LAS VEGAS, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE:BYD) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.  

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, said: "Our Company delivered another successful performance in 2025, as we continued to position ourselves for growth and to deliver long-term value for our shareholders. For the full year, we achieved record revenues while maintaining strong property-level margins. These results were driven by strength in play from our core customers and our focus on operational discipline. We further enhanced our customer offerings and the growth potential of our portfolio through our ongoing capital investments, including our progress toward the completion of our $750 million resort in Virginia. We also unlocked the substantial value of our equity ownership in FanDuel, utilizing nearly $1.8 billion in gross proceeds to further fortify our balance sheet. And we continued to return significant capital to our shareholders, with more than $800 million in share repurchases and dividends in 2025.  Looking ahead, we are optimistic about 2026, as we expect to benefit from continued strength in play from our core customers, returns from our ongoing capital investments, and the financial strength created by our diversified free cash flow and strong balance sheet."

Operations Review

During the fourth quarter, the Las Vegas Locals segment saw continued growth in gaming revenues due to strong play from our core customers, as well as impacts from continued softness in destination business. In Downtown Las Vegas, results reflected stability in play among Hawaiian guests and reduced destination business. In the Midwest & South segment, the Company's properties continued to benefit from strong growth in play from our core customers, while year-over-year results were impacted by severe winter weather in December 2025.

Results in the Company's Online segment reflected growth from the Company's online casino gaming business, changes to the Company's revenue-sharing agreements due to the FanDuel transaction in the third quarter of 2025, and one-time fees recorded in the year-ago quarter. Year-over-year gains in Managed & Other were driven by continued growth in management fees from Sky River Casino in northern California.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Update

Boyd Gaming paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share on January 15, 2026, as previously announced.

As part of its ongoing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased $185 million in shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $362 million remaining under current share repurchase authorizations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our financial presentations include the following non-GAAP financial measures:

• EBITDA: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
• Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA adjusted for deferred rent, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, other operating items, net, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and other items, net, as applicable,

• Adjusted EBITDAR: Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for rent expense associated with master leases with a real estate investment trust,
• Adjusted Earnings: net income before project development, preopening and writedown expenses, impairments of assets, other operating items, net, gain or loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, and other non-recurring adjustments, net, as applicable, and,
• Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS): Adjusted Earnings divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Collectively, we refer to these and other non-GAAP financial measures as the "Non-GAAP Measures." 

The Non-GAAP Measures are commonly used measures of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), provide our investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results and facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors. We provide this information to investors to enable them to perform comparisons of our past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core on-going operations. We have historically reported these measures to our investors and believe that the continued inclusion of the Non-GAAP Measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. We also believe this information is useful to investors in allowing greater transparency related to significant measures used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making, their evaluation of total company and individual property performance, in the evaluation of incentive compensation and in the annual budget process. Management also uses Non-GAAP Measures in the evaluation of potential acquisitions and dispositions. We believe these measures continue to be used by investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of our company.

The use of Non-GAAP Measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. While excluded from certain of the Non-GAAP Measures, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, the Non-GAAP Measures do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes, capital expenditures and other items both in our reconciliations to the historical GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP Measures to the corresponding forward-looking GAAP measure due to our inability to project special charges and certain expenses.

The Non-GAAP Measures are to be used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP, nor should these measures be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The Non-GAAP Measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding historical GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
