(1)   Figures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 include the operations of Silver Legacy and Circus Circus Reno, which were acquired by ERI on November 24, 2015, as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2015. 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.
(2)   Effective January 1, 2016, the Ohio Lottery Commission enacted a regulatory change which resulted in the establishment of a $1.0 million progressive slot liability and a corresponding decrease in net slot win in Q1 2016. The changes are non-cash and related to prior years. If the regulatory change didn’t take place, net revenues at Scioto Downs would have increased 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The net non-cash impact to Adjusted EBITDA was $0.6 million and that amount is added back to Scioto Downs’ Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
(3)   Corporate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 excludes severance expense of $1.5 million.
(4)   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 operating income (loss), which the Company believes is the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
     

“Significant growth related to Eldorado’s expanded presence in Reno and our ongoing success with initiatives to expand operating margins resulted in our fourth consecutive quarter of year over year operating income growth and our fifth consecutive quarter of year over year Adjusted EBITDA growth despite relatively flat revenue,” said Gary Carano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado. “For the 2016 second quarter, Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.1%, pro forma for the Reno acquisition, while our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin rose 50 basis points to 20.2%, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of EBITDA margin increases.

“Our acquisition last November of Reno’s Circus Circus and the 50% interest in Silver Legacy we did not already own continues to be a catalyst for our operating performance. In addition to the benefit from the revenue and cost synergies we have already implemented at our RenoTri-Properties, we are also benefiting from the growing economic strength in the Reno market driven by recent investments, most notably by Tesla and Switch, the rebound of housing prices, expanded airline service into and out of the city and a lower unemployment rate in the region. Reflecting these factors, second quarter net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA at our Reno Tri-Properties rose 9.4% and 32.0%, respectively. Eldorado Scioto Downs remains another solid success story as we increased the property’s market share in the second quarter and grew net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the sixth consecutive quarter.

“During the second quarter, Eldorado continued to execute on its strategies for return-focused facility enhancements with the opening of The Brew Brothers restaurant at Presque Isle Downs in May and the second smoking patio at Eldorado Scioto Downs on June 30. Following the successful May opening of The Brew Brothers at Presque Isle Downs, early in the third quarter we added a new escalator to the property which takes guests from the casino floor up to the restaurant. The escalator has improved traffic flow at the property and the addition of TheBrew Brothers concept at Presque Isle Downs has been well received by our players. In addition, a new smoking patio at Eldorado Scioto Downs opened with 119 additional VLTs and a casino bar, bringing our total VLT count in both our smoking patios to 201 units. Work continues across the Reno Tri-Properties to finalize budgets and plans to enhance our guests’ experiences, including our previously announced plans for room renovations at Circus Circus Reno and new food and beverage and other property amenities. Finally, early in the third quarter we named Gregg Carano General Manager of Mountaineer CasinoRacetrack & Resort. Most recently, Gregg served as Senior Vice President of Food and Beverage for Eldorado Resorts and he previously served as General Manager of Circus Circus Reno and General Manager of Eldorado Resort Casino Reno.

“As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are very excited about the benefit these facility enhancement projects will provide to our guests and remain focused on the implementation of operating strategies that we expect will deliver additional value for our shareholders.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At June 30, 2016, Eldorado had $37.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.9 million in restricted cash. Outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 2016 totaled $817.8 million, including $22.0 million outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2016 totaled $9.9 million and $20.5 million in the first half of the year. The Company continues to anticipate 2016 full-year capital expenditures of $50 million, with approximately $15 million allocated to project cap-ex and the remaining $35 million for maintenance cap-ex.

“We continue to successfully implement initiatives that drive higher free cash flow which is being allocated to reduce our debt and leverage,” said Tom Reeg, President and Chief Financial Officer of Eldorado. “Reflecting our success with these strategies, we paid down $38.1 million of debt in the second quarter, bringing total debt reduction in the first half of 2016 to $73.6 million, with our trailing twelve month consolidated gross leverage ratio now at 4.9x.”

Summary of 2016 Second Quarter Property Results and Facility Enhancements

Nevada

Net revenue at the Reno Tri-Properties for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased 9.4% over the prior-year period to $84.2 million, with operating income increasing 26.9% to $13.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $18.9 million growing 32.0% from the same period in 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 380 basis points in the second quarter to 22.5%. The Adjusted EBITDA improvement reflects the leverage in the Tri-Properties operating model as the year-over-year increase in all of the complex’s volume indicators resulted in improved flow through of revenue to adjusted EBITDA. Gaming revenue benefited from increases in both coin-in and table drop and non-gaming revenues continued to increase with RevPAR up 20.1%. The consolidation of the Tri-Properties continues with ongoing revenue and expense synergy strategies being implemented.

Louisiana

Net revenue at Eldorado Shreveport declined 7.4% to $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $34.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 while operating income decreased 8.5% to $5.5 million over the same time period. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6.2% to $7.5 million from $7.9 million in the comparable quarter of 2015. The property experienced lower than historical average table game hold during the quarter which contributed to the decline in net revenues, which was partly offset by a 2.6% increase in non-gaming revenues. The Shreveport market continued to be impacted by weakness in the energy sector in the second quarter.

Eastern Properties

Net revenue at Eldorado Scioto Downs increased 4.2% to $42.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $40.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 with operating income declining 0.7% to $10.4 million over the same time period. Scioto Downs’ second quarter 2016 Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.8% to $14.6 million from $14.2 million in the comparable prior-year period. The increase in both net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA marks the sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth for these metrics at Scioto Downs. Non-gaming revenue at the property rose 8.5% in the second quarter driven by the 2015 fourth quarter opening of The Brew Brothers microbrewery and restaurant. On June 30 a second smoking patio opened with 119 new VLTs and a casino bar which is directly adjacent to Brew Brothers at the front of the property. Construction on the 118-room Hampton Inn Hotel at the property continues and the hotel is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2016.

At Presque Isle Downs & Casino, second quarter 2016 net revenue decreased 1.7% to $37.1 million from $37.7 million in the second quarter of 2015 with operating income increasing 17.8% to $4.1 million over the same time period. Adjusted EBITDA declined slightly to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $5.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline in net revenue is attributable to lower non-gaming revenue mainly associated with strategic reductions in the property’s promotional expense. The property experienced minor construction disruption during the quarter due to the transformation of the old Clubhouse Restaurant into a new The Brew Brothers restaurant and a brand new escalator going from the casino floor to the entrance of The Brew Brothers, all of which was completed by the beginning of the third quarter.

Net revenue at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort declined 15.9% to $35.8 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $42.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 with operating income decreasing 84.5% to $0.5 million over the same time period. Adjusted EBITDA declined 47.5% to $3.7 million from $7.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2015. The property continued to be impacted by the smoking ban in the county that went into effect July 1, 2015.

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 operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, (gain) loss on the sale or disposal of property, equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate, acquisition charges, S-1 expenses, severance expenses and other regulatory gaming assessments, including the impact of change in reporting requirements, 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.

  (1)   Effective January 1, 2016, the Ohio Lottery Commission enacted a regulatory change which resulted in the establishment of a $1.0 million progressive slot liability and a corresponding decrease in net slot win during the first quarter of 2016. The changes are non-cash and related primarily to prior years. The net non-cash impact to Adjusted EBITDA was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
  (2)   Included in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is $0.5 million of additional stock-based compensation expense as a result of severance related restricted stock units becoming fully vested during the first quarter of 2016.
  (3)   Figures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 include the operations of Silver Legacy and Circus Circus Reno, which were acquired by ERI on November 24, 2015, as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2015. 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.
  (4)   Other is comprised of (gain) loss on the sale or disposal of property, equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate and other regulatory gaming assessments, including the item listed in footnote (1) above.
