DOVER DOWNS GAMING & ENTERTAINMENT, INC. REPORTS RESULTS

FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

 

Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE-DDE) today reported results for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Gaming revenues of $41,349,000 were down 5.5% compared to the third quarter of 2013.  The revenue decline was primarily attributable to increased competition in the region.

 

Other operating revenues of $6,639,000 were up 4.8% compared to the third quarter of 2013.  The improvement was from increased cash rooms revenue and food and beverage revenue.  Occupancy levels in the Dover Downs Hotel were more than 91% for the third quarter of 2014.

 

Gaming expenses were lower from the lower gaming revenue and from the state sharing in a portion of slot machine vendor costs beginning July 1, 2014.

 

General and administrative costs were $1,468,000 for the third quarter compared to $1,354,000 last year.

 

Interest expense decreased to $412,000 during the quarter primarily from lower average outstanding borrowings.

 

Net earnings were $699,000, or $.02 per diluted share compared with $223,000 or $.01 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013.

 

Denis McGlynn, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:  “While the legislation that was passed on June 30 has been helpful, we have operated at a loss for the first nine months of the year.  We’re continuing our discussions with the state with the goal of arriving at a new formula for the distribution of gaming revenues.  Just as changes to the formula have been made over the years to steadily increase the state’s share, change is again needed to allow the gaming industry to earn a fair rate of return on their investments taking into account the increased gaming supply in the region.  The “Delaware Lottery & Gaming Study Commission” has reconvened and will be meeting through the end of the year with commission recommendations to the Governor and the legislature due by January 15.”
