NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Boyd Gaming Corporation (and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company," "Boyd Gaming," "we" or "us") was incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1988 and has been operating since 1975. The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BYD."

We are a diversified operator of 21 wholly owned gaming entertainment properties. Headquartered in Las Vegas, we have gaming operations in Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 25, 2016.

The results for the periods indicated are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be achieved during a full year of operations or in future periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boyd Gaming and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which do not meet the consolidation criteria of the authoritative accounting guidance for voting interest, controlling interest or variable interest entities, are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On May 31, 2016, we announced that we had entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell our 50% equity interest in Marina District Development Holding Company, LLC ("MDDHC"), the parent company of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa ("Borgata"), to MGM Resorts International ("MGM"), and the transaction closed on August 1, 2016. (See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures.) We account for our investment in Borgata applying the equity method and report its results as discontinued operations for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revisions and Reclassifications

The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and has been revised to reflect the results of operations and cash flows of our equity investment in Borgata as discontinued operations. (See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures)

Asset transaction costs that were previously disaggregated in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were accumulated with preopening expenses. This reclassification had no effect on our retained earnings or net income as previously reported.

Amortization of debt financing costs and amortization of discounts on debt, which were previously disaggregated in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015, were combined. This reclassification had no effect on our cash provided by operating activities as previously reported.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments, which include cash on hand and in banks, interest-bearing deposits and money market funds with maturities of three months or less at their date of purchase. The instruments are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions. Although these balances may at times exceed the federal insured deposit limit, we believe such risk is mitigated by the quality of the institution holding such deposit. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values as such balances are generally available on demand.

as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Promotional Allowances

The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenues and then deducted as a promotional allowance. Promotional allowances also include incentives earned in our slot bonus program such as cash and the estimated retail value of goods and services (such as complimentary rooms and food and beverages). We reward customers, through the use of bonus programs, with points based on amounts wagered that can be redeemed for a specified period of time for complimentary slot play, food and beverage, and to a lesser extent for other goods or services, depending upon the property.

The amounts included in promotional allowances are as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Rooms	$	18,294	$	19,188	$	37,239	$	37,932

Total promotional allowances	$	57,010	$	59,596	$	117,324	$	119,109

The estimated costs of providing such promotional allowances are as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Rooms	$	7,921	$	8,470	$	16,490	$	17,252

Other	3,000		2,888		5,981		5,675
Total estimated cost of promotional allowances	$	41,763	$	43,755	$	86,584	$	88,876

Gaming Taxes

We are subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which we operate. These gaming taxes are assessed based on our gaming revenues and are recorded as a gaming expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These taxes totaled approximately $81.5 million and $85.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $164.1 million and $168.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Use of the term "more likely than not" indicates the likelihood of occurrence is greater than 50%. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is continually assessed based on a more likely than not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of profitability and taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with the utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before expiration and tax planning strategies.

As of June 30, 2016, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that the benefit from our deferred tax assets would be realized. As a result of our analysis, a valuation allowance of $231.6 million has been recorded on our federal and state income tax net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are evaluated periodically and subject to change in future reporting periods as a result of changes in the factors noted above. Based on recent earnings and the gain on the sale of our membership interest in Borgata, in the third quarter of 2016, it is likely that sufficient positive evidence will become available to reach a conclusion that all or a portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. As such, the Company may release a significant portion of its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2016. However,

as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

the exact timing will be dependent on the levels of income achieved and management's visibility into future period results. The release of our valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a non-cash income tax benefit in the period in which the release is recorded.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we have computed our provision for income taxes by applying the actual effective tax rate, under the discrete method, to year-to-date income. The discrete method was used to calculate income tax expense or benefit as the annual effective tax rate was not considered a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense or benefit. We believe this method provides the most reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense.

Our tax rate is impacted by adjustments that are largely independent of our operating results before taxes. Such adjustments relate primarily to changes in our valuation allowance and the accrual of non-cash tax expense in connection with the tax amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not available to offset existing deferred tax assets. The deferred tax liabilities created by the tax amortization of these intangibles cannot be used to offset corresponding increases in the net operating loss deferred tax assets when determining our valuation allowance.

Other Long Term Tax Liabilities

The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on accounting standards for uncertain income taxes, which prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.

Uncertain tax position accounting standards apply to all tax positions related to income taxes. These accounting standards utilize a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement is only addressed if the position is deemed to be more likely than not to be sustained. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.

Tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first subsequent interim period that they meet the "more likely than not" standard. If it is subsequently determined that a previously recognized tax position no longer meets the "more likely than not" standard, it is required that the tax position is derecognized. Accounting standards for uncertain tax positions specifically prohibit the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions. As applicable, the Company will recognize accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties are included in other long-term tax liabilities on the balance sheet.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses ("Update 2016-13")

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Update 2016-13, which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. Update 2016-13 adds to GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of Update 2016-13 to the financial statements.

as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

In March 2016 through May 2016, the FASB issued Update 2016-08, Update 2016-10, Update 2016-11 and Update 2016-12, which amend and further clarify the new revenue standard, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Update 2014-09"), which was subsequently amended and deferred in Accounting Standards Update 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date ("Update 2015-14", and collectively with the original standard, Update 2014-09, and subsequent amendments, Update 2016-08, Update 2016-10, Update 2016-11 and Update 2016-12, the "Revenue Standard"). The Revenue Standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted only for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of the Revenue Standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation ("Update 2016-09")

In March 2016, the FASB issued Update 2016-09 which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of Update 2016-09 to the financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures ("Update 2016-07")

In March 2016, the FASB issued Update 2016-07 which simplifies the equity method of accounting by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method to an investment that subsequently qualifies for such accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company determined that the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements will not be material.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases ("Update 2016-02")

In February 2016, the FASB issued Update 2016-02 which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of Update 2016-02 to the financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("Update 2016-01")

In January 2016, the FASB issued Update 2016-01, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted only if explicit early adoption guidance is applied. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently being studied by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions

On April 21, 2016, Boyd Gaming announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ALST Casino Holdco, LLC (“ALST”), the holding company of Aliante Gaming, LLC (“Aliante”), the owner and operator of the Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa, an upscale, resort-style casino and hotel situated in North Las Vegas and offering premium accommodations, gaming, dining, entertainment and retail for total net cash consideration of $380 million.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The ALST Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Boyd Gaming and ALST and further provides that, in connection with the termination of the ALST Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Boyd Gaming may be required to pay ALST a termination fee of $30 million.

On April 25, 2016, Boyd Gaming announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire The Cannery Hotel and Casino, LLC (“Cannery”), the owner and operator of Cannery Casino Hotel located in North Las Vegas, and Nevada Palace, LLC (“Eastside”), the owner and operator of Eastside Cannery Casino and Hotel located in the eastern part of the Las Vegas Valley, comprising the Las Vegas assets of Cannery Casino Resorts, LLC (“CCR”), for total cash consideration of $230 million, subject to adjustment based on the working capital, including cash and less indebtedness of the acquired assets and less any transaction expenses.

Boyd Gaming will acquire Cannery and Eastside pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Cannery Purchase Agreement”) entered into on April 25, 2016, by and among, Boyd Gaming, CCR, Cannery and Eastside. The Cannery Purchase Agreement provides that, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Boyd Gaming will acquire from CCR all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Cannery and Eastside (the “Cannery Purchase”), such that, following the Cannery Purchase, Cannery and Eastside will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Boyd Gaming.

The Cannery Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and termination rights. In addition, $20 million of the cash consideration will be placed in escrow to satisfy the indemnification obligations of CCR.

The completion of the ALST Merger and the Cannery Purchase are each subject to customary conditions and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including, among others, approval by the Nevada Gaming Commission and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the respective conditions in each of the ALST Merger Agreement and the Cannery Purchase Agreement, we currently expect each of the transactions to close before the end of 2016.

Investment in and Divestiture of Borgata

Prior to the sale of our equity interest, which closed on August 1, 2016, the Company and MGM each held a 50% interest in MDDHC, which owns all the equity interests in Borgata. Until the closing of the sale, we were the managing member of MDDHC, and we were responsible for the day-to-day operations of Borgata.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on August 1, 2016, MGM acquired from Boyd Gaming 49% of its 50% membership interest in MDDHC and, immediately thereafter, MDDHC redeemed Boyd Gaming’s remaining 1% membership interest in MDDHC (collectively, the “Transaction”). Following the Transaction, MDDHC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGM.

In consideration for the Transaction, MGM paid Boyd Gaming $900 million. The initial net cash proceeds were approximately $589 million, net of certain expenses and adjustments on the closing date in the form of outstanding indebtedness, cash and working capital. These initial proceeds do not include our 50% share of any future property tax settlement benefits, to which Boyd Gaming retains the right to receive upon payment. Borgata estimates that it is entitled to property tax refunds totaling $160 million, including amounts due under court decisions rendered in its favor and estimates for open tax appeals.

We reflect the results of operations and cash flows from our investment in Borgata as discontinued operations for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2016, approximately $0.9 billion was outstanding under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility and $7.1 million was allocated to support various letters of credit, leaving remaining contractual availability of $592.9 million.

Senior Notes

6.375% Senior Notes due April 2026

Significant Terms

On March 28, 2016, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due April 2026 (the "6.375% Notes"). The 6.375% Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2016. The 6.375% Notes will mature on April 1, 2026 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of our current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned by us. Net proceeds from the 6.375% Notes were used to pay down the outstanding amount under the Boyd Gaming Revolving Credit Facility and the balance was deposited in money market funds and classified as cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In conjunction with the issuance of the 6.375% Notes, we incurred approximately $13.0 million in debt financing costs that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 6.375% Notes using the effective interest method.

The 6.375% Notes contain certain restrictive covenants that, subject to exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the base and supplemental indentures governing the 6.375% Notes, together, the "Indenture") to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends or make distributions or repurchase our capital stock, make certain investments, and sell or merge with other companies. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we will be required, unless certain conditions are met, to offer to repurchase the 6.375% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 6.375% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture), if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase. If we sell assets or experience an event of loss, we will be required under certain circumstances to offer to purchase the 6.375% Notes.

At any time prior to April 1, 2021, we may redeem the 6.375% Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, plus a make whole premium. After April 1, 2021, we may redeem all or a portion of the 6.375% Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) ranging from 103.188% in 2021 to 100% in 2024 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest.

but thereafter ceases to be effective or is unusable for its intended purpose for a period in excess of 30 days without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment that cures such failure, the agreement provides that additional interest will accrue on the principal amount of the 6.375% Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following any of these events and will increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event will the penalty rate exceed 1.00% per annum, until the default is cured. There are no other alternative settlement methods and, other than the 1.00% per annum maximum penalty rate, the agreement contains no limit on the maximum potential amount of consideration that could be transferred in the event we do not meet the registration statement filing requirements. We currently intend to file a registration statement, have it declared effective and consummate any exchange offer within these time periods. Accordingly, we do not believe that payment of additional interest under the registration payment arrangement is probable and, therefore, no related liability has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Peninsula Segment Debt

Bank Credit Facility

The outstanding principal amounts under the Peninsula senior secured credit facility (the "Peninsula Credit Facility") are comprised of the following:

At June 30, 2016, approximately $610.5 million was outstanding under the Peninsula Credit Facility and $5.0 million was allocated to support various letters of credit, leaving remaining contractual availability of $31.1 million.

Early Extinguishments of Debt

We incurred non-cash charges of $0.4 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for deferred debt financing costs written off related to the Peninsula Credit Facility, which represents the ratable reduction in borrowing capacity due to optional prepayments made during these periods.

Additionally, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred $30.0 million of loss on early extinguishments of debt related to optional prepayments of the Term Loans under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility and the redemption of all of our 9.125% Senior Notes due December 2018 during the second quarter of 2015.

Covenant Compliance

As of June 30, 2016, we believe that Boyd Gaming and Peninsula were in compliance with the financial and other covenants of their respective debt instruments.

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for share-based payments. Under the guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee's requisite service period.

The following table provides classification detail of the total costs related to our share-based employee compensation plans reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Total share-based compensation expense	$	2,320	$	2,926	$	5,583	$	6,367

Performance Shares Vesting

The Performance Share Unit ("PSU") grants awarded in December 2012 and 2011 vested during first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Common shares were issued based on the determination by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of our actual achievement of net revenue growth, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") growth and customer service scores for the three-year performance period of the grant. As provided under the provisions of our stock incentive plan, certain of the participants elected to surrender a portion of the shares to be received to pay the withholding and other payroll taxes payable on the compensation resulting from the vesting of the PSUs.

The PSU grant awarded in December 2012 resulted in a total of 213,365 shares issued, representing approximately 0.59 shares per PSU. Of the 213,365 shares issued, a total of 54,338 were surrendered by the participants for payroll taxes, resulting a net issuance of 159,027 shares due to the vesting of the 2012 grant. The actual achievement level under the award metrics equaled the estimated performance as of year-end 2015; therefore, the vesting of the PSUs did not impact compensation costs in our 2016 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The PSU grant awarded in December 2011 resulted in a total of 654,478 shares issued, representing approximately 1.67 shares per PSU. Of the 654,478 shares issued, a total of 177,274 were surrendered by the participants for payroll taxes, resulting a net issuance of 477,204 shares due to the vesting of the 2011 grant. The actual achievement level under the award metrics equaled the estimated performance as of year-end 2014; therefore, the vesting of the PSUs did not impact compensation costs in our 2015 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Thus, assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 may be measured at fair value using inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 1, are based on statements received from our banks at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Investment Available for Sale

We have an investment in a single municipal bond issuance of $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Taxable Series 2007 that is classified as available for sale. We are the only holder of this instrument and there is no quoted market price for this instrument. As such, the fair value of this investment is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimate of the fair value of such investment was determined using a combination of current market rates and estimates of market conditions for instruments with similar terms, maturities, and degrees of risk and a discounted cash flows analysis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Unrealized gains and losses on this instrument resulting from changes in the fair value of the instrument are not charged to earnings, but rather are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders' equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $0.4 million of the carrying value of the investment available for sale is included as a current asset in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $17.4 million is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The discount associated with this investment of $3.2 million at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, is netted with the investment balance and is being accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of such discount is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Contingent Payments

In connection with the development of the Kansas Star Casino ("KSC"), KSC agreed to pay a former casino project developer and option holder 1% of KSC's EBITDA each month for a period of ten years commencing on December 20, 2011. The liability is

recorded at the estimated fair value of the contingent payments using a discounted cash flows approach and the significant unobservable input used in the valuation at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, is a discount rate of 18.5%. At both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was a current liability of $0.9 million related to this agreement, which is recorded in accrued liabilities on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets, and long-term obligation at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, of $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which is included in other liabilities on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The estimated fair values of the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility and the Peninsula Credit Facility are based on a relative value analysis performed on or about June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The estimated fair values of Boyd Gaming's senior notes and Peninsula's senior notes are based on quoted market prices as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Debt included in the "Other" category is fixed-rate debt that is not traded and does not have an observable market input; therefore, we have estimated its fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach, after giving consideration to the changes in market rates of interest, creditworthiness of both parties, and credit spreads.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 measurements during the six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.

As a result of the agreement to sell our equity interest in Borgata (see Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures), we no longer report our interest in Borgata as a Reportable Segment.

Results of Operations - Total Reportable Segment Net Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA

We evaluate each of our wholly owned property's profitability based upon Property EBITDA, which represents each property's earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedowns expenses, impairments of assets, other operating items, net, and gain or loss on early retirements of debt, as applicable. Total Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the aggregate sum of the Property EBITDA for each of the properties included in our Las Vegas Locals, Downtown Las Vegas, and Midwest and South, and Peninsula segments. Results for Downtown Las Vegas include the results of our Hawaii-based travel agency and captive insurance company.

We reclassify the reporting of corporate expense on the accompanying table in order to exclude it from our subtotal for Total Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA and include it as part of total other operating costs and expenses. Furthermore, corporate expense excludes its portion of share-based compensation expense. Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, aircraft expenses and various other expenses not directly related to our casino and hotel operations.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain operating data for our Reportable Segments, and reconciles Total Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA to operating income, as reported in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations:

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Redemption of Peninsula Gaming 2018 Notes

On August 3, 2016, a conditional notice of redemption was delivered to the trustee for the Peninsula Gaming 8.375% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). We have elected to redeem all of the outstanding 2018 Notes on September 2, 2016, at a redemption price of 100.00% of the principal amount of $350.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date. Redemption of the 2018 Notes is conditioned upon receipt by the trustee of the 2018 Notes of sufficient funds to pay the redemption price. The redemption will be funded using cash on hand. As a result of this early extinguishment of debt, the Company will recognize an estimated charge of $4.5 million during third quarter to write-off the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs at the time of redemption.

Redemption of Boyd Gaming 2020 Notes

On August 5, 2016, a conditional notice of redemption was delivered to the trustee for the Boyd Gaming 9.0% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The Company has elected to redeem all of the outstanding 2020 Notes on September 3, 2016, at a redemption price of 104.500% of the principal amount of $350.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Redemption of the 2020 Notes is conditioned upon receipt by the trustee of the 2020 Notes of sufficient funds to pay the redemption price. The redemption will be funded using cash on hand. As a result of this early extinguishment of debt, the Company will recognize an estimated charge of $21.7 million during third quarter for the premium to be paid and to write-off the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs at the time of redemption.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

We are a diversified operator of 21 wholly-owned gaming entertainment properties. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, we have gaming operations in Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. We view each operating property as an operating segment. For financial reporting purposes, we aggregate our wholly-owned properties into the following four reportable segments:



Las Vegas Locals
Gold Coast Hotel and Casino	Las Vegas, Nevada
The Orleans Hotel and Casino	Las Vegas, Nevada
Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall	Las Vegas, Nevada
Suncoast Hotel and Casino	Las Vegas, Nevada
Eldorado Casino	Henderson, Nevada
Jokers Wild Casino	Henderson, Nevada
Downtown Las Vegas
California Hotel and Casino	Las Vegas, Nevada

We also own and operate a travel agency and a captive insurance company that underwrites travel-related insurance, each located in Hawaii. Financial results for these operations are included in our Downtown Las Vegas segment, as our Downtown Las Vegas properties concentrate their marketing efforts on gaming customers from Hawaii.

On May 31, 2016, we announced that we had entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement to sell our 50% equity interest in the parent company of Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa ("Borgata") to MGM Resorts International ("MGM"), and this transaction closed on August 1, 2016. We account for our investment in Borgata applying the equity method and report its results as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Most of our gaming entertainment properties also include hotel, dining, retail and other amenities. Our main business emphasis is on slot revenues, which are highly dependent upon the number and spending levels of customers at our properties.

Our properties have historically generated significant operating cash flow, with the majority of our revenue being cash-based. While we do provide casino credit, subject to certain gaming regulations and jurisdictions, most of our customers wager with cash and pay for non-gaming services with cash or by credit card.

Our industry is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow in order to fund maintenance capital expenditures, fund acquisitions, provide excess cash for future development, repay debt financing and associated interest costs, repurchase our debt or equity securities, pay income taxes and pay dividends.

Our Strategy

Our overriding strategy is to increase shareholder value by pursuing strategic initiatives that improve and grow our business.

Strengthening our Balance Sheet

We are committed to finding opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet through diversifying and increasing cash flow to reduce our debt.

Operating Efficiently

We are committed to operating more efficiently and endeavor to prevent unneeded expense in our business. As we continue to experience revenue growth in both our gaming and non-gaming operations, the efficiencies of our business model position us to flow a substantial portion of the revenue growth directly to the bottom line.

Evaluating Acquisition Opportunities

Our evaluations of potential transactions and acquisitions are strategic, deliberate, and disciplined. Our goal is to identify and pursue opportunities that are a good fit for our business, deliver a solid return for shareholders, and are available at the right price, such as the recently announced acquisitions of Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa, Cannery Casino and Hotel and Eastside Cannery Casino and Hotel.

Maintaining our Brand

The ability of our employees to deliver great customer service helps distinguish our Company and our brands from our competitors. Our employees are an important reason that our customers continue to choose our properties over the competition across the country.

Our Key Performance Indicators

We use several key performance measures to evaluate the operations of our properties. These key performance measures include the following:


•	Gaming revenue measures:


•	Slot handle, which means the dollar amount wagered in slot machines, and table game drop, which means the total amount of cash deposited in table games drop boxes, plus the sum of markers issued at all table games. Slot handle and table game drop are measures of volume and/or market share.


•	Slot win and table game hold, which mean the difference between customer wagers and customer winnings on slot machines and table games, respectively. Slot win and table game hold percentages represent the relationship between slot handle and table game drop to gaming wins and losses.


•	Food and beverage revenue measures: average guest check, which means the average amount spent per customer visit and is a measure of volume and product offerings; number of guests served ("food covers") is an indicator of volume; and the cost per guest served is a measure of operating margin.


•	Room revenue measures: hotel occupancy rate, which measures the utilization of our available rooms; and average daily rate ("ADR") is a price measure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview



	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30,					June 30,
(In millions)	2016		2015			2016		2015
Net revenues	$	544.9	$	559.9		$	1,097.3	$	1,110.4
Operating income	80.5		83.1			162.7		155.0
Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax	11.3		(12.4		)	32.9		18.1
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	18.7		6.0			30.3		10.6
Net income (loss)	30.0		(6.4		)	63.2		28.7

Net Revenues

Net revenues decreased $15.0 million, or 2.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period due to $10.0 million and $7.7 million decreases in net revenues in the Midwest and South and Peninsula segments, respectively. The decrease in net revenues in the Midwest and South segment was concentrated at IP and Par-A-Dice, both of which continue to contend with increased gaming capacity in their markets. The Peninsula segment experienced decreased revenues due primarily to soft markets in all three states in which the segment operates. Partially offsetting these decreases were a combined increase of $2.7million in the Las Vegas Locals and Downtown Las Vegas segments net revenues.

Net revenues decreased $13.2 million, or 1.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period due to $18.5 million and $7.5 million decreases in net revenues in the Midwest and South and Peninsula segments, respectively. In the Midwest and South segment, net revenue declines were primarily the result of revenue decreases at Par-A-Dice and IP, both of which continue to contend with increased gaming capacity in their markets. For the Peninsula segment, net revenue declines year over year were primarily driven by the Louisiana operations and to a lesser extent by the Kansas operations. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $10.0 million and $2.8 million in Las Vegas Locals segment and Downtown Las Vegas segment, respectively.

Operating Income

The $2.6 million, or 3.1%, decrease in operating income during the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year reflects a $4.1 million increase in project development, preopening and writedowns costs over the prior year period, related primarily to costs surrounding our pending acquisitions, as well as the impact of decreased net revenues in our Midwest and South and Peninsula segments.

Operating income increased $7.8 million, or 5.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Operating margins in gaming, food and beverage and rooms did not change significantly. The increase is primarily a result of a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense and corporate expense, partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in project development, preopening and writedowns costs over the prior year period.

Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax

Income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $11.3 million, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $12.4 million in the comparable prior year period. The three months ended June 30, 2015 included $30.5 million of additional loss on early extinguishment of debt compared to the current year period. Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, increased $4.8 million compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due to an increase in outstanding debt as a result of the issuance of the 6.375% Senior Notes in March 2016.

Income from continuing operations increased $14.8 million, or 81.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The change is due to increased operating income, as well as the inclusion in the prior year period of an additional $30.6 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt compared to the current year, partially offset by a $23.2 million increase in our income tax provision as compared to the prior year due to settlements of previous years' income tax appeals.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax

Income from discontinued operation, net of tax, reflects the results of our equity method investment in Borgata. The increase in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year is a result of an increase in Borgata's net income driven by increased revenues and decreased operating expenses and interest expense.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $30.0 million, compared with net loss of $6.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The $36.4 million change is primarily due to an additional $30.5 million of loss on early extinguishments of debt in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the current year period, combined with a $12.8 million increase in Boyd Gaming's share of Borgata's net income classified as income from discontinued operations, net of tax. These increases were partially offset by a $4.8 million increase in interest expense and a $2.6 million decrease in operating income compared the prior year period.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $63.2 million, compared with net income of $28.7 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The $34.5 million increase is primarily due to a $19.8 million increase in Boyd Gaming's share of Borgata's operating income classified as income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the six months ended June 30, 2016 over the prior year period, combined with inclusion of an additional $30.6 million loss on early extinguishments of debt in the prior year period. These increases in net income were partially offset by a $23.2 million increase in our income tax provision due to settlements of previous years' income tax appeals.

Operating Revenues

We derive the majority of our gross revenues from our gaming operations, which produced approximately 75% and 76% of gross revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 75% and 76% of gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Food and beverage gross revenues represent our next most significant revenue source, generating approximately 13% of gross revenues for each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Room revenues and other revenues separately contributed less than 10% of gross revenues during these periods.

Gaming

Gaming revenues are comprised primarily of the net win from our slot machine operations and table games. The $15.7 million, or 3.3%, decrease in gaming revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, was due to decreases of $11.4 million and $6.8 million in the Midwest and South and Peninsula segments, respectively. In the Midwest and South segment, the decrease in gaming revenues was concentrated at IP and Par-A-Dice, both of which continue to contend with increased gaming capacity in their markets. The Midwest and South segment experienced a 6.0% decrease in slot

handle and a 5.1% decrease in table game drop. The Peninsula segment experienced primarily soft markets in all three states in which we operate, resulting in a 4.9% decrease in slot handle, a 1.0 percentage point decrease in table game hold, and a 5.9% decrease in table game drop. These declines were partially offset by increases in gaming revenue of $1.7 million and $0.8 million in the Las Vegas Locals and Downtown Las Vegas segments, respectively, attributable primarily to increased table game hold and slot win. Gaming expenses decreased by $6.9 million, or 3.1%, reflective of the overall reduction in gaming revenues.

The $17.9 million, or 1.9%, decrease in gaming revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, was due to decreases of $20.4 million and $6.6 million in the Midwest and South and Peninsula segments, respectively. In the Midwest and South segment, the decrease in gaming revenues was attributable to a 5.1% decrease in slot handle and a 4.6% decrease in table game drop, and was concentrated at Par-A-Dice and IP, both of which continue to contend with increased gaming capacity in their markets. Gaming revenues decreased 14.0% and 9.3% at Par-A-Dice and IP, respectively, partially offset by a 5.6% increase in Blue Chip's gaming revenue related to their continued increase in market share. The Peninsula segment gaming revenue decline was driven by decreases in both slot handle and table game drop of 3.1% and 4.7%, respectively, and offset by an increase in hold. Slot hold increased 0.1% while table game hold increased 0.5%. Consistent with the net revenue decline, the gaming revenue decline was driven primarily by the Louisiana operations and to a lesser extent by the Kansas operations. The Iowa properties had a combined 2.8% gaming revenue growth through the first half of 2016 due to year over year growth during the first quarter in Iowa. These declines in gaming revenue were partially offset by increases in gaming revenue of $6.5 million and $2.6 million in the Las Vegas Locals and Downtown Las Vegas segments, respectively, attributable primarily to increased table game hold and slot win. Gaming expenses decreased by $10.1 million, or 2.2%, reflective of the overall reduction in gaming revenues.

Food and Beverage

Food and beverage revenues decreased $2.0 million, or 2.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in revenues was due to a decrease in food covers and an increase in cost per cover across all segments. The effect of these changes was partially offset by increases in average guest check of 2.0% and 2.9% in the Downtown Las Vegas and Midwest and South segments, respectively. Food and beverage expenses and margin remained consistent as compared to last year.

Food and beverage revenues decreased $1.5 million, or 1.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in revenues was due to a decrease in food covers in every segment except Las Vegas Locals and an increase in cost per cover across all segments. The effect of these changes was partially offset by increases in average guest check of 2.7%, 2.6% and 2.2% in the Downtown Las Vegas, Midwest and South and Las Vegas Locals segments, respectively. Food and beverage expenses and margin remained consistent as compared to last year.

Room

Room revenues increased by $1.0 million, or 2.4%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due to increases in average daily rate of 3.8%, 2.8% and 1.7% in the Las Vegas Locals, Midwest and South and Downtown Las Vegas segments, respectively. The increase in average daily rate was offset by 2.5% and 2.3% decreases in hotel occupancy over the prior year period in the Las Vegas Locals and the Midwest and South segments, respectively. Room expenses and margin remained consistent as compared to last year.

Room revenues increased by $3.6 million, or 4.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due to increases in average daily rate of 3.3%, 1.7% and 0.9% in the Las Vegas Locals, Midwest and South and Downtown Las Vegas segments, respectively. Additionally, Las Vegas Locals and Downtown Las Vegas segments experienced increases in hotel occupancy of 1.7% and 1.3%, respectively. Room expenses and margin remained consistent as compared to last year.

Other

Other revenues relate to patronage visits at the amenities at our properties, including entertainment and nightclub revenues, retail sales, theater tickets and other venues. Other revenues decreased $0.9 million, or 3.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the prior year as a result of lower consumption of property amenities and decreased visitor spending.

Other revenues increased $0.8 million, or 1.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the prior year as a result of investment in property amenities and increased visitor spending during the year.

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by Reportable Segment

We determine each of our properties' profitability based upon Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), which represents earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent, share-based compensation expense, project development, preopening and writedowns expenses, impairments of assets and other operating items, net, as applicable. Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the aggregate sum of the Adjusted EBITDA for each of the properties comprising our Las Vegas Locals, Downtown Las Vegas, Midwest and South and Peninsula segments before net amortization, preopening and other items. Results for Downtown Las Vegas include the results of our travel agency and captive insurance company in Hawaii. Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, aircraft expenses and various other expenses not directly related to our casino and hotel operations. Furthermore, corporate expense excludes its portion of share-based compensation expense.

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in our industry that we believe, when considered with measures calculated in accordance with 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.

The following table presents our net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by Reportable Segment:



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(In millions)	2016			2015			2016			2015

Las Vegas Locals

Net revenues increased $1.9 million, or 1.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to a $1.7 million increase in gaming revenue resulting from a 0.3 percentage point increase in table game hold percentage and a 0.1 percentage point increase in slot hold. Average guest check increased only 1.4%, while the number of food covers decreased 4.5%, resulting in relatively unchanged food and beverage revenues of prior year period. ADR increased 3.8%, while hotel occupancy decreased 2.5%, resulting in a $0.7 million increase in room revenues over the prior year period.

Net revenues increased $10.0 million, or 3.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to a $6.5 million increase in gaming revenue resulting from a 3.3% increase in table game drop and a 0.4 percentage point increase in table game hold percentage. Average guest check increased 2.2%, the number of food covers increased 1.1%, hotel occupancy increased 1.7% and ADR increased 3.3%, resulting in an increase in food and beverage revenues and room revenues of 3.9% and 8.7%, respectively, over the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 2.4% and 7.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, over the comparable prior year period due to the flow-through effects of higher revenues and our on-going cost control efforts.

Downtown Las Vegas

Net revenues increased $0.8 million, or 1.3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to a $0.8 million increase in gaming revenues resulting from a 1.6% increase in slot handle, and a 1.2 percentage point increase in table game hold percentage. Additionally, food and beverage revenue and room revenues had modest increases related to a 2.0% increase in average guest check, a 1.7% increase hotel occupancy and a 1.7% increase in average daily rate. We continue to tailor our marketing programs in the Downtown segment to cater to our Hawaiian market. During both of the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our Hawaiian market represented approximately 53% of our occupied rooms in this segment.

Net revenues increased $2.8 million, or 2.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to a $2.6 million increase in gaming revenues resulting from a 1.8% increase in slot handle, and a 0.9 percentage point increase in table game hold percentage.

During both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our Hawaiian market represented approximately 52% of our occupied rooms in this segment.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2.0 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, over the comparable prior year period due to revenue gains coupled with our cost control efforts.

Midwest and South

Net revenues decreased $9.9 million, or 4.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to a $11.4 million decrease in gaming revenues resulting from a 6.0% decrease in slot handle and a 5.1% decrease in table game drop. Food and beverage revenues decreased 5.1% from prior year due despite a 2.9% increase in average guest check due to a 7.8% decrease in food covers. Room revenues remained consistent with the prior year. The results for the segment were impacted by the short-term impact of the recent opening of a new competitor in the Biloxi market and increased gaming capacity in Illinois, as reflected by IP and Par-A-Dice's decreases in net revenues of 6.3% and 13.9%, respectively.

Net revenues decreased $18.5 million, or 4.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to a $20.4 million decrease in gaming revenues resulting from a 5.1% decrease in slot handle and a 4.6% decrease in table game drop. Food and beverage revenues decreased 4.6% from prior year despite a 2.6% increase in average guest check due to a 6.5% decrease in food covers. Room revenues remained consistent with the prior year. The results for the segment were impacted by severe flooding that affected operations in portions of Louisiana and Mississippi in the early months of the year, the short-term impact of the recent opening of a new competitor in the Biloxi market and increased gaming capacity in Illinois, as reflected by IP and Par-A-Dice's decreases in net revenues of 6.0% and 13.1%, respectively. Overall net revenues for the Midwest and South segment were positively impacted by increased market share achieved by both Treasure Chest and Blue Chip.

The segment reported a $1.7 million decrease and a $3.9 decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to the decrease in revenues.

Peninsula

Net revenues in our Peninsula segment decreased $7.7 million, or 5.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the prior year period due primarily to soft markets in each of the three states where we operate. Gaming revenues decreased $6.8 million, or 5.6%, during the period, primarily due to a 5.9% decrease in table game drop and a 4.9% decrease in slot handle, a result of the soft markets in each of the three states where Peninsula segment operates. Food and beverage revenue decreased 8.2% during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period due primarily to a 10.1% decrease in food covers.

Net revenues in our Peninsula segment decreased $7.5 million, or 2.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the prior year period due primarily to the soft markets we experienced in all three states during the second quarter. Net revenue declines year over year were primarily driven by our Louisiana operations and to a lesser extent by our Kansas operations. The stronger performance by our Iowa properties in the first quarter of the current year offset second quarter declines in Iowa and resulted in a combined net revenue growth through the first half of the year in Iowa of 2.2%. Gaming revenues decreased $6.6 million, or 2.8%, during the period primarily due to a 4.7% decrease in table game drop and a 3.1% decrease in slot handle, a result of the soft markets experienced in each of the three states where Peninsula segment operates. Food and beverage revenues

decreased by 6.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period due primarily to an 8.7% decrease in food covers.

The segment reported a $4.5 million decrease and a $3.7 decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year period.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of gross revenues, were 13.1% during both of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and 13.2% during both of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. We continue to focus on disciplined and targeted marketing spend, and our ongoing cost containment efforts.

Maintenance and Utilities

Maintenance and utilities expenses, as a percentage of gross revenues, were 4.2% and 4.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 4.0% and 4.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease between the periods is primarily due to the fact that no major maintenance projects were undertaken in the current year period, coupled with cost reductions associated with the Company's energy savings initiatives.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses, as a percentage of gross revenues, were 8.0% and 8.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period. The overall decrease is primarily due to the decrease in intangible asset amortization for the Peninsula segment as its customer relationships are amortized using an accelerated method over their approximate useful life of five years.

Depreciation and amortization expenses, as a percentage of gross revenues, were 7.9% and 8.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period. The overall decrease is primarily due to the decrease in intangible asset amortization for the Peninsula segment as its customer relationships are amortized using an accelerated method over their approximate useful life of five years.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, rent and various other administrative expenses that are not directly related to our casino and/or hotel operations, in addition to the corporate portion of share-based compensation expense. Corporate expense represented 2.7% and 2.8% of gross revenues during each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 2.8% and 3.0% of gross revenues during each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Project Development, Preopening and Writedowns

Project development, preopening and writedowns represent: (i) certain costs incurred and recoveries realized related to the activities associated with various acquisition opportunities, strategic initiatives, dispositions and other business development activities in the ordinary course of business; (ii) certain costs of start-up activities that are expensed as incurred in our ongoing efforts to develop gaming activities in new jurisdictions and expenses related to other new business development activities that do not qualify as

capital costs; and (iii) asset write-downs. The increase in such costs in the current year periods as compared to the prior year is primarily due to the costs incurred related to the recently announced acquisitions and the Borgata disposition.

Impairments of Assets

Impairments of assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, included non-cash impairment charges related to non-operating assets.

Other Operating Items, net

Other operating items, net, is generally comprised of miscellaneous non-recurring operating charges, including direct and non-reimbursable costs associated with natural disasters and severe weather, including hurricane and flood expenses and subsequent recoveries of such costs, as applicable.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, increased $4.3 million, or 7.5%, over the prior year. For Boyd Gaming, interest expense increased compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due primarily to $750 million of senior notes at 6.375% due 2026, which we issued on March 28, 2016. While the proceeds were partially used to pay down the outstanding amount under the Boyd Gaming Revolving Credit Facility, the newly issued debt increased Boyd Gaming's average long-term debt balance for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period. Interest expense, net, for Peninsula for the three months ended June 30, 2016, reflects a $0.9 million, or 5.1%, decrease compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a reduction in average long-term borrowings outstanding of $78.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and interest income, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, increased $0.4 million, or 0.3%, over the prior year. For Boyd Gaming, interest expense increased compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due primarily to $750 million of senior notes at 6.375% due 2026 which we issued on March 28, 2016. While the proceeds were partially used to pay down the outstanding amount under the Boyd Gaming Revolving Credit Facility, the newly issued debt increased Boyd Gaming's average long-term debt balance for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period. Interest expense, net, for Peninsula for the six months ended June 30, 2016, reflects a $1.8 million, or 4.9%, decrease compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a reduction in average long-term borrowings outstanding of $79.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period.

During the second quarter of 2015, Boyd Gaming redeemed all of our 9.125% Senior Notes due December 2018. The Company incurred $24.0 million in premium and consent fees and a write-off of unamortized debt financing costs of $4.9 million, all of which were recognized as loss on early extinguishments of debt in the second quarter of 2015 financial results. Additionally, due to optional prepayments of the Term Loans under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility and Peninsula Credit Facility, the Company recorded a $2.1 million and a $2.6 million non-cash loss for the write-off of an unamortized discount and deferred financing costs representing the ratable reduction in borrowing capacity in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 19.56% and (55.2%), respectively. We have computed our provision or benefit for income taxes by applying the actual effective tax rate, under the discrete method, to year-to-date income. The discrete method was used to calculate income tax expense or benefit as the annual effective tax rate was not considered a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense or benefit. Our effective tax rate is impacted by adjustments that are largely independent of our operating results before taxes. The tax provision or benefit was impacted by changes in the valuation allowance applied to our federal and state income tax net operating losses and other deferred tax assets. Additionally, the tax provision or benefit was adversely impacted by an accrual of non-cash tax expense in connection with the tax amortization of indefinite lived intangible assets that was not available to offset existing deferred tax assets. The deferred tax liabilities created by the tax amortization of these intangibles cannot be used to offset corresponding increases in the net operating loss deferred tax assets when determining our valuation allowance. The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was favorably impacted, as a result of an effective settlement in connection with our 2005 - 2009 IRS audit, by the realization of unrecognized tax benefits and reversal of related accrued interest.

A valuation allowance of $231.6 million has been recorded against our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2016 due to uncertainties related to our ability to recognize these assets. In assessing the need to establish a valuation allowance, we consider, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of profitability and taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with the utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before expiration and tax planning strategies. Valuation allowances are evaluated periodically and subject to change in future reporting periods as a result of changes in the factors noted above. Based on recent earnings and the gain on the sale of our membership interest in Borgata in the third quarter of 2016, it is likely that sufficient positive evidence will become available to reach a conclusion that all or a portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. As such, the Company may release a significant portion of its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2016. However, the exact timing will be dependent on the successful close of the Borgata membership interest divestiture, levels of income achieved and management's visibility into future period results. The release of our valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a non-cash income tax benefit in the period in which the release is recorded.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of tax

Income from discontinued operations reflects the Company's share of the results of Borgata. The Company applied the equity method of accounting to its 50% investment in Borgata, which was sold on August 1, 2016.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial Position

Due to our organization and debt structures, we separately manage the working capital positions of Boyd Gaming Corporation and Peninsula, including their levels of cash and indebtedness. For purposes of this discussion, we will refer to each of the subdivisions of our Company as a "Business" and collectively as the "Businesses." Each of the Businesses operates with minimal or negative levels of working capital in order to minimize borrowings and related interest costs. The cash balances and working capital deficits of the Businesses were as follows:



	June 30,			December 31,
(In millions)	2016			2015
Cash balance
Boyd Gaming Corporation	$	604.7		$	129.3
Peninsula	23.6			29.6

Working capital surplus (deficit)
Boyd Gaming Corporation	$	396.4		$	(79.5	)
Peninsula	(20.6		)	(17.9		)

Boyd Gaming Corporation's cash balance includes a portion of the proceeds from the issuance in March 2016 of the $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due April 2026, which are invested in short-term bank deposits. Such funds are intended to be used for the announced acquisitions of Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa, Cannery Casino and Hotel and Eastside Cannery Casino and Hotel, as well as to service potential debt refinancing activities. The Businesses' respective bank credit facilities generally provide all necessary funds for the day-to-day operations, interest and tax payments, as well as capital expenditures. On a daily basis, we evaluate each Business's cash position and adjust the balance under its respective bank credit facility as necessary, by either borrowing or paying down debt with excess cash. We also plan the timing and the amounts of each Business’s capital expenditures. We believe that the borrowing capacity under each Business's bank credit facility, subject to restrictive covenants, and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet the Business’s projected operating and maintenance capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. The source of funds available to each Business for repayment of its debt or to fund development projects is derived primarily from its respective cash flows from operations and availability under its bank credit facility, to the extent availability exists after it meets its respective working capital needs, and subject to restrictive covenants. See "Indebtedness", below, for further detail regarding funds available through our credit facilities.

Each of the Businesses could also seek to secure additional working capital, repay respective current debt maturities, or fund respective development projects, in whole or in part, through incremental bank financing and additional debt or equity offerings.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we generated net operating cash flow of $160.3 million and $155.8 million, respectively. Generally, operating cash flows increased during 2016 as compared to the prior year period due to the flow through effect of higher revenues and the timing of working capital spending.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our industry is capital intensive and we use cash flows for acquisitions, facility expansions, investments in future development or business opportunities and maintenance capital expenditures.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred net cash outflows for investing activities of $71.7 million and $55.1 million, respectively, due to our capital expenditures during the respective periods of $72.4 million and $58.1 million. Increases in capital spending as compared to the prior year are due to our ongoing non-gaming amenities initiative and the hotel expansion project at our Delta Downs property.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We rely upon our financing cash flows to provide funding for investment opportunities, repayments of obligations and ongoing operations.

The net cash inflows for financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflect primarily the net proceeds from the issuance of the 6.375% Notes, as discussed further below.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

On May 31, 2016, we announced that we had entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell our 50% equity interest in the parent company of Borgata to MGM. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash from discontinued operations activities, representing distributions received from Borgata during the period, was $2.7 million.

Boyd Gaming Corporation Debt

Bank Credit Facility

On August 14, 2013, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Boyd Gaming Credit Facility"), among the Company, certain financial institutions, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as swing line lender.

The Boyd Gaming Credit Facility provides for (i) a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), (ii) a $250.0 million senior secured term A loan (the "Term A Loan"), and (iii) a $900.0 million senior secured term B loan (the "Term B Loan"). The Revolving Credit Facility and Term A Loan mature in August 2018 (or earlier upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events) and the Term B Loan matures in August 2020 (or earlier upon occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events).

The interest rate on the outstanding balance from time to time of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Loan is based upon, at the Company's option, either: (i) the Eurodollar rate or (ii) the base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is a percentage per annum determined in accordance with a specified pricing grid based on the total leverage ratio and ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% (if using LIBOR) and from 1.00% to 2.00% (if using the base rate). A fee of a percentage per annum (which ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% determined in accordance with a specified pricing grid based on the total leverage ratio) will be payable on the unused portions of the Revolving Credit Facility.

The interest rate on the outstanding balance from time to time of the Term B Loan is based upon, at the Company's option, either: (i) the Eurodollar rate (subject to a 1.00% minimum) plus 3.00%, or (ii) the base rate plus 2.00%.

The "base rate" under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility is the highest of (x) Bank of America's publicly-announced prime rate, (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (z) the Eurodollar rate for a one month period plus 1.00%.

The blended interest rate for outstanding borrowings under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility was 3.9% at June 30, 2016 and 3.8% at December 31, 2015.

The Boyd Gaming Credit Facility contains certain financial and other covenants, including, without limitation, various covenants (i) requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, (ii) establishing a maximum permitted consolidated total leverage ratio, (iii) establishing a maximum permitted secured leverage ratio, (iv) imposing limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, (v) imposing limitations on transfers, sales and other dispositions, and (vi) imposing restrictions on investments, dividends and certain other payments. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company may be required to repay the amounts outstanding under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility in connection with certain asset sales and issuances of certain additional secured indebtedness.

The Company's obligations under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions, are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries and are secured by the capital stock of certain subsidiaries. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company and each of the guarantors will grant the administrative agent first priority liens and security interests on substantially all of their real and personal property (other than gaming licenses and subject to certain other exceptions) as additional security for the performance of the secured obligations under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility.

Amounts Outstanding

The principal amounts outstanding under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility were:



	June 30,		December 31,
(In millions)	2016		2015
Revolving Credit Facility	$	—	$	240.0
Term A Loan	177.0		183.3
Term B Loan	726.3		730.8
Swing Loan	—		55.6
Total outstanding principal amounts under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility	$	903.3	$	1,209.7

Senior Notes

6.375% Senior Notes due April 2026

Significant Terms

at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) ranging from 103.188% in 2021 to 100% in 2024 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest.

In connection with the private placement of the 6.375% Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers in which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to permit the holders to exchange or resell the 6.375% Notes. We must use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement and to consummate an exchange offer within 365 days after the issuance of the 6.375% Notes, subject to certain suspension and other rights set forth in the registration rights agreement. Under certain circumstances, including our determination that we cannot complete an exchange offer, we are required to file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the 6.375% Notes and to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the 365th day following the issuance of the 6.375% Notes) after the occurrence of such circumstances. Subject to certain suspension and other rights, in the event that the registration statement is not filed or declared effective within the time periods specified in the registration rights agreement, the exchange offer is not consummated within 365 days after the issuance of the 6.375% Notes, or the registration statement is filed and declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or is unusable for its intended purpose for a period in excess of 30 days without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment that cures such failure, the agreement provides that additional interest will accrue on the principal amount of the 6.375% Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following any of these events and will increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event will the penalty rate exceed 1.00% per annum, until the default is cured. There are no other alternative settlement methods and, other than the 1.00% per annum maximum penalty rate, the agreement contains no limit on the maximum potential amount of consideration that could be transferred in the event we do not meet the registration statement filing requirements. We currently intend to file a registration statement, have it declared effective and consummate any exchange offer within these time periods. Accordingly, we do not believe that payment of additional interest under the registration payment arrangement is probable and, therefore, no related liability has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Debt Service Requirements

Debt service requirements under our current outstanding senior notes consist of semi-annual interest payments (based upon fixed annual interest rates ranging from 6.375% to 9.00%) and principal repayments of our 9.00% senior notes due on July 1, 2020, our 6.875% senior notes due May 21, 2023, and our 6.375% senior notes due April 1, 2026.

Peninsula Segment Debt

Bank Credit Facility

The Peninsula bank credit facility provides for a $875.0 million senior secured credit facility (the "Peninsula Credit Facility"), which consists of (a) a term loan facility of $825.0 million (the "Term Loan") and (b) a revolving credit facility of $50.0 million (the "Revolver"). The Revolver consists of up to $15.0 million in swing line loans ("Swing Loan") and a revolving credit facility ("Revolving Loan") of $50.0 million less Swing Loans outstanding and any amounts allocated to letters of credit. The maturity date for obligations under the Peninsula Credit Facility is November 17, 2017.

The interest rate on the outstanding balance from time to time of the Term Loan is based upon, at Peninsula's option, either: (i) the Eurodollar rate plus 3.25%, or (ii) the base rate plus 2.25%. The interest rate on the outstanding balance from time to time of the Revolver is based upon, at Peninsula's option, either: (i) the Eurodollar rate plus 4.00%, or (ii) the base rate plus 3.00%. The base rate under the Peninsula Credit Facility will be the highest of (x) Bank of America's publicly-announced prime rate, (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (z) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. The Peninsula Credit Facility also establishes, with respect to outstanding balances under the Term Loan, a minimum Eurodollar rate for any interest period of 1.00%. In addition, Peninsula will incur a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Peninsula Credit Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50%.

The blended interest rate for outstanding borrowings under the Peninsula Credit Facility was 4.3% at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Peninsula's obligations under the Peninsula Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions, are guaranteed by Peninsula's subsidiaries and are secured by the capital stock and equity interests of Peninsula's subsidiaries. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, Peninsula and each of the guarantors granted the collateral agent first priority liens and security interests on substantially all of the real and personal property (other than gaming licenses and subject to certain other exceptions) of Peninsula and its subsidiaries as additional security for the performance of the obligations under the Peninsula Credit Facility. The obligations under the Revolver rank senior in right of payment to the obligations under the Term Loan.

The Revolver contains certain financial and other covenants, including, without limitation, various covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio over each 12-month period ending on the last fiscal day of each quarter; (ii) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 as of the end of each calendar quarter; and (iii) a maximum amount of capital expenditures for each fiscal year. Under the provisions of its debt agreements, substantially all of Peninsula Gaming's net assets were restricted from distribution subject to specific amounts allowed for certain investments and other restricted payments as well as payments under a management services agreement between Peninsula Gaming and Boyd Acquisition, LLC.

Debt Redemption Notices

The redemptions will be funded using cash on hand. (See Note 13, Subsequent Events.)

Covenant Compliance

As of June 30, 2016, we believe that Boyd Gaming Corporation and Peninsula were in compliance with the financial and other covenants of their respective debt instruments.

The indentures governing the notes issued by each of the Businesses contain provisions that allow for the incurrence of additional indebtedness, if after giving effect to such incurrence, the coverage ratio (as defined in the respective indentures, essentially a ratio of the Business's consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges, including interest) for the Business's trailing four quarter period on a pro forma basis would be at least 2.0 to 1.0. Should this provision prohibit the incurrence of additional debt, each Business may still borrow under its existing credit facility. At June 30, 2016, the available borrowing capacity under these credit facilities was $592.9 million at Boyd Gaming Corporation and $31.1 million at Peninsula.

Share Repurchase Program

Subject to applicable corporate securities laws, repurchases under our stock repurchase program may be made at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate. We are subject to certain limitations regarding the repurchase of common stock, such as restricted payment limitations related to our outstanding notes and Boyd Gaming Credit Facility. Purchases under our stock repurchase program can be discontinued at any time that we feel additional purchases are not warranted. We intend to fund the repurchases under the stock repurchase program with existing cash resources and availability under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility. In July 2008, our Board of Directors authorized an amendment to our existing share repurchase program to increase the amount of common stock available to be repurchased to $100 million. We are not obligated to purchase any shares under our stock repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. We are currently authorized to repurchase up to an additional $92.1 million in shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program.

We have in the past, and may in the future, acquire our debt or equity securities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine.

Other Items Affecting Liquidity

We anticipate funding our capital requirements using cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent availability exists after we meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. Any additional financing that is needed may not be available to us or, if available, may not be on terms favorable to us. The outcome of the specific matters discussed herein, including our commitments and contingencies, may also affect our liquidity.

Commitments

Capital Spending and Development

Our estimated total capital expenditures for 2016, excluding the pending acquisitions discussed below, are expected to be approximately $184 million, primarily comprised of projects to reposition non-gaming amenities, the hotel expansion project at

our Delta Downs property, and various maintenance capital expenditures across our properties. We intend to fund such capital expenditures through our credit facilities and operating cash flows.

In addition to the capital spending discussed above, we also continue to pursue other potential development projects that may require us to invest significant amounts of capital. We continue to work with Wilton Rancheria, a federally-recognized tribe located about 30 miles southeast of Sacramento, California, to develop and manage a gaming entertainment complex.

Pending Acquisitions

In April 2016, we announced two agreements to acquire three casino properties in southern Nevada.

On April 21, 2016, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement (the “ALST Merger Agreement”) to acquire ALST Casino Holdco, LLC (“ALST”), the holding company of Aliante Gaming, LLC (“Aliante”), the owner and operator of the Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa, an upscale, resort-style casino and hotel situated in North Las Vegas and offering premium accommodations, gaming, dining, entertainment and retail for total net cash consideration of $380 million (the “ALST Merger”).

On April 25, 2016, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement (the "Cannery Purchase Agreement") to acquire The Cannery Hotel and Casino, LLC (“Cannery”), the owner and operator of Cannery Casino Hotel, located in North Las Vegas, and Nevada Palace, LLC (“Eastside”), the owner and operator of Eastside Cannery Casino and Hotel, located in the eastern part of the Las Vegas Valley, comprising the Las Vegas assets of Cannery Casino Resorts, LLC (“CCR”), for total cash consideration of $230 million, subject to adjustment based on the working capital, including cash and less indebtedness of the acquired assets and less any transaction expenses (the "Cannery Purchase").

Divestiture of Borgata

Prior to the sale of our equity interest, which closed on August 1, 2016, the Company and MGM each held a 50% interest in Marina District Development Holding Company, LLC ("MDDHC"), which owns all the equity interests in Borgata. Until the closing of the sale, we were the managing member of MDDHC, and we were responsible for the day-to-day operations of Borgata.

In consideration for the Transaction, MGM paid Boyd Gaming $900 million. The initial net cash proceeds were approximately $589 million, net of certain expenses and adjustments on the closing date in the form of outstanding indebtedness, cash and working capital. These initial proceeds do not include our 50% share of any future property tax settlement benefits, to which we retain the right to receive upon payment. Borgata estimates that it is entitled to property tax refunds totaling $160 million, including amounts due under court decisions rendered in its favor and estimates for open tax appeals.

Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are also parties to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that all pending claims, if adversely decided, would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

Other Opportunities

We regularly investigate and pursue additional expansion opportunities in markets where casino gaming is currently permitted. We also pursue expansion opportunities in jurisdictions where casino gaming is not currently permitted in order to be prepared to develop projects upon approval of casino gaming. Such expansions will be affected and determined by several key factors, which may include the following:


•	the outcome of gaming license selection processes;


•	the approval of gaming in jurisdictions where we have been active but where casino gaming is not currently permitted;


•	identification of additional suitable investment opportunities in current gaming jurisdictions; and


•	availability of acceptable financing.

Additional projects may require us to make substantial investments or may cause us to incur substantial costs related to the investigation and pursuit of such opportunities, which investments and costs we may fund through cash flow from operations or availability under the Boyd Gaming Credit Facility. To the extent such sources of funds are not sufficient, we may also seek to raise such additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings or from other sources.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes to our off balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) and described under Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2016.

Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Such statements contain words such as "may," "will," "might," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "could," "would," "estimate," "pursue," "target," "project," "intend," "plan," "seek," "should," "assume," and "continue," or the negative thereof or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any such statement. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include:


•	The effects of intense competition that exists in the gaming industry.


•	The risk that our acquisitions and other expansion opportunities divert management’s attention or incur substantial costs, or that we are otherwise unable to develop, profitably manage or successfully integrate the businesses we acquire.


•	The risk that we fail to receive all required governmental approvals regarding pending acquisitions, including clearance from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regarding our acquisition of the Cannery properties, and approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission regarding our acquisition of the Aliante and the Cannery properties.


•	The fact that our expansion, development and renovation projects (including enhancements to improve property performance) are subject to many risks inherent in expansion, development or construction of a new or existing project.


•	The risk that any of our projects may not be completed, if at all, on time or within established budgets, or that any project will result in increased earnings to us.


•	The risk that significant delays, cost overruns, or failures of any of our projects to achieve market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


•	The risk that new gaming licenses or jurisdictions become available (or offer different gaming regulations or taxes) that results in increased competition to us.


•	The risk that negative industry or economic trends, reduced estimates of future cash flows, disruptions to our business, slower growth rates or lack of growth in our business, may result in significant write-downs or impairments in future periods.


•	The risk that regulatory authorities may revoke, suspend, condition or limit our gaming or other licenses, impose substantial fines and take other adverse actions against any of our casino operations.


•	The risk that we or Peninsula may be unable to refinance our respective outstanding indebtedness as it comes due, or that if we or Peninsula do refinance, the terms are not favorable to us or them.


•	The effects of the extensive governmental gaming regulation and taxation policies that we are subject to, as well as any changes in laws and regulations, including increased taxes and imposition of smoking bans, which could harm our business.


•	The effects of federal, state and local laws affecting our business such as the regulation of smoking, the regulation of directors, officers, key employees and partners and regulations affecting business in general.


•	The effects of extreme weather conditions or natural disasters on our facilities and the geographic areas from which we draw our customers, and our ability to recover insurance proceeds (if any).


•	The effects of events adversely impacting the economy or the regions from which we draw a significant percentage of our customers, including the effects of the recent economic recession, war, terrorist or similar activity or disasters in, at, or around our properties.


•	The risk that we fail to adapt our business and amenities to changing customer preferences.


•	Financial community and rating agency perceptions of us, and the effect of economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy and the gaming and hotel industry.


•	The effect of the expansion of legalized gaming in the regions in which we operate.


•	The risk of failing to maintain the integrity of our information technology infrastructure and our business and customer data.


•	Our estimated effective income tax rates, estimated tax benefits, and merits of our tax positions.


•	Risks relating to our realization and estimates of our 50% share of any future property tax settlement benefits from Borgata.


•	Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes.


•	The risks relating to owning our equity, including price and volume fluctuations of the stock market that may harm the market price of our common stock and the potential of certain of our stockholders owning large interest in our capital stock to significantly influence our affairs.


•	Other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015, and in other current and periodic reports filed from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk, specifically long-term U.S. treasury rates and the applicable spreads in the high-yield investment market, short-term and long-term LIBOR rates, and short-term Eurodollar rates, and their potential impact on our long-term debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed-rate borrowings and short-term borrowings under our and Peninsula's bank credit facilities. We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of June 30, 2016, Boyd Gaming Corporation long-term variable-rate borrowings represented approximately 32.8% of total long-term debt. Based on June 30, 2016 debt levels, a 100 basis point change in the Eurodollar rate or the base rate would cause the annual interest costs to change by approximately $9.0 million.

As of June 30, 2016, Peninsula long-term variable-rate borrowings represented approximately 63.6% of total long-term debt. Based on June 30, 2016 debt levels, a 100 basis point increase in the Eurodollar rate or the base rate would cause the annual interest costs on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan to increase by approximately $0.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and a 100 basis point decrease in the Eurodollar rate or the base rate would cause the annual interest costs on the Revolving Credit Facility to decrease by $0.1 million. There would be no decrease to interest costs on the Term Loan as the interest rate at June 30, 2016 was at the floor. The impact of a 100 basis point increase in the Eurodollar rate or the base rate on the Term Loan is lessened as the current Eurodollar rate at June 30, 2016 is below the established minimum 1.0% rate. The impact of a 100 basis point decrease in the Eurodollar rate or the base rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is capped as the current rate at June 30, 2016 is less than 1.0% above the lowest possible rate of 4.0%.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Set forth below are certain risk factors related to our business that include material changes to, or discuss risks in addition to, the risks previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

We encourage investors to review the risks and uncertainties relating to our business disclosed in that Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as those contained in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of our securities, including our common stock, and senior notes, could decline significantly, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.

Risks Related to our Business

We face risks associated with growth and acquisitions.

As part of our business strategy, we regularly evaluate opportunities for growth through development of gaming operations in existing or new markets, through acquiring other gaming entertainment facilities or through redeveloping our existing gaming facilities. For example, on April 21, 2016 we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Aliante Casino, Hotel and Spa (“Aliante”), and on April 25, 2016 we announce that we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Cannery Casino Hotel and Eastside Cannery Hotel (the “Cannery Properties,” and together with Aliante, the “Acquisitions”). The Acquisitions are discussed in detail in Note 3 to the financial statements, Acquisitions and Divestitures.

In the future, we may also pursue expansion opportunities, including joint ventures, in jurisdictions where casino gaming is not currently permitted in order to be prepared to develop projects upon approval of casino gaming. The expansion of our operations, including as a result of the pending Acquisitions, development or internal growth, could divert management's attention and could also cause us to incur substantial costs, including legal, professional and consulting fees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire, develop or profitably manage additional companies or operations or successfully integrate such companies or operations into our existing operations without substantial costs, delays or other problems. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will receive gaming or other necessary licenses or approvals for new projects that we pursue or that gaming will be approved in jurisdictions where it is not currently approved.

We may face integration difficulties and may be unable to integrate Aliante and the Cannery Properties into Boyd Gaming's business successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of the pending Acquisitions. The consummation of the Acquisitions will require the successful integration of three additional properties into Boyd Gaming’s operating structure in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisitions. We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to ensure that such integration is successfully completed. Potential difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:


•	the inability to successfully assume management of the new properties in a manner that permits the us to achieve the full revenue and other benefits anticipated to result from the Acquisitions;


•	complexities associated with managing the new properties, including difficulty addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies and the challenge of integrating complex systems, technology, networks and other assets of each of the properties in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies; and


•	potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses associated with the Acquisitions.

In addition, it is possible that the integration process could result in:


•	diversion of the attention of Boyd Gaming’s management; and


•	the disruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each property’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies,

any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisitions, or could reduce our earnings or otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results.

Our ability to consummate the Acquisitions is contingent upon the receipt of governmental approvals and satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

The consummation of each Acquisition is subject to customary conditions and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including, among others, approval by the Nevada Gaming Commission and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR”), as amended. While the applicable HSR waiting period regarding our acquisition of the Aliante has expired, we have received a request from the FTC for additional information regarding our Acquisition of the Cannery properties and the FTC’s review is ongoing with respect to that Acquisition. Further, the review of the Acquisitions by the Nevada Gaming Control Board is currently ongoing, and we have not yet received approval for either of the Acquisitions from the Nevada Gaming Commission. If we fail to receive all such required regulatory approvals, or otherwise fail to satisfy a required closing condition, resulting in the failure to consummate either of the Acquisitions, our business will be materially adversely affected. Such effects could include, but are not limited to, the failure to recognize the anticipated benefits of such Acquisitions, the loss of management’s time and the expense expended with respect to investigating, entering into, and attempting to consummate such Acquisition, as well as other related costs to Boyd Gaming’s business. For example, Boyd Gaming may be required to pay ALST Casino Holdco, LLC, the owner of the Aliante, a termination fee of $30 million if the Aliante acquisition fails to close.
