Guidance from management

Management maintained its EBITDA guidance for 2026 in the range of $210 million to $260 million, indicating confidence in ongoing operational improvements and revenue growth.

What management said

No, I think that's well said. People Inc. today has about 3,600 employees. So we do have the infrastructure to absorb it. As Chris said, we're being really thoughtful about how we do that, and there are definitely some functions that we are picking up IR tax and other areas that we don't have the competency, but feel pretty confident that we can do this thoughtfully and seamlessly.

Happy to answer. I think for those not in the room, the question is really I think how do we think about MGM Japan for the Osaka project for the value of our MGM holding where we own 26% of MGM Resorts and then talk through the dynamics at play in the GM.
