| (2) | Eldorado Reno’s increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2015 reflects the reallocation of corporate expenses. If corporate expenses had been reallocated in the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the percentage increase in Eldorado Reno’s Adjusted EBITDA would have been 225%. | |
| (3) | The reduction in Eldorado Shreveport’s Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is partially attributable to the allocation of $0.3 million of expenses that were not allocated in the first quarter 2014 | |
| (4) | Includes corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense, subsequent to the Merger Date related to ERI totaling $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and MTR Gaming’s corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense, totaling $2.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. | |
| (5) | Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principle (“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 net (loss) income, which the Company believes is the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. | |
| (6) | Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes net charges of $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which include gain on sale or disposition of property, acquisition charges and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates. | |
| (7) | The combined basis reflects operations of MTR for periods prior to the merger combined with the operations of Eldorado Resorts, LLC. Such presentation does not conform with GAAP or the Securities and Exchange Commission rules for pro forma presentation; however, we have included the combined information because we believe it provides a meaningful comparison for the periods presented. | |
“Our first quarter results reflect initial progress toward implementing Eldorado’s operating strategies across the newly acquired MTR Gaming properties while further enhancing the product and service offerings across our entire portfolio,” said Gary Carano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado. “We believe future periods will reflect the results of our current operating and facility enhancement initiatives and we remain excited about our prospects going forward.
“First quarter visitation and spend per visit were stronger in January and February than the prior-year period, while business levels were softer in March. While certain of the MTR properties remain challenged by new competition, operating improvements and the exercise of financial discipline allowed us to drive record profitability at Scioto Downs, strong results at Eldorado Reno and solid returns in Shreveport. We are encouraged that April visitation and business volumes returned to levels similar to January and February and remain cautiously optimistic regarding the sustainability of a rebound in overall regional gaming revenue trends.
“We continue to make good progress with the 2015 property enhancement strategy that is being implemented across the acquired MTR properties and expect these efforts to deliver attractive returns. In particular, we are working diligently to bring Eldorado’s legacy of hospitality and service excellence to the MTR properties through new and upgraded food and beverage offerings, the relocation of certain members of the Company’s management team to be closer to our newest operations and the addition of new amenities to address certain market-specific challenges or opportunities. In this regard, construction at Scioto Downs of The Brew Brothers, a new $5.9 million microbrewery and restaurant is on budget and on schedule to open by the fourth quarter of 2015. Similarly, the five phase design and facility enhancement program underway at Presque Isle Downs & Casino and budgeted at $5.0 million remains on schedule to be completed by year-end.
“Eldorado’s operating and facility enhancement initiatives are being complemented by the previously announced cost savings program which has been implemented across the Company. In total, we expect to reduce expenses by more than $5 million on an annualized basis and expect initial benefits from this initiative to be reflected in our second quarter operating results. Also, following an assessment of promotional activities, we will focus on strengthening margins through new strategies designed to drive profitable revenue at all properties.”
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
At March 31, 2015, Eldorado had $71.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.4 million in restricted cash and contractual debt totaling $728.7 million.
Tom Reeg, President of Eldorado, added, “Our efforts to re-engineer our capital structure are ongoing and in addition to our intention to lower our weighted average cost of capital, we also expect to allocate free cash flow from operations to reduce leverage. We believe that the combination of our facility enhancements and operational initiatives, including the application of proven Eldorado management practices across the MTR properties, combined with our capital structure initiatives will drive long-term free cash flow growth that supports our goal of enhancing shareholder value.”

Summary of 2015 First Quarter Property Results and Planned 2015 Enhancements
Nevada
Net revenues of $23.8 million at Eldorado Reno for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were up 6.0% from the prior year period while Adjusted EBITDA rose to $2.4 million.
Ongoing work to remodel over 200 rooms in the Skyline Tower at Eldorado Resort Casino Reno continues on schedule and on budget. The Company expects to complete the project in the second quarter of 2015 at a total cost of $3.1 million.
Net revenues at Silver Legacy, a joint venture between Eldorado and MGM Resorts International, increased 0.3% to $27.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $27.6 million in the first quarter of 2014. Silver Legacy’s results, which are included in the Company’s income statement as equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates, are not consolidated in Eldorado’s income statement and are not included in Adjusted EBITDA.
In Reno, the Company’s property-level results continue to reflect the region’s ongoing economic resurgence which we expect will continue to build going forward. A number of marquis companies – including Tesla, Apple, Zulily, eBay, Urban Outfitters, Petco and Amazon – have established or have announced plans to establish operations in the Reno area and we expect that the Reno area will experience job growth as these and other employers are attracted to Reno’s favorable tax and business environment. As the operator of one of downtown Reno’s leading resort/hotels, Eldorado stands positioned to benefit from improvement in the Reno economy in the coming quarters, particularly as the Company completes the Skyline Tower remodel.
Ohio
Net revenues at Scioto Downs Racino increased 5.4% to a record $37.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 from $35.8 million in the first quarter of 2014. First quarter 2015 Adjusted EBITDA from the property increased 8.9% to a record $13.1 million from $12.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2014. The property benefited from enhancements such as the December 2014 addition of an outdoor smoking patio with 60 video lottery terminals (“VLTs”) which are performing at a level substantially above the existing gaming floor. Adjusted EBITDA benefited from the improved top-line performance as well as from a more measured use of promotional spending.
Construction on The Brew Brothers, a new $5.9 million microbrewery and restaurant, continues with an expected opening in the fourth quarter of 2015. Eldorado is also moving forward with a Phase II property expansion which will include the opening of a new bakery and a refresh of the Dash Cafe by the fourth quarter of 2015.
West Virginia
Net revenues at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort declined 13.6% to $39.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 from $45.9 million in the first quarter of 2014, reflecting the continued competitive impact of a new racino in eastern Ohio which opened in the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA from the property declined 29.0% to $5.1 million from $7.2 million in the comparable quarter of 2014.
Eldorado is constructing and will open an outdoor smoking patio with VLTs and gaming tables in anticipation of the county-wide ban on smoking in public places that is scheduled to be implemented on July 1, 2015. The Company expects the new gaming area, scheduled to open in time for the smoking ban, to include more than 200 VLTs and 6 gaming tables.
Pennsylvania
Net revenues at Presque Isle Downs & Casino declined 4.4% to $31.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 from $33.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 14.2% to $3.5 million from $4.1 million in the comparable quarter of 2014.
Eldorado is currently investing approximately $5.0 million to upgrade Presque Isle as part of its commitment to food, beverage and hospitality excellence. This investment contemplates the reconfiguration of the gaming floor to allow for a new center bar with flat-screen televisions and sound and light features as well as the renovation of the high-limit gaming area, a full redesign of the property’s La Bonne Vie Steakhouse entrance and interior, an upgraded exterior façade and a refresh of the existing casino bar. Eldorado expects to complete these upgrades and renovations by the third quarter of 2015. The Company also plans to replace 115 slot machines at Presque Isle Downs with the latest offerings following the reconfiguration of the casino floor.
Louisiana
Net revenues at Eldorado Shreveport were essentially flat at $34.6 million in the first quarter of 2015, with the quarter’s strong start offset by a weaker March. Adjusted EBITDA from the property declined to 5.8% to $7.1 million from $7.6 million in the comparable quarter of 2014. The Adjusted EBITDA decline was driven primarily by the allocation to the property of corporate expenses such as bonus accruals, shared services and public company costs as a result of the MTR acquisition. Excluding the changes to corporate expense allocations, Adjusted EBITDA at Eldorado Shreveport would have been approximately flat with the year ago period.
In April, the property hosted gaming industry legend Jack Binion for a private meet and greet, dinner and charity function in late April, which was extremely well-received by our players.
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. Adjusted EBITDA represents (losses) earnings before interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, corporate management fee, (loss) gain on the sale or disposal of property, other regulatory gaming assessment costs, loss on asset impairment, acquisition/strategic transaction costs to the extent that such items existed in the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with U.S. 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.
