Litigation – From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising from normal business operations. The Company does not expect the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

The Company had a contingent liability related to a series of tax audits conducted by the Polish IRS related to the calculation and payment of personal income tax by CPL employees for periods ranging from 2007 to 2013. The Polish IRS asserted that CPL should calculate, collect and remit to the Polish IRS personal income tax on tips received by CPL employees from casino customers and prevailed in several court challenges by CPL. Through December 31, 2024, CPL has paid PLN 14.3 million ($4.2 million) to the Polish IRS related to these audits.

The statute of limitations expired on all periods in which CPL calculated personal income tax in which the Polish IRS disagreed. In September 2022, the Polish IRS reimbursed PLN 1.8 million ($0.4 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2022) plus interest, after CPL prevailed in a court challenge of a 2011 tax audit. The Company recorded the Polish IRS reimbursement to gain on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other on its consolidated statement of (loss) earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022. Any additional tax obligations are not probable or estimable and no additional future tax obligations as a result of these matters are expected.

Distribution to Non-Controlling Interest – The Company purchased a portion of its ownership interest in CDR in November 2013. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of its ownership interest in CDR, the non-controlling shareholders built infrastructure in the land surrounding CDR. When funds for the use of this infrastructure are received by CDR from unrelated parties, they are distributed to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders through non-controlling interest. The Company distributed $1.1 million, $3.5 million and $2.0 million related to the infrastructure to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Employee Benefit Plans – The Company provides its employees in the United States with a 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (the “401K Plan”).

Participants become fully vested in employer contributions over a six year period. The Company contributed $1.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
