BALLY’S CORPORATION REPORTS PRELIMINARY THIRD QUARTER 2026 RESULTS WITH CONSOLIDATED REVENUE RISING 21.7% to $807.6 MILLION
PROVIDENCE, R.I., - November 9, 2026 - Bally’s Corporation (NYSE: BALY) (“Bally’s” or the “Company”) today announced preliminary financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Company currently expects to file an extension under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the extension period.
Preliminary Third Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights
•Consolidated revenue of $807.6 million increased 21.7% year-over-year
•Casinos & Resorts revenue of $408.6 million, up 3.2% year-over-year benefitting from landside move of Bally’s Baton Rouge and Bally’s Marquette and the inclusion of Sam’s Town Shreveport, which was acquired during the third quarter, as well as strong growth at Bally’s Chicago temporary facility
•Bally's Intralot B2C revenue of $257.5 million, up 22.8% year-over-year driven by strong revenue growth in the UK, as well as the addition of Intralot's B2C business
•North America Interactive revenue of $62.7 million, up 25.6% year-over-year, reflecting healthy wagering revenue growth across all verticals
•On October 1, 2026, closed on previously announced financing of Bally’s Bronx project, receiving $400 million with additional $160 million available for future draws
Robeson Reeves, Bally’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered another solid quarter, with consolidated revenue up 21.7% year over year and strong Adjusted EBITDAR results across our segments. Revenue growth was led by Bally’s Intralot B2C, which rose over 22%, and North America Interactive, which increased over 25%, while Casinos & Resorts revenue rose low single digits reflecting strong regional gaming performance. Our development projects remain on track, our execution is improving results across every segment, and market conditions remain stable as we head into the fourth quarter and 2027."

(1) Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is Bally’s reportable segment GAAP measure and its primary measure for profit or loss for its reportable segments.
Although Bally’s final results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not yet available, the above presentation reflects our current expectations regarding revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDAR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year. The estimates set forth in this press release are based solely on currently available information, and Bally’s has not finalized its financial statement close process for the third quarter September 30, 2026. During the close process, Bally’s may identify items that would require it to make adjustments to the expected preliminary operating results described herein.
Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the financial information presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, Bally’s has included in this earnings release the non-GAAP financial measures for Segment Adjusted EBITDAR, which excludes certain items described below.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings, or loss, for Bally’s, or where noted Bally’s reportable segments, before, in each case, interest expense, net of interest income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-operating (income) expense, acquisition and other transaction related costs, share-based compensation, and certain other gains or losses as well as, when presented for Bally’s reportable segments, an adjustment related to the allocation of corporate costs among segments.
“Segment Adjusted EBITDAR” is earnings, or loss, for Bally’s reportable segments before interest expense, net of interest income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-operating (income) expense, acquisition and other transaction related costs, share-based compensation, and certain other gains or losses as well as an adjustment related to the allocation of corporate costs among segments, plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases for the real estate assets used in the operation of the Bally’s casinos. For the Bally's Intralot B2B, Bally's Intralot B2C, North America Interactive, and Other segments, Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is equivalent due to a lack of triple net operating lease for real estate assets used in those segments.
Management has historically used consolidated Segment Adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating operating performance because Bally’s believes that this metric is necessary to provide a full understanding of Bally’s core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period performance. Management also believes that Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is a measure that is widely used for evaluating operating performance of companies in Bally’s industry and a principal basis for valuing such companies as well. Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements solely as a valuation metric. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAR is an additional metric traditionally used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as alternatives to GAAP net income as an indicator of Bally’s performance. In addition, Segment Adjusted EBITDAR as used by Bally’s may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in Bally’s industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.
