Century Casinos Sells Two Alberta Racetracks in Definitive Agreement
CNTY is trading near its 52-week low of $1.09 (5.3% above the low) on light trading volume (0.4× avg).
Summary
Century Casinos has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Century Mile and Century Downs racetracks in Alberta, Canada, including the racing and gaming operations, to Highfield Investment for $16.4 million. The company plans to use the proceeds from the transaction to reduce indebtedness. The sale is a material divestiture for a company with a market cap around $31 million and recent liquidity strain, providing a potential cash infusion and reducing exposure to underperforming Canadian assets. This follows Q2 results that showed a net loss and covenant non-compliance, making asset sales a key deleveraging step. Annual rent will be reduced by about $7.5 million and closing is expected in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027.
