Net revenues of $300.4 million increased $3.1 million compared with the prior-year period, primarily due to higher non-gaming revenues. The non-gaming growth was driven by strong entertainment, food and beverage revenues in the period. Adjusted EBITDA of $79.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.5% were flat compared with the prior-year period.

Net revenues of $108.1 million increased $37.3 million compared with the prior-year period, primarily driven by Mohegan INSPIRE. Adjusted EBITDA loss of $16.6 million was unfavorable, primarily due to operating costs related to the opening of Mohegan INSPIRE and a $5.0 million non-controlling interest adjustment related to Niagara Resorts. Excluding the adjustment for non-controlling interest, Adjusted EBITDA loss would have been $11.6 million, which we believe presents a more accurate comparison with prior periods.

Net revenues of $38.8 million increased $16.1 million compared with the prior-year period, partially due to $8.8 million in iGaming tax reimbursements from our iGaming partners being included as an increase to both net revenues and expenses in the current year. Adjusted EBITDA of $20.2 million was $2.1 million favorable compared with the prior-year period, as Mohegan Digital continues to experience strong growth.
In addition, Mohegan Digital's prior-year results include a favorable one-time adjustment related to the revenue share allocation from our digital gaming partner.
