The headline driver was broad-based property-level strength, highlighted by the Las Vegas Locals segment delivering its sharpest quarterly revenue growth in over two years, reaching $229.09 million, while the Online segment surged to $173.05 million from $129.93 million as the company's casino gaming business gained momentum. Total Adjusted EBITDAR rose to $357.96 million from $344.19 million, with property-level margins again holding above 40%. Adding further financial firepower to the quarter's story, Boyd completed the sale of its 5% equity stake in FanDuel to Flutter for $1.75 billion, with proceeds earmarked for debt reduction and shareholder returns, including a freshly expanded $500 million share repurchase authorization that brings the remaining buyback capacity to approximately $707 million.

“Our Company delivered a strong performance in the second quarter, with broad-based growth across our operating segments, including our Online and Managed segments. We achieved our strongest property-level revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR growth in more than three years, with property-level margins once again exceeding 40%. This growth was supported by continued strength in play from our core customers, as well as improvements in retail play. Looking ahead, the recently announced transaction to sell our equity stake in FanDuel will further strengthen the Company's financial position as we continue to invest in our properties, pursue growth opportunities, return capital to shareholders and maintain a strong balance sheet – a strategy that continues to drive long-term shareholder value.”
