Caesars Entertainment, Inc., (NASDAQ:CZR) ("Caesars," "CZR," "CEI" or "the Company") today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Fourth Quarter Results:

GAAP net revenues of $2.9 billion versus $2.8 billion for the comparable prior-year period.
GAAP net loss of $250 million compared to net income of $11 million for the comparable prior-year period, with the decrease primarily driven by gains on asset sales in the prior year period of over $350 million.
Same-store Adjusted EBITDA of $901 million versus $882 million for the comparable prior-year period.
Caesars Digital Adjusted EBITDA of $85 million versus $20 million for the comparable prior-year period.

Full Year Results:

GAAP net revenues of $11.5 billion versus $11.2 billion for the comparable prior-year period.
GAAP net loss of $502 million compared to net loss of $278 million for the comparable prior-year period, with the decrease primarily driven by gains on asset sales in the prior year period of over $350 million.
Same-store Adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 billion versus $3.7 billion for the comparable prior-year period.
Caesars Digital Adjusted EBITDA of $236 million versus $117 million for the comparable prior-year period.

Tom Reeg, Chief Executive Officer of Caesars Entertainment, Inc., commented, "Fourth quarter consolidated same-store Adjusted EBITDA grew year over year driven by Caesars Digital which set a new quarterly record of $85 million, stable results in our Regional segment and a quarterly sequential improvement in operating trends in Las Vegas. As we look ahead to 2026, the brick-and-mortar operating environment remains stable, and we are expecting another year of strong Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in our Caesars Digital segment. When combined with lower capex and cash interest expense, 2026 is forecasted to deliver strong free cash flow that we expect to use to pay down debt and opportunistically repurchase our common stock."

^*	Not meaningful
^(a)	Adjustment for pre-disposition results of operations reflecting the subtraction of results of operations for the LINQ Promenade prior to divestiture, including the associated gain on sale, for the relevant periods. Such figures are based on unaudited internal financial statements and have not been reviewed by the Company's auditors for the periods presented. The additional financial information is included to enable the comparison of current results with results of prior periods.
^(b)	Includes a gain on the sale of the WSOP Trademark of $317 million in the Caesars Digital segment and a gain on the sale of the LINQ Promenade of $34 million in the Las Vegas segment.
^(c)	Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measurement and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it is a widely used measure of operating performance in the gaming industry. See "Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures" below for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Caesars, which the Company believes is the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2025, Caesars had $11.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding. Total cash and cash equivalents were $887 million, excluding restricted cash of $97 million.

*(In millions)*	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	887	$	866

Bank debt and loans	$	6,063	$	5,904
Notes		5,800		6,346
Other long-term debt		42		44
Total outstanding indebtedness	$	11,905	$	12,294

Net debt ^(a)	$	11,018	$	11,428

____________________
^(a)	Net debt is a non-GAAP measurement and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it is helpful in understanding our financial position. Net debt is equal to total outstanding indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents.

As of December 31, 2025, our cash on hand and borrowing capacity was as follows:

*(In millions)*	December 31, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	887
Revolver capacity ^(a)		2,075
Revolver capacity committed to letters of credit		(83	)
Revolver capacity committed as regulatory requirement		(46	)
Total	$	2,833

____________________
^(a)	Revolver capacity includes $2.1 billion under our CEI Revolving Credit Facility, maturing in January 2028, and $25 million under the CVA Revolving Credit Facility, maturing on April 26, 2029, less $40 million reserved for specific purposes.

"During the fourth quarter, we continued to opportunistically repurchase our common stock bringing aggregate share repurchases to 14.7 million shares for $420 million since we began our repurchase activity in the middle of 2024. As we move into 2026, we are positioned to benefit from decreasing cash interest expense and our capital expenditures will step down due to the completion of our large growth projects in Virginia and New Orleans," said Bret Yunker, Chief Financial Officer.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA (described below), a non-GAAP financial measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry and we believe that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding our ongoing operating results. Management has historically used Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a full understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income and interest expense, net of interest capitalized, (benefit) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment charges, other (income) loss, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, transaction costs associated with our acquisitions, developments and divestitures, and non-cash changes in equity method investments. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the expense associated with certain of our leases as these transactions were accounted for as financing obligations and the associated expense is included in interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA is unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, debt principal repayments, distributions to our noncontrolling interest owners and payments under our leases with affiliates of VICI and GLPI, which can be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Caesars is attached at the end of this press release.

Net debt (defined above), a non-GAAP measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is helpful in understanding our financial condition. The reconciliation of net debt to total outstanding indebtedness is set forth above.

Other companies that provide similar non-GAAP measures may calculate them differently than we do, and the definitions may not be the same as the definitions used in any of our debt agreements.
