Press Release dated October 31, 2000 4 Sun International FROM: Sun International The Bahamas Contact: John Allison Tel: 1.242.363.6016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SUN INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS AND DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO SELL RESORTS CASINO HOTEL PARADISE ISLAND, The Bahamas, October 31, 2000 - Sun International Hotels Limited (NYSE: SIH) reported net income for the third quarter, excluding the effects of pre-opening costs and sales of real estate at its Paradise Island operations, of $9.2 million, equal to the same period last year. Earnings per share for the period, excluding pre-opening costs and real estate sales, were $0.31 compared to $0.27 for the same period last year. Including pre-opening costs and real estate sales, the Company generated net income, for the third quarter of $12.4 million, compared to $4.9 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.42 compared to $0.14, for the same period last year. The pre-opening costs in the third quarter related to the expansion of the Company's deluxe Ocean Club hotel on Paradise Island, while the pre-opening costs in the comparable quarter last year related to the renovation of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. Growth in operating earnings for the quarter was achieved compared to the same period last year, despite a lower comparative contribution from the Mohegan Sun Casino primarily due to the termination of the management agreement between the Mohegan Sun and Trading Cove Associates, a partnership in which the Company holds a 50% interest. Interest income declined during the quarter due to the repayment in December 1999 by the Mohegan Tribe of $94.1 million of Subordinated Notes held by the Company. Growth in operating earnings was attributable to increases from both the Paradise Island and Atlantic City operations. Paradise Island The Company's flagship Paradise Island operations generated EBITDA of $23.2 million, a 13.7% increase over the same period last year. Atlantis achieved an average occupancy of 84% for the quarter, and recorded an average room rate of $211, an increase of 8% over the same period last year. The Ocean Club, the Company's 59-room boutique hotel on Paradise Island, achieved an average occupancy of 78% for the quarter at an average rate of $405, which rate was similar to the same period in the prior year. This was achieved despite the adverse effects of construction of additional rooms and suites at the property, which was completed during October 2000. The redevelopment of the new Tom Weiskopf golf course and club is nearing completion and it is expected that it will be open for play by the end of the year in time for the PGA "Father and Son" golf tournament. During the quarter an additional 8 luxury homesites around the golf course were sold for net proceeds of $7.7 million. The Company has also recently opened the expanded Ocean Club. The extension to the hotel included the addition of 50 luxurious rooms including 10 deluxe suites, as well as a new beachfront restaurant, Dune, operated by well-known restauranteur Jean-Georges. Atlantic City Resorts Atlantic City generated EBITDA of $11.5 million for the quarter, compared to $9.3 million for the same period last year. Gaming revenues for the quarter of $69.1 million were approximately 8% ahead of the same quarter of last year. Table games performed well during the quarter with table drop increasing by 26% over 1998, although drop was 9% below the previous year which had experienced extremely strong volumes as a result of the opening events surrounding the re-launch of the property in July 1999. Slots revenues have begun to show a reversal from the significant negative trends experienced in the prior three quarters. Management has made several changes in this area including offering customers a more competitive slot product as well as improvements to the property's slots club. Slots win decreased by only 0.4% from 1998 levels compared to the 18% and 5% declines experienced during the first and second quarters, respectively. During the quarter, the Atlantic City gaming market showed growth in total gaming revenues of 4% over the previous year. Slot win for the quarter increased by 5% over the same period last year. Connecticut The Mohegan Sun Casino generated gross operating revenues of $219.8 million, an 8% increase over the same period last year. The Company's share of Mohegan Sun income was $5.0 million for the quarter compared to $7.3 million in the prior year. Through December 31, 1999, the Mohegan Sun Casino was managed by Trading Cove Associates. In exchange for relinquishing its rights under its then existing agreements, effective January 1, 2000, Trading Cove Associates began to receive payments of 5% of gross revenues of the Mohegan Sun. These relinquishment payments are currently contributing less income than was previously earned under the prior management contracts. However, the relinquishment payments continue for a period of 15 years, whereas the management contract was to expire in 2003. The property is currently undergoing a significant expansion which will include 115,000 additional square feet of gaming space, a 1,200-room luxury hotel, a 100,000-square foot convention center, a 10,000-seat events center and additional retail and restaurant facilities. This expansion is proceeding well. It is anticipated that the new casino will open in the fall of 2001 with the hotel opening in the spring of 2002. The relinquishment payments will be based on gross revenues of the expanded Mohegan Sun Complex. On December 30, 1999 the Mohegan Tribe repaid $94.1 million of outstanding Subordinated Notes held by the Company. These notes had been funded at the time of the construction of the facility and were repaid in connection with the termination of the management contracts. During the third quarter of 1999, the Company earned interest income of $2.5 million on such notes. Other Matters The Company has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Resorts Casino Hotel to an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC for a purchase price of $140 million, such purchase price to accrue interest at an annual rate of 6% until closing. In addition, Colony has a two-year option to acquire the undeveloped real estate adjacent to the Resorts Casino Hotel for a purchase price of $40 million, which option can be extended for an additional two years under certain circumstances. The sale is subject to certain customary conditions, including approval by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, and is also subject to Colony receiving certain financing in order to consummate the transaction. The parties expect to close the transaction early next year.
