LAS VEGAS, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

On a consolidated basis, revenues in the second quarter of 2026 rose 5.6% to $78.1 million, reflecting strong year-over-year growth at American Place Casino and Chamonix Casino Resort. In the prior-year period, revenues were $73.9 million. Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $(8.7) million, or $(0.24) per diluted common share. In the prior-year period, net loss was $(10.4) million, or $(0.29) per diluted common share. Adjusted EBITDA^(a) rose to $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, a 19.5% increase from $11.1 million in the prior-year period, reflecting increased profitability at American Place and Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s. American Place and Chamonix are the Company’s newest casinos, and both are expected to continue their growth as their operations ramp further.

“Our second quarter results highlight the strength of American Place and continuing progress at Chamonix,” said Daniel R. Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts. “American Place achieved new all-time property records during the second quarter, including a new revenue record. We believe we will continue to see meaningful growth in our temporary American Place facility in the coming quarters, and look forward to even greater contributions from our permanent American Place casino, which we expect to open in the second half of 2028.

“Regarding that permanent casino, we made significant progress toward its full financing, as well as the refinancing of all of our primary debt, in recent weeks. We remain confident in our refinancing goals, though some of the necessary legal work has taken longer to document than expected. Amongst other things, during the quarter, we received approval to operate our temporary American Place facility through February 2029. As our permanent American Place casino is expected to require approximately 18 to 24 months of construction, with its opening anticipated in the second half of 2028, this extension was important to future bondholders. It also helps provide continuity for our guests, employees, and local stakeholders while we build the permanent facility. Most recently, the Waukegan City Council approved several changes to our development agreement, including allowing us to keep the temporary casino’s Sprung structure for five years from the opening of the permanent casino. We believe it will be, by far, the largest event space in the region and we intend to use it to host special events and entertainment that can drive business to our casino. The permanent American Place facility was designed to be substantially larger and more amenity-rich than our existing temporary casino, with roughly double the overall square footage, a significant increase in gaming positions, enhanced food, beverage, and entertainment offerings, and a more upscale architectural design.

“At Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s, total revenues grew 11.7% in the second quarter, reflecting new marketing initiatives that were unveiled in recent months. Adjusted Property EBITDA improved by $1.1 million versus the same period last year, with a modest loss in April offset by positive contributions in May and June. We also continued to improve our management team, including the hiring of a new casino director, formerly with Wynn and Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, a few weeks ago. As awareness of Chamonix builds and the Colorado Springs market continues to develop, we believe there is meaningful upside to the property’s revenues and long-term profitability.”

Second Quarter Highlights

• Midwest & South. This segment includes Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel, Rising Star Casino Resort, and American Place Casino. Revenues for the segment were $61.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, a 5.6% increase from $57.8 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect continuing strength at American Place, where revenues rose 13.4% from the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $13.4 million, a 4.7% increase from $12.8 million in the prior-year period. The improvements at American Place were partially offset by a modest decline in Adjusted Property EBITDA at Rising Star, which was impacted by a 42-hour power outage caused by a downed power line.
• West. This segment includes Grand Lodge Casino, Stockman’s Casino (until the completion of its sale in April 2025), Chamonix Casino Hotel, and Bronco Billy’s Casino. Chamonix and Bronco Billy’s are two integrated and adjoining casinos, operating as a single entity. Revenues for the segment increased 7.3% to $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, versus $14.5 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect strong growth and increased profitability from Chamonix, partially offset by renovation-related disruptions at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort that houses our Grand Lodge Casino, which is a small casino relative to our total operations. Adjusted Segment EBITDA improved 91.8% to $(0.1) million in the second quarter of 2026 from $(1.1) million in the prior-year period. This improvement in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was led by Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s, which improved its Adjusted Property EBITDA by 92.6% to $(0.1) million from $(1.2) million. As our newest property, Chamonix is early in its expected ramp, with operations expected to continue improving in the coming quarters and years. Construction operations continue to impact Grand Lodge Casino at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, leading to lower revenue and Adjusted Property EBITDA in the quarter. Important amenities, including new beachfront high-end suites and food and beverage options, are expected to be complete in late 2027.
• Contracted Sports Wagering. This segment consists of our on-site and online sports wagering “skins” (akin to websites) in Colorado, Indiana, and Illinois. Revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were both $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2026. In the prior-year period, revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA benefited from an additional active sports skin. Such amounts in the second quarter of 2025 were $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, we had $48.4 million of liquidity, including $33.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and the undrawn portion of our revolving credit facility. Our debt consisted primarily of $450.0 million in outstanding senior secured notes due 2028, which are currently callable at par, and $25.0 million outstanding under our $40.0 million revolving credit facility.

(a) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our presentation of non-GAAP Measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. While excluded from certain 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, our 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, 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.

Our non-GAAP Measures are to be used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. These 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. These 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.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We utilize Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the measure of segment profitability in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset sales and disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each segment.

Adjusted Property EBITDA. Adjusted Property EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset sales and disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each property.

Adjusted EBITDA. We also utilize Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as Adjusted Segment EBITDA, net of corporate-related costs and expenses. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity. We utilize this metric or measure internally to focus management on year-over-year changes in core operating performance, which we consider our ordinary, ongoing and customary operations, and which we believe is useful information to investors. Accordingly, management excludes certain items when analyzing core operating performance, such as the items mentioned above, that management believes are not reflective of ordinary, ongoing and customary operations.
