Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 1, 2017, Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (“ERI” or the “Company”) consummated its acquisition of Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Isle”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of September 19, 2016 with Isle, Eagle I Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI, and Eagle II Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI (the “Isle Acquisition”). As a result of the Isle Acquisition, Isle became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI.

ERI reports its financial results on a calendar fiscal year. Prior to the Isle Acquisition, Isle’s fiscal year typically ended on the last Sunday in April. Isle’s fiscal 2017 and 2016 were 52-week years, which commenced on April 25, 2016 and April 27, 2015, respectively.

The following table sets forth Isle’s unaudited consolidated historical net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) as previously reported for the fiscal quarters ended January 24, April 24, July 24 and October 23, 2016 and January 22, 2017. The table below also sets forth Isle’s unaudited consolidated historical net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the calendar quarters ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017. Such information was prepared by the Company to reflect Isle’s unaudited consolidated historical net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for periods corresponding to ERI’s fiscal quarterly calendar. Such figures are based on unaudited internal financial statements and have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors. Such presentation does not conform with GAAP or the Securities and Exchange Commission rules for proforma presentation; however, we believe that the additional financial information will be helpful to users in comparing current results with results of prior periods. This non-GAAP data should not be considered as a substitute for data prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the results of operations reported by Isle and the Company.

The following table summarizes net revenues for the periods presented (unaudited, in thousands):

	Net Revenues, Fiscal Quarter Ended										Net Revenues, Calendar Quarter Ended

Adjusted EBITDA, a non GAAP financial measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry and we believe that this non GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, certain preopening and severance expenses, gain on sale of assets and valuation charges to the extent that such items existed in the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, debt principal repayments and certain regulatory gaming assessments, which can be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. Other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as the definitions used in any of our debt agreements.

The following tables summarize Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented, in addition to reconciling Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (loss) (unaudited, in thousands):
