| (1) | Figures are for Grand Victoria Casino (“GV”) for the period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending August 6, 2018 and for Tropicana Entertainment, Inc. (“TEI”) for the period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending September 30, 2018. Such figures are based on interim financial statements and have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors. | |
| (2) | Total figures for 2018 include combined results of operations for ERI, TEI and GV and total figures for 2017 include combined results of operations for ERI, GV, TEI and Isle of Capri Casino (“Isle”) for periods preceding the date that ERI acquired GV, TEI and Isle, as applicable. 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 the operations reported by the Company. | |
| (3) | Figures are for GV and TEI for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and for Isle for four months ended April 30, 2017. In the case of Isle, 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 unaudited internal financial statements and have not been reviewed by the Company's auditors and do not conform to GAAP. | |
| (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. | |
“Eldorado’s record fourth quarter results marked the conclusion of another active and productive year for the Company. The fourth quarter growth was broad based with Adjusted EBITDA rising at 24 of our 28 properties. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA rose 22.0% to $161.3 million on essentially flat revenues as our initiatives to improve operating efficiencies and margins led to a 450 basis point year-over-year improvement in our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin to 24.0%,” said Tom Reeg, Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado.
“In addition to the record financial results we generated over the course of 2018, we undertook a series of actions that we believe will position Eldorado to further enhance shareholder value. First, we continue to benefit from synergies realized from the 2017 Isle of Capri transaction. Our experience in integrating and rationalizing cost structures at acquired properties has resulted in strong and growing contributions from the accretive Grand Victoria Casino and Tropicana Entertainment transactions completed in the 2018 third and fourth quarters, respectively.
“During the year we also established a joint venture with The Cordish Companies to master plan, design and develop a new world-class, mixed-use entertainment and hospitality destination utilizing the significant real estate surrounding our Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park. This joint venture is expected to bring new upscale retail, dining, and entertainment to South Florida and allow us to develop Pompano’s valuable real estate while sharing in the cost to transform the non-casino portion of our South Florida property.
“We also positioned the Company to benefit from the expected expansion of sports wagering and online poker and casino gaming through long term agreements with William Hill and The Stars Group to access our licenses for online sports wagering for real money online gaming and poker operations and, in the case of William Hill, operate our retail sportsbook. In connection with our agreements with William Hill and The Stars Group, we received equity interests in William Hill US, William Hill plc and The Stars Group, and we will also share in revenue generated from betting and online gaming activities. Our partnerships with Cordish, William Hill and The Stars Group are modeled, in part, after our successful joint venture that developed and opened a hotel at Scioto Downs in early 2017 and which has contributed to Scioto’s positive operating results.
“These initiatives exemplify our commitment to enhancing shareholder value through strategic transactions, return-focused property enhancements and opportunistic partnerships to grow free cash flow and further enhance our financial flexibility.”
Return of Capital, Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Pursuant to the Company’s previously-announced $150 million common stock repurchase program, Eldorado repurchased 223,823 shares at an average price of approximately $40.80 per share in the 2018 fourth quarter. The Company has approximately $140.9 million remaining on its current stock repurchase program.
At December 31, 2018, Eldorado had $230.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash. Outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2018 totaled $3.3 billion, including approximately $245.0 million outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility. Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Company paid down approximately $150.0 million of its outstanding indebtedness. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2018 and for the full year totaled $58.3 million and $147.4 million, respectively.

West Region fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased 19.7% to $34.6 million reflecting an Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement of 450 basis points to 25.2%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $28.9 million on an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.7% in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA rose year over year at six of the seven West Region properties.
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 December 31, 2018 decreased approximately 1.9% to $95.8 million compared to $97.6 million in the prior-year period, while operating income rose to $25.1 million from $22.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Midwest Region fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA rose approximately 9.7% to $33.5 million as the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the segment rose 370 basis points to 35.0%. Adjusted EBITDA was up at all six of the Midwest properties year over year.

South Region(Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park, Eldorado Shreveport, Isle of Capri Casino Lula, Lady Luck Casino Vicksburg, Isle of Capri Lake Charles, Trop Casino Greenville and Belle of Baton Rouge Casino & Hotel)
Net revenue for the South Region properties for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 declined approximately 5.9% to $119.6 million compared to $127.0 million in the prior-year period, while operating income (loss) increased to $14.8 million from $(27.9) million in the year-ago quarter.

South Region fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA declined approximately 0.9% to $25.9 million primarily reflecting the impact from a recently enacted smoking ban on the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino & Hotel and the impact of roadway construction which hampered visitation to the Isle of Capri Lake Charles property. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the segment rose 110 basis points to 21.7%.
East Region(Presque Isle Downs and Casino, Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin, Eldorado Scioto Downs Racino, Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort and Tropicana Casino and Resort, Atlantic City)

Central Region Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter rose 16.8% to $33.6 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $28.8 million in the prior-year period as the Central Region’s Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 430 basis points to 28.4%. Adjusted EBITDA increased at all three Central Region properties.
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, selling costs associated with the disposition of properties, proceeds from the terminated sales of Vicksburg and Lake Charles, preopening expenses, business interruption insurance proceeds, real estate tax settlements, other than temporary impairments on investments, impairment charges, equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, (gain) loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, and other non-cash regulatory gaming assessments. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the expense associated with our Master Lease with GLPI as the transaction was accounted for as a financing obligation. 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, payments under our Master Lease 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.

| (1) | In conjunction with the Tropicana Acquisition, we began reporting Adjusted EBITDA after Master Lease Payments. Master Lease Payments represents cash rent payments to GLPI associated with the triple net operating lease entered into on October 1, 2018. Total interest expense related to the Master Lease was $24.4 million for the period from October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. For the initial periods of the Master Lease, cash payments are less than the interest expense recognized due to the accounting treatment of the failed sale-leaseback obligation. The pro forma adjusted revenue to rent ratio (as defined in the Master Lease Agreement) for the properties in the aggregate totaled 2.0:1.0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. |
