“Our newly acquired properties produced strong results under our ownership, with adjusted EBITDAR growth of nearly six per cent and margin improvement of more than 200 basis points on a combined basis. 

“And we substantially expanded our sports-betting partnership with FanDuel Group, opening sports books at four new locations in the midwest while successfully launching a market-leading mobile betting app in Pennsylvania. 

“Our company continues to deliver strong operating results and we remain focused on executing a disciplined, balanced approach to creating long-term shareholder value.
