Caesars Entertainment Corporation is all set to announce its first quarter results for fiscal year 2015 on Wednesday 6. In the previous quarter of 2014, the company reported a negative astonishment of about 74.51%. In the meantime, the company has brought adverse earnings surprise over the past four quarters. Now let’s take a look on how things are going to be for this announcement.

The public gaming corp. has been unable to report a profit for quite a long time now. The company has been missing consensus estimate constantly since the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.the losses show Caesars huge debt burden that has caused interest expense to go up.

Caesars Entertainment Corp (CZR) was previously called as Harrah’s Entertainment and went private in the year 2008 followed by its acquisition by private equity companies TPG Capital and Apollo Global Management in a leveraged takeover of about $30 billion. However, it began to trade again after its initial public offering in FY12.

In spite of all the efforts to restrain debt, Caesars has unable to reach the target. Due to which, analysts believes the profit to remain soft in first quarter of FY15.

Nonetheless, the company is spending enormously on renovation in order to get more traffic. By keeping an eye on high growth markets, the company is also improving its entertainment assets and hospitality.
