Boyd Gaming Reports Second-Quarter 2015 Results - Boyd Gaming (NYSE:BYD)

Second-Quarter 2015 Highlights

- All Business Segments Grow Gaming and Non-Gaming Revenues

- Company Achieves Double-Digit EBITDA Gains for Third Straight Quarter

- Companywide Operating Margins Improve for Fifth Consecutive Quarter

LAS VEGAS, July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Boyd Gaming Corporation BYD today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Boyd Gaming reported second-quarter 2015 net revenues of $559.9 million, an increase of $19.2 million, or 3.5%, from pro forma net revenues of $540.7 million for the same quarter in 2014. Total Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾was $162.9 million, up $23.6 million or 17.0% from the comparable pro forma amount of $139.3 million for the year-ago period. Effective September 30, 2014, the Company deconsolidated Borgata and is accounting for its 50% investment in Borgata by applying the equity method for periods subsequent to that date. The prior-year pro forma amounts reflect the results for Borgata on a comparable equity method basis.

Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, said: "This was an exceptional quarter for our Company, as our property management teams successfully capitalized on a strengthening consumer environment to deliver broad-based revenue growth. At the same time, we continued driving efficiencies to further improve our cost structure, leading to strong flow-through and our third straight quarter of double-digit EBITDA gains. In addition, the upgrades we are making to enhance our amenities also contributed to revenue growth across the portfolio. We are pleased with the progress we have made so far this year, and we remain focused on continuing to produce strong results for our shareholders."

Adjusted Earnings⁽¹⁾ for the second quarter 2015 were $26.9 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to $5.2 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period in 2014. The calculations of Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per share, and pro forma results reflecting Borgata on a comparable basis for all periods are presented in tables at the end of this press release.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $6.4 million, or $0.06 per share, for the second quarter 2015, due to pretax losses on the early extinguishments of debt of $31.0 million primarily related to the Company's redemption of its 9.125% Senior Notes due 2018. By comparison, the Company reported net income of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per share, for the year-ago period.

Key Operations Review

Las Vegas Locals

In the Las Vegas Locals segment, second-quarter 2015 net revenues rose 3.2% to $153.0 million, compared to $148.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Second-quarter 2015 Adjusted EBITDA grew 15.3% to $42.2 million, compared to $36.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Despite significant disruption from roadwork next to Suncoast and Sam's Town, all four of the Company's major Locals properties achieved year-over-year EBITDA growth, led by continued strength at The Orleans and Gold Coast. Gaming revenues in the Las Vegas Locals segment increased year-over-year, with particularly strong growth in table games. Additionally, non-gaming revenues grew for the eighth consecutive quarter.

Downtown Las Vegas

In the Downtown Las Vegas segment, net revenues increased $2.9 million to $58.4 million, compared to $55.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million, up $3.8 million from $8.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Significant growth in pedestrian traffic along Fremont Street, as well as continued strength in Hawaiian visitation, contributed to gaming and non-gaming revenue growth at all three downtown properties. EBITDA also benefitted from lower year-over-year fuel costs at the Company's Hawaiian charter service.

Midwest and South; Peninsula

In the Midwest and South segment, net revenues were $217.8 million, an increase of 4.1% from $209.1 million in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA increased 22.7% to $51.8 million, compared to $42.2 million in the year-ago period.

The Peninsula segment reported net revenues of $130.6 million, up 2.2% from $127.8 million in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA grew 8.6% to $49.2 million, compared to $45.3 million in the year-ago period.

Eleven of the 12 properties in the combined segments reported year-over-year EBITDA growth, as nine properties posted double-digit gains. Solid revenue growth and further operational refinements led to substantial flow-through across the two segments, as combined operating margins improved by 300 basis points. Additionally, Kansas Star achieved record second-quarter EBITDA.

Borgata

Borgata reported second-quarter 2015 net revenues of $191.2 million, increasing 5.1% from $181.9 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA was $44.5 million, up 4.4% from $42.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding a one-time property tax benefit of $11.8 million recorded in the year-ago quarter, Borgata grew EBITDA by approximately 45% in the second quarter of 2015.

Due to its deconsolidation, the Company now applies the equity method of accounting to its 50% investment in Borgata. The Company's share of Borgata's Adjusted EBITDA was $22.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $21.3 million, inclusive of the Company's share of the one-time property tax benefit, in the prior-year period.

Borgata achieved growth throughout the business, with revenue increases in gaming, hotel, food and beverage, and entertainment. The property increased its market share of gross gaming revenue by nearly 400 basis points year-over-year, to more than 27% of the Atlantic City market. Online gaming contributed $1.6 million to EBITDA during the second quarter, marking a fourth consecutive quarter of profitability.

Balance Sheet Statistics

As of June 30, 2015, Boyd Gaming had cash on hand of $124.5 million, including $26.4 million related to Peninsula. Total debt was $3.40 billion, of which $1.04 billion was related to Peninsula. As a result of the deconsolidation, Borgata's cash and debt balances are no longer included in the Company's balance sheet. Borgata had cash on hand of $35.1 million and total debt of $710.8 million at June 30, 2015.

In May, the Company completed a public offering of $750 million in 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023. Net proceeds were used to redeem the Company's existing $500 million in 9.125% Senior Notes due 2018, and to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.

Full Year 2015 Guidance

Based on second-quarter results, and to reflect positive trends in the business, the Company is raising its previously provided guidance for the full year 2015. The Company now projects total Adjusted EBITDA, including Peninsula and 50% of Borgata's Adjusted EBITDA, of $575 million to $595 million.

(a)	These financial statements present the financial results reported by Borgata on a standalone basis and do not include consolidation adjustments recorded by Boyd Gaming during the period that Boyd Gaming consolidated Borgata.

Boyd Gaming Corporation
Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Information

Boyd Gaming Corporation ("Boyd Gaming") and MGM Resorts International ("MGM") each originally held a 50% interest in Marina District Development Holding Co., LLC ("Holding Company"). Holding Company owns all the equity interests in Marina District Development Company, LLC, d.b.a. Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa ("Borgata"). Boyd Gaming is the managing member of Holding Company and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Borgata.

In February 2010, Boyd Gaming entered into an agreement with MGM to amend the operating agreement to, among other things, facilitate the transfer of MGM's interest in Holding Company ("MGM Interest") to a divestiture trust (the "Divestiture Trust") established for the purpose of selling the MGM Interest to a third party. The proposed sale of the MGM Interest through the Divestiture Trust was part of a then-proposed settlement agreement between MGM and the New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement (the "NJDGE").

On March 17, 2010, MGM announced that its settlement agreement with the NJDGE had been approved by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission ("NJCCC"). MGM transferred the MGM Interest into the Divestiture Trust on March 24, 2010, and Boyd Gaming determined that it had control, as defined in the relevant accounting literature, of Holding Company and commenced consolidating the business as of that date. Subsequent to a Joint Petition of MGM, Boyd Gaming and Holding Company, on February 13, 2013, the NJCCC approved amendments to the settlement agreement which permitted MGM to file an application for a statement of compliance, which, if approved, would permit MGM to reacquire its interest in Holding Company.

The NJCCC approved MGM's application for licensure on September 10, 2014. On September 30, 2014, the Divestiture Trust was dissolved and MGM reacquired its Borgata ownership interest and its substantive participation rights in the management of Borgata. As a result, Boyd Gaming deconsolidated Borgata as of the close of business on September 30, 2014, and is accounting for its investment in Borgata applying the equity method for periods subsequent to the deconsolidation.

The following unaudited supplemental information presents Boyd Gaming's financial results for three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and pro forma financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The prior year unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to:

the deconsolidation by Boyd Gaming of Holding Company, and
the recording by Boyd Gaming using the equity method of accounting for its 50% share of the operating results of Holding Company for the periods presented,

and assumes that these transactions occurred as of January 1, 2014.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma information has been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions that are deemed appropriate by Boyd Gaming's management. The pro forma information is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of Boyd Gaming's actual results that would have been reported had the transactions occurred on the date indicated, nor does the information represent a forecast of Boyd Gaming's financial results for any future period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Regulation G, "Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," prescribes the conditions for use of non-GAAP financial information in public disclosures. We believe that our presentations of the following non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance to investors: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS). The following discussion defines these terms and why we believe they are useful measures of our performance. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding forward-looking GAAP measure due to our inability to project special charges and certain expenses.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), provides our investors a more complete understanding of our operating results before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes and facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors. Management has historically adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. We refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core on-going operations. We have historically reported this measure to our investors and believe that the continued inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency in our financial reporting. We use Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because we believe it is useful to investors in allowing greater transparency related to a significant measure used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making. Adjusted EBITDA is among the more significant factors in management's internal evaluation of total company and individual property performance and in the evaluation of incentive compensation related to property management. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in the evaluation of potential acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by management in the annual budget process. Externally, we believe these measures continue to be used by investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of our company. Adjusted EBITDA reflects EBITDA adjusted for deferred rent, preopening expenses, share-based compensation expense, impairments of assets, asset transactions costs, loss on early extinguishments of debt and other operating charges, net, and Borgata's non-operating expenses, preopening expenses and other items and write-downs, net. For periods prior to the September 30, 2014, deconsolidation of Borgata, the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA includes 100% of the adjusting items for Borgata. For periods after the date of deconsolidation, the calculation includes Boyd's share of the adjusting items. Pro forma EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA reflect Borgata on the equity method for all periods presented. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA include corporate expense.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted Earnings is net income (loss) before preopening expenses, asset transactions costs, net gains on insurance settlements, impairments of assets, certain adjustments to property tax accruals, write-downs and other charges, net, accelerated amortization of deferred loan fees, gain or loss on early retirements of debt, other non-recurring adjustments, net, valuation adjustments related to the consolidation of Borgata, the impact on Boyd's income tax provision of tax audit settlements, and Borgata's preopening expenses and other items and write-downs, net. For periods prior to the September 30, 2014, deconsolidation of Borgata, the calculation of Adjusted Earnings includes 100% of the adjusting items for Borgata. For periods after the date of deconsolidation, the calculation includes Boyd's share of the adjusting items. Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are presented solely as supplemental disclosures because management believes that they are widely used measures of performance in the gaming industry.

Limitations on the Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS or certain other non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes, capital expenditures and other items both in our reconciliations to the historical GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP, nor should these measures be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding historical GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
