Eldorado Resorts (NASDAQ: ERI) reported Q2 EPS of $0.47, $0.03 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.50. Revenue for the quarter came in at $456.8 million versus the consensus estimate of $461.54 million.

“In the second quarter, Adjusted EBITDA rose at 16 of our 20 properties as all four of our property reporting segments generated year-over-year gains including double digit Adjusted EBITDA growth in our East, West and South segments,” said Gary Carano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado. “On a consolidated basis, second quarter Adjusted EBITDA rose 12.7% to $118.0 million, as our property level Adjusted EBITDA margin rose 290 basis points to 27.5% and our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 300 basis points to 25.8%.

“Our strong margin growth, including property level and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin growth in every quarter since our May 2017 acquisition of Isle of Capri, reflects the benefit of our focus on disciplined marketing and promotion, advertising, food and beverage and labor expense management. Our record results also reflect success in driving better customer experiences across our property portfolio through an emphasis on market-leading guest services and targeted return-focused property enhancement projects. With the bulk of our planned major capital investments and enhancements complete in Reno, our recent rebranding of the three-property operations across six contiguous city blocks as ‘THE ROW’ has been met with an enthusiastic response from our guests. THE ROW leverages our integrated design and property enhancements and amplifies the convenience, amenities, entertainment and quality of Eldorado Resort Casino, Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno and Circus Circus Reno. Our recent investments in the Reno market have resulted in revenue improvements with growth in high margin, non-gaming revenue channels. This fall THE ROW will open the The Spa at Silver Legacy, a 21,000 square foot spa that will offer our guests the largest relaxation, beauty, fitness and retail treatment facility in northern Nevada.

“Additional projects scheduled to be completed over the balance of this year include the renovation of approximately 400 rooms at Silver Legacy and the opening of Brew Brothers restaurants at Isle Casino Waterloo and Isle of Capri Casino Boonville. Following the opening of the two new Brew Brothers locations, the successful microbrew concept will be featured at five of our properties. In addition, renovations to all 402 rooms at our Black Hawk properties will begin at the end of the year and are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.

“We are pleased with our 2018 results to date and expect that the Grand Victoria Casino and pending Tropicana Entertainment acquisitions, combined with the strong operations of our existing properties, will position us for additional growth in the future as we continue to pursue opportunities to create additional value for shareholders.”
