In the three months ended December 31, 2006, Penn National Gaming's financial results benefited from a settlement agreement with its property and business interruption insurance providers for a total of $225 million for Hurricane Katrina-related losses at its Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis (formerly known as Casino Magic-Bay St. Louis) and Boomtown Biloxi facilities, as well as minor proceeds related to its National Flood Insurance coverage and auto insurance claims. Both Mississippi facilities sustained significant damage as a result of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. Reflecting the settlement agreement, Penn National Gaming recorded a pre-tax gain of $128.3 million ($81.8 million, net of taxes, or $0.94 per diluted share) in the three months ended December 31, 2006. As a result of the increased asset values resulting from the reconstruction at Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis, the Company determined that all of the goodwill associated with the original purchase of the property has been impaired. Accordingly, Penn National recorded a pre-tax charge of $34.5 million ($22.0 million, net of taxes, or $0.25 per diluted share) in the three months ended December 31, 2006. The Company's performance versus guidance, after giving effect to the insurance recovery and goodwill impairment, is attributable to costs associated with merger and acquisition activity which were expensed in the three months ended December 31, 2006, and increased depreciation as a result of underestimating the depreciation associated with the Gulf Coast assets, as the asset segregation analysis was not completed when the Company provided guidance. The net impact of the costs associated with merger and acquisition activity and underestimation of the depreciation associated with the Gulf Coast assets was $0.04 per diluted share in the three months ended December 31, 2006. In the three months ended December 31, 2005, Penn National Gaming recorded charges of $0.02 and $0.01 per diluted share related to the impact of Hurricane Katrina on two Gulf Coast properties and early extinguishment of debt, respectively. Commenting on the results, Peter M. Carlino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Penn National Gaming said, "During the fourth quarter, our portfolio of regionally diversified assets overcame several challenges including the normalization of results at our Baton Rouge property, as properties closed by Hurricane Katrina reopened, increased insurance costs and the incremental tax in Illinois of 3% of revenue at our Chicago-area facilities. Despite these challenges, our operating management team did an excellent job of driving record fourth quarter revenue and EBITDA that exceeded our guidance. "During the quarter, we also continued to execute on our long-term strategy for growth through acquisition and the development and expansion of gaming facilities. Our focus is on prudently expanding our operating base and generating returns on invested capital that will continue to bring value to our shareholders. In this regard, during the quarter, we evaluated both modest and significant acquisition opportunities, applying a disciplined approach to structuring transactions that would result in the long-term enhancement of shareholder value. We succeeded in New Mexico, entering into a definitive agreement to purchase Zia Park Racetrack and its Black Gold Casino for $200 million, which will result in the operation being accretive to earnings while further diversifying Penn National's regional asset base. Management, in concert with financial and legal advisors, also pursued a significant M&A opportunity during the quarter. In applying our criteria for returns, we adhered to a valuation and structure that our analysis indicated would provide meaningful free cash flow growth and support our long-term goals for value creation. However, the cost of the opportunity reached a level where we felt the returns to our shareholders would not justify the higher level of risk associated with the transaction. While we incurred costs during the quarter related to this process, we are confident that our aggressive -- yet disciplined -- approach to maximizing shareholder returns will continue to serve our shareholders well in the near- and long-term. "We continued to move forward the Company's broad slate of development and expansion projects that are expected to begin to drive new phases of growth for the next several years. As these projects come online, we will be well-positioned to reduce debt or allocate capital in areas that will create even more opportunities to build value at a time when our EBITDA run rate will significantly exceed the levels we are achieving now. "The current expansion under way at Charles Town will add gaming floor capacity for 800 more slots. However, we are slightly revising the opening of this phase of expansion from the first quarter of 2007 to May of this year to reflect certain construction delays. We're also carefully monitoring legislative activity in West Virginia related to table games and, independent of the outcome, development will continue at the property with further gaming floor space for either tables or 1,000 slot machines, the addition of a hotel, parking and additional food and beverage offerings. Earlier this month, Jefferson County approved the Company's plans for a 153-room hotel at Charles Town. Charles Town's fourth quarter revenue and EBITDA were impressive, as they grew 12% and 18%, respectively, despite a lower number of available gaming positions compared to the prior year period. This revenue growth, which partially benefited from a favorable calendar and weather, leads us to be very excited about the continued growth prospects for the facility and its appeal to patrons in the region. "Argosy Casino Riverside recorded a 11% year-over-year fourth quarter revenue growth and 16% EBITDA increase, while progress on the facility's 258-room hotel and 5,200 square feet of new meeting space continued on pace for an April 2007 opening. These amenities will complement an already strong property and its attraction as a regional destination. "Construction of the integrated Hollywood Casino racing and gaming facility at Penn National Race Course is moving forward at full force, with a significant portion of the steel building structure now in place. Our enthusiasm for this project and its prospective returns remains very high based on the demographics and encouraging results reported by the facilities featuring slots that recently opened in Pennsylvania. With our plans to open with 2,000 slots and expand as quickly as demand dictates to 3,000 positions, this project presents Penn National with solid near- and long-term growth opportunities. "Penn National Gaming recently completed the purchase of the former Holiday Inn in Bangor, Maine, where we will build the permanent Hollywood Slots at Bangor facility. With the impressive results being generated by our temporary facility and a substantial number of patrons driving significant distances to Hollywood Slots at Bangor, we are adding a hotel to the plans for the permanent facility, which will feature a two-story, semi-circular, glass tower casino area, a four-story parking garage, restaurants, retail space and a new simulcast facility for off-track wagering. Construction will commence in the first half of 2007 following the demolition of the existing hotel and adjacent buildings. Reflecting higher construction costs and the addition of the hotel, the project budget has been revised to $131 million from $90 million. The permanent facility will initially include 1,000 slots, or roughly double what we operate in Maine today at the temporary facility. Like our facility at Penn National Race Course, we have designed the permanent Bangor site to accommodate future expansion, including up to 1,500 gaming machines. So again, we have considered our goals to achieve both near- and longer-term returns and growth. "Finally, while Argosy Casino Lawrenceburg recorded a year-over-year fourth quarter EBITDA gain, the property remains capacity-constrained, and is impacted by its three-tier layout. Our plans for a new two-level barge, 1,600 more gaming positions and a significant parking expansion will address these impediments. Unfortunately, some aspects of the project's progress remain beyond our control as environmental and archeological studies continue to be conducted at the site. As a result, we are disappointed that the expected opening date for the parking facility will now be in the second quarter of 2008, while the expanded casino floor will open in the second quarter of 2009. "Reflecting our continued disciplined approach to growth, Penn National Gaming delivered exceptional 2006 operating results and gains over 2005. As indicated in our guidance, 2007 will be somewhat of a transition year as we largely operate our existing base of properties and move forward our diversified, staggered development pipeline. We expect these projects to significantly benefit 2008 results and beyond."
