DOVER, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: DDE) today reported results for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
The Company's revenues fell 6.4% to $59,814,000 compared with $63,929,000 for the third quarter of 2008. Gaming revenues were down 5.8% while other operating revenues were down 13.3%.
Gaming expenses were higher from significantly increased gaming taxes and fees that became effective at the end of May of 2009. The impact of these tax increases was approximately $3.6 million or $.07 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2009.
Occupancy levels in the 500 room Dover Downs Hotel were approximately 95% for the third quarter of 2009, but cash room sales were lower than the comparable quarter last year. Margins for all other revenues improved during the quarter.
The Company had previously completed architectural and engineering work related to a Phase 7 casino expansion that would have included, among other things, a new sports book facility and a parking garage. Given the recent US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit decision to limit the extent of sports wagering in Delaware and the higher gaming tax rates that were recently legislated, the Company has decided not to proceed with this project. As a result, $2,177,000 of previously capitalized costs related to this project were written off during the quarter.
Interest expense decreased $406,000 during the quarter, primarily from lower average borrowings and lower interest rates.
Excluding the impact of the non-cash impairment charge, net earnings were $2,523,000, or $.08 per diluted share, compared with $4,996,000, or $.16 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2008.
Including the impairment charge, net earnings were $1,231,000, or $.04 per diluted share.
Denis McGlynn, President and CEO of Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. stated, "Thanks to the high quality amenities we've assembled in recent years, our revenues held up fairly well considering the current operating environment. Our task will now be to continue to strive for growth and margin improvements".
The Company announced yesterday that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.05 per share. The dividend is payable on December 10, 2009 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 10, 2009.
