(1) For a further description of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, refer to the reconciliation tables following the narrative and the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in footnote (1) of this release.
Virginia McDowell, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, commented, “We continue to improve the efficiency of our operations despite the ongoing impact of sluggish consumer spending and the severe winter weather conditions we experienced during the quarter. We increased Adjusted EBITDA at four of our properties and improved Adjusted EBITDA margins at seven of our properties, leading to overall margin growth across the portfolio of properties open for more than one year.”
Diluted income (loss) per share from continuing operations for the quarter was $0.24 compared to ($0.06) for the third quarter last year. Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended January 26, 2014 was impacted by the reversal of a $2.0 million litigation accrual due to a recent favorable court ruling, and the $12.0 million reversal of a previously recorded tax valuation allowance, as a result of the recent sale of our Davenport property. The Loss from continuing operations for the prior year quarter were impacted by preopening expense of $1.0 million related to our Nemacolin and Cape Girardeau properties. Excluding these items, Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations would have been a loss of ($0.12) for the fiscal 2014 quarter, compared to a loss of ($0.04) for the prior year quarter.
McDowell continued, “The impacts of the weather and continuing revenue pressure, particularly at the lower end of our customer database, were at least partially offset by our ongoing and aggressive efforts to control costs and right-size our operating structure to our business volumes.

The success of our profit improvement initiatives led directly to the improvement in same store Adjusted EBITDA margins. We estimate these initiatives contributed approximately $2 million to Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter. We continue to believe that the profit improvement initiatives will result in annual savings of $10 million, when fully implemented.
“A few weeks ago we completed the sale of our property in Davenport and received approximately $50 million in net proceeds. We have initially used the proceeds to reduce borrowings under our senior credit facility.
“Furthermore, we completed the suitability hearing with our partner Tower Entertainment before the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board in January. We are hopeful that The Provence, a unique proposal for a casino-anchored urban entertainment complex in Philadelphia, will be chosen by the Board for the remaining gaming license in Pennsylvania.”
Operating Results
Black Hawk — Our profit improvement efforts lead to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA from $6.0 million to $6.9 million at our two casinos in Black Hawk while operating margins increased to 24.3%, despite a decrease in net revenues of $0.5 million to $28.4 million. While weather conditions impacted the Black Hawk gaming market, we were successful in growing market share during the period.
Pompano — Net revenues increased 6.3% to $42.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA increased 23.1% to $9.1 million at Pompano Park, and operating margins increased 300 basis points to 21.6%. Growth was driven by a combination of focused marketing efforts resulting in increased slot play and disciplined cost control.
Iowa — Net revenues decreased 7.4% to $41.4 million, consistent with the markets in which we operate. In Waterloo and Marquette we were able to absorb the revenue decrease through operating efficiencies resulting in Adjusted EBITDA which was flat with the prior year, while Adjusted EBITDA margins increased by over 100 basis points at each property. The decline in Iowa Adjusted EBITDA was attributable to our property in Bettendorf where we were not able to offset an 11% decrease in net revenue.
Lake Charles — Net revenues increased 2.0% to $29.9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.5% to $3.8 million. Market conditions were positively impacted by improved economic conditions in Louisiana and Northwest Texas, where unemployment declined during the period.
Missouri — Net revenues decreased 10.4% to $53.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $13.9 million to $12.9 million at our properties in Missouri, collectively. The third fiscal quarter was the first period reflecting year-over-year results for our property in Cape Girardeau. Despite a net revenue decrease of $3.0 million collectively at our properties in Boonville, Caruthersville and Kansas City, Adjusted EBITDA only decreased $0.1 million year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA margins increased at each property, including increases of 176 basis points in Boonville to 35.7% and 181 basis points to 23.5% in Kansas City.
2
We continue to refine our business model in Cape Girardeau, where comparative net revenues decreased $3.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.9 million compared to the prior year third quarter, its first quarter of operations.
Mississippi — Net revenues decreased from $25.9 million to $22.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $3.9 million to $2.1 million. Our properties in Mississippi continued to face competitive pressures during the period.
Pennsylvania — Net revenues were $6.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA was ($1.6) million. This is the first year of operation for Lady Luck Casino at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. We continue to identify opportunities for cost savings in order to better match our operating expenses to revenue levels throughout the seasonal low period. We are also continuing to aggressively market the property in order to grow our database of customers.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate and development expenses were $7.2 million for the quarter, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the prior year.
Non-cash stock compensation expense was $0.8 million for the quarter compared to $1.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Development
The Provence, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — We are partnered with Tower Entertainment, LLC, to operate the proposed $700 million casino entertainment complex, dubbed The Provence, if selected for licensure by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. As proposed the 1.25 million square foot project is expected to include a 125-room hotel, a casino featuring approximately 3,300 electronic gaming machines and 150 table games, as well as a wide variety of non-gaming entertainment amenities. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has previously indicated that they currently expect to announce a decision with respect to the license in April of this year. More information about the project is available at www.theprovencecasino.com.

As of January 26, 2014, the Company had:
· $68.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding $9.8 million in restricted cash and investments;

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is “earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, stock-based compensation, preopening expense, litigation accrual reversals, financing related expenses and depreciation and amortization.” Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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. Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA. Also, other gaming companies that report Adjusted EBITDA information may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner than the Company. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations is included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.
Certain of our debt agreements use a similar calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” as a financial measure for the calculation of financial debt covenants and 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.
(2) Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure as this is one method management reviews and utilizes to analyze the performance of its core operating business. For many of the same reasons mentioned above related to Adjusted EBITDA, management believes Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations per share are useful analytic tools as they enable management to track the performance of its core casino operating business separate and apart from factors that do not impact decisions affecting its operating casino properties, such as litigation accrual reversals or preopening expenses. Management believes Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations per share are useful to investors since these adjustments provide a measure of financial performance that more closely resembles widely used measures of performance and valuation in the gaming industry. Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations per share do not include tax valuation allowance reversals, litigation accrual reversals, preopening expenses, certain asset sale gains, financing related expenses, and income or loss from discontinued operations.
(3) Litigation accrual reversals for the three months ended January 26, 2014 includes a $2.0 million reduction to operating expenses and a $0.2 million reduction of interest expense. Litigation accrual reversals for the nine months ended January 26, 2014, includes a $9.3 million reduction to operating expenses and a $7.6 million reduction of interest expense.
