    Corporates Gaming / U.S.A. 2014 Outlook: U.S. Gaming Deleveraging Potential Outlook Report High Leverage Is So 2013: After a busy 2013, with a first-ever gaming/REIT spin-off and three Rating Outlook major debt-funded M&A transactions, gaming companies are positioned with solid FCF profiles, STABLE limited development prospects and stringent credit agreement provisions. Fitch Ratings believes this is a formula for meaningful deleveraging across the industry. Notable exceptions (2013: STABLE) could be the U.S.-based Macau operators, which will be ramping up developments on Cotai and currently maintain low leverage levels in Macau. A handful of lightly leveraged companies may also look to increase shareholder-friendly activity. Finally, a Gaming REIT: Fitch believes the entrance of REITs into the gaming sector will potentially drive up trading EV/EBITDA multiples, provide new sources of capital (e.g. sale and leaseback), create better transparency on the value of physical casino assets and the gaming licenses (retained by the operator) and possibly increase tolerance for higher leverage. Tepid Domestic Growth Prospects: 2014 casino openings in Ohio, Baltimore and possibly Lake Charles, LA will grow but also cannibalize their respective markets. Same-store growth will continue to be soft, although we project regional markets to fare better relative to 2013 as the effects from the sequester and the payroll tax holiday rollback will anniversary. Operators with exposure to the Las Vegas Strip and Macau will continue to benefit. We project 3% gaming revenue growth for the Las Vegas Strip (5% RevPAR growth) and 12% for Macau. Sector Outlook Greater Interest Rate Sensitivity: Many gaming companies used term loans to refinance STABLE fixed-rate notes or execute M&As.
