MPEL Announces Third Quarter 2008 Earnings


NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq:MPEL) ("MPEL"), a developer and owner of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities, today reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2008.

For the third quarter of 2008, net revenue was US$295.2 million, up from US$113.3 million for the comparable period ending September 30, 2007. The revenue increase was primarily driven by substantially improved operating performance at Crown Macau, which opened during the second quarter 2007.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was US$20.8 million for the third quarter of 2008, up from a loss of US$9.8 million in the third quarter of 2007. Adjusting for the adverse hold variance from theoretical in the third quarter results in an increase in adjusted EBITDA to US$25.9 million. Actual hold at Crown Macau year to date is in line with theoretical at 2.85%.

The Company recorded a net loss for the third quarter of 2008 of US$21.1 million, or US$0.05 per ADS, compared to a net loss of US$45.2 million, or US$0.11 per ADS, in the third quarter of 2007.

Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MPEL, commented, "Our capital raising efforts in 2007 in both the equity and debt markets have put us in a strong position relative to most of our peers in the industry. Phases I and II of City of Dreams are fully funded, and the project remains on timetable to open Phase I in the first half of next year. Our performance against budget remains unchanged from previous announcements. We held approximately US$886 million of cash in our balance sheet at the end of the third quarter and had undrawn credit facilities available, subject to satisfaction of the relevent conditions precedent, of an additional US$764 million. We forecast to spend in real cash terms approximately US$1.1 billion on construction activities and pre-opening preparations at City of Dreams in the time between the start of the current quarter and the opening of Phase I in the first half of next year. We expect that City of Dreams will be cash generative immediately following the opening of its Phase I, but even ignoring this future operating cash flow, it is important to stress that we have sufficient liquidity available to us today to complete and open Phases I and II at City of Dreams.

"Our outlook for the Macau market remains strong and we are confident that City of Dreams will set a new standard for casino development in Macau. The tempered supply growth outlook for the market will benefit City of Dreams, and a more staggered pattern of project openings will allow the market's tourism infrastructure to catch up with supply.

"We have commenced interior fit out throughout the podium and within the Hard Rock Hotel and Crown Towers Hotel. Phase II of City of Dreams, consisting of the Grand Hyatt Macau twin towers and the Theater of Dreams, is on track to open in the third quarter of 2009. Recruitment for City of Dreams is well underway and we have developed aggressive human resources outreach programs in Macau, as well as hosting a number of successful recruitment events in cities throughout China.

"At Crown Macau, we continue to believe that the implementation of commission caps will enhance our competitive position in the market and drive improved profitability. That said, market conditions remain challenging, and, in response, we are announcing further developments to the property to concentrate on the Asian VIP junket market.

"The property will continue to provide a contemporary and up-market offering to its junket customers. However, we have identified various ways which will deliver a variety of overhead reduction initiatives that are designed to improve margins without compromising the player experience. We believe these measures will yield annualized operating cost savings of approximately US$25 million, starting in December 2008.

"At the same time I am very pleased to announce the return to MPEL of Ted Chan Ying Tat as the President of the Crown Macau property with immediate effect. Ted's expertise in the rolling chip market will be a tremendous asset to us as we continue to concentrate on the rolling chip segment of the market.

"As part of these changes, we are working on a new brand for the Crown Macau property and will make a further announcement in the coming weeks. The prestigious Crown brand and its associated six-star experience will in the future have its sole focus in Macau within the Crown Towers precinct at City of Dreams. Specifically, the Crown Towers precinct encompasses the Crown Towers hotel, VIP gaming salons and high end restaurants at City of Dreams targeting the VIP direct player market. MPEL believes City of Dreams, with its combined focus on mass market and VIP gaming, as well as world class entertainment, restaurants and retail, will be an excellent representation of the standards of luxury and service for which the Crown brand is famous.

"Finally, we announce the recent decision taken by Garry Saunders, Chief Operating Officer, to resign from the Company for personal reasons and I would like to extend our thanks to Garry for his support over the past couple of years."

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

(1) "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, stock-based compensation costs, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors. MPEL also presents adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way 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 as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of MPEL's performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditure or the cost of capital. MPEL compensates for these limitations by using adjusted EBITDA as only one of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Such GAAP measurements include operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operations and cash flow data. MPEL has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. Also, MPEL's calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
