LAS VEGAS, March 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ACME Inc. (NYSE: ) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010.

For the fourth quarter 2010, we reported a net loss of $7.1 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.01 per share, in the same period last year.

Adjusted Earnings(1) for the fourth quarter 2010 reflect a loss of $3.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to earnings of $0.2 million, or less than $0.01 per share, for the same period in 2009. Certain pre-tax items included in Adjusted Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2010 resulted in a net increase in income of $4.9 million ($3.2 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per share). By comparison, certain pre-tax items included in Adjusted Earnings for the fourth quarter 2009 resulted in a net increase in income of $2.0 million ($1.2 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per share). Pre-tax items included in adjusted earnings are listed in a table at the end of this press release.

Net revenues were $551.9 million for the fourth quarter 2010, compared to $560.4 million(2) during the same quarter in 2009, a decrease of 1.5%. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $100.0 million for the quarter, a decrease of 3.1% from $103.2 million(2) in the prior year.

Commenting on the quarter, Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACME Inc., said, "As expected, fourth-quarter comparisons were the best of the year, as business conditions and consumer confidence continued to improve. As the economic recovery gains momentum, we anticipate we will see increases in both visitation and spend-per-visit, resulting in a return to consistent growth across our business this year."

Full-Year 2010 Results

We reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2010, of $10.3 million, or $0.12 per share. By comparison, we reported net income of $4.2 million, or $0.05 per share for the full year ended December 31, 2009.

Adjusted Earnings for the full year 2010 were $10.6 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $31.6 million, or $0.37 per share for the full year 2009.

Net revenues as reported were $2.14 billion and $1.64 billion for the full year ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $420.3 million for 2010, as compared to $389.5 million in 2009. The 2010 results reflect the consolidation of Borgata, effective March 24, 2010.

Consolidating Borgata on a pro forma basis for the full year 2010 and 2009, net revenues were $2.30 billion and $2.42 billion, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA on a comparable basis was $445.2 million and $527.7 million for those periods, respectively.

Key Operations Review

Las Vegas Locals

In our Las Vegas Locals segment, fourth-quarter 2010 net revenues were $152.1 million versus $155.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Fourth-quarter 2010 Adjusted EBITDA was $34.1 million, compared to $34.7 million reported in the same quarter of 2009. These results marked the region's best year-over-year comparison in 12 quarters, as our operating margins remained consistent and local economic conditions began to stabilize.

Downtown

Our Downtown Las Vegas properties generated net revenues of $57.1 million for the fourth quarter 2010, compared to $58.0 million in the fourth quarter 2009. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.9 million, down from $12.2 million in the fourth quarter 2009. While we continued to expand our leading market share Downtown, business results were impacted by our Hawaiian charter operation.

Midwest and South

In our Midwest and South region, we recorded $172.5 million in net revenues for the fourth quarter 2010, up from $170.3 million for the same period in 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for the current period was $30.4 million, an increase of 3.4% from the $29.4 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2009. This increase was the region's best year-over-year comparison in five quarters. The gain was primarily driven by strong business volumes at our southern Louisiana properties.

Borgata

Borgata's net revenues for the fourth quarter 2010 were $168.8 million, versus $175.4 million in the fourth quarter 2009. Adjusted EBITDA was $34.1 million, down 6.3% from $36.4 million in the comparable period in 2009. While we were encouraged by growth in slot win, non-gaming revenue and overall market share, these gains were offset by higher promotional expense, declines in table game hold and volume, and increased regional competition.

Footnotes and Safe Harbor Statements

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Regulation G, "Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," prescribes the conditions for use of non-GAAP financial information in public disclosures. We believe that our presentations of the following non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance to investors: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS) and net revenues (excluding the 8 days of consolidation for Borgata). The following discussion defines these terms and why we believe they are useful measures of our performance.

In the accompanying release, and the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Dania Jai-Alai's results are included as part of total other operating costs and expenses. In addition, as of the same date, we reclassified the reporting of corporate expense to exclude it from our subtotal for Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA and include it as part of total other operating costs and expenses. Furthermore, in the Company's periodic reports, corporate expense is presented to include its portion of share-based compensation expense.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry which we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, gives investors a more complete understanding of operating results before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes and facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors. Management has historically adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core on- going operations. We do not reflect such items when calculating EBITDA; however, we adjust for these items and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA. We have historically reported this measure to our investors and believe that the continued inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency in our financial reporting. We use Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because we believe it is useful to investors in allowing greater transparency related to a significant measure used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Adjusted EBITDA is among the more significant factors in management's internal evaluation of total company and individual property performance and in the evaluation of incentive compensation related to property management. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is also widely used by management in the annual budget process. Externally, we believe these measures continue to be used by investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of our company. Adjusted EBITDA reflects EBITDA adjusted for deferred rent, preopening expenses, share-based compensation expense, write-downs and other charges, net, increase in value of derivative instruments, gain on early retirements of debt, other non-operating expenses, and our share of Borgata's non-operating expenses, preopening expenses and other items and write-downs, net. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA includes corporate expense. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), based upon GAAP, is included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted Earnings is net income (loss) before preopening expenses, increase in value of derivative instruments, write-downs and other charges, net, gain on early retirements of debt, prior period interest expense related to the finalization of our purchase price for Dania Jai-Alai, accelerated interest expense related to our bank credit facility amendment, certain one-time permanent tax readjustments, other non-operating expenses, and our share of Borgata's preopening expenses and other items and write-downs, net. Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are presented solely as supplemental disclosures because management believes that they are widely used measures of performance in the gaming industry. A reconciliation of net loss based upon GAAP to Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

Pro Forma Effect of Consolidation of Borgata

The effective change in control of Borgata was triggered at the end of the first quarter 2010. For purposes of comparability throughout this release, when such results are reported on a consolidated basis, the results of the prior year are retroactively recast to present such results on a consolidated basis, comparable to the current period. Additionally, for further purposes of comparability, certain year to date amounts have been presented on a pro forma basis, as if the consolidation of Borgata had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented (i.e. January 1, for the year ended September 30, 2010, or September 30, 2009, as applicable).

Limitations on the Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS or certain other non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes, capital expenditures and other items both in our reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP, nor should these measures be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
