On the company\u2019s fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings call, executives said quarterly results were in line with expectations, with growth in consolidated net revenue and a record quarterly EBITDA performance in the digital segment.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->President and COO Anthony Carano said full-year same-store enterprise net revenues increased $266 million, or 2%, year over year.

In the regional segment, revenues rose 4% year over year, but EBITDA declined slightly, which executives attributed largely to poor winter weather late in December.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->In Las Vegas, Caesars reported same-store adjusted EBITDA of $447 million versus $477 million in the prior year.

Group and convention room nights accounted for 17% of the mix during the quarter.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Executives also discussed capital investments aimed at elevating the customer experience. Carano said Caesars Palace added two new presidential villas atop the Colosseum Tower and 29 new sky villas atop the Octavius Tower, with strong VIP guest feedback. He also said renovations helped Caesars Palace set an all-time record for slot volume in 2025, including a fully remodeled Palace Court Slots area.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->\u2192 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marketbeat.com\/originals\/devon-energy-bets-on-scale-with-coterra-acquisition\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Devon Energy Bets on Scale With Coterra Acquisition;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Devon Energy Bets on Scale With Coterra Acquisition<\/a><!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Looking ahead, Carano said Las Vegas trends were improving sequentially, citing stabilizing leisure trends and a strong group and convention calendar. CEO Tom Reeg offered additional color, saying the company had been coming off a \u201cvery soft summer\u201d in Las Vegas, driven by leisure weakness, but leisure softness has become \u201cnot as pronounced\u201d as it was. Reeg said peak weekends, major events, and large conferences were performing well, while demand has been more challenging during shoulder periods without major events.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Reeg described staffing as a particular challenge given the volatility between softer midweek periods and fully occupied weekends. Still, he said margins held in the mid-40% range in the fourth quarter. He also pushed back on the idea of a crisis, noting the company\u2019s Las Vegas portfolio averaged roughly 92.5% occupancy across about 20,000 rooms and characterizing the quarter as among the best fourth quarters in the company\u2019s history.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->When asked about 2026 dynamics, Reeg said the company does not provide guidance but expects first-quarter sequential improvement versus the fourth quarter, and he said the second quarter \u201cstarts to look even better.\u201d He added that Caesars plans to remodel the Augustus Tower at Caesars Palace over the summer, affecting \u201ca little less than 1,000 rooms,\u201d with work timed for a softer leisure period and rooms expected back online for Formula 1.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->In the regional segment, Caesars reported fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $407 million, down slightly year over year. Carano said results were negatively impacted by poor winter weather in December, and that absent the weather, regional EBITDA would have increased year over year. Reeg quantified the late-December snow impact as \u201ca little over $10 million of EBITDA,\u201d saying October and November had been quite strong.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Management highlighted benefits from strategic reinvestment in the Caesars Rewards customer database and said rated play trends were strong. Carano said the company would continue refining its marketing approach to focus on returns.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Looking to 2026, Carano outlined expected regional tailwinds including:<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"yf-h8k6hx\">\n<li class=\"yf-h8k6hx\">\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->A stronger group mix in Reno<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"yf-h8k6hx\">\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->The transition of Caesars Windsor from a managed to an owned property in March<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"yf-h8k6hx\">\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Completion of a $200 million Tahoe master plan renovation in the summer<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"yf-h8k6hx\">\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Hosting select property events around the World Cup<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"yf-h8k6hx\">\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Continued ROI from marketing changes<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"yf-h8k6hx\">\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->The opening of Harrah\u2019s Oklahoma (a managed property) expected on April 9<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Reeg also noted that the first quarter of last year included a Super Bowl benefit in New Orleans of \u201ca little over $10 million\u201d that will not recur, but said the business has multiple tailwinds after the first quarter, including Windsor coming online in early March and Tahoe\u2019s expansion in the third quarter.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->President of Caesars Sports and Online Eric Hession said Caesars Digital delivered fourth-quarter net revenue of $419 million and adjusted EBITDA of $85 million, with hold-normalized adjusted EBITDA of $90 million. He said flow-through was 56%, better than targeted.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Hession said mobile sports handle grew 4% year over year in the quarter, and total parlay mix improved by about 210 basis points. He also cited growth in average legs per parlay and a higher cash-out mix. In iCasino, he said net revenue rose 28% year over year, driven by strength in volume and average monthly active users, alongside product enhancements such as new in-house games, improved bonusing, and an \u201celevated live dealer product.\u201d Total monthly unique players increased 19% to 585,000.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->For the full year, Hession reported digital net revenues of $1.4 billion, up 21%, and EBITDA of $236 million, up 100%, with flow-through of 50% in line with target. He also said the company\u2019s universal digital wallet and proprietary player account management system was live in 26 jurisdictions and should be live in all jurisdictions by the end of the current quarter. Caesars also launched sports betting in Missouri, which Hession said was the first state where the company offered a shared wallet on day one.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Reeg said fixed marketing expense in digital will change meaningfully as contracts roll off, with \u201ca little over $35 million\u201d expiring in 2026 (primarily impacting the second half of the year) and \u201canother 20+\u201d rolling off in 2027. He said most of the benefit should flow to EBITDA, though Caesars expects to reinvest some where returns justify it.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->CFO Bret Yunker said Caesars reduced debt in 2025 while executing opportunistic share repurchases. Looking into 2026, he said Caesars expects to benefit from decreasing capital expenditures, decreasing interest expense, and cash taxes \u201cwell below $100 million.\u201d Yunker added that the nearest debt maturity is the company\u2019s relationship bank financing, which matures 24 months from now.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Reeg said Caesars expects to be a \u201csignificant free cash flow generator\u201d in 2026 and intends to use cash for a mix of debt paydown and share repurchases, with activity varying by quarter. He also said management views tax refund season and changes in withholding as potential tailwinds for consumer discretionary spending in 2026.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->On prediction markets, Reeg said Caesars does not expect to participate under the current regulatory environment, citing the importance of gaming licenses and noting that pursuing prediction markets could put brick-and-mortar licenses at risk in some states. He said Caesars would look to participate only if there is regulatory clarity and a legal path acceptable to regulators.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Executives also discussed iGaming legislative developments, saying Maine appeared \u201chighly likely\u201d to launch and that Virginia legislation remained active, though management cautioned that political outcomes can shift quickly.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Caesars Entertainment Corporation is a leading integrated gaming and hospitality company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.
