[1] | For all four quarters of 2019 and the third and fourth quarters of 2018, the Company generated a net loss. Accordingly, the effect of all potential common share equivalents was anti-dilutive, and therefore all such shares were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and diluted loss per share for this period. The number of potential common share equivalents was 1,048, 740, 730 and 1,168 for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2019, respectively. The number of potential common share equivalents was 1,870 and 1,028 for the third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively.
[2] | Results included the operating results of the Laughlin Entities from January 14, 2019, following the completion of the Laughlin Acquisition.
[3] | Preopening and related expenses include rent, organizational costs, non-capital costs associated with the opening of tavern and casino locations, and expenses related to The Strat rebranding and the launch of the True Rewards loyalty program.
