FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 8, 2013

 

 

Greektown Superholdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results

 

DETROIT, November 8, 2013 – Greektown Superholdings, Inc. (“Greektown” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2013. Financial highlights for the third quarter include:

 

·Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $73.5 million compared to $79.5 million for the same quarter of 2012, a decrease of 7.6%.

 

·Income from operations for the third quarter decreased to $5.6 million compared to $9.8 million a year ago.

 

·Net loss attributable to Greektown Superholdings, Inc. decreased to $5.9 million compared to $6.7 million a year ago.

 

·EBITDA(1) decreased to $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $17.1 million in the same quarter of 2012. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 included approximately $0.8 million of costs related to the Company’s ownership transition.

 

Due to the significance of the ownership interest in Greektown acquired by Athens Acquisition LLC in April 2013, Greektown’s assets and liabilities were revalued based on their fair values, effective as of April 1, 2013. Accordingly, a new basis of accounting has been established and, for accounting purposes, the old entity (referred to as the “Predecessor” in the accompanying financial statements) has been terminated and a new entity (referred to as the “Successor”) has been created. In addition, the revaluation of assets and liabilities resulted in reduced depreciation and amortization expense and other non-operating expenses and a premium on the Senior Secured Notes.

 

(1) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a measurement not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) but is commonly used in the gaming industry as a measure of performance and as a basis for valuation of gaming companies. Reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA is attached to this release. EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate our operations. However, EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of our operating performance) or to cash flows from operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies calculate EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, the Company’s EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
