DOVER DOWNS GAMING & ENTERTAINMENT, INC. REPORTS RESULTS

FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018

 

Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE-DDE) today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Gaming revenues increased 4.2% to $35,868,000 compared to $34,435,000 for the fourth quarter of 2017.  Slot machine and table game win were both higher, and sports betting win improved as a result of recently expanded sports wagering in Delaware.  These increases were offset by lower wagering on horse racing compared to last year.

 

Other operating revenues of $10,764,000 were up 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 from an increase in food and beverage and rooms revenue.  Occupancy levels in the Dover Downs Hotel were approximately 83% and 80% for the fourth quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

General and administrative costs were $1,242,000 for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $1,297,000 last year.

 

Costs incurred during the fourth quarter related to the Company’s pending merger with Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. were $325,000.

 

Including the merger related costs, the Company’s pretax earnings were $686,000 compared with a ($235,000) pretax loss for the fourth quarter of last year.

 

Net earnings were $419,000, or $.01 per diluted share compared with a net loss of ($841,000) or ($.03) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2017.  The fourth quarter of 2017 results were impacted by the Tax Cuts and Job Act, which resulted in an income tax expense of $662,000, or ($.02) per diluted share.

 

For the year as a whole, total revenues increased 2% to $179,931,000, while pretax earnings were $417,000 compared to a pretax loss of ($619,000) in 2017. Excluding merger related costs, pretax earnings for 2018 were $1,507,000.

 

Capital spending was $4,826,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $2,193,000 for 2017.

(1)         Merger costs, which are non-deductible for income tax purposes, relate to legal, accounting and investment banking expenses incurred in connection with our pending merger with Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc.

 

(2)         The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 lowered our future federal income tax rate to 21% requiring us to revalue net deferred federal tax assets.

 

(3)         The components of GAAP net loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2017 do not add to the adjusted net loss per common share due to rounding.

 

The above financial information is presented using other than generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”), and is reconciled to comparable information presented using GAAP.  Non-GAAP adjusted earnings (loss) before income taxes, net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per common share - basic and diluted are derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for the aforementioned merger costs and federal income tax reform.  We believe such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful to investors, and is used by investors and us to assess core operations.  This non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings (loss) before income taxes, net earnings (loss) or net earnings (loss) per common share - basic and diluted, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.
