Items deducted from or added to (loss) earnings from operations to arrive at net (loss) earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders include interest income, interest expense, gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and other, income tax (benefit) expense, and non-controlling interests. Increased interest expense negatively impacted net loss (earnings) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders. In 2024, interest expense increased primarily due to additional properties added to the Company's triple net master lease ("Master Lease") with subsidiaries of VICI Properties Inc. Net loss (earnings) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders also was impacted by the recording of a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets related to the United States resulting in additional income tax expense and, as stated above, the impairment of goodwill at the Nugget during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDAR** decreased by ($4.3) million, or (17%), and by ($11.4) million, or (10%), for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months and year ended December 31, 2023.
