Preliminary operating results for quarter ended June 30, 2015
Although our results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 are not yet available, the following reflects our current expectations for that period: We expect consolidated net revenues in the range of $180 million to $185 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to pro forma consolidated net revenues of $186.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, after giving effect to the Merger and we expect consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $35.5 million to $37.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to the Merger was $35.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
The estimates set forth above are based solely on currently available information, which is subject to change and have not been reviewed by our independent auditors. We have not finalized our financial statement closing process or the audit of financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. During the course of this process we may identify items that would require us to make adjustments to our preliminary operating results described above. As a result, the discussion above constitutes forward-looking statements and, therefore, we caution you that these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including possible adjustments to our preliminary operating results and the risk factors highlighted in our public filings.
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, gain on retirement of supplemental executive retirement plan assets, change in fair value of supplemental executive retirement plan assets, foreign currency transaction (gain) loss and other expenses 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 Adjusted EBITDA information may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as the definitions used in any of the Company’s debt agreements.
