Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. Reports
Net Loss for the 2005 1st Qtr of $45.4 million
.
 
NEW YORK - May 6, 2005 -- Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. ("THCR" or the "Company") (OTCBB:DJTCQ.OB) today reported consolidated net revenues (defined as gross revenues less promotional allowances) for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 of $267.2 million, compared to $273.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. 

Consolidated income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $14.4 million, compared to $25.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. During the 2005 first quarter, in connection with its reorganization proceedings commenced on November 21, 2004 and described below, the Company recorded reorganization expenses of $5.7 million in professional fees. 

The net loss for the 2005 first quarter was $45.4 million, or $1.52 per share, compared to a net loss of $48.9 million, or $1.63 per share, in the first quarter of 2004. 

As disclosed in March 2005, the Company reached a settlement with the State of Indiana's Revenue Department covering state income taxes resulting from the non-deductibility of wagering taxes in computing Indiana state taxes. Consequently, an additional $2.5 million of income taxes were recorded in the first quarter 2005 for these prior year taxes. Given the transfer of the management of Trump 29 Casino in Coachella, California to the Twenty Nine Palms Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of California in the fourth quarter of 2004, the results of THCR Management Services, LLC for the first quarter 2004 of $2.2 million are reflected as a discontinued operation. 

Provisions for income taxes in the first quarter of 2004 include a $19.1 million charge resulting from the aforementioned non-deductibility of wagering taxes in computing Indiana state income taxes. EBITDA (defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization, non-cash CRDA write-downs and reorganization expenses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $45.9 million, compared to $52.2 million reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Readers are advised that the term "EBITDA" is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses EBITDA because it believes that it is used by certain investors in measuring an entity's operating performance. A reconciliation of EBITDA to income from operations and net loss is included in the attached schedules.

On November 21, 2004, the Company commenced its reorganization proceedings. For information on the process, including the detailed disclosure statement, plan of reorganization and confirmation order, interested parties are encouraged to visit the Company's website at www.thcrrecap.com. The plan of reorganization was confirmed April 5, 2005, as amended April 11, 2005. The effective date for the closing is now scheduled for May 12, 2005. As previously announced, the Plan, which was supported by an overwhelming percentage of its equity holders and bondholders, calls for an approximately $400 million reduction in the Company's indebtedness with a reduced interest rate to 8.5%, representing an annual interest expense savings of approximately $98 million. The Plan also permits a working capital facility of up to $500 million secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets, which is expected to allow the Company to refurbish and expand its current properties and permit the Company to enter into new and emerging markets.

Trump Taj Mahal Associates ("Taj Associates") reported net revenues of $112.6 million for the 2005 first quarter, compared to $112.7 million for the same quarter in 2004.

(a)EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, valuation allowances on casino reinvestment obligations
and reorganization expenses) is a measure of financial performance
commonly used in the casino hotel industry. We provide EBITDA results
to enhance an investor's understanding of our operating results.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial statement measure and should not be
construed as an alternative to operating income as determined under
generally accepted accounting principles as an indicator of operating
performance. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner;
accordingly, the EBITDA results presented above may not be comparable
to EBITDA results as reported by other companies.
