Net revenues of $450.6 million increased $13.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $101.1 million increased $7.0 million. Results were primarily driven by record quarterly performance to date by Mohegan Digital, strong slot results at Mohegan Sun, and robust demand supporting growth in non-gaming revenues, including food and beverage and hotel operations, across both Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Pennsylvania. Net income in the current quarter reflects a $279.7 million gain attributed to the sale of the Connecticut Sun.
Prior period amounts have been restated to exclude results of operations of Inspire Integrated Resort Co., Ltd., its parent company MGE Korea Limited, and certain affected subsidiaries, from continuing operations.

Net revenues of $66.8 million decreased $8.3 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million decreased $3.0 million compared with the prior-year period. The decreases are primarily attributable to lower gaming revenue resulting from an adverse swing in table hold in the current versus prior year’s quarter. On a table hold normalized basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.3M. Adjusted EBITDAR of $9.0 million, which excludes real estate rent expense, decreased $3.1 million compared with the prior-year.

Net revenues of $4.5 million decreased $0.7 million compared with the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.7 million was $2.7 million favorable compared with the prior-year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributed to labor savings in the current period related to a workforce reduction in October 2025.

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY
RECONCILIATION OF NON-US GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR Explanation:
Net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and EBITDA before rent expense arising from real estate leases, or EBITDAR, are commonly used measures of performance in the casino and hospitality industry. EBITDA and EBITDAR are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Mohegan historically has evaluated its operating performance with the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA, which as used in this press release, primarily represents EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other items as exhibited in the following reconciliation.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provide additional ways to evaluate Mohegan’s operations and, when viewed with both Mohegan’s GAAP results and the reconciliation provided, Mohegan believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provide a more complete understanding of its financial performance than could be otherwise obtained absent this disclosure. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because: (1) Mohegan believes it enhances an overall understanding of Mohegan’s past and current financial performance; (2) Mohegan believes it is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business in comparison to other operators within the casino and hospitality industry because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR exclude certain items that may not be indicative of Mohegan’s operating results; (3) measures that are comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are often used as an important basis for the valuation of casino and hospitality companies; and (4) Mohegan uses Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate the performance of its operating personnel and management, and uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR as benchmarks to evaluate its operating performance in comparison to its competitors.
The use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR has certain limitations. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, any US GAAP financial measure including net income (as an indicator of Mohegan’s performance) or cash flows provided by operating activities (as an indicator of Mohegan’s liquidity), nor should they be considered as an indicator of Mohegan’s overall financial performance. Mohegan’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR is likely to be different from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, or other similarly titled measurements, used by other casino and hospitality companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR eliminate certain items from net income, such as interest, depreciation and amortization, and rent expense that are items that have been incurred in the past and will continue to be incurred in the future and, therefore, should be considered in the overall evaluation of Mohegan’s results. Mohegan compensates for these limitations by providing relevant disclosures of items excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, both in its reconciliation to the US GAAP financial measure of net income and in its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating its results. Mohegan strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
The reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR is as follows:
