Derivative Instruments
The fair values of interest rate contracts and cross currency swap assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuation inputs are based on estimates using currency spot and forward rates and standard pricing models that consider the value of future cash flows as of the balance sheet date, discounted to a present value using discount factors that match both the time to maturity and currency of the underlying instruments. These standard pricing models utilize inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rate yield curves as well as currency spot and forward rates. When designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss). When not designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value of these contracts are reported within Other non-operating (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of Bally’s Golf Links on September 12, 2023 (Predecessor), the purchase price included future cash payments totaling up to $125 million to the seller, based upon future events, which were uncertain at the time of acquisition. The Company recorded contingent consideration at fair value as a liability on the acquisition date, which was subsequently remeasured at each reporting date within “Other, non-operating expenses, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The contingent consideration was valued at $8.9 million and $123.9 million as of June 30, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Successor), respectively. Level 3 inputs to this valuation approach included the Company’s estimated probabilities of achieving the conditions for payment, expected terms between 1.5 and 3 years, and discount rates between 7.2% and 7.8%. During the first quarter of 2026, the contingency related to $115 million of the $125 million total payments was resolved and paid.
Investment in GLPI Partnership
The Company holds a limited partnership interest in GLP Capital, L.P., the operating partnership of GLPI. The investment is reported at fair value based on Level 2 inputs, with changes to fair value included within Other non-operating (expense) income, net of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Long-Term Debt
The fair value of the Company’s Term Loan Facility and senior notes are estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 measurements. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying amount as it is revolving, variable rate debt, and is also classified as a Level 1 measurement. In the table below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term debt are net of debt issuance costs, debt discounts and fair value adjustments.
