Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management states that the presentation of non-GAAP measures provides important supplemental information to evaluate operating performance. They note that excluded revenues and expenses are often infrequent, variable, or do not represent current cash expenditures.
Risks and Limitations:
- Comparability: Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies in the industry.
- GAAP Reliance: These measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures (Net Income and Diluted EPS).
- Adjusted EBITDAR: Specifically noted as a valuation measure that excludes rent expense, which is a normal recurring operating expense.
Guidance: No specific forward-looking guidance or outlook figures are provided in this text.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Review Exhibit 99.1 (Press Release dated July 27, 2023) for actual revenue, net income, and EPS figures.
- Verify the reconciliation tables between GAAP Net Income and the defined Non-GAAP measures (Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, etc.).
- Check the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, for detailed segment performance and liquidity data.
- Confirm the specific adjustments made to calculate Adjusted EBITDAR, particularly the exclusion of rent costs.
