– Construction Continues at Chamonix Casino Hotel, with an Opening Expected in the Second Half of 2023
– Executed New Sports Skin Agreement in Colorado

LAS VEGAS, March 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, including updates regarding its growth pipeline.
“On February 17th, The Temporary by American Place officially opened to the public,” said Daniel R. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts. “We are very pleased with the positive response received from guests thus far, with many commenting that The Temporary is one of the nicest casinos in the area, despite being in a temporary structure. In its first twelve days of operation, we welcomed more than 40,000 guests through its doors.
“Typical of many new casinos, we opened at less than full capacity. On opening night, for example, only approximately 80% of our slot floor and 60% of our permitted table games were available. Over the coming weeks, we expect to further augment the number of available games on our floor and increase the hours of operation for our table games, which currently operate from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. As our team gains more experience, we also expect to operate the casino 24 hours per day, versus our current schedule of 8 a.m. to 4 a.m.
“We are currently operating only one of our restaurants, L’Américain. We expect to open our Asia-Azteca fusion restaurant in the next few weeks. A third restaurant, North Shore Steaks and Seafood, is expected to be completed and open in the second quarter. Given the early response to The Temporary, we remain confident in our ability to generate attractive returns from both The Temporary and our future American Place destination.”
Continued Mr. Lee, “At our Chamonix project in Cripple Creek, Colorado, we continue to make substantial progress. Drywall is being installed in guest rooms and the public areas. We recently installed the escalators from the entry level up to the second-floor meeting space, and are preparing for the installation of elevators. We continue to target an opening of Chamonix later this year, potentially with a phased opening beginning in the third quarter of 2023.”

On a consolidated basis, revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $36.1 million, a decrease from $43.3 million in the prior-year period. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $7.0 million, or a loss of $0.20 per diluted common share, which includes $4.8 million of preopening and development costs. In the prior-year period, net income was $5.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, including $0.3 million of development costs. Adjusted EBITDA(a) in the 2022 fourth quarter, which is a seasonally slow quarter, was $3.9 million versus $7.9 million in the prior-year period. The change reflects adverse weather in December 2022; construction disruptions at Bronco Billy’s; the launch of competing online sports wagering in Louisiana; and increases in certain expenses, notably for property insurance and food costs.
For the full year, revenues were $163.3 million, net loss was $14.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was $32.1 million in 2022. In 2021, which benefited from guests receiving government stimulus checks, revenues were $180.2 million, net income was $11.7 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was $47.2 million.
Fourth Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Events
- Mississippi. Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel’s revenues were $18.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, versus $22.5 million in the prior-year period. Results in the fourth quarter of 2022 were adversely affected by the competitive launch of online sports wagering within nearby Louisiana that started in January 2022, colder than normal temperatures, and significant marketing promotions at a nearby competitor. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $4.0 million, reflecting the revenue declines noted above, as well as an increase in certain operating expenses, including an increase of $0.2 million for property insurance. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $6.7 million in the prior-year period.
Similar factors affected Silver Slipper’s annual results. Revenues declined from $90.6 million in 2021 to $80.9 million in 2022, primarily as a result of the absence of government stimulus checks in 2022 and new competition from online sports betting in Louisiana. The cost of property insurance and certain food items also increased significantly. As a result, Adjusted Segment EBITDA in 2022 was $19.5 million, versus $29.8 million in 2021. Despite being down from the prior year, the Silver Slipper’s revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA in 2022 were the second highest in its 16-year history.
- Indiana. Rising Star Casino Resort’s revenues were $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. As with the Company’s other casinos, significant snowstorms adversely affected Rising Star, especially in December 2022. Additionally, a competitor in nearby Northern Kentucky with “historical racing machines” (which are a form of slot machine) opened in September 2022. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, versus $1.1 million in the prior-year period.
For the year, revenues in the Indiana segment fell 5.7%, due to the absence of government stimulus checks and a new competitor that opened in September 2022 in nearby Northern Kentucky. Operating expenses declined, helping to offset the decline in revenues. Adjusted Segment EBITDA for 2022 was $6.9 million, versus $8.7 million in 2021. Even at that reduced level, Rising Star’s Adjusted Segment EBITDA in 2022 was its second best overall in ten years.
- Colorado. This segment includes Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel and, upon its opening, Chamonix Casino Hotel. The Colorado gaming market, including Cripple Creek, has shown significant growth since betting limits were eliminated in May 2021. Bronco Billy’s, however, has incurred significant construction disruption, including temporarily-reduced gaming and restaurant capacity and the temporary absence of all on-site hotel rooms and on-site self-parking. To alleviate the lack of on-site parking, Bronco Billy’s currently offers complimentary valet parking and a free shuttle service to an off-site parking lot.
Prior to the pandemic and commencement of construction, Bronco Billy’s had 827 slot machines and 10 table games. Approximately 41% of its pre-existing gaming space was closed in November 2021 to facilitate construction of Chamonix. Then, in May 2022, additional gaming capacity was closed, as well as the property’s steakhouse, for refurbishment. The refurbished portion of the casino reopened in late December, though the property continues to operate today with approximately half the gaming positions than it had prior to the pandemic. The steakhouse is being recast as an Italian restaurant and is expected to open in the third quarter. Hence, during virtually all of the fourth quarter and a significant portion of the year, Bronco Billy’s was operating with approximately 45% of the gaming space that it had prior to the pandemic and commencement of construction, as well as significantly fewer food and beverage options. The casino has meanwhile maintained much of its payroll, despite reduced activity levels, anticipating the need for the larger workforce required to open and operate Chamonix. Partially offsetting this, some expenses, such as the cost of food and beverages, vary with activity levels. Revenues were $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, versus $5.0 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted Segment EBITDA in this off-season quarter reflected a small loss, versus a small profit in the prior year period.
Construction likewise affected results for the year. Revenues in 2022 were $16.2 million, versus $23.7 million in 2021. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was a loss of $688,000 for 2022, versus positive Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $5.5 million in 2021. When Chamonix opens later this year, Bronco Billy’s will share the significant on-site parking garage, valet and surface parking capacity of the new casino. It will also benefit from Chamonix’s adjoining 300-guestroom hotel.
- Nevada. This segment consists of the Grand Lodge Casino, which is located within the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe luxury resort in Incline Village, and Stockman’s Casino, which is located in Fallon, Nevada. Revenues were $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $4.3 million in the prior-year period. Results in the fourth quarter of 2022 reflect a significant snowstorm in the Lake Tahoe area, with snowfall lasting until late on the important New Year’s Eve holiday. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compares to $0.8 million in the prior-year period.
For the year, the Nevada segment’s revenues rose 7.7% over the prior year, despite the absence of government stimulus checks. This largely reflected the recovery of tourism to the Lake Tahoe region. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was approximately flat at $4.9 million in both years.
In February 2023, the Company extended the expiration of its agreement to lease the Grand Lodge Casino from August 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024, after which time portions of the Hyatt Lake Tahoe are expected to undergo enhancement work.
- Contracted Sports Wagering. This segment consists of the Company’s on-site and online sports wagering “skins” (akin to websites) in Colorado, Indiana and, upon launch, Illinois. Revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were both $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, versus $1.8 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect two agreements that ceased operations in May 2022, when one of the Company’s contracted parties ended its online operations. In December 2022, the Company executed an agreement with a replacement operator for its available Colorado sports skin, which began its contractual term this week. The Company continues to evaluate the best use for its available skin in Indiana, including whether to utilize such skin itself or find a replacement third-party operator.
For the year, this segment’s revenues grew 21.6%, from $5.9 million in 2021 to $7.2 million in 2022, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA rose 21.0%, from $5.9 million to $7.1 million. The increase reflects an additional skin that contractually went live on December 1, 2021, as well as an acceleration of deferred revenue for two agreements that ceased operations in May 2022, as noted above.
The results of this segment do not yet include income contribution from the Company’s Illinois sports skin or the recently-executed agreement for its Colorado sports skin. Similar to the Company’s other sports wagering agreements, the Company will receive a percentage of revenues, as defined in the contracts, with minimal expected expenses. The total annualized minimum amount for all six of the Company’s sports wagering agreements will be $10 million once these two additional skins are live. The new Colorado sports skin began its contractual term in March 2023, and the Company believes that its Illinois sports skin will begin operations in Spring 2023, pending customary regulatory approvals.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $191.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $134.6 million of cash reserved under its bond indentures to complete the construction of Chamonix. Its debt consisted primarily of $410.0 million in outstanding senior secured notes due 2028, which become callable at specified premiums beginning in February 2024. In February 2023, the Company further augmented its available liquidity through the issuance of $40.0 million of additional senior secured notes due 2028, which are likewise callable beginning in February 2024. Prior to the February 2023 issuance of additional notes – and in anticipation of the payment of significant gaming license fees related to The Temporary’s opening – the Company drew $36.0 million from its revolver, which currently remains outstanding.
Conference Call Information
The Company will host a conference call for investors today, March 7, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) to discuss its 2022 fourth quarter results.

(a) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company utilizes Adjusted Segment EBITDA, a financial measure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as the measure of segment profitability in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each segment. The Company also utilizes Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which is defined as Adjusted Segment EBITDA net of corporate-related costs and expenses.
Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity. The Company utilizes this metric or measure internally to focus management on year-over-year changes in core operating performance, which it considers its ordinary, ongoing and customary operations and which it believes is useful information to investors. Accordingly, management excludes certain items when analyzing core operating performance, such as the items mentioned above, that management believes are not reflective of ordinary, ongoing and customary operations.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is presented below. However, you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure for determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Chamonix, Colorado’s Newest and Most Luxurious Casino Hotel, Opens at Noon on Wednesday, December 27, 2023
Located in charming Cripple Creek, Chamonix is conveniently located less than an hour from Colorado Springs and approximately two hours from Denver
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Dec. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) today announced the opening details for its newest gaming destination – Chamonix Casino Hotel. Chamonix’s stylish new casino and luxurious 300-guestroom hotel effortlessly blend Colorado comfort with classic European elegance. It is located in historic Cripple Creek, approximately 45 miles from Colorado Springs and 80 miles from Denver’s southern suburbs. Chamonix is adjacent to – and integrated with – Bronco Billy’s Casino, also owned by Full House Resorts.
Chamonix features an elegant casino floor, with a wide variety of the newest slot machines, a high-limit slot salon, and the state’s most elegant table games area. Many of Chamonix’s hotel guestrooms and suites offer balconies and sweeping views of Cripple Creek, Pikes Peak and the spectacular Sangre de Cristo mountains.
On Wednesday at noon, Chamonix will open its entire casino, a portion of its 300-guestroom hotel, and its convenient valet, garage and surface parking. It will operate a temporary restaurant (Chamonix Bistro) and buffet in its elegant meeting room area. Within a week, the Company expects to open the balance of its guestrooms. In approximately one month, Chamonix plans to open its high-end 980 Prime restaurant, featuring the cuisine and supervision of Las Vegas celebrity chef Barry Dakake. Shortly thereafter, Chamonix will unveil Ore and Alloy, its freestanding jewelry and luxury retail store, and its opulent Chamonix Spa. The spa features a rooftop pool and deck; winter garden; large workout room with modern exercise equipment; eight massage rooms; and an assortment of saunas, steam rooms and other amenities. The spa also offers a full-service salon with hairdressers, barbers, and manicure and pedicure capabilities. In the spring, the adjoining Bronco Billy’s Casino will introduce its new Italian restaurant, Firenze.
Chamonix is named after the “Queen of Alpine” resorts in France, located at the foot of Mont Blanc and site of the first Winter Olympics in 1924. The name is particularly appropriate, as Colorado Springs is home to the U.S. Olympic Committee and Training Center. Our Chamonix destination in Colorado will add to the region’s century of high-end hospitality, which includes the world’s longest-running Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond resort.
“Chamonix is a special place, unlike any other casino hotel in the state. It offers a high-end, Las Vegas experience in our beautiful Colorado mountain setting,” said Baxter Lee, General Manager of Chamonix Casino Hotel. “We are overjoyed to open Chamonix’s doors on December 27 and to welcome our friends from Colorado and beyond.”

Full House Resorts Announces Second Quarter Results
– Revenues Increased 33.8% to $59.4 Million
– The Temporary by American Place Completes Its First Full Quarter of Operations;
Illinois Sportsbook Expected to Commence Operations Shortly
– Opening of Chamonix Casino Hotel in Colorado Slated for December 26, 2023
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, including updates regarding its growth pipeline.
“The Temporary by American Place completed its first full quarter of operations, recording $20.3 million in revenue and $4.1 million in Adjusted Property EBITDA,” said Daniel R. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts. “The trends at The Temporary are similar to those of many other successful casinos. The number of visitors surged at opening in mid-February and then, after a short lull, has grown steadily since April. Meanwhile, its win per admission, while still less than more-established casinos in Illinois, has grown steadily since opening, as regular players replace people who were more tourists than gamblers. Note that in July, our fifth full month of operations, the property’s reported gaming revenues ranked sixth out of the 13 casinos in operation in Illinois. Our expenses relative to revenues have been higher than we expect them to be at ‘maturity,’ reflecting primarily our costs to train new personnel, especially dealers, and additional advertising and marketing costs. We currently have 48 table games on the casino floor, of our planned 50 tables. Due to staffing challenges, however, we are currently operating only approximately 30 of those tables on a typical weekend evening. The shortage of dealers also affects the number of tables that we operate in non-peak periods. We continue to operate our own dealer school, where potential dealers are paid during their several weeks of training, which affects margins and profitability, but is necessary to reach the property’s potential. Our marketing expenses are also expected to gradually become more efficient over time, as we build a database and achieve broader brand recognition.
“The Temporary initially opened to the public on February 17, 2023, just 14 months after we were selected by the Illinois Gaming Board to develop the Waukegan opportunity. It opened with limited food service, limited hours of operation, and low table game limits. We currently operate two restaurants on most days, one in the evenings and the other for lunch. The property’s high-end restaurant, North Shore Steaks and Seafood, is expected to open later this year. Our casino is now open 24 hours per day on weekends and from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. during the week. As of May 13, we have been able to set our own table game betting limits, which are now up to $5,000 per hand. Table limits may increase further as our casino staff gains greater experience. As noted, we continue to hire and train dealers, which will allow us to operate more table games during busy periods. Our on-site sportsbook, which will be operated in partnership with Circa Sports, is expected to open shortly. Circa Sports is also expected to begin online sports betting in Illinois soon, with the first payment under our agreement due in mid-August.”
Continued Mr. Lee, “At our Chamonix project in Cripple Creek, Colorado, meaningful construction continues, with exteriors now largely complete. Within the main hotel tower, our contractor is completing guest rooms and we anticipate beginning the installation of furniture shortly. The extensive millwork in the casino and high-end restaurant is also underway. We expect to begin taking hotel reservations for Chamonix at www.ChamonixCO.com shortly. We look forward to welcoming guests to our Chamonix Casino Hotel on December 26, 2023. It will be the first luxury casino hotel in the Colorado Springs area, and we believe it will be one of the best casino hotels in the entire Midwest.”
On a consolidated basis, revenues in the second quarter of 2023 were $59.4 million, a 33.8% increase from $44.4 million in the prior-year period. Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $5.6 million, or $(0.16) per diluted common share, which includes $1.1 million of preopening and development costs, primarily related to our Chamonix construction project, and significant depreciation and amortization charges related to The Temporary. In the prior-year period, net loss was $4.4 million, or $(0.13) per diluted common share, reflecting $1.6 million of preopening and development costs, Rising Star’s sale of “free play” (which also occurred during 2023, though in the first quarter instead of the second quarter), and the acceleration of deferred revenue for two sports wagering agreements that ceased operations in May 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(a) was $10.5 million in the 2023 second quarter, versus $12.1 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the items mentioned above, plus elevated marketing, training expenses, and other ramp-up costs for the newly-opened Temporary.

Second Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Events
- Midwest & South. This segment includes Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel, Rising Star Casino Resort, and The Temporary by American Place. Revenues for the segment were $49.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, a 51.5% increase from $32.9 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted Segment EBITDA rose to $9.4 million, a 2.6% increase from $9.1 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect the February 17, 2023 opening of The Temporary, our newest casino located in Waukegan, Illinois. In the second quarter of 2023, The Temporary generated $20.3 million of revenue and $4.1 million of Adjusted Property EBITDA. We expect The Temporary’s results to increase in the coming quarters, as the property’s database continues to expand and marketing, labor and other early costs normalize. Additionally, results for the prior-year’s second quarter include Rising Star’s sale of “free play,” which resulted in $2.1 million of revenue and income. Rising Star also sold its “free play” for $2.1 million during 2023, though in the first quarter instead of the second quarter.
Excluding results from The Temporary, same-store revenues declined to $29.6 million from $32.9 million, largely due to the sale of “free play” at Rising Star, as noted above. Same-store Adjusted Segment EBITDA declined to $5.3 million from $9.1 million, due largely to the “free play” sale and increases in labor expenses and insurance costs at Silver Slipper.
- West. This segment includes Grand Lodge Casino (located within the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe resort in Incline Village), Stockman’s Casino, Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel and, upon its expected opening in December 2023, will include Chamonix Casino Hotel. Revenues for the segment were $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus $9.3 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $0.2 million versus $1.7 million. Results in both periods reflect the temporary loss of all on-site parking and on-site hotel rooms at Bronco Billy’s to accommodate the construction of neighboring Chamonix. Additionally, the current period reflects heavy winter snowfall in the Lake Tahoe region, which delayed the return of seasonal residents to Incline Village.
- Contracted Sports Wagering. This segment consists of our on-site and online sports wagering “skins” (akin to websites) in Colorado, Indiana and, upon launch, Illinois. Revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were both $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, reflecting all three of our permitted skins now contractually live in Colorado and two of our three skins live in Indiana. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were both $2.2 million in the prior-year period, reflecting an acceleration of deferred revenue for two agreements that ceased operations in May 2022, when one of our contracted parties ended its online operations.
The results of this segment do not yet include income contribution from our Illinois sports skin. For this sports skin, we will receive a percentage of revenues, as defined in the contract, subject to a minimum amount of $5 million per year. Under the agreement, we begin to receive revenue payments for our Illinois sports skin in August 2023, irrespective of whether online sports wagering operations have begun. The total annualized minimum amount for all six of our current sports wagering agreements will be $10 million once this Illinois skin is live.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, we had $113.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $78.1 million of cash reserved under our bond indentures to complete the construction of Chamonix. Our debt consisted primarily of $450.0 million in outstanding senior secured notes due 2028, which become callable at specified premiums beginning in February 2024, and $27.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
Conference Call Information
We will host a conference call for investors today, August 8, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) to discuss our 2023 second quarter results. Investors can access the live audio webcast from our website at www.fullhouseresorts.com under the investor relations section. The conference call can also be accessed by dialing (201) 689-8470.
A replay of the conference call will be available shortly after the conclusion of the call through August 22, 2023. To access the replay, please visit www.fullhouseresorts.com. Investors can also access the replay by dialing (412) 317-6671 and using the passcode 13739434.
(a) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our presentation of non-GAAP Measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. While excluded from certain non-GAAP Measures, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, our non-GAAP Measures do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes, and other items both in our reconciliations to the historical GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.
Our non-GAAP Measures are to be used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP Measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP, nor should these measures be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP Measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding historical GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We utilize Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the measure of segment profitability in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each segment.
Same-store Adjusted Segment EBITDA. Same-store Adjusted Segment EBITDA is Adjusted Segment EBITDA further adjusted to exclude the Adjusted Property EBITDA of properties that have not been in operation for a full year. Adjusted Property EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each property.
Adjusted EBITDA. We also utilize Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as Adjusted Segment EBITDA, net of corporate-related costs and expenses. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity. We utilize this metric or measure internally to focus management on year-over-year changes in core operating performance, which we consider our ordinary, ongoing and customary operations, and which we believe is useful information to investors. Accordingly, management excludes certain items when analyzing core operating performance, such as the items mentioned above, that management believes are not reflective of ordinary, ongoing and customary operations.

Additional information concerning potential factors that could affect our financial condition and results of operations is included in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Part II, Item 7.
