1.     Figures are for Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (“Isle”) for the one and four months ended April 30, 2017. Such figures were prepared by the Company to reflect Isle’s unaudited consolidated historical net revenues, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for periods corresponding to ERI's fiscal quarterly calendar. Such figures are based on the unaudited internal financial statements and have not been reviewed by the Company's auditors and do not conform to GAAP.
2. Total figures for 2017 include combined results of operations for Isle and ERI for periods preceding the date that ERI acquired Isle. Such presentation does not conform with GAAP or the Securities and Exchange Commission rules for pro forma presentation; however, we believe that the additional financial information will be helpful to investors in comparing current results with results of prior periods. This is non-GAAP data and should not be considered a substitute for data prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the results of operations reported by the Company.
3. The prior period presentation has been adjusted for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” effective January 1, 2018 utilizing the full retrospective transition method. See reconciliation table on the last page of this release for further details.
4. Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measurement and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it is a widely used measure of operating performance in the gaming industry. See “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures” below for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (loss), which the Company believes is the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 

“In the second quarter, Adjusted EBITDA rose at 16 of our 20 properties as all four of our property reporting segments generated year-over-year gains including double digit Adjusted EBITDA growth in our East, West and South segments,” said Gary Carano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado. “On a consolidated basis, second quarter Adjusted EBITDA rose 12.7% to $118.0 million, as our property level Adjusted EBITDA margin rose 290 basis points to 27.5% and our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 300 basis points to 25.8%.

“Our strong margin growth, including property level and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin growth in every quarter since our May 2017 acquisition of Isle of Capri, reflects the benefit of our focus on disciplined marketing and promotion, advertising, food and beverage and labor expense management. Our record results also reflect success in driving better customer experiences across our property portfolio through an emphasis on market-leading guest services and targeted return-focused property enhancement projects. With the bulk of our planned major capital investments and enhancements complete in Reno, our recent rebranding of the three-property operations across six contiguous city blocks as ‘THE ROW’ has been met with an enthusiastic response from our guests. THE ROW leverages our integrated design and property enhancements and amplifies the convenience, amenities, entertainment and quality of Eldorado Resort Casino, Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno and Circus Circus Reno. Our recent investments in the Reno market have resulted in revenue improvements with growth in high margin, non-gaming revenue channels. This fall THE ROW will open the The Spa at Silver Legacy, a 21,000 square foot spa that will offer our guests the largest relaxation, beauty, fitness and retail treatment facility in northern Nevada.

“Additional projects scheduled to be completed over the balance of this year include the renovation of approximately 400 rooms at Silver Legacy and the opening of Brew Brothers restaurants at Isle Casino Waterloo and Isle of Capri Casino Boonville. Following the opening of the two new Brew Brothers locations, the successful microbrew concept will be featured at five of our properties. In addition, renovations to all 402 rooms at our Black Hawk properties will begin at the end of the year and are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.

“We are pleased with our 2018 results to date and expect that the Grand Victoria Casino and pending Tropicana Entertainment acquisitions, combined with the strong operations of our existing properties, will position us for additional growth in the future as we continue to pursue opportunities to create additional value for shareholders.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At June 30, 2018, Eldorado had $202.0 million in cash and cash equivalents excluding restricted cash. Outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 2018 totaled $2.2 billion, with no amounts outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility. Capital expenditures in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 totaled $33.9 million and $55.2 million, respectively.

Summary of 2018 Second Quarter Region Results

The property results for Presque Isle Downs and Casino and Lady Luck Nemacolin are included in operations until the announced transactions for the divestitures of these properties are completed which is expected to be in the 2018 fourth quarter.

West Region (THE ROW, Isle Casino Hotel Black Hawk and Lady Luck Casino Black Hawk)

Net revenue for the West Region properties for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately 6.4% to $117.9 million compared to $110.8 million in the prior-year period, while operating income rose to $21.9 million from $19.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.3% to $31.8 million reflecting an Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement of 270 basis points to 26.9%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $26.8 million on an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.2% in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased year over year at THE ROW and for the combined operations in Black Hawk, with the combined Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Black Hawk properties exceeding 30% for the fourth consecutive quarter.

Midwest Region (Isle Casino Waterloo, Isle Casino Bettendorf, Isle of Capri Casino Boonville, Isle Casino Cape Girardeau, Lady Luck Casino Caruthersville and Isle of Capri Casino Kansas City)

Net revenue for the Midwest Region properties for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 decreased approximately 3.2% to $100.6 million compared to $103.9 million in the prior-year period, while operating income rose to $27.4 million from $26.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA rose approximately 8.4% to $35.9 million as the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the segment rose 380 basis points to 35.7%. Adjusted EBITDA for the Midwest Region in the prior-year period was $33.1 million reflecting an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 31.9%.

South Region (Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park, Eldorado Shreveport, Isle of Capri Casino Lula, Lady Luck Casino Vicksburg and Isle of Capri Lake Charles)

Net revenue for the South Region properties for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 declined approximately 7.0% to $112.2 million compared to $120.7 million in the prior-year period, while operating income increased to $20.6 million from $18.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 10.2% to $28.4 million as the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the segment rose 400 basis points to 25.3%. Adjusted EBITDA for the South Region in the prior-year period was $25.8 million reflecting an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.4%. Adjusted EBITDA increased year over year at four of the five South Region properties including Isle of Capri Lake Charles which saw an Adjusted EBITDA increase of more than 23% as the Company continues to execute on opportunities for significant improvement following the termination of the sale agreement for the property in the 2017 fourth quarter. Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park and Isle of Capri Casino Lula also both generated double digit Adjusted EBITDA growth in the current quarter.

East Region (Presque Isle Downs and Casino, Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin, Eldorado Scioto Downs Racino and Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort)

Net revenue for the East Region properties for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately 2.7% to $126.0 million compared to $122.6 million in the prior-year period, while operating income grew to $24.4 million from $18.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the East Region rose 10.4% to $29.4 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $26.6 million in the prior-year period as the East Region’s Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 160 basis points to 23.3%. Eldorado Scioto Downs generated Adjusted EBITDA growth for the fourteenth consecutive quarter.

Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), a non-GAAP financial measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry and we believe that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results. Management has historically used Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a full understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, transaction expenses, severance expense, costs associated with the Presque Isle Downs, Vicksburg and Lake Charles sales, impairment charges, equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates, (gain) loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, and other non-cash regulatory gaming assessments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), is unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, debt principal repayments and certain regulatory gaming assessments, which can be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. Other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as the definitions used in any of our debt agreements.

2. Total figures for 2017 include combined results of operations for Isle and the Company for periods preceding the date that the Company acquired Isle. Such presentation does not conform with GAAP or the Securities and Exchange Commission rules for proforma presentation; however, we believe that the additional financial information will be helpful to investors in comparing current results with results of prior periods. This is non-GAAP data and should not be considered a substitute for data prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the results of operations reported by the Company.
