“In addition, our Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, various covenants: (i) requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio on a quarterly basis of 2.50 to 1.00, (ii) requiring the maintenance of a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio ("CTNL Ratio") on a quarterly basis, (iii) imposing limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens, (iv) imposing limitations on transfers, sales and other dispositions and (v) imposing restrictions on investments, dividends and certain other payments. …”see in full comparison

In 2008, we experienced a profound reduction in consumer demand as a result of the economic recession in the U.S. economy, and we are now experiencing the impacts of inflation,inflation and other economic factors, which are significantly impacting customer visitations and business revenue. Consumer spending habits changed significantly due to the recession in 2008, and we expect that consumer behavior due to inflation and other economic factors may be similarly altered for an extended period of time. Because our business model relies on consumer expenditures on entertainment, luxury and other discretionary items, an ongoing economic downturn could materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
We rely extensively on our computer systems to process customer transactions, manage customer and employee data, and communicate with third-party vendors and other third parties, and we may also access the internet to use our computer systems. Our operations require that we collect and store customer and employee data, including credit card numbers and other personal information, for various business purposes, including marketing and promotional purposes. We also collect and store personal information about our employees. Breaches of our security measures or information technology systems or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure or unapproved dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive personal information or confidential data about us, or our customers, or our employees, including the potential loss or disclosure of such information as a result of hacking or other cyber-attack, computer virus, fraudulent use by customers, employees or employees of third party vendors, trickery or other forms of deception or unauthorized use, or due to system failure, could expose us, our customers, our employees or other individuals affected to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, result in litigation and potential liability for us, damage our casino or brand names and reputations or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We rely on proprietary and commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmitting, and storing of customer information, such as payment card, employee information and other confidential or proprietary information. Our data security measures are reviewed and evaluated regularly; however, they might not protect us against increasingly sophisticated and aggressive threats, and disruptions in our computer systems can occur notwithstanding the data security measures and disaster recovery plans that we have in place. Further, our systems are not fully redundant, and our disaster recovery planning cannot account for all possible scenarios. The cost and operational consequences of implementing further data security measures could be significant.
Additionally, the collection of customer and employee personal information imposes various privacy compliance-related obligations on our business and increases the risks associated with a breach or failure of the integrity of our information technology systems. The collection and use of personal data are governed by privacy laws and regulations enacted by the various states, the United States federal government of the United States,government, and various foreign jurisdictions. Privacy laws and regulations continue to evolve and on occasion may be inconsistent between jurisdictions. CaliforniaFor has enactedexample, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, collectively, the "CCPA"), which provides to California consumers certain access, deletion and opt-out rights related to their personal information, imposes civil penalties for violations and affords, in certain cases, a private right of action for data breaches. Compliance with the CCPA may require us to incur significant costs and expenses. Similar laws have been passed or proposed in other states and at a federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. In addition to fines and penalties that may be imposed for failure to comply with state law, some states provide for private rights of action to customers for misuse of or unauthorized access to personal information.
The gaming industry is highly competitive for both customers and employees, including those at the management level. We compete with numerous gaming entertainment properties. We also compete with other non-gaming resorts and vacation destinations and with various other casino and entertainment businesses, including online gaming websites,websites and mobile applications, and could compete with any new forms of gaming that may be legalized in the future. For example, there has been recent expansion of sports betting in various states with legislation allowing for sports betting in casinos and/or online. Expansion of traditional and online gaming in jurisdictions where we do not operate could create additional competition. The casino entertainment business is characterized by competitors that vary considerably in their size, type of facilities, number of operations, brand identities, marketing and growth strategies, financial strength and capabilities, amenities, management talent and geographic diversity. We face competition from nearby markets in addition to direct competition within our market areas. Furthermore, competition from online platforms continues to increase.
In accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, we test our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or if a triggering event occurs. We also test our long-lived assets for impairment if a triggering event occurs. We perform our annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1. Impairment charges of $10.5$128.4 million, $107.8$10.5 million and $40.8$107.8 million were recorded as a result of our 2024,2025, 20232024 and 20222023 impairment tests and triggering event reviews, respectively.
We can give no assurance that any additional licenses, permits and approvals that may be required will be givengranted or that existing ones will be renewed. Renewal is subject to, among other things, continued satisfaction of suitability requirements. Any failure to renew or maintain our licenses or to receive new licenses when necessary could have a material adverse effect on us.
From time-to-time, federal, state, and local legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax laws, or in the administration of such laws, affecting the gaming industry. For example, the federal government has considered a federal tax on casino revenues. In addition, worsening economic conditions could intensify the efforts of state and local governments to raise revenues through increases in gaming taxes, property taxes and/or by authorizing additional gaming properties each subject to payment of a new license fee. It is not possible to determine with certainty the likelihood of changes in suchthe lawsapplicability or in the administration of such laws. Such changes, if adopted, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Snowstorms and other adverse weather conditions have interrupted our operations, damaged our properties and reduced the number of customers who visit our facilities in an affected area. Likewise, some of our properties have been forced to close for extended periods due to floods and hurricanes, and certain of our properties are in areas that have been identified by the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") as a special flood hazard area. If there is a prolonged disruption at any of our properties due to natural disasters or other catastrophic weather events, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, the operations of critical suppliers could be negatively impacted by severe weather conditions, andwhich whichcould adversely affect our business.
The California, Fremont and Main Street Station draw a substantial portion of their customers from the Hawaiian market, with such customers historically comprising more thanapproximately half of the room nights sold at each property. Decreases in discretionary consumer spending, as well as an increase in fuel costs or transportation prices, a decrease in airplane seat availability, or a deterioration of relations with tour and travel agents, particularly as they affect travel between the Hawaiian market and our facilities, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In recent years, this portion of our business was substantially disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of travel restrictions and quarantine requirements in Hawaii.
Some of our hotels and casinos are located on leased property. If we default on one or more leases, the applicable lessors could terminate the affected leasesleases, and we could lose possession of the affected hotel and/or casino.
We lease certain property on which our hotels and gaming facilities are located. As a lessee, we have the right to use the leased land, including the structures on such land; however, we do not retain fee ownership in the property. Accordingly, we have no interest in the land or improvements thereon at the expiration of the leases.lease. Moreover, since we do not completely control the land underlying such property, a landowner could take certain actions to disrupt our rights in the land leased under thea long-term leases.lease. While such interruption is unlikely, such events are beyond our control. If the entity owning any property chose to disrupt our use either permanently or for a significant period of time, then the value of our assets could be impaired and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. If we were to default on any one or more of these leases, the applicable lessors could terminate the affected leases, and we could lose possession of the affected property, including the underlying land, hotels and casinos. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if some of our leased facilities should prove to beare unprofitable, we could remain obligated for lease payments and other obligations under the leases even if we decided to withdrawwithdrew from those locations.
We have incurred a significant amount of indebtedness in the past and may incur significant indebtedness in the future, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We have a significant amount of indebtedness.
In the past, we have incurred significant indebtedness to fund the growth and development of our business. We and our subsidiaries had approximately $3.2$2.1 billion of long-term debt on a consolidated basis as of December 31, 2024 (of2025, which approximately $1.3$0.2 billion was outstanding under the Credit Facility) (as defined below in "Management's Discussion and whichAnalysis includedof Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Indebtedness"), and excluded approximately $44.0 million of current maturities of long-term debt and excludes approximately $13.0$12.7 million in aggregate outstanding letters of credit. In addition, an aggregate amount of approximately $895.7$1,276.6 million was available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Indebtedness") as of December 31, 2024.2025.
We and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including under our Credit Facility or in connection with expansion, development, investment or other strategic initiatives. Our future ability to satisfy any debt obligations is subject, to some extent, to financial, market, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control. If new debt is added to our consolidated debt levels, the risks associated with our indebtedness could increase, and substantial debt obligations could have negative consequences to our business, including increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions and requiring us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flows to debt service rather than to operating or growth initiatives.
The terms of our Credit Facility and other debt instruments do not fully prohibit us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness, and borrowings under the Credit Facility could be effectively senior to other indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such borrowings.
Our current debt instruments contain, and any future debt instruments likely will contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things: incur additional debt, including providing guarantees or credit support; incur liens securing indebtedness or other obligations; make certain investments; dispose of assets; make certain acquisitions; pay dividends or make distributions and make other restricted payments; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in any new businesses; and enter into transactions with our stockholders and our affiliates.
In addition, our Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, various covenants: (i) requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio on a quarterly basis of 2.50 to 1.00, (ii) requiring the maintenance of a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio ("CTNL Ratio") on a quarterly basis, (iii) imposing limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens, (iv) imposing limitations on transfers, sales and other dispositions and (v) imposing restrictions on investments, dividends and certain other payments. The maximum permitted CTNL Ratio is calculated as Consolidated Net Indebtedness to twelve-month trailing Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Credit Agreement. Our maximum CTNL Ratio must be no higher than 4.50 to 1.00.
Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could have a significant adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Note 7, Long-Term Debt, included in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements presented in Part II, Item 8, contains further disclosure regarding our current outstanding debt. In addition, Note 16, Subsequent Events, includes further disclosure regarding our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement entered into on January 21, 2026.
The restrictive covenants in our Credit Facility and other debt instruments may limit our operational and financial flexibility, and failure to comply with these covenants could adversely impact our business.
Our current debt instruments contain, and any future debt instruments are likely to contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These covenants restrict our ability to, among other things: incur additional debt, including providing guarantees or credit support; incur liens securing indebtedness or other obligations; make certain investments; dispose of assets; make certain acquisitions; pay dividends or make distributions and make other restricted payments; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in new businesses; and enter into transactions with our stockholders and our affiliates.
In addition, our Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, covenants requiring us to maintain: (i) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio on a quarterly basis of 2.50 to 1.00, and (ii) a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio ("CTNL Ratio") on a quarterly basis. The CTNL Ratio is calculated as Consolidated Net Indebtedness to twelve-month trailing Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Credit Agreement and must be no higher than 4.50 to 1.00. Our Credit Facility also imposes limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens, transfers, sales and other dispositions, and restrictions on investments, dividends and certain other payments.
Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our indebtedness and have a significant adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to make paymentspayments, onrefinance, andor tootherwise refinanceservice our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures and expansion efforts depends on our ability to generate cash. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, including rising interest rates.
It is unlikely that ourOur business willmay not generate sufficient cash flows from operationsoperations, or thatand future borrowings willmay not be available to us under the Credit Facility in amounts sufficient for us to retire our current indebtedness as such indebtedness matures,matures and to fund our other liquidity needs. WeIf believeour thatcash flows from operations are insufficient, or if access to capital under our Credit Facility or other financing sources is limited, we willmay needbe required to refinance all or a portion of our current indebtedness atas it matures or beforeseek maturityalternative andsources cannotof provideliquidity. assurancesThere can be no assurance that werefinancing or other financing will be able to refinance any of our current indebtedness, including amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilityavailable on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. WeIn such circumstances, we may havebe required to adoptadjust oneour oroperating moreplans, alternatives,including such asby reducing or delaying planned expenses and capital expenditures, sellingdisposing of assets, restructuring debt, or obtainingpursuing additional equity or debtalternative financing or joint venture partners. These financing strategies may not be achieved on satisfactory terms, or at all.arrangements. In addition, certain state laws contain restrictions on the ability of companies engaged in the gaming business to undertake certain financing transactions. Such restrictions may prevent us from obtaining the necessary capital to meet our current repayment obligations.
Current and future economic, capital and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to service our substantial indebtedness and significantother financial commitments or make planned expenditures.
Our ability to make payments on our substantial indebtedness and other significant financial commitments, including the rent payments under our leases, and to fund planned or committed capital expenditures and other investments depends on our ability to generate cash flow, borrow under the Credit Facility or incur new indebtedness. Capital market volatility and prevailing high interest rates increases our cost of capital. Additionally, borrowings under certain of our facilities are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate volatility. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on certain of our variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same. Our ability to timely refinance and replace our indebtedness,indebtedness on attractive terms or at all,all will be significantly influenced by the economic and capital market conditions at the time of such refinancing. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on a timely basis or if attractive financing terms are not available to us, we might be forced to seek alternate forms of financing, dispose of certain assets or minimize capital expenditures and other investments. There is no assurance that any of these alternatives would be available to us, if at all, on satisfactory terms.
We and our subsidiaries are able to incur substantially more debt, which could further exacerbate the risks described above.
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of our Credit Facility and the indentures governing our senior notes do not fully prohibit us or our subsidiaries from doing so. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are effectively senior to our senior notes and the guarantees of our subsidiary guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such borrowings. If new debt is added to our consolidated debt levels the related risks that we face could intensify.
If we pursue, or continue to pursue, any expansion, development, investment or renovation projects requiring capital beyond our available borrowing capacity, we expect that our long-term debt will substantially increase in connection with related capital expenditures. This indebtedness could have important consequences, including: difficulty in satisfying our obligations under our current indebtedness; increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions; requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness, which would reduce the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, expansion efforts and other general corporate purposes; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; placing us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and limiting, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our indebtedness, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds.
We lease the real estate of Ameristar Kansas City, Ameristar St. Charles, Belterra Resort and Belterra Park (each an "OpCo," and collectively the "OpCos") from GLPI, pursuant to two triple net REIT Master Leases (the "Master Leases"). Current annual rent under the Master Leases is $111.4$113.8 million, with rental increases over time. The Master Leases also include substantial additional obligations that may require future uses of free cash flow, including obligations to maintain and repair the properties,properties includingand minimum annual capital investment requirements,requirements. andThe providesMaster Leases also provide that we have assumedassume the risk of loss with respect to any casualty or condemnation event, includingand thewe obligationmay be required to repair or rebuild the facility.facility in such event.
These obligations, should the circumstances arise, could significantly impact free cash flow and could adversely impact our ability to invest in our operations or seek additional development or strategic opportunities. For example, our obligations under the Master Leases may limit our ability to:

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For the year ended December 31, 2022,2023, and changes from the year ended December 31, 20222023 to the year ended December 31, 2023,2024, management’s discussion and analysis pertaining to our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, and the results of our operations have been omitted from this MD&A and may be found in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In 2025, the Company separated out online reimbursements revenue from online revenue and online reimbursements expense from online expense and recast its consolidated statements of operations to reflect these changes, as discussed further in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recasted Consolidated Statements of Operations. Given this recast, the Company has provided changes for the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2024 for the revenue sources, including online revenue and online reimbursements revenue, that were impacted by the recast. The disaggregation of online reimbursements revenue from online revenue and online reimbursements expense from online expense did not impact the Company's total revenues, net income or earnings per share as previously reported for 2024 and 2023. In addition to the historical information, certain statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those projected in such forward-looking statements.
Our primary areas of focus are: (i) growing revenues and building loyalty among our core customers; (ii) ensuring our existing operations are managed as efficiently as possible and remain positioned for growth; (iii) maintaining the strength of our balance sheet, including our leverage ratios, and finding opportunities to diversify and increase cash flow; (iv) returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends; (v) furtheringinvesting in our corporateexisting socialoperations responsibilityto ("CSR") initiatives, includingenhance our continued efforts to strive to reduce our consumption of natural resources; (vi) pursuing online gaming opportunities to build a regional online casino business as states allow online casino gaming inofferings and aroundremain thepositioned statesfor we operategrowth; and (viivi) successfully pursuing our growth strategy, which is built on identifying development opportunities in our existing portfolio and acquiring assets that we believe are a strategic fit and provide an appropriate return to our shareholders.

Until July 31, 2025, we also held a five percent equity ownership interest in FanDuel Group Parent, LLC ("FanDuel"), the nation's leading sports-betting operator. On July 10, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement with FanDuel and TSE Holdings Ltd., to sell our equity interest, terminate certain market access agreements and enter into certain new market access agreements. The sale of our five percent equity interest in FanDuel closed on July 31, 2025 ("FanDuel Equity Sale"), and the Company received aggregate cash proceeds of $1,758.0 million. See also Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Collaborative Arrangements - FanDuel.
We are committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and finding opportunities to diversify and increase our cash flow. We are also committed to a balanced capital allocation approach with our cash flows, with a current emphasis on investing in our business and returning capital to shareholders. The aggregate cash proceeds from the FanDuel Equity Sale during the third quarter of 2025 were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.
The ability of our Team Members to deliver great "Boyd Style" customer service helps distinguish our Company and our brands from our competitors.

Our players use their Boyd Rewards cards to earn and redeem points at all of our gaming entertainment properties and online casino gaming offerings. Boyd Rewards, among other benefits, rewards players for their loyalty by entitling them to qualify for promotions and monetary discounts, earn rewards toward gaming and nongaming activities and receive benefits such as vacations and luxury gifts.

Total revenues increased $161.8 million, or 4.1%, for 2025 as compared to 2024 due primarily to the following: (i) an increase in online reimbursements revenue of $125.7 million, which relates to reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners; (ii) an increase in gaming revenues of $54.2 million, or 2.1%, driven by an increase in slot handle of 2.8% and slot win of 2.5%; and (iii) an increase in management fees of $10.5 million related to our management of Sky River Casino; offset by (iv) a decrease in online revenue of $23.6 million, which was driven by a $56.5 million decrease in revenue from market access agreements and offset by a $32.9 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations, which was driven primarily by the acquisition of Boyd Digital on September 1, 2024. The $56.5 million decrease in revenue from market access agreements for 2025 was due to the termination of certain agreements starting in third quarter 2025 and in some instances, entry into new agreements at lower rates than those terminated. In addition, 2024 was favorably impacted by $32.1 million in one-time market access fees.
Total revenues increased $191.7 million, or 5.1%, for 2024 as compared to 2023 due primarily to the following: (i) an increase in online revenue of $184.0 million, which was driven by an increase of $122.5 million in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners, during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the prior year comparable period, a $38.1 million increase in revenue under our market access agreements and a $23.4 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations; (ii) an increase in food & beverage revenue of $15.1 million primarily due to an increase in average guest check of 6.1%; (iii) an increase of $11.5 million related to the Sky River Casino management fee; and (iv) offset by a decrease in gaming revenue of $29.4 million. The gaming revenue decline was primarily driven by the first quarter, which contributed to $30.2 million of the gaming revenue decline for the year. Further, more than half of the $29.4 million gaming revenue decline, or $23.0 million, was related to January as severe winter storms impacted the Midwest & South segment. In addition, gaming revenues were down from the prior year due primarily to competitive pressures from a new competitor that opened in our Las Vegas Locals market. Year over year gaming revenue trends improved the latter half of 2024 as the increase in gaming revenue from our new land-based Treasure Chest casino that opened in June 2024 offset the competitive pressures in the Las Vegas Locals market.
In 2025, our operating income decreased $179.4 million, or 19.3%, as compared to 2024. Operating income was unfavorably impacted by a $117.9 million increase in impairment of assets over the prior year as the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $128.4 million during 2025 related to property and equipment in the Las Vegas Locals and Midwest & South segments and operating lease right-of-use assets in the Midwest & South segment, compared to a $10.5 million impairment charge during 2024 related to a gaming license right in the Midwest & South segment. In addition, depreciation and amortization increased $26.1 million driven by a full year of depreciation in 2025 after completion of the new land-based casino at Treasure Chest in June 2024 and our hotel room renovations at multiple properties. While we experienced growth in gaming revenues during 2025, one of our higher margin revenue streams, and growth in Boyd Interactive revenues during 2025, both as discussed above, that growth was offset by the $56.5 million decrease in market access fee revenue, as also discussed above. Market access fee revenue has minimal expenses associated with it such that an increase or decrease in market access fee revenue will have a greater impact on operating income than increases or decreases in other revenue streams. In addition, the increase in online reimbursements revenue of $125.7 million, as discussed above, resulted in zero operating income as an equal amount representing the amount of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners is also recorded as expense.
In 2024, our operating income increased $25.9 million, or 2.9%, as compared to 2023. Operating income was favorably impacted by: (i) $97.3 million decrease in impairment of assets over the prior year comparable period as the Company recorded an impairment charge of $10.5 million during 2024 related to a gaming license right in the Midwest & South segment, compared to $107.8 million in impairment charges during 2023; and (ii) $38.1 million increase in revenue under our market access agreements, which we receive as revenue share under our collaborative arrangements. While online revenues grew $184.0 million, $122.5 million of the online revenue growth is due to reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners that results in zero operating income as an equal amount is also recorded as an expense. Operating income was unfavorably impacted by: (i) $37.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses which were driven by property insurance increases and wage increases; (ii) $19.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization driven by the completion of the new land-based casino at Treasure Chest in June 2024 and our hotel room renovations at Gold Coast, Blue Chip and Ameristar St. Charles; (iii) $9.6 million increase in other operating items, primarily driven by litigation reserves in the current year as compared to a settlement received in the prior year; and (iv) $37.5 million increase in project development, preopening and writedowns expenses. The $37.5 million increase in project development, preopening and writedowns expense over the prior year is driven by: (i) $5.0 million increase in preopening expenses primarily related to the opening of the Treasure Chest land-based casino; (ii) $12.5 million increase in asset writedowns and demolition costs; and (iii) $20.1 million reduction of the allowance on a note receivable with Wilton Rancheria ("Wilton Note") in the prior year for development advances over the 10 years prior to the Sky River Casino opening as we evaluated the current expected credit losses after an amendment to Wilton Rancheria’s third-party construction loan in March 2023 that allowed for payments to us to begin in March 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, net income was $578.0$1,838.9 million, compared with net income of $620.0$578.0 million for the prior year. This decreaseincrease was primarily duedriven toby the following: (i) $41.2a $1,748.0 million gain on the FanDuel Equity Sale in the third quarter of 2025; offset by (ii) a $316.7 million increase in the income tax provision asprimarily 2023driven benefited fromby the releaseFanDuel ofEquity state tax valuation allowances of $35.9 millionSale; (ii) $22.3 million interest income decline due to a reduction in interest earned on the Wilton Note during 2024, as the principal outstanding under the Wilton Note was fully repaid in the first quarter; (iii) $6.2 million increase in interest expense from the prior year comparable period due to an increase in the weighted average long-term debt balance of $42.2 million;and offset by (iviii) anthe increase$179.4 million decrease in operating income of $25.9 million,income, as discussed above.
We derive the majority of our revenues from our gaming operations, which generated approximately 66%64% and 70%66% of our revenues in 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. Online reimbursements revenues, includingwhich include reimbursements received from our third-party operators for gaming taxes and other expenses we pay under collaborativethe arrangements,market access agreements, represent our next most significant revenue source, generating 15%14% and 11% of our revenues in 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. Food & beverage revenues, room revenues, online revenues, management fee revenues and other revenues each separately contributed 8% or less than 8% of revenues in each of 20242025 and 2023.2024.
Gaming revenues are comprised primarily of the net win from our slot machine operations and to a lesser extent from table games win. The $29.4$54.2 million, or 1.1%,2.1%, decreaseincrease in gaming revenues during 20242025 as compared to the prior year, was primarily due to declinesincreases in table game hold of 1.5%, table game drop of 1.3% and slot handle of 0.3%. Gaming revenues were impacted primarily by winter storms throughout the Midwest & South in January2.8% and competitiveslot pressureswin throughoutof the year in the Las Vegas Locals segment after a new competitor entered the market in December 2023, both as discussed above.2.5%.
Food & beverage revenues increased $15.1$6.7 million, or 5.2%,2.2%, during 20242025 as compared to prior year, primarily due to an increase in average guest check of 6.1%.7.0%, offset by a 2.8% decrease in food covers. Food & beverage margin for the year ended December 31, 2025, decreased to 14.4% from 16.3% for the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a 9.6% increase in cost per guest served.
Room revenues increaseddecreased $5.5$13.3 million, or 2.8%,6.5%, in 20242025 compared to 20232024 due primarily to ana increasedecline in average daily rate of 3.4% and hotel occupancy rate of 1.5%.0.9%. Room margin for the year ended December 31, 2025, declined to 59.7% from 62.1% for the prior year, primarily due to a 2.9% increase in cost per room.
Online revenues decreased $23.6 million, or 15.1%, in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily driven by a $56.5 million decrease in revenue from market access agreements due to the termination of certain agreements starting in the third quarter of 2025 and in some instances, entry into new agreements at lower rates than those terminated. In addition, 2024 favorably benefitted from $32.1 million of one-time market access fees. Offsetting this decline is a $32.9 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations, which was driven primarily by the acquisition of Boyd Digital on September 1, 2024. Online margins declined during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year, due primarily to the changes in our market access agreements starting in the third quarter of 2025. The fees we receive under our market access agreements generate high margin revenues as we incur minimal costs related to such agreements. As such, the lower market access fees we now receive from the new agreements entered into during the third quarter of 2025 had an unfavorable impact on online margins as compared to the prior year, and we expect these lower margins to continue and further dilute with a full year of lower market access fee revenues.
Online revenues increased $184.0$61.6 millionmillion, or 65.3%, in 2024 compared to 2023 due primarily driven by an increase of $122.5 million in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners,to a $38.1 million increase in revenue under our market access agreements,fees, including $32.1 million of one-time market access fees, and a $23.4 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations,Interactive, inclusive of ResortsBoyd Digital upon acquisition on September 1, 2024.
Online reimbursements revenues increased $125.7 million, or 27.9%, in 2025 compared to 2024 and represents an increase in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners.
Online reimbursements revenues increased $122.5 million, or 37.3%, in 2024 compared to 2023 and represents an increase in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners.
We determine profitability based on Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Rent ("Adjusted EBITDAR"), which represents earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent, master lease rent expense, other operating items, net, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debtdebt, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and other items, net, as applicable. Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is the aggregate sum of the Adjusted EBITDAR for each of the gaming entertainment properties included in our Las Vegas Locals, Downtown Las Vegas, and Midwest & South segments and our Online segment. Results for Downtown Las Vegas include the results of our travel agency located in Hawaii. Results for our nonreportable operating segments, including Lattner and our Sky River Casino management feesfees, are aggregated in the Managed & Other category. Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, rent, aircraft expenses and various other expenses not directly related to our casino, hotel and online operations. Furthermore, for purposes of this presentation, corporate expense excludes its portion of share-based compensation expense.
The following table presents our total revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by Reportable Segment and our Managed & Other category to reconcile to total revenuerevenues and total Adjusted EBITDAR:
(1) Refer to Note 14, Segment Information, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAR to net income,income attributable to Boyd Gaming, as reported in accordance with GAAP in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Total revenues decreased $4.6 million, or 0.5%, during 2025 as compared to the prior year. Room revenues declined $13.4 million over the prior year comparable period, primarily due to declines in hotel occupancy rate and average daily rate of 4.9% and 7.8%, respectively. The reduction in average daily rate and hotel occupancy rate was driven primarily from the prior year benefiting from the Super Bowl held in Las Vegas during the first quarter of 2024 and the softness in destination business primarily during the latter half of 2025. Offsetting this decline, was an increase in gaming revenues of $6.4 million primarily due to increases in slot win of 2.0% and slot handle of 1.4%. Food & beverage revenues increased $3.1 million, which was attributable to an 8.3% increase in average guest check and 0.5% increase in food covers.
Total revenues decreased $33.6 million, or 3.6%, during 2024 as compared to the prior year, due primarily to a $36.9 million decline in gaming revenues. The decrease in gaming revenues was attributable to declines in table game hold of 7.8%, table game drop of 3.2%, slot handle of 3.7% and slot win of 3.1% from the prior year. The Las Vegas Locals segment was impacted by competitive pressures with a new competitor entering the market in December 2023. Absent these competitive pressures that have impacted two of our properties, the rest of the Las Vegas Locals segment performed in-line or slightly above the overall same-store market.
Adjusted EBITDAR decreased $42.5$7.9 million, or 9.0%,1.8%, during 20242025 as compared to the prior year, due primarily to the gaming$13.4 million room revenue decline combined with revenue mix changes, with higher margin room revenues declinein discussed2025 abovedecreasing from the prior year and overalllower costmargin pressures,food primarily& beverage revenues in labor2025 asincreasing we completed our efforts in 2023 to increaseover the hourlyprior minimum rate to $15 per hour for all non-tipped, non-represented positions and also property insurance.year.

Room revenues increased $2.5 million as the hotel occupancy rate increased 7.7% and food & beverage revenues increased $2.5 million as average guest check increased 4.6%. In addition, gaming revenues increased $2.0 million primarily due to increases in slot win of 4.6% and slot handle of 3.2%. These increases were primarily attributable to our recently completed renovation and expansion at the Fremont Hotel & Casino and the hotel remodel at Main Street Station Hotel and Casino, both of which were completed in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Online revenues increased $184.0$102.1 million, or 43.6%,16.8%, in 20242025 as compared to 2023,2024, primarily driven by an increase of $122.5$125.7 million in reimbursements of gaming taxes and other expenses paid on behalf of our online partners, a $38.1 million increase in revenue under our market access agreements, including $32.1 million of one-time market access fees,partners and a $23.4$32.9 million increase in revenue from Boyd Interactive's operations, inclusivedriven by the acquisition of ResortsBoyd Digital upon acquisition on September 1, 2024. Offsetting these increases, was a $56.5 million decrease in revenue related to the market access agreement changes in the latter half of 2025 and the $32.1 million of one-time market access fees in 2024, as discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDAR decreased by $44.5 million, or 41.3%, in 2025 as compared to 2024. There was an equal amount of expense recorded for the revenue related to the reimbursement of gaming taxes and other expenses, and thus online reimbursements revenue growth resulted in no impact to Adjusted EBITDAR. As such, the Adjusted EBITDAR decrease for the year ended December 31, 2025, was driven primarily by the reduction in revenue under our market access agreements offset by growth in Boyd Interactive's operations driven by the acquisition of Boyd Digital on September 1, 2024, all as discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDAR increased by $45.3 million, or 72.6%, in 2024 as compared to 2023, due primarily to revenues under our market access agreements and continued growth from Boyd Interactive. We recorded one-time market access fees of $32.1 million during 2024 that contributed to year over year Adjusted EBITDAR growth. As discussed earlier, there is an equal amount of expense recorded for the revenue recorded related to the reimbursement of gaming taxes and other expenses, thus resulting in no impact to Adjusted EBITDAR.
In 2024,2025, total revenues increased by $12.1$12.4 million and Adjusted EBITDAR increased by $11.7$12.0 million, as compared to 2023,2024, primarily due to ana $11.5$10.5 million increase in Sky River Casino management fees for 20242025 compared to 2023.2024.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include marketing, technology, compliance and risk, surveillance and security. These costs, as a percentage of revenues, were 10.9%10.6% and 10.4%10.9% for 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. While we continue to focus on our disciplined operating model and targeted marketing approach, selling, general and administrative expenses were favorably impacted by the increase in 2024online byreimbursements increasedrevenues wagesover the prior year.

Similar to selling, general and administrative expenses, absent online reimbursements revenue, maintenance and utilities expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were consistent with prior year.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $302.7 million and $276.6 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense, for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year, is primarily driven by a full year of depreciation of the new land-based casino at Treasure Chest, which opened in June 2024 and hotel room renovations at multiple properties.
Depreciation and amortization expense, as a percentage of revenues, remained generally consistent at 7.0% and 6.9% in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Project development, preopening and writedowns represent: (i) certain costs incurred and recoveries realized related to the activities associated with various acquisition opportunities, strategic initiatives, dispositions and other business development activities in the ordinary course of business; (ii) certain costs of start-up activities that are expensed as incurred in our ongoing efforts to develop gaming activities in new jurisdictions and expenses related to other new business development activities that do not qualify as capital costs; (iii) asset writedowns; and (iv) realized gains arising from asset dispositions. Such costs are generally nonrecurring in nature and vary from period to period as the volume of underlying activities fluctuates. During 2025, the Company incurred $10.2 million in project development and preopening costs, primarily related to the opening of The Interim Gaming Hall in Norfolk, Virginia and other development projects and $4.7 million in asset writedowns, offset by $2.5 million in insurance proceeds related to an asset disposition. During 2024, the Company incurred $15.0 million in project development and preopening costs, primarily related to the opening of the Treasure Chest land-based casino and other development projects, $10.7 million in asset writedowns and $3.0 million in demolition costs. During 2023, the Company benefited from a $20.1 million reduction of the allowance on the Wilton Note for development advances over the last 10 years prior to the Sky River Casino opening offset by preopening costs of $10.0 million.
During 2025, as a result of our first quarter impairment review, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $32.3 million for property and equipment related to our Las Vegas Locals segment. In addition, as a result of our third quarter 2025 impairment review, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $47.3 million for property and equipment related to our Midwest & South segment and $17.8 million for property and equipment related to our Las Vegas Locals segment. Further, as a result of our fourth quarter 2025 impairment review, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $25.0 million for property and equipment and $6.0 million for operating lease right-of-use assets related to our Midwest & South segment.
ImpairmentDuring 2024, as a result of assetsour infirst 2024 includes non-cashquarter impairment chargesreview, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $10.5 million for a gaming license right related to our Midwest & South segment primarily related to a decline in operational performance.
Impairment of assets in 2023 includes non-cash impairment charges of the following: (i) $21.3 million for gaming license rights in our Midwest & South segment primarily due to higher interest rates combined with a decline in operational performance; (ii) $82.0 million for goodwill in our Online segment primarily due to the expectation of an extended timeframe for the legalization of online gaming in the states we operate and a corresponding decline in the expected discounted cash flows; and (iii) $4.5 million for goodwill in our Managed & Other category primarily related to a decline in operational performance.
Other operating items, net, is generally comprised of miscellaneous non-recurring operating charges, including severance payments to separated employees, certain non-recurring litigation charges, natural disasters and severe weather impact, including hurricane and flood expenses, and subsequent recoveries of such costs, as applicable. The $15.4 million of other operating items, net in 2025, was primarily driven by severance with the closure of our Sam's Town Tunica property, weather-related expenses and miscellaneous non-recurring operating charges. The $5.4 million of other operating items, net in 2024, was primarily driven by non-recurring litigation reserves. During 2023, the $4.2 million favorable amount of other operating items, net, was primarily driven by a one-time settlement payment received.
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, decreased $23.0 million, or 13.1%, from 2024 to 2025. The decline was primarily driven by a decrease in the weighted average debt balance of $143.3 million and an approximate 60 basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, and the weighted average debt balance were favorably impacted in 2025 as a result of the FanDuel Equity Sale and the use of the proceeds in the third quarter to repay outstanding borrowings and retire the Term A Loan (as defined below in "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Indebtedness") under the Credit Facility.
Early Extinguishments and Modifications of Debt
In 2025, the Company incurred $1.4 million in loss on early extinguishments of debt due to the full repayment and extinguishment of the Term A Loan with proceeds from the FanDuel Equity Sale. The $1.4 million incurred relates to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance charges associated with the Term A Loan.
Other, net
Included within Other, net for 2025, is the gain from the FanDuel Equity Sale, net of transaction costs.
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, increased $28.4 million, or 19.3%, from 2023 to 2024. The increase was attributable to a $22.3 million interest income decline driven by a reduction of the allowance for the expected loss for interest on the Wilton Note and interest earned on such note during 2023. With the full repayment of outstanding principal under the Wilton Note during the first quarter of 2024, interest earnings related to the Wilton Note were minimal in the current year. In addition, interest expense increased $6.2 million due primarily to an increase in the weighted average long-term debt balance of $42.2 million.
The effective tax rate onduring income2025 and 2024 was 21.1% and 23.1%, respectively. Our tax rate for 2025, was favorably impacted from continuingthe operationspurchase duringof 2024renewable energy tax credits at a discount and 2023excess tax benefits related to equity compensation and unfavorably impacted by state taxes and nondeductible compensation. During 2025, there was 23.1%a andone-time 17.6%,discrete respectively.charge related to the FanDuel Equity Sale which reduced our effective tax rate given specific state taxes that apply to the gain. Our effective tax ratesrate for 2024 and 2023 werewas unfavorably impacted by certain nondeductible expenses, including nondeductible compensation and employee benefit expenses, which were partially offset by the inclusion of excess tax benefits related to equity compensation, as a component of the provision for income taxes. The 2024 effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by state taxes and favorably impacted by foreign tax benefits. The 2023 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the release of state valuation allowances and foreign tax benefits.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Certain provisions of the OBBBA such as the modification of limitation on business interest expense and the 100% bonus depreciation were included in our operating results for 2025. These changes did not have any significant impact to our effective tax rate, however, did result in a reduction to our cash taxes for 2025.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has selected our federal corporate income tax return for the tax year ended December 31, 2021, for examination. The IRS examination began in the second quarter of 2024 and iswas stillclosed ongoing.in the second quarter of 2025 with no significant adjustments. As of December 31, 2024, and for the year then ended,2025, there were no changes to our unrecognized tax benefits to date.
We generally operate with minimal or negative levels of working capital in order to minimize borrowings and related interest costs. Our cash and cash equivalents balances were $316.7$353.4 million and $304.3$316.7 million at December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. In addition, we held restricted cash balances of $4.7$5.4 million and $3.7$4.7 million at December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. Our working capital deficit at December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 was $61.2$448.5 million and $67.0$61.2 million, respectively. The increase in our working capital deficit from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 was driven by $371.3 million of current liabilities for the purchase of renewable energy tax credits.
We believe that current cash balances together with the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in "Indebtedness" below) and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital resource needs for the next twelve months, including our projected operating requirements and maintenance capital expenditures. See "Indebtedness", below,below for further detail regarding funds available through our Credit Facility.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, and the weighted average debt balance were favorably impacted by the retirement in the third quarter of 2025 of $1,680.9 million of then outstanding debt under the Prior Credit Facility with the proceeds from the FanDuel Equity Sale in the third quarter of 2025,Sale, as discussed above.
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased $40.2 million, or 41.5%, from the prior year comparable period and was primarily driven by a decrease in the weighted average debt balance of $1.1 billion and an approximate 60-basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate.

In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for debt extinguishments and debt modifications, we accounted for the retirement of the Prior Credit Facility as a modification of debt. As the borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement equals or exceeds that under the Prior Credit Agreement and the lenders under the Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the lenders under the Prior Credit Agreement, we accounted for the Prior Credit Facility termination as a modification of debt in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for debt extinguishments and debt modifications. As a result, $3.3 million of unamortized deferred finance charges related to the Prior Credit Agreement were added to the $15.1$16.1 million of deferred finance charges incurred under the Credit Agreement and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. The remaining $0.4 million of unamortized deferred finance charges corresponding to the percentage of lenders under the Prior Credit Agreement that did not continue to participate under the Credit Agreement is included in loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. There was no loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.
