Action:ReiteratedDate:05/09/26
The score is held down primarily by weak financial fundamentals—ongoing losses, negative free cash flow, and a highly strained balance sheet with negative equity. Technicals are only mildly supportive (still below the 200-day trend and MACD slightly negative), and valuation is constrained by negative earnings and no dividend support. Offsetting these risks, the latest earnings call signaled improving EBITDAR and cash flow outlook with lower CapEx, which provides some upside if execution continues.
Positive Factors
Asset-level Operational Upside
A material, sustained EBITDA lift at Caruthersville from moving to a permanent land-based facility demonstrates the company can drive durable margin expansion through asset conversion and improved high-value customer capture, showing repeatable operational upside from targeted capital projects.
Negative Factors
High Leverage & Negative Equity
A capital structure with elevated debt and negative equity materially limits financial resilience. This raises refinancing and covenant risk, constrains strategic optionality, and makes the company vulnerable to cyclical downturns or operational setbacks that could impair long-term investment and growth plans.

Century Casinos Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Mar 13, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 06, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a generally positive operational trajectory: the company delivered modest full-year adjusted EBITDAR growth (+3%) despite headwinds, reported a strong quarter with adjusted EBITDAR up 13%, highlighted outsized improvements at key assets (Caruthersville, Mountaineer, several U.S. casinos), and noted improving early-2026 trends and a clearer outlook for Poland. Offsetting items include declines at some properties (Cape Girardeau, Rocky Gap, Nugget full-year), weather disruptions, the loss of sports betting income in Colorado and prior one-time payments that complicate comparisons, rising rent at Caruthersville, and relatively high leverage. Overall, management framed the outlook as constructive with a path to higher cash flow and lower CapEx in 2026, while acknowledging ongoing strategic review activity and portfolio uncertainty.Positive Updates
Full-Year Adjusted EBITDAR Growth
Adjusted EBITDAR increased 3% year over year for full-year 2025; excluding lost sports betting income in Colorado and Poland licensing disruptions, EBITDAR would have grown ~5%.
Negative Updates
Loss of Sports Betting Income and 2024 One-Time Items Skew Comparisons
The results were impacted by the loss of sports betting income in Colorado and prior one-time termination payments in 2024 that skew comparisons (Cripple Creek had a $1.1M termination payment in 2024 and Central City a $1.4M payment), contributing to full-year EBITDA declines at Colorado properties.

Company Guidance
Management guided to higher EBITDAR and cash flow in 2026 and beyond, citing strong Q1 momentum with net operating revenue and adjusted EBITDA “up significantly” year‑over‑year and double‑digit EBITDA growth at every U.S. and Canadian property to date, driven by an improving Nugget, the continued ramp of the new land‑based Caruthersville, and consumer tax‑cut tailwinds; they reiterated prior results of full‑year adjusted EBITDAR +3% (or +5% ex‑Colorado sports betting and Poland) and Q4 adjusted EBITDAR +13%. On the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents were $69.0m (12/31), total debt $338m, net debt $269m, net‑debt/EBITDA 6.9x (lease‑adjusted 7.6x) with no debt maturities until 2029. CapEx guidance: quarterly CapEx ~ $4.5m, company cash CapEx of €18m in 2025 expected to decline to €14–15m in 2026, and management emphasized a focus on debt paydown (vs. buybacks) pending proceeds or decisions from the ongoing strategic review.Century Casinos Financial Statement Overview
