SAINT LOUIS, MO — February 28, 2011 — Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISLE) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter and nine-months ended January 23, 2011.

 

In making the announcement, James B.

Compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011:

 

·             Consolidated EBITDA increased 29.3% to $38.1 million;

 

·             Property-level EBITDA increased 16.7% from $40.0 million to $46.6 million, including the contribution of $2.2 million from our newly acquired Vicksburg property;

 

·             Property-level operating expenses increased less than 1%, despite the acquisition of Vicksburg, which was not included in FY2010 results;

 

·             Property EBITDA margins increased 250 basis points to 20.1%, including aggregate margin increases in every state in which the Company operates, except Colorado.

 

Discussing the results, Virginia McDowell, the Company’s president and chief operating officer, remarked, “We were able to increase our property EBITDA by about 17% (11% on a same store basis) on increased revenues of only 2.4% in part as a result of the benefits of lower gaming taxes in Florida and because we are providing an improved guest experience, our marketing programs are driving more profitable business, and our team remains focused on fiscal discipline.

 

“The efficiency we have created in our business is demonstrated by the fact that in the markets where we experienced increased revenues the flow through on year-over-year revenue changes was significant, ranging from about 40% in Marquette to a high of 154% in Waterloo. In addition we were able to increase EBITDA in Lake Charles and Biloxi despite revenue declines year over year.

 

“We remain committed to improving our marketing efficiency and keeping our cost structure aligned with revenue levels while we await better visibility on a sustained economic recovery in the consumer discretionary sector.  While we have not experienced a wide spread increase in consumer spending, we are capitalizing on specific areas of opportunity in our business, and have therefore been successful in achieving improved financial results.  During the quarter we experienced a slight decline in rated visits that was offset by an increase in rated spend.”

 



 

Corporate Expenses, Capital Structure, and Capital Expenditures

 

Corporate and development expenses were $8.7 million for the quarter compared to $11.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  The decrease is primarily due to decreased insurance costs offset by increased expenses related to Missouri and Pennsylvania development efforts.  Non-cash stock compensation was $1.4 million during the quarter, compared to $1.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

The Company had $70.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $1.3 billion at the end of the quarter.

 

Dale R. Black, the Company’s senior vice president and chief financial officer, also provided an update on the completion of the Company’s equity offering in late January.  “We were successful in raising $51.7 million in new capital through the issuance of 5.3 million shares of common stock.  As we stated in the announcement of this offering, we have temporarily used the net proceeds of this transaction to repay our revolving credit line.  This new cash infusion has provided us with improved financial flexibility moving forward, including for the financing of development projects, future capital expenditures and other corporate purposes.”

 

Interest expense for the quarter was $21.5 million; an increase of approximately $4.1 million compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of increased borrowing costs and increased borrowings related to the acquisition of Rainbow Casino in Vicksburg.

 

Capital expenditures during the quarter totaled $20 million, of which $8 million related to Cape Girardeau and $12 million related to maintenance capital expenditures. The Company expects capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year to be approximately $15 million consisting of $10 million in maintenance capital expenditures and $5 million related to Cape Girardeau.

 

Development Update

 

The Company has commenced development efforts for Isle Casino Cape Girardeau, which was selected by the Missouri Gaming Commission in December for prioritization for the 13th and final gaming license in the state. The Company has completed purchase of all land and demolition of existing structures is underway.  As the Company is in the process of selecting a general contractor, we expect to break ground in the summer of calendar 2011.  The $125 million project, which will feature approximately 1,000 slot machines, 28 table games, three restaurants, a lounge and terrace overlooking the Mississippi River and a 750-seat event center, remains on schedule to open in late calendar 2012.

 

In January, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board indefinitely delayed its decision on granting the state’s final Category 3 resort gaming license, for which the Company has applied in partnership with Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.  Since that time, two new gaming board members have been appointed and the Company has received no guidance with respect to the timing of any announcement regarding the license.

(1)   EBITDA is “earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.” “Property EBITDA” is EBITDA before Corporate and development expenses and minority interest.  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 EBITDA and Property EBITDA as the primary measure of the Company’s operating properties’ performance, and they are important components in evaluating the performance of management and other operating personnel in the determination of certain components of employee compensation.  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 EBITDA.  Also, other gaming companies that report EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA in a different manner than the Company.  A reconciliation of EBITDA and Property EBITDA to operating income is included in the financial schedules accompanying this release. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the Company’s net income (loss) is shown below (in thousands).

Certain of our debt agreements use “Adjusted EBITDA” as a financial measure for the calculation of financial debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA includes add back of items such as gain on early extinguishment of debt, pre-opening 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)   Rainbow Casino in Vicksburg, Mississippi was acquired on June 8, 2010 and we have included the results of Rainbow in our consolidated financial statements subsequent to acquisition.

 

(3)   Expense recoveries and other of $(6.8) million for the nine months ended January 24, 2010 reflect income from the recording of a receivable for reimbursement of Pittsburgh development costs.

 

(4)   During October 2009 we demolished the hotel at our casino in Marquette, Iowa. As a result, our operating income for the nine months ended January 24, 2010 includes $0.5 million in demolition costs and $1.0 million in acceleration of remaining depreciation.

 

(5)   Caruthersville includes the favorable impact of $0.9 million from the settlement of a property tax appeal during the nine months ended January 24, 2010.
