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, Property EBITDA and free cash flow. The following discussion defines these terms and why we believe they are useful measures of our performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (collectively “EBITDA”)

As presented herein with respect to Boyd Gaming Corporation

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry which we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, gives investors a more complete understanding of 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 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 do not reflect such items when calculating EBITDA; however, we adjust for these items and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA. 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 management in its 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 determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is also widely 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, write-downs and other charges, net, increase in value of derivative instruments, gain on early retirements of debt, other non-operating expenses, and our share of Borgata’s non-operating expenses, preopening expenses and other items and write-downs, net. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA includes corporate expense. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), based upon GAAP, is included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

Property EBITDA, and Consolidated Property EBITDA

As presented herein with respect to Peninsula Gaming Corp.

Property EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Property EBITDA is adjusted, as applicable, for pre-opening expense, affiliate management fees, loss from equity affiliate, gain or loss on disposal of assets and gain on settlement. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Property Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, the use of these measures should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company has significant uses of cash, including capital expenditures, interest payments and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Property Adjusted EBITDA

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry which we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, gives investors a more complete understanding of operating results before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes and facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors. We use free cash flow to measure our financial performance and ability to repay obligations as they become due, considering our debt servicing requirements, capital expenditures related to maintaining our properties and income taxes as due.

Limitations on the Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The use of EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and certain other non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of EBITDA, Free Cash Flow 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. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, 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 GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and certain other non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Free Cash Flow 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, Free Cash Flow 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 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.
