Red Rock Resorts Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End 2017 Results
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Rock Resorts, Inc. ("Red Rock Resorts," "we" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:RRR) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.
Net revenues were $394.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, a decrease of 0.1%, or $0.6 million, from $394.6 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in net revenues was primarily due to substantial ongoing construction disruption at Palace Station and the Palms Casino Resort (the “Palms”).
Net income was $46.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of $4.9 million from net income of $41.1 million for the same period in 2016. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "U.S. tax reform") was enacted. The fourth quarter 2017 reflects a non-recurring non-cash increase in net income of approximately $2.1 million, due to the revaluation of its tax receivable agreement liability, as well as revaluing the Company's deferred tax assets, based on the U.S. tax reform. This estimated net benefit is based on the Company's initial analysis of the U.S. tax reform and may be adjusted in future periods as the Company collects additional information and evaluates any regulatory guidance.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $122.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, a decrease of 1.7% from $124.8 million in the same period of 2016. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to substantial ongoing construction disruption at Palace Station and the Palms, a $0.6 million decrease in Native American operations and a $1.6 million increase in corporate and other.
For the full year, net revenues were $1.62 billion in 2017, an increase of 11.2%, or $163.2 million, from $1.45 billion for the same period of 2016. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to the acquisition of the Palms, a $41.8 million increase in same-store Las Vegas operations and a $7.0 million increase in Native American operations.
For the full year, net income was $63.0 million in 2017, compared to $155.8 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to the Company’s acquisition of the leases at Boulder Station and Texas Station.
For the full year, Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $496.4 million, an increase of 2.5% from $484.4 million in 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of the Palms and an $8.6 million increase in Native American operations, partially offset by a $5.8 million increase in corporate and other.
The Company also announced on February 23, 2018 that its Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on March 30, 2018 to shareholders of record as of March 15, 2018.
Las Vegas Operations
Net revenues from Las Vegas operations were $364.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, a 0.3% increase from $363.6 million in the same period of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA(1) from Las Vegas operations was $105.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, unchanged from the same period of 2016. Net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were both negatively impacted by substantial ongoing construction disruption at Palace Station and the Palms during the fourth quarter.
Native American Management
Adjusted EBITDA(1) from Native American operations was $24.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, a 2.2% decrease from $25.1 million in the same period of 2016, primarily due to lower development fees for the quarter, as the Company had received a development fee of $0.8 million in the prior year quarter in connection with the development and construction of the hotel expansion at Graton Resort & Casino, which opened in November 2016.
Palace Station and Palms Redevelopment Update
The Palace Station project remains on schedule and the budget remains unchanged. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has incurred $80 million in costs against that $191 million project. The Palace Station project is expected to be completed in phases by the end of 2018.
The Company is excited to announce today that it is accelerating the third phase of its redevelopment plan for the Palms, as part of its transformation of the property into a “must see” gaming and entertainment destination. The key components of this phase will include: a casino floor expansion featuring 300 new slot machines and 16 table games; an authentic Hong Kong-style Dim Sum restaurant; a casino connector seamlessly integrating the adjacent 599 room Palms Place and the existing self-park garage into the property; collaborations with world-class contemporary artists throughout the property; and state-of-the-art digital signage on the hotel exterior. The total budget for the Palms redevelopment, including construction costs, capitalized interest, and pre-opening expenses, is now expected to be approximately $620 million. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has incurred $77 million in costs against the project. The project is expected to open its first phase in the second quarter of 2018, with components of the second phase to open throughout the first and second quarters of 2019 and phase three to open in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Balance Sheet Highlights
At December 31, 2017, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $231.5 million and total principal amount of debt outstanding was $2.68 billion. The Company’s debt to Adjusted EBITDA and interest coverage ratios, were 5.0x and 4.5x, respectively.
