On January 28, 2008, Harrah's Entertainment was acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital, LP. Accordingly, we have separated our 2008 historical financial results in the presentations included herein between the Successor period from January 28, 2008, through December 31, 2008, and the Predecessor period from January 1, 2008, through January 27, 2008. However, we have also combined the Successor and Predecessor periods' results for the year ended December 31, 2008, because company management believes doing so provides a meaningful presentation and a more appropriate comparison to 2009 results.

Property earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Property EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA are measurements not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) but are commonly used in the gaming industry as measures of performance and as bases for valuation of gaming companies and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, as a measure of compliance with certain debt covenants. Reconciliations of Property EBITDA to Net income/(loss) and of Net income to Last Twelve Months (LTM) Adjusted EBITDA are attached to this release.

The company's 2009 fourth-quarter revenues fell 7.9 percent to $2,099.1 million from $2,278.4 million in the 2008 fourth quarter, primarily due to the impact of the recession on customers' discretionary spending and reduced aggregate demand, which impacted average daily room rates. Income from operations was $150.7 million, compared with a loss from operations of $5,348.0 million in the 2008 fourth quarter. Included in the fourth-quarter 2009 income from operations was a charge of $12.3 million for impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. Included in the fourth-quarter 2008 loss from operations were $5,489.6 million of charges for impairments of goodwill and other non-amortizing intangible assets.  The income from continuing operations, net of tax, for the 2009 fourth quarter was $298.3 million, compared with a loss of $4,778.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

Revenues for the full year of 2009 declined 12.0 percent to $8,907.4 million from $10,127.0 million in the full year of 2008. The loss from operations was $607.8 million in the 2009 full year, compared with a loss from operations of $4,274.3 million in 2008. Income from continuing operations, net of tax, for the full year of 2009 was $846.4 million, compared with loss from continuing operations, net of tax, of $5,274.1 million in 2008. Income from continuing operations, net of tax, for the full year 2009, includes i) impairment charges for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets totaling $1,638.0 million ($1,559.6 million net of taxes); and ii) gains related to the early extinguishment of debt of $4,965.5 million ($3,006.5 million net of taxes). Loss from continuing operations, net of tax, for the full year 2008, included impairment charges for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets totaling $5,489.6 million ($5,025.6 million net of taxes).

During the 2009 fourth quarter, Harrah's wholly owned subsidiary Harrah's Operating Company, Inc. (HOC) borrowed $1 billion in incremental term loans under its senior secured credit facilities and used a majority of the net proceeds to repay a portion of indebtedness under the Company's secured credit facilities. Also during the 2009 fourth quarter, Harrah's Entertainment purchased $948 million face value of outstanding debt related to our real estate loans for approximately $237 million, recognizing a pre-tax gain on this transaction of $688.1 million, net of transaction costs.

On January 16, 2010, Harrah's assumed management of the 2,500-room hotel at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. On February 18, 2010, the Nevada Gaming Commission granted final approval for Harrah's to assume ownership and management of the resort's casino and related facilities; the transaction closed February 19. Harrah's pursued the Planet Hollywood deal because of the property's proximity to Harrah's other Strip resorts, its recent upgrades and its strong brand name.

"The Planet Hollywood transaction added a new brand to our product offering in Las Vegas on attractive terms," said Gary Loveman, Harrah's chairman, president and chief executive officer.  "We believe implementation of our operations-management and guest-service systems and Total Rewards customer-loyalty program will enable us to improve the resort's performance. The financing activities that boosted our liquidity during 2009 have allowed us to complete this transaction and consider others that we believe offer significant long-term growth potential.

"The impact of the economy on consumers' willingness to spend continued to affect our results throughout 2009," Loveman said. "The cost-reduction programs implemented at the end of 2008 helped mitigate the economy's impact on our operating margins last year."

A substantial portion of the debt of Harrah's Entertainment's consolidated group is issued by HOC. Therefore, the company believes it is meaningful to also provide information pertaining to the results of operations of HOC. The information for HOC assumes that a post-January 2008 swap of certain properties between HOC and Harrah's Entertainment that was consummated during the 2008 second quarter actually occurred on January 1, 2008.

Summaries of results by region follow:

Las Vegas Region

While hotel occupancy remained strong at approximately 90 percent, 2009 fourth-quarter and full-year revenues declined in the Las Vegas Region from the 2008 periods due to weakness in the group travel business, lower spend per visitor and lower average daily room rates. The 2009 fourth-quarter and full-year Income/(loss) from operations improved compared with respective 2008 results due in part to reduced impairment charges in 2009. Prior to consideration of impairment charges, 2009 fourth-quarter income from operations improved slightly from the 2008 fourth quarter due to cost-saving initiatives, while full-year income from operations declined from 2008 due to lower visitor spend and lower average daily room rates.

Atlantic City Region

Reduced visitation and customer spend per trip unfavorably impacted Atlantic City Region revenues during both the 2009 fourth quarter and full year. For the fourth-quarter and full year of 2009, income from operations before impairment charges was lower than the prior year as cost-saving initiatives were unable to offset reduced revenues and increased marketing expenses, which also contributed to the 2009 fourth-quarter and full-year Property EBITDA declines.

Louisiana/Mississippi Region

Reduced visitation led to declines in 2009 fourth-quarter and full-year revenues. The 2008 full year was impacted by construction disruptions related to the re-branding and remodeling of Harrah's Tunica. Also included in income from operations for the full year 2008 were insurance proceeds of $185.4 million representing final settlement of claims related to 2005 hurricane damages. Prior to consideration of the impairment charges for both years and the insurance proceeds, income from operations improved slightly year over year due to cost-saving initiatives.

Iowa/Missouri Region

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2009 revenues declined from 2008 as the weak economy continued to adversely impact guest visitation. Fourth-quarter 2009 revenues and income from operations were also impacted by severe winter storms. However, income from operations before impairments for the full-year 2009 increased because of cost-saving initiatives.

Illinois/Indiana Region

Revenues in the region declined in the fourth quarter of 2009 from the 2008 fourth quarter, due to the continuing impact of the weak economy and severe winter weather.  For the full year 2009, revenues were relatively unchanged, due to increased revenues related to the 2008 expansion of the Horseshoe Hammond property, which offset the revenue declines at other properties in the region.  Income from operations before impairment charges improved in the fourth quarter 2009 from the year-earlier period due to cost-saving initiatives, combined with the 2008 impact of a property tax expense adjustment. Full-year income from operations before impairment charges improved in 2009 from 2008 due to cost-saving initiatives.

Other Nevada Region

Revenues for the Other Nevada Region declined in the 2009 fourth quarter and full year from the respective periods of 2008 due to lower guest visitation and lower visitor spend per trip. For the 2009 fourth quarter and full year, cost-saving initiatives implemented throughout 2009 partially offset the earnings impact of the revenue declines. During the 2009 fourth quarter, we announced the closure of Bill's Casino in Lake Tahoe effective January 2010.

Managed/International/Other

Revenues rose in the 2009 fourth quarter due to increased visitation combined with higher customer spend per trip at our international properties. Revenues for the 2009 full year declined from 2008 as result of adverse movements in exchange rates. Loss from operations before impairment charges for the 2009 fourth quarter improved from 2008 due to increased revenues and improved cost management. For the full year 2009, the loss from operations before impairment charges improved from 2008 as the impact of adverse foreign exchange rates was more than offset by increased revenues at the company's international properties and improved cost management at all of the company's international and managed properties.

Other items

During the fourth quarter 2009, we recorded a total charge of $12.3 million for the impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. Total impairment charges in 2009 for goodwill and other non-amortizing intangible assets were $1,638.0 million, compared to the prior year charge of $5,489.6 million, all booked in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Interest expense decreased by $117.8 million in the 2009 fourth-quarter and by $272.1 million for the 2009 full-year from the respective periods of 2008 due to lower debt levels resulting from HOC debt exchanges completed in December 2008 and April 2009, and repurchases of debt in open-market transactions.

As a result of debt exchange offers, real estate debt purchases and open-market debt purchases during the year, pre-tax gains of $686.3 million and $4,965.5 million on early extinguishments of debt were recognized in the 2009 fourth quarter and full-year periods, respectively. During the fourth quarter and full year of 2008 we recognized pre-tax gains on the early extinguishment of debt of $946.0 million and $742.1 million, respectively.  

For the 2009 fourth quarter, we recorded a tax provision of $61.0 million on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $359.3 million, compared with a tax benefit of $212.8 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $4,991.0 million in the comparable period of 2008. For the full year 2009, we recognized a tax provision of $1,651.8 million on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $2,498.2 million, which equates to an effective tax rate of 66.1 percent.  The primary differences between the Company's full-year recorded provision and the provision that would have resulted from applying the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35 percent to the Company's pre-tax income from continuing operations are the effects of non-deductible impairments of goodwill, acquisition costs, state income tax expense and other adjustments.

    (a) Property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
        amortization) consists of income/(loss) from operations before
        depreciation and amortization, write-downs, reserves and recoveries,
        project opening costs, corporate expense, acquisition and integration
        costs, income/(losses) on interests in non-consolidated affiliates and
        amortization of intangible assets.  Property EBITDA is a supplemental
        financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to
        evaluate our operations.  However, Property EBITDA should not be
        construed as an alternative to loss 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 generally accepted accounting principles.  All companies do not
        calculate EBITDA in the same manner.  As a result, Property EBITDA as
        presented by our Company may not be comparable to similarly titled
        measures presented by other companies.

          RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME/(LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO HARRAH'S
                    ENTERTAINMENT, INC. TO ADJUSTED EBITDA
                                 (UNAUDITED)
    
    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual
    items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant
    compliance under the indenture governing the senior notes, first lien
    notes, second lien notes and/or our senior secured credit facilities.  We
    believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied
    in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional
    information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about
    unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the
    future.  Because not all companies use identical calculations, our
    presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly
    titled measures of other companies.
    
    The following table reconciles Net income/(loss) attributable to Harrah's
    Entertainment, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA for the Successor quarters ended
    December 31, 2009 and 2008.

       RECONCILIATION OF NET (LOSS)/INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO HARRAH'S
                 ENTERTAINMENT, INC. TO ADJUSTED EBITDA
                              (UNAUDITED)
    
    Last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further
    adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments required or
    permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture governing
    the senior notes, first lien notes, second lien notes and/or our senior
    secured credit facilities.  We believe that the inclusion of supplementary
    adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting LTM Adjusted EBITDA are
    appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain
    material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to
    continue at the same level in the future.  Because not all companies use
    identical calculations, our presentation of LTM Adjusted EBITDA may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
    
    The following table reconciles Net (loss)/income attributable to Harrah's
    Entertainment, Inc. to LTM Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31,
    2009, the Successor period from January 28, 2008 through December 31,
    2008, and for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2008 through January
    27, 2008. We have also combined the Successor and Predecessor periods'
    results for the year ended December 31, 2008, in the presentation below
    because company management believes that it enables a meaningful
    presentation and comparison of results to the Successor year ended

                       CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA
                                (UNAUDITED)
    
    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual
    items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant
    compliance under the indenture governing the senior notes, first lien
    notes, second lien notes and/or our senior secured credit facilities. We
    believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied
    in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional
    information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about
    unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the
    future. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our
    presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly
    titled measures of other companies. 
    
    In connection with the acquisition of the Company by affiliates of Apollo
    Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital, LP, eight of our properties and
    their related operating assets were spun off from Harrah's Operating
    Company to Harrah's Entertainment through a series of distributions,
    liquidations, transfers and contributions, collectively referred to as the
    "the CMBS Spin-Off." The eight properties, as of the closing, are Harrah's
    Las Vegas, Rio, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah's Atlantic City, Showboat
    Atlantic City, Harrah's Lake Tahoe, Harvey's Lake Tahoe and Bill's Lake
    Tahoe. Subsequent to the closing, Paris Las Vegas and Harrah's Laughlin
    and their related operating assets were spun off from Harrah's Operating
    Company and its subsidiaries to Harrah's Entertainment, and Harrah's Lake
    Tahoe, Harvey's Lake Tahoe, Bill's Lake Tahoe and Showboat Atlantic City
    and their related operating assets were transferred to subsidiaries of
    Harrah's Operating Company from Harrah's Entertainment (the "Post-Close
    CMBS Transaction"). The properties spun off from Harrah's Operating
    Company and owned by Harrah's Entertainment, whether at closing or after
    the subsequent transfer, are collectively referred to as "the CMBS
    properties." We refer to the CMBS Spin-Off and the Post-Closing CMBS
    Transaction as the "CMBS Transactions."
    
    Also in connection with the acquisition by affiliates of Apollo and TPG,
    London Clubs International Limited ("London Clubs") and its subsidiaries,
    with the exception of the subsidiaries related to the South Africa
    operations, became subsidiaries of Harrah's Operating Company ("the London
    Clubs Transfer"). London Clubs and its subsidiaries were previously
    subsidiaries of Harrah Entertainment.

    (a) Reflects the inclusion of the London Clubs operating results pursuant 
        to the London Clubs Transfer, in which London Clubs and its 
        subsidiaries became subsidiaries of HOC. 
    (b) Reflects the removal of the operating results of the CMBS properties, 
        pursuant to the CMBS Transactions in which certain properties and 
        operations of HOC were spun-off into a separate borrowing structure 
        and held side-by-side with HOC under Harrah's Entertainment. The 
        operating expenses of HOC include unallocated costs attributable to 
        services that have been performed by HOC on behalf of the CMBS 
        properties. These costs are primarily related to corporate functions 
        such as accounting, tax, treasury, payroll and benefits 
        administration, risk management, legal, and information management and
        technology. The CMBS spin-off reflects the push-down of corporate 
        expense of $34.7 million that was unallocated at January 27, 2008.  
        Following the Acquisition, many of these services will continue to be 
        provided by HOC pursuant to a shared services agreement with the CMBS 
        properties. 
    (c) Represents the historical financial information of HOC. 
    (d) Represents the removal of (i) the financial information of all 
        subsidiaries of Harrah's Entertainment that are not a component of    
        HOC, namely, captive insurance companies and London Clubs and its 
        subsidiaries; and (ii) accounts at Harrah's Entertainment parent 
        company.
    (e) Represents the financial information of Harrah's Entertainment.
