Melco Crown Entertainment Announces Unaudited Third Quarter 2015 Earnings and Declares Quarterly Dividend
Thu November 5, 2015 8:10 AM|GlobeNewswire | About: MPEL
MACAU, Nov. 05, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (MPEL) (Melco Crown Entertainment or the Company or we), a developer, owner and operator of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities in Asia, today reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2015.
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2015 was US$945.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 16% from US$1,124.1 million for the comparable period in 2014. The decline in net revenue was primarily attributable to lower rolling chip revenues and mass market table games revenues in Macau, partially offset by the net revenue generated by City of Dreams Manila, which started operations in December 2014.
Adjusted property EBITDA(1) was US$237.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to Adjusted property EBITDA of US$305.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. The 22% year-over-year decline in Adjusted property EBITDA was attributable to lower contribution from the group-wide rolling chip segment and mass market table games segment.
On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment for the third quarter of 2015 was US$33.2 million, or US$0.06 per ADS, compared with net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment of US$132.2 million, or US$0.24 per ADS, in the third quarter of 2014. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2015 of US$34.1 million was related to Studio City and City of Dreams Manila.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment, commented, Our results in the third quarter of 2015 were impressive, particularly given the challenging demand backdrop in Macau, with our Macau Property EBITDA expanding over 10% sequentially. This performance highlights our world-class gaming and non-gaming amenities and market-leading, premium-positioned flagship integrated resort, City of Dreams, together with our ongoing commitment to managing costs.
Our ability to compete strongly in the mass segment in a disciplined manner and our strict approach to cost management, particularly in marketing, player reinvestment and payroll expenses, is demonstrated by a greater than 200 basis point increase in our Macau Property EBITDA margins during the recent quarter.
I am delighted to announce the recent successful opening of our highly anticipated integrated resort in Macau, Studio City, which brings to Macau the most diversified entertainment-focused property ever contemplated in Macau. Our newest large-scale property represents a major milestone for our Company that enables us to further diversify our offering of entertainment-focused non-gaming attractions, which are unrivalled in Macau.
Studio City features a wide array of entertainment options for visitors of all ages to enjoy. The art-deco inspired façade houses the iconic Golden Reel the worlds only figure-8 Ferris wheel, as well as a 4D flight simulation ride, Batman Dark Flight; a 40,000-square-foot family entertainment center, Warner Bros. Fun Zone; an incredible live magical experience showcasing the world's greatest magicians, The House of Magic; Macaus first-ever Ibiza-style nightclub, Pacha Macau; and a 5,000-seat multi-purpose entertainment center, Studio City Event Center, hosting exciting live concerts, theatrical and top sports offerings in addition to award shows and other special feature events.
The property also delivers world-class accommodation at the approximately 1,600-room Studio City Hotel, and a diverse range of international restaurants, cafes and relaxed bars and lounges. Studio City also significantly expands our Companys retail capacity in Macau with over 35,000 square meters of distinctive retail showcasing sophisticated and prestigious fashion brands.
Studio Citys location directly adjacent to the Lotus Bridge immigration point, which connects with Hengqin Island, and a future station-point for the Macau Light Rapid Transit, provides a strategic location in Cotai, enabling the property to enjoy ideal access to visitors from the fast growing and increasingly important Hengqin Island.
We anticipate that Studio City will provide a strong complement to our current operating assets in Macau, allowing us to deepen our customer mix. The opening of Studio City highlights our Companys commitment to help evolve and greatly enhance Macaus non-gaming entertainment proposition, which in turn supports Macaus evolution into a multi-faceted entertainment destination. Studio City also deepens our investment in the local community by offering unique and rewarding career opportunities not currently available in Macau.
We thank the Macau and Central governments for their support and recognition of our Companys contribution to the true diversification of Macau into a world leading leisure and tourism destination.
In Manila, City of Dreams delivered 93% sequential growth in Property EBITDA, as a result of strong traction in the rolling chip segment and further expansion of its mass table and slot machine revenue. Hotel occupancy was maintained at a high 88% for the quarter. City of Dreams Manila maintained strong visitation statistics, leading all other integrated resorts in Manila, as its unique array of gaming and entertainment offerings continued to captivate patrons, both domestic and international. We believe that City of Dreams Manila is well positioned for long term success as Manila transforms into an exciting and diverse tourism destination for the region.

The number of gaming machines in operation at Mocha Clubs averaged approximately 1,200 in the third quarter of 2015, compared to approximately 1,300 in the comparable period in 2014.

We recorded US$40.3 million of capitalized interest during the third quarter of 2015, primarily relating to Studio City and the fifth hotel tower at City of Dreams.
The year-on-year decrease of US$4.2 million in net non-operating expenses was primarily due to higher capitalized interest in the current quarter, partially offset by higher interest expenses resulted from the drawdown of the Studio City US$1.3 billion term loan facility in late July 2014.

While we are focused on managing costs during this challenging demand environment, we remain fully committed to the long term development of our employees.
"As an employer of choice with a strong and deep heritage in Macau, we believe that our long term success is dependent on the hard work and dedication of our employees, and the development of Macau into a leading, multi-faceted leisure and tourism destination. The development of our employees and the ongoing support of the local community are evident in our market-leading training and community programs.
"The imminent opening of Studio City has created new and exciting employment opportunities for the community and our existing employees. We expect a meaningful number of our experienced colleagues to choose to take advantage of the new opportunities and new avenues to professional growth and development available at Studio City. Studio City will benefit from the sharing of the Company's core values and community spirit, and the industry expertise necessary to deliver market-leading services upon its opening. The lateral movement of employees facilitates the rationalization of our work force and is expected to allow us to realize potential cost-savings across all the relevant businesses at the time of opening.
"We are very excited about Studio City as our subsidiary embarks on the next major stage of development, with the opening of the Hollywood-inspired integrated resorton October 27, 2015. This latest large-scale integrated resort is designed to introduce to Macau a more diversified mix of entertainment than ever before and set to become a catalyst to the market, and substantially enhance Macau's appeal to an increasingly sophisticated Asian consumer who is continually seeking world-class, multi-faceted tourism experiences.
"Studio City, on track to meet its design and construction budget of US$2.3 billion, will complement our already unique and innovative portfolio of assets including City of Dreams, which remains the leading premium-focused integrated resort in Macau.
"Macau is currently experiencing a difficult period. However, we believe that through the strong leadership from the Macau and Chinese governments, the ongoing build-out of significant local and regional infrastructure, together with an expanding and increasingly affluent Chinese middle-to-upper-class, Macau remains the world's most important and exciting gaming market. We look forward to continuing our leadership role in the development of Macau into a truly diversified tourist destination.

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was US$1,054.3 million, representing a decrease of approximately 22% from US$1,357.3 million for the comparable period in 2014. The decline in net revenue was primarily attributable to lower group-wide rolling chip revenues and mass market table games revenues.
Adjusted property EBITDA(1) was US$253.3 million for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to Adjusted property EBITDA of US$387.5 million in the first quarter of 2014.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment for the first quarter of 2015 was US$60.6 million, or US$0.11 per ADS, compared with net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment of US$239.5 million, or US$0.44 per ADS, in the first quarter of 2014. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the first quarter of 2015 of US$36.8 million related to Studio City and City of Dreams Manila.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment, commented, "I am pleased to report a solid operating and financial performance for Melco Crown Entertainment in what continues to be a challenging period for Macau.
"While the demand environment in Macau remains challenging, we are firmly committed to maximizing customer experience and loyalty by leveraging our premium hotel rooms, food and beverage amenities and entertainment attractions. We are also firmly committed to maintaining a strict discipline on player reinvestment and operating costs, as demonstrated by our Macau Property EBITDA margins which remained flat sequentially despite declining revenues.
"With a market-leading array of premium non-gaming amenities, Melco Crown Entertainment once again received more Forbes-5 star awards than any other company in Macau. We believe this highlights City of Dreams and Altira's unique appeal to the most discerning and sophisticated customers in Macau.
"We have always strived to offer visitors a multi-faceted experience and have consistently supported the Macau Government's long term vision for Macau as a world-class leisure and tourism destination. Our support and commitment are highlighted by the diverse non-gaming amenities we offer, including our award winning The House of Dancing Water show which required an investment of over US$300 million to design and produce and has been viewed by over 3.2 million guests, Club Cubic, Macau's only cabaret show, Taboo, and our SOHO food and beverage and entertainment precinct.
"Studio City, which remains on budget and on schedule, signifies our Company's continued commitment to the diversification of Macau and it highlights our ability to bring unique, market-leading attractions to Macau. Studio City will provide a diverse and exciting mix of entertainment in Macau, including a Warner Bros. Batman-themed motion ride, a 40,000-square-foot family entertainment center, Asia's highest Ferris wheel, a TV production studio, a 5,000-seat multi-purpose live entertainment center, a live magic show precinct and Pacha nightclub.
"Studio City is conveniently located on Cotai and is directly adjacent to the Lotus Bridge immigration point connecting Hengqin Island and a future station-point for the Macau Light Rapid Transit. We believe that Studio City with its Hollywood-inspired design and exciting attractions will attract new customers and visitors to Macau.
"We remain firm believers in Macau's long term positioning as the leading leisure and tourism destination in the region. We believe that Macau's unique geographical position, the Macau and Central Government's forward-thinking and expansive infrastructure and development plan, and the diversification of the city's leisure and tourism offering all together provide a sustainable long term growth model. We look forward to continuing our leadership role as a provider of unique and world-class entertainment attractions and non-gaming amenities in Macau and our support for the long term vision for Macau.
"City of Dreams Manila continues to build on its early success, with its mass market gaming operations and non-gaming attractions delivering robust growth since its opening in December 2014. We believe that this growth, together with the junket business that is anticipated to develop over the coming months, positions the property to realize its potential as the leading integrated resort in the Philippines.
"City of Dreams Manila represents an important milestone for Melco Crown Entertainment as we embark on our plans to become the leading gaming, leisure and entertainment company in Asia. We are proud to be the first integrated resort operator in Entertainment City to be awarded a regular license from the Philippines government. We believe the Philippines offers a unique opportunity to participate in the expected strong consumer-led growth in Asia and we look forward to contributing to the expansion of the Philippines as a leading, multi-faceted tourist destination in the region."

Melco Crown Entertainment Announces Unaudited Second Quarter 2014 Earnings
Thu August 7, 2014 8:08 AM|GlobeNewswire | About: MPEL
MACAU, August 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (MPEL) ("Melco Crown Entertainment" or "the Company" or "we") (SEHK:6883) (Nasdaq:MPEL), a developer, owner and operator of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities in Asia, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2014.
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was US$1,199.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately 7% from US$1,295.0 million for the comparable period in 2013. The decline in net revenue was primarily attributable to lower group-wide rolling chip revenues, partially offset by improved mass market table games revenues.
Adjusted property EBITDA(1) was US$313.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to Adjusted property EBITDA of US$350.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. The 11% year-over-year decline in Adjusted property EBITDA was attributable to lower group-wide rolling chip volumes and rolling chip win rate, partially offset by growth in the mass market table games segment.
On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment for the second quarter of 2014 was US$143.6 million, or US$0.26 per ADS, compared with net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment of US$181.0 million, or US$0.33 per ADS, in the second quarter of 2013. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2014 of US$17.0 million related to Studio City and City of Dreams Manila.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment, commented, "In the second quarter of 2014 we delivered solid underlying financial performance, driven primarily by our mass market table games business at City of Dreams where revenues increased approximately 38% on a year-over-year basis.

Billionaire Packer linked to key Strip parcel
By HOWARD STUTZ
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
The long dormant site that once housed the New Frontier and was subject of the Strip’s most expensive real estate could become active once again.
Bloomberg News Service reported Thursday that Australian billionaire James Packer had acquired a portion of the loan covering the 34.5-acre site and would consider building a hotel-casino on the land.
Gaming sources declined comment on the potential project.
Union Gaming Group analyst Robert Shore told investors in a research note Thursday that “discussions, proposals, and even speculation around large-scale projects speak to ongoing and increasing interest in Las Vegas assets.”
Packer is majority owner of casino operator Crown Resorts in Australia and jointly owns Melco Crown Entertainment, a Hong Kong company that has casinos in Macau.
In April, his name surfaced as a potential buyer of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The property was sold a month later to a subsidiary of the Blackstone Group, a multinational private equity investment firm, for $1.73 billion in an all-cash transaction.
According to Bloomberg, Packer bought a piece of a loan backed by the empty Strip property and is negotiating a potential deal with other creditors including Oaktree Capital Group.
Two Israeli companies bought the New Frontier and the land across from Wynn Las Vegas for $1.2 billion — roughly $24.8 million an acre — in 2007. The aging hotel-casino was demolished.
The companies planned to build a $5 billion hotel-casino based on the Plaza Hotel in New York City, but the recession killed the project.
Oaktree, the world’s biggest distressed debt investor, now owns more than half of the abandoned project’s loans after buying the debt at a discount of as much as 50 percent, Bloomberg reported.
Alyssa Linn, a outside spokeswoman for Oaktree, said in an email to the Review-Journal the company “is declining to comment on this report.”
Packer — who has a net worth of $6.5 billion — is listed at No. 212 on the Forbes List of World Billionaires and is the No. 2 richest person in Australia. He has flirted with Las Vegas in past.
In 2009, Crown terminated a deal to purchase Cannery Casino Resorts for $1.8 billion and was forced to pay a breakup fee and other penalties totaling $320 million.
In 2007, the company ended plans for Crown Las Vegas, which was to be built on the Strip between the Sahara and Riviera. The Federal Aviation Administration rejected plans for a hotel tower of 1,888 feet, which would have been the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.
Shore said the investment community is again looking at the Strip’s northern land parcels because of recent activity in the surrounding area.
The $415 million SLS Las Vegas — a redevelopment of the former Sahara — opens Aug. 23. MGM Resorts International announced plans to develop a 33-acre permanent open-air concert venue across from SLS Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Malaysia-based Genting Berhad is expected to begin construction this year on the $4 billion Resorts World Las Vegas on the former Echelon site, which located next to the New Frontier parcel.
“(Packer) lends credence to the Strip recovery story, and has fueled the positive news flow centered on the North Strip in the recent months,” Shore said.
