BOYD GAMING REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS

LAS VEGAS - APRIL 24, 2013 - Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Boyd Gaming reported net revenues of $737.0 million, an increase of 16.4% from $633.1 million during the same quarter in 2012. Total Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 22.2% to $163.5 million, compared to $133.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Results reflect the addition of the operations of Peninsula Gaming, LLC, acquired by the Company on November 20, 2012.

Boyd Gaming's wholly-owned business reported first-quarter 2013 net revenues of $569.9 million, up 25.1% from $455.5 million in the year-ago period. Wholly-owned Adjusted EBITDA was $135.1 million, an increase of 42.3% from $94.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. Borgata, the Company's 50% joint venture, reported first-quarter 2013 net revenues of $165.6 million, compared to $176.2 million in the year-ago period, while Adjusted EBITDA was $28.4 million, down from $38.9 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Adjusted Earnings(1) for the first quarter 2013 were $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share, compared $8.4 million, or $0.10 per share, for the same period in 2012. The calculations of Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per share are presented in a table at the end of this press release.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $7.3 million, or $0.08 per share, for the first quarter 2013, compared to net income of $5.9 million, or $0.07 per share, for the year-ago period.





“We saw positive momentum across our operations in March, driving first-quarter results that were ahead of our previous expectations. We were particularly encouraged by improvements in our Las Vegas Locals business, as we were able to generate EBITDA growth for the first time in more than a year,” said Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming. “As we look forward, we are excited by the potential of our online gaming strategy. New Jersey and Nevada are now laying the regulatory groundwork for online gaming, and other states are considering legalization as well. This emerging business provides a compelling opportunity to significantly grow and diversify our business, and we intend to take full advantage of it.”

Key Operations Review

Las Vegas Locals
In the Las Vegas Locals segment, first-quarter 2013 net revenues were $152.8 million compared to $154.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. First-quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA was $39.2 million, up from $38.5 million in the year-ago period. Our new slot initiatives and associated marketing programs continued to perform well during the quarter, while EBITDA benefited from improved operating margins.

Downtown
The Downtown Las Vegas region reported net revenues of $54.1 million for the first quarter of 2013, down from $57.0 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.1 million, compared to $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2012. Declines were the result of softness in business volumes early in the quarter.

Midwest and South
In the Midwest and South region, net revenues were $229.1 million, compared to $243.7 million in the first quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA was $49.7 million versus $58.1 million in the year-ago period. Winter weather impacted business levels early in the quarter. However, trends began to improve across the region in March.

Peninsula
During our first full quarter of ownership, the five Peninsula Gaming properties contributed net revenues of $133.9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $50.7 million. The Peninsula properties performed in line




with our expectations, including the Kansas Star, which opened a permanent casino and five new food and beverage outlets in late December.

Borgata
Borgata, the Company's 50% joint venture, reported first-quarter 2013 net revenues of $165.6 million, compared to $176.2 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA was $28.4 million, down from $38.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. Borgata significantly outperformed the Atlantic City market in slot, table game and poker revenue, further increasing its leading market share as the region continued to recover from the impact of Superstorm Sandy.

(1) Borgata's financial results include the impact of certain valuation adjustments made upon consolidation. These valuation adjustments are not pushed down to Borgata and are therefore not reflected in Borgata's standalone financial statements.
(2) Boyd Gaming's contractual agreements with LVE were terminated on March 4, 2013, in connection with the sale of the Echelon development site. As a result, Boyd Gaming ceased consolidation of LVE as of that date. The financial results presented for LVE include only that portion of the period that the variable interest entity was consolidated by Boyd Gaming.

___________________________________

(1)
Peninsula Gaming, LLC ("PGL") was acquired by Boyd Gaming on November 20, 2012. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), PGL's post acquisition financial results have been prepared on Boyd Gaming's ("Successor") basis of accounting and reflect adjustments resulting from the application of the acquisition method. Financial information for the prior year period has been prepared on PGL's ("Predecessor") basis of accounting. Consequently, the financial statements for the Successor and Predecessor periods are presented on different bases.
(2)
Certain amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform with the Successor presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on income from operations or net income as previously reported by the Predecessor.
(3)
The Predecessor was structured as a limited liability company and the members were taxed on their proportionate share of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was included in the financial statements of the Predecessor.





Footnotes and Safe Harbor Statements
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Regulation G, "Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," prescribes the conditions for use of non-GAAP financial information in public disclosures. We believe that our presentations of the following non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance to investors: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS). The following discussion defines these terms and why we believe they are useful measures of our performance.


EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of our core operating results and as a means to evaluate period-to-period results. We refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of core on-going operations. We have historically reported this measure to our investors and believe that the continued inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency in our financial reporting. We use Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because we believe it is useful to investors in allowing greater transparency related to a significant measure used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making. Adjusted EBITDA is among the more significant factors in management's internal evaluation of total company and individual property performance and in the evaluation of incentive compensation related to property management. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in the evaluation of potential acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by management in the annual budget process. Externally, we believe these measures continue to be used by investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of our company. Adjusted EBITDA reflects EBITDA adjusted for deferred rent, preopening expenses, share-based compensation expense, impairments of assets and other operating charges, net, and our share of Borgata's non-operating expenses, preopening expenses and other items and write-downs, net. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA includes corporate expense. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), based upon GAAP, is included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted Earnings is net income (loss) before preopening expenses, asset transactions costs, net gains on insurance settlements, impairments of assets, adjustments to property tax accruals, write-downs and other charges, net, accelerated amortization of deferred loan fees, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, gain on early retirements of debt, other non-recurring adjustments, net, valuation adjustments related to the consolidation of Borgata, and our share of Borgata's preopening expenses and other items and write-downs, net. Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are presented solely as supplemental disclosures because management believes that they are widely used measures of performance in the gaming industry. A reconciliation of net income (loss) based upon GAAP to Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

Limitations on the Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS or certain other non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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, capital expenditures and other items both in our reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial 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. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS and certain other non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding 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.
