Insights
The reported financial results of Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited exhibit a substantial increase in operating revenues, primarily due to the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions and the opening of new facilities. This significant growth, amounting to a 224% year-over-year increase for Q4, indicates a strong recovery trajectory for the company and the gaming industry in Macau. The performance metrics, particularly the Adjusted Property EBITDA turning positive from a negative value in the previous year, suggest a robust rebound in the gaming and non-gaming segments, which is a positive signal for investors and stakeholders.
However, the operating loss and net loss figures, despite improvements, raise concerns about the company's profitability in the short term. The impairment recognized in long-lived assets related to Altira Macau indicates a strategic reassessment, potentially due to changing market dynamics and the aftermath of the pandemic. This could signal a shift in focus or reallocation of resources within the company's portfolio of properties, which stakeholders should monitor closely.
Furthermore, the company's liquidity position, with a significant cash balance and reduced total debt, reflects a strengthened financial position that may support future growth initiatives and buffer against market volatility. The capital expenditure directed towards enhancement projects at key properties aligns with the company's strategy to enhance customer experience and maintain competitiveness in the market.
Analyzing the gaming-specific metrics, the rolling chip volume and mass market table games drop have shown remarkable year-over-year increases, indicative of the gaming sector's resurgence in Macau. However, the win rates for rolling chips at certain properties have fallen below the expected range, which could be a point of analysis for the company's gaming operations strategy. The mass market table games hold percentage, on the other hand, has seen an uptick, suggesting improved efficiency in operations or favorable customer play patterns.
The gaming machine handle and win rates also reflect increased customer engagement with the company's slot offerings. These metrics are crucial for understanding the health of the gaming floor and the potential revenue streams for the company. It is important to note the regional differences, such as the growth in City of Dreams Manila and the impact of regional conflicts on City of Dreams Mediterranean, which highlight the geopolitical risks and market-specific challenges that international gaming operators face.
Overall, the data suggests that Melco's strategic investments in new developments and enhanced gaming experiences are resonating with customers. However, the sustainability of this growth amidst potential macroeconomic uncertainties in China and the region warrants careful monitoring.
From a financial perspective, the reduction in net loss and improvement in Adjusted Property EBITDA are encouraging signs of recovery, reflecting operational efficiencies and effective cost management. The debt repayment and tender offer indicate proactive financial management and a commitment to reducing leverage, which is favorable for the company's credit profile. The capital structure and liquidity analysis reveal that Melco has a solid foundation to support its operational needs and strategic investments.
Investors should consider the long-term implications of the impairment charge for Altira Macau, which may affect future earnings potential and asset valuation. Additionally, the discrepancies in Adjusted EBITDA reported by Melco and Studio City International Holdings Limited warrant attention, as they may reflect differences in accounting practices or intercompany transactions that could impact the clarity of financial reporting.
The full-year results show a promising turnaround from the previous year's significant losses, which could signal a return to pre-pandemic performance levels if the positive trends continue. However, investors should remain cognizant of the volatile nature of the gaming industry and the potential for regulatory changes, particularly in Macau, which could influence the company's future financial health.

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 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, property charges and other and gain 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. |
