Item
7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
This
filing corrects comparative 2006 Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2007
earnings release for Century Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”). This
filing does not change any 2007 data in the earnings release.
On
November 9, 2007, the Company issued an earnings release announcing its
financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 (the “Release”)
and held a conference call to discuss such financial results.
In the
Release, the amount of pre-opening expenses included in the reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 (the “Reconciliation”) incorrectly included interest charges and
management fees, resulting in the overstatement of the 2006 Adjusted EBITDA
numbers throughout the Release. As a result, the actual increase in
Adjusted EBITDA achieved when comparing the results for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007 to the same periods in 2006 is greater than
originally reported.
We
incorrectly reported pre-opening expenses (excluding the interest charges and
management fees) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 in the
Reconciliation as $602,000 and $2,115,000, respectively. The correct
amount of pre-opening expenses (excluding the interest charges and management
fees) for the periods is $379,000 and $1,214,000, respectively.
For the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we previously reported
the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA as $4,200,000 and $10,562,000,
respectively. The corrected results for the periods are $3,977,000
and $9,661,000, respectively.
Based on
the incorrect numbers we reported that the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA had
increased by 40% and 50%, respectively for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007 over the Adjusted EBITDA achieved in the same periods in
2006. Based on the corrected numbers the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA
increased by 48% and 64% when comparing these same periods.
For the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we previously reported
Century Casino and Hotel Central City, Colorado Adjusted EBITDA as $949,000 and
$1,622,000, respectively. The corrected result for the both periods
is $829,000.
For the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we previously reported
Century Casino and Hotel Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Adjusted EBITDA as $103,000
and $108,000, respectively. The corrected result for both periods is
zero.
This
filing corrects the amount of additional Adjusted EBITDA contributed to the
Company by the new casinos in Central City, Colorado; Newcastle, South Africa;
and Edmonton, Canada. We previously reported that the three new casinos
contributed an additional $2,306,000 to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months
ended September 30, 2007 and $7,286,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007. The three new casinos actually contributed an additional
$2,529,000 and $8,187,000, respectively to these periods.
As a
result of the corrections, the following tables provided in the Release are
adjusted and restated accordingly:
