Safe Harbor/Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures
All statements included in this presentation, other than historical information or statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Company’s future operating performance, future growth, anticipated milestones, completion and opening schedules of various projects, construction schedules and budgets of the various projects, amenities and features of the various projects, continued improvement of operations at our properties, the Ho Tram Strip, potential growth for ACDL and potential growth of the gaming markets in Vietnam and throughout Asia, the completion of the first and second integrated resort of the Ho Tram Strip, the expected returns of the Company’s various development projects and investments, and the ability of the Company to borrow as it constructs its various projects under its Credit Facility, are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that could significantly affect future results. Accordingly, Pinnacle cautions that the forward-looking statements contained herein are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by such statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (a) the Company’s business is particularly sensitive to reductions in consumers’ discretionary spending as a result of downturns in the economy or other changes it cannot accurately predict; (b) the gaming industry is very competitive and increased competition could adversely affect our profitability; (c) many factors could prevent the Company from completing its construction and development projects as planned, including the escalation of construction costs beyond increments anticipated in construction budgets; (d) the Company’s substantial development plans for capital-intensive projects will require the Company to borrow significant amounts under the Company’s credit facility and, depending on which projects are pursued to completion, may cause the Company to incur substantial additional indebtedness; (e) the Company is subject to risks associated with geographic market concentration in Louisiana; (f) insufficient or lower-than-expected results generated from the Company’s new developments and acquired properties may not yield adequate or expected returns on the Company’s substantial investments; (g) the Company’s industry is highly regulated, which makes the Company dependent on obtaining and maintaining gaming licenses and subjects the Company to potentially significant fines and penalties; (h) we face many risks associated with our investment in a privately held company, ACDL, that is developing a complex of integrated resorts in Vietnam, such as ACDL’s ability to raise capital to complete the first phase of first integrated resort and to fund the development of subsequent phases of the planned resort complex, among other risks; (i) the Company operates in a highly taxed industry and may be subject to higher taxes in the future; (j) the Company may not realize gains on the Company’s proposed investment in a joint venture that is planning to develop gaming resorts in Vietnam; the Company’s involvement in Vietnam could expose us to risks associated with violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or applicable anti-money laundering regulations, which could have a negative impact on the Company; (k) the global financial crisis and recession has affected the Company’s business and financial condition, and may continue to affect the Company in ways that the Company currently cannot accurately predict; (l) adverse weather conditions, road construction, gasoline shortages and other factors affecting the Company’s facilities and the areas in which the Company operates could make it more difficult for potential customers to travel to the Company’s properties and deter customers from visiting the Company’s properties; and (m) other risks, including those as may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For more information on the potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results and business, review the Company’s filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its Current Reports on Form 8 -K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measurements. The Company defines Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening and development expenses, non-cash share-based compensation, asset impairment costs, write-downs, reserves, recoveries, corporate-level litigation settlement costs, gain (loss) on sale of certain assets, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on sale of equity security investments, minority interest and discontinued operations. The Company defines Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues on a consolidated basis. Not all of the aforementioned benefits and costs occur in each reporting period, but have been included in the definition based on historical activity.
The Company uses Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin as relevant and useful measures to compare operating results between accounting periods. The presentation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA has economic substance because it is used by management as a performance measure to analyze the performance of its business and is especially relevant in evaluating large, long-lived casino-hotel projects because it provides a perspective on the current effects of operating decisions separated from the substantial, non-operational depreciation charges and financing costs of such projects. Management eliminates the results from discontinued operations as they are discontinued. Management also reviews pre-opening and development expenses separately, as such expenses are also included in total project costs when assessing budgets and project returns, and because such costs relate to anticipated future revenues and income. Management believes some investors consider Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful measure in determining a company’s ability to service or incur indebtedness, service debt, and fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations and for estimating a company’s underlying cash flows from operations before capital costs, taxes and capital expenditures. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare operating performance and value of companies within our industry. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA also approximates the measures used in the debt covenants within the Company’s debt agreements. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company compensates for these limitations by using other comparative measures to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.
EBITDA measures, such as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin are not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure of comparing performance among different companies. See the attached “supplemental information” tables for a reconciliation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to Income (loss) from continuing operations and a reconciliation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin to Income (loss) from continuing operations margin.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA for each operating segment as earnings before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening and development expenses, non-cash share-based compensation, asset impairment costs, write-downs, reserves, recoveries, gain (loss) on sale of certain assets, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, and discontinued operations. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin for each operating segment as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues for such segment. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to compare operating results among its properties and between accounting periods.
