Overview
We are a global gaming, hospitality and entertainment company with a portfolio of casinos and resorts and online gaming businesses. We provide our customers with physical and interactive entertainment and gaming experiences, including traditional casino offerings, iCasino, online bingo games, sportsbook, daily fantasy sports ("DFS") and free-to-play games ("F2P"). As ofMarch 31, 2022 , we own and manage 14 land-based casinos and one horse racetrack in ten states acrossthe United States ("US") operating under Bally's brand. Our land-based casino operations include approximately 14,400 slot machines, 500 table games and 3,900 hotel rooms, along with various restaurants, entertainment venues and other amenities. Certain of our properties are leased under a master lease agreement with Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. ("GLPI"), a publicly traded gaming-focused real estate investment trust ("REIT"). With our acquisition ofLondon -basedGamesys Group Ltd. ("Gamesys") onOctober 1, 2021 , we expanded our geographical and product footprints to include an iGaming business with well-known brands providing iCasino and online bingo experiences to our global online customer base with concentrations inEurope andAsia and a growing presence inNorth America . Our iCasino and online bingo platforms and games content, sportsbook and F2P games are provided on a business-to-business ("B2B") as well as a business-to-consumer ("B2C") basis. Our revenues are primarily generated by these gaming and entertainment offerings. We own and operate our proprietary software and technology stack designed to allow us to provide consumers differentiated offerings and exclusive content.
Our Strategy and Business Developments
We seek to continue to grow our business by actively pursuing the acquisition and development of new gaming opportunities and reinvesting in our existing operations. We believe that interactive gaming represents a significant strategic opportunity for the future growth ofBally's . We seek to increase revenues at our casinos and resorts through enhancing the guest experience by providing popular games, restaurants, hotel accommodations, entertainment and other amenities in attractive surroundings with high-quality guest service. We believe that our recent acquisitions have expanded and diversified us from financial and market exposure perspectives, while continuing to mitigate our susceptibility to regional economic downturns, idiosyncratic regulatory changes and increases in regional competition. In 2021, we acquired three casino and resort properties -Bally's Lake Tahoe ,Bally's Evansville andBally's Quad Cities. We also agreed to purchaseTropicana Las Vegas inLas Vegas, Nevada and announced plans to construct a land-based casino inCentre County, Pennsylvania , adding to our land-based casino presence. With the pending acquisition ofTropicana Las Vegas and the completion of construction inCentre County, Pennsylvania , we will own and manage 16 land-based casinos across 11 states.
In addition, we also expanded our interactive business by:
•launching ourBally Sports Network through our partnership with Sinclair, which combines our sports betting technology with Sinclair's expansive footprint. With Bally's brand, the media partnership and the unencumbered skins (gaming licenses) that we have acquired and reserved in our portfolio, we can now provide our customers omni-channel gaming and entertainment across our various physical properties while having a singular online and mobile presence with a brand that is synonymous with gaming, hospitality and entertainment;
•acquiring Gamesys, a leading international online gaming operator that provides gaming entertainment to a global customer base; and
•acquiringBally's Interactive, formerly Bet.Works, and its proprietary technology stack and turnkey solutions, which include marketing, operations, customer service, risk management and compliance. We believe that the Bet.Works acquisition provides us with a suite of advanced omni-channel products, platforms, software and content solutions positioning us to deliver competitive sports betting and iCasino offerings to customers on a national scale. These steps have positioned us to become a leading, full-service, vertically integrated sports betting and iGaming company in the US with physical casinos and online gaming solutions united under a single, leading brand.
Gamesys Acquisition
OnOctober 1, 2021 , we acquired Gamesys, a leadingUK -based global online gaming operator. In connection with the acquisition, Gamesys shareholders received, in the aggregate, 9,773,537 shares of our common stock and$2.08 billion in cash. We believe that Gamesys' proven technology platform will foster our continued buildout of our interactive offerings inNorth America , including real-money gaming options in online sports betting and iGaming. Additionally, unifyingBally's and 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gamesys' player databases and technologies provides us with one of the largest portfolios of omni-channel cross-selling opportunities, consisting of land-based gaming, online sports betting, iCasino, poker, bingo, daily fantasy sports and free-to-play games.

Rhode Island Regulatory Agreement
OnFebruary 17, 2022 , certain of our subsidiaries, theRhode Island Department of Business Regulation ("DBR") and theDivision of Lotteries ("DoL") of theRhode Island Department of Revenue amended and restated our Regulatory Agreement (the "Regulatory Agreement"). The Regulatory Agreement contains financial and other covenants that, among other things, (1) restrict the acquisition of stock and other financial interests in us, (2) relate to the licensing and composition of members of our management and Board of Directors (the "Board"), (3) prohibit certain competitive activities and related-party transactions and (4) restrict our ability to declare or make restricted payments (including dividends), incur additional indebtedness or take certain other actions, if our leverage ratio exceeds 5.50 to 1.00 (in general being gross debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA, each as defined in the Regulatory Agreement). The Regulatory Agreement also provides affirmative obligations, including setting a minimum number of employees that we must employ inRhode Island and providing the DBR and DoL with periodic information updates about us. Among other things, the Regulatory Agreement prohibits us and our subsidiaries from owning, operating, managing or providing gaming specific goods and services to any properties inRhode Island (other thanBally's Twin River andBally's Tiverton ),Massachusetts ,Connecticut orNew Hampshire . A failure to comply with the Regulatory Agreement could subject us to injunctive or monetary relief, payments to theRhode Island regulatory agencies and ultimately the revocation or suspension of our licenses to operate inRhode Island . In addition, our master contracts withRhode Island were extended throughJune 30, 2043 , and allow for consolidation of promotional points betweenBally's Twin River andBally's Tiverton , obligateBally's Twin River to build a 50,000 square foot expansion, obligateBally's Twin River to lease at least 20,000 square feet of commercial space in Providence, and commit us to invest$100 million inRhode Island over this extended term, including an expansion and the addition of new amenities atBally's Twin River .June 2021 legislation enacted inRhode Island authorized a joint venture withInternational Gaming Technology PLC ("IGT") to become a licensed technology provider and supply theState of Rhode Island with all Video Lottery Terminals ("VLTs") at bothBally's Twin River andBally's Tiverton for a 20.5-year period startingJanuary 1, 2023 . IGT will own 60% of the joint venture. As ofJuly 1, 2021 , until the joint venture is operating, we will supply 23% of all VLTs in return for 7% net terminal income from the machines.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted, and could continue to impact, our business in a material manner. Currently, all of our properties are open and operating with minimal restrictions. The pandemic and its consequences dramatically reduced travel and demand for hotel rooms and other casino resort amenities, which had a negative impact on our results. While many restrictions have been relaxed at this point, there is no assurance that a resurgence of future COVID-19 variants will not cause disruption to our business, including the closure of our facilities. In addition, future demand for gaming activities may be negatively impacted by the adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our business could also be impacted if the disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic impact construction projects, including our project inCentre County, Pennsylvania , described above. Key Performance Indicators The main key performance indicators used in managing our business isAdjusted EBITDA and Casinos & Resorts Adjusted EBITDAR . Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings for the Company, or where noted our reporting segments, before, in each case, interest expense, net of interest income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-operating income, acquisition, integration and restructuring expense, share-based compensation, and certain other gains or losses as well as, when presented for our reporting segments, an adjustment related to the allocation of corporate cost among segments. Management utilizes Casinos & Resorts Adjusted EBITDAR which is Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the Company'sCasinos & Resorts segment plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases with GLPI for the real estate assets used in the operation ofBally's Evansville andBally's Dover and the assumption of the lease for real estate and land underlying the operations of theBally's Lake Tahoe property. 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We useAdjusted EBITDA and Casinos and Resorts Adjusted EBITDAR to analyze the performance of our business and it is used as a determining factor for performance based compensation for members of our management team. We useAdjusted EBITDA and Casinos & Resorts Adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a full understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period performance and it is used by some investors and creditors as an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations, including our ability to service debt, and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. These measures are presented because management believes that they are commonly used measures of performance in the gaming industry and that it is considered by many to be key indicators of our operating results. Management believes that while certain items excluded fromAdjusted EBITDA and Casinos & Resorts Adjusted EBITDAR may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluating our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when comparing current performance to prior periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods presented or they may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results.Adjusted EBITDA and Casinos & Resorts Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as an indicator of our performance. In addition,Adjusted EBITDA and Casinos & Resorts Adjusted EBITDAR as used by us may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in our industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.

Segment Performance
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company updated its reportable segments to better align with its strategic growth initiatives in light of recent acquisitions. As a result of this realignment, the Company determined it had three reportable segments:Casinos & Resorts , North America Interactive and International Interactive. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the segment realignment, the Company changed its methodology for allocating certain corporate operating expenses within advertising, general and administrative expense previously reported in "Other" to directly apply such costs to the segment supported. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation. The following table sets forth certain financial information associated with results of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021. Non-gaming revenue includes hotel, food and beverage and retail, entertainment and other revenue. Non-gaming expenses include hotel, food and beverage and retail, entertainment and other expenses. All amounts are before any allocation of corporate costs.

We saw gaming, hotel, food and beverage, and retail, entertainment and other revenues grow, as we were able to operate with less restrictions across our properties compared to the first quarter of 2021 resulting from developments in the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in consumer confidence. In addition, incremental revenues from acquisitions completed after the first quarter of 2021, which included Gamesys,Bally's Evansville ,Bally's Lake Tahoe ,Bally's Quad Cities and several of the North America Interactive acquisitions (collectively, the 2021 Acquisitions"), contributed, in the aggregate,$331.3 million of revenue.
Operating costs and expenses
In the first quarter of 2022, we recorded total operating costs and expenses of$525.8 million , up$363.0 million , or 223.0%, from$162.8 million in the first quarter last year. The change in total operating costs and expenses was driven by fluctuations in our gaming and non-gaming expenses, advertising general and administrative costs, acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses and other operating costs and expenses, each described below. We expect our total operating costs and expenses to increase in 2022 as compared to 2021 as a result of the inclusion of our recent acquisitions, most notably, Gamesys.
Gaming and non-gaming expenses
Gaming expenses for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 increased$172.0 million , or 363.9%, to$219.2 million from$47.3 million in 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of expenses from our 2021 Acquisitions which contributed, in the aggregate,$162.4 million . Non-gaming expenses for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 increased$21.5 million , or 112.1%, to$40.6 million from$19.2 million in the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of expenses from our 2021 Acquisitions which contributed, in the aggregate,$18.4 million .
Advertising, general and administrative
Advertising, general and administrative expense for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 increased$101.1 million , or 125.6%, to$181.6 million from$80.5 million in the same period last year primarily attributable to the inclusion of expenses from our 2021 Acquisitions which contributed, in the aggregate,$85.9 million .
Acquisition, integration and restructuring
We incurred$5.3 million of acquisition, integration and restructuring expense during the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , compared to$12.3 million in the same period last year mainly due to a reduction in costs attributable to the acquisition of Gamesys and our other interactive acquisitions which closed in 2021. 48 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other operating costs and expenses
During the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , the Company recorded Gain from insurance recoveries, net of losses of$10.7 million primarily attributable to insurance proceeds received due to the effects of Hurricane Zeta which made landfall inLouisiana shutting down our Hard Rock Biloxi property for three days during the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, during the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded rebranding expense of$0.3 million and$0.9 million , respectively, in connection with our company rebranding initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 was$78.9 million , an increase of$66.1 million , or 516.9%, compared to the same period last year. The increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to the inclusion of our 2021 Acquisitions, most notably amortization expense from our Gamesys business, which contributed an aggregate$56.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. Income (loss) from operations Income from operations was$22.5 million , or 4.11% as a percentage of total revenue, for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to$29.5 million , or 15.33%, in the same period last year. The change year-over-year was driven by revenue growth resulting from a return in visitation to our properties as COVID-19 restrictions were lifted coupled with a benefit from our 2021 Acquisitions, offset by increased operating expenses.
Other income (expense)
Total other expense decreased$18.8 million to$26.2 million for the first quarter of 2022 from$45.0 million in the same period last year. The decrease in other expense was primarily attributable to$13.4 million of income resulting from a reduction in the naming rights liability for performance warrants associated with our contracts with Sinclair in the first quarter of 2022 compared to expense of$25.9 million due to an increase in the liability in the first quarter of 2021, offset by an increase in interest expense of$25.0 million due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates year-over-year. Refer to Note 2 " Significant Accounting Policies " for further information on the Sinclair performance warrants.
Benefit from income taxes
Benefit from income taxes for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 was$5.6 million compared to$4.8 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 151.2% compared to 31.1% in the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to one-time benefits of$4.9 million recorded during the quarter by Gamesys entities relative to a low pre-tax book loss.
Net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share
Net income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 was$1.9 million , or$0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of$10.7 million , or$0.30 per diluted share, for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 .

Adjusted EBITDA for theCasinos & Resorts segment for the first quarter of 2022 increased$15.6 million , or 26.7%, to$73.8 million from$58.2 million compared to the same prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We are a holding company. Our ability to fund our obligations depends on existing cash on hand, cash flow from our subsidiaries and our ability to raise capital. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities. We assess liquidity in terms of the ability to generate cash or obtain financing in order to fund operating, investing and debt service requirements. Our primary ongoing cash requirements include the funding of operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments in line with our business strategy and debt repayment obligations and interest payments. Our strategy has been to maintain moderate leverage and substantial capital resources in order to take advantage of opportunities, to invest in our businesses and acquire properties at what we believe to be attractive valuations. As such, we have continued to invest in our land-based casino business and began to build on our interactive/iGaming gaming business despite the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that existing cash balances, operating cash flows and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet funding needs for operating, capital expenditure and debt service purposes. Additionally, while we may seek other funding alternatives, we believe existing sources will provide the cash necessary to fund our proposed acquisition ofTropicana Las Vegas . 51
