1. Nature of Operations
Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in February 1990. Except where otherwise noted, the words we, us, our and similar terms, as well as Company, refer to Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. We are a developer, owner and operator of branded gaming facilities and related lodging and entertainment facilities in markets throughout the United States. Our wholly owned subsidiaries own and operate fourteen casino gaming facilities in the United States located in Black Hawk, Colorado; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Lula, Biloxi, Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Kansas City, Caruthersville and Boonville, Missouri; Bettendorf, Davenport, Waterloo and Marquette, Iowa; and Pompano Beach, Florida.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 24, 2011 as filed with the SEC and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report, which are available on the SECs website at www.sec.gov or our website at www.islecorp.com.
Our fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in April. Periodically, this system necessitates a 53-week year. Fiscal 2012 is a 53-week year, which commenced on April 25, 2011, with the fourth quarter having 14 weeks. Fiscal 2011 was a 52-week year, which commenced on April 26, 2010.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. We view each property as an operating segment and all such operating segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment.
3. New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB) issued Update No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends Accounting Standards Codification 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other. This update permits entities to make a qualitative assessment of whether a reporting units fair value is, more likely than not, less than its carrying amount. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity is not required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. The update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to materially affect our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which allows for the presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the guidance eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in
stockholders equity. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. While the adoption will impact where we disclose the components of other comprehensive income in our consolidated financial statements, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on those consolidated financial statements.
4. Flooding
Flooding along the Mississippi River caused five of our properties to close for portions of the six months ended October 23, 2011. A summary of the closure dates and subsequent reopening is as follows:
(A) Six days of closure in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. (B) The second casino barge reopened on September 2, 2011 after flood damage was remediated.
Operations were impacted beyond the number of days closed as business levels fluctuated before actual closure and for extended periods of time after reopening. We maintain insurance coverage subject to various deductibles for both property damage and business interruption. We have recorded a receivable of $8,158 at October 23, 2011 representing direct reimbursable costs and property damage net of the insurance policy deductibles. During the three months ended October 23, 2011, we recognized $111 of revenue as partial settlement of our business interruption claim related to our Davenport property. Any additional business interruption claims will be recognized in the periods settled.
5. Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following:
Credit Facility - Our Senior Secured Credit Facility as amended (Credit Facility) consists of a $300,000 revolving line of credit and a $500,000 term loan. The Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of our assets and guaranteed by all of our significant domestic subsidiaries.
Our net line of credit availability at October 23, 2011, as limited by our maximum leverage covenant, was approximately $145,000, after consideration of $24,000 in outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit. We pay a commitment fee related to the unused portion of the Credit Facility of up to 0.625% which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average effective interest rate of the Credit Facility for the six months ended October 23, 2011 was 5.59%.
The Credit Facility includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants. Additionally, we must comply with certain financial covenants including maintenance of a leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also restricts our ability to make certain investments or distributions. We were in compliance with all covenants as of October 23, 2011.
7.75% Senior Notes In March 2011, we issued $300,000 of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 at a price of 99.264% (Senior Notes). The net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay term loans under our Credit Facility. The Senior Notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of our significant domestic subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries as described in Note 14. All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by us. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior secured indebtedness and senior to our senior subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after March 15, 2015, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
7% Senior Subordinated Notes - Our 7% Senior Subordinated Notes are due 2014 (Subordinated Notes) and are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by all of our significant subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries as described in Note 14. All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by us. The Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior indebtedness. The Subordinated Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the Subordinated Notes.
The indenture governing the Subordinated Notes limits, among other things, our ability and our restricted subsidiaries ability to borrow money, make restricted payments, use assets as security in other transactions, enter into transactions with affiliates or pay dividends on or repurchase stock. The indenture also limits our ability to issue and sell capital stock of subsidiaries, sell assets in excess of specified amounts or merge with or into other companies.
6. Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share:
Our basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Due to the loss from continuing operations, stock options representing 22,045 and 38,074 shares, which are potentially dilutive, and 1,169,710 and 1,069,710 shares which are anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for diluted (loss) per share for the three and six months ended October 23, 2011. Due to the loss from continuing operations, stock options representing 56,350 and 78,908 shares, which are potentially dilutive, and 1,075,210 and 975,210 shares which are anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for diluted (loss) per share for the three and six months ended October 24, 2010.
7. Stock Based Compensation
Under our amended and restated Long Term Incentive Plans we have issued restricted stock and stock options.
Restricted Stock During the six months ended October 23, 2011, we issued 500,995 shares of restricted stock with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $8.73 to employees and 257,003 shares of restricted stock with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $5.37 to directors. Restricted stock awarded to employees under annual long-term incentive grants primarily vests one-third on each anniversary of the grant date and for directors vests one-half on the grant date and one-half on the first anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock awarded under our October 2008 tender offer vested in October 2011. Our estimate of forfeitures for restricted stock for employees is 10%. No forfeiture rate is estimated for directors. As of October 23, 2011, our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested restricted stock is $4,789 with a remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years.
Stock Options - We have issued incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options which have a maximum term of 10 years and are, generally, vested and exercisable in yearly installments of 20% commencing one year after the date of grant. We currently estimate our aggregate forfeiture rates at 7%. As of October 23, 2011, our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested stock options was $423 with a weighted average vesting period of 1.7 years.
8. Interest Rate Derivatives
We have entered into various interest rate derivative agreements in order to manage market risk on variable rate term loans outstanding, as well as comply with, in part, requirements under the Credit Facility. We have interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $100,000 with maturity dates in fiscal 2012 and 2014. We have also entered into interest rate cap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $220,000 having maturity dates in fiscal 2012 and 2013 and paid premiums of $203 at inception.
The fair values of derivatives included in our consolidated balance sheet are as follows:
The interest rate cap agreements meet the criteria for hedge accounting for cash flow hedges and have been evaluated, as of October 23, 2011, as being fully effective. As a result, there is no impact on our consolidated statement of operations from changes in fair value of the interest rate cap agreements. The loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) for our interest rate cap agreements is recorded net of deferred income tax benefits of $26 and $49 as of October 23, 2011 and April 24, 2011, respectively. The change in unrealized gain (loss) on our derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting was an immaterial amount and $26 for the three and six months ended October 23, 2011, respectively. The change in unrealized gain (loss) on our derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting was $25 and $4 for the three and six months ended October 24, 2010, respectively.
Our interest rate swaps no longer meet the criteria for hedge effectiveness, and therefore changes in the fair value of the swaps subsequent to the date of ineffectiveness in February 2010, are recorded in derivative income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The cumulative loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) through the date of ineffectiveness is being amortized into derivative expense over the remaining term of the individual interest rate swap agreements or when the underlying transaction is no longer expected to occur. As of October 23, 2011, the weighted average fixed LIBOR interest rate of our interest rate swap agreements was 4.25%.
The loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) of our interest rate swap agreements is recorded net of deferred income tax benefits of $793 and $1,295, as of October 23, 2011 and April 24, 2011, respectively.
We recorded income of $929 and $1,367 in derivative income (expense) related to the change in fair value of interest rate swap contracts during the three and six months ended October 23, 2011, respectively. We recorded income of $2,439 and $4,863 in derivative income (expense) related to the change in fair value of interest rate swap contracts during the three and six months ended October 24, 2010, respectively.
Additionally, during the three and six months ended October 23, 2011, we realized derivative expense of $669 and $1,338, respectively, associated with the amortization of $418, net of taxes of $252, and $836, net of taxes of $503, of cumulative loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) for the interest rate swaps through the date of their ineffectiveness. During the three and six months ended October 24, 2010, we realized derivative expense of $3,182 and $7,093 associated with the amortization of $1,992, net of taxes of $1,190 and $4,441, net of taxes of $2,652, of cumulative loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) for the interest rate swaps through the date of their ineffectiveness.
The amount of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to interest rate swap contracts and interest rate cap contracts maturing within the next twelve months was $818, net of tax of $492, as of October 23, 2011.
9. Fair Value
The fair value of our interest swap and cap contracts are recorded using Level 3 inputs at the present value of all expected future cash flows based on the LIBOR-based swap yield curve as of the date of the valuation.
The following table presents the changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three and six months ended October 23, 2011 and October 24, 2010:
Financial Instruments - The estimated carrying amounts and fair values of our other financial instruments are as follows:
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and notes receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Marketable securities are based upon Level 1 inputs obtained from quoted prices available in active markets and represent the amounts we would expect to receive if we sold these marketable securities.
The fair value of our long-term debt or other long-term obligations is estimated based on the quoted market price of the underlying debt issue or, when a quoted market price is not available, the discounted cash flow of future
payments utilizing current rates available to us for debt of similar remaining maturities. Debt obligations with a short remaining maturity are valued at the carrying amount.
10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
A detail of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is as follows:
The amount of change in the gain (loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivative instruments is as follows:
11. Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six months ended October 23, 2011 were 37.9% and 45.5%, respectively. Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six months ended October 24, 2010 were 45.9% and 43.2%, respectively. Our effective rate is based on statutory rates applied to our income adjusted for permanent differences. Our actual effective rate will fluctuate based upon the amount of our pretax book income, permanent differences and other items used in the calculation of our income tax benefit. During the six months ended October 23, 2011, the federal statute of limitations expired for the open tax years ending April 2006 and April 2007.
During fiscal 2010, the IRS completed its examination of our federal income tax returns which relate to our fiscal years 2007 and 2008. The income tax examination changes were subject to review by the U.S. Congress Joint Committee on Taxation and on August 20, 2010 we received notification that the review had been completed with no exception to the examination. As a result, during the three months ended October 24, 2010, we recognized a tax benefit in discontinued operations of $794 related ot the resolution of previously unrecognized tax positions related to our former UK operations.
12. Supplemental Disclosures
Cash Flow For the six months ended October 23, 2011 and October 24, 2010, we made net cash payments for interest of $42,225 and $46,372, respectively. Additionally, we made net income tax payments of $371 during the six months ended October 23, 2011 and received net income tax refunds $71 during the six months ended October 24, 2010.
For the six months ended October 23, 2011 and October 24, 2010, the change in accrued purchases of property and equipment in accounts payable increased by $890 and $2,231, respectively.
Acquisition We completed the acquisition of Rainbow Casino-Vicksburg Partnership, L.P. (Rainbow) located in Vicksburg, Mississippi on June 8, 2010 acquiring 100% of the partnership interests and have included the
results of Rainbow in our consolidated financial statements subsequent to June 8, 2010. The pro forma results of operations, as if the acquisition of Rainbow had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2011, is as follows:
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Development ProjectsConstruction is proceeding on time and on budget for our $125,000 Isle Casino Cape Girardeau development. To date we have spent approximately $26,800 in capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, and expect the facility to be completed by December 2012.
On April 14, 2011, the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort (Nemacolin) in Farmington, Pennsylvania was selected by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for the final Category 3 resort gaming license. We had previously entered into an agreement with Nemacolin to complete the build-out of the casino space and provide management services of the casino. We currently estimate the project cost at approximately $50,000. The award of the Pennsylvania license to Nemacolin has been appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court by one of the other applicants. Subject to a successful ruling in the appeal, we expect to complete construction of the facility within approximately nine months after commencing construction.
Legal and Regulatory ProceedingsOur wholly owned subsidiary, Lady Luck Gaming Corporation and several joint venture partners have been defendants in the Greek Civil Courts and the Greek Administrative Courts in similar lawsuits brought by the country of Greece. The actions allege that the defendants failed to make specified payments in connection with the gaming license bid process for Patras, Greece. Although it is difficult to determine the damages being sought from the lawsuits, the action may seek damages up to that aggregate amount plus interest from the date of the action.
In the Civil Court lawsuit, the Civil Court of First Instance ruled in our favor and dismissed the lawsuit in 2001. Greece appealed to the Civil Appeal Court and, in 2003, the Court rejected the appeal. Greece then appealed to the Civil Supreme Court and, in 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that the matter was not properly before the Civil Courts and should be before the Administrative Court.
In the Administrative Court lawsuit, the Administrative Court of First Instance rejected the lawsuit stating that it was not competent to hear the matter. Greece then appealed to the Administrative Appeal Court, which court rejected the appeal in 2003. Greece then appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court, which remanded the matter back to the Administrative Appeal Court for a hearing on the merits. The re-hearing took place in 2006, and in 2008 the Administrative Appeal Court rejected Greeces appeal on procedural grounds. On December 22, 2008 and January 23, 2009, Greece appealed the ruling to the Supreme Administrative Court. A hearing has tentatively been scheduled for February 2012.
The outcome of this matter is still in doubt and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. We intend to continue a vigorous and appropriate defense to the claims asserted in this matter. Through October 23, 2011, we have accrued an estimated liability including interest of $12,256. Our accrual is based upon managements estimate of the original claim by the plaintiffs for lost payments. We continue to accrue interest on the asserted claim. We are unable to estimate a total possible loss as information as to possible additional claims, if any, have not been asserted or quantified by the plaintiffs at this time.
We and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverboat Corporation of Mississippi (RCM), are defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Adams County, Mississippi by Silver Land, Inc., alleging breach of contract in connection with our 2006 sale of casino operations in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to a third party. In January 2011, the court ruled in favor of Silver Land and in September 2011 the court awarded damages of $1,979. We filed a notice of appeal in November 2011. The outcome of this matter is still in doubt and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. We intend to continue a vigorous and appropriate defense to the claims asserted by Silver Land in this matter.
We are subject to certain federal, state and local environmental protection, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to businesses generally, and are subject to cleanup requirements at certain of our facilities as a result thereof. We have not made, and do not anticipate making material expenditures, nor do we anticipate incurring delays with respect to environmental remediation or protection. However, in part because our present and future development sites have, in some cases, been used as manufacturing facilities or other facilities that generate materials that are required to be remediated under environmental laws and regulations, there can be no guarantee that additional pre-existing conditions will not be discovered and we will not experience material liabilities or delays.
We are subject to various contingencies and litigation matters and have a number of unresolved claims. Although the ultimate liability of these contingencies, this litigation and these claims cannot be determined at this time, we believe they will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other On June 13, 2011, we granted an option agreement to a third party for the sale of certain assets used at our Lake Charles, Louisiana property. We recently reached an agreement with the buyer which extends their period to exercise the option until December 30, 2011 from November 30, 2011. If the option is exercised, we expect to finalize the transaction within 30 days after exercise. Upon closing the transaction, we will continue to operate our Lake Charles hotel and land-based operations and consolidate our gaming operations onto one gaming vessel.
