COMPANY WIDE RESULTS
(in millions, except per share amounts)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2006 Fourth Quarter | | 2005 Fourth Quarter | | Percent Increase (Decrease) | | | 2006 Full Year | | 2005 Full Year | | Percent Increase (Decrease) | |
Revenues | | $ | 2,430.6 | | $ | 2,095.1 | | 16.0 | % | | $ | 9,673.9 | | $ | 7,010.0 | | 38.0 | % |

Property EBITDA and Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations are not Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measurements but are commonly used in the gaming industry as measures of performance and as bases for valuation of gaming companies. In addition, analysts’ per-share earnings estimates for gaming companies are comparable to Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations. Reconciliations of Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations to GAAP EPS and Property EBITDA to income from operations are attached to this release.
On a GAAP basis, fourth-quarter income from operations was $229.7 million, an increase of 47.4 percent from the year-ago quarter. Income from continuing operations was $39.4 million, compared with a loss of $24.5 million posted in the 2005 fourth quarter. Diluted EPS from continuing operations were 21 cents, compared with a loss per share of 13 cents in the year-ago quarter. The 2006 and 2005 fourth-quarter results were impacted by $20.7 million and $138.6 million, respectively, in charges to recognize the impairment of certain intangible assets.

Fourth-quarter same-store sales at properties that Harrah’s has operated for more than 12 months rose 6.8 percent from the year-ago quarter. The comparison excludes properties closed in the prior year period due to hurricane damage sustained in the third quarter of 2005.
For full-year 2006, revenues rose 38.0 percent to $9.7 billion from $7.0 billion in 2005. Property EBITDA increased to $2.6 billion, up 35.4 percent from $1.9 billion in 2005. Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations were $3.34, compared with $3.55 in 2005.
Full-year income from operations was $1.6 billion, up 51.3 percent from $1.0 billion in 2005. Income from continuing operations in 2006 was $523.9 million, compared with $316.3 million in 2005, while 2006 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $2.79, compared with $2.10 a year earlier. Results for 2005 include the contribution of the Caesars business subsequent to the acquisition date of June 13, 2005.
Fourth-Quarter Highlights
| • | | Harrah’s entered into a definitive agreement with affiliates of Texas Pacific Group (TPG) and Apollo Management, L.P. (Apollo) to acquire the company in an all-cash transaction. Under terms of the agreement, Harrah’s stockholders will receive $90 in cash for each outstanding Harrah’s share. On February 8, 2007, Harrah’s filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides details regarding the pending sale of the company. |

| • | | In December 2006, Harrah’s completed the acquisition of London Clubs, which operates seven casinos in the United Kingdom, two in Egypt and one in South Africa, and has four others under development in the UK. |
| • | | On October 2, Harrah’s announced a definitive agreement to acquire the Barbary Coast, giving the company control of three of the four corners of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. Coupled with previously completed land-purchase agreements, the Barbary Coast transaction will give Harrah’s control of about 350 acres at or near the center of the Las Vegas Strip. |
“During the 2006 fourth quarter, continued robust visitation in the Las Vegas Region, due in large part to completion of the integration of our Total Rewards customer-loyalty program into the Caesars legacy properties, drove revenues to a record level,” said Gary Loveman, Harrah’s Entertainment chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Development costs and narrower margins in Atlantic City than in the 2005 fourth quarter impacted overall Property EBITDA and, combined with higher interest expenses, affected per-share results.”

Property EBITDA | | (26.2 | ) | | (3.0 | ) | | N/M | | | (45.9 | ) | | 21.7 | | | N/M | |
Managed, international and other results include income from our managed properties, results of our international properties and certain marketing and administrative expenses, including development costs, and income from our nonconsolidated subsidiaries.
Managed/Other revenues rose 41.4 percent due to the addition of the London Club results for part of the 2006 fourth quarter and revenue gains at managed Native American properties. The Property EBITDA loss widened due to higher development costs and master-plan expenses related to Las Vegas, Atlantic City and Biloxi. Income from operations for the 2006 fourth quarter included a $30 million charge related to an adverse court ruling, which Harrah’s plans to appeal.
Other Items
Fourth-quarter corporate expenses rose to $41.4 million from $27.0 million in the 2005 fourth quarter due primarily to the addition of stock-based compensation expense.
The amortization of intangible assets increased from the 2005 fourth quarter, due to the inclusion in the prior year of an adjustment to reflect the reduction in the third-quarter estimate of amortization expense following the refinement of the Caesars purchase-price allocation.
-8-
Interest expense increased 10.7 percent year-over-year due primarily to higher interest rates and increased debt levels associated with the acquisition of London Clubs International and the land purchased in Las Vegas.
The effective tax rate for the full-year 2006 was 36.1 percent, compared with 41.7 percent in 2005. The 2006 effective tax rates reflect the impact of certain income-tax benefits identified as the company completed its 2005 tax returns and the adjustment to tax reserves due to issues in tax periods that have now been settled. Excluding the impact of these benefits from the tax-rate calculation, the effective tax rates for 2006 would have been 38.6 percent.
Discontinued Operations for the 2006 fourth quarter include the financial results of Harrah’s Lake Charles through its sale in November 2006, and 2005 results were restated to reflect the results of Harrah’s Lake Charles in Discontinued Operations. Discontinued Operations for the 2005 fourth quarter also included the operating results of Reno Hilton, Flamingo Laughlin and the Grand Gulfport for the period of time they were owned by the company.
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the fourth quarter were 188.7 million shares, compared with 182.8 million in the 2005 fourth quarter.

(b) | Property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) consists of Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, write-downs, reserves and recoveries, project opening costs, corporate expense, merger and integration costs, income/(losses) on interests in non-consolidated affiliates and amortization of intangible assets. Property EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate our operations. However, Property EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to Income from operations (as an indicator of our operating performance) or to Cash flows from operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, Property EBITDA as presented by our Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. |
