operating Century Sports. As of December 31, 2021, the assets held for sale included $4.8 million in land and $3.6 million in buildings and improvements, net of accumulated depreciation. Century Sports was included in the Canada reportable segment.

Mendoza Central Entretenimientos S.A.

The Company, through its subsidiary CRM, had a 7.5% ownership interest in Mendoza Central Entretenimientos S.A, an Argentina company (“MCE”), which leases slot machines and provides related services to Casino de Mendoza, a casino located in Mendoza, Argentina that is owned by the Province of Mendoza. In November 2021, CRM sold its ownership interest in MCE for nominal consideration. In addition, a consulting services agreement between CRM and MCE was terminated.

Preparation of Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission which apply to interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash – A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as stated in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is presented in the following table:

	September 30,		September 30,
Amounts in thousands	2022		2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	99,257	$	100,759
Restricted cash		100,100		196
Restricted cash included in deposits and other		142		227
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows	$	199,499	$	101,182

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $100.1 million related to the Acquisition Escrow in restricted cash and $0.1 million related to payment of prizes and giveaways for Casinos Poland and less than $0.1 million related to an insurance policy in restricted cash included in deposits and other on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $0.2 million in restricted cash related to cash held in escrow for a cancelled sale agreement for Calgary and $0.2 million related to payments of prizes and giveaways for Casinos Poland, and less than $0.1 million related to an insurance policy in restricted cash included in deposits and other on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management’s use of estimates includes estimates for property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and income tax.

Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts – The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD” or “$”). Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies. These transactions are typically denominated in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Polish zloty (“PLN”). Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in income from operations as they occur. 

The exchange rates to the US dollar used to translate balances at the end of the reported periods are as follows:

	As of September 30,	As of December 31,
Ending Rates	2022	2021
Canadian dollar (CAD)	1.3702	1.2678

Equity Investment – On April 1, 2022, the Company purchased 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon. Smooth Bourbon owns the real property on which the Nugget Casino is located. The additional 50% of the membership interest in Smooth Bourbon is held by Marnell. At Smooth Bourbon, decision making is controlled by Marnell, the managing member. The Company completed an assessment of whether Smooth Bourbon is a variable interest entity in which it has a financial interest. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that Smooth Bourbon is not subject to consolidation under the guidance for variable interest entities. The Company will evaluate its investment in Smooth Bourbon for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. See Note 3 for additional information about Smooth Bourbon.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted – The Company has not yet adopted the following accounting pronouncements:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). The objective of ASU 2020-04 is to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), which provides clarification that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASU 2020-04 for contract modification and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by discounting transition. The guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has evaluated its debt agreements under ASU 2020-04 and has determined that it will not need to modify any of the agreements as a result of the discontinuation of LIBOR. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements or notes thereto.

4.GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits of a business combination to the extent that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company determines the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed after review and consideration of relevant information including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices, and estimates made by management.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. Testing compares the estimated fair values of our reporting units to the reporting units’ carrying values. The reportable segments with goodwill balances as of September 30, 2022 included Canada and Poland. For the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the current fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill balances is estimated using a combination of (i) the income approach using the discounted cash flow method for projected revenue, EBITDA and working capital, (ii) the market approach observing the price at which comparable companies or shares of comparable companies are bought or sold, and (iii) fair value measurements using either quoted market price or an estimate of fair value using a present value technique. The cost approach, estimating the cost of reproduction or replacement of an asset, was considered but not used because it does not adequately capture an operating company’s intangible value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment analysis requires management to make estimates about future operating results, valuation multiples and discount rates and assumptions based on historical data and consideration of future market conditions. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect these estimates. Given the uncertainty inherent in any projection, heightened by the possibility of additional effects of COVID-19, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used, or conditions may change, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future. Such impairments could be material.

The Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. The fair value is determined primarily using the multi-period excess earnings methodology and the relief from royalty method under the income approach.

Trademarks

The Company currently owns three trademarks, the Century Casinos trademark, the Mountaineer trademark and the Casinos Poland trademark, which are reported as intangible assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Trademarks: Finite-Lived

The Company has determined that the Mountaineer trademark, reported in the United States segment, has a useful life of ten years after considering, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related assets or asset groups, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to promote and support the trade name. As such, the trademark will be amortized over its useful life. Costs incurred to renew trademarks that are finite-lived are expensed over the renewal period to general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Changes in the carrying amount of the Mountaineer trademark are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at January 1, 2022		Amortization		Balance at September 30, 2022
United States	$	1,874	$	(177)	$	1,697

As of September 30, 2022, estimated amortization expense of the Mountaineer trademark over the next five years was as follows:

	$	1,697

The weighted-average amortization period of the Mountaineer trademark is 7.2 years.

‎

Trademarks: Indefinite-Lived

The Company has determined that the Casinos Poland trademark, reported in the Poland segment, and the Century Casinos trademark, reported in the Corporate and Other segment, have indefinite useful lives and therefore the Company does not amortize these trademarks. Costs incurred to renew trademarks that are indefinite-lived are expensed over the renewal period as general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Changes in the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived trademarks are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at January 1, 2022		Currency translation		Balance at September 30, 2022

Casino Licenses: Finite-Lived

As of September 30, 2022, Casinos Poland had eight casino licenses, each with an original term of six years, which are reported as finite-lived intangible assets and are amortized over their respective useful lives. Changes in the carrying amount of the Casinos Poland licenses are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at January 1, 2022		New Casino License		Amortization		Currency translation		Balance at ‎September 30, 2022
Poland	$	1,019	$	390	$	(321)	$	(163)	$	925

2026		62
Thereafter		109
	$	925

These estimates do not reflect the impact of future foreign exchange rate changes or the continuation of the licenses following their expiration. The weighted average period before the next license expiration is 2.1 years. In Poland, gaming licenses are not renewable. Once a gaming license has expired, any gaming company can apply for the license.

Casino Licenses: Indefinite-Lived

The Company has determined that the casino licenses held in the United States segment from the Missouri Gaming Commission and the West Virginia Lottery Commission and those held in the Canada segment from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission and Horse Racing Alberta are indefinite-lived. Costs incurred to renew licenses that are indefinite-lived are expensed over the renewal period to general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Changes in the carrying amount of the licenses are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at ‎January 1, 2022		Currency translation		Balance at September 30, 2022

Player’s Club Lists

The Company has determined that the player’s club lists, reported in the United States segment, have a useful life of seven years based on estimated revenue attrition among the player’s club members over each property’s historical operations as estimated by management. As such, the player’s club lists will be amortized over their useful lives. Changes in the carrying amount of the player’s club lists are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at January 1, 2022		Amortization		Balance at September 30, 2022
United States	$	14,310	$	(2,183)	$	12,127

Goldman Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Goldman Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent and collateral agent, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and BOFA Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the Lenders and L/C Lenders party thereto. The Goldman Credit Agreement replaces the Macquarie Credit Agreement discussed below. The Goldman Credit Agreement provides for a $350.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $348.3 million and the Company had $30.0 million available to borrow on the Revolving Facility. The Company used the Goldman Credit Agreement to fund the PropCo Acquisition, for the repayment of approximately $166.2 million outstanding under the Macquarie Credit Agreement, to fund the Acquisition Escrow and for related fees and expenses.

The Term Loan matures on April 1, 2029, and the Revolving Facility matures on April 1, 2027. The Revolving Facility includes up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000 equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity.

16

Borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being a “SOFR Loan”) or (b) the ABR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being a “ABR Loan”). The applicable margin for the Term Loan is 6.00% per annum with respect to SOFR Loans and 5.00% per annum with respect to ABR Loans. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Facility (“Revolving Loans”) is (1) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) of the Company is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.25% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.25% per annum; (2) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 but greater than 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.00% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.00% per annum; and (3) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 4.75% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 3.75% per annum.

In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Company is required to pay each lender under the Revolving Facility a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments under the Revolving Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50% of the principal amount of unused commitments of such lender, subject to a stepdown to 0.375% based upon the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin then in effect for SOFR Loans that are Revolving Loans multiplied by the average daily maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit, plus such letter of credit issuer’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges and a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the face amount of such letter of credit. The Company is also required to pay customary agency fees. Fees related to the Goldman Credit Agreement of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million were recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

The Goldman Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay the Term Loan, subject to certain exceptions, with:

• 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or certain casualty events, subject to certain exceptions; and

• 50% of the Company’s annual Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) (which percentage will be reduced to 25% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.25 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00, and to 0% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00); and

• 100% of the funds in the Acquisition Escrow if the OpCo Acquisition does not occur.

The Goldman Credit Agreement provides that the Term Loan may be prepaid, subject to a prepayment premium in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term Loan if such event occurs on or before April 1, 2023. This premium does not apply if there is a mandatory prepayment with respect to the Acquisition Escrow.

The borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the material subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain exceptions (including the exclusion of the Company’s non-domestic subsidiaries), and are secured by a pledge (and, with respect to real property, mortgage) of substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The Goldman Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default. All future borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties. The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Goldman Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022.

Deferred financing costs consist of the Company’s costs related to financings. The Company recognized $18.9 million in deferred financing costs related to the Goldman Credit Agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Amortization expenses relating to the Goldman Credit Agreement were $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. These costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Credit Agreement – Macquarie Capital

In December 2019, the Company entered into a $180.0 million credit agreement with Macquarie Capital Funding LLC, as swingline lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and the Lenders and L/C Lenders party thereto (the “Macquarie Credit Agreement”). The Macquarie Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal (the “BMO Credit Agreement”). The Macquarie Credit Agreement provided for a $170.0 million term loan (the “Macquarie Term Loan”) and a $10.0 million Revolving Facility (the “Macquarie Revolving Facility”). The Macquarie Revolving Facility included up to $5.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company used proceeds from the Macquarie Term Loan to fund the acquisition of MTR, CCG and CCV (the “Acquired Casinos”), for the repayment of approximately $52.0 million outstanding under the BMO Credit Agreement and for general working capital and corporate purposes. In connection with the Goldman Credit Agreement, the Macquarie Term Loan was repaid on April 1, 2022 and the Macquarie Credit Agreement was terminated.

Commitment fees related to the Macquarie Revolving Facility of less than $0.1 million were recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino

CDR’s land lease is a financing obligation of the Company. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of its ownership interest in CDR, CDR sold a portion of the land on which the REC project is located and then entered into an agreement to lease back a portion of the land sold. The Company accounts for the lease using the financing method by accounting for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. Under the land lease, CDR has four options to purchase the land. The first option date is July 1, 2023. Due to the nature of the CDR land lease financing obligation, there are no principal payments due until the Company exercises its option to purchase the land. Lease payments are applied to interest only, and any change in the outstanding balance of the financing obligation relates to foreign currency translation. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance on the financing obligation was CAD 19.5 million ($14.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2022).

As of September 30, 2022, scheduled maturities related to long-term debt were as follows:

6.LONG-TERM FINANCING OBLIGATION

On December 6, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Tenant”) and certain subsidiaries of VICI PropCo (collectively, the “Landlord”) entered into the sale and leaseback transaction for the Acquired Casino properties. The Tenant entered into the Master Lease with the Landlord to lease the real estate assets of the Acquired Casinos. The Master Lease does not transfer control of the Acquired Casino properties to VICI PropCo subsidiaries.

Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, between Evitts and VICI PropCo Buyer, VICI PropCo Buyer agreed to acquire the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million. In connection with the Rocky Gap Acquisition, the Tenant and Landlord will enter into an amendment to the Master Lease to (i) add Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) provide for an initial annual rent for Rocky Gap of approximately $15.5 million and (iii) extend the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five year renewal options).

The Company accounts for the transaction as a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation. When cash proceeds are exchanged, a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation is equal to the proceeds received for the assets that are sold and then leased back. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligations recognized in this transaction was determined to be the fair value of the leased real estate assets. In subsequent periods, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease will be recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment reducing the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation using the effective interest method. The failed sale-leaseback obligations will not be reduced to less than the net book value of the leased real estate assets as of the end of the lease term, which is estimated to be $28.5 million.

The fair values of the real estate assets and the related failed sale-leaseback financing obligation were estimated based on the present value of the estimated future payments over the term plus renewal options of 35 years, using an imputed discount rate of approximately 10.6%. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation is dependent upon assumptions regarding the amount of the payments and the estimated discount rate of the payments required by a market participant.

The Master Lease provides for the lease of land, buildings, structures and other improvements on the land (including barges and riverboats), easements and similar appurtenances to the land and improvements relating to the operations of the leased properties. The Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years with no purchase option (which term will be extended for 15 years from the date of the Master Lease amendment). At the Company’s option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to four five year renewal terms beyond the initial 15 year term. The renewal terms are effective as to all, but not less than all, of the property then subject to the Master Lease. The Company does not have the ability to terminate its obligations under the Master Lease prior to its expiration without the Landlord’s consent.

The Master Lease has a triple-net structure, which requires the Tenant to pay substantially all costs associated with the Company’s Missouri and West Virginia properties, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and operating costs. The Master Lease contains certain covenants, including minimum capital improvement expenditures. The Company has provided a guarantee of the Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease.

The rent payable under the Master Lease is comprised of “Base Rent” and “Variable Rent”. Base rent is:

An initial annual rent (the “Rent”) of approximately $25.0 million.

The Rent will escalate at a rate of 1.01% for the 2^nd and 3^rd years and the greater of either 1.0125% (the “Base Rent Escalator”) or the increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for each year starting in the 4^th year and ending the 7^th year.

The Base Rent Escalator is subject to adjustment from and after the 6^th year if the Minimum Rent Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Master Lease) is not satisfied.

Beginning in the 8^th year of the lease term, Rent will be calculated as (i) 80% of the Rent for the 7^th lease year (“Base Rent”), subject to an annual Base Rent Escalator of the greater of 1.0125% or CPI subject to adjustment if the Minimum Rent Coverage Ratio is not satisfied, plus (ii) variable rent (“Variable Rent”) equal to 20% of the Rent for the 7^th lease year, plus or minus 4.0% of the change in average net revenue of the Acquired Casinos calculated as set forth in the Master Lease.

For the 11^th year and thereafter of the initial lease term, the Base Rent will escalate annually as set forth above and the Variable Rent will be recalculated as set forth in the Master Lease.

The estimated future payments include the payments and adjustments to reflect estimated payments as described in the Master Lease, including an annual escalator of up to 1.0125% and estimates based on contingent rental payments.

Total payments and interest expense related to the Master Lease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

7.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation – From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising from normal business operations. The Company does not expect the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

8.INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense or benefits are recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of ($8.1) million on pre-tax earnings of $8.6 million, representing an effective income tax rate of (94.1%) compared to income tax expense of $3.8 million on pre-tax earnings of $20.6 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 18.5% for the same period in 2021. The comparison of pre-tax earnings of $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to the pre-tax earnings of $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 should be considered when comparing effective tax rates for the respective periods.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company computed an annual effective tax rate using forecasted information. Based on current forecasts, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to be highly sensitive to changes in earnings. The Company concluded that computing its effective tax rate using forecasted information would be appropriate in estimating tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

A number of items caused the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to differ from the US federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, including taxation of global intangible low-tax income (GILTI) in the United States, a 23% statutory tax rate in Canada, certain nondeductible business expenses in Poland, and various exchange rate benefits. Furthermore, management has determined that there is significant positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in the United States will be realized. As a result, the valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets has been released, resulting in a $10.2 million income tax benefit recognized during 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for CMR, CRM and Century Resorts International Ltd.

Additionally, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $0.8 million, of which $0.7 million is due to the Company’s ability to utilize pre-acquisition net operating losses. Due to the lapse of statute of limitations related to the pre-acquisition net operating losses, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.2 million during 2022 and anticipates it will recognize a tax benefit of $0.5 million during 2023.

9.EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic earnings per share considers only weighted average outstanding common shares in the computation. The calculation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive stock options. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus, if dilutive, the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

	For the three months				For the nine months
	ended September 30,				ended September 30,
Amounts in thousands	2022		2021		2022		2021
Weighted average common shares, basic		29,864		29,598		29,790		29,584

Weighted average common shares, diluted		31,404		31,242		31,523		31,059

The following stock options are anti-dilutive and have not been included in the weighted average shares outstanding calculation:

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS REPORTING

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows fair value measurement authoritative accounting guidance for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. That authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market or observable inputs are the preferred sources of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The fair value hierarchy for grouping these assets and liabilities is based on the significance level of the following inputs:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

Level 3 – significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company reflects transfers between the three levels at the beginning of the reporting period in which the availability of observable inputs no longer justifies classification in the original level. There were no transfers between the three levels for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to its non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Long-Term Debt – The carrying value of the Goldman Credit Agreement, the UniCredit Term Loans and CPL’s short-term line of credit approximate fair value based on the variable interest paid on the obligations. The carrying value of the UniCredit Term Loan 2 approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the agreement. The estimated fair values of the outstanding balances under the Goldman Credit Agreement and UniCredit Term Loan 1 are designated as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices in active markets for similar liabilities. The carrying values of the Company’s finance lease obligations approximate fair value based on the similar terms and conditions currently available to the Company in the marketplace for similar financings.

Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements – The estimated fair value of the Company’s other assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, have been determined to approximate carrying value based on the short-term nature of those financial instruments. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.

For the majority of the Company’s contracts with customers, payment is made in advance of the services and contracts are settled on the same day the sale occurs with revenue recognized on the date of the sale. For contracts that are not settled, a contract liability is created. The expected duration of the performance obligation is less than one year.

23

The amount of revenue recognized that was included in the opening contract liability balance was $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. This revenue consists primarily of the Company’s deferred gaming revenue from player points earned through play at the Company’s casinos located in the United States. Activity in the Company’s receivables and contract liabilities is presented in the tables below.

Receivables are included in accounts receivable and contract liabilities are included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Substantially all of the Company’s contracts and contract liabilities have an original duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedient for such contracts and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue.

12.LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in each of the jurisdictions in which its subsidiaries operate to calculate the present value of lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company accounts for lease agreements with lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes. The Company does not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less.

The Company’s operating and finance leases include land, casino space, corporate offices, and gaming and other equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of one month to 15 years.

13.SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports its financial performance in three reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which its casinos operate: the United States, Canada and Poland. The Company views each market in which it operates as a separate operating segment and each casino or other operation within those markets as a reporting unit. Operating segments are aggregated within reportable segments based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. The Company’s operations related to its concession, management and consulting agreements and certain other corporate and management operations have not been identified as separate reportable segments; therefore, these operations are included in Corporate and Other in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The table below provides information about the aggregation of the Company’s reporting units and operating segments into reportable segments:

Reportable Segment	Operating Segment	Reporting Unit
United States	Colorado	Century Casino & Hotel - Central City
		Century Casino & Hotel - Cripple Creek
	West Virginia	Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort
	Missouri	Century Casino Cape Girardeau
		Century Casino Caruthersville
Canada	Edmonton	Century Casino & Hotel - Edmonton
		Century Casino St. Albert
		Century Mile Racetrack and Casino
	Calgary	Century Downs Racetrack and Casino
		Century Sports (1)
		Century Bets! Inc. (1)
Poland	Poland	Casinos Poland
Corporate and Other	Corporate and Other	Cruise Ships & Other
		Corporate Other (2)

(1)The Company operated Century Sports through February 10, 2022. The Company operated Century Bets! Inc. through August 2021, when operations were transferred to Century Mile. For more information about Century Sports and Century Bets! Inc., see Note 1.

(2)The Company’s equity investment in Smooth Bourbon is included in the Corporate Other reporting unit.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is a management function comprised of two individuals. These two individuals are the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers. The Company’s chief operating decision makers and management utilize Adjusted EBITDA as the primary profit measure for its reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-US GAAP measure defined as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interest earnings (loss) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, loss (gain) 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 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. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense is presented under Corporate and Other in the tables below as the expense is not allocated to reportable segments when reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers. 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.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Overview

Since our inception in 1992, we have been primarily engaged in developing and operating gaming establishments and related lodging, restaurant and entertainment facilities. Our primary source of revenue is from the net proceeds of our gaming machines and tables, with ancillary revenue generated from hotel, restaurant, horse racing (including off-track betting), sports betting, iGaming, bowling and entertainment facilities that are in most instances a part of the casinos.

We view each market in which we operate as a separate operating segment and each casino or other operation within those markets as a reporting unit. We aggregate all operating segments into three reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which our casinos operate: United States, Canada and Poland. We have additional business activities including concession agreements, management agreements, consulting agreements and certain other corporate and management operations that we report as Corporate and Other.

‎

The table below provides information about the aggregation of our operating segments and reporting units into reportable segments. The reporting units, except for Century Downs Racetrack and Casino and Casinos Poland, are owned, operated and managed through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our ownership and operation of Century Downs Racetrack and Casino and Casinos Poland are discussed below. The real estate assets at our West Virginia and Missouri operating segments are owned by VICI PropCo and leased to us under the Master Lease. The land on which the REC and racetracks at Century Downs and Century Mile are located is leased.

(1)We operated Century Sports through February 10, 2022. We operated Century Bets! Inc. through August 2021, when operations were transferred to Century Mile. For more information about Century Sports and Century Bets! Inc., see Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

(2)Our equity investment in Smooth Bourbon is included in the Corporate Other reporting unit.

In September 2021, we transferred operation of the southern Alberta pari-mutuel network from Century Bets! to CMR. CMR now operates both the northern and southern Alberta pari-mutuel off-track betting networks. Prior to September 2021, Century Bets! was included in the Calgary operating segment.

On February 10, 2022, we sold the land and building we owned in Calgary, transferred the lease agreement for the casino premises to the buyer and ceased operating Century Sports, a sports bar, bowling and entertainment facility located on the property. Prior to the sale, Century Sports was included in the Calgary operating segment.

We have controlling financial interests through our subsidiary CRM in the following reporting units:

We have a 66.6% ownership interest in CPL and we consolidate CPL as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports owns the remaining 33.3% of CPL. We account for and report the 33.3% Polish Airports ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. CPL has been in operation since 1989. As of September 30, 2022, CPL owned and operated eight casinos throughout Poland. The following table summarizes information about CPL’s casinos as of September 30, 2022.

City	Location	License Expiration	Number of Slots	Number of Tables
Warsaw	Marriott Hotel	September 2028	70	37
Warsaw	Hilton Hotel	July 2024	69	24
Warsaw	LIM Center	June 2025	65	4
Bielsko-Biala	Hotel President	October 2023	51	5

Krakow	Dwor Kosciuszko Hotel	May 2024	70	5
Lodz	Manufaktura Entertainment Complex	June 2024	70	10

In September 2022, CPL transferred the casino license for the Warsaw Marriott Hotel expiring in July 2024 to the Warsaw Hilton Hotel, and CPL was granted a new license for the Warsaw Marriott Hotel expiring in September 2028.

31

Casino licenses are granted for six years. When a casino license expires, the Polish Minister of Finance notifies the public of its availability, and interested parties can submit an application for the casino license. Following approval of a casino license by the Minister of Finance, there is a period in which applicants can appeal the decision.

We have a 75% ownership interest in CDR, and we consolidate CDR as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. We account for and report the remaining 25% ownership interest in CDR as a non-controlling financial interest. CDR operates Century Downs Racetrack and Casino, a REC in Balzac, a north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. CDR is the only horse racetrack in the Calgary area and is located less than one-mile north of the city limits of Calgary and 4.5 miles from the Calgary International Airport.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary Century Nevada Acquisition, Inc., we have a 50% equity interest in PropCo. We report this interest as an equity investment.

We also have a concession agreement for one ship-based casino and had ownership in and a consulting agreement with MCE, which are detailed further under “Corporate and Other” below.

Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our results of operations in the first half of 2021 because of closures of our Canada and Poland properties during this period. Our casinos varied their operations based on the governmental health and safety requirements in the jurisdictions in which they are located. Currently our operations have no health and safety requirements for entry and few COVID-19 related restrictions.

We estimate that net operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was adversely impacted by approximately $35.9 million, and that Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was adversely impacted by approximately $13.1 million due to the closures. See “Discussion of Results” below for a discussion of the impact of the closures in the Canada and Poland reportable segments.

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic otherwise remains uncertain. We cannot predict the negative impacts that COVID-19 will have on our consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had a material impact on us. The effects of COVID-19, ongoing governmental health and safety requirements and any future closures could have a material impact on us. We will continue to monitor our liquidity and make reductions to marketing and operating expenditures, where possible, if future government mandates or closures are required that would have an adverse impact on us.

Other Projects and Developments

Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Flintstone, Maryland

On August 24, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with Lakes Maryland, Golden, and VICI PropCo, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the operations of Rocky Gap for approximately $56.1 million subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, by and between Evitts and VICI PropCo Buyer, VICI PropCo Buyer agreed to acquire the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million, subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. In connection with the closing of this transaction, one of our subsidiaries and a subsidiary of VICI PropCo will enter into an amendment to the Master Lease to (i) add Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) provide for an initial annual rent for Rocky Gap of approximately $15.5 million, and (iii) extend the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five-year renewal options).

Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada

On February 22, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with Marnell, pursuant to which we, through a newly formed subsidiary, (i) purchased from Marnell 50% of the membership interests in PropCo, and (ii) will purchase 100% of the membership interests in OpCo. OpCo owns and operates the Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada, and PropCo owns the real property on which the casino is located.

We purchased 50% of the membership interests in PropCo for approximately $95.0 million at the first closing on April 1, 2022. We used approximately $29.3 million of cash on hand in connection with the First Closing. Subject to approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission, our purchase of 100% of the membership interests in OpCo for approximately $100.0 million (subject to certain adjustments) is expected to close within one year after the First Closing. Following the Second Closing, we will own the operating assets of Nugget Casino Resort and 50% of the membership interests in PropCo. We also have a five-year option to acquire the remaining 50% of the membership interests in PropCo for $105.0 million plus 2% per annum. At the First Closing, PropCo entered into a lease with OpCo for an annual rent of $15.0 million.

Caruthersville Land-Based Casino

In July 2021, the Missouri law requiring each casino to be a floating facility was amended to allow casino facilities to be built as a standard building with a container with at least 2,000 gallons of water beneath the facility. A lawsuit was filed by the City of St. Louis to block the implementation of the omnibus bill that included the amendment to the definition of a floating facility. In June 2022, the Missouri governor signed a standalone bill to amend the definition of a floating facility. This legislation provides an opportunity for Century Casino Caruthersville, the last remaining riverboat casino on open water in Missouri, to move to a non-floating facility. We plan to move the casino from the riverboat to a new land-based casino with a small hotel. We estimate the project will cost $51.9 million. Construction started in October 2022 with completion expected in the second half of 2024. We plan to finance the cost of this project with a combination of financing and cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022, we have spent $2.1 million on this project.

Recent Developments Related to Century Casino Caruthersville

On October 26, 2022, the MGC approved the relocation of the casino at Century Casino Caruthersville from the riverboat and the barge to a land-based pavilion until the new land-based casino and hotel are completed. On October 13, 2022, the riverboat, which had operated since 1994, had to be closed as it was no longer accessible from the barge because of the record low water levels in the Mississippi River. Since then, Caruthersville has operated the casino from the barge with 299 slot machines and four table games. The pavilion building will not be affected by water levels and is protected by a flood wall. The pavilion will provide for easier access to the casino for customers and we anticipate it will bring operating efficiencies and cost savings. The casino will be smaller with approximately 400 slot machines and seven table games, compared to 519 slot machines and seven table games on the riverboat and barge. Caruthersville will continue to operate from the barge until the move to the pavilion is complete. We anticipate the move to the pavilion will be completed by the end of 2022 and that there will be no negative impact on results of operations thereafter.

Caruthersville Hotel

In July 2021, we announced that we had purchased land and a small two-story hotel near Century Casino Caruthersville with plans to refurbish the existing hotel’s 36 rooms. The hotel opened on October 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we have spent $2.7 million on this project and estimate an additional $1.0 million will be spent in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Cape Girardeau Hotel

We plan to build a hotel at our Cape Girardeau location. The hotel is planned as a six-story building with 68,000 square feet that will be adjacent to and connected with the existing casino building. The hotel project has been approved by the City of Cape Girardeau. Additional state and local approvals from other agencies will also be required. Planning, design and preparations for the project are substantially complete. Construction on this project began in September 2022 and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. We estimate the project will cost $30.5 million, and we plan to finance this cost with cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022, we have spent $1.4 million on this project.

Additional Gaming Projects

We currently are exploring additional potential gaming projects and acquisition opportunities. Along with the capital needs of potential projects, there are various other risks which, if they materialize, could affect our ability to complete a proposed project or acquisition or could eliminate its feasibility altogether.

We recognize in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from the translation of casino operations and other transactions that are denominated in a currency other than US dollars. Our casinos in Canada and Poland represent a significant portion of our business, and the revenue generated and expenses incurred by these operations are generally denominated in Canadian dollars and Polish zloty. A decrease in the value of these currencies in relation to the value of the US dollar would decrease the earnings from our foreign operations when translated into US dollars. An increase in the value of these currencies in relation to the value of the US dollar would increase the earnings from our foreign operations when translated into US dollars.

Items impacting comparability of the results include the following:

COVID-19 – Closures of our Canada and Poland properties due to COVID-19 had a negative impact on our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See “Executive Overview-Recent Developments Related to COVID-19” above for details regarding the closures.

Calgary – In February 2022, we sold the land and building that we owned in Calgary for CAD 8.0 million ($6.3 million based on the exchange rate on February 10, 2022). We recorded a loss on the sale of the land and building of CAD 2.7 million ($2.2 million based on the average exchange rate for the month ended February 28, 2022).

Deferred Financing – We wrote-off approximately $7.3 million of deferred financing costs to interest expense in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the prepayment of the Macquarie Term Loan.

Inflation – We have seen operating expenses, such as utilities, maintenance costs and food and beverage costs, increase at our properties but the increases have not been material to date. We are starting to see an impact on customer visits at some of our properties in the third and fourth quarter believed to be from economic and inflationary factors, but the decreases have not been material to date.

34

Staffing – We have experienced difficulties attracting and retaining staff at some locations in the US and Canada. As a result, we have had to adjust hours of some food and beverage outlets, the number of table games open and the number of rooms available at some of our hotels. We have been able to make adjustments during non-peak times and have not seen a material impact to our operating results.

Valuation Allowance – We released a $10.2 million US valuation allowance, resulting in an income tax benefit of $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We recorded income tax expense of $6.8 million in the United States reportable segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The income tax expense reflects the full nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Pari-Mutuel

Pari-mutuel revenue includes live racing, export, advanced deposit wagering and off-track betting. Pari-mutuel expense relate to the revenue above and the operation of our racetracks.

Non-US GAAP Measures – Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interest earnings (losses) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, loss (gain) 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 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. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense is presented under Corporate and Other in the tables below as the expense is not allocated to reportable segments when reviewed by our chief operating decision makers. 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“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 evaluate and forecast the operating performance of the Company and its properties as well as to compare results of current periods to prior periods. Management believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA to investors provides them with information used by management for financial and operational decision-making in order to understand the Company’s operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. Management believes that using Adjusted EBITDA is a useful way to compare the relative operating performance of separate reportable segments 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. Our 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.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders is presented below.

Non-US GAAP Measures – Net Debt

We define Net Debt as total long-term debt (including current portion) plus deferred financing costs minus cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt is not considered a liquidity measure recognized under US GAAP. Management believes that Net Debt is a valuable measure of our overall financial situation. Net Debt provides investors with an indication of our ability to pay off all of our long-term debt if it became due simultaneously. The reconciliation of Net Debt is presented below.

Sports wagering in Colorado became legal on May 1, 2020. We have partnered with sports betting operators that will conduct sports wagering under each of the three Colorado master licenses for sports wagering held by our Colorado subsidiaries. One of these mobile sports betting apps launched in July 2020, a second launched in August 2021, and the third sports betting app launched in September 2022. Each agreement with the sports betting operators provides for a share of net gaming revenue and a minimum revenue guarantee each year.

New table games and unlimited betting began in May 2021 in Colorado.

In December 2020, we entered into an agreement with an iGaming partner to utilize our license with the state of West Virginia to operate an internet and mobile interactive gaming application. The iGaming app launched in April 2021. The agreement provides for a share of net gaming revenue.

We recorded income tax expense of $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 due to the release of the US valuation allowance. The income tax expense reflects the full nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Colorado – Gaming revenue at Cripple Creek and Central City increased by $0.8 million, or 7.1%, primarily due to increased slot revenue at both properties. In addition, at Central City food and beverage revenue increased by $0.1 million, or 33.1%, primarily due to increased customer visits. COVID-19 restrictions were lifted on restaurants during the third quarter of 2021, but we saw a slow increase in visits during 2021. Operating expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 7.9%, due to increased payroll costs and gaming-related expenses.

West Virginia – Net operating revenue decreased due to decreased gaming revenue of ($2.3) million, or (9.2%), due to lower customer volumes believed to be from economic and inflationary factors. The decreased gaming revenue was offset by increased revenue in all other revenue categories due to the lack of COVID-19 restrictions in 2022. Operating expenses decreased by ($0.8) million, or (3.1%), due to decreased payroll costs and gaming-related expenses.

Missouri – Gaming revenue at Caruthersville and Cape Girardeau decreased by ($2.9) million, or (10.0%), due to lower customer volumes believed to be from economic and inflationary factors and decreased table game offerings due to staffing issues. Operating expenses at Caruthersville decreased by ($0.1) million, or (0.6%), due to decreased gaming-related expenses offset by increased payroll costs and expenses related to low water levels in the Mississippi River beginning in August 2022.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

2021 COVID-19 Restrictions

Colorado – Table games were closed in January 2021 at both properties. In Central City, there were restrictions on the number of slot machines open during the first quarter of 2021 with approximately 66% of the slot floor open due to a county variance requiring every other machine to be powered off.

West Virginia – During the first quarter of 2021, approximately 85% of the gaming floor was open with machines limited to six feet apart or with barriers, casino hours of operation were reduced and there were capacity restrictions within the casino. In addition, during the first quarter of 2021, food and beverage outlets were operating with reduced hours and capacity, the hotel was operating at reduced capacity and the convention spaces were closed.

Missouri – During the first quarter of 2021, the casinos were operating with reduced hours, and there were state-wide smoking restrictions through May 2021. During the first and second quarters of 2021, gaming revenue was positively impacted by federal stimulus payments.

2022 Results – Our United States properties operated with very few COVID-19 restrictions. We continue to adjust the operation of amenities at our properties based on staffing and varying levels of demand.

Colorado – The increase in net operating revenue was primarily due to a second sports betting app that launched in August 2021 and a third sports betting app that launched in September 2022. Gaming revenue increased by $0.9 million, or 2.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to increased revenue in the third quarter of 2022. Colorado’s operating costs and expenses have increased due to increased payroll resulting from table game operations, no restrictions on food and beverage outlets as well as increased gaming-related expenses.

West Virginia – Net operating revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 0.1%, due to increased revenue in all categories due to the lack of COVID-19 restrictions in 2022. These increases were offset by decreased gaming revenue in the third quarter due to lower customer volumes believed to be from economic and inflationary factors. West Virginia’s operating costs and expenses have increased due to gaming-related expenses, marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, offset by decreased payroll costs. In March 2022, weekend operating hours increased to 24 hours per day.

Missouri – Gaming revenue decreased ($10.3) million, or (11.2%), compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in gaming revenue was due to the positive impact of the stimulus payments in 2021 as well as the third quarter of 2022 decreases due to lower customer volumes believed to be from economic and inflationary factors and decreased table game offerings due to staffing issues. Operating costs and expenses decreased due to decreased gaming-related expenses offset by minimum wage increases in Missouri and expenses at Caruthersville related to low water levels in the Mississippi River beginning in August 2022

We continue to follow any government and local health board mandates related to COVID-19 and will adjust operations if there are any future COVID-19 related impacts.

In February 2022, we sold the land and building we owned in Calgary, transferred the lease agreement for the casino premises to the buyer and ceased operating Century Sports, which impacts comparability of the Calgary operating segment in 2022.

Net operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was impacted negatively by closures due to COVID-19 as detailed in the tables above.

First and Second Quarter 2021 – During the first five months of 2021, our revenue in the Canada segment was primarily from advance deposit wagering on horse races. In March 2021, we reopened some restaurants within our casinos. We reopened our casinos on June 10, 2021. Operating expenses were reduced by wage subsidies provided by the Canadian government through the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) that was enacted in April 2020 as a result of COVID-19 to help employers offset a portion of their employee wages for a limited period. During the first six months of 2021, the qualified government wage subsidies reduced operating expenses by CAD 2.7 million ($2.2 million based on the average exchange rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021).

During the Canadian closures, we suspended marketing initiatives, furloughed employees and reduced operating costs and expenses as much as possible. We believe that we have captured operating synergies, labor savings and cost savings following the reopening of our Canada properties in June 2021.

First and Second Quarter 2022 – Through early February 2022, we required customers to provide proof of vaccination, a negative rapid test result or an original medical exception letter for entry to comply with a government mandate. In accordance with a government mandate, all customers and employees were required to wear masks while indoors through early March 2022. Since the lifting of these restrictions, we have seen a positive impact in the number of customers coming to our casinos and in operating results.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, operating expenses were reduced by CAD 0.4 million ($0.3 million based on the average exchange rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021) due to wage subsidies provided by the Canadian government through CEWS.

In CAD	In USD

The gaming floor fully reopened in the third quarter of 2021, and there was a post-COVID increase in revenue that has since leveled off. Decreased gaming revenue was offset by increased hotel and food and beverage revenue. Restaurants and hotels were still operating with COVID-19 restrictions in the third quarter of 2021. Operating costs and expenses increased by CAD 0.6 million, or 17.5%, due to increased payroll costs and general and administrative expenses.

Century Downs – Net operating revenue increased CAD 0.3 million, or 3.7%, primarily due to increased food and beverage revenue. The increased food and beverage revenue was due to restaurants still operating under COVID-19 restrictions in the third quarter of 2021. Operating costs and expenses increased by CAD 1.5 million, or 38.9%, due to increased payroll costs, marketing expenses and general and administrative fees. Operating costs and expenses also increased due to hosting the World Professional Chuckwagon Association World Finals in the third quarter of 2022.

In Poland, casino gaming licenses are granted for a term of six years. These licenses are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires, there is a public notification of the available license and any gaming company can apply for a new license for that city. CPL was awarded a casino gaming license in the Warsaw market which it is currently using at the casino in the Warsaw Marriott. In September 2022, CPL transferred the casino license for the Warsaw Marriott Hotel expiring in July 2024 to the Warsaw Hilton Hotel, and CPL was granted a new license for the Warsaw Marriott Hotel expiring in September 2028. The next license expiration for a CPL casino occurs in October 2023 in Bielsko-Biala and Katowice and November 2023 in Wroclaw.

First and Second Quarter 2021 – Net operating revenue was negatively impacted by temporary closures and reduced tourism in Warsaw due to COVID-19. The casinos in Poland reopened on May 28, 2021. During the closures of our Poland casinos, we reduced operating costs and expenses as much as possible.

First and Second Quarter 2022 – Travel and hotel occupancy in Poland have increased since most COVID-19 travel restrictions have been lifted. We have not seen a material negative impact on our operations as a result of the war in Ukraine. Although Poland borders Ukraine, our casinos are not located near the border. However, continued conflict in that region could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

In PLN	In USD
Net operating revenue increased by PLN 20.3 million, or 24.8%, due primarily to increased gaming revenue. Gaming revenue increased as COVID-19 travel restrictions lessened.

Net operating revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 2.8%. Operating costs and expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 3.4%.

We continue to follow any government and local health board mandates related to COVID-19 and will adjust operations if there are any future COVID-19 related impacts.

Interest income

Interest income is directly related to interest earned on our cash reserves and the Acquisition Escrow.

Interest expense

Interest expense is directly related to interest owed on our borrowings under our Goldman Credit Agreement, Macquarie Credit Agreement, our financing obligation with VICI PropCo, our CPL and CRM borrowings, our capital lease agreements and interest expense related to the CDR land lease. We wrote off approximately $7.3 million of deferred financing costs to interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in connection with the prepayment of the Macquarie Term Loan.

Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other

Cost recovery income of $1.9 million was received by CDR for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to infrastructure built during the development of the Century Downs REC project.

Cost recovery income of $0.7 million was received by CDR for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Taxes

Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized income tax benefit of ($8.1) million on pre-tax income of $8.6 million, representing an effective income tax rate of (94.1%), compared to income tax expense of $3.8 million on pre-tax income of $20.6 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 18.5% for the same period in 2021. For further discussion of our effective income tax rates and an analysis of our effective income tax rate compared to the US federal statutory income tax rate, see Note 8, “Income Taxes,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our business is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our casinos to generate operating cash flow. We use the cash flows that we generate to maintain operations, fund reinvestment in existing properties for both refurbishment and expansion projects, repay third party debt, and pursue additional growth via new development and acquisition opportunities. When necessary and available, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with either cash on hand or funds provided by bank borrowings or other debt or equity financing activities.

Cash Flows – Summary

Our cash flows; cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash; and working capital consisted of the following:

	For the nine months
	ended September 30,
Amounts in thousands	2022		2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	36,688	$	48,681
Net cash used in investing activities		(100,892)		(7,373)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		158,443		(3,327)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (1)	$	199,499	$	101,182
Working capital (2)	$	65,181	$	69,506

(1)Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 includes $100.1 million related to the Acquisition Escrow.

(2)Working capital is defined as current assets, excluding restricted cash, minus current liabilities.

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operations have historically been positive and sufficient to fund ordinary operations. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in earnings from operations, excluding non-cash charges. Please refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and to management’s discussion of the results of operations above in this Item 2 for a discussion of earnings from operations.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of $95.0 million for the purchase of the 50% equity interest in Smooth Bourbon, $0.4 million for the purchase of a casino license in Poland, $1.6 million for slot machine purchases, $0.2 million in gaming-related purchases, $0.1 million for outdoor pool and patio furniture and $0.1 million for hotel carpet in West Virginia, $0.9 million for our hotel remodel in Cape Girardeau, $1.3 million for our casino project in Caruthersville, $1.9 million for our stand-alone hotel project in Caruthersville, $1.5 million for slot machine purchases at our Missouri properties, $0.4 million for slot machine purchases, $0.2 million in gaming-related purchases and $0.2 million in camera upgrades at our Colorado properties, $0.6 million for employee housing in Cripple Creek, $0.7 million in slot machine and table game purchases in Poland, $0.2 million for carpet at Century Downs and $3.0 million in other fixed asset additions at our properties, offset by $6.3 million in proceeds from the sale of the land and building in Calgary, $1.0 million in dividends from Smooth Bourbon and $0.1 million in proceeds from the disposition of assets.

Borrowings and Repayments of Long-Term Debt and Lease Agreements

As of September 30, 2022, our total debt under bank borrowings and other agreements net of $17.5 million related to deferred financing costs was $349.8 million, of which $344.4 million was long-term debt and $5.3 million was the current portion of long-term debt. The current portion relates to payments due within one year under our Goldman Credit Agreement and the UniCredit Term Loans. On April 1, 2022, we entered into the Goldman Credit Agreement which provides for a $350.0 million term loan and a $30.0 million revolving line of credit. We drew the $350.0 million under the Goldman Term Loan on April 1, 2022 and used the proceeds as well as approximately $29.3 million of cash on hand to fund the PropCo Acquisition, repay the $166.2 million outstanding on the Macquarie Credit Agreement, fund $100.0 million of Acquisition Escrow for the Nugget Acquisition and for related fees and expenses. For a description of our debt agreements, see Note 5, “Long-Term Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Net Debt was $268.0 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $89.8 million as of September 30, 2021. The increase in Net Debt was primarily due to a $167.3 million increase in long-term debt. For the definition and reconciliation of Net Debt to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure, see “Non-US GAAP Measures – Net Debt” above.

The following table lists the amount of remaining 2022 maturities of our debt:

Amounts in thousands
Goldman Credit Agreement (1)		UniCredit Term Loans		Century Downs ‎Land Lease		Total
$	875	$	464	$	—	$	1,339

(1)The Term Loan under the Goldman Credit Agreement requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000, equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity.

The following table lists the amount of remaining 2022 payments due under our operating and finance lease agreements and our Master Lease:

Amounts in thousands
Operating Leases		Finance Leases		Master Lease
$	1,215	$	49	$	4,250

Common Stock Repurchase Program

Since March 2000, we have had a discretionary program to repurchase our outstanding common stock. The total amount remaining under the repurchase program was $14.7 million as of September 30, 2022. We did not repurchase any common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date.

Potential Sources of Liquidity and Short-Term Liquidity

Historically, our primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been cash flow from operations. As of September 30, 2022, we had $99.3 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $107.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2021. We also have $100.1 million of restricted cash in the Acquisition Escrow to fund the purchase price for the OpCo Acquisition. When necessary and available, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with funds provided by bank borrowings or other debt or equity financing activities. As of September 30, 2022, we had $30.0 million available on our Revolving Facility. In addition, we have generated cash from sales of existing casino operations and proceeds from the issuance of equity securities upon the exercise of stock options.

Impact of COVID-19

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. We cannot predict the negative impacts that COVID-19 will have on our consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners, and, whether future closures will be required. While the severity and duration of such business impacts cannot currently be estimated, the effects of COVID-19, governmental health and safety requirements and any future closures are expected to have a material impact on our business. We will continue to monitor our liquidity and make reductions to marketing and operating expenditures, where possible, if future government mandates or closures are required that would have an adverse impact on us.

Planned Projects, the Nugget Acquisition, the Rocky Gap Acquisition and Sources of Liquidity

Planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2022 include approximately $1.7 million in gaming equipment, renovations to various properties and security system upgrades. We refurbished a hotel near Century Casino Caruthersville that opened on October 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we have spent $2.7 million on this project and estimate an additional $1.0 million will be spent in the fourth quarter of 2022. We funded this project with cash on hand. We plan to move our Century Casino Caruthersville riverboat casino to a new land-based casino with a small hotel adjacent to and connected with the existing building. Construction began in October 2022 with completion expected in the second half of 2024. We estimate this project will cost $51.9 million and we plan to fund the cost of this project with a combination of financing and cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022, we have spent approximately $2.1 million on this project and estimate $2.5 million of capital expenditures related to this project in the fourth quarter of 2022. We plan to build a hotel at our Cape Girardeau location. Planning, design and preparations for the project are substantially complete. Construction began in September 2022 and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. We estimate this project will cost approximately $30.5 million and we plan to fund the project with cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022, we have spent approximately $1.4 million on this project and estimate $2.9 million of capital expenditures related to this project in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In February 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase (i) 50% of the membership interests in PropCo, and (ii) 100% of the membership interests of OpCo. OpCo owns and operates the Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada, and PropCo owns the real property on which the casino is located. At the First Closing, on April 1, 2022, we purchased 50% of the membership interests in PropCo for approximately $95.0 million and PropCo entered into a lease with OpCo for an annual rent of $15.0 million. We used approximately $29.3 million of cash on hand in connection with the First Closing. Subject to approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission, our purchase of 100% of the membership interests in OpCo for approximately $100.0 million (subject to certain adjustments) is expected to close within one year after the First Closing, at which point we will own the operating assets of Nugget Casino Resort and 50% of the membership interests in PropCo. We also have a five-year option to acquire the remaining 50% of the membership interests in PropCo for $105.0 million plus 2% per annum.

As stated above, in connection with the Nugget Acquisition we have entered into the Goldman Credit Agreement for (i) $350.0 million in senior secured term loan debt financing to refinance our existing debt under the Macquarie Credit Agreement, fund the Nugget Acquisition, and to pay related expenses, and (ii) a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The purchase price for the OpCo Acquisition will be paid from $100.0 million of proceeds of the Goldman Term Loan that were borrowed and deposited in the Acquisition Escrow on the First Closing date. Based on our current interest and Term Loan payment requirements under the Goldman Credit Agreement, we expect that our annual debt service payments will increase by $19.2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

On August 24, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with Lakes Maryland, Golden, and VICI PropCo, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the operations of Rocky Gap for approximately $56.1 million subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, by and between Evitts and an affiliate of VICI PropCo, VICI PropCo agreed to acquire the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million, subject to the conditions and terms set forth therein. In connection with the closing of this transaction, one of our subsidiaries and a subsidiary of VICI PropCo will enter into an amendment the Master Lease to (i) add Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) provide for an initial annual rent for Rocky Gap of approximately $15.5 million, and (iii) extend the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five-year renewal options). We plan to fund the acquisition with cash on hand.

We may be required to raise additional capital to address our liquidity and capital needs. We have a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective in July 2020 under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and other securities.

If necessary, we may seek to obtain further term loans, mortgages or lines of credit with commercial banks or other debt or equity financings to supplement our working capital and investing requirements. Our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects and our credit ratings. A financing transaction may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and a financing transaction may be dilutive to our current stockholders. The failure to raise the funds necessary to fund our debt service and rent obligations and finance our operations and other capital requirements could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity. 

50

In addition, we expect our US domestic cash resources will be sufficient to fund our US operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities. While we currently do not have an intent nor foresee a need to repatriate funds, we could require more capital in the US than is generated by our US operations for operations, capital expenditures or significant discretionary activities such as acquisitions of businesses and share repurchases. If so, we could elect to repatriate earnings from foreign jurisdictions in the form of a cash dividend, which would generally be exempt from taxation with the exception of the adverse impact of withholding taxes. We also could elect to raise capital in the US through debt or equity issuances. We estimate that approximately $34.4 million of our total $99.3 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2022 is held by our foreign subsidiaries and is not available to fund US operations unless repatriated.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We had no material changes in our exposure to market risks from that previously reported in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, for the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officers and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting –There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In March 2000, our board of directors approved a discretionary program to repurchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In November 2009, our board of directors approved an increase of the amount available to be repurchased under the program to $15.0 million. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date and had approximately $14.7 million remaining as of September 30, 2022. There were no repurchases of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Description Of Business And Basis Of Presentation

1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Century Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) is a casino entertainment company with operations primarily in North America. The Company’s operations as of September 30, 2022 are detailed below.

The Company owns, operates and manages the following casinos through wholly-owned subsidiaries in North America:

The Century Casino & Hotel in Central City, Colorado (“CTL”)

The Century Casino & Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado (“CRC”)

Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort in New Cumberland, West Virginia (“Mountaineer” or “MTR”) ⁽¹⁾

The Century Casino Cape Girardeau, Missouri (“Cape Girardeau” or “CCG”) ⁽¹⁾

The Century Casino Caruthersville, Missouri (“Caruthersville” or “CCV”) ⁽¹⁾

The Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (“Century Resorts Alberta” or “CRA”)

The Century Casino St. Albert in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (“CSA”); and

Century Mile Racetrack and Casino in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (“CMR” or “Century Mile”) ⁽²⁾

(1)Subsidiaries of VICI Properties Inc. (“VICI”) own the real estate assets underlying these properties.

(2)CMR leases the land on which CMR’s racing and entertainment centre (“REC”) and racetrack are located.

On February 10, 2022, the Company sold the land and building in Calgary, transferred the lease agreement for the casino premises to the buyer, and ceased operating Century Sports, a sports bar, bowling and entertainment facility located on the property. See below in this Note 1 for additional information about the Calgary property.

Through August 2021, the Company operated the pari-mutuel off-track betting network in southern Alberta, Canada through Century Bets! Inc. (“CBS” or “Century Bets”). In September 2021, the Company transferred these contracts to Century Mile.

The Company’s Colorado and West Virginia subsidiaries have partnered with sports betting and iGaming operators to offer sports wagering and online betting through mobile apps.

The Company has a controlling financial interest through its wholly-owned subsidiary Century Resorts Management GmbH (“CRM”) in the following majority-owned subsidiaries:

The Company owns 66.6% of Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL” or “Casinos Poland”). As of September 30, 2022, CPL owned and operated eight casinos throughout Poland. CPL is consolidated as a majority-owned subsidiary for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports Company (“Polish Airports”) owns the remaining 33.3% of CPL, which is reported as a non-controlling financial interest.

The Company owns 75% of United Horsemen of Alberta Inc. dba Century Downs Racetrack and Casino (“CDR” or “Century Downs”). CDR operates Century Downs Racetrack and Casino, a REC in Balzac, a north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. CDR is consolidated as a majority-owned subsidiary for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The remaining 25% of CDR is owned by unaffiliated shareholders and is reported as a non-controlling financial interest.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Century Nevada Acquisition, Inc., the Company has a 50% equity interest in Smooth Bourbon, LLC (“PropCo” or “Smooth Bourbon”). The Company reports this interest as an equity investment.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a concession agreement with TUI Cruises for one ship-based casino that ends in the second quarter of 2023. The table below illustrates the ships operating during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Company’s results of operations in the first half of 2021 because of closures at the Company’s Canada and Poland properties during this period. The table below provides a summary of the time periods in which the Company’s casinos, hotels and other facilities were closed in December 2020 and during 2021 to comply with quarantines issued by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Company’s casinos have varied their operations based on the governmental health and safety requirements in the jurisdictions in which they are located. Currently the Company’s operations are open and have no health and safety requirements for entry and few COVID-19 related restrictions.

Operating Segment	Closure Date	Reopen Date
Edmonton	December 13, 2020	June 10, 2021
Calgary	December 13, 2020	June 10, 2021
Poland	December 29, 2020	February 12, 2021
	March 20, 2021	May 28, 2021

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. The Company cannot predict the negative impacts that COVID-19 will have on its consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The effects of COVID-19, ongoing governmental health and safety requirements and any future closures could have a material impact on the Company. The Company will continue to monitor its liquidity and make reductions to marketing and operating expenditures, where possible, if future government mandates or closures are required that would have an adverse impact on the Company.

Other Projects and Developments

Caruthersville Land-Based Casino and Hotel

In July 2021, the Missouri law requiring each casino to be a floating facility was amended to allow casino facilities to be built as a standard building with a container with at least 2,000 gallons of water beneath the facility. Subsequently, a lawsuit was filed by the City of St. Louis that seeks to block the implementation of the omnibus bill that included the amendment to the definition of a floating facility. In June 2022, the Missouri governor signed a standalone bill to amend the definition of a floating facility. This change provides an opportunity for Century Casino Caruthersville, the last remaining riverboat casino on open water in Missouri, to move to a non-floating facility. The Company plans to move the casino from the riverboat to a new land-based casino with a small hotel adjacent to and connected with the existing building. Construction on the project began in October 2022, and it is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024 with an estimated project cost of $51.9 million. The Company plans to finance the cost of this project with a combination of financing and cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has spent $2.1 million on this project.

Recent Developments Related to Century Casino Caruthersville

On October 26, 2022, the Missouri Gaming Commission (“MGC”) approved the relocation of the casino at Century Casino Caruthersville from the riverboat and the barge to a land-based pavilion until the new land-based casino and hotel are completed. On October 13, 2022, the riverboat, which had operated since 1994, had to be closed as it was no longer accessible from the barge because of the record low water levels in the Mississippi River. Since then, Caruthersville has operated the casino from the barge with 299 slot machines and four table games. The pavilion building will not be affected by water levels and is protected by a flood wall. The pavilion will provide for easier access to the casino for customers and the Company anticipates it will bring operating efficiencies and cost savings. The casino will be smaller with approximately 400 slot machines and seven table games, compared to 519 slot machines and seven table games on the riverboat and barge. Caruthersville will continue to operate from the barge until the move to the pavilion is complete. The Company anticipates the move to the pavilion will be completed by the end of 2022 and that there will be no negative impact on results of operations thereafter.

Caruthersville Hotel

In July 2021, the Company announced that it had purchased land and a small two-story hotel near Century Casino Caruthersville with plans to refurbish the existing hotel’s 36 rooms. The Company opened the hotel on October 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has spent $2.7 million on this project and estimates an additional $1.0 million will be spent in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Cape Girardeau Hotel

The Company is building a hotel at its Cape Girardeau location. The hotel is planned as a six story building with 68,000 square feet that will be adjacent to and connected with the existing casino building. The hotel project has been approved by the City of Cape Girardeau. Additional state and local approvals from other agencies will also be required. Planning, design and preparations for the project are substantially complete. Construction on the project began in September 2022, and it is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. The Company estimates a project cost of approximately $30.5 million. The Company is financing the project with cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has spent $1.4 million on this project.

Terminated Projects

Century Sports

In August 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell the casino operations of Century Casino Calgary for CAD 10.0 million ($7.5 million based on the exchange rate on August 5, 2020) plus a three year quarterly earn out as specified in the agreement. The transaction closed on December 1, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company paid CAD 0.1 million ($0.1 million based on the exchange rate on February 12, 2021) in working capital adjustments under the purchase agreement. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company entered into a three year lease agreement with the purchaser of the casino operations for annual net rent for the land and building of CAD 0.5 million ($0.4 million based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2022).

After the sale, the Company continued to operate Century Sports, and to own the underlying real estate. On February 10, 2022, the Company sold the land and building in Calgary for CAD 8.0 million ($6.3 million based on the exchange rate on February 10, 2022) at which time the Company transferred the lease agreement for the casino premises to the buyer and ceased operating Century Sports. As of December 31, 2021, the assets held for sale included $4.8 million in land and $3.6 million in buildings and improvements, net of accumulated depreciation. Century Sports was included in the Canada reportable segment.

Mendoza Central Entretenimientos S.A.

The Company, through its subsidiary CRM, had a 7.5% ownership interest in Mendoza Central Entretenimientos S.A, an Argentina company (“MCE”), which leases slot machines and provides related services to Casino de Mendoza, a casino located in Mendoza, Argentina that is owned by the Province of Mendoza. In November 2021, CRM sold its ownership interest in MCE for nominal consideration. In addition, a consulting services agreement between CRM and MCE was terminated.

Preparation of Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission which apply to interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash – A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as stated in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is presented in the following table:

	September 30,		September 30,
Amounts in thousands	2022		2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	99,257	$	100,759
Restricted cash		100,100		196
Restricted cash included in deposits and other		142		227
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows	$	199,499	$	101,182

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $100.1 million related to the Acquisition Escrow in restricted cash and $0.1 million related to payment of prizes and giveaways for Casinos Poland and less than $0.1 million related to an insurance policy in restricted cash included in deposits and other on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $0.2 million in restricted cash related to cash held in escrow for a cancelled sale agreement for Calgary and $0.2 million related to payments of prizes and giveaways for Casinos Poland, and less than $0.1 million related to an insurance policy in restricted cash included in deposits and other on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management’s use of estimates includes estimates for property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and income tax.

Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts – The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD” or “$”). Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies. These transactions are typically denominated in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Polish zloty (“PLN”). Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in income from operations as they occur. 

The exchange rates to the US dollar used to translate balances at the end of the reported periods are as follows:

	As of September 30,	As of December 31,
Ending Rates	2022	2021
Canadian dollar (CAD)	1.3702	1.2678

Goodwill And Intangible Assets

4.GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits of a business combination to the extent that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company determines the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed after review and consideration of relevant information including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices, and estimates made by management.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. Testing compares the estimated fair values of our reporting units to the reporting units’ carrying values. The reportable segments with goodwill balances as of September 30, 2022 included Canada and Poland. For the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the current fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill balances is estimated using a combination of (i) the income approach using the discounted cash flow method for projected revenue, EBITDA and working capital, (ii) the market approach observing the price at which comparable companies or shares of comparable companies are bought or sold, and (iii) fair value measurements using either quoted market price or an estimate of fair value using a present value technique. The cost approach, estimating the cost of reproduction or replacement of an asset, was considered but not used because it does not adequately capture an operating company’s intangible value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment analysis requires management to make estimates about future operating results, valuation multiples and discount rates and assumptions based on historical data and consideration of future market conditions. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect these estimates. Given the uncertainty inherent in any projection, heightened by the possibility of additional effects of COVID-19, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used, or conditions may change, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future. Such impairments could be material.

The Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. The fair value is determined primarily using the multi-period excess earnings methodology and the relief from royalty method under the income approach.

Trademarks

The Company currently owns three trademarks, the Century Casinos trademark, the Mountaineer trademark and the Casinos Poland trademark, which are reported as intangible assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Trademarks: Finite-Lived

The Company has determined that the Mountaineer trademark, reported in the United States segment, has a useful life of ten years after considering, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related assets or asset groups, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to promote and support the trade name. As such, the trademark will be amortized over its useful life. Costs incurred to renew trademarks that are finite-lived are expensed over the renewal period to general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Changes in the carrying amount of the Mountaineer trademark are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at January 1, 2022		Amortization		Balance at September 30, 2022
United States	$	1,874	$	(177)	$	1,697

As of September 30, 2022, estimated amortization expense of the Mountaineer trademark over the next five years was as follows:

Amounts in thousands
2022	$	60
2023		237
2024		237
2025		237
2026		237
Thereafter		689
	$	1,697

The weighted-average amortization period of the Mountaineer trademark is 7.2 years.

‎

Trademarks: Indefinite-Lived

The Company has determined that the Casinos Poland trademark, reported in the Poland segment, and the Century Casinos trademark, reported in the Corporate and Other segment, have indefinite useful lives and therefore the Company does not amortize these trademarks. Costs incurred to renew trademarks that are indefinite-lived are expensed over the renewal period as general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Changes in the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived trademarks are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at January 1, 2022		Currency translation		Balance at September 30, 2022

Casino Licenses: Finite-Lived

As of September 30, 2022, Casinos Poland had eight casino licenses, each with an original term of six years, which are reported as finite-lived intangible assets and are amortized over their respective useful lives. Changes in the carrying amount of the Casinos Poland licenses are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at January 1, 2022		New Casino License		Amortization		Currency translation		Balance at ‎September 30, 2022
Poland	$	1,019	$	390	$	(321)	$	(163)	$	925

As of September 30, 2022, estimated amortization expense for the CPL casino licenses over the next five years was as follows:

2023		378
2024		192
2025		84
2026		62
Thereafter		109
	$	925

These estimates do not reflect the impact of future foreign exchange rate changes or the continuation of the licenses following their expiration. The weighted average period before the next license expiration is 2.1 years. In Poland, gaming licenses are not renewable. Once a gaming license has expired, any gaming company can apply for the license.

Casino Licenses: Indefinite-Lived

The Company has determined that the casino licenses held in the United States segment from the Missouri Gaming Commission and the West Virginia Lottery Commission and those held in the Canada segment from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission and Horse Racing Alberta are indefinite-lived. Costs incurred to renew licenses that are indefinite-lived are expensed over the renewal period to general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Changes in the carrying amount of the licenses are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at ‎January 1, 2022		Currency translation		Balance at September 30, 2022
United States	$	17,962	$	—	$	17,962
Canada		12,150		(907)		11,243

‎

Player’s Club Lists

The Company has determined that the player’s club lists, reported in the United States segment, have a useful life of seven years based on estimated revenue attrition among the player’s club members over each property’s historical operations as estimated by management. As such, the player’s club lists will be amortized over their useful lives. Changes in the carrying amount of the player’s club lists are as follows:

Amounts in thousands		Balance at January 1, 2022		Amortization		Balance at September 30, 2022
United States	$	14,310	$	(2,183)	$	12,127

As of September 30, 2022, estimated amortization expense for the player’s club lists over the next five years was as follows:

Goldman Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Goldman Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent and collateral agent, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and BOFA Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the Lenders and L/C Lenders party thereto. The Goldman Credit Agreement replaces the Macquarie Credit Agreement discussed below. The Goldman Credit Agreement provides for a $350.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $348.3 million and the Company had $30.0 million available to borrow on the Revolving Facility. The Company used the Goldman Credit Agreement to fund the PropCo Acquisition, for the repayment of approximately $166.2 million outstanding under the Macquarie Credit Agreement, to fund the Acquisition Escrow and for related fees and expenses.

The Term Loan matures on April 1, 2029, and the Revolving Facility matures on April 1, 2027. The Revolving Facility includes up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000 equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity.

Borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being a “SOFR Loan”) or (b) the ABR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being a “ABR Loan”). The applicable margin for the Term Loan is 6.00% per annum with respect to SOFR Loans and 5.00% per annum with respect to ABR Loans. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Facility (“Revolving Loans”) is (1) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) of the Company is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.25% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.25% per annum; (2) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 but greater than 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.00% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.00% per annum; and (3) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 4.75% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 3.75% per annum.

The borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the material subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain exceptions (including the exclusion of the Company’s non-domestic subsidiaries), and are secured by a pledge (and, with respect to real property, mortgage) of substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The Goldman Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default. All future borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties. The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Goldman Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022.

Credit Agreement – Macquarie Capital

In December 2019, the Company entered into a $180.0 million credit agreement with Macquarie Capital Funding LLC, as swingline lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and the Lenders and L/C Lenders party thereto (the “Macquarie Credit Agreement”). The Macquarie Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal (the “BMO Credit Agreement”). The Macquarie Credit Agreement provided for a $170.0 million term loan (the “Macquarie Term Loan”) and a $10.0 million Revolving Facility (the “Macquarie Revolving Facility”). The Macquarie Revolving Facility included up to $5.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company used proceeds from the Macquarie Term Loan to fund the acquisition of MTR, CCG and CCV (the “Acquired Casinos”), for the repayment of approximately $52.0 million outstanding under the BMO Credit Agreement and for general working capital and corporate purposes. In connection with the Goldman Credit Agreement, the Macquarie Term Loan was repaid on April 1, 2022 and the Macquarie Credit Agreement was terminated.

Commitment fees related to the Macquarie Revolving Facility of less than $0.1 million were recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company amortized $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $0.4 million and $1.2 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, relating to Macquarie Credit Agreement deferred financing costs. These costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company wrote off approximately $7.3 million of deferred financing costs to interest expense in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the prepayment of the Macquarie Term Loan.

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino

CDR’s land lease is a financing obligation of the Company. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of its ownership interest in CDR, CDR sold a portion of the land on which the REC project is located and then entered into an agreement to lease back a portion of the land sold. The Company accounts for the lease using the financing method by accounting for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. Under the land lease, CDR has four options to purchase the land. The first option date is July 1, 2023. Due to the nature of the CDR land lease financing obligation, there are no principal payments due until the Company exercises its option to purchase the land. Lease payments are applied to interest only, and any change in the outstanding balance of the financing obligation relates to foreign currency translation. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance on the financing obligation was CAD 19.5 million ($14.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2022).

As of September 30, 2022, scheduled maturities related to long-term debt were as follows:

Long-Term Financing Obligation [Abstract]

Long-Term Financing Obligation

6.LONG-TERM FINANCING OBLIGATION

On December 6, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Tenant”) and certain subsidiaries of VICI PropCo (collectively, the “Landlord”) entered into the sale and leaseback transaction for the Acquired Casino properties. The Tenant entered into the Master Lease with the Landlord to lease the real estate assets of the Acquired Casinos. The Master Lease does not transfer control of the Acquired Casino properties to VICI PropCo subsidiaries.

Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement, dated August 24, 2022, between Evitts and VICI PropCo Buyer, VICI PropCo Buyer agreed to acquire the real estate assets relating to Rocky Gap for approximately $203.9 million. In connection with the Rocky Gap Acquisition, the Tenant and Landlord will enter into an amendment to the Master Lease to (i) add Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) provide for an initial annual rent for Rocky Gap of approximately $15.5 million and (iii) extend the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the existing four five year renewal options).

The Company accounts for the transaction as a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation. When cash proceeds are exchanged, a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation is equal to the proceeds received for the assets that are sold and then leased back. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligations recognized in this transaction was determined to be the fair value of the leased real estate assets. In subsequent periods, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease will be recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment reducing the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation using the effective interest method. The failed sale-leaseback obligations will not be reduced to less than the net book value of the leased real estate assets as of the end of the lease term, which is estimated to be $28.5 million.

The fair values of the real estate assets and the related failed sale-leaseback financing obligation were estimated based on the present value of the estimated future payments over the term plus renewal options of 35 years, using an imputed discount rate of approximately 10.6%. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation is dependent upon assumptions regarding the amount of the payments and the estimated discount rate of the payments required by a market participant.

The Master Lease provides for the lease of land, buildings, structures and other improvements on the land (including barges and riverboats), easements and similar appurtenances to the land and improvements relating to the operations of the leased properties. The Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years with no purchase option (which term will be extended for 15 years from the date of the Master Lease amendment). At the Company’s option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to four five year renewal terms beyond the initial 15 year term. The renewal terms are effective as to all, but not less than all, of the property then subject to the Master Lease. The Company does not have the ability to terminate its obligations under the Master Lease prior to its expiration without the Landlord’s consent.

The Master Lease has a triple-net structure, which requires the Tenant to pay substantially all costs associated with the Company’s Missouri and West Virginia properties, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and operating costs. The Master Lease contains certain covenants, including minimum capital improvement expenditures. The Company has provided a guarantee of the Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease.

The rent payable under the Master Lease is comprised of “Base Rent” and “Variable Rent”. Base rent is:

An initial annual rent (the “Rent”) of approximately $25.0 million.

The Rent will escalate at a rate of 1.01% for the 2^nd and 3^rd years and the greater of either 1.0125% (the “Base Rent Escalator”) or the increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for each year starting in the 4^th year and ending the 7^th year.

The Base Rent Escalator is subject to adjustment from and after the 6^th year if the Minimum Rent Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Master Lease) is not satisfied.

Beginning in the 8^th year of the lease term, Rent will be calculated as (i) 80% of the Rent for the 7^th lease year (“Base Rent”), subject to an annual Base Rent Escalator of the greater of 1.0125% or CPI subject to adjustment if the Minimum Rent Coverage Ratio is not satisfied, plus (ii) variable rent (“Variable Rent”) equal to 20% of the Rent for the 7^th lease year, plus or minus 4.0% of the change in average net revenue of the Acquired Casinos calculated as set forth in the Master Lease.

For the 11^th year and thereafter of the initial lease term, the Base Rent will escalate annually as set forth above and the Variable Rent will be recalculated as set forth in the Master Lease.

The estimated future payments include the payments and adjustments to reflect estimated payments as described in the Master Lease, including an annual escalator of up to 1.0125% and estimates based on contingent rental payments.

Total payments and interest expense related to the Master Lease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

8.INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense or benefits are recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of ($8.1) million on pre-tax earnings of $8.6 million, representing an effective income tax rate of (94.1%) compared to income tax expense of $3.8 million on pre-tax earnings of $20.6 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 18.5% for the same period in 2021. The comparison of pre-tax earnings of $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to the pre-tax earnings of $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 should be considered when comparing effective tax rates for the respective periods.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company computed an annual effective tax rate using forecasted information. Based on current forecasts, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to be highly sensitive to changes in earnings. The Company concluded that computing its effective tax rate using forecasted information would be appropriate in estimating tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

A number of items caused the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to differ from the US federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, including taxation of global intangible low-tax income (GILTI) in the United States, a 23% statutory tax rate in Canada, certain nondeductible business expenses in Poland, and various exchange rate benefits. Furthermore, management has determined that there is significant positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in the United States will be realized. As a result, the valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets has been released, resulting in a $10.2 million income tax benefit recognized during 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for CMR, CRM and Century Resorts International Ltd.

Additionally, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $0.8 million, of which $0.7 million is due to the Company’s ability to utilize pre-acquisition net operating losses. Due to the lapse of statute of limitations related to the pre-acquisition net operating losses, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.2 million during 2022 and anticipates it will recognize a tax benefit of $0.5 million during 2023.

Fair Value Measurements And Derivative Instruments Reporting [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements And Derivative Instruments Reporting

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS REPORTING

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows fair value measurement authoritative accounting guidance for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. That authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market or observable inputs are the preferred sources of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The fair value hierarchy for grouping these assets and liabilities is based on the significance level of the following inputs:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

Level 3 – significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company reflects transfers between the three levels at the beginning of the reporting period in which the availability of observable inputs no longer justifies classification in the original level. There were no transfers between the three levels for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to its non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Long-Term Debt – The carrying value of the Goldman Credit Agreement, the UniCredit Term Loans and CPL’s short-term line of credit approximate fair value based on the variable interest paid on the obligations. The carrying value of the UniCredit Term Loan 2 approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the agreement. The estimated fair values of the outstanding balances under the Goldman Credit Agreement and UniCredit Term Loan 1 are designated as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices in active markets for similar liabilities. The carrying values of the Company’s finance lease obligations approximate fair value based on the similar terms and conditions currently available to the Company in the marketplace for similar financings.

Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements – The estimated fair value of the Company’s other assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, have been determined to approximate carrying value based on the short-term nature of those financial instruments. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.

For the majority of the Company’s contracts with customers, payment is made in advance of the services and contracts are settled on the same day the sale occurs with revenue recognized on the date of the sale. For contracts that are not settled, a contract liability is created. The expected duration of the performance obligation is less than one year.

The amount of revenue recognized that was included in the opening contract liability balance was $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. This revenue consists primarily of the Company’s deferred gaming revenue from player points earned through play at the Company’s casinos located in the United States. Activity in the Company’s receivables and contract liabilities is presented in the tables below.

Receivables are included in accounts receivable and contract liabilities are included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Substantially all of the Company’s contracts and contract liabilities have an original duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedient for such contracts and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

12.LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in each of the jurisdictions in which its subsidiaries operate to calculate the present value of lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company accounts for lease agreements with lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes. The Company does not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less.

The Company’s operating and finance leases include land, casino space, corporate offices, and gaming and other equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of one month to 15 years.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

13.SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports its financial performance in three reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which its casinos operate: the United States, Canada and Poland. The Company views each market in which it operates as a separate operating segment and each casino or other operation within those markets as a reporting unit. Operating segments are aggregated within reportable segments based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. The Company’s operations related to its concession, management and consulting agreements and certain other corporate and management operations have not been identified as separate reportable segments; therefore, these operations are included in Corporate and Other in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The table below provides information about the aggregation of the Company’s reporting units and operating segments into reportable segments:

Reportable Segment	Operating Segment	Reporting Unit
United States	Colorado	Century Casino & Hotel - Central City
		Century Casino & Hotel - Cripple Creek
	West Virginia	Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort
	Missouri	Century Casino Cape Girardeau
		Century Casino Caruthersville
Canada	Edmonton	Century Casino & Hotel - Edmonton
		Century Casino St. Albert
		Century Mile Racetrack and Casino
	Calgary	Century Downs Racetrack and Casino
		Century Sports (1)
		Century Bets! Inc. (1)
Poland	Poland	Casinos Poland
Corporate and Other	Corporate and Other	Cruise Ships & Other
		Corporate Other (2)

(1)The Company operated Century Sports through February 10, 2022. The Company operated Century Bets! Inc. through August 2021, when operations were transferred to Century Mile. For more information about Century Sports and Century Bets! Inc., see Note 1.

(2)The Company’s equity investment in Smooth Bourbon is included in the Corporate Other reporting unit.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is a management function comprised of two individuals. These two individuals are the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers. The Company’s chief operating decision makers and management utilize Adjusted EBITDA as the primary profit measure for its reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-US GAAP measure defined as net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interest earnings (loss) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, loss (gain) 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 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. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense is presented under Corporate and Other in the tables below as the expense is not allocated to reportable segments when reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers. 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.

See below in this Note 1 for additional information about the Calgary property.

Through August 2021, the Company operated the pari-mutuel off-track betting network in southern Alberta, Canada through Century Bets! Inc. (“CBS” or “Century Bets”). In September 2021, the Company transferred these contracts to Century Mile.

The Company’s Colorado and West Virginia subsidiaries have partnered with sports betting and iGaming operators to offer sports wagering and online betting through mobile apps.

The Company has a controlling financial interest through its wholly-owned subsidiary Century Resorts Management GmbH (“CRM”) in the following majority-owned subsidiaries:

The Company owns 66.6% of Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL” or “Casinos Poland”). As of September 30, 2022, CPL owned and operated eight casinos throughout Poland.

Recent Developments Related To COVID-19

‎

Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Company’s results of operations in the first half of 2021 because of closures at the Company’s Canada and Poland properties during this period. The table below provides a summary of the time periods in which the Company’s casinos, hotels and other facilities were closed in December 2020 and during 2021 to comply with quarantines issued by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Company’s casinos have varied their operations based on the governmental health and safety requirements in the jurisdictions in which they are located. Currently the Company’s operations are open and have no health and safety requirements for entry and few COVID-19 related restrictions.

Operating Segment	Closure Date	Reopen Date
Edmonton	December 13, 2020	June 10, 2021
Calgary	December 13, 2020	June 10, 2021
Poland	December 29, 2020	February 12, 2021
	March 20, 2021	May 28, 2021

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. The Company cannot predict the negative impacts that COVID-19 will have on its consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The effects of COVID-19, ongoing governmental health and safety requirements and any future closures could have a material impact on the Company. The Company will continue to monitor its liquidity and make reductions to marketing and operating expenditures, where possible, if future government mandates or closures are required that would have an adverse impact on the Company.

Preparation of Financial Statements

Preparation of Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission which apply to interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Use Of Estimates

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management’s use of estimates includes estimates for property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and income tax.

Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts

Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts – The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD” or “$”). Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies. These transactions are typically denominated in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Polish zloty (“PLN”). Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in income from operations as they occur.

Equity Investment

Equity Investment – On April 1, 2022, the Company purchased 50% of the membership interests in Smooth Bourbon. Smooth Bourbon owns the real property on which the Nugget Casino is located. The additional 50% of the membership interest in Smooth Bourbon is held by Marnell. At Smooth Bourbon, decision making is controlled by Marnell, the managing member. The Company completed an assessment of whether Smooth Bourbon is a variable interest entity in which it has a financial interest. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that Smooth Bourbon is not subject to consolidation under the guidance for variable interest entities. The Company will evaluate its investment in Smooth Bourbon for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. See Note 3 for additional information about Smooth Bourbon.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash – A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as stated in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is presented in the following table:

	September 30,		September 30,
Amounts in thousands	2022		2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	99,257	$	100,759
Restricted cash		100,100		196
Restricted cash included in deposits and other		142		227
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows	$	199,499	$	101,182

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $100.1 million related to the Acquisition Escrow in restricted cash and $0.1 million related to payment of prizes and giveaways for Casinos Poland and less than $0.1 million related to an insurance policy in restricted cash included in deposits and other on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $0.2 million in restricted cash related to cash held in escrow for a cancelled sale agreement for Calgary and $0.2 million related to payments of prizes and giveaways for Casinos Poland, and less than $0.1 million related to an insurance policy in restricted cash included in deposits and other on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted – The Company has not yet adopted the following accounting pronouncements:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). The objective of ASU 2020-04 is to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), which provides clarification that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASU 2020-04 for contract modification and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by discounting transition. The guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has evaluated its debt agreements under ASU 2020-04 and has determined that it will not need to modify any of the agreements as a result of the discontinuation of LIBOR. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements or notes thereto.
