Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the Glory Sea.realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

In late 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 was identified in China and has since spread throughout much of the world. The Company determined that it was more likely than not thatCOVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the agreement was impairedCompany’s first and wrote-down $1.0 million in propertysecond quarter 2020 results of operations and equipment and net receivables in June 2019. The Glory Sea is currently not sailing,financial condition, and the Company has not determined whether itexpects this situation will continue to have an adverse impact on its results for the remainder of 2020. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic otherwise remains uncertain. Between March 13, 2020 and March 17, 2020, the Company closed all of its casinos, hotels and other facilities to comply with quarantines issued by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Company’s Polish locations reopened on May 18, 2020 and its North American operations reopened between June 1, 2020 and June 17, 2020. The reopening approaches varied, with casinos in some jurisdictions reopening fully and others permitted to operate this ship-based casinowith reduced levels of gaming space or without table games. In addition, some locations are operating with limited restaurant operating hours or continued closure of restaurants, requirements to wear face masks, including the requirement of guests to wear face masks, increased frequency of disinfecting surfaces and other measures to account for varying levels of demand.

During the temporary closures of its casinos, hotels and other facilities, the Company took actions to reduce operating costs, including furloughing most of its personnel, implementing reduced work weeks for other personnel until operations resumed, and temporarily reducing salaries to senior management on a voluntary basis. During the closures, the Company continued to pay benefits to its United States and Canadian employees, including part time employees. In Poland, all employees were paid reduced salaries based on local employment laws.

The Company cannot predict the negative impacts that the failure to suppress the spread of COVID-19 will have on its consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and, although all locations have reopened, whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had and will continue to have a material impact on the Company. While the severity and duration of such business impacts cannot currently be estimated, the effects of COVID-19 and the requirements of health and safety protocols are expected to continue to have a material impact on the Company.

In March 2020, as a proactive measure to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company borrowed an additional $9.95 million on its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) under its credit facility with Macquarie Capital (the “Macquarie Credit Agreement”) and $7.4 million on its credit agreement with UniCredit Bank Austria AG (“UniCredit”). See Note 6 for further discussion of the Macquarie Credit Agreement and the UniCredit credit agreement. The Company did not use any portion of the $9.95 million borrowed under the Revolving Facility to fund operations, and maintained such borrowings in cash and cash equivalents until repaid as described below.


11


The Revolving Facility includes a springing leverage ratio (the “Financial Covenant”) tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter in which borrowings under the Revolving Facility as of such day equal or exceed $3.5 million. In March 2020, based on the anticipated timing of reopening the Company’s casinos, hotels and other operations that had been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and based on the anticipated use of all or a portion of the $9.95 million borrowed under the Revolving Facility to fund operations prior to such reopening, the Company projected that, if it was unable to repay the ship begins sailing again.Revolving Facility below $3.5 million on or before the last day of a fiscal quarter, a potential future violation of the Financial Covenant could occur. Prior to June 30, 2020, the Company projected that it would be in compliance with the Financial Covenant as of June 30, 2020 and therefore elected not to pay the Revolving Facility below $3.5 million on or before such date.

·

The Company, through its subsidiary CRM, has a 7.5% ownership interest in Mendoza Central Entretenimientos S.A., an Argentinian company (“MCE”). In addition, CRM provides advice to MCE on casino matters pursuant to a consulting agreement in exchange for a fixed fee plus a percentage of MCE’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). See Note 3 for additional information related to MCE.

·

The Company, through its subsidiary CRM, had a 51% ownership interest in Golden Hospitality Ltd. (“GHL”). The Company sold its interest in GHL to the unaffiliated shareholders of GHL in May 2019 for a  $0.7 million non-interest bearing promissory note. The Company recognized a loss on the sale of its investment of less than $0.1 million in general and administrative expenses on its condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The sale of the Company’s equity interest in GHL also ended its equity interest in Minh Chau Ltd. (“MCL”). See the discussion in “Note Receivable, Net of Current Portion and Unamortized Discount” below and Note 3 for additional information related to GHL and MCL.

The Company and the lender are currently reviewing the Financial Covenant calculation as of June 30, 2020 to determine whether the Company was in compliance with the covenant or was in default as of such date. If a default exists under the Financial Covenant as of June 30, 2020, the Company will not be able to borrow under the Revolving Facility or take certain actions that would otherwise be permitted under the Revolving Facility, and the lender may exercise other remedies, until such default is waived by the lender or the Macquarie Credit Agreement is amended. The Company repaid the Revolving Facility down to $0 as of July 30, 2020, except for a $50,000 letter of credit that it is in the process of cash collateralizing. The Company does not project a need for borrowing under the Revolving Facility in the future. As a result, compliance with the Financial Covenant under the Revolving Facility would not be required in future periods. If a default under the Financial Covenant has occurred, management intends to discuss a waiver of the default or amendment to the Macquarie Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its other credit agreements as of June 30, 2020.

The lease will have an initial annual rent of approximately $25.0 million and an initial term of 15 years, with four five-year renewal options. The transaction, which is expected to close by year end, is subject to approvals of the Missouri Gaming Commission as well as other customary closing conditions.

3.ACQUISITIONS

On December 6, 2019, the Company completed the Acquisition of the operations of the Acquired Casinos from Eldorado Resorts. Immediately prior to the Acquisition, the real estate assets underlying the Acquired Casinos were sold to an affiliate of VICI Properties Inc. (“VICI PropCo”). On the closing date, certain subsidiaries of the Company and subsidiaries of VICI PropCo entered into a triple net lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) for the three Acquired Casino properties. The Master Lease has an initial annual rent of approximately $25.0 million and an initial term of 15 years, with 4 five year renewal options. The Master Lease was evaluated as a sale-leaseback of real estate. The Company determined that the Master Lease did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting and accounted for the transaction as a financing obligation. See Note 7 for additional information about the Master Lease.

The Company paid for the Acquisition using a portion of the $180.0 million credit facility under the Macquarie Credit Agreement (see Note 6). The total consideration of $389.6 million (the “Purchase Price”) for the Acquisition was paid through the Macquarie Credit Agreement, with cash on hand and by VICI PropCo in connection with its purchase of the real estate assets underlying the Acquired Casinos.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company made an initial payment to the seller of $110.6 million on December 6, 2019. This amount included a base price of $107.2 million plus an adjustment based on the estimated working capital of the acquired entities at closing. The Company paid $1.2 million on May 22, 2020 related to the working capital adjustment.

As of December 6, 2019, the Company began consolidating the Acquired Casinos as wholly-owned subsidiaries. CCG contributed $20.0 million in net operating revenue and ($25.8) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2020. CCV contributed $11.3 million in net operating revenue and ($10.6) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2020. MTR contributed $37.3 million in net operating revenue and ($6.8) million in net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and accordingly, the acquired assets of $379.8 million (including $13.9 million in cash and restricted cash) and liabilities of $287.9 million were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 6, 2019. The Acquisition leverages the Company’s management specialties and expertise in the gaming industry, expands the Company’s casino offerings into each of the three new markets and creates operational synergies. The Acquisition generated $19.8 million of tax deductible goodwill for the Company’s United States segment attributable to the business expansion opportunity for the Company (see Note 5).

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (excluding cash and restricted cash received) was determined to be $97.8 million as of June 30, 2020. The fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets were determined using variations of the income, market and cost approaches, including the following methods which the Company considered appropriate:

multi-period excess earningsmethod;

costmethod;

capitalized cash flowmethod;

relief from royalty method;

discounted cash flow method;and

direct market valueapproach.

Both the income and market approach valuation methodologies used for the identifiable net assets acquired in the Acquisition use Level 3 inputs and are provisional pending development of a final valuation.

15


Trade receivables and payables, inventory and other current and noncurrent assets and lease liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values as they represented a reasonable approximation of the fair value of those items at the Acquisition date, based on management’s judgment and estimates.

The personal property components of the fixed assets were primarily valued utilizing the market and cost approaches. Certain personal property with an active and identifiable secondary market value were valued using the market approach. This property included, but was not limited to, certain gaming/slot equipment, information and technology equipment and vehicles. The cost approach was utilized to value all other personal property.

The cost approach estimates fair value as the current cost of replacing or reproducing the utility of an asset, or group of assets and adjusting it for any depreciation resulting from one or more of the following: physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and/or economic obsolescence.

The real estate assets that were sold to VICI PropCo subsidiaries and leased back by lesseesthe Company were first adjusted to fair value concurrently with the Acquisition. The fair value of the properties was determined utilizing the direct capitalization method of the income approach. The fair value of the acquired real estate assets was determined to be $277.8 million.

The income approach incorporates all tangible and intangible property and served as a ceiling for those leases classifiedthe fair values of the acquired assets of the ongoing business enterprise, while still taking into account the premise of highest and best use.

The fair value of the gaming licenses was determined using the multi-period excess earnings methodology (“MPEEM”). The MPEEM is a variation of the income approach that allocates projected cash flows of the business to the gaming license intangible, including charges for contributory assets that, in addition to the gaming licenses, are required to generate the operating cash flows. The contributory assets of each reporting unit included working capital, real estate, fixed assets and other intangible assets. This methodology was considered appropriate as the gaming licenses are considered the primary intangible asset of the acquired entities and the licenses are linked to each respective facility. Under the respective state’s gaming legislation, the property-specific licenses can only be acquired if a theoretical buyer were to acquire each existing facility. The existing licenses could not be acquired and used for a different facility. The properties’ estimated future cash flows were the primary assumption in the respective valuations. Cash flow estimates included net gaming revenue, gaming operating leasesexpenses, general and administrative expenses, and tax expense.

The fair value of the customer relationships from the player’s club lists was valued using the incremental cash flow method under previous US GAAP.the income approach. The incremental cash flow method is used to estimate the fair value of an intangible asset based on a residual cash flow notion. This method measures the benefits (e.g., cash flows) derived from ownership of an acquired intangible asset as if it were in place, as compared to the acquirer’s expected cash flows as if the intangible asset were not in place (i.e., with-and-without). The present value difference in the two cash flow streams is ascribable to the intangible asset. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02has assigned a seven year useful life to the player loyalty programs based on estimated revenue attrition among the player’s club members, based on each property’s historical operations as estimated by management.

The fair value of the trade names was valued using the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method presumes that, without ownership of the asset, the Company would have to make a stream of payments to a brand or franchise owner in return for the right to use their name. By virtue of this asset, the Company avoids any such payments and records the related intangible value of the trade name. The primary assumptions in the valuation included projected revenue, a pre-tax royalty rate, the trade name’s useful life, and tax expense. The Company has assigned the Mountaineer trade name a 10 year useful life 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 subsequent amendments retrospectivelymaintenance expenditures required to promote and support the trade name.

16


The Company has assigned an indefinite useful life to the gaming licenses, in accordance with its review of the applicable guidance of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). The standard requires the Company to consider, 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 Company’s own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected cash flows. In that analysis, the Company determined that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors limit the useful lives of these intangible assets. The Acquired Casinos currently have licenses in Missouri and West Virginia. The renewal of each state’s gaming license depends on January 1, 2019a number of factors, including payment of certain fees and taxes, providing certain information to the state’s gaming regulator, and meeting certain inspection requirements. However, the Company’s historical experience has not indicated, nor does the Company expect, any limitations regarding its ability to continue to renew each license. No other competitive, contractual, or economic factor limits the useful lives of these assets. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that the useful lives of these licenses are indefinite.

Details of the Acquisition in its condensed consolidated financial statementsthe table below are based on estimated fair values of assets and liabilities as of December 6, 2019. The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Acquisition have been recorded at their preliminary fair values. Certain estimated values for the Acquisition for accrued liabilities, intangible assets, and deferred income taxes are not yet finalized pending the final purchase price allocations and the receipt of additional information from the acquired entities. As a result, the Company's estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase price within one year of the Acquisition.

Acquisition-related costs

The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, respectively, in connection with the Acquisition. These costs include legal and accounting fees and have been recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Corporate and Other segment.

Ancillary Agreements

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company and the sellers entered into a transition services agreement dated December 6, 2019, whereby the sellers agreed to provide the Company with certain transitional services following the Acquisition. The agreement compensates the sellers for services following the Acquisition as performed by employees at stated hourly rates. Fees incurred by the Company under the agreement amounted to $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and were recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Corporate and Other segment.

Acquisition-Related Contingencies

Each of the acquired entities is a party to various legal and administrative proceedings, which have arisen in the normal course of business and relate to underlying events that occurred on or before December 6, 2019. Estimated losses have been accrued as of the Acquisition date for these proceedings in accordance with ASC Topic 450, which requires that an amount be accrued if the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations. However, such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings may not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company usedaccrued $1.0 million related to these contingencies as accrued liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

See Note 11 for additional informationrecord the removal of interest expense related to the Company’s lease obligations.

When adopting the leasing standard, the Company made the following policy elections:

·

The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes;

·

The Company elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption and did not establish right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less;

·

The Company used its original assumptions for operating leases entered into prior to adoption, electing not to use the hindsight practical expedient;

·

The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients for transition and did not reassess (i) whether expired or existing contracts were leases or contained leases, (ii) the classification of its existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases; and

·

The Company elected not to evaluate existing or expired land easements under the leasing standard prior to the date of adoption.

The impact of adopting the leasing standard on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 was as follows:

Cost Investment

Mendoza Central Entretenimientos S.A.

In October 2014, CRM entered into an agreement (the “MCE Agreement”) with Gambling and Entertainment LLC and its affiliates, pursuant to which CRM purchased 7.5% of the shares of MCE for $1.0 million. Pursuant to the MCE Agreement, CRM is working with MCE to utilize MCE’s exclusive concession agreement with Instituto Provincial de Juegos y Casinos to lease slot machines and provide related services to Casino de Mendoza, a casino located in Mendoza, Argentina that is owned by the Province of Mendoza. MCE may also pursue other gaming opportunities. Under the MCE Agreement, CRM has appointed one1 director to MCE’s board of directors and had a three-yearthree year option through October 2017 to purchase up to 50% of the shares of MCE, which the Company did not exercise.

In March 2020, the Company assessed the MCE investment due to COVID-19. Casino de Mendoza, MCE’s only customer, was temporarily closed in March 2020. The investment was valued using the following approaches: (i) income approach utilizing the business enterprise value which resulted in no value, and (ii) a value in exchange basis which resulted in no value due to the current circumstances of COVID-19. The Company accountscharged $1.0 million to impairment – goodwill and intangible assets in the Corporate and Other segment on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the $1.0 million investment in MCE using the cost method.six months ended June 30, 2020. Casino de Mendoza has not yet reopened.

Equity Investment

Minh Chau Ltd.

In April 2018, CRM acquired a 51% ownership interest in GHL for $0.6 million. GHL entered into an agreement with MCL and its owners, pursuant to which GHL agreed to purchase up to a total of 51% of MCL over a three-yearthree year period for approximately $3.6 million. GHL had the option to purchase an additional 19% ownership interest in MCL for a total of 70% of MCL under certain conditions. As of May 2019, GHL had paid $0.6 million for a total ownership interest in MCL of 9.21%. GHL and MCL also entered into a management agreement, which provided that GHL would manage the operations at MCL’s hotel and international entertainment and gaming club in exchange for receiving a portion of MCL’s net profit. The Company accounted for GHL’s interest in MCL as an equity investment. The Company excluded the presentation of MCL’s stand-alone financial information after it determined that it is not significant compared to the Company’s consolidated results.

In May 2019, the Company sold its ownership interest in GHL to the unaffiliated shareholders of GHL for a $0.7 million non-interest bearing promissory note. The Company derecognized the equity investment in MCL on its condensed consolidated balance sheets as a result of the sale and is no longer an indirect party to the agreements between GHL and MCL.

4.5.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 reporting unitsreportable segments with goodwill balances as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019 include2020 included Canada and Poland. For the operations at CRA, CDR, CSA and CPL. The Company considers a variety of factors when estimatingquantitative goodwill impairment test, the current fair value of its reporting units, including estimates about the future operating results of each reporting unit multipleswith goodwill balances is estimated using a combination of earnings, various(i) the income approach using the discounted cash flow method for projected revenue, EBITDA and working capital, (ii) the market analyses, and recent salesapproach observing the price at which comparable companies or shares of comparable businesses, if such information is available.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 Company makes a varietycost approach, estimating the cost of estimates and judgments about the relevance and comparabilityreproduction or replacement of these factors to the reporting units in estimating their fair values.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 fair value of each reporting unit is allocated to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and whether impairment is necessary. There have been no indications

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 model and the relief from royalty method under the income approach. The Company impaired the casino license at Century Casino Bath in December 2019.

During the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated closure of its casinos, the Company concluded these triggering events could indicate possible impairment at CRA, CDR, CSAof its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company performed a quantitative and qualitative impairment analysis and determined that goodwill and casino licenses related to certain reporting units were impaired. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company paid an additional $1.2 million related to the working capital adjustment for the Acquisition that resulted in additional goodwill. This amount was subsequently impaired in the same period. The Company recorded $1.2 million and $34.2 million to impairment – goodwill and intangible assets on its condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the impairment of its goodwill and casino licenses for certain reporting units. The impairment analysis required 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 CPL since the Company’s last annual analysis that would necessitateconditions may change, which could result in additional impairment testing bycharges in the Company.future. Such impairments could be material.

7.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 UniCredit AgreementMaster Lease does not transfer control of the Acquired Casino properties to VICI Propco subsidiaries. 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 the 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. At the Company’s option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to 4 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 Acquired Casino properties, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and operational costs. The Master Lease contains certain covenants, including minimum capital improvement expenditures. The covenants under the Master Lease began on January 1, 2020; however, as a result of the casino closures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Landlord and the Tenant entered into an amendment to the Master Lease in May 2020 that, among other things, waived the Tenant’s capital improvement expenditure requirements for 2020 and deferred to not later than December 31, 2021 certain other expenditures contemplated in the underwriting of the Acquired Casino properties. 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% for the 2nd and 3rd years and the greater of either 1.25% (the “Base Rent Escalator”) or the increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for each year starting in the 4th year and ending the 7th year.

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

Beginning in the table8th year of the lease term, Rent will be calculated as (i) 80% of the Rent for the 7th lease year (“Base Rent”), subject to an annual Base Rent Escalator of the greater of 1.25% 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 7th lease year, plus or minus 4% of the change in average net revenue of the Acquired Casinos calculated as set forth in the Master Lease.

For the 11th year and thereafter of the initial lease term, the Base Rent will escalate annually as set forth above because no amountsand 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 1.25% and estimates based on contingent rental payments.

Total payments and interest expense related to the Master Lease were borrowed$10.4 million and $14.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Since 2011, the Polish Internal Revenue Service (“Polish IRS”) has conducted a series of tax audits of CPL to review the calculation and payment of personal income tax by CPL employees for periods ranging from 2007 to 2013. The Polish IRS has asserted that CPL should calculate, collect and remit to the Polish IRS personal income tax on tips received by CPL employees from casino customers and has prevailed in several court challenges by CPL. Through SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, CPL has paid PLN 14.3 million ($4.2 million) related to these audits.

The balance of the potential liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet for all open periods as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 is PLN 3.44.4 million ($0.81.1 million based on the exchange rate in effect on SeptemberJune 30, 2019)2020). The Company has evaluated the contingent liability recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and has concluded that it is properly accrued in light of the Company’s estimated obligation related to personal income tax on tips as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. Additional court decisions and other proceedings by the Polish IRS may expose the Company to additional employment tax obligations in the future.  Any additional tax obligations are not probable or estimable and the Company has not recorded any additional obligation related to such taxes as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.  Additional tax obligations assessed in the future as a result of these matters, if any, may be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  

In March 2020, the Company assessed the likelihood of collecting the portion of the liability that it had sought to collect from LOT Polish Airlines (“LOT”), which previously owned a 33.3% interest in CPL that it sold to the Company in 2013. Due to COVID-19, LOT grounded flights in March 2020. Based on past efforts to collect on LOT’s portions of payments made by CPL to the Polish IRS for tax periods in January 2009 to March 2013 and analysis of LOT’s ability to pay, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the amounts owed would not be collected. As a result, the Company wrote-down PLN 3.0 million ($0.7 million based on the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2020) to general and administrative expenses on its condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

9.INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $3.2$3.1 million on pre-tax incomeloss of $6.3($55.8) million, representing an effective income tax rate of 50.7%(5.6%) compared to an income tax expense of $1.8$2.1 million on pre-tax income of $5.0$4.2 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 35.7%50.1% for the same period in 2018.2019. The comparison of pre-tax loss of ($55.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to the pre-tax income of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 should be considered when comparing effective tax rates for the respective periods.

27


For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company computed its effective tax rate using actual year to date information rather than a full year forecast to compute an annual effective tax rate. Based on current forecasts, which take into account a range of potential impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to be highly sensitive to changes in earnings. The extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and the casino industry at large is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, including but not limited to, the duration and severity of the outbreak, future recurrences of the outbreak and the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, if at all. Accordingly, the Company concluded that computing its effective tax rate using year to date actual results is its best estimate of tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

A number of items caused the effective income tax rate for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 to exceeddiffer from the US federal statutory income tax rate of 21% including a 26%25% statutory tax rate in Canada, where the Company earns a significant portion of its income, nondeductible stock compensation expense in the United States, certain nondeductible business expenses in Poland and the other items discussed below. The increasechange in the effective tax rate compared to the same period in 20182019 is primarily the result of the valuation allowanceallowances recorded in the first and second quarterquarters of 2019,2020 as well as the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets at certain reporting units, which is described below.  This was partially offset by

During the enactmentfirst quarter of a reduction2020, the Company recorded valuation allowances on its net deferred tax assets related to CMR, resulting in $1.5 million of tax expense and on its net deferred tax assets related to the Alberta, Canada income tax rate,United States resulting in an income$1.0 million of tax benefit of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During 2018, CRM received an intercompany dividend, which increased the income tax expense by $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

expense. During the second quarter of 2019,2020, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to CCB, resultingCRM, which resulted in $0.5$1.1 million of tax expense. Based on the analysis of future realization of the CCBCMR, United States and CRM deferred tax assets, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain deferred tax assets will not be realized and therefore recorded athe valuation allowance.allowances. Additionally, the Company impaired goodwill and intangible assets during 2020 at certain of its reporting units and recorded $35.1 million to impairment – goodwill and intangible assets on its condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2020. These impairments affected the income tax rates, but there was limited tax expense associated with these impairments.

8.10.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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 20182019 were as follows:

9. 11. 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

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 0 transfers between the three levels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The estimated fair value and basis of valuation of the Company’s financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

See “Derivative Instruments Reporting” below for detailed information regarding the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.

The Company determinesdetermined the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements based on the notional amount of the swapswaps and the forward rate CAD-CDOR curve provided by Bloomberg and zero-coupon Canadian spot rates as of the valuation date. The Company classifiesclassified these instruments as Level 2 because the inputs into the valuation model can be corroborated utilizing observable benchmark market rates at commonly quoted intervals. The interest rate swap agreements ended in December 2019 when the Company’s BMO Credit Agreement was repaid.

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. ThereDuring 2020, the Company wrote-down goodwill and intangible assets at certain properties based on forecast losses and cash flows at these reporting units resulting from the triggering events caused by COVID-19 and, as a result, charged $34.1 million to impairment – goodwill and intangible assets on its condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Management’s assessments were nodesignated as Level 3 measurements based on the unobservable nature of the inputs used to evaluate the goodwill and intangible assets. In addition, the Company impaired its MCE investment based on evaluations of the investment resulting from the triggering events caused by COVID-19. The Company made assessments about MCE’s ability to continue as a going concern and future cash flows of MCE. Management’s assessments were designated as Level 3 measurements based on the unobservable nature of the inputs used to evaluate the investment. The Company used an income approach and cost approach and weighted both equally. The resulting fair value was insignificant, and consequently the investment was fully impaired resulting in $1.0 million expense recorded as impairment – goodwill and intangible assets oron the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting for the Acquisition. Identifiable assets and liabilities assumed were recognized and measured at the fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2019.the Acquisition date. The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology. The Company’s key assumptions include projected future revenues, customer attrition rates and discount rates. See Note 3 for more information about the Acquisition and accounting for the Acquisition.

Long-Term Debt – The carrying value of the BMOMacquarie Credit Agreement approximates fair value based on recently negotiated terms and the variable interest paid on the obligations. The carrying value of the CPL credit facilities approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of the facilities, the variable interest paid on the Alior Bank facilityUniCredit Agreement and the recently negotiated terms. The carrying value of the CPL credit agreements approximatesapproximate fair value based on the variable interest paid on the obligations. The carrying valuevalues of the CCB loan agreement approximatesCRM and CPL short-term lines of credit approximate fair value based ondue to the variable interest paid onshort-term nature of the obligation.agreements and recently negotiated terms. The estimated fair values of the outstanding balances under the BMOMacquarie Credit Agreement, CPL credit facilities,facility, CPL credit agreements, and CCB loan agreementUniCredit Loan Agreement 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. The fair value of the CDR land lease was CAD 28.6 million ($21.6 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2019) as of September 30, 2019. The estimated fair values of the outstanding balances related to the Company’s finance lease obligations and the CDR land lease are designated as Level 3 measurements based on the unobservable nature of the inputs used to evaluate such liabilities. The Company entered into a line of credit agreement with UniCredit in August 2018. The Company had not borrowed against this line of credit as of September 30, 2019.

29


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, inventory, accrued payroll and accounts payable, have been determined to approximate carrying value based on the short-term nature of those financial instruments. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had no0 cash equivalents.

Derivative Instruments Reporting

As ofIn April 2015,2016, the Company began using interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of variable interest rates under its BMO Credit Agreement. The interest rate swaps were repaid in December 2019 when the BMO Credit Agreement was repaid. The interest rate swaps were not designated as accounting hedges. The interest rate swap resetsswaps reset monthly, and the difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement iswas accrued as interest rates changechanged and is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt. See Note 5 for details of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreement.

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 less than $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $0.2 million for each of the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018.2019. 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 contract 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. There were no impairment losses forIn March 2020, the Company’sCompany wrote-down its receivables related to MCE based on assessments made due to COVID-19 and future cash flows of MCE, and as a result, charged $0.3 million to general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in contract liabilities for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020 relates to deferred revenue for a sports betting agreement entered into by the Company’s subsidiary CRC.

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.

13.LEASES

11.LEASESIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 with a date of initial application of January 1, 2019. The Company applied ASU 2016-02 by recognizing (i) a $38.3 million right-of-use (“ROU”) asset which represents the right to use, or control the use of, specified assets for a lease term; and (ii) a $40.4 million lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. The ROU asset is included in leased right-of-use assets, net, and the lease liability is included in current portion of operating lease liability and operating lease liability, net of current portion, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The comparative information has not been adjusted and is reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company used the alternative modified retrospective method, also known as the transition relief method, which did not require the restatement of prior periods and instead recognized a $0.3 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon transition.

When adopting the leasing standard, the Company made the following policy elections:

The Company elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes;

The Company elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption and did not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less;

The Company used its original assumptions for operating leases entered into prior to adoption, electing not to use the hindsight practical expedient;

The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients for transition and did not reassess (i) whether expired or existing contracts were leases or contained leases, (ii) the classification of its existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases; and

The Company elected not to evaluate existing or expired land easements under the leasing standard prior to the date of adoption.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases and finance lease ROU assets are included in leased ROU assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease liabilities are included in current portion of lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease liabilities are included in current portion of lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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. As the rate implicit is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases, theThe Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in each of the jurisdictions in which its subsidiaries operate to calculate the present value of lease payments. If an implicit rate is readily determinable in the arrangement, the Company will utilize the implicit rate. 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 equipment and other equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of one month to 2820 years.

·

Land – The Company leases the land on which the REC at CMR is built. The lease term is 20 years and the Company has six options to renew for additional five year terms.

·

Casino space - The Company leases space for its casino in Bath, England, its eight casinos operating in Poland and its casinos onboard five cruise ships. The lease term for CCB is 28 years with an option to renew for an additional 15 year term. The lease terms for the casinos in Poland range from six to 12 years. The lease terms for the casinos onboard the cruise ships mirror the agreement terms with the cruise ships, and the lease payments are variable based on revenue.

·

Corporate offices – The Company leases space for its corporate offices in Vienna, Austria and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The lease terms are three and 10 years, respectively. The corporate office lease in Vienna has an option to renew for an additional three years.

·

Gaming equipment – The majority of the gaming equipment that the Company leases is on a monthly basis with variable payments based on revenue.

·

Other equipment – The lease terms range from one to six years, some of which include options to extend the lease and some of which include options to terminate within one year.

12.14.SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports its financial performance in three3 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 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 Century Casino Bath, its concession, management and consulting agreements;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.

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), bowling and entertainment facilities that are in most instances a part of the casinos.

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

Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

In late 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 was identified in China and has since spread throughout much of the ship-based casino onboard the Glory Sea.

We recognized a loss on the sale of this investment of less than ($0.1) million in generalMay 18, 2020 and our North American operations reopened between June 1, 2020 and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The sale of our equity interest in GHL also ended our equity interest in MCL. For additional information related to GHL and MCL, see Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation,” and Note 3, “Investments,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Acquisition

On June 17, 2020. The reopening approaches varied, with casinos in some jurisdictions reopening fully and others permitted to operate with reduced levels of gaming space or without table games. In addition, some locations are operating with limited restaurant operating hours or continued closure of restaurants, requirements to wear face masks, including the potential to require guests to wear face masks, increased frequency of disinfecting surfaces and other measures to account for varying levels of demand.

Temporary closures of all our facilities between March 2020 and June 2020 due to COVID-19 negatively impacted results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. We estimate that net operating revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were adversely impacted by approximately $91.3 million and $34.3 million, respectively, due to these closures. We estimate that the net cash outflows related to operations during the time they were fully suspended were, on average, approximately $8.0 million per month. In March 2020, as a proactive measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed an additional $17.4 million on our revolving credit facilities with Macquarie Capital (“Macquarie”) and UniCredit Bank Austria AG (“UniCredit”).

During the temporary closures of our casinos, hotels and other facilities, we took actions to reduce operating costs, including furloughing most of our personnel, implementing reduced work weeks for other personnel and temporarily reducing salaries to senior management on a voluntary basis. During the closures, we continued to pay benefits to our United States and Canadian employees, including part time employees. In Poland, all employees were paid reduced salaries based on local employment laws. We continue to operate with reduced spending on most advertising and marketing costs as well as implementing cost saving initiatives that are intended to eliminate approximately $13.7 million of non-labor operating costs in 2020. We intend to defer or eliminate approximately $2.2 million of discretionary capital projects for the remainder of 2020 in order to proactively address our capital spending for 2020. Additionally, we negotiated arrangements with some of our contractual counterparties, such as vendors and lessors, to modify the timing of certain contractual payments.

We cannot predict the negative impacts that the failure to suppress the spread of COVID-19 will have on our consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and, although all locations have reopened, whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had and will continue to have a material impact on us. While the severity and duration of such business impacts cannot currently be estimated, the effects of COVID-19 and the requirements of health and safety protocols are expected to continue to have a material impact on us.

Acquisition

On December 6, 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquirecompleted the Acquisition of the operations of Cape Girardeau, Caruthersville and Mountaineer from Eldorado Resorts, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $107.0 million, which we expect$111.7 million. Immediately prior to finance through a new $180.0 million credit facility that will replace the BMO Credit Agreement. Simultaneous with the closing of the Acquisition, VICI will acquire the real estate assets ofunderlying the three properties for approximately $278.0 millionAcquired Casinos were sold to VICI PropCo, and we will enterand VICI PropCo subsidiaries entered into a triple net lease agreement with VICIMaster Lease for the three casinoAcquired Casino properties. The lease will haveMaster Lease has an initial annual rent of approximately $25.0 million and an initial term of 15 years, with four five-yearfive year renewal options.

Cape Girardeau is located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, approximately 120 miles south of St. Louis, Missouri, overlooking the Mississippi river. The property opened in 2012 and consists of a dockside casino featuring 41,500 square feet of casino space, 863 gaming machines, 20 table games, three dining venues, a pavilion and an entertainment center. The property also includes a wide variety of non-gaming amenities, including an events center.

Caruthersville is a riverboat casino located along the Mississippi river in Caruthersville, Missouri. The property opened in 1995 and consists of a dockside casino featuring 21,000 square feet of casino space, 507 slot machines, nine table games, two dining venues, a 40,000 square foot pavilion and a 28-space RV park.

Mountaineer is a hotel, casino, entertainment and live thoroughbred horse racing facility located in New Cumberland, West Virginia, one hour from downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The property originally opened in 1951 with the casino opening in 1994 and features a 357-room hotel, approximately 1,486 slot machines, 36 table games, a poker room, a racetrack and five dining venues.

The Acquisition, which is expected to close by year end, is subject to approval of the Missouri Gaming Commission as well as other customary closing conditions. We received approval of our acquisition of Mountaineer from the West Virginia Lottery Commission in September 2019.

On October 17, 2019, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a resolution to grant bonuses to certain employees and non-executive Board members for their work in negotiating and completing material acquisitions, including the Acquisition. The award is set between 0.15% and 0.25% of the total acquisition value, with final amounts and recipients to be determined by the Board. The Board set an award value for the Acquisition bonus of $600,000, or 0.156% of the total acquisition value (the “Eldorado Bonus”). The Eldorado Bonus will be awarded upon successful completion of the Acquisition, as follows: $24,000 each to Gottfried Schellmann, Dinah Corbaci and Eduard Berger, $144,000 each to Peter Hoetzinger and Erwin Haitzmann, $100,000 to Margaret Stapleton, and $75,000 to Timothy Wright. The remaining $65,000 will be paid to non-executive officers.

On October 17, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a resolution to increase the annual base salaries of some of our named executive officers effective after the closing of the Acquisition, in recognition of the increased size and complexity of the Company following the Acquisition. The annual base salaries will be increased to $250,000 for Margaret Stapleton, €165,000 for Andreas Terler and €125,000 for Nikolaus Strohriegel. These are the first salary increases for these officers since 2014. In addition, the annual base salary for Timothy Wright will be increased to $200,000.

Additional Projects Under Development

In August 2017, we announced that, together with the owner of the Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club in Hamilton, Bermuda, we had submitted a license application to the Bermudan government for a casino at the Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club. The casino willwould feature approximately 200 slot machines, 17 live table games, one or more electronic table games and a high limit area and salon privé. In September 2017, the Bermuda Casino Gaming Commission granted a provisional casino gaming license, which is subject to certain conditions and approvals including the adoption of certain rules and regulations by the Parliament of Bermuda. CRM entered into a long-term management agreement with the owner of the hotel to manage the operations of the casino and receive a management fee if the license is awarded. CRM will also provide a $5.0 million loan for the purchase of casino equipment if the license is awarded.

We are expanding In September 2017, the Bermuda Casino Gaming Commission granted a provisional casino gaming floor at CDR by approximately 3,500 square feet,license, which is a 20% increase insubject to certain conditions and approvals including the gaming floor. We have received regulatory approvaladoption of certain rules and have begun construction. We anticipate completingregulations by the project in November 2019. We estimateParliament of Bermuda. The Parliament of Bermuda has not taken action on this project, will cost approximately CAD 1.5 million ($1.1 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2019).and we do not currently expect this project to go forward.

We are exploring an expansion at Century Casino & Hotel Cripple Creek to provide additional hotel rooms for our existing casino and hotel.

We recognize in our statement 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.

We impaired goodwill and intangible assets in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 due to quantitative and qualitative impairment analysis performed related to the triggering events caused by COVID 19. We impaired $30.7 million in the United States segment and $3.4 million in the Canada segment.

Non-GAAPNon-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 and amortization, non-controlling interestinterests net earnings (losses)(loss) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, (gain) loss on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other, gain on business combination and certain other one-time items.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. 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.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 reportingreportable segments by eliminating the above mentionedabove-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.

Non-GAAPNon-US GAAP Measures – Constant Currency

The impact of foreign exchange rates is highly variable and difficult to predict. We use a Constant Currency basis to show the impact from foreign exchange rates on the current period results compared to the prior period results using the prior period’s foreign exchange rates. In order to properly understand the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations, management believes that investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding changes in foreign exchange rates from our operating revenue, (loss) earnings from operations, net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders and Adjusted EBITDA. Constant Currency results are calculated by dividing the current quarter or year to date local currency segment results, excluding the local currency impact of foreign currency gains and losses, by the prior year’s average exchange rate for the quarter or year to date and comparing them to actual US dollar results for the prior quarter or year to date. The current and prior year’s average exchange rates for the three- and nine-monththree-month periods are presented above. Constant Currency results are not considered a measure of performance recognized under US GAAP. The Constant Currency results are presented below.

Non-GAAPNon-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.

We acquired MTR in West Virginia and CCG and CCV in Missouri in the Acquisition in December 2019.

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

Our US operations closed due to COVID-19 on March 17, 2020 and reopened between June 1, 2020 and June 17, 2020.The results below are presented to illustrate the impact of COVID-19 on net operating revenue in the United States segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. We did not acquire the West Virginia and Missouri properties until December 2019.

During the United States closures we suspended marketing initiatives, furloughed employees and reduced operating costs and expenses as much as possible. Additional savings related to gaming-related expenses. COVID-19 continues to impact results, and we are seeking to maintain operating costs at or below prior year levels for the remainder of 2020. In Colorado, we expect payroll costs will continue to trend below the prior year due to table game closures anticipated through at least mid-August 2020. We anticipate increasing our promotional offerings as needed to compete in the competitive markets in which we operate our US casinos. Special events at our properties have been cancelled or postponed, which will reduce advertising costs. We plan to continue to update our properties with enhancements to encourage social distancing and other measures to allow us to reopen additional gaming space and other facilities that currently are closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Estimated preliminary Adjusted EBITDA for July 2020 are $1.6 million for Colorado, $0.7 million for West Virginia and $3.2 million for Missouri.

A reconciliation of net earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA can be found in the “Non-US GAAP Measures – Adjusted EBITDA” discussion above.

During the Canadian closures we suspended marketing initiatives, furloughed employees and reduced operating costs and expenses as much as possible. Additional savings related to wage subsidies provided by the Canadian government. Because COVID-19 continues to impact results, and we are focusing on managing costs. We continue to look for synergies between our Canadian properties including prizes that are available to guests at all locations instead of at individual casinos only. We expect payroll costs will continue to trend below the prior year due to closures of table games, limited attendance allowed for horse racing and government wage subsidies through December 2020. We plan to continue to update our properties with enhancements to encourage social distancing and other measures to allow us to reopen additional gaming space and other facilities that currently are closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Estimated preliminary Adjusted EBITDA for July 2020 are CAD 2.1 million ($1.6 million based on the exchange rate on July 31, 2020) for Edmonton and CAD 1.2 million ($0.9 million based on the exchange rate on July 31, 2020) for Calgary.

In addition, we evaluated our agreement with Diamond Cruises related to the operation of the ship-based casino onboard the Glory Sea. We determined that it was more likely than not that the agreement was impaired and wrote-down $1.0 million in property and equipment and net receivables in June 2019. The ship is currently not sailing, and we have not determined whether we will continue to operate this ship-based casino if the ship begins sailing again. We are considering continuing to exit from operating ship-based casinos on cruise ships as the contracts expire.

The casino at CCB opened in May 2018.

In April 2018, CRM purchased a 51% ownership interest in GHL. GHL entered into agreements with MCL, the owner of a hotel and international entertainment and gaming club in the Cao Bang province of Vietnam, under which GHL manages MCL and owns 9.21% of its outstanding shares. We sold our interest in GHL to the unaffiliated shareholders of GHL in May 2019 for a $0.7 million non-interest bearing promissory note. We recognized a loss on sale of less than ($0.1) million in general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2019. We consolidated GHL as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest and accounted for GHL’s interest in MCL as an equity investment through May 2019. The sale of our equity interest in GHL also ended our equity interest in MCL.

Interest income

Interest income is directly related to interest earned on our cash reserves and interest from the promissory note with GHL. reserves.

Interest expense

Interest expense is directly related to interest owed on our borrowings under our Macquarie Credit Agreement, our financing obligation with VICI PropCo, the BMO Credit Agreement, the fair value adjustments for our interest rate swap agreements, our CPL and CCBCRM borrowings, our capital lease agreements and interest expense related to the CDR land lease and our finance lease agreements.  The increased interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is due primarily to increased interest expense related to additional borrowings for CMR under the BMO Credit Agreement, and the CDR land lease.

Taxes

Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we recognized an income tax expense of $3.2$3.1 million on pre-tax incomeloss of $6.3($55.8) million, representing an effective income tax rate of 50.7%(5.6%), compared to an income tax expense of $1.8$2.1 million on pre-tax income of $5.0$4.2 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 35.7%50.1% for the same period in 2018.2019.

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. In 2020, our liquidity has been adversely affected by temporary closures of all of our casinos, hotels and other facilities to comply with quarantines issued by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19, as discussed below.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our total debt under bank borrowings and other agreements net of $0.4$9.8 million related to deferred financing costs was $71.1$194.2 million, of which $53.7$183.5 million was long-term debt and $17.4$10.6 million was the current portion of long-term debt. The current portion relates to payments due within one year under our BMOMacquarie Credit Agreement, the CPL credit facilitiesfacility, the UniCredit Loan and the CCB loan agreement. A principal amount of approximately CAD 15.3 million ($11.6 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2019) under our BMO Credit Agreement is due January 31, 2020 and is presented in the current portion of long-term debt. We extended the maturity of this amount from October 2019 and, if necessary, we intend to seek an additional extension of the maturity of this amount pending closing of the committed financing discussed below. We plan to pay off the BMO Credit Agreement and finance the Acquisition with a new $180.0 millionCRM credit facility for which we have a commitment from Macquarie Capital. We intend to repay the remaining current portion of our debt obligations with available cash.facility. For a description of our debt agreements, see Note 5,6, “Long-Term Debt,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Net Debt was $27.4$152.4 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to $6.7$25.5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, due to additional borrowings related to the Century Mile project.Acquisition and drawdowns of $17.4 million on our Revolving Facility and credit agreement with UniCredit in March 2020 as a proactive measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to these payment obligations, we are required to pay annual rent of approximately $25.1 million under the Master Lease and $1.5 million under the CDR land lease financing obligation, excluding variable rent payments. Cash payments related to the Master Lease and CDR land lease were $10.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Cash Flows

At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $44.9$52.5 million, and we had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $5.8$2.6 million compared to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $46.3$55.6 million and working capital of $5.0$22.8 million at December 31, 2018.2019. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash from December 31, 20182019 is due to $10.9$6.0 million ofused to purchase property and equipment, a $1.2 million payment related to the working capital adjustment in the Acquisition, $0.7 million in deferred financing costs, $0.4 million net cash providedused by operating activities, $9.9a $0.2 million distribution to non-controlling interests at CDR and $0.7 million in exchange rate changes, offset by $5.8 million in proceeds from borrowings net of principal payments,payments.

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by $18.5 million used to purchase property and equipment,  $0.2 million used to acquire the non-controlling interest in CBS, $1.0 million used for a distribution to non-controlling interest, and $2.7 million in exchange rate changes. 

Netnet cash provided by operating activities was $10.9$7.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019. Our cash flows from operations have historically been positive and sufficient to fund ordinary operations. Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was negatively impacted by the suspension of our operations due to COVID-19. 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.

Net cash used in investing activities of $18.7$7.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 consisted of $11.4$0.4 million for construction costs related to the Century Mile project; $3.8slot machine purchases at our Colorado properties; $0.6 million for slot machine purchases, $0.2 million in leasehold improvementsrebranding signage and $1.7 million for player tracking systems at the Marriott Hotel in Warsaw, Polandour Missouri properties; $0.2 million for surveillance upgrades at our West Virginia property; $0.4 million for table game equipment and additional assets for the casinos in Poland; $0.5 million in slot machines, chairs and security upgrades for CTL and CRC; $0.5building updates at our Edmonton properties; $0.2 million for the building expansion at CDR; $0.3 million for new carpet and surveillancetable game equipment at CRA; $2.0our Calgary properties; $0.2 million in casino improvements in Poland; $1.5 million in other fixed asset additions at our properties; and $0.2the $1.2 million used to acquire the non-controlling interest in CBS. 

Net cash used in investing activities of $40.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 consisted of $24.5 million for construction costspayment related to the Century Mile project; $8.4 million forworking capital adjustment in the Century Casino Bath project; $5.3 million in leasehold improvements at the new casinos in Poland and additional assets for the casinos in Poland; $0.4 million in slot machines for CTL and CRC; $0.8 million in racetrack improvements and a barn at CDR; $0.7 million in other fixed asset additions at our properties; $0.3 million for CRM’s purchase of its ownership interest in GHL, net of cash acquired; and $0.4 million for GHL’s purchase of its ownership interest in MCL, offset by less than $0.1 million in proceeds from the disposition of assets.Acquisition.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $9.1$5.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 consisted of $9.9$5.8 million in proceeds from borrowings on our long-term debt net of principal repayments, and $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by $1.0 million in distributions to non-controlling interests.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

Since 2000, we have had a discretionary program to repurchase our outstanding common stock. In November 2009, we increased the amount available to be repurchased to $15.0 million. We did not repurchase any common stock during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The total amount remaining under the repurchase program was $14.7 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date.

Potential Sources of Liquidity and Short-Term Liquidity

Historically, our primary sourcessource of liquidity and capital resources havehas been cash flow from operations. 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. 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. In November 2017, we closed a public offering of 4,887,500 shares of our common stock.

The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $34.4 million. As discussed below, we used $24.2 million of the net proceeds for construction of the Century Mile project. We are using the remaining net proceeds to invest in additional gaming projects and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

We believe that our cash at September 30, 2019, as supplemented by cash flows from operations,  will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating costs, capital expenditures at existing properties and current debt repayment obligations for at least the next 12 months. As discussed above, CAD 15.3 million ($11.6 million based on the exchange rate inCOVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on September 30, 2019) current portionour first and second quarter 2020 results of our BMO Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on January 31, 2020. We have a signed commitment letter from Macquarie Capital related tooperations, financial condition and liquidity, and we expect the Acquisition, which is expected to close by year end, for a $170.0 million senior secured term loan and a $10.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility.  We plan to pay off the BMO Credit Agreement with the committed financing discussed above. If necessary, we intend to seek an extension of the maturity of the current portion of our BMO Credit Agreement maturing in January 2020 pending closing of the committed financing. We expect that the primary sources of cash will be from our gaming operations  and additional borrowings under our credit arrangements. In addition to the payment of operating costs, expected or potential uses of cash within one year include the Acquisition, capital expenditures for our existing properties, interest and principal payments on outstanding debt, remaining payments for the Century Mile project, a casino expansion at CDR, an expansion at CRC to provide additional hotel rooms for our existing casino and hotel, and other potential new projects. Wesituation will continue to evaluate our planned capital expenditures at eachhave an adverse effect on results of operations, financial condition and liquidity for the remainder of 2020. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic otherwise remains uncertain. Between March 13, 2020 and March 17, 2020, we closed all of our existingcasinos, hotels and other facilities to comply with quarantines issued by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19. Our Polish locations reopened on May 18, 2020 and our North American operations reopened between June 1, 2020 and June 17, 2020.

During to the temporary closures of our casinos, hotels and other facilities, we took actions to reduce operating costs, including furloughing most of our personnel, implementing reduced work weeks for other personnel and temporarily reducing salaries to senior management on a voluntary basis. During the closures, we continued to pay benefits to our United States and Canadian employees, including part time employees. In Poland, all employees were paid reduced salaries based on local employment laws. We continue to operate with reduced spending on most advertising and marketing costs as well as implementing cost saving initiatives that are intended to eliminate approximately $13.7 million of non-labor operating costs in 2020. We intend to defer or eliminate approximately $2.2 million of discretionary capital projects for the remainder of 2020 in order to proactively address our capital spending for 2020. Additionally, we negotiated arrangements with some of our contractual counterparties, such as vendors and lessors, to modify the timing of certain contractual payments.


56


In March 2020, as a proactive measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the operating performanceuncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed an additional $9.95 million on the Revolving Facility under the Macquarie Credit Agreement and $7.4 million on the UniCredit credit agreement. We did not use any portion of the facilities at$9.95 million borrowed under the Revolving Facility to fund operations, and maintained such locations.borrowings in cash and cash equivalents until repaid as described below.

The Century Mile project cost approximately CAD 61.5 million ($46.4 millionRevolving Facility includes a springing leverage ratio (the “Financial Covenant”) tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter in which borrowings under the Revolving Facility as of such day equal or exceed $3.5 million. In March 2020, based on the exchange rate in effectanticipated timing of reopening our casinos, hotels and other operations that had been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and based on September 30, 2019). We used $24.2 millionthe anticipated use of all or a portion of the net proceeds from$9.95 million borrowed under the common stock offering, $23.3Revolving Facility to fund operations prior to such reopening, we projected that, if we were unable to repay the Revolving Facility below $3.5 million fromon or before the BMOlast day of a fiscal quarter, a potential future violation of the Financial Covenant could occur. Prior to June 30, 2020, we projected that we would be in compliance with the Financial Covenant as of June 30, 2020 and therefore we elected not to pay the Revolving Facility below $3.5 million on or before such date.

We and the lender under the Macquarie Credit Agreement are currently reviewing the Financial Covenant calculation as of June 30, 2020 to determine whether we were in compliance with the covenant or were in default as of such date. If a default exists under the Financial Covenant as of June 30, 2020, we will not be able to borrow under the Revolving Facility or take certain actions that would otherwise be permitted under the Revolving Facility, and availablethe lender may exercise other remedies, until such default is waived by the lender or the Macquarie Credit Agreement is amended. We repaid the Revolving Facility down to $0 as of July 30, 2020, except for a $50,000 letter of credit that we are in the process of cash collateralizing. We do not project a need for constructionborrowing under the Revolving Facility in the future. As a result, compliance with the Financial Covenant under the Revolving Facility would not be required in future periods. If a default under the Financial Covenant has occurred, management intends to discuss a waiver of the Century Mile project. default or amendment to the Macquarie Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under our other credit agreements as of June 30, 2020.

We estimate that the net cash outflows related to operations during the time they were fully suspended were, on average, approximately $8.0 million per month, and that we spent approximately $14.7 million through June 30, 2020 to reopen operations and cover short-term cash needs at the casinos.

54


We cannot predict the negative impacts that the failure to suppress the spread of COVID-19 will have on our consumer demand, workforce, suppliers, contractors and other partners and, although all locations have reopened, whether future closures will be required. Such closures have had and will continue to have a material impact on our business. While the severity and duration of such business impacts cannot currently be estimated, the effects of COVID-19 and the requirements of health and safety protocols are expected to continue to have a material impact on our business.

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 20172020 under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and other securities and under which we undertook the common stock offering in November 2017. 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. 

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 $26.7$23.7 million of our total $44.0$51.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 is held by our foreign subsidiaries and is not available to fund US operations unless repatriated.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition, operating results and liquidity, and the ultimate outcome of the pandemic is uncertain

In late 2019, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in China and has since spread rapidly around the world as a pandemic, prompting aggressive actions by local, state, federal and provincial governments in the US, Canada and elsewhere to control the spread of the coronavirus. COVID-19 has significantly affected virtually all facets of the United States and global economies. This outbreak and the actions taken in response to this public health epidemic, pose the risk that we or our employees, suppliers, and other business partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an unknown period of time. Restrictions on travel, quarantines and other measures imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as ongoing concern regarding the virus’ potential impact, have had and will likely continue to have a negative effect on economies and financial markets, including supply chain shortages and additional business disruptions. Between March 13, 2020 and March 17, 2020, we temporarily closed all of our casinos, hotels and other facilities to comply with quarantine orders issued by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19. Our Polish locations reopened on May 18, 2020 and our North American operations reopened between June 1, 2020 and June 17, 2020. The reopening approaches varied, with casinos in some jurisdictions reopening fully and others permitted to operate with reduced levels of gaming space or without table games. In addition, some locations are operating with limited restaurant operating hours or continued closure of restaurants, requirements to wear face masks, including the potential to require guests to wear face masks, increased frequency of disinfecting surfaces and other measures to account for varying levels of demand. The temporary closures of all our facilities between March 2020 and June 2020 due to COVID-19 negatively impacted our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. We estimate that net operating revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were adversely impacted by approximately $91.3 million and $34.3 million, respectively, due to these closures. We estimate that the net cash outflows related to operations during the time they were fully suspended were, on average, approximately $8.0 million per month.


58


The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased demand uncertainty. Although our properties are again operating, some customers may choose for a period of time not to visit our properties as a result of continuing concerns related to COVID-19, which could lead to lower attendance and further disruptions in our business and results of operations. Governmental officials may impose restrictions on travel or introduce social distancing measures. If the coronavirus continues to spread in the United States or in other jurisdictions in which we operate, or the virus recurs, we may elect on a voluntary basis to again close certain of our properties or portions thereof, or governmental officials may order additional closures, impose further restrictions on travel or introduce additional social distancing measures. The current and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its effect on the ability and desire of people to visit is expected to continue to impact our results, operations, outlooks, plans, goals, growth cash flows and liquidity. The extent of the effects of the outbreak on our business and the casino industry at large is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the outbreak, future recurrences of the outbreak and the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, if at all.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we could experience a longer-term impact on our costs, such as, for example, the need for enhanced health and hygiene requirements in one or more regions in attempts to counteract future outbreaks. Further, COVID-19 may also affect our operating and financial results in ways that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider present significant risks to our operations. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

General economic conditions affecting discretionary consumer spending may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The current outbreak and continued spread of COVID-19 has created economic uncertainty and could cause a global recession. Adverse changes in the economic climate, including higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels and loss of personal wealth resulting from business shutdowns and associated mass layoffs by businesses, and the adoption of social distancing and other policies to slow or control the spread of the virus, are likely to have a negative impact on demand for casinos, including ours, and these impacts could exist for an extensive period of time. Our success depends to a large extent on discretionary consumer spending, which is heavily influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. Difficult economic conditions and recessionary periods may have an adverse impact on our business and our financial condition. Negative economic conditions, coupled with high volatility and uncertainty as to the future economic landscape, have at times had a negative effect on consumers’ discretionary income and consumer confidence, and similar impacts can be expected should such conditions recur. A decrease in discretionary spending due to decreases in consumer confidence in the economy or us, or a continued economic slowdown or deterioration in the economy, could adversely affect the frequency with which customers choose to visit our properties and the amount that our customers spend when they visit. The actual or perceived weakness in the economy could also lead to decreased spending by our customers. Both customer visits and customer spending at our casinos are key drivers of our revenue and profitability, and reductions in either could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. There were no repurchases of common stock during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

Item 5.Other Information
