Virginia McDowell, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, commented,
“Over the past 18 months, we implemented comprehensive operational changes to better align the returns on our marketing programs and costs of doing business. We did this all while driving higher customer satisfaction. We continued to realize the benefits of those initiatives this quarter as, for the fourth consecutive quarter, we reported a year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA. Every one of our properties generated an increase in Adjusted EBITDA and all but one property generated higher net revenues.
“Although we benefited from better weather and macroeconomic trends during the quarter relative to last year’s third quarter, Adjusted EBITDA for all but two of our properties exceeded results not only compared to the prior fiscal year quarter, but also compared to the prior two fiscal year quarters. Three of our most profitable properties—Pompano, Boonville and Waterloo—set new third quarter records for Adjusted EBITDA, while Lake Charles reported the highest third quarter Adjusted EBITDA in the past three years, despite a new competitor being open for more than half the quarter.

“We are cautiously optimistic about the trends we are seeing in regional gaming, but regardless of the outlook, I am confident that the changes we are continuing to make in our business position us well in any operating environment.”
Financial Highlights
Net revenues for the third quarter were up 7.5%, to $241.1 million, compared to $224.2 million in the prior year quarter, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased 27.6%, to $47.2 million from $37.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.6% compared to 16.5% in the prior year quarter.
There were no unusual items affecting this year’s third quarter results; however, the prior year benefited from the reversal of a $2.2 million litigation accrual due to a favorable court ruling, and a $12.0 million reversal of a previously recorded tax valuation allowance as a result of the sale of our Davenport property.
On a GAAP basis, diluted income per share from continuing operations in the current quarter was $0.13, compared to $0.24 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted income per share from continuing operations in the current quarter was $0.13, compared to adjusted loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.12) in the prior year quarter.
Operating Results
Black Hawk — Net revenues increased $1.2 million, or 4.1%, to $29.5 million at our two properties. Adjusted EBITDA was flat primarily as a result of additional marketing costs resulting from the first full quarter of Fan Club since its introduction.
Pompano — Net revenues increased $4.1 million, or 9.7%, to $46.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.4 million, or 15.8%, to $10.6 million. We generated strong increases in both rated and retail revenue during the quarter. Operating margins improved to 22.8% from 21.6%.
Iowa — Net revenues increased $2.5 million, or 6.1%, to $43.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.7 million, or 16.6%, to $11.9 million. Waterloo set a new third quarter Adjusted EBITDA record while Marquette generated the highest third quarter Adjusted EBITDA since fiscal 2007. Bettendorf’s Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.3% despite continued competition from VLTs in Illinois.
Lake Charles — Net revenues increased $0.9 million, or 3.0%, to $30.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.7 million, or 18.0%, to $4.4 million. The property benefited from a strong November, which drove results for the quarter. A new competitor opened in the market on December 8, 2014. Following the opening of the new property in Lake Charles and through the end of the third quarter, net revenues were relatively flat, while Adjusted EBITDA declined in the mid-single digits as we incurred additional overtime costs due to better-than-expected business volumes and higher marketing costs.
2
Mississippi —Net revenues increased $1.7 million, or 7.5%, to $24.6 million at our Mississippi properties. Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.0 million, or 97.3%, to $4.1 million. All three properties in Mississippi generated better Adjusted EBITDA results year over year. Lula continued its strong year-over-year performance with net revenue growth of $1.4 million, or 12.3%, and an Adjusted EBITDA increase of $1.5 million, or 97.6%, as it continues to benefit from refined marketing programs.
Missouri — Net revenues increased $4.6 million, or 8.7%, to $57.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.4 million, or 18.5%, to $15.2 million. All four of our Missouri properties generated increased net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter led by Adjusted EBITDA growth of 76.8% in Caruthersville and 49.3% at Cape Girardeau. Boonville set a new third quarter Adjusted EBITDA record with an increase of 5.3%, and Kansas City’s Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.8%.
Pennsylvania —Net revenues increased $2.0 million, or 32.2%, to $8.0 million at our property at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.0 million, or 61.3%, to $(0.6) million.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate and development expenses were $5.9 million for the quarter, a decrease of $1.4 million compared to the prior year due to our corporate realignment completed earlier in fiscal 2015 and continued focus on managing expenses.
Non-cash stock compensation expense was $0.6 million for the quarter compared to $0.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
Capital Structure, Capital Expenditures and Updated Guidance

· $67.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding $9.2 million in restricted cash and investments;

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is “earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, stock-based compensation, certain severance expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum, certain property tax and legal settlements, preopening expense, certain asset sale gains 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 it is an important component 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) 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) and Adjusted income (loss) 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 certain severance expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum, certain property tax and legal settlements, certain asset sale gains and preopening expenses. Management believes Adjusted income (loss) and Adjusted income (loss) 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) and adjusted income (loss) per share do not include certain severance expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum, certain property tax and legal settlements, certain asset sale gains and preopening expenses.
(3) The Company incurred $4.1 million of expense during the nine months ended January 25, 2015 related to the Colorado gaming expansion referendum. The Company had a favorable property tax settlement related to our Waterloo property of $1.2 million during the nine months ended January 25, 2015. The Company recorded $2.3 million of severance expense during the nine months ended January 25, 2015, related to restructuring at the corporate office.
(4) 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.
