Melco Announces Record Adjusted Property EBITDA in the Third Quarter 2017 and Declares Quarterly Dividend


MACAU, Nov. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq:MLCO), a developer, owner and operator of casino gaming and entertainment casino resort facilities in Asia, today reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2017.

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was US$1,376.8 million, representing an increase of approximately 19% from US$1,152.6 million for the comparable period in 2016. The increase in net revenue was primarily attributable to higher rolling chip revenues at City of Dreams and the commencement of rolling chip operations at Studio City in November 2016.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, operating income for the third quarter of 2017 was US$192.7 million, compared with operating income of US$108.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 77%.

Adjusted property EBITDA(1) was US$400.2 million for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to Adjusted property EBITDA of US$289.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 38%. The year-on-year improvement in Adjusted property EBITDA was mainly attributable to better performance in the group-wide rolling chip segment.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the third quarter of 2017 was US$115.9 million, or US$0.24 per ADS, compared with US$62.0 million, or US$0.13 per ADS, in the third quarter of 2016. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2017 of US$3.3 million was related to Studio City and City of Dreams Manila.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “A strong contribution from all gaming segments, aided by a sustained recovery in Macau and ongoing strength in the fast growing Philippines gaming market, continues to drive our Company's overall profitability which enabled us to deliver our all-time record Adjusted property EBITDA of US$400.2 million in the third quarter of 2017.

“Gaming revenue growth momentum in Macau has remained strong, with October 2017 marking the fifteenth consecutive month of positive year-over-year growth. Looking out, we believe there are multiple drivers of long term growth for Macau, powered by ongoing expansion of the increasingly consumption driven middle-to-upper class in China, improving accessibility into and mobility around Macau, and the continuing build-out of non-gaming amenities, which we believe support an increase in the number of tourists and length of stay.

“Melco continues to pursue quality, sustainable earnings growth by remaining focused on the mass market gaming segment, while remaining committed to managing costs, which is evident in the improvement in EBITDA and EBITDA margins in the third quarter of 2017.

“City of Dreams has once again proven itself to be the unequivocal leader in the premium end of the market, with ongoing improvements in mass table yields despite an increase in new supply in the market. We aim to further solidify our leadership position in the premium segment by embarking on a range of exciting enhancements as part of phase three at City of Dreams, including the opening of Morpheus, which remains on budget and on track to open in the first half of 2018. This ultra-luxury, groundbreaking concept will add approximately 780 luxury hotel rooms, suites and villas as well as incredible food and beverage and other non-gaming amenities. When Morpheus opens, we will also commence the rebranding and redevelopment of The Count:Down, which we believe will seamlessly complement the integrated resort’s already market-leading premium mass and direct VIP gaming amenities and other non-gaming offerings.

“Studio City continues to ramp by delivering improvements in the mass market and rolling chip segments. Going forward, we will continue to refine our product offerings at Studio City with a range of extensive property upgrades planned over the next twelve months, including the planned redevelopment of the House of Magic and enhancements in the accessibility to the property.

“In The Philippines, City of Dreams Manila continues to enjoy strong year-on-year growth across all gaming segments, which enabled the property to deliver over 27% year-over-year growth in Adjusted property EBITDA, despite new supply in the Philippines.

“We continue to focus on new expansion opportunities to deliver long term value for our shareholders, which include the transformational integrated resort opportunity in Japan. We believe that our track record of delivering high quality and unique integrated resorts, our market-leading social safeguard systems, and commitment to being an ideal partner to local governments and communities alike places us in a strong position to compete for a license in this exciting market.

“Lastly, I would want to take this opportunity to express our sympathy to all those who were affected by Typhoon Hato in late August. I send my deepest sympathies to the families who have lost loved ones during the Typhoon. I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to my colleagues who have risen to the challenge of rebuilding our community after Typhoon Hato.”

We recorded US$9.1 million of capitalized interest during the third quarter of 2017, relating to the development of Morpheus at City of Dreams.

The year-on-year increase of US$15.0 million in net non-operating expenses was primarily a result of the loss on extinguishment of debt arising from the issuance of the additional US$350.0 million 4.875% senior notes in July 2017 for the refinancing of the US$1 billion Senior Notes issued in 2013 by Melco Resorts Finance Limited.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1) "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and other, share-based compensation, payments to the Philippine parties under the cooperative arrangement (the “Philippine Parties”), land rent to Belle Corporation, net gain on disposal of property and equipment to Belle Corporation and other non-operating income and expenses. "Adjusted property EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and other, share-based compensation, payments to the Philippine Parties, land rent to Belle Corporation, net gain on disposal of property and equipment to Belle Corporation, Corporate and Others expenses and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA are presented exclusively as supplemental disclosures because management believes they are widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA as measures of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors. The Company also presents adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA because they are used by some investors as ways to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures, and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA as supplements to financial measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income as indicators of the Company's performance, as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity, or as alternatives to any other measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Unlike net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA do not include depreciation and amortization or interest expense and, therefore, do not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company compensates for these limitations by using adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA as only two of several comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.

Such U.S. GAAP measurements include operating income, net income, cash flows from operations and cash flow data. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other recurring and nonrecurring charges, which are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA or adjusted property EBITDA. Also, the Company's calculation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA with the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided herein immediately following the financial statements included in this press release.

(2) “Adjusted net income” is net income before net gain on disposal of property and equipment to Belle Corporation, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and other, loss on extinguishment of debt and costs associated with debt modification, net of noncontrolling interests and taxes calculated using specific tax treatments applicable to the adjustments based on their respective jurisdictions. Adjusted net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited and adjusted net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited per share (“EPS”) are presented as supplemental disclosures because management believes they are widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. These measures are used by management and/or evaluated by some investors, in addition to income and EPS computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an additional basis for assessing period-to-period results of our business. Adjusted net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited and adjusted net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited per share may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of adjusted net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited with the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided herein immediately following the financial statements included in this press release.
