Summary

  • Century Casinos has published its financial report for the first quarter of 2025.
  • The company experienced a strong start to the year, although this was somewhat tempered by adverse weather conditions in North America.
  • Century Casinos, after launching its casino in Missouri, has successfully obtained a second license in Wroclaw, Poland.


Century Casinos, Inc., a top casino entertainment company, announced its latest financial report, showcasing impressive performance in the first quarter of the year, even in the face of challenging weather conditions.

Century Casinos' US-based operations post the lion's share of net operating revenue

The recently released unaudited report offers insights into the company's performance for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. During this period, Century Casinos reported net operating revenues of $130.4 million. Compared to the same period in 2024, this represents a slight 4% decline in revenue for the first quarter of this year. A detailed analysis of the $130.4 million in net operating revenue indicates modest decreases in Poland and the United States, with a significant drop in Canada. In Canada, the company reported net operating revenues of $16.5 million, marking a 10% year-over-year decline. Revenue in Poland fell by 5% to $20.6 million. Conversely, the United States contributed the largest portion, with $93.3 million in net operating revenue, reflecting a minor 3% year-over-year decrease. Additionally, the company's earnings from operations in the first quarter of 2025 reached $7.1 million, which is a 14% decrease compared to the previous year. As expected, adjusted EBITDAR also declined, reaching $20.2 million, a 5% decrease year-over-year.

The company celebrates the early success of its new casino in Missouri, plans growth overseas

Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, the Co-Chief Executive Officers of Century Casinos, shared their insights on the newly released financial report, as reported by Casino House Group News.

We successfully maintained the Adjusted EBITDAR margin from the first quarter of 2024, despite facing reduced revenue due to adverse weather conditions across North America, one fewer operating day compared to 2024, and the loss of high-margin sports betting revenue in Colorado,
they stated. The latest results come on the heels of what the executives described as
successful cost-cutting strategies
implemented at the Nugget, which enabled the property to achieve a positive adjusted EBITDAR even during a challenging quarter. Haitzmann and Hoetzinger highlighted the initial success of Century Casinos' new Caruthersville establishment in Missouri, which opened its doors to guests in November 2024. They further noted,
We anticipate a reduction in quarterly capital expenditures for the remainder of 2025, as spending was disproportionately higher in the first quarter.
Haitzmann and Hoetzinger also remarked,
With capital expenditures significantly reduced in 2025 due to the completion of our ongoing projects and establishments like Caruthersville now operational, we expect our cash generation and financial position to strengthen through the end of 2025 and into 2026.
In addition to opening its Missouri casino in late 2024, Century Casinos recently acquired a new license. In March, the company secured a second license in Wroclaw, Poland, where they plan to inaugurate a new casino in the fourth quarter of this year.
