MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY ANNOUNCES

FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2016 OPERATING RESULTS

Uncasville, Connecticut, November 22, 2016 – The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, or the Authority, the owner and operator of Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, and Mohegan Sun Pocono in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, announced today the operating results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016.

“We are pleased to report another quarter of strong operating results and year-over-year growth,” said Robert J. Soper, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Authority. “Our fiscal fourth quarter capped off an equally strong fiscal year, highlighted by increased consolidated profit and profit margin, led by Mohegan Sun which generated its highest operating cash flow since 2008. With a successful comprehensive refinancing behind us, the opening of our new 400-room Earth Hotel and the grand opening of ilani Resort approximately two quarters away, we look forward to even stronger financial performance going forward.”

Consolidated operating results for the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2016 (unaudited):

• Net revenues of $346.4 million, a 2.1% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

• Gaming revenues of $301.0 million, a 1.6% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

• Gross slot revenues of $209.1 million, a 0.9% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

• Table game revenues of $91.7 million, a 5.0% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

• Non-gaming revenues of $70.0 million, a 1.5% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

• Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure described below, of $94.8 million, a 2.1% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

• Adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.4%, relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

• Income from operations of $72.8 million, relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

• Net income attributable to the Authority of $44.2 million, a 21.2% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015

The growth in Adjusted EBITDA was principally driven by higher gaming revenues at Mohegan Sun and increased revenues generated by Corporate. Income from operations was relatively flat. Net income attributable to the Authority increased primarily as a result of a non-recurring loss on early extinguishment of debt recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and lower interest expense, combined with the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-gaming revenues	$	54,016	$	55,571	$	(1,555	)		(2.8	%)

The growth in Adjusted EBITDA and income from operations primarily resulted from increased table game and slot revenues driven by higher gaming volumes, combined with lower payroll costs. These results were partially offset by higher costs related to general administrative and consulting services. The decline in non-gaming revenues primarily reflected lower entertainment revenues resulting from a reduction in the number of shows held at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 31.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 from 30.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

Non-gaming revenues	$	11,784	$	11,771	$	13			0.1	%

The declines in Adjusted EBITDA and income from operations primarily resulted from a combination of higher operating costs and expenses and a difficult comparison due to a non-recurring property tax adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. These results were partially offset by lower payroll costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 17.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 from 22.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

The increase in operating costs and expenses primarily reflected increased expenditures associated with various diversification initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA Explanation:

Net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a commonly used measure of performance in the casino and hospitality industry. EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Authority historically has evaluated its operating performance with the non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, which as used in this press release, represents net income before interest, depreciation and amortization, share compensation expense, gain or loss on disposition of assets, workforce reduction severance, pre-opening costs and expenses, impairment charges, reassessment and accretion of discount to a relinquishment liability, loss on modification and early extinguishment of debt, income or loss from unconsolidated affiliates, other non-operating income and expense and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interests.

Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional way to evaluate the Authority’s operations and, when viewed with both the Authority’s GAAP results and the reconciliations provided, the Authority believes that it provides a more complete understanding of its business than could be otherwise obtained absent this disclosure. Adjusted EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because: (1) the Authority believes it enhances an overall understanding of the Authority’s past and current financial performance; (2) the Authority believes it is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business in comparison to other operators within the casino and hospitality industry since Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Authority’s operating results; (3) measures that are comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are often used as an important basis for the valuation of casino and hospitality companies; and (4) the Authority uses Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate the performance of its operating personnel and management and as a benchmark to evaluate its operating performance in comparison to its competitors.

The use of Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, any GAAP financial measure including net income (as an indicator of the Authority’s performance) or cash flows provided by operating activities (as an indicator of the Authority’s liquidity), nor should it be considered as an indicator of the Authority’s overall financial performance. The Authority’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is likely to be different from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA or other similarly titled measurements used by other casino and hospitality companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates certain items from net income, such as interest and depreciation and amortization. Each of these items has been incurred in the past, will continue to be incurred in the future and should be considered in the overall evaluation of the Authority’s results. The Authority compensates for these limitations by providing relevant disclosures of items excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, both in its reconciliations to the GAAP financial measure of net income and in its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating its results. The Authority strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
