Thursday, November 03, 2011

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) today reported improved financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. Diluted earnings per share attributable to MGM Resorts International was a loss of $0.25 per share compared to a loss of $0.72 per share in the prior year third quarter. The current quarter included an impairment charge of $0.11 per share compared to impairment charges of $0.51 in the prior year period.  The current quarter results also include a full quarter of results related to MGM China Holdings Limited (?MGM China?), which the Company began consolidating as of June 3, 2011.

Key results for the third quarter of 2011 included the following:

  • Consolidated net revenue was $2.2 billion compared to $1.6 billion in the prior year quarter; excluding MGM China, consolidated net revenues increased 3% compared to the prior year quarter;
  • Rooms revenue from wholly owned domestic resorts increased 11% with a 13% increase in REVPAR(1) at the Company?s Las Vegas Strip resorts;
  • Consolidated operating income was $113 million compared to an operating loss of $206 million in the third quarter of 2010;
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $444 million in the 2011 quarter compared to $280 million in the 2010 quarter;
  • The Company?s wholly owned domestic resorts earned Adjusted Property EBITDA of $348 million, up 10% compared to the prior year quarter;
  • MGM China?s Adjusted Property EBITDA was $139 million ($150 million before branding fees) compared to $84 million in the prior year quarter; and
  • CityCenter?s Adjusted Property EBITDA related to resort operations increased 26% to $50 million.

?Our results show the inherent operating leverage in our business as this quarter represents the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue, Adjusted Property EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA margin growth for our wholly owned domestic resorts.  Our forward booking trends remain strong both for our consumer retail segments and corporate events,? said Jim Murren, MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO.  ?MGM China?s operating trends continue to improve with cash flow before branding fees increasing approximately 80% year-over-year.  We are extremely pleased with our Cotai development plans while at the same time have some exciting expansion opportunities within our existing MGM Macau property.?

Certain Items Affecting Third Quarter Results

In the current quarter, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $80 million (or $0.11 per share, net of tax) related to Circus Circus Reno. The prior year quarter results include impairment charges totaling $357 million (or $0.51 per diluted share, net of tax) consisting of impairment charges of $191 million related to the Company?s investment in CityCenter, $38 million related to CityCenter?s residential real estate inventory, and $128 million related to the Company?s Borgata investment.

Casino revenue related to wholly owned domestic resorts decreased 2% compared to the prior year quarter. The overall table games hold percentage in the third quarter of 2011 was near the low end of the Company?s normal range of 19% to 23%. The overall table games hold percentage in the prior year was near the mid-point of the Company?s normal range.  Slots revenue increased 4% compared to the prior year quarter, with an increase of 6% at the Company?s Las Vegas Strip resorts.

Operating income for the Company?s wholly owned domestic resorts for the third quarter of 2011 was $130 million.  Operating income was negatively affected by an $80 million impairment charge at Circus Circus Reno related to the carrying value of its long-lived assets. Excluding the impairment charge, operating income increased 28% compared to the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted Property EBITDA was $348 million in the 2011 quarter, a 10% increase compared to $315 million in the 2010 quarter.

MGM China

The following are the key results for MGM China on a pro forma basis:

  • MGM China earned net revenues of $623 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $362 million in the third quarter of 2010.  The increase was driven by year-over-year increases in volume for VIP table games, main floor table games, and slots of 83%, 13%, and 52%, respectively. VIP table games hold percentage was within our expected range of 2.7% to 3.0% in the current and prior year periods; and
  • Adjusted Property EBITDA increased to $139 million and included approximately $11 million of expense related to the branding agreement between MGM China and an entity jointly owned by the Company and Ms. Pansy Ho.

MGM China completed its initial public offering of shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on June 3, 2011 and the Company acquired an additional 1% interest in MGM China, which owns the MGM Macau resort and casino. This acquisition increased the Company?s ownership interest to 51% and, as a result, the Company began consolidating MGM China as of June 3, 2011. Prior to June 3, 2011, the results of MGM Macau were accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The schedules accompanying this release provide pro forma information for MGM China, presented for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, as if the acquisition of the Company?s controlling interest occurred as of January 1, 2010.

  • Adjusted Property EBITDA from resort operations was $50 million, an increase of 26% compared to the prior year quarter;
  • Aria?s Adjusted Property EBITDA was $40 million.  Aria?s hold percentage was above the high end of its normal range in the current quarter, but lower than the prior year hold percentage by approximately 400 basis points;
  • Aria?s occupancy percentage was 87% and its ADR was $200, resulting in REVPAR of $173, a 22% increase compared to the prior year third quarter;
  • Vdara earned $5 million in Adjusted Property EBITDA; and
  • Crystals earned $6 million in Adjusted Property EBITDA.

Financial Position

In September 2011, the Company borrowed an additional $879 million under its senior credit facility to increase its capacity for issuing additional secured indebtedness; these borrowings were repaid immediately after quarter end. As a result, the Company had a higher than normal cash balance at September 30, 2011 of $1.8 billion, which also included approximately $494 million of cash and cash equivalents related to MGM China.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $13.6 billion of indebtedness (with a carrying value of $13.5 billion) including approximately $551 million of borrowings outstanding on the MGM Macau credit facility. Giving effect to the repayment it made on October 3, 2011, the Company had approximately $1.2 billion of available borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility.

?We continue to make strategic investments to maximize earnings and are focused on domestic and international expansion opportunities,? said Dan D?Arrigo, MGM Resorts International Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer.  ?We believe cash flow at our wholly owned resorts, CityCenter and MGM China will continue to improve, allowing us to further strengthen our balance sheet.?

(1) REVPAR is hotel Revenue per Available Room.

(2)?Adjusted EBITDA? is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, and property transactions, net, and the gain on the MGM China transaction.  ?Adjusted Property EBITDA? is Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expense and stock compensation expense related to the MGM Resorts stock option plan, which is not allocated to each property. MGM China recognizes stock compensation expense related to its stock compensation plan which is included in the calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA for MGM China.  Adjusted EBITDA information is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes these measures are 1) widely used measures of operating performance in the gaming industry, and 2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. 

Management believes that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of the Company?s 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, management believes excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. For example, pre-opening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when the Company is 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 the Company?s resorts, 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.

In addition, capital allocation, tax planning, financing and stock compensation awards are all managed at the corporate level. Therefore, management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary measure of the Company?s operating resorts? performance.
