Insights

Monarch Casino & Resort's Q2 2024 results demonstrate a solid performance in a competitive market environment. The company reported record Q2 net revenue of $128.1 million, up 3.6% year-over-year and adjusted EBITDA of $43.9 million, a 4.3% increase. These figures, along with the slight improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin to 34.3%, indicate efficient operations and cost management.

The growth was primarily driven by Monarch Black Hawk, which saw revenue increases across all business segments. This property's success in attracting mid- and upper-tier players from the Denver market is a positive sign for future growth potential.

Atlantis, while facing a competitive Reno market, is undergoing significant renovations. The completion of 125 redesigned hotel rooms is part of a broader strategy to enhance the property's appeal. This ongoing investment, set to finish by Q2 2025, could position Atlantis well for future growth, though short-term disruptions may impact performance.

The company's financial position remains strong, with $33.5 million in cash and only $23 million in outstanding debt. This provides flexibility for future investments, dividends and share repurchases. The declaration of a $0.30 per share dividend and the repurchase of 452,464 shares for $30.5 million demonstrate confidence in the company's financial health and commitment to shareholder returns.

However, investors should note the slight increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue and the rise in casino operating expenses. These could pressure margins if not managed carefully in the future.

Monarch's Q2 2024 results reflect the broader trends in the regional casino market. The 3.6% revenue growth outpaces inflation, suggesting real growth in customer spending and potentially market share gains. This performance is particularly noteworthy given the challenging macroeconomic environment and increased competition in the gaming industry.

The success of Monarch Black Hawk in attracting higher-tier players from Denver highlights the importance of location and target market segmentation in the casino industry. This property's performance could serve as a case study for other regional casinos looking to tap into affluent urban markets.

The ongoing room renovations at Atlantis represent a significant investment in the property's future. While this may cause short-term disruptions, it's a necessary step to remain competitive in the Reno market. The Wine Spectator awards for both properties' restaurants also underscore Monarch's commitment to offering a high-quality, diverse experience beyond gaming.

The company's capital allocation strategy, balancing property investments, dividends and share repurchases, appears well-aligned with current market expectations for mature gaming companies. The $30.5 million in share repurchases is particularly notable, as it represents a significant return of capital to shareholders and could be seen as a signal of management's confidence in the company's valuation.

Looking ahead, Monarch's mention of potential M&A activity is intriguing. In a consolidating industry, strategic acquisitions could provide new avenues for growth and geographic diversification, potentially reducing the company's reliance on its two current properties.

CEO Comment
John Farahi, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monarch, commented: “In the 2024 second quarter, net revenue and adjusted EBITDA grew to all-time second quarter records of $128.1 million and $43.9 million, respectively. Our continued focus on operational efficiency resulted in an improvement to the adjusted EBITDA margin to 34.3% from 34.1% in the same period of the prior year.

“Monarch Black Hawk generated revenue growth across all its business segments and expanded its adjusted EBITDA margin. The property continued to attract mid- and upper- tier players from the greater Denver market. Recently, the property’s Bistro Mariposa and Monarch Chophouse were honored with Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence, joining Bistro Napa and Atlantis Steakhouse at Atlantis in receiving a prestigious Wine Spectator award.

“At Atlantis, during the 2024 second quarter, we completed the redesign and upgrade of 125 additional hotel rooms, leaving us with 246 total rooms to complete. We intend to have all 817 hotel rooms and suites redesigned and upgraded by the end of the second quarter of 2025. While Reno remains a very competitive market, we believe our focus on operational efficiency and property enhancements through major capital investments will keep us competitive and will be financially rewarding over the long-term.”

Summary of 2024 Second Quarter Operating Results
In the 2024 second quarter, the Company generated net revenue of $128.1 million, an increase of 3.6% from $123.7 million in the corresponding prior-year quarter. Casino, food and beverage (“F&B”), and hotel revenues increased 3.1%, 1.0% and 9.0% year-over-year, respectively. The revenue increase was driven primarily by ongoing growth at Monarch Black Hawk.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $26.2 million compared to $25.0 million in the corresponding prior-year period, driven primarily by increases in labor expense, repair and maintenance expense, and advertising and promotional expenses. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expense increased to 20.4% compared to 20.2% in the corresponding prior-year period. Casino operating expense as a percentage of casino revenue increased to 37.7% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to 37.4% in the same period a year ago, primarily due to increased labor expense. F&B operating expense as a percentage of F&B revenue was 73.8% compared to 72.3% in the prior-year period due to increased cost of goods sold and an increase in operating supplies expense. Hotel operating expense as a percentage of hotel revenue decreased to 33.5% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 36.2% in the same period a year ago, primarily due to an increase in the Average Daily Rate and improved cost management.

In the 2024 second quarter, net income increased 1.2% and diluted EPS increased 4.4% compared to the same period last year. The Company generated 2024 second quarter consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $43.9 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 4.3%, over the same period a year ago.

Credit Facility and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $33.5 million and an outstanding principal balance of $23.0 million under its credit facility.

Capital expenditures of $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 were funded from operating cash flows, cash on hand and borrowings against the Company’s credit facility, and included the completion of the redesign and upgrade of 125 guest rooms at Atlantis, as well as ongoing maintenance capital expenditures at both properties.

On June 15, 2024, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.30 per share to its stockholders of record on June 1, 2024. The cash dividend was funded from operating cash flows, cash on hand and borrowings against the Company’s credit facility.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company purchased 452,464 shares of its common stock on the open market for an aggregate amount of $30.5 million under its existing Repurchase Plan. The purchases were funded from operating cash flows, cash on hand and borrowings against the Company’s credit facility.

With a strong balance sheet and free cash flow, we believe that we are favorably positioned to continue investing in our properties, paying cash dividends, and buying back stock under our existing stock repurchase authorization. We also continue to diligently evaluate potential M&A transactions, which we believe can drive additional attractive long-term value for our stockholders.

Quarterly Dividend Declaration
The Company announced today a cash dividend of $0.30 per share of its outstanding common stock. The dividend is payable on September 15, 2024, to stockholders of record on September 1, 2024. This cash dividend is part of the previously announced annual cash dividend of $1.20 per share payable in quarterly payments and subject to quarterly review and evaluation by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as determined in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), as an indicator of Monarch's operating performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with US GAAP) or as a measure of liquidity. This measure enables comparison of Monarch's performance over multiple periods, as well as against the performance of other companies in our industry that report Adjusted EBITDA, although some companies do not calculate this measure in the same manner and, therefore, the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Monarch defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net revenue.
