Reading Time: 11 minutes
90% INCREASE IN REVENUE. EXPANSION CONTINUES.
COQUITLAM, BC, Aug. 14, 2018 – Great Canadian Gaming Corporation [TSX:GC] (“Great Canadian,” or “the Company”) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2018 (the “second quarter”).
SECOND QUARTER 2018 HIGHLIGHTS
- On May 1, 2018, the Ontario Gaming West GTA Limited Partnership (“OGWGLP”), a partnership in which the Company holds a 55% interest, successfully completed the acquisition of certain gaming assets and leased real property in the West Greater Toronto Area (the “West GTA Gaming Bundle”) for a purchase price of $121.6 million, including working capital of $25.2 million. OGWGLP arranged a 5-year revolving credit facility for the acquisition of the assets, operations and development of the gaming facilities in the West GTA Gaming Bundle, which currently has a total capacity of $285.0 million.
- On June 3, 2018, the Company signed new Operational Services Agreements (“OSAs”) with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (“BCLC”), which replaced the existing Casino Operating Services Agreements (“COSAs”) and extends the Company’s rights to operate all of its B.C. properties for a minimum 20-year term. Key changes in the new OSAs include increased operating commissions for table games, poker and bingo, as well as a new 5% Facility Investment Commission, which replaced the 3% Facility Development Commission (“FDC”) and 2% accelerated FDC under the former COSAs.
- One Toronto Gaming (“OTG”) (previously referred to as Ontario Gaming GTA Limited Partnership) continues its development plans for its gaming facilities in the GTA Gaming Bundle. In April 2018, OTG received approval from the City of Toronto that will allow expanded gaming at Casino Woodbine and plans to introduce 50 table games and over 500 slot machines, including electronic table games, in the third quarter of 2018. This will be the first time live dealer table games are available within the Greater Toronto Area. The Company anticipates a further addition of 50 table games and over 300 slot machines in the fourth quarter of 2018.
- Revenues of $305.3 million in the second quarter, an increase of 90%, when compared to the same period in the prior year.
- Net earnings of $64.0 million in the second quarter, an increase of 134%, when compared to the same period in the prior year.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $124.6 million for the second quarter, an increase of 98%, when compared to the same period in the prior year.
- Shareholders’ net earnings of $42.0 million or $0.69 per common share in the second quarter, an increase of 57% and 60%, respectively, when compared to the same period in the prior year.
“Our second quarter results reflected a full quarter of operations from the GTA Gaming Bundle and two months of operations from the West GTA Gaming Bundle. Our expanded presence in Ontario and the long term extensions in B.C from the new OSAs secure the Company’s position as the preeminent gaming operator in Canada. Great Canadian is now a much stronger and more diversified company that is well positioned for further growth,” stated Rod Baker, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
Revenues of $305.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $124.6 million increased by 90% and 98%, respectively, in the second quarter, when compared to the same period in the prior year, due to contributions from the acquisitions of the GTA and West GTA Gaming Bundles.
Shareholders’ net earnings for the second quarter increased, when compared to the same period in the prior year, as a result of increased Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by increases in amortization, business acquisition, restructuring and other, and income taxes, primarily due to the acquisition of the GTA Gaming Bundle and the West GTA Gaming Bundle.
“We are pleased with our early progress on the development plans for the GTA Gaming Bundle,” continued Mr. Baker. “Plans to transform Casino Woodbine into an international casino resort destination are underway. In the interim, Casino Woodbine plans to introduce table games and additional slot capacity in the second half of 2018. Our new offering of table games will help attract and develop our customer base and introduce them to our amazing resort when it is completed in 2021.”
“Included in our GTA Gaming Bundle expansion plans is the development of a second world-class casino resort destination in eastern GTA which is targeted to open in late 2019. In addition, at Great Blue Heron, construction has commenced and the first phase of the expanded casino is scheduled to launch in late 2018. Our plans will transform our facilities into premium tourist destinations for local and international guests that will create new jobs and economic growth in the Greater Toronto Area,” Mr. Baker said.
“After acquiring the West GTA Gaming Bundle on May 1, 2018, we repositioned the former OLG Slots at Mohawk Racetrack, OLG Slots at Flamboro Downs, OLG Slots at Grand River Raceway and OLG Casino Brantford to the Company’s Elements Casino brand. We have significant phased transformations planned for these properties, which include comprehensive interior refreshes, expanded gaming that will introduce live table games to three slot facilities, enhanced food and beverage offerings, and additional premium non-gaming amenities, including hotels and live entertainment venues. We look forward to continue building our businesses in Ontario and create excellent guest experiences as we progress through each phase of these property transformations.”
“Great Canadian remains equally focused on the growth opportunities in the B.C. market. We now have the long-term security required to invest into our B.C. properties to pursue additional revenue opportunities. This includes the former View Royal Casino, now rebranded as Elements Casino Victoria, which hosted a Grand Opening Celebration on May 5, 2018. The new facility doubles the physical size of the former facility, featuring expanded gaming capacity and significantly improved non-gaming amenities.”
“We remain committed to ensuring our operations in all jurisdictions continue to adhere to all regulatory requirements and maintain the highest standards of integrity for our industry. In B.C., we welcomed the release of Dr. Peter German’s independent review of B.C.’s anti-money laundering (“AML”) system on June 27, 2018, which examined B.C.’s gaming industry and provided recommendations to enhance the current AML system. Our Company engaged openly with Dr. German during his review and continues to work collaboratively with regulators and Crown corporations in all jurisdictions we do business in to enhance the AML system as part of our proactive commitment to keep funds from illegal sources out of the gaming industry.”
“At the end of the second quarter, Great Canadian had a cash balance of $495.9 million, available capacity of $346.8 million on its undrawn senior secured revolving credit facility, available capacity of $903.3 million on OTG’s revolving and capital expenditures credit facilities, and $151.0 million on the revolving credit facility of OGWGLP. The comprehensive development plans for the Ontario gaming properties will be supported by their respective partnership’s non-recourse credit facilities, reinvested cash flows from operations, and any partner contributions required. Great Canadian continues to maintain its strong financial position which will support our extensive development plans, particularly in Ontario and B.C. We look forward to finding new opportunities to invest in our properties, while exploring other options to grow our business,” concluded Mr. Baker.
Great Canadian will host a conference call for investors and analysts tomorrow, August 14, 2018, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time in order to review the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

|
(2) |
In calculating Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, “share of profit of equity investment” does not include the loss of $0.5 and $1.1, respectively, relating to the Company’s share of OGWGLP’s transition costs incurred for the West GTA Gaming Bundle prior to the acquisition on May 1, 2018, in which OGWGLP was accounted for as an equity method investee. The loss of $0.5 and $1.1 has been classified under “business acquisition, restructuring and other” instead. |

The forward-looking information in documents incorporated by reference speaks only as of the date of those documents. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct.

The Company has included non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“non-IFRS”) measures in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, means earnings before interest and financing costs (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, impairment reversal of long-lived assets, business acquisition, restructuring and other, and foreign exchange (gain) loss and other. Adjusted EBITDA is derived from the consolidated statements of earnings and other comprehensive income, and can be computed as revenues plus share of profit of operating equity investees less human resources expenses, and property, marketing and administration expenses. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it provides information to management about the operating and financial performance of the Company and its ability to generate operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, service outstanding debt, and fund future capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by investors and analysts for the purpose of valuing the Company. Items of note may vary from time to time and in this press release include pre-opening costs, restructuring severance costs, impairment reversal of long-lived assets, facility development commission revenues previously deferred at Casino Nanaimo, other and the related income taxes thereon.
Readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS definitions are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be construed to be alternatives to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS or as indicators of performance or liquidity or cash flows. The Company’s method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other entities and accordingly our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities or in other jurisdictions. The Company uses these measures because it believes they provide useful information to both management and investors with respect to the operating and financial performance of the Company.

Everything comes back around in popularity or at least that is what they say. It has happened with vinyl records and now the same is occurring with retro video games. Yes, classic video games have become popular as children of the 1980s and 1990s have grown older and moved into the workforce. But classic games haven’t just become popular to play. People are spending large sums of money on classic games from 20 and 30 years ago and owners who sell the games are making tidy sums. Gamers looking for classic games online can find free casino slot games inspired by retro video games.
Why are classic games popular again?
Classic video games are becoming popular as many older gamers look for a nostalgia factor. Playing games from their childhood brings back memories of yesteryear. Old Nintendo games are a link to the past for many gamers and it is something they don’t want to lose. Nintendo announced in August that it would release a back catalogue of classic games for a new platform. The move will capitalise on the growing number of people looking for older games rather than newer ones. Many older games have inspired online slots which has driven their popularity sky-high.
In addition to personal reasons, today’s mega-blockbuster video games are seen as too violent by many. While video games of the past were an escape from reality, modern games are based – at least loosely – on the problems of the world. From first person shooters to Grand Theft Auto, many older gamers want to play games that don’t reflect reality.
How much are rare video games worth?
A recent study of rare and nostalgic video games from the last 30 years has found a number of old games selling for large sums of money. According to one source, a copy of Nintendo’s Campus Challenge 1991 sells for around $22,000. Amazingly, the now rare game cost just $30 back in 1991. Gamers who had a copy could cash-in on Campus Challenge if they are able to find it. Other rare games selling for big money include the 1988 Sega Megadrive edition of Tetris and Atari’s Air Raid from 1982.
Ultimate 11 is another that is high on the rare games list. According to reports, only 10 copies exist and each goes for $10,000. Kizuna Encounter had only 15 English versions created and is reportedly worth $13,000. One video game collector paid $55,000 for a copy of both games in 2009.
…And then there’s E.T.
In 1982, Atari rushed E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial video game into the marketplace. Atari gave E.T.’s creator just five and a half weeks to develop the game. The company wanted it out in time for Christmas and to reap the rewards of the holiday season. The rushed game was awful and gamers hated it. It barely sold and Atari had warehouses chocked full of E.T. games it couldn’t sell. Unable to move the games and with Atari becoming obsolete by the mid-1980s, the company buried hundreds of thousands of copies of E.T. and other games in the New Mexico desert. Some have been dug up and rare copies of the game have sold for $1,535 at auction. The excavators of the long-lost cartridges found 900 E.T. games in total. After selling them on eBay, the group made $108,000.
Keen to use the technical know-how of SoftSwiss, combined with their profound experience and insightful knowledge of igaming, the team behind the brand is poised to give it their all to entertain players using the best that technology can offer.
