MADISON, Wis., August 2, 2011Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: WOLF), North Americas
largest family of indoor waterpark resorts, reported results today for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2011.
Second Quarter 2011 Highlights
| Adjusted EBITDA increased 20.9 percent to $20.1 million from the prior year quarter. |
| Same store revenue per available room (RevPAR) increased 16.3 percent and total
revenue per available room (Total RevPAR) increased 14.1 percent over the prior year
quarter, and same store RevPAR increased 10.6 percent for the six months ended June 30,
2011 as compared to the prior year period. |
| Same store occupancy increased by 670 basis points and average daily rate (ADR)
increased 4.5% as compared to the prior year quarter. |
| Improved the Companys ratio of net debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA to
6.6 times as of June 30, 2011 as compared to 8.0 times at December 31, 2009. |
| In July refinanced the mortgage on its Concord, North Carolina property, eliminating
all near-term debt maturities. |
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $(6.8) million,
or $(0.22) per share, compared to a net loss of $(12.8) million, or $(0.41) per share, for the same
period a year earlier. The year over year improvement was due primarily to higher overall
revenues, as well as the effect of a non-cash charge for the write-off of $3.5 million of
unamortized loan costs in the second quarter of 2010.
Our strong results in the second quarter illustrate the appeal of our resorts to
value-conscious consumers, the efficiency of our operations, and the success of our marketing
team, said Kim Schaefer, chief executive officer. I am increasingly optimistic about our outlook
as we are seeing some positive indicators including traction from our heightened focus on new
customer acquisition, the widening of our booking window indicating improving consumer sentiment,
and stronger year over year bookings already recorded for the second half of the year.
Ms. Schaefer continued, I am also pleased with the ongoing progress on improving our balance
sheet. With the refinancing of our Concord property loan in July, we have eliminated all of our
near-term debt maturities and we have meaningfully lowered our leverage statistics over the past 18
months. The fundamentals of our business continue to remain attractive and we are well-positioned
to continue to drive improved results.
Operating Results
Total revenues increased 13.7 percent to $75.7 from $66.6 million in the second quarter of
2010, due primarily to increased demand at the Companys resorts. The Companys results were
positively impacted by the timing of the Easter holiday and many schools spring break periods,
both of which are traditionally strong demand generators, which fell in the second quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA in the 2011 second quarter increased 20.9 percent to $20.1 million from $16.6
million in the second quarter of 2010.
As a percentage of total revenue, Adjusted EBITDA was 26.5 percent, up 159 basis points from
24.9 percent in the second quarter of 2010. As a percentage of total revenues, resort departmental
expenses, property operating costs and SG&A costs combined decreased 66 basis points in the 2011
second quarter as compared to the 2010 period.
Brand Results
Same store RevPAR in the second quarter of 2011 was up 16.3 percent (15.7 percent increase
using constant dollars, which normalizes the foreign currency translation effect on operating
statistics of the Companys Canadian resort) compared to the 2010 quarter. Same store occupancy
was up 670 basis points compared to the prior year quarter. Same store ADR increased 4.5 percent
(3.9 percent increase using constant dollars) compared to the 2010 quarter. Total same store
revenue per occupied room (Total RevPOR), which includes revenue from rooms, food and beverage, and
other amenities, increased 2.5 percent (1.9 percent increase using constant dollars) compared to
the prior year quarter.
To normalize for the shift in Easter and spring break in the calendars, the Company believes
looking at year-over-year RevPAR results for the six months ended June 30 is also meaningful. Over
that six-month period, the Companys same-store 2011 RevPAR increased over the prior year by 10.6
percent (9.9 percent increase using constant dollars).
Same store RevPAR for Great Wolfs Generation II resorts, which are generally larger resorts
that better represent the Companys current resort development model and contribute about 80
percent of the Companys Adjusted EBITDA, increased 17.0 percent (16.2 percent increase using
constant dollars) in the 2011 second quarter versus 2010. Same store occupancy increased 700 basis
points and same store ADR increased 5.2 percent (4.5 percent using constant dollars), and same
store Total RevPOR for Generation II resorts increased 3.0 percent (2.2 percent using constant
dollars) compared to the 2010 quarter.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company has no debt maturities until July 2014 and no significant long-term capital
commitments for construction or development of new properties. Over the near term, the Company
intends to utilize the substantial portion of its free cash flow to manage its balance sheet
leverage.
The Company has reduced its ratio of net debt (defined as total debt less unrestricted cash)
to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA to 6.6 times as of June 30, 2011 as compared to 8.0 times
as of December 31, 2009.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had:
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents: $38.3 million
Total debt: $538.2 million
Total secured debt: $457.7 million
Total unsecured debt: $80.5 million
Weighted average cost of total debt: 8.9 percent
Weighted average debt maturity: 6.5 years
Total debt: $538.2 million
Total secured debt: $457.7 million
Total unsecured debt: $80.5 million
Weighted average cost of total debt: 8.9 percent
Weighted average debt maturity: 6.5 years
Subsequent Event
In July 2011 the Company announced that it had closed on a $56 million mortgage loan on its
Concord, North Carolina property. This new loan refinanced an existing mortgage loan on the
property that was scheduled to mature in April 2012. The new loan is scheduled to mature in July
2014, has a one-year extension option, and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 500 basis points
(with a minimum rate of 6.00 percent per annum). In contrast to the prior loan that included a
full corporate guarantee, the new loan is guaranteed by Great Wolf Resorts up to a maximum amount
of $25 million, with the opportunity to decrease the recourse amount to $14.5 million over time.

Outlook and Guidance
The Company is introducing the following outlook and earnings guidance for the third quarter
and is increasing its outlook for full year 2011. Based on its current operating outlook, the
Company is increasing the midpoint of its guidance for full year Adjusted EBITDA by $1 million from
$76.5 million to $77.5 million. The outlook and earnings guidance information is based on the
Companys current assessment of business conditions, including a forecast of consumer demand and
discretionary spending trends. The Company may update any portion of its business outlook at any
time as conditions dictate:

(a) | For reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, see tables
accompanying this press release. |
The Companys increase in its forecasted net loss for full year 2011 is due mainly to the
effect of a non-cash charge for the write-off of approximately $1.9 million of unamortized loan
costs in conjunction with the refinancing of the Concord mortgage loan in the third quarter of
2011.
The forecast above projects third quarter 2011 same store RevPAR growth in the range of
approximately 8 percent to 10 percent in constant dollars versus third quarter 2010 and full year
2011 same store RevPAR growth in the range of approximately 8 percent to 11 percent.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the discussion below in the Non-GAAP
Financial Measure section of this press release. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to
Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the tables of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Included in this press release is Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure,
which is a measure of the Companys historical or future performance that is different from
measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that Great Wolf Resorts believes is
useful to investors. The following discussion defines Adjusted EBITDA and presents the reasons the
Company believes it is a useful measure of the Companys performance. Great Wolf Resorts defines
Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (a) interest expense, net, (b) income taxes, (c)
depreciation and amortization, (d) non-cash employee and director compensation, (e) costs
associated with early extinguishment of debt or potential capital markets transactions, (f) opening
costs of projects under development, (g) equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated related
parties, (h) gain or loss on disposition of property or investments, (i) separation payments to
senior executives, (j) environmental liability costs, (k) asset impairment charges, (l)
non-controlling interests, (m) acquisition-related expenses, and (n) other unusual or non-recurring
items. Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by the Company is not necessarily comparable to similarly
titled measures by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA (a)
does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, (b) is not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund the Companys cash flow needs, and (c) should not
be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating
activities or the Companys other financial information as determined under GAAP.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA: (i) as a measurement of operating performance because it
assists in comparing the Companys operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the
impact of items directly resulting from the Companys asset base (primarily depreciation and
amortization) from its operating results; (ii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of
the Companys annual operating budget; (iii) as a valuation measure for evaluating the Companys
operating performance and its capacity to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and
expand its business; and (iv) as one measure in determining the value of other acquisitions and
dispositions.
Adjusted EBITDA is an operating performance measure, and not a liquidity measure, that
provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in
capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable
companies. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way
to measure its ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working
capital requirements. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating
the Companys operating performance because: (i) a significant portion of the Companys assets
consists of property and equipment that are depreciated over their remaining useful lives in
accordance with GAAP; (ii) it is widely used in the hospitality and entertainment industries to
measure operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization; and
(iii) the Company believes it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the
Companys operations from period to period by removing the impact of items directly resulting from
its asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from the Companys operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the Companys industry, and the Company presents
EBITDA to enhance investors understanding of its operating performance. The Company uses Adjusted
EBITDA as one criterion for evaluating its performance relative to that of its peers. The
compensation committee of the Companys board of directors determines the annual variable
compensation for certain members of the Companys management based in part on Adjusted EBITDA.
5
The Company also believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it also
eliminates a number of non-cash items and other items that do not reflect the Companys core
operating performance on a consolidated basis, which allows investors to more easily compare the
Companys performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis. Although the Company
believes that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of the Companys operating performance more
consistent because it removes items that do not reflect its core operations, other companies in the
hospitality industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does. As a result, it
may be difficult to compare the performance of other companies to the Companys performance by
using Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use.
