Red Rock Resorts Announces Second Quarter 2017 Results

LAS VEGASAug. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Rock Resorts, Inc. ("Red Rock Resorts" "we" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:RRR) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Net revenues were $403.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 14.8%, or $52.0 million, from $351.5 million for the same period of 2016.  The increase was primarily the result of the addition of $39.8 million of net revenues from the Palms Casino Resort (the "Palms"), an $8.8 millionincrease from same-store Las Vegas Operations and a $3.2 million increase from Native American Operations.

Net loss attributable to Red Rock Resorts was $25.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of $31.6 million, from net income of $5.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period of 2016.  The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to the acquisition of the leases at Boulder Station and Texas Station, partially offset by lower income tax.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $119.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, a 1.8% increase from $117.4 million in the same period of 2016.  The increase was the result of the addition of the Palms in operating results and continued strength in Native American Operations.

Red Rock Resorts also announced on August 4, 2017 that the Company had approved a cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on August 31, 2017 to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2017. 

Las Vegas Operations

Net revenues from Las Vegas Operations were $371.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, a 15.1% increase from $322.9 million in the same period of 2016, primarily due to the addition of the Palms.  Adjusted EBITDA(1) from Las Vegas Operations was $104.7 million for the second quarter of 2017, a 0.1% increase from $104.6 million in the same period of 2016, primarily due to the addition of the Palms and partially offset by continued construction disruption at Palace Station.

Native American Operations

Adjusted EBITDA(1) from Native American Operations was $22.7 million for the second quarter of 2017, a 12.9% increase from $20.1 million in the same period of 2016 due to continued strength at both Graton and Gun Lake

Balance Sheet Highlights

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 were $125.3 million and total principal amount of debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $2.57 billion. As of June 30, 2017, debt (net of cash) to Adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio was 4.96 times and interest coverage was at 4.58 times, proforma for the acquisition of the Palms.

Presentation of Financial Information

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measurement and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes that it is a widely used measure of operating performance in the gaming industry and is a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. We believe that in addition to net (loss) income, Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing our operating performance because it provides information about the performance of our ongoing core operations excluding non-cash expenses, financing costs, and other non-operational items. Adjusted EBITDA includes net (loss) income plus preopening, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, write-downs and other charges, net, related party lease termination, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment/modification of debt, net, change in fair value of derivative instruments and income taxes, and excludes Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the noncontrolling interests of MPM.
