Melco Crown Entertainment Announces Second Quarter 2010 Earnings
July 28, 2010 at 8:08 AM EDT

NEW YORK, Jul 28, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --

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 ended June 30, 2010.

For the second quarter of 2010, net revenue was US$573.6 million, representing an increase of approximately 166% from US$215.8 million for the comparable period ended June 30, 2009. Adjusted EBITDA<1> was US$73.4 million for the second quarter of 2010, as compared with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of US$23.8 million in the second quarter of 2009. The year-over-year improvements in net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from the opening of City of Dreams in June 2009, providing only a limited contribution to the prior year comparable.

The combined rolling chip table games hold percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) across City of Dreams and Altira Macau in the second quarter of 2010 was 2.7%. On a theoretical adjusted basis, using the mid-point in our expected rolling chip hold percentage range of 2.7% to 3.0%, sequential quarterly Adjusted EBITDA improved by 11% from US$80 million in the first quarter of this year, to US$89 million in the second quarter of this year. The combined mass market (or non rolling chip) table games hold percentage in the second quarter of 2010 improved further to 21.5%.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, Melco Crown Entertainment recorded a net loss for the second quarter of 2010 of US$30.1 million, or a loss of US$0.06 per ADS, compared with a net loss of US$144.0 million, or a loss of US$0.30 per ADS, in the second quarter of 2009. The reduction in the net loss resulted from a significant year-over-year improvement in the operating performance of Altira Macau and from having a full quarter of earnings contribution from City of Dreams, partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization expenses and lower capitalized interest expenses following the opening of City of Dreams, together with certain non-recurring expenses related to the refinancing of approximately US$600 million of bank debt through the issuance of a high yield bond completed in the current reporting quarter. The second quarter 2009 net loss was also negatively affected by non-recurring costs associated with the opening of City of Dreams.

Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment commented, "Good progress has been made over the past quarter at City of Dreams, as we continue to derive benefits from the growth in our patron database and as our various brand building initiatives build momentum.

"Rolling chip volume at City of Dreams increased 24% quarter sequentially and we are pleased with the continued improvement in the underlying fundamentals of this part of our business.

"We delivered a 9% sequential quarterly increase in mass market table games revenue in the second quarter of 2010. We are seeing further modest improvement in our mass market business in the third quarter of this year and target a more marked step-up in mass market gaming volumes in the fourth quarter of this year on completion of the final planned phase of amenities at City of Dreams, the highlight of which will be the opening of The House of Dancing Water on September 17, 2010.

"Altira Macau continues to perform much better under the traditional VIP business model to which we transitioned late last year. Profitability continues to benefit from the commission cap implemented last December. A provision of US$9 million was taken in the reported quarter against an amount due from a former contracting party. This provision is considered to be non-recurring."

Management Restructuring

Melco Crown Entertainment announces the resignation of Greg Hawkins, President of City of Dreams, after approximately 5 years in Macau. Mr. Ho commented, "On behalf of the entire company, I'd like to extend our thanks to Greg for his contributions over the years and to wish him well in the next stage of his career."

In conjunction with the forthcoming departure of Mr. Hawkins, the Company has undertaken a comprehensive review of its operating management structure. As a result, Melco Crown Entertainment is also announcing the implementation, effective next month, of a new operating management structure organized along functional as opposed to dedicated property responsibilities, to be led by newly created Co-Chief Operating Officer positions.

Ted Chan, currently the President of Altira Macau, has been promoted to Co-COO, Gaming, overseeing gaming activities across the entire organization. Mr. Chan has been a pioneer in the transformation of the gaming industry in Macau in recent years and is uniquely qualified for this position. He has broad experience across the various customer segments in Macau, reaching back to 2004 when he was the CEO of Mocha Clubs. He is currently recognized as one of the leading experts in the VIP customer segment in Macau.

Nick Naples has joined Melco Crown Entertainment and has been named Co-COO, Operations. He will be responsible for all non-gaming operating activities across the entire company. Mr. Naples has deep experience in luxury hotel and gaming operations and has worked in Macau for the last four years. Mr. Naples most recently held the position of Consulting Executive Vice President at Sands China Ltd. and was previously the Chief Operating Officer at Macau Studio City. His prior experience includes positions with Harrah's Entertainment, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and Hyatt.

Both Mr. Chan and Mr. Naples will report directly to Mr. Lawrence Ho.

Mr. Ho commented, "The time is right to implement a new operating management structure that recognizes that we have evolved as an organization and reflects our more mature business model.

"This new structure will facilitate a more streamlined approach to managing the operations at our three properties and will allow our senior executives to be more focused on their functional areas of responsibility. I am confident that these changes will yield meaningful benefits to our operations, both in terms of revenue generation and resource efficiency."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1) "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, property charges and other, share-based compensation costs, and other non-operating income and expenses. "Adjusted property EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, property charges and other, share-based compensation costs, corporate and other expenses and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA are 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 and adjusted property 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 and adjusted property 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 and adjusted property EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property 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 and adjusted property EBITDA do 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 and adjusted property 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 and 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. Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property 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 (loss) income" is net (loss) income before pre-opening costs, property charges and other. Adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted net (loss) income 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 (loss) income may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of adjusted net (loss) income 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.
