Caesars' Casino Demand, Digital Profits, and Liquidity Profile Improving Despite Economic Angst
Business Strategy and Outlook
As a result of the acquisition of the legacy Caesars business by Eldorado (closed July 2020), we estimate Caesars holds more than a 10% revenue share of the domestic casino gaming market. The acquisition roughly doubled the company’s U.S. portfolio to about 50 properties while lifting its loyalty membership to over 60 million from 55 million (loyalty stood at 65 million at 2021's end). Caesars has realized over $1 billion in combined sales and cost synergies from its merger with Eldorado, representing around a 30% increase to pro forma 2019 EBITDAR. Before this recent combination, legacy Eldorado successfully integrated the Isle and Tropicana acquisitions in 2017 and 2018, respectively, with both deals driving about a 30% return on investment, based on our calculation.
