Commenting on the results, President and Chief Executive Officer Virginia McDowell said, “Even in this uncertain economic environment, I am confident that we are doing the right things and continuing to refine the type of customer experience that will benefit our business and drive profitability moving forward. As a business, we are facing the challenges of increased competition in some of our key markets, the possibility of still prolonged economic hardship, and our need to continue to raise the bar on the customer experience while maintaining fiscal responsibility during a period of uncertainty. In spite of these challenges, I believe we are moving in the right direction for a future of increased profitability. On the development front, we are moving forward with the construction of our new property in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and we are looking forward to building a first-class operation in Pennsylvania.”
Several factors during the quarter impacted the Company’s operating results. The Company’s properties in Lula, Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi continued to be affected by the impact of Mississippi River flooding earlier in the year as business was slow to return to pre-flood levels. In Lula, the Company operated with only one of the two casinos until September 2, 2011. These factors led to both decreased net revenues and increased marketing expenses associated with the effort to return business to normal levels. The Company estimates that the impact on second quarter EBITDA was approximately $2.0 million.
Additionally, net revenues and EBITDA were affected by the following items: In Black Hawk, the Company began to realize the benefit of several changes to the property. Recent renovations to the casino floor, a new Asian-themed restaurant and expanded poker facilities, along with improved marketing efforts led to increased market share and a $1.7 million (29.2%) increase in EBITDA. In Boonville and Waterloo, cost containment efforts led to increased EBITDA of $0.4
million (6.4%) and $0.4 million (6.5%) respectively. Conversely the Company faced challenges in a couple of the major markets as well. In the Quad Cities, increased competition caused by the opening of the Des Plaines, Illinois casino, as well as road construction at the entrance of the Davenport casino, led to decreased EBITDA of $1.1 million. Costs increased in Lake Charles during the quarter due to expenses associated with realigning the casino floor, as well as refurbishments including new carpet and paint throughout the entire facility, which are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the calendar year.
Chief Operating Officer Arnold Block commented, “Our spend per customer grew by about 7% during the quarter, as we focused on marketing to our best customers and controlling the things we can control in a tough economy. While our volumes were down slightly, due in part to conditions in Mississippi, this strategy still had a net positive impact on our revenues, largely driven by more business from our upper segment database customers, partially offset by decreased visitation by customers in our lower segments.
We have been making changes both large and small at our properties for several months that we expect to have a positive impact on our business moving forward and improve our guest experience. First, we recently implemented the initial trial of our enhanced customer loyalty program at our property in Pompano. This new program, which we expect to roll out across the portfolio and have fully implemented by early 2013, will give our customers more control over their rewards, more options for ways to use their points and more incentive for repeat visitation to our properties,” Block continued.
We will also be introducing a new buffet concept in Boonville that we plan to extend across the portfolio. The concept is called Farmers Pick Buffet, and focuses on locally sourced, fresh food that will exceed the quality often found in casino buffets. We are also currently completing the design for the refurbishment of our Lake Charles hotel. Lastly, we are beginning the conversion and rebrand our Vicksburg property as a Lady Luck Casino. The $4.5 million project will be completed in several phases, which we expect to be substantially complete by late spring 2012.”
Chief Financial Officer Dale Black noted, “We are dedicating our capital to the places at our properties where we think we can successfully make targeted improvements that will bring added excitement to our facilities. We believe this strategy will help us achieve the new trial visitation and increased repeat business that can have a positive impact on earnings.”
Corporate Expenses
Corporate and development expenses were $9.3 million for the quarter compared to $10.9 million in fiscal 2011. The decrease is primarily a result of $0.9 million in the cash portion of the long-term incentive compensation award being awarded in the second quarter of the prior year and $0.9 million in development expenses in the prior year related to Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin.
Non-cash stock compensation expense was $2.3 million for the quarter compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Insurance Claim Process
We continue to work through our various flood claims with our insurance carriers and expect negotiations to continue for the foreseeable future. Through November 28, 2011, we have received initial payments of $2.6 million related to the claims.
Development Update
Cape Girardeau, Missouri: At the $125 million Isle Casino Cape Girardeau development, the Company has made substantial progress including completion of the primary feeder road to the property, basin and floating floor construction and is currently erecting structural steel at the site. We still expect to open the facility in December 2012.
The Company recently appointed Chet Koch as General Manager of the property. Koch most recently has served as General Manager of Isle of Capri, Kansas City.
Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, Pennsylvania: The Company was selected, along with Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for the state’s final available resort gaming license in April 2011. An appeal of the award has been filed by a competing party. The plaintiff’s briefs have been filed. The timeline for ultimate resolution of the matter is not known at this time.
Lake Charles, Louisiana: Relating to the potential sale of the smaller of the Company’s two riverboats in Lake Charles, on November 19, 2011 voters in Bossier Parish, Louisiana approved the ballot referendum, which would allow for the construction of a new casino to be built by the potential buyer. We recently reached an agreement with the buyer to extend the option period to December 30, 2011 from November 30, 2011. If the option is exercised, terms call for the transaction to be finalized within 30 days after exercise.
Capital Structure and Capital Expenditures
The Company had $66.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $1.2 billion at the end of the quarter.
Interest expense for the quarter was $21.9 million, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011, due to the expiration of several interest rate swap agreements during fiscal 2011.
Capital expenditures during the quarter totaled $19.7 million, of which $7.8 million related to Cape Girardeau. The Company expects capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year to be approximately $60 million, including approximately $30 million in Cape Girardeau.

1. EBITDA is “earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.” “Property EBITDA” is EBITDA before Corporate and development expenses and minority interest. 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 EBITDA and Property EBITDA as the primary measure of the Company’s operating properties’ performance, and they are important components in evaluating the performance of management and other operating personnel in the determination of certain components of employee compensation. 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 EBITDA. Also, other gaming companies that report EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA in a different manner than the Company. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Property EBITDA to operating income is included in the financial schedules accompanying this release. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the Company’s net income (loss) is shown below (in thousands).

Certain of our debt agreements use “Adjusted EBITDA” as a financial measure for the calculation of financial debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA includes add back of items such as gain on early extinguishment of debt, pre-opening 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.
