Segment Reporting
Caesars Entertainment is primarily a holding company and operates through four reportable segments: Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (“CEOC”), Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties, LLC (“CERP”), Caesars Growth Partners Casino Properties and Developments (“CGP LLC Casinos”), and Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (“CIE”).
We view each casino property and CIE as operating segments and aggregate all such casino properties and CIE into these four reportable segments based on management’s view of these properties, which aligns with their ownership and underlying credit structures. While the CEOC and CERP reportable segments each comprise all of the operations of these consolidated subsidiaries, our consolidated VIE, CGP LLC, is comprised of the CGP LLC Casinos and CIE reportable segments. We revised our presentation from one reportable segment to the four listed above effective October 1, 2014, in conjunction with CES commencing operations, as the way in which CEC management assesses results and allocates resources is aligned in accordance with these segments.
The results of each reportable segment presented below are consistent with the way CEC management assesses these results, which is a consolidated view that adjusts for the impact of certain transactions between reportable segments within Caesars, as described below. Accordingly, the results of certain reportable segments presented in this filing differ from the financial statement information presented in their stand-alone filings.
CEOC results for all periods presented exclude the impact of consolidating The LINQ and Octavius Tower subsequent to their sale from CEOC to CERP in 2013. On a stand-alone basis, CEOC accounts for this transaction as a financing in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles instead of as a completed real estate sale, which results in these properties being reported as part of both CEOC and CERP on a stand-alone basis for the period subsequent to their sale. In addition, CEOC completed the sale to CGP LLC of Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in October 2013 and four properties (The Cromwell, Bally's Las Vegas, The LINQ Hotel, and Harrah's New Orleans) in May 2014. The financial results for these five properties are excluded from the CEOC financial results for all periods presented herein and, instead, are included in the results of CGP LLC Casinos.
As a result of transactions in 2013, certain CEC and CEOC properties are now owned by CERP; accordingly, the financial information herein includes the financial results for these properties as if they were combined into the CERP reporting entities for all periods presented.
“Other” includes consolidating adjustments, eliminating adjustments and other adjustments to reconcile to consolidated CEC results. For example, management fees paid to CEOC by CGP LLC Casinos related to Planet Hollywood are included in CEOC adjusted net revenues below and eliminated in Other.

Property EBITDA - by Segment
Property EBITDA is defined as revenues less property operating expenses and is comprised of net income/(loss) before (i) interest expense, net of interest capitalized and interest income, (ii) (benefit)/provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) corporate expenses, and (v) certain items that we do not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance at an operating property level. In evaluating Property EBITDA you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The presentation of Property EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.
Property EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income/(loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Property EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry. Property EBITDA is included because management uses Property EBITDA to measure performance and allocate resources, and believes that Property EBITDA provides investors with additional information consistent with that used by management.
