Caesars Entertainment Reveals Quarter 2 Financial Operational Data
Caesars Entertainment Strengthens Financial Position with Debt Reduction and Digital Growth
Caesars Entertainment has announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a robust liquidity position and a continued focus on debt reduction and strategic initiatives.
The company's total available liquidity reached an impressive $3.08 billion, thanks to a combination of cash on hand and unused capacity under its revolving credit facilities. This strong financial position supports ongoing investment in digital initiatives and enhancements across Caesars' land-based properties.
One of the key highlights of the quarter was the successful redemption of $546 million of Caesars' 8.125% senior unsecured notes due in 2027. The company used proceeds from the $225 million monetization of its WSOP seller note to fund this redemption, a move that is expected to reduce annual interest expenses by $44 million. As of June 30, 2025, total outstanding debt amounted to $12.27 billion, with net debt at $11.29 billion, after accounting for cash and cash equivalents of $982 million.
The weighted average cost of debt is about 6.35%, and the nearest debt maturity is in January 2028. Caesars' CFO, Bret Yunker, completed a refinancing transaction in July that will lower annual borrowing costs.
Caesars' digital segment continued to show strong growth, with Adjusted EBITDA doubling year-over-year. Caesars Digital posted revenue of $343 million, marking a 24.3% rise from $276 million in Q2 2024. CEO Tom Reeg announced that the Caesars Digital segment delivered one of its strongest quarters to date.
The growth in online gaming was offset by softer results from the land-based hospitality operations. Caesars experienced softer results from its land-based hospitality operations in Las Vegas, and no specific financial details were provided about the addition of the universal digital wallet and the in-house player account management system introduced in Nevada, which is aimed at improving the overall customer experience.
Additionally, no specific details were provided about the two new properties added to the regional revenues. However, regional revenues grew year-over-year, fueled by the strategic reinvestment in the Caesars Rewards customer database.
Overall, Caesars Entertainment reported total net revenue of $2.9 billion for the quarter, reflecting a 2.9% increase on a comparable basis from the previous year. The management's focus remains on reducing debt and leveraging free cash flow, alongside strategic initiatives to strengthen its digital segment and maintain overall operational performance.
