Peter M. Carlino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Penn National Gaming commented, “First quarter revenue trends continue to reflect the current macroeconomic environment as well as a greater-than-anticipated impact of weather at several of our properties. Nevertheless, Penn National’s first quarter 2010 EBITDA exceeded guidance by $10.9 million. First quarter 2010 property level EBITDA margins of approximately 27.8% were approximately 80 and 70 basis points below comparable periods in 2009 and 2008, respectively. We believe that the implementation of strategies to strengthen margins in the current environment through a corporate and property level focus on effective marketing programs and spending, other cost reductions, and staffing rationalizations has eased our operating margin declines.
“We also believe there are areas for continued improvement at several Penn National facilities which will be carefully implemented to avoid impacting customer satisfaction and the competitiveness of our facilities in their respective markets. However, it will take some time to return margins to previous levels generally, and our historically high margins will not be attainable until revenues return to prior levels.
“Consistent with our goal of building long-term value for shareholders, Penn National Gaming is focused on optimizing operating results from our existing property portfolio, including the planned addition this year of table games at our facilities in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, while advancing our development and expansion pipeline of new growth opportunities in Maryland, Kansas and Ohio. We are aggressively deploying the Company’s strong cash flow, balance sheet and liquidity position — including cash of approximately $642.5 million at the end of the first quarter — to expand and diversify our operating base. At the same time, we remain prudent and opportunistic in the management of our capital structure, as evidenced by the repurchase during the quarter of 225 shares, or $22.5 million face value, of our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock at a substantial discount.
“Highlighting our focus on near- and long-term growth, four new gaming facilities in Maryland, Kansas and Ohio, and our table game expansions at Charles Town and Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, are all expected to open within the next two and a half years. These facilities
will further diversify our geographic reach, expand our current base of slot machines and table games, allow the Company to build on its already robust customer database, and position Penn National to participate in gaming expansion in new jurisdictions in a manner that more than offsets the impact on our existing facilities of overall gaming industry expansion.
“Penn National has a long-term track record for generating attractive returns on development projects and completing accretive acquisitions. Our $883 million planned share of investment in facilities in new markets is expected to deliver attractive EBITDA returns based on several factors, including a first mover advantage in Maryland, the lack of nearby gaming alternatives in our Ohio markets and our focus on matching capital spending to the size of the addressable adult population bases and gaming tax rates. We believe that by prudently managing our property portfolio and competitive positions in current markets while simultaneously pursuing a range of new opportunities to significantly expand our operating platform and returns, Penn National can deliver significant growth as the economy and consumer spending rebounds which will in turn create new value for shareholders.”

Diluted Share Count Methodology
Reflecting the issuance of 12,500 shares on October 30, 2008 of the $1.25 billion, zero coupon, Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock and the repurchase of 225 shares in the first quarter of 2010, Penn National Gaming is required to adjust its diluted weighted average outstanding share count for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share as follows:
· When the price of Penn National Gaming’s common stock is less than $45, the diluted weighted average outstanding share count is increased by 27,277,778 shares (regardless of how much the stock price is below $45);
· When the price of Penn National Gaming’s common stock is between $45 and $67, the diluted weighted average outstanding share count will be increased by an amount which can be calculated by dividing the $1.23 billion (face value) by the current price per share. This will result in an increase in the diluted weighted average outstanding share count of between 18,320,896 shares and 27,277,778 shares depending on the current share price; and,
· When the price of Penn National Gaming’s common stock is above $67, the diluted weighted average outstanding share count will be increased by 18,320,896 shares (regardless of how much the stock price exceeds $67).
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP
EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, charges for stock compensation, impairment losses, Empress Casino Hotel fire, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of assets, and other expenses, and inclusive of loss from unconsolidated affiliates, is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA information is presented as a supplemental disclosure, as management believes that it is a widely used measure of performance in the gaming industry. In addition, management uses EBITDA as the primary measure of the operating performance of its properties, including the evaluation of operating personnel. 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 any other measure of performance determined in accordance with 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. It should also be noted that other gaming companies that report EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA in a different manner than the Company. EBITDA is presented as a supplemental disclosure, as management believes that it is a principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies, as this measure is considered by many to be a better indicator of the Company’s operating results than diluted net income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and subsidiaries per GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company’s EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and subsidiaries per GAAP, as well as the Company’s EBITDA to income (loss) from operations per GAAP, is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
A reconciliation of each property’s EBITDA to income (loss) from operations is included in the financial schedules herein. On a property level, EBITDA is reconciled to income (loss) from operations per GAAP, rather than net income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and subsidiaries per GAAP due to, among other things, the impracticability of allocating interest expense, interest income, income taxes and certain other items to the Company’s various properties on a property-by-property basis. Management believes that this presentation is more meaningful to investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s individual properties and is consistent with the reporting of other gaming companies.
