DOVER DOWNS GAMING & ENTERTAINMENT, INC. REPORTS RESULTS

FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

 

Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE-DDE) today reported results for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Gaming revenues of $39,503,000 were down 4.3% compared to the third quarter of 2016.  The revenue decrease was primarily attributable to lower slot machine revenue.

 

Other operating revenues of $5,591,000 were down 3.9% compared to the third quarter of 2016 from small decreases in most non-gaming operations.  Occupancy levels in the Dover Downs Hotel were 89.5% for the third quarter of this year.

 

General and administrative costs were $1,286,000 for the third quarter compared to $1,228,000 last year.

 

Net loss was ($137,000), or $.00 per diluted share compared with net earnings of $520,000 or $.02 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2016.

 

Denis McGlynn, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “It should be apparent that the State’s gaming revenue sharing formula is unsustainable when considering that the Company has paid out $56.4 million to the State and the horsemen, while incurring a pretax loss of $366,000 through the first nine months of this year.  We will continue to pursue a more equitable approach to this industry.”
