LAS VEGAS, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) ("MGM Resorts" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"MGM Resorts achieved strong first quarter results across our portfolio in the face of the well anticipated comparison to last year's Super Bowl in Las Vegas, highlighted by a positive EBITDA performance at our BetMGM venture," said Bill Hornbuckle, Chief Executive Officer & President of MGM Resorts International. "We are well prepared for the remainder of 2025, and are making excellent progress on the implementation of $200 million EBITDA enhancements that launched last year, and expect to exceed $150 million in implementation in the year. MGM Resorts is strongly positioned with an outstanding team, globally recognized brands, and a diverse group of market leading operations that have benefited from significant capital investment. Our forward bookings remain solid and April is on track to be a record hotel month for our Las Vegas Strip operations."

"The equity market volatility has provided MGM Resorts with the opportunity to repurchase shares at very attractive valuations in the first quarter, which resulted in the repurchase of nearly 15 million shares for $494 million," said Jonathan Halkyard, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer of MGM Resorts International. "We continue to see significant value in our shares at current levels and our Board of Directors have authorized a new $2 billion share repurchase program."

First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

Consolidated Results

Consolidated net revenues of $4.3 billion, a decrease of 2% compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to a decrease in net revenues at the Las Vegas Strip Resorts and MGM China;
Net income attributable to MGM Resorts was $149 million in the current quarter compared to $217 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to the decrease in net revenues discussed above;
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $637 million in the current quarter compared to $673 million in the prior year quarter;

Las Vegas Strip Resorts

Net revenues of $2.2 billion in the current quarter compared to $2.3 billion in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 3% due primarily to a decrease in non-gaming revenues, primarily resulting from a decrease in ADR as a result of the Super Bowl being hosted in Las Vegas in the prior year quarter, partially offset by an increase in casino revenue; and
Segment Adjusted EBITDAR of $811 million in the current quarter compared to $828 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 2%. The current quarter included $37 million of business interruption insurance proceeds related to the September 2023 cybersecurity issue.

Regional Operations

Net revenues of $900 million in the current quarter, compared to $909 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 1%, due primarily to a decrease in casino revenue; and
Segment Adjusted EBITDAR of $279 million in the current quarter compared to $274 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 2%. The current quarter included $12 million of business interruption insurance proceeds related to the September 2023 cybersecurity issue.

MGM China

Net revenues of $1.0 billion in the current quarter compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 3% due primarily to a decrease in casino revenue driven by a decline in main floor table games drop compared to the prior year quarter; and
Segment Adjusted EBITDAR of $286 million in the current quarter compared to $301 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 5%.

MGM Digital ⁽¹⁾

Net revenues of $128 million in the current quarter, which was flat compared to the prior year quarter; and

"Segment Adjusted EBITDAR" is our reportable segment GAAP measure, which we utilize as the primary profit measure for our reportable segments and underlying operating segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is a measure defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, property transactions, net, triple net lease rent expense, loss from unconsolidated affiliates, and also excludes corporate expense and stock compensation expense, which are not allocated to each operating segment. Triple net lease rent expense is the expense for rent to landlords under triple net operating leases for its domestic properties, the ground subleases of Beau Rivage and MGM National Harbor, and the land concessions at MGM China.

"Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, and property transactions, net.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA information is a non-GAAP measure that is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because it is among the measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance, and because we believe this measure is widely used by analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors as a measure of operating performance in the gaming industry and as a principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies.

We believe that while items excluded from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends compared to other periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods being presented. Also, we believe excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when we are developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within our properties, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period.

However, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be construed as an alternative or substitute to any measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For example, we have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, while we believe that Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of performance, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to or substitute for operating income or net income as an indicator of our performance, or as an alternative to or substitute for cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

In addition, other companies in the gaming and hospitality industries that report Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA may calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner and such differences may be material. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is included in the financial schedules in this release.

"Adjusted EPS" is diluted earnings or loss per share adjusted to exclude property transactions, net, net gain/loss related to equity investments for which we have elected the fair value option of ASC 825 and equity investments accounted for under ASC 321 for which there is a readily determinable fair value and net gain/loss related to our investments in debt securities, foreign currency transaction net gain/loss, and change in the fair value of foreign currency contracts.

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because we believe this measure is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our continuing operations to assist investors in reviewing our operating performance over time. We believe that while certain items excluded from Adjusted EPS may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluating our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when comparing current performance to prior periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events. Also, we believe certain excluded items, and items further discussed with respect to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above, may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. Adjusted EPS should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP earnings per share as an indicator of our performance. In addition, Adjusted EPS may not be defined in the same manner by all companies and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to diluted earnings per share can be found under "Adjusted EPS" included in this release.

RevPAR is hotel revenue per available room.
