Melco Crown Entertainment Announces Third Quarter Earnings
November 17, 2009 at 7:21 AM EST

NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 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 third quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2009.

For the third quarter of 2009, net revenue was US$500.3 million, an increase of nearly 70% from US$295.2 million for the comparable period ending September 30, 2008. The increase in net revenue was driven by the opening of City of Dreams in June 2009.

Adjusted EBITDA (1) was US$55.6 million for the third quarter of 2009, as compared with US$20.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. The 167% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to the opening of City of Dreams.

On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded a net loss for the third quarter of 2009 of US$39.5 million, or US$0.08 per ADS, compared to a loss of US$21.1 million, or US$0.05 per ADS, in the third quarter of 2008. The year-over-year increase in the net loss was primarily due to increased depreciation and amortization expenses and lower capitalized interest following the opening of City of Dreams.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment commented, "Our third quarter results reflect the first full quarter of contribution from City of Dreams. Rolling chip and premium mass volumes at City of Dreams hit the ground running, and continue to perform in-line with our expectations. We are especially pleased that we have delivered a strong rolling chip performance at City of Dreams without any negative impact on volumes or operations at Altira Macau. Our estimated share of gross gaming revenue in Macau in the third quarter of 2009 was approximately 17%. It is important to note that our gross gaming revenue market share has been achieved with player rebate rates at City of Dreams set at a level that is compliant with the announced commission cap legislation.

"Our grind mass market business has demonstrated sequential volume improvements across the reporting quarter and this growth trend has continued into the fourth quarter of this year. We have not yet reached our full potential in this segment and the recent opening of the Grand Hyatt Macau is now having a positive impact on performance. We remain on target to complete and open a number of major new entertainment attractions at City of Dreams in the coming months as part of the second phase of development, which will culminate in the launch of the Dragone-inspired show at the Theater of Dreams in approximately six months' time.

"We remain confident in our outlook for Macau and believe our assets are strategically positioned to capitalize on the expected growth in the market."

City of Dreams 3Q Results

For the quarter ending September 30, 2009, net revenue at City of Dreams was US$287.7 million and adjusted EBITDA was US$46.6 million. Rolling chip volume totaled US$9.0 billion for the third quarter of 2009 and mass market table games drop (non rolling chip) totaled US$390 million. Slot handle was US$285 million.

Total non-gaming revenue at City of Dreams in the third quarter of 2009 was US$18.0 million. Occupancy per available room in the third quarter of 2009 was 92% and the average daily rate (ADR) was US$166 per occupied room.

Altira Macau 3Q Results

For the quarter ending September 30, 2009, net revenue at Altira Macau was US$182.6 million versus US$266.3 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2008. Altira Macau generated adjusted EBITDA of US$13.9 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared with US$20.5 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Rolling chip volume totaled US$9.8 billion for the third quarter of 2009, down from US$14.2 billion in the third quarter of 2008. In the mass market table games segment, drop (non rolling chip) totaled US$56.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, down from US$91.2 million generated in the third quarter of 2008.

Total non-gaming revenue at Altira Macau in the third quarter of 2009 was US$7.9 million, down from US$9.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. Occupancy per available room in the third quarter of 2009 was 93% and the average daily rate (ADR) was US$215 per occupied room. This compares with occupancy and ADR of 95% and US$238, respectively, in the third quarter of 2008.

The combined rolling chip table games hold percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) across City of Dreams and Altira Macau in the third quarter of 2009 was within our expected rolling chip hold percentage range of 2.7% to 3.0%. The company-wide mass market table games hold percentage (non rolling chip) in the third quarter of 2009 was 15.7%, which is slightly below our target hold percentage range of 16.0% to 18.0%.

Mocha Clubs 3Q Results

Net operating revenue from Mocha Clubs totaled US$24.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, up from US$24.2 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Mocha Clubs generated US$6.3 million of adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2009, which compares with US$6.7 million in the third quarter of 2008.

The number of gaming machines in operation at the Mocha Clubs averaged approximately 1,547 in the third quarter of 2009, an increase from an average of 1,029 in the third quarter of 2008. The net win per gaming machine per day was US$168 in this period, as compared with US$252 in the same period in 2008.

Total non-operating expenses for the third quarter of 2009 were US$14.7 million, which included US$12.2 million in net interest expense and other finance costs of US$3.0 million. Capitalized interest during the third quarter of 2009 totaled US$8.6 million. Pre-opening expenses, related entirely to the development of City of Dreams, were US$12.6 million for the third quarter of 2009.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$64.7 million were booked in the third 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.

Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2009 were US$117.9 million, essentially all of which were attributable to the development of City of Dreams.

Nine Month Results

For the nine months ending September 30, 2009, the Company reported net revenue of US$932.7 million versus US$1,162.6 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2008. The year-over-year decrease in net revenue was driven by lower rolling chip volume and lower rolling chip hold percentage at Altira Macau in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

The Company reported a net loss of US$218.8 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to net income of US$16.4 million for the first nine months of 2008. The net loss per ADS for the nine month period ending September 30, 2009 was US$0.46 compared to net income per ADS of US$0.04 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.
