Total revenues

   $ 2,627.5    $ 2,430.6    8.1 %   $ 10,825.2    $ 9,673.9    11.9 %

Property EBITDA

Adjusted EPS from Continuing operations

   $ 0.42    $ 0.45    -6.7 %   $ 3.25    $ 3.34    -2.7 %


Property EBITDA, Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA are not Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measurements but are commonly used in the gaming industry as measures of performance and as bases for valuation of gaming companies and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, as a measure of compliance with certain debt covenants. Reconciliations of Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations to GAAP EPS, Property EBITDA to income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations are attached to this release.

On a GAAP basis, fourth-quarter income from operations was $145.8 million, compared with $229.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The company reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $47.8 million, compared with net income of $47.6 million in the 2006 fourth quarter.

The fourth-quarter 2007 loss was due to impairment charges of $169.6 million recorded in the period for certain intangible assets. These pre-tax write-offs were included in “Project opening costs and other items.”

During the fourth quarter, Harrah’s was honored by BusinessWeek magazine as one of the country’s top corporate donors and best places to launch a career. The company also received plaudits as one of Fortune magazine’s “Most Admired Companies,” from IDG’s Computerworld magazine as one of the “Best Places to Work in Information Technology,” and from the influential civil-rights organization Human Rights Campaign for being the first gaming company to receive a perfect score in HRC’s Corporate Equity Index.

On January 28, 2008, Harrah’s Entertainment was acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital, LP in a transaction valued at $29.7 billion, including assumption of $12.4 billion of debt but excluding transaction costs. Harrah’s stockholders received $90 cash for each share of common stock, or a total of $17.3 billion.

“Our customer-loyalty program and geographic diversification continued to serve us well in the fourth quarter, when Harrah’s properties in Nevada, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi and Atlantic City outperformed their respective markets,” said Gary Loveman, Harrah’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our ability to achieve strong operating results – as well as close on the TPG-Apollo transaction – in a challenging economic climate demonstrates the efficacy of a business strategy focused on growing same-store revenues and stimulating cross-market play.

“As we move forward as a private company, we will continue to pursue both organic growth and new development projects, domestically and internationally, that will maximize cash flows and returns on investment,” Loveman said.

The company’s Las Vegas Region properties were able to outperform competitors and post strong fourth-quarter gains thanks to a multi-property visitation strategy and high occupancy rates. The region also benefited from the addition of results from Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon, which was acquired in the 2007 first quarter.

Increased visitor volume, higher cross-market play by Harrah’s Total Rewards cardholders and the acquisition of Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon contributed to the gains for the full year.

Atlantic City Region properties include Harrah’s Atlantic City, Showboat Atlantic City, Caesars Atlantic City, Bally’s Atlantic City and Harrah’s Chester.

Contributions from Harrah’s Chester Casino and Racetrack helped offset increased promotional spending and new smoking restrictions within the Atlantic City market and the impact of new supply in Pennsylvania, where Harrah’s Chester Casino opened its slot operations early in the first quarter of 2007.

Results for the full year were mixed. Revenues increased due to the inclusion of Harrah’s Chester in the region’s results, but income from operations and Property EBITDA declined due to the Pennsylvania competition, smoking restrictions in Atlantic City and higher promotional spending.

Louisiana/Mississippi Region properties include Harrah’s New Orleans, Horseshoe Bossier City, Louisiana Downs, Horseshoe

Tunica, Grand Casino Tunica, Sheraton Tunica and Grand Casino Biloxi.

Another strong performance at Harrah’s New Orleans and contributions from Grand Casino Biloxi helped offset lower fourth-quarter results at Grand Casino Tunica, which is undergoing an extensive renovation and re-branding that is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2008. Fourth-quarter income from operations included $13.4 million of income from insurance proceeds in excess of the net book value of impacted assets and reimbursable costs and expenses. Property EBITDA results excluded certain non-recurring items, including the insurance proceeds related to 2005 hurricane claims.

Revenues were higher for full-year 2007 due to contributions from Harrah’s New Orleans and Grand Casino Biloxi, which were closed for part of 2006 due to storm damage. Income from operations for 2007 included $130.3 million of insurance proceeds in excess of the net book value of impacted assets and reimbursable costs and expenses, compared with $10 million of such insurance proceeds in 2006.

Harrah’s North Kansas City.

A strong performance by Harrah’s Kansas City helped offset the impact of a severe winter storm in the region during December and weak market conditions in Iowa in the 2007 fourth quarter.

For the full year, income from operations and Property EBITDA improved due to higher operating margins at most properties in the region than in 2006.

Illinois/Indiana Region properties include Horseshoe Hammond, Harrah’s Joliet, Harrah’s Metropolis and Caesars

Indiana.

Combined revenues in this region were essentially even with the 2006 fourth-quarter, while Property EBITDA declined 21.6 percent due in part to a higher gaming tax rate and increased marketing costs in Illinois and higher property taxes in Indiana following a statewide land-value reassessment. The company’s new, two-level vessel at Horseshoe Hammond is expected to open in the second half of 2008, pending receipt of regulatory approvals.

Revenues for 2007 rose, but income from operations was lower than in 2006 due primarily to a $60.4 million charge to record the impairment of intangible assets at Caesars Indiana.

Laughlin.

Continued weakness in visitor volumes led to flat fourth-quarter revenues and Property EBITDA for the Other Nevada Region. For the full year, 2007 results were impacted by higher marketing expenses, lower visitation from certain customer segments and weather and forest fires in the region in the first half of the year.

The revenue and Property EBITDA improvements in the 2007 fourth quarter were due primarily to addition of results from the London Clubs International properties, which were acquired by the Company late in the 2006 fourth quarter, and lower master- planning and development costs. The 2007 fourth-quarter included a $109.2 million charge to record the impairment of intangible assets at London Clubs.

Other items

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2007 corporate expenses declined from the year-ago periods due to cost savings and efficiencies and the allocation of a portion of the Company’s stock-based compensation expenses to individual property units.

Interest expense rose 24.7 percent in the 2007 fourth quarter due to higher debt levels associated with the acquisitions of London Clubs International, Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon and a golf course in Macau, and declines of $35 million and $45.9 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in the aggregate fair value of the company’s interest-rate swaps.

The effective tax rate for the full year 2007 was 39.9 percent, compared with 36.1 percent in 2006. Excluding the impact of the impairment of various assets, the effective tax rate for 2007 would have been 38.5 percent. Excluding the impact of benefits identified as the company completed its 2005 tax returns and the adjustment to tax reserves, the effective tax rate for 2006 would have been 38.6 percent.

Discontinued operations for the 2007 fourth quarter and full year reflect insurance proceeds of $7.0 million, after taxes, and $89.6 million, after taxes, respectively, in

excess of the net book value of the impacted assets and accumulated costs and expenses expected to be reimbursed under the Company’s insurance claims for Harrah’s Lake Charles and Grand Casino Gulfport, both of which were sold in 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the sales agreements, Harrah’s will retain all insurance proceeds related to these properties.

Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the fourth quarter were 187.1 million shares, down slightly from 188.7 million in the 2006 fourth quarter.

(a) Property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) consists of Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, write-downs, reserves and recoveries, project opening costs, corporate expense, merger and integration costs, income/(losses) on interests in non-consolidated affiliates and amortization of intangible assets. Property EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate our operations. However, Property EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to Income from operations (as an indicator of our operating performance) or to Cash flows from operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, Property EBITDA as presented by our Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

HARRAH’S OPERATING COMPANY, A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF

HARRAH’S ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA (c)

(UNAUDITED)

(c) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture governing the senior notes and senior toggle notes, the interim loan agreement and/or our new senior credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

In connection with the acquisition of the Company by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) and TPG Capital, LP (“TPG”), eight of our properties and their related operating assets were spun off from Harrah’s Operating Company to Harrah’s Entertainment through a series of distributions, liquidations, transfers and contributions, collectively referred to as the “the CMBS Spin-Off.” The eight properties, as of the closing, are Harrah’s Las Vegas, Rio, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah’s Atlantic City, Showboat Atlantic City, Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Harveys Lake Tahoe and Bill’s Lake Tahoe. Subsequent to the closing and subject to regulatory approval, Paris Las Vegas and Harrah’s Laughlin and their related operating assets will be spun off from Harrah’s Operating Company and its subsidiaries to Harrah’s Entertainment, and Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Harveys Lake Tahoe, Bill’s Lake Tahoe and Showboat Atlantic City and their related operating assets will be transferred to subsidiaries of Harrah’s Operating Company from Harrah’s Entertainment (the “Post-Close CMBS Exchange”). The properties spun off from Harrah’s Operating Company and owned by Harrah’s Entertainment, whether at closing or after the subsequent transfer, will collectively be referred to as “the CMBS properties.” Also in connection with the acquisition by affiliates of Apollo and TPG, London Clubs International Limited (“London Clubs”) and its subsidiaries, with the exception of the subsidiaries related to the South Africa operations, became subsidiaries of Harrah’s Operating Company (“the London Clubs Transfer”). London Clubs and its subsidiaries were previously subsidiaries of Harrah Entertainment.

The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of Harrah’s Operating for the year ended December 31, 2007 and takes into consideration the CMBS Spin-Off, the London Clubs Transfer and the Post-Close CMBS Exchange.

(1) Represents the historical financial information of Harrah’s Entertainment.
(2) Represents the historical financial information of (i) all subsidiaries of Harrah’s Entertainment that have historically not been a component of Harrah’s Operating, namely, captive insurance companies and London Clubs and its subsidiaries; and (ii) accounts at Harrah’s Entertainment.
(3) Represents the historical financial information of Harrah’s Operating.
(4) Reflects the removal of the historical operating results of the CMBS properties, pursuant to the CMBS Spin-Off in which certain properties and operations of Harrah’s Operating were spun-off and held side-by-side with Harrah’s Operating under Harrah’s Entertainment. The historical operating expenses of Harrah’s Operating include unallocated costs attributable to services that have been performed by Harrah’s Operating on behalf of the CMBS properties. These costs are primarily related to corporate functions such as accounting, tax, treasury, payroll and benefits administration, risk management, legal, and information management and technology. The CMBS Spin-Off reflects the push-down of corporate expense of $38.8 million that was unallocated at December 31, 2007. Following the acquisition of the Company by affiliates of Apollo and TPG, many of these services will continue to be provided by Harrah’s Operating pursuant to a shared services agreement with the CMBS properties.
