Golden Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDEN) (“Golden Entertainment” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. On July 31, 2015, Sartini Gaming, Inc. (“Sartini Gaming”) merged with a subsidiary of Lakes Entertainment (the “Merger”) and the Company was renamed Golden Entertainment. The Company’s financial results prior to July 31, 2015 do not include the operations of Sartini Gaming.

Key Highlights and Recent Developments

  • Net revenues for the quarter were $104.2 million, compared to $62.5 million in the prior year quarter, with the increase due primarily to the Merger and results from the Company’s newly acquired distributed gaming operations in the state of Montana. Net revenues for the current quarter increased 20.9% compared to the Combined Net Revenues of the Company and Sartini Gaming of $86.2 million in the prior year quarter.
  • Net income for the quarter was $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. The current quarter included higher than usual share-based compensation expense related to equitable adjustments made to the exercise prices of outstanding options in connection with the special dividend paid in July 2016. The prior year quarter included an income tax benefit of $12.9 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $12.6 million, compared to $7.1 million in the prior year quarter, with the increase due primarily to the Merger, the acquisitions of Montana distributed gaming businesses and the opening of new taverns in the Las Vegas Valley. Adjusted EBITDA for the current quarter increased 26.5% compared to the Combined Adjusted EBITDA of the Company and Sartini Gaming of $9.9 million in the prior year quarter.
  • Net revenues for the quarter from the Distributed Gaming segment were $78.3 million, compared to $61.2 million of Combined Net Revenues for this segment in the prior year quarter, an increase of 27.9%.
  • The three months ended September 30, 2016 marked the first full quarter of operations following the acquisitions of distributed gaming assets in Montana in January and April 2016. The Company’s Montana operations contributed $15.1 million of net revenues to the Distributed Gaming segment during the quarter.

“The third quarter represents another period of strong economic results for Golden Entertainment,” said Blake L. Sartini, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Entertainment. “We continue to see significant same store strength in each jurisdiction in which we operate, and believe there are additional organic as well as external growth opportunities as we look forward.”

During the third quarter, the Company opened its fourth branded tavern this year and its 50th property in the Las Vegas Valley. The Company plans to open a fifth branded tavern in Las Vegas before the end of the year.

“We see significant benefits and opportunities that are derived from having a uniquely diversified gaming company operating across differing segments and in multiple jurisdictions,” Sartini said.

Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Results

The following illustrates for each segment net revenues, net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and, given the Merger in July 2015, Combined Net Revenues, Combined Net Income (Loss) and Combined Adjusted EBITDA for the Company and Sartini Gaming for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. These combined financial results have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have resulted had the Merger occurred on the first day of such period, or of the future results of the Company. The combined results do not reflect any operating efficiencies and associated cost savings that may be achieved as a result of the Merger.

   Combined Net Revenues, Combined Net Income (Loss) and Combined Adjusted EBITDA reflect the operations of Sartini Gaming for periods prior to the Merger combined with the operations of the Company, without adjustment and do not conform to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules for pro forma financial information; however, we have included the combined results because we believe they provide a meaningful comparison for the periods presented.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $40.0 million.

The $1.71 per eligible share amount of the Special Dividend was calculated by dividing the aggregate amount of the Special Dividend by 13,759,374 outstanding shares of common stock held by eligible shareholders on the close of business on the Record Date (rounded down to the nearest whole cent per share).

These forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and readers are therefore cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Net Revenues, Combined Net Income (Loss) and Combined Adjusted EBITDA, which measures the Company believes are appropriate to provide meaningful comparison with, and to enhance an overall understanding of, the Company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA (and associated margin calculations) provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses and gains that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Further, Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance and is widely used in the gaming industry. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies in the gaming industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Net Income (Loss) to net income (loss) are provided in the financial information tables below. Additionally, a reconciliation of net revenues to Combined Net Revenues is provided in the financial information tables below.

The Company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, Merger expenses, share-based compensation expenses, impairments and other gains and losses. “Adjusted EBITDA” for a particular segment is Adjusted EBITDA before corporate overhead, which is not allocated to each segment. The Company defines “Adjusted EBITDA margins” for the Company or a particular segment as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues for the Company or such segment, as applicable.
