• Caesars reported solid results for FY2025 and Q4 — full‑year same‑store enterprise net revenues rose by $266M (2%), while Q4 consolidated net revenues were $2.9B (+4%) with adjusted EBITDA of $901M (+2%).
• The Digital segment set a Q4 EBITDA record at $85M and delivered FY net revenue of $1.4B (+21%) and EBITDA of $236M (+100%), with tech upgrades (universal wallet in 26 jurisdictions) and a target of ~20% top‑line growth with 50% flow‑through.
• Las Vegas softness continues: same‑store adjusted EBITDA declined 6% as occupancy fell to 92% (from 96.5%) and ADR was down 5%; management expects sequential improvement driven by group/convention demand but leisure recovery remains uncertain.
• Regional results were mixed — revenues +4% driven by Danville/New Orleans and rewards reinvestment, but Q4 EBITDA dipped due to adverse winter weather; near‑term catalysts include Windsor becoming owned in March, a $200M Tahoe renovation completing in summer, and Harrah’s Oklahoma opening April 9.
• Balance‑sheet and capital allocation outlook is constructive: Caesars reduced debt in 2025, expects lower CapEx, interest expense and sub‑$100M cash taxes in 2026, and plans to deploy free cash flow to a mix of debt paydown and opportunistic share repurchases (no near‑term digital spin planned).
