NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Boyd Gaming Corporation (and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company," "Boyd," "Boyd Gaming," "we" or "us") was incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1988 and has been operating since 1975. The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BYD."

We are a geographically diversified operator of 29 wholly owned gaming entertainment properties. Headquartered in Las Vegas, we have gaming operations in Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10 -Q and Article 10 of Regulation S- X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 1, 2019.

The results for the periods indicated are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be achieved during a full year of operations or in future periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boyd Gaming and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which do not meet the consolidation criteria of the authoritative accounting guidance for voting interest, controlling interest or variable interest entities, are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments, which include cash on hand and in banks, interest-bearing deposits and money market funds with maturities of three months or less at their date of purchase. The instruments are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions. Although these balances may at times exceed the federal insured deposit limit, we believe such risk is mitigated by the quality of the institution holding such deposit. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values as such balances are generally available on demand.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of advance payments related to: (i) future bookings with our Hawaiian travel agency; and (ii) amounts restricted by regulation for gaming and racing purposes. These restricted cash balances are invested in highly liquid instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less. These restricted cash balances are held by high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair value due to their short maturities.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total balance shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Leases

Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. For our operating leases for which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we generally use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating right-of-use ("ROU") assets and finance lease assets are recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued liabilities and operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue contracts with customers consist of gaming wagers, hotel room sales, food & beverage offerings and other amenity transactions. The transaction price for a gaming wagering contract is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. Cash discounts, commissions and other cash incentives to customers related to gaming play are recorded as a reduction of gross gaming revenues. The transaction price for hotel, food & beverage and other contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. Hotel, food & beverage and other services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and the transaction price for such contracts is recorded as revenue as the good or service is transferred to the customer over their stay at the hotel, when the delivery is made for the food & beverage or when the service is provided for other amenity transactions.

Gaming wager contracts involve two performance obligations for those customers earning points under the Company’s player loyalty programs and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the programs. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio to not differ materially from that which would result if applying the guidance to an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty point contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the points earned, which is determined by the value of a point that can be redeemed for a hotel room stay, food & beverage or other amenities. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. An amount is allocated to the gaming wager performance obligation using the residual approach as the stand-alone price for wagers is highly variable and no set established price exists for such wagers. The allocated revenue for gaming wagers is recognized when the wagers occur as all such wagers settle immediately. The loyalty point contract liability amount is deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the points for a hotel room stay, food & beverage or other amenities and such goods or services are delivered to the customer. See Note 5, Accrued Liabilities , for the balance outstanding related to player loyalty programs.

The Company collects advanced deposits from hotel customers for future reservations representing obligations of the Company until the hotel room stay is provided to the customer. See Note 5, Accrued Liabilities , for the balance outstanding related to advance deposits.

The Company's outstanding chip liability represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer. Outstanding chips are expected to be recognized as revenue or redeemed for cash within one year of being purchased. See Note 5, Accrued Liabilities , for the balance outstanding related to the chip liability.

The retail value of hotel accommodations, food & beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is recorded as departmental revenues. Gaming revenues are net of incentives earned in our slot bonus program such as cash and the estimated retail value of goods and services (such as complimentary hotel rooms and food & beverage). We reward customers, through the use of bonus programs, with points based on amounts wagered that can be redeemed for a specified period of time for complimentary slot play, food & beverage, and to a lesser extent for other goods or services, depending upon the property.

__________________

The estimated retail value related to goods and services provided to customers without charge or upon redemption of points under our player loyalty programs, included in departmental revenues, and therefore reducing our gaming revenues, are as follows:

	Three Months Ended — September 30,		Nine Months Ended — September 30,

Rooms	24,482	19,437	71,798	58,298
Other	3,753	3,061	10,983	8,389

Gaming Taxes

We are subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which we operate. These gaming taxes are recorded as a gaming expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These taxes totaled approximately $ 136.2 million and $ 83.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $ 411.0 million and $ 241.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Use of the term "more likely than not" indicates the likelihood of occurrence is greater than 50%. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is continually assessed based on a more-likely-than- not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with the utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before expiration and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

Other Long-Term Tax Liabilities

The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on accounting standards for uncertain income taxes, which prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.

Uncertain tax position accounting standards apply to all tax positions related to income taxes. These accounting standards utilize a two -step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement is only addressed if the position is deemed to be more likely than not to be sustained. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.

Tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first subsequent interim period that they meet the "more likely than not" standard. If it is subsequently determined that a previously recognized tax position no longer meets the "more likely than not" standard, it is required that the tax position is derecognized. Accounting standards for uncertain tax positions specifically prohibit the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions. As applicable, the Company will recognize accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties are included in other long-term tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018 - 02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income ("Update 2018 - 02" )

In first quarter 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2018 - 02 which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The effect of this change in accounting principle is to record an other comprehensive income tax effect of $ 0.3 million as a reduction in retained earnings on the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 .

ASU 2016 - 02, Leases ("Update 2016 - 02" ); ASU 2018 - 10, Targeted Improvements ("Update 2018 - 10" ); ASU 2018 - 01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 ("Update ASU 2018 - 01" ); ASU 2018 - 11, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ("Update 2018 - 11" ); ASU 2019 - 01, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ("Update 1901 - 01" ) (collectively, the “Lease Standard”)

The Lease Standard provides for transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company adopted the Lease Standard effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, which allows the initial application of the new guidance as of the adoption date without adjusting comparative periods presented. We elected the package of practical expedients for leases that commenced prior to the adoption date whereby we elected to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also made an accounting policy election that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Adoption of the Lease Standard resulted in the recognition of $ 926.7 million of ROU assets and $ 921.8 million of lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the date of adoption, primarily related to land, buildings and office space. The difference of $ 4.9 million represented deferred rent for leases that existed as of the date of adoption, which was an offset to the opening balance of right-of-use assets. The adoption of the Lease Standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows.

See Note 8, Leases , for further information regarding our leases.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2019 - 04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments ("Update 2019 - 04" ) and ASU 2019 - 05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("Update 2019 - 05" )

In April and May 2019, the FASB issued Update 2019 - 04 and Update 2019 - 05, respectively, to provide clarification and corrections to ASU 2016 - 13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("Update 2016 - 13" ) . The impact to the consolidated financial statements of Update 2016 - 13 is currently being evaluated by the Company. Update 2019 - 04 and Update 2019 - 05, along with Update 2016 - 13, are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of Update 2019 - 04 and Update 2019 - 05 to the consolidated financial statements.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently being studied by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on our consolidated financial statements.

Status of Purchase Price Allocation

The Company followed the acquisition method of accounting per FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 ("ASC 805" ) guidance. In accordance with ASC 805, we have allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as determined by management with the assistance from third -party specialists.

Lattner Entertainment Group Illinois

On June 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Lattner Entertainment Group Illinois, LLC ("Lattner"), a distributed gaming operator headquartered in Ottawa, Illinois, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Lattner Merger Agreement") dated as of May 1, 2018, by and among Boyd, Boyd TCVI Acquisition, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boyd ("Boyd TCVI"), Lattner, and Lattner Capital, LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative of the equity holders of Lattner.

Pursuant to the Lattner Merger Agreement, Boyd TCVI merged with and into Lattner (the "Lattner Merger"), with Lattner surviving the Lattner Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Boyd. Lattner operates nearly 1,000 gaming units in approximately 220 locations across the state of Illinois and is aggregated into our Midwest & South segment (See Note 11, Segment Information ) . The net purchase price was $ 100.0 million.

Consideration Transferred

The fair value of the consideration transferred pursuant to the Lattner Merger Agreement represented the purchase price of the net assets acquired. The total gross consideration was $ 110.5 million.

Status of Purchase Price Allocation

The Company followed the acquisition method of accounting per ASC 805 guidance. In accordance with ASC 805, we allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as determined by management with assistance from third -party appraisals. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation below represents Lattner's opening balance sheet on June 1, 2018, which was reported in our Form 10 -K for the annual period ended December 31, 2018. During the measurement period, which concluded on March 31, 2019, opening balance sheet adjustments were made to finalize the preliminary fair value estimates, resulting in a $ 1.0 million increase in other assets and a $ 0.2 million increase in property and equipment, with a corresponding decrease of $ 1.2 million to goodwill. The measurement period adjustments and the related tax impact were immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 2, 2017 the Company announced that its Board of Directors had reaffirmed the Company's existing share repurchase program (the "2008 Plan"). On December 12, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of $ 100 million which is in addition to the existing repurchase authorization (the "2018 Plan").

Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for share-based payments. Under the guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee's requisite service period.

The following table provides classification detail of the total costs related to our share-based employee compensation plans reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

	Three Months Ended — September 30,		Nine Months Ended — September 30,

Performance Shares

Our stock incentive plan provides for the issuance of Performance Share Unit ("PSU") grants which may be earned, in whole or in part, upon passage of time and the attainment of performance criteria. We periodically review our estimates of performance against the defined criteria to assess the expected payout of each outstanding PSU grant and adjust our stock compensation expense accordingly.

__________________

The PSU grants awarded in fourth quarter 2015 and 2014 vested during first quarter 2019 and 2018, respectively. Common shares were issued based on the determination by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of our actual achievement of net revenue growth, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") growth and customer service scores for the three -year performance period of each grant. As provided under the provisions of our stock incentive plan, certain of the participants elected to surrender a portion of the shares to be received to pay the withholding and other payroll taxes payable on the compensation resulting from the vesting of the PSUs.

The PSU grant awarded in October 2015 resulted in a total of 395,964 shares being issued during first quarter 2019, representing approximately 1.67 shares per PSU. Of the 395,964 shares issued, a total of 125,004 were surrendered by the participants for payroll taxes, resulting in a net issuance of 270,960 shares due to the vesting of the 2015 grant. The actual achievement level under the award metrics equaled the estimated performance as of year-end 2018; therefore, the vesting of the PSUs did not impact compensation costs in our 2019 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The PSU grant awarded in December 2014 resulted in a total of 486,805 shares being issued during first quarter 2018, representing approximately 1.57 shares per PSU. Of the 486,805 shares issued, a total of 149,268 were surrendered by the participants for payroll taxes, resulting in a net issuance of 337,537 shares due to the vesting of the 2014 grant. The actual achievement level under the award metrics equaled the estimated performance as of year-end 2017; therefore, the vesting of the PSUs did not impact compensation costs in our 2018 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1** : Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 : Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 : Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Thus, assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 may be measured at fair value using inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2 ) and unobservable (Level 3 ). Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following tables show the fair values of certain of our financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 1, are based on statements received from our banks at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Investment Available for Sale

We have an investment in a single municipal bond issuance of $ 19.5 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5 % Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Taxable Series 2007 with a maturity date of June 1, 2037 that is classified as available for sale. We are the only holder of this instrument and there is no quoted market price for this instrument. As such, the fair value of this investment is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the instrument is estimated using a discounted cash flows approach and the significant unobservable input used in the valuation at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is a discount rate of 10.3 % and 11.2 %, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses on this instrument resulting from changes in the fair value of the instrument are not charged to earnings, but rather are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders' equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , $ 0.6 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively, of the carrying value of the investment available for sale is included as a current asset in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , $ 16.2 million and $ 15.3 million, respectively, is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The discount associated with this investment of $ 2.7 million and $ 2.8 million, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, is netted with the investment balance and is being accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of such discount is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Contingent Payments

In connection with the development of the Kansas Star Casino ("Kansas Star"), Kansas Star agreed to pay a former casino project promoter 1 % of Kansas Star's EBITDA each month for a period of ten years commencing on December 20, 2011. The liability is recorded at the estimated fair value of the contingent payments using a discounted cash flows approach and the significant unobservable input used in the valuation at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , is a discount rate of 6.9 % and 6.8 %, respectively. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , there was a current liability of $ 0.9 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, related to this agreement, which is recorded in accrued liabilities on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets, and long-term obligation at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , of $ 1.0 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively, which is included in other liabilities on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We are exposed to valuation risk on our Level 3 financial instruments. We estimate our risk exposure using a sensitivity analysis of potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs of our fair value measurements. Our Level 3 financial instruments are most susceptible to valuation risk caused by changes in the discount rate. If the discount in our fair value measurements increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the change would not cause the value of our fair value measurements to change significantly.

Most of our gaming entertainment properties also include hotel, dining, retail and other amenities. Our main business emphasis is on slot revenues, which are highly dependent upon the number of visits and spending levels of customers at our properties.

Our properties have historically generated significant operating cash flow, with the majority of our revenue being cash-based. While we do provide casino credit, subject to certain gaming regulations and jurisdictions, most of our customers wager with cash and pay for non-gaming services with cash or by credit card.

Our industry is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow in order to fund maintenance capital expenditures, fund acquisitions, provide excess cash for future development, repay debt financing and associated interest costs, repurchase our debt or equity securities, and pay income taxes and dividends.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to increase shareholder value by pursuing strategic initiatives that improve and grow our business.

Strengthening Our Balance Sheet

We are committed to finding opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet through diversifying and increasing cash flow to reduce our debt.

Operating Efficiently

We are committed to operating more efficiently, and endeavor to prevent unneeded expense in our business. As we continue to experience revenue growth in both our gaming and non-gaming operations, the efficiencies of our business model position us to flow a substantial portion of the revenue growth directly to the bottom line.

Evaluating Acquisition Opportunities

Our evaluations of potential transactions and acquisitions are strategic, deliberate, and disciplined. Our goal is to identify and pursue opportunities that are a good fit for our business, deliver a solid return for shareholders, and are available at the right price.

Maintaining Our Brand

The ability of our employees to deliver great customer service helps distinguish our Company and our brands from our competitors. Our employees are an important reason that our customers continue to choose our properties over the competition across the country.

Our Key Performance Indicators

We use several key performance measures to evaluate the operations of our properties. These key performance measures include the following:

•

Gaming revenue measures : slot handle , which means the dollar amount wagered in slot machines, and table game drop , which means the total amount of cash deposited in table games drop boxes, plus the sum of markers issued at all table games, are measures of volume and/or market share. Slot win and table game hold , which mean the difference between customer wagers and customer winnings on slot machines and table games, respectively, represent the amount of wagers retained by us and recorded as gaming revenues. Slot win percentage and table game hold percentage, which are not fully controllable by us, represent the relationship between slot handle to slot win and table game drop to table game hold, respectively.

•

Food & beverage revenue measures : average guest check , which means the average amount spent per customer visit and is a measure of volume and product offerings; number of guests served ("food covers"), which is an indicator of volume; and the cost per guest served , which is a measure of operating margin.

•

Room revenue measures : hotel occupancy rate , which measures the utilization of our available rooms; and average daily rate ("ADR"), which is a price measure.

Income from continuing operations, net of tax for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $39.4 million, as compared to $11.8 million in the comparable prior year period, resulting in an increase of $27.6 million. This increase is attributable to $43.8 million operating income increase, as discussed above, offset by a $5.0 million increase in interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, due to an increase in the average long-term debt balance of $332.1 million reflecting the additional debt issued to fund the Acquisitions. In addition, the income tax provision increased $9.2 million from the prior year comparable period due to an increase in income.

Income from continuing operations, net of tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $133.3 million, as compared to $91.8 million in the comparable prior year period, resulting in an increase of $41.5 million. This increase is attributable to the $97.1 million operating income increase, as discussed above, offset by a $38.3 million increase in interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, due to an increase in the average long-term debt balance of $740.7 million reflecting the additional debt issued to fund Acquisitions and a 0.3 percentage point increase in the weighted average interest rate. In addition, the income tax provision increased $14.6 million from the prior year comparable period due to an increase in income.

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by Reportable Segment

We determine each of our properties' profitability based upon Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Rent expense related to the master lease ("Adjusted EBITDAR"), which represents earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent, master lease rent expense, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedowns expenses, impairments of assets and other operating items, net, as applicable. Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is the aggregate sum of the Adjusted EBITDAR for each of the properties comprising our Las Vegas Locals, Downtown Las Vegas and Midwest & South segments before net amortization, preopening and other items. Results for Downtown Las Vegas include the results of our travel agency and captive insurance company in Hawaii. Results for our Illinois distributed gaming operator are included in our Midwest & South segment. Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, aircraft expenses and various other expenses not directly related to our casino and hotel operations. Furthermore, corporate expense excludes its portion of share-based compensation expense.

EBITDAR is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides our investors a more complete understanding of our operating results before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes and facilitates comparisons between us and our competitors. Management has historically adjusted EBITDAR when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide a full understanding of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results.

The following table presents our total revenues and Adjusted EBITDAR by Reportable Segment:

	Three Months Ended

We continue to focus on disciplined and targeted marketing spend, and our ongoing cost containment efforts.

Master Lease Rent Expense

Master lease rent expense represents rent expense incurred by those properties that we acquired in October 2018 which are subject to a master lease agreement with a real estate investment trust.

Maintenance and Utilities

Maintenance and utilities expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were relatively consistent at 5.0% and 5.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 4.8% and 4.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

(In millions)	2019	2018	2019	2018
Interest Expense, net	$ 59.2	$ 52.5	$ 180.9	$ 140.7
Average Long-Term Debt Balance (1)	3,917.2	3,585.1	3,981.8	3,241.0
Weighted Average Interest Rates	5.7 %	5.6 %	5.7 %	5.4 %

(1) Average debt balance calculation does not include the related discounts or deferred finance charges.

The impact is attributable to an increase in the average long-term debt balance of $332.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $740.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , which is driven by the issuance in June 2018 of the $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior notes due August 2026 issued in anticipation of the Acquisitions and incremental revolver borrowings incurred in October 2018 to fund the Pinnacle Acquisition. In addition, the weighted average interest rate percentage point increased by 0.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, which is driven by an increase in the underlying Eurodollar rate.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on income during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 24.4% and 23.6%, respectively. Our provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were unfavorably impacted by state taxes and certain nondeductible expenses. Our tax rates were favorably impacted by the inclusion of excess tax benefits, related to equity compensation, as a component of the provision for income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial Position

We generally operate with minimal or negative levels of working capital in order to minimize borrowings and related interest costs. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had balances of cash and cash equivalents of $235.1 million and $249.4 million, respectively. In addition, we held restricted cash balances of $26.4 million and $23.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Our bank credit facility generally provides all necessary funds for the day-to-day operations, interest and tax payments, as well as capital expenditures. On a daily basis, we evaluate our cash position and adjust the balance under our bank credit facility as necessary, by either borrowing or paying down debt with excess cash. We also plan the timing and the amounts of capital expenditures. We believe that the borrowing capacity under the bank credit facility, subject to restrictive covenants, and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital resource needs for the next twelve months, including our projected operating requirements and maintenance capital expenditures. The source of funds available to us for repayment of debt or to fund development projects is derived primarily from cash flows from operations and availability under our bank credit facility, to the extent availability exists after we meet working capital needs, and subject to restrictive covenants. See " Indebtedness ", below, for further detail regarding funds available through our bank credit facility.

The Company could also seek to secure additional working capital, repay respective current debt maturities, or fund respective development projects, in whole or in part, through incremental bank financing and additional debt or equity offerings.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we generated net operating cash flow of $415.4 million and $332.2 million, respectively. Generally, operating cash flows increased during 2019 as compared to the prior year period due to the Acquisitions and timing of working capital spending.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our industry is capital intensive and we use cash flows for acquisitions, facility expansions, investments in future development or business opportunities and maintenance capital expenditures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred net cash outflows for investing activities of $195.6 million and $485.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred cash outflows of $166.8 million primarily related to the purchase of real estate, information technology purchases for new software and acquisition-related costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred cash outflows of $367.3 million related to the Lattner and Valley Forge acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We rely upon our financing cash flows to provide funding for investment opportunities, repayments of obligations and ongoing operations.

Table of Contents

The net cash outflows from financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, reflect primarily the use of cash flow to reduce our outstanding debt, repurchase outstanding common stock under our share repurchase program and pay cash dividends to our shareholders. The net cash inflows from financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, reflect primarily the proceeds received for the issuance of our 6.000% Senior Notes due August 2026. The Company utilized the net proceeds from the debt issuance to pay down the outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and Swing Loan and invested the balance of the net proceeds in cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities at a qualified institution. The remaining outflows reflect the use of excess cash to reduce our outstanding debt, repurchase outstanding common stock under our share repurchase program and pay dividends to our shareholders.

(In millions)	2019	2018
Revolving Credit Facility	$ 265.0	$ 320.0
Term A Loan	237.8	248.3
Refinancing Term B Loans	1,058.2	1,152.7
Swing Loan	31.3	50.3
Total outstanding principal amounts under the bank credit facility	$ 1,592.3	$ 1,771.3

With a total revolving credit commitment of $945.5 million available under the bank credit facility, $265.0 million was borrowed on the Revolving Credit Facility, $31.3 million was borrowed on the Swing Loan and $12.7 million allocated to support various letters of credit, leaving a remaining contractual availability of $636.5 million as of September 30, 2019.

The blended interest rate for outstanding borrowings under the bank credit facility was 4.2% at September 30, 2019 and 4.7% at December 31, 2018.

Debt Service Requirements

Debt service requirements under our current outstanding senior notes consist of semi-annual interest payments (based upon fixed annual interest rates ranging from 6.000% to 6.875%) and principal repayments of our 6.875% senior notes due May 2023, our 6.375% senior notes due April 2026, and our 6.000% senior notes due August 2026.

Covenant Compliance

As of September 30, 2019, we believe that we were in compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in our debt instruments.

The indentures governing the senior notes contain provisions that allow for the incurrence of additional indebtedness, if after giving effect to such incurrence, the fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the respective indentures, essentially a ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges, including interest) for the trailing four quarter period on a pro forma basis would be at least 2.0 to 1.0. Should this provision prohibit the incurrence of additional debt, we may still borrow under our existing bank credit facility, as well as from other funding sources as provided under our debt agreements.

Share Repurchase Program

Subject to applicable corporate securities laws, repurchases under our stock repurchase program may be made at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate. We are subject to certain limitations regarding the repurchase of common stock, such as restricted payment limitations related to our outstanding notes and bank credit facility. Purchases under our stock repurchase program can be discontinued at any time at our sole discretion. We intend to fund the repurchases under the stock repurchase program with existing cash resources and availability under our bank credit facility. In July 2008, our Board of Directors authorized an amendment to our existing share repurchase program to increase the amount of common stock available to be repurchased to $100 million. On May 2, 2017 the Company announced that its Board of Directors had reaffirmed the Company's existing share repurchase program (the "2008 Plan"). On December 12, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of $100 million which is in addition to the existing repurchase authorization (the "2018 Plan"). We are not obligated to purchase any shares under our stock repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we repurchased 1.1 million shares and 1.3 million shares, respectively, of our common stock. We are currently authorized to repurchase up to an additional $72.5 million in shares of our common stock under the 2018 share repurchase program. The 2008 share repurchase program has been depleted.

We have in the past, and may in the future, acquire our debt or equity securities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine.

Quarterly Dividend Program

The dividends declared by the Board of Directors under this program and reflected in the periods presented are:

Other Items Affecting Liquidity

We anticipate funding our capital requirements using cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent availability exists after we meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. Any additional financing that is needed may not be available to us or, if available, may not be on terms favorable to us. The outcome of the specific matters discussed herein, including our commitments and contingencies, may also affect our liquidity.

Commitments

Capital Spending and Development

We currently estimate that our annual cash capital requirements to perform on-going refurbishment and maintenance at our properties to maintain our quality standards ranges from bet ween $170 million and $190 million. We f und our capital expenditures through our bank credit facility and operating cash flows.

In addition to the capital spending discussed above, we continue to pursue other potential development projects that may require us to invest significant amounts of capital. For example, we continue to work with the Wilton Rancheria Tribe (the "Tribe"), a federally-recognized Native American tribe, to develop and manage a gaming entertainment complex to be located about 15 miles southeast of Sacramento, California. In January 2017, we funded the acquisition of land that is the intended site of the Wilton Rancheria casino for $35.1 million. This cost will be reimbursed to us from the cash flows of the business following the opening of the facility. In September 2017, the California State Legislature unanimously approved, and the Governor of California executed, a tribal-state gaming compact with the tribe allowing the development of the casino. In October 2018, the National Indian Gaming Commission approved the Company's management contract with the Tribe. With the compact now in place, we are in the process of finalizing project budget, design and construction planning. The project will be constructed using third-party financing. Once commenced and project financing put in place, the construction timeline is expected to span 18 to 24 months.

Other Opportunities

We regularly investigate and pursue additional expansion opportunities in markets where casino gaming is currently permitted. We also pursue expansion opportunities in jurisdictions where casino gaming is not currently permitted in order to be prepared to develop projects upon approval of casino gaming. Such expansions will be affected and determined by several key factors, which may include the following:

•	the outcome of gaming license selection processes;
•	the approval of gaming in jurisdictions where we have been active but where casino gaming is not currently permitted;
•	identification of additional suitable investment opportunities in current gaming jurisdictions; and
•	availability of acceptable financing.

Additional projects may require us to make substantial investments or may cause us to incur substantial costs related to the investigation and pursuit of such opportunities, which investments and costs we may fund through cash flow from operations or availability under our bank credit facility. To the extent such sources of funds are not sufficient, we may also seek to raise such additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings or from other sources.

Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that all pending claims, if adversely decided, would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019.

•	The risk that any of our projects may not be completed, if at all, on time or within established budgets, or that any project will not result in increased earnings to us.
•	The risk that significant delays, cost overruns, or failures of any of our projects to achieve market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

•	The risk that new gaming licenses or jurisdictions become available (or implement new or different gaming regulations or increased or additional taxes) that results in increased competition or cost to us.

•	The effects of events adversely impacting the economy or the regions from which we draw a significant percentage of our customers, including the effects of economic recession, war, terrorist or similar activity or natural or man-made disasters in, at, or around our properties.

•	Financial community and rating agency perceptions of us, and the effect of economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy and the gaming and hotel industry.

•	Other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies.
•	The risk that we may be unable to retain our key management and personnel, including key employees of the acquired companies.
•	Our current and future insurance coverage levels, including the risk we have not obtained sufficient coverage, may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage in the future, or will only be able to obtain additional coverage at significantly increased rates.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018, and in other current and periodic reports filed from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk, specifically long-term U.S. treasury rates and the applicable spreads in the high-yield investment market, short-term and long-term LIBOR rates, and short-term Eurodollar rates, and their potential impact on our long-term debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed-rate borrowings and short-term borrowings under our bank credit facility. We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of September 30, 2019, our long-term variable-rate borrowings represented approximately 41.4% of total long-term debt. Based on September 30, 2019 debt levels, a 100 basis point change in the interest rate would cause our annual interest costs to change by approximately $15.9 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
