Virginia McDowell, the Company's president and chief executive officer, commented,

"We experienced more challenging weather comparisons at several properties and isolated competitive pressure at a few properties during the quarter which impacted results; however, win per visit and retail play increased during the quarter highlighting our underlying business trends remain solid.   

Six properties generated increased Adjusted EBITDA this quarter, including three properties which set an all-time third quarter Adjusted EBITDA record.  Additionally, four properties generated their second highest third quarter Adjusted EBITDA.

We continued our balanced approach to capital deployment—reinvesting into our existing assets to enhance our guest experience, while at the same time reducing our debt balance.  Our balance sheet continues to be in the best shape it has been in over a decade and we have significant financial flexibility."

Financial Highlights

Net revenues for the current quarter were $230.5 million compared to $236.4 million in the prior year quarter, down 2.5%.  We continued to focus on optimizing our reinvestment rates.  Gross revenues declined 3.9%, which was partially a result of a 10% decline in promotional allowances during the quarter. 

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $45.9 million for the quarter compared to $47.5 million in the prior year quarter, down 3.2%.  We experienced a negative $1.7 million change year-over-year in our health and captive company insurance expenses, which affected results.  Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased slightly to 19.9% from 20.1%. 

Interest expense was $16.8 million relative to $20.9 million in the prior year quarter, as a result of our lower overall debt balance as well as the benefits of refinancing our 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019, completed early in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

On a GAAP basis, diluted income per share from continuing operations was $0.17 compared to diluted income per share from continuing operations of $0.15 in the prior year's quarter. Net income per share was $0.16 for the quarter, compared to net income of $0.13 per share in the prior year quarter. 

Operating Results

(All comparisons are to the prior year quarter)

Black Hawk – Net revenues decreased $0.4 million, or 1.3%, to $29.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.2 million to $6.7 million, at our two casinos in Black Hawk.  The properties were unfavorably impacted by the timing of winter weather systems relative to the prior year's quarter.

Pompano – Net revenues decreased $2.4 million, or 5.1%, to $44.1 million, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 9.0%, to $9.6 million at Pompano Park.  The decline is attributable to fewer snow-bird trips year over year, an increased competitive environment and the closure of our popular Myron's Deli during the quarter for renovations.  Despite the decline, Pompano generated the second highest third quarter Adjusted EBITDA since the property's opening in 2007. 

Iowa – Net revenues for our Iowa properties decreased $0.2 million, to $43.7 million, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.2 million, to $11.6 million. Despite construction disruption from our new land-based facility, revenues increased $0.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.1 million at our property in Bettendorf. 

Our properties in Waterloo and Marquette were more impacted by winter weather in the current year.  Waterloo's net revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 0.6%, to $21.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.2 million to $6.5 million.  If not for one-time severance expenses, Adjusted EBITDA at Waterloo would have been slightly higher than the prior year's all-time third quarter record.

Marquette's net revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 2.5%, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased less than $0.1 million to $1.0 million.

Lake Charles – Net revenues decreased $2.4 million, to $28.5 million, or 7.7%, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.7 million, to $3.8 million, or 15.3%.  The decline in EBITDA during the quarter happened entirely during November due primarily to the continued impact of a new competitor in the market, which anniversaried in early December.  The months of December and January combined showed a slight increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Mississippi – Net revenues for Lula and Vicksburg decreased 4.1%, to $19.1 million while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.3 million, to $4.0 million, or 7.8%.  Both Lula and Vicksburg experienced some disruption and incurred some minor costs during the quarter from the near-record flooding on the Mississippi River in early January.

Vicksburg's Adjusted EBITDA increased 42.2%, to $1.8 million; the second highest third quarter Adjusted EBITDA since we purchased the property in June 2010. Vicksburg's operating margins increased over 590 bps as a result of targeted customer reinvestment and reduced operating costs.  

Severe storms on Christmas weekend, including a tornado that disrupted the local area, impacted results in Lula where net revenues decreased $1.3 million, or 10.3%, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.9 million, or 28.8%.  The market in which Lula operates also remains highly competitive. 

Missouri – Net revenues for our Missouri properties increased $0.6 million to $58.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.9 million to $16.1 million.  We grew net revenues and set new third quarter Adjusted EBITDA records at our Boonville, Cape Girardeau and Caruthersville properties. 

In Caruthersville, net revenues increased $0.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA improved by 22.3%, to $2.0 million, primarily as a result of strategic marketing spending and recent capital investments we have made to the property. 

Cape Girardeau's Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.6 million, or 18.8%.  The property continues to ramp-up while optimizing its operating and marketing costs. 

Boonville's net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA improved 1.2% and 1.0%, respectively, despite hotel renovations that were completed during the quarter. The property had over 1,500 room nights out of service during the quarter. 

Kansas City reported their second highest third quarter Adjusted EBITDA, although net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.9% and 1.4% compared to the prior year quarter, respectively.  Kansas City experienced some minor disruption from renovations to the casino floor during the quarter.

Pennsylvania – At Nemacolin, net revenues decreased 3.1% to $7.8 million while the Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $(0.5) million from $(0.6) million.  The property was impacted by winter storm Jonas on the last weekend of the quarter.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate and development expenses were $6.1 million for the quarter compared to $5.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Non-cash stock compensation expense was $0.7 million for the quarter compared to $0.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.  The current year quarter included a favorable forfeiture adjustment of stock compensation expense of $0.5 million.

Capital Structure and Capital Expenditures

As of January 24, 2016, the Company had:

  • $59.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding $9.8 million in restricted cash and investments;
  • $951.7 million in total debt; and
  • $195.2 million in net line of credit availability.

Capital expenditures were $52.7 million in the nine months ended January 24, 2016, including $44.3 million of maintenance and gaming equipment purchases as well as spending related to the hotel renovations in Bettendorf and Boonville.  We have spent $8.4 million to date this fiscal year on the previously announced up to $60 million land-based project at Bettendorf.  For the project-to-date, we have expended $10.6 million.  The project remains on time and on budget. 

The Company expects total capital expenditures for fiscal 2016 of approximately $85 million to $90 million, inclusive of approximately $25 million to $30 million of capital spending this fiscal year related to the land-based casino build out in Bettendorf.

1.

 Adjusted EBITDA is "earnings from continuing operations before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, stock-based compensation, certain severance expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum, certain property tax settlements and depreciation and amortization." Adjusted EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is 1) a widely used measure of operating performance in the gaming industry, 2) used as a component of calculating required leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios under our Senior Credit Facility and 3) a principal basis of valuing gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of the Company's operating properties' performance, and it is an important component in evaluating the performance of management and other operating personnel in the determination of certain components of employee compensation.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Also, other gaming companies that report Adjusted EBITDA information may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner than the Company.  A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations is included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.




Certain of our debt agreements use a similar calculation of "Adjusted EBITDA" as a financial measure for the calculation of financial debt covenants and includes add back of items such as gain on early extinguishment of debt, preopening expenses, certain write-offs and valuation expenses, and non-cash stock compensation expense. Reference can be made to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the applicable debt agreements on file as Exhibits to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 



2.

Adjusted income (loss) is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure as this is one method management reviews and utilizes to analyze the performance of its core operating business.  For many of the same reasons mentioned above related to Adjusted EBITDA, management believes Adjusted income (loss) and Adjusted income (loss) per share are useful analytic tools as they enable management to track the performance of its core casino operating business separate and apart from factors that do not impact decisions affecting its operating casino properties, such as gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, certain severance expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum and certain property tax settlements.  Management believes Adjusted income (loss) and Adjusted income (loss) per share are useful to investors since these adjustments provide a measure of financial performance that more closely resembles widely used measures of performance and valuation in the gaming industry.  Adjusted income (loss) and adjusted income (loss) per share do not include the gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, certain severance expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum and certain property tax.



3.

The Company incurred $4.1 million of expense during the nine months ended January 24, 2015 related to the Colorado gaming expansion referendum. The Company had a favorable property tax settlement related to our Waterloo property of $1.2 million in during the nine months ended January 24, 2015.  The Company recorded $2.3 million of severance expense during the nine months ended January 24, 2015, related to restructuring at the corporate office.
