Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise Announces Third-Quarter Results.


Business Editors

CHOCTAW Choctaw (chŏk`tô), Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Muskogean branch of the Hokan-Siouan linguistic stock (see Native American languages).  RESERVATION A clause in a deed of real property whereby the grantor, one who transfers property, creates and retains for the grantor some right or interest in the estate granted, such as rent or an Easement ,a right of use over the land of another. , Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2001

The Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise today announced revenues and results from its third quarter, closing as of June June: see month.  30, 2001.

Net revenues for the quarter were $57.7 million compared with $60.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The $2.5 million, or 4.2 percent, decrease in net revenues was primarily due to a decrease in gaming revenues. Net revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2001, were $177.6 million compared with $183.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2000. The $5.9 million, or 3.2 percent, decrease in net revenues was primarily due to a decrease in gaming revenues. Complementary revenues are included in gross revenues but are deducted de·duct

 and restaurants, along with the related clean up, led to a significant decrease in overall casino traffic during these periods. Additionally, the clean up and restoration process continued to significantly affect casino revenue for several weeks. Revenues for the month of April 2001 were significantly lower than those of April 2000 due to the effect of the flooding and related clean up.

"The flooding we experienced in April adversely impacted the casino's operations, but overall we believe the Enterprise's ongoing business remains sound and profitable," said Jay Dorris Dorris may refer to:

  • Dorris Motors Corporation
  • Michael Dorris
, president of the Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise. "With the recent successful conclusion of our $200 million note offering, we now have all of the financial tools in place to complete construction of the Golden Moon and improve the Silver Star, thereby remaining competitive in the gaming industry."

The company will file its Quarterly Report for its second quarter ended June 30, 2001, on or about Aug. 15, 2001.

 for the quarter was $27.2 million compared with $30.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of $3.7 million. The decrease for the quarter was primarily due to the revenue variations discussed above and to expense variations. Operating income was $85.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001, compared with operating income of $10 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $75.9 million. The increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2001, was due to the elimination of the management fee paid to Boyd Boyd may refer to any of the following: People

Cash provided by financing activities was $83.7 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2001, compared with $5.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2000. The primary use of cash in each period was distributions to the Tribe tribe [Lat., tribus: the tripartite division of Romans into Latins, Sabines, and Etruscans], a social group bound by common ancestry and ties of consanguinity and affinity; a common language and territory; and characterized by a political and economic  of $70.6 million and $60.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The primary source of funds provided by financing activities was the $200.0 million note offering during the nine months ended June 30, 2001, and the borrowing under the $75.0 million term loan to buy out the Boyd management contract in the nine months ended June 30, 2000.

Through June 30, 2001, $30.5 million of the budgeted $290.6 million Golden Moon construction has been completed through contributions of cash and property and equipment from the Tribe. We anticipate the remaining $260.1 million of budgeted expenditures to be financed from cash on hand, which includes the balance of the proceeds from the $200.0 million note offering and the $125.0 million revolving credit facility. The Golden Moon is expected to be completed and opened in August 2002.
