Risk Factors
Boyd Gaming’s main risk categories are Finance & Corporate and Legal & Regulatory, which account for five risks each of the total 18 risks identified.
The next major Boyd Gaming risk falls under the Macro & Political category, which accounts for four risks.
A recently added risk in this category was explained by the company to be “current and future economic, capital and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to service our substantial indebtedness and significant financial commitments or make planned expenditures.”
Boyd Gaming advised investors that it needs to raise capital from the stock market or generate adequate cash flow to service its massive debts and other significant financial obligations like rent payments under lease contracts.
Furthermore, the company notified investors that the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened global economic circumstances and added to financial volatility. Also, the Federal Reserve is projected to hike interest rates in the near future, raising the cost of financing and affecting the company’s operating results.
Given the foregoing concerns, Boyd Gaming cautions investors that the business may be unable to acquire sufficient cash on acceptable terms from the market, and as a result, it may be forced to sell assets or reduce capital expenditures and other investments.
