EXHIBIT 99.1 NEWS RELEASE FOR: TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT RESORTS, INC. (NASDAQ NMS: TRMP) CONTACT: John P. Burke, EVP, Corporate Treasurer, (212) 891-1503 FOR RELEASE: Monday, November 14, 2005 TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT RESORTS REPORTS 2005 THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTH RESULTS ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ NMS: TRMP) today reported its operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Consolidated net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $277.3 million, compared to $273.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The Company has treated Trump Indiana's results as discontinued operations, given the previously announced pending sale of Trump Indiana. Consolidated income from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $32.7 million, compared to $28.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. During the 2005 third quarter, in connection with its reorganization proceedings commenced on November 21, 2004, the Company recorded reorganization expenses and related costs of $5.7 million as a result of continued professional fees incurred with respect to the reorganization. Consolidated net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $3.2 million ($0.12 per basic and diluted share), compared to a net loss of $25.1 million ($0.84 per basic and diluted share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. EBITDA (defined by the Company as income from operations before depreciation, amortization and reorganization income/expenses and related costs) for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $54.7 million, compared to EBITDA of $56.4 million reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Readers are advised that the term "EBITDA" is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company supplementally provides EBITDA because it believes that it is commonly used by investors in measuring an entity's operating performance in the gaming industry. A reconciliation of EBITDA to income from operations is included in the attached schedules. Both the operating results prior to the effective date of the Company's reorganization on May 20, 2005 ("Effective Date") and for the period commencing on the Effective Date through September 30, 2005 are reflected in the schedules below. To facilitate analysis and comparison with the prior year, the results of the Company's operating entities have been combined both prior to and following the Effective Date for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Readers are encouraged to refer to the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier today. The report, as well as the Company's other periodic and annual reports, may be viewed free of charge either on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov, or on the Company's website, www.trumpcasinos.com. James B. Perry, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "Our third quarter financials continue to reflect matters associated with the Company's reorganization. Additionally, the results reflect the initial changes made to increase the profitability of some marketing programs. While these changes negatively impact revenue in the short term, they are designed to enable us to realize margin improvements going forward." Perry commented further, "We are on target to complete a master plan for our Atlantic City properties that is anticipated to lever the strength of the Trump brand through targeted renovations and strategic expansions. We believe the changes we intend to make to the physical plants represent solid and predictable growth opportunities for the organization for the next seven years, and we believe we are on target to present the plan to our Board of Directors for its approval by year end. First and foremost among these opportunities is the construction of a new tower at the Taj Mahal, which should enable us to maximize operating results by taking advantage of existing capacity on the gaming floor and in our restaurant and convention facilities. Upon approval of the Board of Directors, we plan on commencing construction in June 2006." "We are also developing a thematic positioning statement for each of the three Atlantic City properties based upon market research conducted with gaming customers in New Jersey and the surrounding states," Perry said. "We intend to coordinate our capital spending initiatives with our operating strategies at each property based on customer feedback, and begin the process of repositioning the properties in the second quarter of 2006. To accomplish this, we continue to strengthen our senior management team with talented gaming professionals who are committed to improving results through enhanced operations, heightened customer service, and increased entertainment value for our customers. These are seasoned leaders with proven experience who have a history of creating value for shareholders," he continued. Perry concluded, "In addition to capitalizing on growth opportunities at the existing properties, we have started the process of looking for growth opportunities beyond Atlantic City that should enable us to lever the 'magic' of the Trump brand. We have started discussions with developers in significant markets, including Philadelphia, to discuss scope and size of potential projects, and have begun looking at financing options. To be successful, we will also begin the process of building a team of experienced development executives who will identify and deliver quality opportunities for the company."
