Caesars Acquisition Company was formed to make an investment in CGP LLC, owns 100% of the voting membership units of CGP LLC and accounts for its investment under the equity method.
Financial Results Second Quarter 2016 results compared with Second Quarter 2015 Net revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $673.6 million as compared to $576.2 million for the respective period in 2015, which was an increase of $97.4 million, or 16.9%. The increase in revenue for Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. was primarily driven by strong organic growth in the social and mobile games operating unit due to the continued focus on conversion and monetization. The increase in revenues for Casino Properties and Developments was primarily due to an increase in casino revenues at Horseshoe Casino - Baltimore, an increase in entertainment revenues at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, and increases in all categories of revenues as a result of renovations at The LINQ Hotel & Casino which was substantially completed and available to guests in early May 2015. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2016 was $90.3 million as compared to $98.4 million for the same period in 2015, which was a decrease of $8.1 million, or 8.2%. The decrease in income from operations was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expense at CIE offset by the income impact of year over year revenue growth at CIE and Horseshoe Baltimore and increased revenues as a result of renovations at The LINQ Hotel & Casino. Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $24.3 million as compared to $37.0 million for the same period in 2015, which was a decrease of $12.7 million, or 34.3%. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the factors discussed for the decrease in income from operations as well as increases in interest expense and the provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 was $213.3 million as compared to $160.4 million for the same period in 2015, which is an increase of $52.9 million, or 33.0%, driven primarily by the income impact of increased revenues at CIE, Horseshoe Baltimore, Planet Hollywood, and The LINQ Hotel & Casino. Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 results compared with June 30, 2015 Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $1,317.2 million as compared to $1,142.7 million for the respective period in 2015, which was an increase of $174.5 million, or 15.3%. The increase in revenue for CIE was primarily driven by strong organic growth in CIE's social and mobile games operating unit due to the continued focus on conversion and monetization. The increase in revenues for Casino Properties and Developments was primarily due to an increase in casino revenues at Horseshoe Casino - Baltimore, an increase in entertainment revenues at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, and increases in all categories of revenues as a result of renovations at The Linq Hotel & Casino. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues at Harrah's New Orleans Casino as a result of the April 2015 smoking ban. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $206.2 million as compared to $303.1 million for the same period in 2015, which was a decrease of $96.9 million, or 32.0%. The decrease in income from operations is primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of contingently issuable non-voting membership units recognized in the prior year with no comparable change recognized subsequent to December 31, 2015, and increased stock-based compensation expense at CIE. Excluding the impact of the change in fair value of contingently issuable non-voting membership units and the increase in stock-based compensation expense at CIE, income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $92.0 million when compared to the same period in 2015 due to the income impact of year over year revenue growth at CIE and Horseshoe Baltimore and increased revenues as a result of renovations at The LINQ Hotel & Casino.
