Melco Announces Unaudited Fourth Quarter 2022 Earnings

MLCO

MACAU, March 01, 2023 (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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Total operating revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were US$337.1 million, representing a decrease of approximately 30% from US$480.6 million for the comparable period in 2021. The decrease in total operating revenues was primarily attributable to the heightened travel restrictions in Macau and mainland China related to COVID-19 during the quarter which led to softer performance in the rolling chip and mass market table games segments.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was US$199.5 million, compared with operating loss of US$104.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Melco generated negative Adjusted Property EBITDA(1) of US$6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with Adjusted Property EBITDA of US$94.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Net loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the fourth quarter of 2022 was US$251.9 million, or US$0.57 per ADS, compared with US$159.9 million, or US$0.34 per ADS, in the fourth quarter of 2021. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was US$42.1 million and US$30.0 million during the fourth quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, all of which were related to Studio City, City of Dreams Manila, and the Cyprus Operations.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our results for the fourth quarter of 2022 continued to be impacted by the travel restrictions imposed across mainland China and Macau. However, we are encouraged by the increased visitation and volume that we have seen since the travel restrictions between mainland China and Macau were relaxed on January 8, 2023. Our recent performance reinforces our belief in the return of pent-up demand and our view that Macau will continue to develop as a leading international destination for entertainment and leisure.

“We are honored to have been awarded a gaming concession to continue to operate in Macau for the next 10 years. We greatly appreciate the consideration given to our proposal and our investment propositions that we believe will continue to build on our existing strengths in entertainment and non-gaming attractions. We pledge our full support to the sustainable and diversified development of the tourism and leisure industry in Macau, and will continue to work with the Macau government, the community, and stakeholders to contribute to the city’s development as a leading global tourism destination.

“Gaming volumes in the Philippines have reached close to pre-pandemic levels, and volumes in Cyprus have exceeded those we had seen pre-pandemic. We are optimistic about continued growth in the Philippines and Cyprus as international travel normalizes.

“In respect to our development projects, we expect Studio City Phase 2 to open in the second quarter of 2023. The first stage of opening is expected to include one of our hotel towers and the indoor water park, which is expected to be the largest of its kind in Asia. The second phase of opening is expected to be in the third quarter. In Cyprus, we have been informed that the Council of Ministers has approved an extension of the deadline to open City of Dreams Mediterranean under the terms of our gaming license to June 30, 2023 and we continue to work with our contractors with a target to open within that timeframe.

“We remain steadfast on reaching our 2030 goals in environmental sustainability. We are monitoring food waste through the Winnow AI technology installed in the employee kitchens and dining areas and continuously adjust menus accordingly. Food waste has reduced by 50% at our employee dining room at City of Dreams Manila due to continued efforts in internal engagement initiatives. Food waste composted on site in both Macau and Manila increased by 30% overall compared to 2021 and usage of the compost for our properties green areas has continued to improve as a result of ongoing adjustments with our landscaping teams. We are also working towards achieving BREEAM certification for the completed construction of Studio City Phase 2 and City of Dreams Mediterranean, following the ‘Excellent’ ratings that we obtained for the design stage of both properties.”

Full Year Results

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited reported total operating revenues of US$1.35 billion versus US$2.01 billion in the prior year. The decrease in total operating revenues was primarily attributable to travel restrictions in Macau and mainland China related to COVID-19 during the year as well as the government mandated temporary closure of our casinos in Macau in July which led to softer performance in the rolling chip and mass market table games segments as well as lower non-gaming revenues.

The operating loss for 2022 was US$743.1 million, compared with an operating loss of US$577.5 million for 2021.

Melco generated Adjusted Property EBITDA of US$0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with Adjusted Property EBITDA of US$235.1 million in 2021.

Net loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for 2022 was US$930.5 million, or US$2.01 per ADS, compared with net loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited of US$811.8 million, or US$1.70 per ADS, for 2021. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was US$166.6 million and US$144.7 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively, all of which were related to Studio City, City of Dreams Manila and the Cyprus Operations.

Recent Developments

Since January 8, 2023, travelers arriving in Macau from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan were no longer required to present negative nucleic acid tests which thereby contributed to a 233% increase in Macau’s gross gaming revenue from MOP3.5 billion in December 2022 to MOP11.6 billion in January 2023 according to data reported by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau of Macau. In addition, in Macau, from February 27, 2023, masks are not required in outdoor places. However, masks are still required on public transportation (except taxis) and in certain indoor areas, such as medical facilities and elderly homes. Requirement to wear masks has been waived in most private indoor areas by their operators or supervisory entities.

While quarantine-free travel within Greater China has resumed, the pace of recovery remains highly uncertain, and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak continue to have a material adverse impact on our operations, financial position and future prospects into the first quarter of 2023.

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 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) COVID-19 outbreaks, and the continued impact of its consequences on our business, our industry and the global economy, (ii) risks associated with the newly adopted gaming law in Macau and its implementation by the Macau government, (iii) changes in the gaming market and visitations in Macau, the Philippines and the Republic of Cyprus, (iv) capital and credit market volatility, (v) local and global economic conditions, (vi) our anticipated growth strategies, (vii) gaming authority and other governmental approvals and regulations, and (viii) our future business development, results of operations and financial condition.

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 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”), land rent to Belle Corporation 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, 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/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. 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, property charges and other and loss on extinguishment of debt, 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.
