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 September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 Income/(loss) from operations and Income/(loss) from continuing operations to Last Twelve Months (LTM) Adjusted EBITDA are attached to this release.
The company's 2009 third-quarter results declined due primarily to the impact of the recession on customers' discretionary spending. Revenues fell to $2.28 billion from $2.65 billion in the 2008 third quarter. The loss from operations was $1.05 billion, compared with income from operations of $349.6 million in the 2008 third quarter. Included in the third quarter 2009 loss from operations was a charge of $1.33 billion for impairments of goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets. Excluding the impairment charges, income from operations would have been $278.4 million, compared with income from operations of $349.6 million in the 2008 third quarter. The loss from continuing operations, net of tax, for the 2009 third quarter was $1.62 billion, compared with a loss of $123.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues for the first nine months of 2009 declined 13.3 percent to $6.81 billion from $7.85 billion in the first nine months of 2008. The loss from operations was $758.5 million in the 2009 first nine months, compared with income from operations of $1.07 billion in the prior-year period. Income from continuing operations, net of tax, for the first nine months of 2009 was $548.4 million, compared with a net loss of $495.8 million in the first nine months of 2008. Income from continuing operations, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, includes i) an impairment charge for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets totaling $1.63 billion ($1.56 billion net of taxes); and ii) a pre-tax gain of $4.28 billion ($2.59 billion net of taxes) related to the early extinguishment of debt, primarily in the 2009 second quarter.
During the 2009 third quarter, Harrah's wholly owned subsidiary Harrah's Operating Company, Inc. (HOC) issued $720 million aggregate principal amount of senior-secured notes due 2017, with net proceeds used to repay a portion of Harrah's existing term-loan and revolving-credit indebtedness under HOC's senior-secured credit facilities.
During the 2009 third quarter, HOC also announced both a cash tender offer for up to $160 million of its outstanding senior notes maturing in 2010 and 2011 and the placement of a new $1.0 billion term loan tranche for its credit facilities. The tender offer expired on October 21, 2009, and approximately $45 million of notes were tendered. The term loan was drawn on October 15, 2009, with the proceeds used to repay most of Harrah's revolving-credit indebtedness under HOC's senior-secured credit facilities and to provide additional liquidity.
"During the third quarter, we continued our focus on aligning expenses with revenues and addressing our capital structure to cope with the protracted economic slump," said Gary Loveman, Harrah's chairman, president and chief executive officer.
"We conducted another round of financing activities to shore up our balance sheet and enhance our financial flexibility, which has enabled us to take advantage of some exciting growth opportunities," Loveman said. "We increased our ownership of Harrah's Chester to approximately 95 percent and announced an agreement to purchase the Thistledown racetrack in Cleveland.
"In addition, we agreed to a seven-year contract extension with ESPN to televise the World Series of Poker," Loveman said. "We're looking forward to ESPN's telecast of the November 9, 2009 WSOP Main Event finale, when nine players will split more than $27 million in prize money, including a first-place prize of $8.5 million.
"The third quarter was challenging from an operations standpoint, as lower spending by consumers affected by the global recession continued to impact revenues," Loveman said.
"After 38 years of great accomplishment, Eastern Division President Carlos Tolosa will retire from Harrah's Entertainment at the end of the year, concluding one of the longest and most distinguished careers in the history of our company," Loveman said. "Carlos' retirement will complete an 11-year professional collaboration with me during which he earned my admiration, gratitude and unyielding respect for him as a friend and colleague. On behalf of all of the Harrah's employees, I thank him sincerely and wish him well."
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 more than 90 percent, third-quarter and year-to-date revenues declined in the Las Vegas Region from the 2008 periods due to lower spend per visitor and weakness in the group-travel business, which led to lower average daily room rates. The 2009 third-quarter and year-to-date income from operations declined compared with respective 2008 results due to lower visitor spend, as well as impairment charges of $875.8 million and $255.1 million recorded in the third quarter and second quarter 2009, respectively, related to impairment of goodwill for certain of the Las Vegas strip properties.

Competition from gaming operations in Pennsylvania and the weak economy led to reduced visitation and customer spend per trip that unfavorably impacted Atlantic City Region results during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Included in third-quarter 2009 income from operations was a $178.7 million charge for impairment of goodwill of certain Atlantic City properties.

The 2008 first nine months were also impacted by construction disruptions related to the re-branding and remodeling of Harrah's Tunica. Also included in income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were insurance proceeds of $185.4 million representing final settlement of claims related to 2005 hurricane damages.

Despite a strong performance at the expanded Horseshoe Hammond, third-quarter revenues and Property EBITDA declined from the 2008 third quarter due to effects of the weak economy. Income from operations for the 2009 third-quarter was lower than in 2008 due to a $180.7 million charge for impairments of goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets at certain of the region's properties. Year-to-date 2009 revenues and Property EBITDA improved from the 2008 results as a result of the expansion at Horseshoe Hammond and the benefits of cost reductions at other properties.

Managed/International/Other
Revenues declined in the 2009 third quarter and year-to-date, largely as result of adverse movements in exchange rates. Improved Property EBITDA for the 2009 third quarter and year to date was due largely to increased revenues at the company's London Clubs International properties and improved cost management at all of the company's international and managed properties. In the second and third quarters of 2009, the company recognized impairments of $42.0 million and $87.5 million, respectively, of certain non-amortizing intangible assets that contributed to the losses from operations.

Other items
During the third quarter 2009, we recorded a total charge of $1.33 billion for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, the majority of which related to properties in the Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Illinois/Indiana regions. Total impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets were $1.63 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Interest expense decreased in the 2009 third-quarter and year-to-date periods compared with 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 exchange offers and open-market purchases during the second quarter, pre-tax gains of $4.3 billion on early extinguishment of debt were recognized and are included in the year-to-date results.
For the 2009 third quarter, the Company recorded a tax provision of $128.9 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $1.492 billion, compared to a tax benefit of $46.0 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $169.2 million in the comparable period of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized a tax provision of $1.591 billion on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $2.139 billion, which equates to an effective tax rate of 74.4%. The primary difference between the Company's year-to date recorded provision and the provision that would have resulted from applying the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% to the Company's pre-tax income from continuing operations is primarily attributable to non-deductible impairments of goodwill and adjustments to uncertain tax positions.

(a) Property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization) consists of loss from operations before depreciation and
amortization, write-downs, reserves and recoveries, project opening
costs, corporate expense, merger 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.
