Management Commentary
"For the second quarter, our business demonstrated continued strength in Las Vegas driven in part by our hospitality investments, which was offset by the persistent softness in the regional markets and Atlantic City," said Gary Loveman, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Caesars Entertainment Corporation. "The LINQ and High Roller are stimulating greater traffic to Caesars' affiliated properties in the vicinity and we are focused on maximizing their potential. As we look ahead, we are excited about further expanding and enhancing our network with the opening of Horseshoe Baltimore and the potential development of an integrated resort in South Korea. We believe the advances we are making across the enterprise coupled with ongoing capital structure initiatives aimed at reducing leverage at CEOC will produce a positive impact on our business."
Basis of Presentation
In the discussion below, the words "Company," "Caesars," "Caesars Entertainment," "CEC," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Caesars Entertainment Corporation and its consolidated entities, unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise.
The financial results presented herein include Caesars with its consolidated entities, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. ("CEOC") and Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties ("CERP"), and Caesars Growth Partners, LLC ("CGP LLC"), which is consolidated as a variable interest entity.
Due to CEOC's continuing involvement with The LINQ and Octavius Tower of Caesars Palace Las Vegas, CEOC continued to consolidate both of these properties and their related net assets and income statement impacts into CEOC's financial results subsequent to CERP's ownership of this property in October 2013, through May 5, 2014, at which point CEOC no longer consolidated the results of The LINQ. CEOC continues to consolidate the results of the Octavius Tower.
CEOC results herein are presented on a consolidated view, which eliminates the impact of consolidating The LINQ and Octavius Tower subsequent to its transfer from CEOC to CERP. This transaction has been accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with GAAP instead of as a completed real estate sale. This accounting treatment results in these properties being reported as part of both CEOC and CERP on a standalone basis, and therefore, they are not presented within the CEOC results in this earnings release. In addition, the CEOC results discussed below give effect to any adjustments recorded to present CEOC on a standalone basis, with other consolidating or eliminating adjustments being presented in "Other" in the following tables. During the fourth quarter 2013, the Company recast prior CEOC results to reflect a number of items necessary to present CEOC on a standalone basis, including: (1) changes in accounting for income taxes to a standalone basis of reporting, (2) a change in methodology for pension accounting to the immediate recognition method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses, (3) a correction of prior period errors in CEOC financial reports for intercompany insurance, and (4) a correction of previously identified immaterial errors. These adjustments were reflected on CEOC's standalone reporting and did not impact consolidated CEC results.
CGP LLC results below are reflective of CGP LLC as consolidated into CEC results; accordingly the results of the four properties which CGP LLC acquired in 2014 from CEOC are included in CGP LLC only after the date of acquisition. As a result, the presentation of CGP LLC's results in this release differs from the financial statement information of CGP LLC presented in "Caesars Growth Partners Results" and CGP LLC's presentation of its results on a stand-alone basis.
"Other" includes consolidating adjustments, eliminating adjustments and other adjustments to reconcile to consolidated CEC results. For example, management fees paid to CEOC related to Planet Hollywood by CGP LLC are included in CEOC adjusted net revenues below, and eliminated in Other.

Consolidated net revenues increased 3.0% in 2014 compared with the 2013 quarter, primarily due to growth in the social and mobile gaming business of Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. ("CIE"), partially offset by a 1.9% decline in casino revenues. The opening of The LINQ (within CERP) at the end of the first quarter 2014 and the opening of The Cromwell (within CGP LLC) during the second quarter 2014 has also increased revenues over the comparable prior year period. CEOC completed the sale of four properties (The Cromwell, Bally's Las Vegas, The Quad Resort & Casino, and Harrah's New Orleans) to CGP LLC in May 2014, following the sale of Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino to CGP LLC in October 2013. The sales of these five properties (the "Property Sales") drove an increase in CGP LLC results and a related decrease in CEOC results.
CEOC net revenues declined $175.2 million, or 11.4%, compared with the prior year quarter, primarily due to a decline in casino revenue of $129.7 million, or 11.7%, mainly due to the Property Sales and the partial sale of our Conrad Punta del Este casino in Uruguay (the "Conrad") in the second quarter 2013, as well as the persistent softness in certain regional markets and Atlantic City. These decreases are partially offset by particularly strong results at Caesars Palace Las Vegas on VIP baccarat play and favorable hold. The regional markets and Atlantic City together experienced a decline of 8.3% in net revenues in the second quarter compared with the prior year, excluding the impact of the Property Sales.
CERP net revenues increased $11.7 million, or 2.2%, compared with the prior year quarter. Revenues increased from the opening of The LINQ and the High Roller in 2014 and the resulting third-party revenues. Partially offsetting this increase was a casino revenue decline totaling $16.6 million, or 5.6%, on unfavorable hold and lower volumes, in particular slot volumes in Atlantic City.
CGP LLC net revenues increased $280.2 million compared with the 2013 quarter, due to strong growth in the social and mobile games business at CIE and the inclusion of revenues since the date of the acquisitions of the five properties CGP LLC acquired from CEOC. CIE's social and mobile gaming business increased net revenues by $70.6 million for second quarter 2014 compared with the same period in 2013 as a result of CIE's first quarter 2014 acquisition of Pacific Interactive and continued strength in its existing offerings.
The revenues generated by the acquired casino properties subsequent to their acquisition by CGP LLC were $207.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 while there were no comparable revenues in 2013, as the acquisitions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2013 as previously described. When viewing the five properties sold by CEOC to CGP LLC as a group on a comparable quarter basis, without regard to ownership structure and timing of property sales, these properties had an increase in net revenues totaling $35.4 million, or 13.7%, in the second quarter, driven by growth in casino revenues as well as food and beverage and entertainment offerings at Planet Hollywood and the opening during the quarter of The Cromwell, which had no revenue in the comparable quarter in 2013.

Consolidated income from operations was $106.3 million compared with $132.4 million in the 2013 quarter, with the decline driven by the following factors: (1) a $31.9 million charge associated with the increase in fair value of contingent consideration from previous acquisitions included in acquisition and integration costs related to CGP LLC acquisitions, (2) property operating expense increases, and (3) increased write-downs, reserves, and project opening costs, net of recoveries, related largely to the exit liability of approximately $40.0 million recorded for Iowa dog-racing. In addition, year over year income from operations was lower than the comparable period due to the 2013 non-recurring reversal of approximately $18.0 million in previously accrued reserves related to the taxability of complimentary meals provided to Nevada employees. These factors were partially offset by the income effect of slightly higher net revenues and lower non-cash intangible and tangible asset impairment charges, which totaled $32.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $104.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
CEOC income from operations decreased $0.9 million, or 1.7%. The decrease is a function of the income impact of the decline in net revenues, primarily resulting from the Property Sales, and the Iowa dog-racing charge referenced above. In addition, CEOC recognized an approximately $9.0 million reversal in the second quarter of 2013 related to the treatment of complimentary employee meals in Nevada, which contributed to the higher second quarter 2013 income. Partially offsetting the above were lower intangible and tangible asset impairment charges, which totaled $17.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $82.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
CERP income from operations decreased $4.3 million, or 5.9%. The decrease is primarily due to the income impact of a 5.6% decrease in casino revenues and higher property expenses resulting from a 2013 non-recurring reversal of approximately $9.0 million in previously accrued reserves related to the taxability of complimentary meals provided to Nevada employees that did not recur in 2014 and increased marketing spend. These factors were partially offset by no intangible and tangible asset impairment charges in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared with a charge of $24.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
CGP LLC income from operations increased $6.4 million, or 66.7%. The increase is primarily due to the income impact of higher revenues, reflecting the impact of the Property Sales, partially offset by a $31.9 million charge associated with the increase in fair value of contingent consideration from previous acquisitions and an impairment charge in the second quarter 2014 of $15.5 million on intangible assets.
Consolidated property, general, administrative and other operating expenses increased in the 2014 quarter when compared with the 2013 quarter due to the previously mentioned 2013 non-recurring reversal of approximately $18.0 million in accrued reserves related to the taxability of complimentary meals provided to Nevada employees that did not recur in 2014, increased spending on marketing programs, and, to a lesser degree, wage increases.
Consolidated corporate expenses increased $26.9 million in the 2014 quarter when compared with the 2013 quarter due to certain professional fees associated with the numerous corporate transactions and costs associated with stock-based compensation programs.
Net Loss
Consolidated net loss attributable to Caesars was $466.4 million during the second quarter compared with $212.2 million in the 2013 quarter. The net loss increased primarily due to the factors discussed in "Income from Operations" above, the reduction in the tax benefits related to current year losses subject to a federal valuation allowance, as well as a pre-tax $113.7 million increase in interest expense. These factors are further described in "Additional Financial Information" that follows herein.
Consolidated property EBITDA decreased $20.3 million, or 4.1%, compared with the 2013 quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $15.4 million, or 3.3%. Further details on these non-GAAP financial measures follow later in this release.
Additional Financial Information
Interest Expense
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense increased by $113.7 million, or 21.1%, to $653.7 million from $540.0 million in the 2013 quarter, primarily due to higher interest rates as a result of CERP's October 2013 8.0% and 11% senior secured notes offerings, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of lower interest rate term loans of Caesars Entertainment's commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), as well as interest costs resulting from the bridge financing and term loan obtained by CGP LLC associated with the four property sale and the $1,750.0 million in term loans obtained by CEOC.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a $28.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt as a result of the early extinguishment of CGP LLC's Planet Hollywood senior secured loan which was refinanced in the second quarter of 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized a $41.3 million gain on early extinguishment of debt primarily related to the early repurchase of CMBS debt.
Benefit for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 29.3% and 35.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate benefit in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was unfavorably impacted by an increase in the federal valuation allowance against 2014 losses from continuing operations, the state deferred tax impact of combining the CERP properties for tax purposes, and the tax effect of the CEC sale of CEOC common stock.
Our projected effective tax rate benefit for 2014 is expected to range from 24% to 27%, which differs from the effective federal tax rate benefit of 35%, due to projected increase in the federal valuation allowance against 2014 losses from continuing operations, which will not be tax benefitted, partially offset by the reversal of uncertain state positions during the first quarter of 2014 due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. This projected effective tax rate range includes the expected tax benefits from the sale of certain properties from CEOC to CGP LLC in May 2014.
Deconsolidation
In May 2013, CEOC sold 45% of its equity interest in the Conrad, and as a result of this transaction, no longer consolidates the Conrad's results of operations, but instead accounts for it as an equity method investment. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, CEOC's operating results included net revenues of $16.0 million and loss from operations of $6.1 million for the Conrad, and equity method loss from operations of $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Cost-Savings Initiatives
The Company has undertaken comprehensive cost-reduction efforts to manage expenses with current business levels. We estimate that our cost-savings programs produced $25.7 million in incremental cost savings for the second quarter 2014, compared with the same period in 2013. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, the Company expects that these and other identified new cost-savings programs will produce further annual cost-savings of approximately $135.0 million, based on the full implementation of current projects that are in process. As the Company realizes savings or identifies new cost-reduction activities, this amount will change.
Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. Results
Due to CEOC's continuing involvement with The LINQ and Octavius Tower of Caesars Palace Las Vegas, CEOC continued to consolidate both of these properties and their related net assets and income statement impacts into CEOC's financial results subsequent to CERP's ownership of this property in October 2013, through May 5, 2014, at which point CEOC no longer consolidated the results of The LINQ. CEOC continues to consolidate the results of the Octavius Tower. This is reflected in the tables below.
Management believes the measures presented below are helpful to investors because The LINQ and Octavius Tower are not legally owned by CEOC. A reconciliation of Property EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most closely related GAAP financial measure is presented later in this release.
CEOC is our majority owned operating subsidiary that conducts a significant part of our business operations. The following is being provided as supplementary financial information and CEOC Financial Information below is consistent with CEOC presented on a standalone basis. Full CEOC results will be provided separately in CEOC's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.

Caesars Growth Partners Results
As previously disclosed, Caesars Acquisition Company ("CAC") was formed to own 100% of the voting membership units in CGP LLC. In October 2013, Caesars and its subsidiaries, CAC and CGP LLC consummated a transaction in which Caesars acquired all of the non-voting units of CGP LLC in exchange for certain consideration. Our interests in CGP LLC constitute variable interests and CGP LLC is a variable interest entity, which we are required to consolidate.
The financial statement information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 does not reflect the impacts of the Formation Transaction, including the recording of non-controlling interest or the determination of taxes in accordance with the limited liability company structure of CGP LLC. Instead, this financial information, referred to herein as "Predecessor," presents the combination of the assets and entities that were purchased by or contributed to CGP LLC for the periods presented as that financial information was initially recorded in the underlying accounting records of Caesars Entertainment.
The financial statement information of CGP LLC presented below have been prepared consistent with CGP LLC's presentation of its results presented on a stand-alone basis. As the properties were acquired from CEOC, CGP LLC has treated these acquisitions as a reorganization of entities under common control, accordingly all properties results are reported as if acquired as of the earliest period presented.
The financial statement information below and in the supplemental information include historic financial information derived from the historical accounting records and consolidated financial statements of CGP LLC. The financial statement information for the three months ended June 30, 2014 reflects the financial information of CGP LLC on a consolidated, stand-alone basis, giving regard to all impacts of the Formation Transaction. CGP LLC summary results will be provided separately in Caesar Acquisition Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.

| (1) |
Casino revenues, net revenues, income from operations, and loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes for all periods presented in the table above exclude the results of Alea Leeds casino (closed in March 2013), Golden Nugget casino (closed in February 2014), Harrah's Tunica casino (closed in June 2014) and the subsidiaries that held the Company's land concession in Macau because all of these are presented as discontinued operations. |
| (2) |
Income from operations for Caesars includes intangible and tangible asset impairment charges of $32.9 million and $104.7 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Income from operations for CEOC includes intangible and tangible asset impairment charges of $17.4 million and $82.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
| (3) |
Basic and diluted loss per share for Caesars for the periods shown includes loss per share from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $0.18 per share and $0.04 per share in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
| (4) |
Property EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined and reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure later in this release. Property EBITDA is included because the Company's 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. |
| (5) |
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined and reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure later in this release. Adjusted EBITDA is included because management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with additional information that allows a better understanding of the results of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long-term benefit of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA does not include the Pro Forma effect of adjustments related to properties, yet-to-be-realized cost savings from the Company's profitability improvement programs, discontinued operations and LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma of CEOC's unrestricted subsidiaries. Adjustments also include 100% of Baluma S.A. (Conrad Punta del Este) adjusted EBITDA as permitted under the indentures governing CEOC's existing notes and the credit agreement governing CEOC's senior secured credit facilities. |
Liquidity
Each of the entities comprising Caesars Entertainment's consolidated financial statements have separate debt agreements with restrictions on usage of the respective entity's capital resources. CGP LLC is a variable interest entity that is consolidated by Caesars Entertainment, but is controlled by its sole voting member, CAC. CAC is a managing member of CGP LLC and therefore controls all decisions regarding liquidity and capital resources of CGP LLC.

| CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION RECONCILIATION OF NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION TO PROPERTY EBITDA |
|||||||||||
| Property EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance. 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 the Company does 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, the Company 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 the 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. |

| Property EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of CEOC's performance.

| LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma is defined as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to include Pro Forma adjustments related to properties and estimated cost savings yet-to-be-realized as set forth in the CEOC credit facility. |

|||||
| Adjusted EBITDA and LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma include the results and adjustments of CEOC on a consolidated basis without the exclusion of CEOC's unrestricted subsidiaries, and therefore, are different than the calculations used to determine compliance with debt covenants under the credit facility.

|
| (a) |
Amounts represent pre-opening costs incurred in connection with new property openings and expansion projects at existing properties, as well as any non-cash write-offs of abandoned development projects. |
| (b) |
Amounts represent the difference between the fair value of consideration paid and the book value, net of deferred financing costs, of debt retired through debt extinguishment transactions, which are capital structure-related, rather than operational-type costs. |
| (c) |
Amounts represent non-cash charges to impair intangible and tangible assets primarily resulting from changes in the business outlook in light of competitive conditions. |
| (d) |
Amounts represent non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock granted to CERP's employees. |
| (e) |
Amounts represent add-backs and deductions from EBITDA included in arriving at LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma but not separately identified. Such add-backs and deductions include severance and relocation, permit remediation costs, gains and losses from disposals of assets, costs incurred in connection with implementing the Company's efficiency and cost-saving programs, and non-cash equity in earnings of non-consolidated affiliates (net of distributions). |
| (f) |
Amounts represent the estimated annualized impact of operating results related to newly completed construction projects, combined with the estimated annualized EBITDA impact associated with properties acquired during the period. |
| (g) |
Amount represents adjustments to reflect the impact of annualized run-rate cost savings and anticipated future cost savings to be realized from profitability improvement and cost-savings programs. |
| (h) |
In accordance with the CERP Financing, EBITDA of the Linq for each fiscal quarter, through the fourth quarter of 2014, will be deemed to be equal to the greater of (i) $24.75 million or (ii) actual EBITDA. |
| CAESARS GROWTH PARTNERS, LLC SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CAESARS GROWTH PARTNERS, LLC AND PREDECESSOR TO PROPERTY EBITDA |
|||||||||||
| Property EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of CGP LLC's performance. Property EBITDA is defined as revenues less property operating expenses and is comprised of net income/(loss) before (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) (benefit)/provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) corporate expenses, and (v) certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of CGP LLC's ongoing operating performance at an operating property level. In evaluating Property EBITDA you should be aware that in the future, CGP LLC 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 CGP LLC's future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items. |
|||||||||||
| Property EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in CGP LLC's and in the Company's 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 presented because management uses Property EBITDA in internal analyses to measure performance and allocate resources, and believes that Property EBITDA provides investors with additional information consistent with that used by management. |
