    MACAU, April 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (NASDAQ:MLCO) ("Melco" or the "Company"), a developer, owner, and operator of integrated resort facilities in Asia and Europe, today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2024.

    Total operating revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were US$1.11 billion, representing an increase of approximately 55% from US$716.5 million for the comparable period in 2023. The increase in total operating revenues was primarily attributable to the improved performance in all gaming segments and non-gaming operations, largely driven by the continued recovery in inbound tourism to Macau during the first quarter of 2024.

    Operating income for the first quarter of 2024 was US$125.4 million, compared with operating income of US$0.4 million in the first quarter of 2023.

    Melco generated Adjusted Property EBITDA(1) of US$298.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with Adjusted Property EBITDA of US$190.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.

    Net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the first quarter of 2024 was US$15.2 million, or US$0.03 per ADS, compared with net loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited of US$81.3 million, or US$0.18 per ADS, in the first quarter of 2023. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was US$14.6 million and US$19.4 million during the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively, all of which were related to Studio City, City of Dreams Manila, and City of Dreams Mediterranean and Other.

    Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We have had an eventful year so far. We have had a shift in management, our sales force has been restructured, we knocked down walls and started reconfiguring our gaming areas and opened several new retail outlets at Studio City – to name just a few of the initiatives taken so far. On the financing side, we repaid another US$250 million in debt, raised US$750 million in bonds, and extended the maturity of our US$1.9 billion revolving credit facility, significantly reducing our refinancing risk in 2025.

    "Our improving results in March and April reflect the marketing initiatives we have implemented and the new business we have generated since the management changes in late February, as we continue to focus on providing our patrons with the best premium experience available in Macau and lead the market in all areas of our business. We are extremely optimistic about the continued growth of gaming, entertainment and leisure in Macau and expect to maintain our leadership position with our exceptional portfolio of products.

    "City of Dreams Manila in the Philippines has continued to show solid results in the mass segment but was impacted by luck factors in VIP. City of Dreams Mediterranean and our satellite casinos in Cyprus exhibited positive cash flow through the first quarter despite continued conflicts in the region and we are cautiously optimistic that we can expand our business into the seasonally strong summer months."

Such intercompany charges include, among other items, fees and shared service charges billed between SCIHL and its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Melco.

Available liquidity, including cash and undrawn revolving credit facilities, as of March 31, 2024, was US$2.36 billion.

    Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2024 were US$36.4 million, which included costs related to the enhancement projects at City of Dreams in Macau and Studio City.

    Recent Developments

    On April 8, 2024, Melco extended the maturity date on its HK$14.85 billion (equivalent to US$1.92 billion) revolving credit facility from April 29, 2025 to April 29, 2027.

    In addition, on April 9, 2024, Melco, through its wholly owned subsidiary Melco Resorts Finance Limited ("Melco Resorts Finance"), announced that it had successfully priced an international offering of senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of US$750 million at a coupon of 7.625% due 2032 (the "MRF Notes"). The MRF Notes were issued and settled on April 17, 2024. The proceeds from the MRF Notes were used to repay loans drawn under Melco's revolving credit facility, and therefore the balance sheet impact of the MRF Notes is debt neutral.

    On April 8, 2024, Studio City Finance Limited ("Studio City Finance") announced that it initiated a cash tender offer for up to an aggregate principal amount of US$100,000,000 of its outstanding 6.000% senior notes due 2025 (the "SCF Notes" and such tender offer, the "Tender Offer"). The early tender period expired on April 19, 2024 (the "Early Tender Date") and at the Early Tender Date, valid tenders had been received (and not validly withdrawn) with respect to US$307,150,000 aggregate principal amount of the SCF Notes. An aggregate principal amount equal to US$100,029,000 of the tendered SCF Notes were accepted by Studio City Finance for repurchase and cancelled.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    (1)   "Adjusted EBITDA" is net income/loss 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"),   integrated resort and casino rent and other non-operating income and expenses. "Adjusted Property EBITDA" is net income/loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and other, share-based compensation, payments to the Philippine Parties, integrated resort and casino rent, 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 similar measures as supplements to financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in particular, U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards. However, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income/loss 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/loss, 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 recognizes these limitations and uses 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/loss, net income/loss, 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. The use of Adjusted Property EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as an analytical tool, as Adjusted Property EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA does not include all items that impact our net income/loss. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. 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/loss" is net income/loss before pre-opening costs, development costs and property charges and other, net of noncontrolling interests and taxes calculated using specific tax treatments applicable to the adjustments based on their respective jurisdictions. Adjusted net income/loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited and adjusted net income/loss 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/loss 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/loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited and adjusted net income/loss 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/loss 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.
