The earnings call presented a mixed outlook with strong performance in Nevada locals casinos and positive legislative impacts, but challenges on the Las Vegas Strip and in the tavern business. While the Laughlin market remains stable, the STRAT faces occupancy and revenue pressures.
Company Guidance
During the Golden Entertainment Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided several key metrics and insights into its performance and future outlook. In Q2, the company reported revenue of $163.6 million and EBITDA of $38.4 million. Their Nevada locals' casinos exhibited strong performance, with quarterly EBITDA showing a 7% increase from the prior year, driven by a 9% EBITDA growth in their Las Vegas Locals Casinos, and improved margins up 170 basis points to over 46%. The Casino Resorts segment saw a revenue decline of 3% and a 5% drop in EBITDA, primarily due to a low table game hold in Laughlin. The STRAT faced a challenging environment with a 4% drop in occupancy to 69%, resulting in a 5% decrease in EBITDA, despite cost management efforts. The tavern business experienced a 7% revenue decline year-over-year. Looking ahead, the company anticipates benefits from recent legislation, including tax relief on tips and increased deductions for seniors, which are expected to positively impact their local properties in 2026. The company also expects to gain from the "Big Beautiful Bill," predicting an extra $10 to $15 million in tax shield. Golden Entertainment remains optimistic about future demand stabilization and growth, particularly in their local properties and taverns, as they continue to navigate a dynamic market landscape.
