SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") are omitted or condensed in these condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The interim results reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of that date was derived. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates incorporated in the Company's financial statements include the estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the estimated valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, certain tax liabilities, estimated cash flows in assessing the impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets, Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (the "CRDA") investments, self-insured liability reserves, customer loyalty program reserves, contingencies, litigation, claims, assessments and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists primarily of cash held in separate bank accounts designated for specific purposes. At both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , $7.4 million was restricted to collateralize letters of credit. Also at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , $6.8 million and $6.6 million , respectively, was held in a separate bank account to be used for purchases of replacement furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, as required by contract. In addition, at each of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , a total of $1.9 million was held as restricted cash as required by gaming regulatory agencies in Nevada, New Jersey and Missouri. Fair Value of Financial Instruments As defined under GAAP, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in the principal market or in the most advantageous market when no principal market exists. Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange. See Note 3 - Fair Value for further detail related to the fair value of financial instruments. Revenue Recognition The Company's revenue contracts with customers consist primarily of gaming wagers, hotel room sales, food and beverage transactions, and sales of other retail goods and services. Casino revenue represents the difference between wins and losses from gaming activities. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for gaming contracts on a portfolio basis, rather than as individual contracts, as gaming wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements will not differ materially from that which would result if applying the revenue recognition standard to each individual wagering transaction. Room, food and beverage and other operating revenues are recognized at the time the goods or services are provided, and are recorded net of any sales, use and other applicable taxes that are collected by the Company at the point of sale. The Company’s gaming wager contracts involve multiple performance obligations for those customers who participate in the Company’s loyalty programs (the “Programs”). Under the Programs, customers earn points from their gaming wager activities, which may be redeemed, subject to certain limitations and the terms of the programs, for free slot play, cash, food, beverages, rooms or merchandise. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering transaction between the gaming performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company determines the stand-alone selling price of the loyalty points earned, which is the retail value of the free slot play, services or merchandise for which points can be redeemed. Since the stand-alone selling price for wagers is highly variable and no set established price can be determined for such wagers, the amount of revenue allocated to the gaming wager is determined using the residual approach, after determining the value of the loyalty points. The gaming revenue is recognized when the wagers occur; the loyalty point liability amount is deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems their points, at the retail value of rooms, food and beverage or other goods and services. See "Adoption of New Accounting Standards" below, for discussion of the impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018 and Note 19 - Segment Information, for disaggregation of revenue detail for our reportable segments. Timeshare Sales The Company accounts for sales of timeshare intervals at the Tropicana Aruba in accordance with ASC 978, Real Estate - Time Sharing Activity . Sales of timeshare intervals, the majority of which are sold under a credit arrangement, are recorded net of an estimated allowance for bad debt. Costs associated with the timeshare units, including building and renovation costs, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and other costs directly attributable to the timeshare units are recorded as timeshare inventory. In addition, incremental revenue over related costs generated from the daily rental of the designated timeshare units is recorded as a reduction of the timeshare inventory, as opposed to hotel revenue. A cost of sales is calculated, using the total timeshare inventory as a percentage of the potential timeshare interval sales, and a portion of the inventory is recorded as cost of sales expense as each timeshare interval is sold. Customer Contract Liabilities The Company provides numerous goods and services to its customers. There is often a timing difference between payments by customers and recognition of revenue for each of the related performance obligations. The Company’s primary types of liabilities associated with contracts with customers are (1) loyalty program liabilities, (2) outstanding chip and slot voucher liability and (3) customer deposits and other deferred revenue for gaming and non-gaming products and services to be provided in the future. The loyalty program liabilities represent a deferral of casino revenue until the customer redeems the incentives earned, and are typically expected to be redeemed and recognized within one year or sooner of being earned. The Program liabilities are recorded net of an estimated "breakage" factor, which assumes that some points will expire without being redeemed; the breakage is estimated based on historical redemption rates at each Tropicana property, as redemption and expiration periods of Program incentives vary at each property. Outstanding chip and slot voucher liabilities represents amounts owed to customers for gaming chips and slot tickets in their possession, which are expected to be recognized as revenue or redeemed within one year. Customer deposits and other deferred revenue includes cash deposits made by customers for future services to be provided by the Company, including deposits for services such as gaming and internet gaming activities, timeshare sales and maintenance fees and hotel room stays, which are expected to be recognized as revenue or refunded to the customer within one year of the date the deposit was recorded. In the case of a hotel contract involving multiple days, the transaction price is recognized as revenue over the days based on the contract rate for each night's stay. The following table summarizes the liabilities related to contracts with customers (in thousands): Loyalty Program Liabilities Outstanding Chip and Voucher Liabilities Customer Deposits and Other Deferred Revenue 2018 2017 2018 2017 2018 2017 Balances at January 1 $ 7,947 $ 9,234 $ 4,718 $ 4,689 $ 5,019 $ 4,358 Balances at March 31 8,053 9,401 5,844 4,161 4,890 4,999 Increase (decrease), net $ 106 $ 167 $ 1,126 $ (528 ) $ (129 ) $ 641 Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of those benefits is considered more likely than not, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets which do not meet this threshold. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition . This ASU was amended by ASU No. 2015-14, issued in August 2015, which deferred the original effective date by one year; the effective date is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, using one of two retrospective application methods. In addition, the FASB issued several other amendments during 2016 to FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers that include implementation guidance to principal versus agent considerations, guidance to identifying performance obligations, licensing guidance, technical guidance and other narrow scope improvements. This standard provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services provided to the customer. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective method, which required the restatement of prior period results reported. The adoption of this standard principally affects the presentation of rewards earned and redeemed by our customers under our loyalty programs. Under the new standard, incentives earned by our customers as a result of their gaming activity under our loyalty programs creates a separate performance obligation, which requires the deferral of a portion of the gaming revenue for the value of that obligation. When the customer redeems the incentives and the performance obligation is fulfilled, the deferred revenue is recognized in the venue that provides the goods or services (for example, hotel, food, beverage, or other) at the retail value of the goods or services provided. Before the adoption of this standard, loyalty program redemptions were recorded as complimentary revenues within the venue of redemption, with a corresponding deduction through promotional allowances. As a result of the adoption of this standard, the deduction for promotional allowances is eliminated. The standard also requires the deferred revenue obligation to be measured at the expected retail value of the benefits owed to the customer, adjusted for expected redemptions ("breakage") by customers; previously, the liability for loyalty program incentives was measured at the anticipated cost of the benefits to be provided, adjusted for expected breakage. As a result of the adoption of this standard, the deferred revenue obligation for incentives earned but not yet redeemed by our customers increased by approximately $3 million . In addition, the adoption of this standard requires certain adjustments and other reclassifications within revenue and expense categories on our statement of income, which did not impact our previously reported operating income or net income. The tables below provide a reconciliation of results as previously reported and the resulting impacts from the adoption of ASC 606 and ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash , which is described below (in thousands except per share data): Consolidated Balance Sheet Balance at December 31, 2017 As Previously Reported Adoption of ASC 606 As Adjusted Deferred tax assets, net $ 57,693 $ 620 $ 58,313 Total assets 1,199,482 620 1,200,102 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 91,694 2,761 94,455 Total liabilities 282,130 2,761 284,891 Retained earnings 395,561 (2,141 ) 393,420 Total shareholders' equity 917,352 (2,141 ) 915,211 Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ 1,199,482 $ 620 $ 1,200,102 Consolidated Statement of Income Three months ended March 31, 2017 As Previously Reported Adoption of ASC 606 As Adjusted Casino revenue $ 177,420 $ (31,946 ) $ 145,474 Rooms, food, beverage and other revenue 62,407 8,145 70,552 Promotional allowances (22,440 ) 22,440 — Total revenue 217,387 (1,361 ) 216,026 Operating costs and expenses 187,914 (1,483 ) 186,431 Operating income 29,473 122 29,595 Income before taxes 41,761 122 41,883 Income tax expense (15,994 ) (43 ) (16,037 ) Net income $ 25,767 $ 79 $ 25,846 Income per common share $ 1.05 $ — $ 1.05 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 As Previously Reported Adoption of ASC 606 Adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 As Adjusted Net income $ 25,767 $ 79 $ — $ 25,846 Restricted cash funded - operating activities (72 ) — 72 — Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities 2,093 (79 ) — 2,014 Net cash provided by operating activities 46,507 — 72 46,579 Restricted cash funded - investing activities (213 ) — 213 — Net cash used in investing activities (32,615 ) — 213 (32,402 ) Restricted cash funded - financing activities (2 ) — 2 — Net cash used in financing activities (752 ) — 2 (750 ) Net increase in cash 13,140 — 287 13,427 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 239,615 — 14,842 254,457 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 252,755 $ — $ 15,129 $ 267,884 In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which amends FASB ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . This ASU seeks to reduce the diversity currently in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of eight specific cash flow issues in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15 on January 1, 2018; the adoption of this standard did not have any impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory , which amends FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. This ASU requires the recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Current U.S. GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-16 on January 1, 2018; the adoption of this standard did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which amends FASB ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. This ASU requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period of total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard resulted in a restatement of our statement of cash flows for the prior year, to show the change in total cash, including amounts included as restricted cash, and to include restricted cash in the beginning and ending period cash balances Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases. This ASU requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. In addition, among other changes to the accounting for leases, this ASU retains the distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Early application is permitted. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this guidance, and is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of this guidance, if any, on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures. A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect certain reclassifications to prior year amounts in order to conform with the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income, except as noted above as a result of the adoption of ASC 606. |
