Eric Hausler, the Company's chief executive officer, commented,

"We increased Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins for both the quarter and fiscal 2016, and have grown Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins in eight of the last nine quarters.

"We continue to focus on driving increased profitability from our existing operations, managing our corporate costs efficiently and optimizing our marketing costs.  We benefited from our geographic diversity during the quarter as strength in our Missouri and Iowa operations offset lower results year over year in Colorado, Florida and Louisiana.   

"During fiscal 2016, we continued to reinvigorate our properties through prudent capital investments across the portfolio. Perhaps most significantly, we are excited to open our new land-based gaming and entertainment facility in Bettendorf on June 24, 2016.  We believe it will be an outstanding upgrade to the customer experience at our Bettendorf property.  Later this summer, we expect to launch our online play-for-fun casino and to offer lifestyle products under the Lady Luck brand.  We expect these new offerings to further enhance our player loyalty and broaden the demographic appeal of our Lady Luck brand.

"We are also particularly proud that we reduced our debt balance by over $70 million in fiscal 2016 and strengthened our balance sheet, while building Bettendorf and reinvesting in our properties. This highlights the strong free cash flow generation of our business."

Financial Highlights

Net revenues for the current quarter were $264.9 million compared to $269.3 million in the prior year quarter, down 1.6%.  Seven of 13 properties reported higher net revenues for the quarter.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $65.8 million for the quarter compared to $65.4 million in the prior year quarter, up 0.7%.  Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margins improved to 24.9% from 24.3%.  Operating income increased to $43.2 million from $35.9 million in the prior year quarter.

Interest expense was $16.7 million compared to $20.8 million in the prior year quarter, as a result of our lower overall debt balance as well as the benefits of refinancing our 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

On a GAAP basis, diluted income per share from continuing operations was $0.60 compared to diluted income per share from continuing operations of $0.08 in the prior year's quarter.

The following items impacted income from continuing operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015:

  • We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $9.0 million in fiscal 2015.
  • We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $13.8 million in fiscal 2015 related to the tender and refinancing of our 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019.

Operating Results

(All comparisons are to the prior year quarter)

Black Hawk – Net revenues decreased $1.4 million, or 4.0%, to $32.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.9 million to $9.2 million, at our two casinos in Black Hawk. The property results were affected by increased competition in the market this year; in particular, the prior year quarter's results benefited from construction disruption at a nearby property.

Pompano – Net revenues decreased $2.8 million, or 5.2%, to $51.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.2%, to $13.8 million at Pompano Park.  Continuing from the third quarter, fewer transient customer trips year over year and an increased competitive environment hampered results in the early part of the quarter; however, the property rebounded to prior year levels in April. Despite the decline, Pompano generated the second highest fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA since the property's opening in 2007. 

Iowa – Net revenues for our Iowa properties were flat to prior year at $48.5 million, while Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.4 million, to $14.6 million. Despite construction disruption from our new land-based facility, net revenues increased $0.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.2 million at our property in Bettendorf. 

Waterloo posted its second-highest fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA since opening in June 2007.  Adjusted EBITDA margins at the property improved 150 basis points and Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.5 million, or 6.4%, to $8.2 million.

Our property in Marquette was impacted by an increased competitive environment resulting in decreased net revenues of $0.5 million, to $6.2 million.  Adjusted EBITDA declined $0.3 million, to $1.3 million.

Lake Charles – Our property in Lake Charles was negatively impacted by the closure of I-10 between Texas and Louisiana for four days in March due to flooding.  For the quarter, net revenues decreased $1.8 million, to $32.1 million, or 5.4%, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.3 million, to $5.4 million, or 4.7%.  Excluding March's results, Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Mississippi – Net revenues for Lula and Vicksburg decreased 1.0%, to $23.5 million while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.3 million, to $7.3 million, or 4.2%. 

Vicksburg's net revenues increased $0.6 million, or 6.4%, and Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.1 million, or 2.3%, to $3.1 million as a result of changes in our marketing reinvestment strategy.

The Lula market continues to be negatively impacted by increased competition in the market.  Net revenues at our Lula property decreased $0.8 million, to $14.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.4 million, or 8.6%

Missouri – Net revenues for our Missouri properties increased $1.8 million, to $67.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.1 million, to $22.0 million.  Cape Girardeau produced the highest fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA since opening and Boonville, Caruthersville and Kansas City all produced their respective second highest quarterly Adjusted EBITDA.

Cape Girardeau's net revenues increased $0.8 million, or 5.2%, and Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.0 million, or 25.0%.  The property's Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 455 bps and generated over 100% flow-through on incremental revenues as it continues to ramp up.

In Caruthersville, net revenues increased $1.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA improved by 32.5%, to $3.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margins improved nearly 520 bps primarily due to continued strategic marketing spending and capital investments we have made to the property. 

Boonville continues to post the Company's highest Adjusted EBITDA margin, at 39.1% for the quarter, as it benefited from strategic marketing spending, maintaining a prudent operating cost structure and recent capital investments.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, net revenues increased 1.0%, to $20.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.0%, to $8.1 million.

Kansas City reported its second highest fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA, despite net revenues decreasing 1.4%, to $20.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.9%, to $5.8 million.

Pennsylvania – At Nemacolin, net revenues increased 0.7%, to $9.1 million while the Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $(0.1) million from $(0.2) million. 

Corporate Expenses

Corporate and development expenses were $8.3 million for the quarter compared to $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The current year quarter included expenses related to the former CEO's exit agreement of $0.8 million. 

Non-cash stock compensation expense was $1.2 million for the quarter compared to $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. 

Excluding the aforementioned exit agreement costs and non-cash stock compensation expense, corporate and development expenses declined $0.4 million, or 5.3%, to $6.4 million.

Capital Structure and Capital Expenditures

As of April 24, 2016, the Company had:

  • $62.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding $9.8 million in restricted cash and investments;
  • $922.7 million in total debt; and
  • $224.2 million in net line of credit availability.

Fourth quarter capital expenditures were $6.6 million, excluding spending related to the land-based project in Bettendorf. Capital expenditures were $50.9 million for the fiscal year ended April 24, 2016, excluding the Bettendorf land-based project, and consisted of maintenance and gaming equipment purchases as well as spending related to the hotel renovations in Bettendorf and Boonville.  We spent $19.4 million in fiscal 2016 on the $60 million land-based project at Bettendorf.  For the project-to-date, we have expended $21.6 million.  We expect to incur the remainder of the project cost in the first half of fiscal 2017. 

For fiscal 2017 we provide guidance for the following specific non-operating items:

  • Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to be approximately $78 million to $82 million.
  • Interest expense is expected to be approximately $66 million to $68 million.
  • The Company expects cash income taxes pertaining to fiscal 2017 operations to be less than $2 million.
  • Corporate and development expenses for fiscal 2017 are expected to be approximately $28 million to $29 million, including approximately $5 million in non-cash stock compensation expense.
  • Maintenance and other capital expenditures for fiscal 2017 are expected to be approximately $100 million, inclusive of the remaining spend on the Bettendorf land-based project.

1.

Adjusted EBITDA is "earnings from continuing operations before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, stock-based compensation, certain severance expenses, preopening expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum, certain property tax settlements 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, preopening 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 gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, certain severance expenses, preopening expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum and certain property tax settlements.  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 the gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, certain severance expenses, preopening expenses, certain expenses related to the Colorado gaming referendum and certain property tax settlements.

3.

The Company incurred $0.8 million and $0.9 million of expense during the three and twelve months ended April 24, 2016, respectively, pertaining to the former CEO's exit agreement and had preopening expenses of $0.2 million in the three and twelve months ended April 24, 2016 related to the Bettendorf land-based casino expected to open on June 24, 2016.

4.

Valuation charges in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2015 consist of $9.0 million of impairment on the Nemacolin property, plant and equipment.

5.

During fiscal 2015, the Company incurred $4.1 million of expense related to the Colorado gaming expansion referendum, had a favorable property tax settlement related to our Waterloo property of $1.2 million and recorded $2.3 million of severance expense related to restructuring at the corporate office.
