Caesars Entertainment Narrows Losses in Q1 2023 Despite Revenue Surge

In the initial quarter of 2023, Caesars Entertainment faced a financial setback of $136 million, notwithstanding a 21% surge in earnings and a reduced net deficit compared to the preceding quarter.

The corporation’s overall earnings amounted to $2.8 billion, reflecting a 21% rise year-on-year, as indicated by its Q1 2023 financial statement. Every division of Caesars’ operations witnessed annual revenue expansion, with gambling earnings hitting $1.59 billion, food and drink earnings at $427 million, lodging earnings at $503 million, and supplementary earnings at $315 million. Nevertheless, despite the earnings surge, Caesars still registered a considerable net deficit of $136 million for the first quarter.

Encouragingly, Caesars declared EBITDA of $958 million for the quarter, a significant 223% upswing compared to the $296 million documented in Q1 2022.

Looking forward, Caesars is strategically situated to capitalize on this impetus, having already established several crucial collaborations this year with entities like White House Studios, Inspired Entertainment, and Konami Gaming.

Reflecting on the outcomes, Caesars CEO Tom Reeg remarked: “We established a fresh first-quarter Adjusted EBITDA benchmark in Las Vegas, which propelled us to another robust quarter. Our regional sector performed on par with recent quarters, particularly when disregarding the influence of harsh weather conditions in Northern Nevada during the quarter. Our digital sector nearly achieved profitability in the quarter despite commencing operations in both Ohio and Massachusetts.”

Caesars Entertainment is experiencing a resurgence! Their quarterly deficits decreased significantly, dropping by more than 80% year-over-year. While they haven’t fully recovered, the trajectory appears positive for this gaming industry leader.
