Melco Crown Entertainment Reports Second Quarter 2009 Earnings


NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq:MPEL), a developer and owner of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities focused on the Macau market, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2009.

For the second quarter of 2009, net revenue was US$215.8 million, down from US$384.6 million for the comparable period ending June 30, 2008. The decrease in net revenue was the result of greater rolling chip volume at Altira Macau in the second quarter of 2008, combined with low rolling chip hold percentages at Altira Macau and City of Dreams in the second quarter of 2009.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was a loss of US$23.8 million for the second quarter of 2009, as compared to a gain of US$36.4 million in the second quarter of 2008. The EBITDA loss in the second quarter of 2009 was largely attributable to lower than expected rolling chip hold percentages achieved at City of Dreams and Altira Macau. Assuming that both properties had achieved a theoretical rolling chip hold percentage of 2.85%, adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2009 would have been US$15.2 million.

Adjusted net loss(2) for the second quarter of 2009 was US$78.5 million, or US$0.17 per ADS, compared to an adjusted net loss of US$1.7 million in the second quarter of 2008, or US$0.004 per ADS. The increase in adjusted net loss was driven primarily by the aforementioned factors, as well as incremental depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the opening of City of Dreams, combined with an increase in non-capitalized loan interest expense in the quarter under review.

On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded a net loss for the second quarter of 2009 of US$144.0 million, or US$0.30 per ADS, compared to a loss of US$5.7 million, or US$0.01 per ADS, in the second quarter of 2008. The net loss in the second quarter of 2009 was negatively affected by non-recurring, pre-opening expense in the quarter of US$61.3 million and a non-recurring US$3.2 million write down in the carrying value of various project assets.

Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment commented, "The reporting quarter marks a major step change for our Company. Our transition from a company primarily focused on development, to a company primarily focused on operations, happened with the seamless opening of our flagship property City of Dreams, on time and on budget, on June 1, 2009.

"We are still in the early stages of ramping up our business and believe that we have additional room for growth as we execute on our various marketing and yield management initiatives. The Grand Hyatt Macau is on track to open by the end of the current quarter, which should be a significant driver of gaming revenue and market share. As we reported on August 3, 2009, the sequential improvement in mass table drop and rolling chip volume at City of Dreams between the first and second months of operations was 33% and 36%, respectively. Media sources indicate that our market share jumped from 9% in June to 18% in July.

Mr. Ho continued, "We held approximately US$660 million of cash at the end of the second quarter, and we expect to have approximately US$176 million of capital expenditures at City of Dreams in the current quarter. Our capital expenditures for phases one and two at City of Dreams will be essentially complete with the opening of the Grand Hyatt Macau.

"With a construction program nearing completion, a stable management team, and a strong balance sheet, we will continue to focus our management attention on the continued execution of our operating plans for City of Dreams, against a macro environment in the mass market which is, in our assessment, likely to materially improve during the remainder of this year."

City of Dreams 2Q Results

City of Dreams opened on June 1 and contributed one full month of operating performance to our second quarter results in 2009.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2009, net revenue at City of Dreams was US$26.8 million and adjusted EBITDA was a loss of US$12.2 million.

Rolling chip volume totaled US$1.94 billion for the second quarter of 2009 and the rolling chip table games hold percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) was 0.79%. Our target rolling chip hold percentage is 2.85%. Assuming that the property had held at 2.85% in the second quarter of 2009, adjusted EBITDA would have been US$3.0 million.

In the mass market table games segment, drop (non rolling chip) totaled US$100.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 and the mass market table games hold percentage was 16.4%. Our target hold percentage for mass market table games is 16.0%-18.0%.

Total non-gaming revenue at City of Dreams in the second quarter of 2009 was US$4.8 million. Occupancy per available room in the second quarter of 2009 was 78% and the average daily rate (ADR) was US$176 per occupied room.

Altira Macau 2Q Results

For the quarter ending June 30, 2009, net revenue at Altira Macau was US$159.2 million versus US$361.1 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2008. Altira Macau generated an adjusted EBITDA loss of US$6.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with a gain of US$39.6 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Rolling chip volume totaled US$9.68 billion for the second quarter of 2009, down from US$18.51 billion in the second quarter of 2008. The rolling chip table games hold percentage in the second quarter of 2009 (calculated before discounts and commissions) was 2.45% versus 2.71% recorded in the second quarter of 2008. Our target rolling chip hold percentage is 2.85%. Assuming that the property had held at 2.85% in the second quarter of 2009, adjusted EBITDA would have been US$18 million.

In the mass market table games segment, drop (non rolling chip) totaled US$73.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, down from US$93.4 million generated in the second quarter of 2008. The mass market table games hold percentage was 13.9% in the second quarter of 2009, below our expected range for mass market table games hold percentage of 16.0%-18.0%. The mass market table games hold percentage for the second quarter of 2008 was 14.7%.

Total non-gaming revenue at Altira Macau in the second quarter of 2009 was US$8.3 million, down from US$9.7 million in the second quarter of 2008. Occupancy per available room in the second quarter of 2009 was 90% and the average daily rate (ADR) was US$232 per occupied room. This compares with occupancy and ADR of 97% and US$236, respectively, in the second quarter of 2008.

An incremental one-off specific bad debt provision totaling US$3.9 million was booked in the second quarter 2009, recognizing the continued challenges facing broader global economic conditions.

Mocha Clubs 2Q Results

Net operating revenue from Mocha Clubs totaled US$23.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, up from US$22.3 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Mocha Clubs generated US$6.1 million of adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2009, which compares with US$5.9 million in the second quarter of 2008.

The number of gaming machines in operation at the Mocha Clubs averaged approximately 1,440 in the second quarter of 2009, an increase from an average of 1,070 in the second quarter of 2008. The net win per gaming machine per day was US$178 in this period, as compared with US$228 in the same period in 2008.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Total non-operating expenses for the second quarter of 2009 were US$3.6 million, which included US$3.9 million in net interest expense and other finance costs of US$1.4 million, partially offset by a US$0.6 million net foreign exchange gain. Capitalized interest during the second quarter of 2009 totaled US$17.0 million. Pre-opening expenses, related entirely to the development of City of Dreams, were US$61.3 million for the second quarter of 2009.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$48.0 million were booked in the second quarter of 2009, of which US$14.3 million was related to the amortization of our gaming sub-concession and US$4.5 million was related to the amortization of land use rights.

Financial Position and Capital Expenditure

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2009 totaled US$655.6 million. Total outstanding debt at the end of the second quarter of 2009 was US$1.80 billion, of which US$115.6 million represented loans from the company's two major shareholders. Total debt to shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2009 was 74%.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2009 were US$381.5 million, essentially all of which were attributable to the development of City of Dreams.

Six Month Results

For the six months ending June 30, 2009, the Company reported net revenue of US$432.3 million versus US$867.5 million in the six months ending June 30, 2008. The year-over-year decrease in net revenue was driven by lower rolling chip volume at Altira Macau in the first six months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 and lower rolling chip hold percentage in 2009 as compared to 2008.

The Company reported a net loss of US$179.3 million for the first six months of 2009, compared to a net gain of US$37.5 million for the first six months of 2008. The net loss per ADS for the six month period ending June 30, 2009 was US$0.39 compared to a net gain per ADS of US$0.09 for the same period in 2008.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

(1) "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, property charges and other, 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. The Company 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 the Company'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 expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company 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. The Company 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, the Company's calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA with the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with 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, property charges and other. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share ("EPS") are presented as supplemental disclosures because management believes that 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 and EPS computed in accordance with GAAP, as an additional basis for assessing period-to-period results of our business. Adjusted net income (loss) may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of adjusted net income (loss) with the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided herein immediately following the financial statements included in this press release.
