Melco Announces Record Adjusted Property EBITDA in Second Quarter 2019 and Increase in Quarterly Dividend to US$0.16512 per ADS


MACAU, July 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: MLCO) (“Melco” or the “Company”), a developer, owner and operator of casino gaming and entertainment casino resort facilities in Asia, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2019.

Total operating revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were US$1,442.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 17% from US$1,228.6 million for the comparable period in 2018. The increase in total operating revenues was primarily attributable to better performance in the rolling chip and mass market table games segments and higher non-gaming revenue as a result of the opening of Morpheus in June 2018.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2019 was US$205.3 million, compared with operating income of US$118.1 million in the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 74%.

Adjusted property EBITDA(1) was US$442.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to Adjusted property EBITDA of US$355.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 24%.

Net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the second quarter of 2019 was US$100.3 million, or US$0.22 per ADS, compared with US$57.3 million, or US$0.12 per ADS, in the second quarter of 2018. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 were US$3.0 million and US$4.1 million, respectively, which were related to Studio City and City of Dreams Manila.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the second quarter of 2019, all of Melco’s Macau Integrated Resorts delivered strong mass table games revenue growth, which drove Group-wide Property EBITDA to expand approximately 24% year-over-year to an all-time-high of US$442 million.

“The further ramp up of the award-winning Morpheus and opening of the new VIP area on the second floor helped City of Dreams deliver a strong set of results in the second quarter of 2019, with VIP volumes, mass table gaming revenue and Property EBITDA all experiencing significant growth.

“During the second quarter, Studio City and Altira also delivered strong mass table gaming revenue growth, highlighting strength in Macau’s mass gaming market and Melco’s dominant foothold in the city’s mass and premium mass gaming segments.

“Melco’s dedication to excellence has been widely recognized, most recently by the 2019 Asia Pacific Property Awards with Morpheus being awarded as the winner of Best Hotel Architecture Macau and Best New Hotel Construction & Design Macau. ‘The House of Dancing Water’, Melco’s award-winning show, has also been recognized by Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia Awards 2019 as the Best Integrated Resorts Non-Gaming Attraction. These recognitions have positioned Melco as a leading integrated resort operator in Asia.

“At Studio City, we continue to enhance our entertainment offerings with a series of property upgrades, which include the opening of the pop-up ‘Legend Heroes Park’ in January, the ‘Show House’ Night Club in February and the ‘Flip Out’ Trampoline Park in May. Soon, we will open the permanent, 50,000 square feet Legend Heroes VR Park, which should be Asia’s largest Virtual Reality Zone.

“The Board has, after evaluating the Company’s current liquidity position and future expected capital needs, decided to increase the quarterly cash dividend by 6% to US$0.05504 per ordinary share, which is equivalent to US$0.16512 per ADS, from the previous quarterly dividend of US$0.0517 per ordinary share.

“In May 2019, the Company announced its agreement to acquire a 19.99% stake in Crown Resorts Limited (“Crown”) from CPH Crown Holdings Pty Limited. We believe Melco’s investment in Crown is an incredible opportunity to purchase a strategic stake in what we believe to be Australia’s premier provider of true integrated resort experiences.

“In June 2019, the Company announced its agreement to acquire from Melco International Development Limited (“Melco International”) all of Melco International’s holdings of ordinary shares of ICR Cyprus Holdings Limited ("ICR Cyprus"), which represents a 75% equity interest in ICR Cyprus. ICR Cyprus and its subsidiaries are developing the City of Dreams Mediterranean integrated destination resort project in Cyprus. The City of Dreams Mediterranean project is currently under development and scheduled to open in 2021, upon which it is expected to be the largest and premier integrated destination resort in Europe.

“Lastly, Japan continues to be a core focus for us. In May, we released designs of our proposed Osaka Integrated Resort – City of the Future. We have also participated in the Yokohama RFI and will participate in the Osaka RFC. With our focus on the Asian premium segment, high quality assets, dedication to world-class entertainment offerings, market-leading social safeguards and compliance culture, and our commitment to being an ideal partner to local governments and communities alike, we believe Melco is in a strong position to help Japan realize a vision for an integrated resort development with unique Japanese touch.”

City of Dreams Second Quarter Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, total operating revenues at City of Dreams were US$790.8 million compared to US$577.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. City of Dreams generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$250.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with Adjusted EBITDA of US$171.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of better performances in the rolling chip and mass market table games segments.

Rolling chip volumes totaled US$14.9 billion for the second quarter of 2019 versus US$10.5 billion in the second quarter of 2018. The rolling chip win rate was 3.16% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 2.88% in the second quarter of 2018. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.85% - 3.15%.

Altira Macau Second Quarter Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, total operating revenues at Altira Macau were US$104.3 million compared to US$123.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. Altira Macau generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$8.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with Adjusted EBITDA of US$18.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of softer performance in the rolling chip segment.

Rolling chip volumes totaled US$4.4 billion in the second quarter of 2019 versus US$4.8 billion in the second quarter of 2018. The rolling chip win rate was 2.95% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 3.65% in the second quarter of 2018. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.85% - 3.15%.

In the mass market table games segment, drop totaled US$150.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 versus US$131.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. The mass market table games hold percentage was 22.5% in the second quarter of 2019 compared with 19.7% in the second quarter of 2018.
   
Gaming machine handle for the second quarter of 2019 was US$83.5 million, compared with US$30.0 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average number of gaming machines to 171 in the second quarter of 2019, compared to 129 in the second quarter of 2018. The gaming machine win rate was 4.4% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 6.3% in the second quarter of 2018.

Studio City generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$94.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with Adjusted EBITDA of US$73.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of better performance in the mass market table games segment, partially offset by a softer performance in the rolling chip segment and lower non-gaming revenue.

Affected by the Macau market-wide VIP weakness, and by increasing competition in and around Cotai, Studio City’s rolling chip volumes totaled US$3.1 billion in the second quarter of 2019 versus US$6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2018. The rolling chip win rate was 2.76% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 2.66% in the second quarter of 2018. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.85% - 3.15%.

Mass market table games drop increased to US$877.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with US$814.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. The mass market table games hold percentage was 29.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2018.

With increased competition in the market, City of Dreams Manila’s rolling chip volumes totaled US$1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2019 versus US$3.0 billion in the second quarter of 2018.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$159.8 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2019 of which US$14.2 million was related to the amortization expense for our gaming subconcession and US$5.7 million was related to the amortization expense for the land use rights.

The Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City for the three months ended June 30, 2019 referred to in this report is US$12.3 million more than the Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in the earnings release for Studio City International Holdings Limited (“SCIHL”) dated July 24, 2019 (the “Studio City earnings release”). The Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in the Studio City earnings release includes certain intercompany charges that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City contained in this report. Such intercompany charges include, among other items, fees and shared service charges billed between SCIHL and its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Melco.

Total debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs at the end of the second quarter of 2019 was US$4.7 billion.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2019 were US$173.7 million, which predominantly related to an addition to our air transport fleet and various projects at City of Dreams.

Amendment of Dividend Policy 

To reaffirm Melco’s commitment to returning surplus capital to shareholders, our Board, after evaluating Melco’s current liquidity position and future expected capital needs, has amended its quarterly dividend policy from one targeting a quarterly cash dividend payment of US$0.0517 per ordinary share (equivalent to US$0.1551 per ADS, each representing three ordinary shares) of the Company to one targeting a quarterly cash dividend payment of US$0.05504 per ordinary share (equivalent to US$0.16512 per ADS) of the Company. 

The new dividend policy will take effect beginning with any dividends declared by our Board for the second quarter of 2019 and continue until amended or otherwise determined by our Board. Distribution of dividends under this new dividend policy is subject to the Company’s accumulated and future earnings, cash availability, future commitments and other factors the Board may deem relevant. 

Our Board will continue to review our dividend policy from time to time as part of our commitment to maximizing shareholder value, taking into consideration our financial performance and market conditions.

Dividend Declaration

On July 24, 2019, our Board considered and approved the declaration and payment of a quarterly dividend of US$0.05504 per ordinary share (equivalent to US$0.16512 per ADS) for the second quarter of 2019 (the “Quarterly Dividend”).

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (the “Company”) may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) growth of the gaming market and visitations in Macau and the Philippines, (ii) capital and credit market volatility, (iii) local and global economic conditions, (iv) our anticipated growth strategies, (v) gaming authority and other governmental approvals and regulations, and (vi) our future business development, results of operations and financial condition. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “target”, “aim”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “potential”, “continue”, “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions. Further information regarding these and other risks, uncertainties or factors is included in the Company’s filings with the SEC. All information provided in this press release is as of the date of this press release, and the Company undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.

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 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, Corporate and Other 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 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.
