Greektown Superholdings, Inc. Provides First Quarter 2012 Guidance

DETROIT, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Greektown Superholdings, Inc. ("Greektown" or the "company") today reported estimated net revenues for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Estimated net revenues were $91.8 million, a 7.4% increase over first quarter 2011 net revenues of $85.5 million. Net revenues were higher than the comparable period of the prior year for each month of the quarter.

Based on these estimated net revenues, the company estimates a first quarter net loss of $1.1 million to $1.5 million, compared to a net loss of $8.5 million a year ago. EBITDA(1) is anticipated to range between $23.3 million and $23.7 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $18.2 million in the same quarter of 2011. Estimates of first quarter 2012 performance are subject to any necessary adjustments arising from the finalization and auditor review of the company's financial statements.

"We're pleased by the strong growth in net revenues for the first quarter," said Michael Puggi, Greektown's president and chief executive officer. "We believe that the casino renovations and other initiatives completed in 2011 are positively impacting current year operating performance. In fact, net revenues in February and March 2012 were the highest of any February or March, respectively, in the company's history."

"This is the second consecutive quarter in which we have realized meaningful year-over-year revenue improvement," continued Puggi, "and we intend to continue with additional property and operational enhancements designed to expand our appeal and improve our financial performance."

(1) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a measurement not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) but is commonly used in the gaming industry as a measure of performance and as a basis for valuation of gaming companies. Reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA is attached to this release. EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate our operations. However, 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 GAAP. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, the Company's EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
