A prominent gaming and hospitality corporation, Boyd Gaming, witnessed its earnings ascend by a modest 3% in the second quarter of 2023, totaling $917 million. The firm’s gaming establishments fared admirably, generating $660.7 million, while internet wagering proceeds escalated by a remarkable 50%, reaching $85 million. This digital expansion contributed to a 31% surge in Boyd’s overall earnings, which hit $192.5 million. Chief Executive Keith Smith lauded the company’s robust results, emphasizing their capacity to maneuver through a demanding market due to their streamlined operations and emphasis on customer retention.
Concurrently, Gaming and Leisure Properties (GLPI), a real estate investment trust focused on casino properties, announced a 9% revenue leap to $356.6 million for the same period. This solid showing stemmed from expansion across its property holdings. The company’s net income also experienced a positive uptick, climbing by 3% to $160.1 million.
Entertainment and Recreation Holdings, Ltd. (ERH) is thriving after a robust second quarter of 2023, driven by its dependable lessee connections and the durable gambling sector. Chief Executive Peter Carlino enthusiastically reported unprecedented financial success, with modified earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization surging 5% to reach $325.5 million. This expansion demonstrates ERH’s calculated growth and portfolio broadening, now encompassing 59 holdings spanning 18 states, a result of new collaborations with The Cordish Companies and Ballys Corporation. These acquisitions are projected to further elevate ERH’s profitability for the rest of 2023 and into the future.
Concurrently, PointsBet, an Australian wagering firm, also published its Q2 2023 financial statement, revealing a net income of $2.6 billion USD. This follows PointsBet’s latest arrangement to divest its American business segment to Fanatics for a substantial $2.25 billion, concluding a bidding contest with DraftKings.
PointsBet is thriving in the US market! Their earnings surged by 72%, reaching an impressive $161.1 million in Australian currency. This represents a substantial 26% increase compared to the corresponding period last year. Unfortunately, the situation is less favorable in their home market of Australia, where they experienced a mere 1% uptick in the final quarter. However, they are making significant strides in other regions, such as Canada, where their income soared by an astounding 10,415%! Moving forward, PointsBet intends to divest its US operations and concentrate on achieving profitability (or potentially even turning a profit) by April 2024.
