The earnings call reveals mixed signals: American Place shows revenue and EBITDA growth, but Chamonix is flat with cost synergies. Silver Slipper faces revenue decline, and external factors impact Grand Lodge Casino. The Q&A highlights cost-saving measures and new marketing strategies, but regulatory and construction delays pose risks. Overall, the company's stable financial performance and optimistic management tone are offset by uncertainties, leading to a neutral sentiment.
American Place Revenue $30.7 million, up about 13% year-over-year. The increase is attributed to improved customer awareness and fine-tuning of amenities, such as converting underutilized spaces into a comedy club and poker room.
American Place Adjusted Property EBITDA $8.9 million, up 17% year-over-year. Growth is driven by increased customer awareness and operational improvements.
Chamonix Revenue $11.6 million, virtually flat compared to the first quarter of 2025. However, operating expenses were reduced by $1.2 million sequentially, implying nearly $5 million of annual cost synergies. Cost reductions were achieved through improved labor controls and scheduling.
Silver Slipper Revenue Down $1.6 million year-over-year. The decline is due to reduced over-comping levels and a temporary parking garage closure during a key holiday weekend.
Silver Slipper Adjusted Property EBITDA Would have been flat year-over-year except for a one-time noncash accounting item.
Temporary American Place Facility: Achieved record revenue of $30.7 million in Q2 2025, up 13%, and record adjusted property EBITDA of $8.9 million, up 17%. Customer awareness and database sign-ups (107,000+) are driving growth. New amenities like a comedy club and a poker room are being added.
Chamonix Casino: Gaming revenue is growing without significantly impacting competitors, indicating an undersaturated market. Cost structure improvements led to $1.2 million lower operating expenses in Q2 2025 compared to Q1 2025, implying $5 million annual cost synergies. EBITDA positive in July 2025.
Cripple Creek Market: Chamonix Casino is the first high-quality gaming product in the area, addressing a previously underserved market. Awareness is growing, and the market remains undersaturated.
Indiana License Relocation: A study is underway to evaluate the benefits of relocating a casino license in Indiana, with Full House Resorts as a potential candidate.
Cost Management at Chamonix: Implemented new labor controls and scheduling improvements, reducing unnecessary overtime and achieving significant cost savings.
Silver Slipper Parking Garage Issue: Addressed a structural problem in the parking garage, which temporarily impacted operations during a key weekend.
Debt Refinancing: Monitoring high-yield debt markets for refinancing opportunities to fund the permanent American Place facility. Construction must begin by 2027.
Grand Lodge Casino Management: Hired a new General Manager with expertise in player development and casino operations to improve performance.
Debt Market Conditions: The company is facing challenges in refinancing its existing debt for the permanent American Place facility. The high-yield debt market is currently volatile, with limited windows of opportunity for favorable financing. Delays in securing financing could impact the construction timeline and operational plans.
Operational Challenges at Chamonix: The Chamonix property is experiencing low midweek hotel occupancy, leading to inefficiencies in operating costs. The lack of an effective sales force for group bookings and conventions has exacerbated this issue, though new hires are expected to address it over time.
Parking Garage Issue at Silver Slipper: A structural problem in the parking garage at Silver Slipper led to its temporary closure during a key holiday weekend, disrupting operations and potentially impacting revenue.
Competitive and Market Awareness Challenges: Both American Place and Chamonix are relatively new properties requiring significant efforts to build market awareness and customer base. This is a time-intensive process that could delay revenue growth.
Regulatory Approvals for Poker Room: The opening of a new poker room at American Place is pending regulatory approval, which could delay its contribution to revenue growth.
Impact of External Property Developments: The Grand Lodge Casino in Tahoe is affected by ongoing construction and upgrades by the property owner, reducing available amenities and impacting high-end customer traffic.
American Place EBITDA Growth: For 2025, the company expects approximately 20% growth in EBITDA at American Place, with July alone showing a 30% increase.
Chamonix EBITDA and Revenue Growth: Chamonix is expected to be EBITDA positive for the third quarter of 2025 and aims to maintain positive cash flow thereafter. Gaming revenue continues to grow, and the market is considered undersaturated, indicating further growth potential.
Debt Refinancing and Construction Timeline: The company is monitoring the bond market for refinancing opportunities to fund the permanent American Place facility. Construction is planned to begin this year to meet the August 2027 deadline, with potential for an extension if necessary.
Chamonix Hotel Occupancy Strategy: Efforts are underway to improve midweek hotel occupancy through a newly hired sales force focused on meetings and conventions. This is expected to enhance profitability over time.
Indiana License Relocation Study: A state-funded study is underway to evaluate the benefits of relocating the Indiana casino license, with Full House Resorts positioned as a likely candidate for relocation.
