Ballys Incorporated, a swiftly expanding firm engaged in all facets of the entertainment sector, has published its preliminary financial figures for the quarter concluding June 30, 2021. The corporation also disclosed revised financial stipulations for its previously declared purchase of Gamesys Group PLC. Bally’s projects consolidated earnings to fall between $258 million and $268 million, with modified EBITDA ranging from $80 million to $84 million. This contrasts with $28.9 million in earnings for the corresponding timeframe last year and a rectified EBITDA of negative $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. Bally’s executive team posits that adjusted EBITDA constitutes a critical indicator in gauging the company’s operational efficacy. Both recurring and non-recurring elements are incorporated into this computation to furnish the most precise evaluation of the company’s performance across distinct periods.
Fueled by superior-than-anticipated operational outcomes in both its brick-and-mortar casinos and digital ventures, Bally’s no longer intends to issue supplementary common stock or utilize its gaming and hospitality assets to fund the Gamesys acquisition.
Bally’s has obtained interim financing with Deutsche Bank AG London Branch, Goldman Sachs USA, and Barclays Bank PLC for the Gamesys transaction, fulfilling the regulatory mandates in the UK. The firm aspires to refinance the bridge loan and existing debt for both Bally’s and Gamesys through one or multiple capital market dealings.
The firm is aiming to raise a significant amount of capital – think bond issuances, encompassing both public and private placements, and perhaps even a substantial credit facility from accommodating financial institutions.
Naturally, there are contingencies. They are currently awaiting formal approval from regulatory bodies and navigating the customary procedures. However, should everything proceed as anticipated (though realistically, when does it ever?), they aspire to finalize this entire endeavor by years end.
