Bally’s (BALY) expects to generate full year revenue in a range of $2.5B to $2.7B vs. $2.66B consensus and adjusted EBITDAR in a range of $655M to $695M. The full year guidance was noted to include the impact of severe winter weather on January results in the Casinos & Resorts segment followed by stabilization thus far in February, as well as the impact the closure of the Tropicana Las Vegas will have on the 2024 year-over-year comparisons. The outlook also includes continued growth in the International Interactive business and the launch of iGaming in Rhode Island in our North America Interactive segment.
