2022 has been “a strong year” for Boyd Gaming
Keith Smith, President and CEO of Boyd Gaming, emphasized that the fourth quarter was a “strong conclusion to another record year” for the company. Smith said:
“We achieved records for revenue and EBITDAR on both a fourth-quarter and full-year basis, as our operating teams remain focused on growing revenues and building loyalty among our core customers while successfully managing expenses.
Companywide growth in the fourth quarter was driven by strong performances in our Nevada segments, management fees from Sky River and growth in our online business. During the quarter we also made progress advancing our online strategy, completing our acquisition of Pala Interactive while further expanding our sports-betting partnership with FanDuel. And we continued to return significant capital to our shareholders with nearly $600 million in share repurchases and dividends in 2022.”
Smith concluded that 2022 was another strong year for Boyd Gaming, saying, “we remain confident in our operating model and our team’s ability to successfully navigate the year ahead.”
