Certain Financial Information

Preliminary Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022

Although the results of operations for the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2022 are not yet available, the following reflects our current expectations regarding the range of net revenues, net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the same period ended December 31, 2021. The estimates set forth below are based solely on currently available information. Due to the close proximity to the end of the current reporting period, Caesars has not finalized its financial statement closing process for the three months ended December 31, 2022. During this process, Caesars may identify items that would require it to make adjustments to the expected preliminary operating results described below. In addition to its routine closing procedures, Caesars has not completed its annual tax provision or reached its final conclusions related to the assumptions used in determining the estimated fair value of its indefinite lived intangible assets and reporting units with associated goodwill. The significance of potential adjustments to this preliminary financial information could result in actual net income (loss) to be outside of the ranges provided for the three months ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the discussion below constitutes forward-looking statements and, therefore, we caution you that these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including possible adjustments and the risk factors highlighted in the Company’s other public filings and the more detailed information included or referred to under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Report and the other information included in the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein and therein.

Adjusted EBITDA (defined herein), a non-GAAP financial measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry and we believe that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding our ongoing operating results. Management has historically used Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items that are not necessary to operate our business is necessary to provide a full understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income or interest expense, net of interest capitalized, (benefit) provision for income taxes, (gain) loss on investments and marketable securities, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment charges, equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, (gain) loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, changes in the fair value of certain derivatives, and transaction costs associated with our acquisitions and divestitures such as (gain) loss on sale, sign-on and retention bonuses, severance expense, business integration and optimization costs, contract exit or termination costs, and certain litigation awards or regulatory settlements. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the expense associated with certain of our leases as these transactions were accounted for as financing obligations and the associated expense is included in interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). It is

unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, debt principal repayments, payments under our leases with affiliates of GLPI and VICI Properties, Inc. and certain regulatory gaming assessments, which can be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. Other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as the definitions used in any of our debt agreements. Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
