* The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest,
income taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening expenses, non-cash stock
based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, gains (losses) on
disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, realized foreign currency
gains (losses) and certain other one-time items. Intercompany transactions
consisting primarily of management and royalty fees and interest, along with
their related tax effects, are excluded from the presentation of net earnings
and Adjusted EBITDA reported for each property. Not all of the aforementioned
items occur in each reporting period, but have been included in the definition
based on historical activity. These adjustments have no effect on the
consolidated results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered
a measure of performance recognized under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Management believes that Adjusted
EBITDA is a valuable measure of the relative performance of its properties and
the Company. The gaming industry commonly uses Adjusted EBITDA as a method of
arriving at the economic value of a casino operation. Management uses Adjusted
EBITDA to compare the relative operating performance of separate operating
units by eliminating the above mentioned items associated with the varying
levels of capital expenditures for infrastructure required to generate revenue,
and the often high cost of acquiring existing operations. EBITDA (Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is used by the Company´s
lending institution to gauge operating performance. The Company´s computation
of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable
to, similar measures used by other companies. Please see the reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to earnings (loss) above.
** The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by
net operating revenue. Management uses this margin as one of several measures
to evaluate the efficiency of the Company´s casino operations.
