The man whose critical advice to upstart entrepreneurs is “You better know your numbers” happens to be pretty open with his own.
Creditors are getting nervous. Bonds backed by Golden Nugget maturing in 2024 and 2025 traded this week at 62 cents and 52 cents on the dollar, according to Finra data. They last traded at par a month on March 2, 2020.

So what’s this operation worth? The average enterprise valuation multiple for sit-down restaurant chains is ten times Ebitda . There’s a range: Brinker International , trades at 7.4 times while Dine Brands is at 10.8 times and Darden Restaurants 13.5 times. Based on last year’s Ebitda of ~$700 million, Landry’s would be worth roughly $7 billion in enterprise value. Deduct roughly $4 billion in debt and you have an implied equity value of some $3 billion. But the good times are over for now. According to Jordan Thaeler, founder of WhatsBusy , fine dining is off 90% nationwide, while casual dining is down 75%. Analysts at Cowen & Co. see the pain lasting six months or more.
