Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On October 3, 2017, Red Lion Hotels Corporation, doing business as RLH Corporation, (the “company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary TicketsWest.com, Inc. (“TicketsWest”) completed the sale of certain specified liabilities and substantially all of the assets of TicketsWest, including ticketing agreements and engagement agreements with various entertainment venues, teams and artists located throughout the Western United States, to Paciolan, LLC (the “Asset Sale”) for a preliminary purchase price, before transaction costs, of $6.0 million. The final purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment, which is expected to be finalized within 165 days of the closing date. The accrued third party ticketing liability was $8.2 million as of the close date and was included as part of the Asset Sale. As a result of the transaction, the company’s cash balance decreased by $2.9 million upon completion of the Asset Sale, with $0.6 million in escrow on its balance sheet as of the close date.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

A copy of the company’s press release, dated October 3, 2017, announcing the completion of the sale is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The following is a reconciliation of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA to amounts previously reported, to reflect the deconsolidation of the TicketsWest business, including WestCoast Entertainment, (comprising the Entertainment reportable segment):

 

   Six Months Ended  Year Ended December 31,
   June 30, 2017  2016  2015  2014
   (in thousands)
Adjusted EBITDA - as previously reported  $8,536   $19,472   $12,463   $13,350 
                     
Less: Deconsolidation of the Entertainment Segment   (260)   (2,243)   (986)   (2,348)
                     
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA  $8,276   $17,229   $11,477   $11,002 

 

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe it is a useful financial performance measure due to the significance of our long-lived assets and level of indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA is an additional measure of financial performance. We believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain special items, such as gains and losses on asset dispositions and impairments, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results and as a means to evaluate comparative results.

 

 

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are commonly used measures of performance in our industry. We utilize these measures because management finds them a useful tool to calculate more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core, ongoing operations. We believe they are a complement to reported operating results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent net income (loss) defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), and such information should not be considered as an alternative to reported information or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and, in particular, Adjusted EBITDA differently.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information

 

Note 1 — Basis of presentation

 

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the business disposition, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results following the business disposal.

 

The disposed business represented a separate, stand-along reporting segment.

 

Note 2 — The transaction

 

The company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and the liabilities of TicketsWest.com, Inc., including WestCoast Entertainment, (TicketsWest or the Entertainment business segment) to Paciolan, LLC (Paciolan) for $6.0 million, resulting in a preliminary gain on sale of approximately $1.1 million, which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017. The final sale price is subject to a working capital adjustment, which is expected to be finalized within 165 days of the closing date.

 

Note 3 — Pro forma adjustments

 

The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information:

 

  (a) Reflects the elimination of the Entertainment segment’s asset and liability balances and results of operations.
     
  (b) Represents the cash proceeds of $6.0 million, including $0.6 million held in escrow and classified in other current assets ($0.3 million) and other long-term assets ($0.3 million), from Paciolan for purchase of TicketsWest assets, less $0.7 million for transaction related expenses.
     
  (c) The net of the amounts reflected in retained earnings ($1.1 million) represents the estimated gain on sale of the acquisition, net of transaction costs.  The gain is calculated as the net cash received ($5.3 million after payment of transaction related expenses) less the net assets transferred ($4.2 million). Due to the availability of offsetting net operating loss carryforwards, there is no tax expense associated with the gain on sale.  As the gain is directly attributable to the disposal and is not expected to have a continuing impact on the Company’s operations, it is only reflected in retained earnings on the pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
