The net loss per share increased to $0.45.<\/p>\n Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, the co-CEO’s said on Century Casinos revenue: “We anticipated a challenging first quarter due to continuing construction disruptions and the closure of three of our casinos in Poland for some or all of the quarter.<\/p>\n \u201cThe quarter was further impacted by disruptions from severe weather at the majority of our US casinos. Cash payments of $12.2m for taxes related to the September 2023 sale and leaseback of our Canada properties and a $3.4m one-time principal paydown of debt as well as $18.4m in property and equipment purchases decreased our overall cash balance,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n With individual jurisdictions in mind, the revenue from US operations grew 45% to $96m. Furthermore, the Canadian operations increased by 11% to $18.3m.<\/p>\n Naturally, the closure of their Polish venues saw a decrease of 15% to $21.6m. There was a 77% fall of Cooperate and Other to $13,000.<\/p>\n In terms of earnings, they avoided the above trend. Loss from the US changed 41% to $8.5m, Poland fell 101% to $22,000 and Corporate and Other by 67%, equating to $4.2m.<\/p>\n Haitzmann and Hoetzinger went on to say: “Our positive outlook for the second half of 2024 into 2025 remains unchanged. Our increased spend on capital projects throughout our properties is expected to end over the summer.”<\/p>\nCentury Casinos Revenue<\/h2>\n
