Melco Crown Entertainment Announces Third Quarter 2011 Earnings
November 10, 2011 at 7:53 AM EST

NEW YORK, Nov 10, 2011 (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 third quarter of 2011.

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was US$1,056.0 million, representing an increase of approximately 45% from US$727.0 million for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in net revenue from the third quarter of 2010 was primarily a result of group-wide increases in rolling chip and mass market gaming volumes, significant improvements in mass market hold rates, and meaningful contributions from hotel sales, food and beverage outlets and other non-gaming amenities, including a full quarter of contribution from The House of Dancing Water.

Adjusted EBITDA<1> was US$240.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 76% from US$136.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2010. The significant increase in profitability was driven by the continued and sustained improvements in mass market operations at City of Dreams, strong rolling chip volumes at both City of Dreams and Altira Macau along with a consistent approach to junket commissions, and strong contributions from non-gaming segments, such as hotel, food and beverage and The House of Dancing Water, while maintaining our ongoing company-wide cost control focus.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment for the third quarter of 2011 was US$113.3 million, or US$0.21 per ADS, compared with net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment of US$15.8 million, or US$0.03 per ADS, in the third quarter of 2010. Record net income for the third quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to ongoing improvements in gaming and non-gaming operations across all operating segments, particularly at City of Dreams, partially offset by increased interest costs from the high yield and RMB denominated bonds, higher depreciation associated with The House of Dancing Water, increased amortization relating to Studio City's land use rights and transaction costs attributable to the proposed Hong Kong dual listing. The net loss attributable to non-controlling interests during the third quarter of 2011 of US$2.1 million was related to Studio City.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment, commented, "I am delighted to announce another quarter of record Adjusted EBITDA and net income for our Company, representing the ninth consecutive quarter of sequential improvement in hold-adjusted EBITDA. These results build on the significant achievements delivered through the first half of 2011 and demonstrate our ability to deliver sustained high-quality results, with strong company-wide performance across all segments, despite the introduction of additional supply in the market.

"We continue to show our ability to execute on our premium strategy in both the mass market and VIP segments by focusing on providing premium quality service, unique entertainment experiences and products to our target customer base, supported by world class and best of breed facilities and attractions at City of Dreams and Altira Macau. This diversified portfolio enables us to capture the rapidly expanding Macau gaming market and target multiple customer segments.

"Our Studio City project continues to move closer towards realization. We are nearing the final stages of our design plans, while working closely with the Macau Government to complete the necessary approval process. We also continue to evaluate financing plans in relation to this project, including a bank loan and other debt financing. This exciting new development further demonstrates our confidence in the region's long term growth prospects and our desire to support and meaningfully contribute to the development and diversification of the leisure and tourism offering in Macau, while creating career opportunities for our team members and driving shareholder value. Moreover, this project will complement our current portfolio of assets and will meaningfully increase our presence in Cotai.

"In relation to our previously announced proposed dual-listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange, we continue to work through the necessary steps with the relevant Hong Kong regulators, while at the same time monitoring the market conditions to ensure we maintain full flexibility as it relates to our capital structure."

City of Dreams 3Q Results

For the third quarter of 2011, net revenue at City of Dreams was US$687.2 million compared to US$504.0 million in the comparable period in 2010, an increase of 36%. City of Dreams generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$170.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 48% when compared to US$114.9 million in the third quarter of 2010.

The year-over-year improvements were driven by a significant increase in rolling chip and mass market volumes, meaningful and sustainable improvements in mass market hold percentages, as well as strong contributions from hotel sales and The House of Dancing Water, partially offset by a lower win rate in the rolling chip segment.

Rolling chip volume for the third quarter of 2011 totaled US$20.3 billion, an increase of 41% from US$14.4 billion from the third quarter of 2010. The rolling chip win rate was 3.1% in the third quarter of 2011, lower than the win rate in the comparable quarter in 2010 of 3.4%, and slightly above the expected range for rolling chip win rate of 2.7% - 3.0%.

Mass market table games drop for the third quarter of 2011 totaled US$730.8 million, an increase of 40% from US$523.7 million for the comparable period in 2010. The mass market hold percentage was 25.5% in the third quarter of 2011, a significant increase from 21.3% in the third quarter of 2010. At City of Dreams, we expect our mass market table games hold percentage to range from 23%-26%.

Slot handle for the third quarter of 2011 was US$530.2 million, up 21% from US$437.3 million for the comparable period in 2010.

Total non-gaming revenue at City of Dreams in the third quarter of 2011 was US$55.1 million, an increase of 74% from US$31.7 million for the third quarter of 2010. Occupancy per available room in the third quarter of 2011 was 93% versus 77% in the third quarter of 2010. The average daily rate (ADR) in the third quarter of 2011 was US$170 per occupied room, which compares with US$158 in the comparable quarter of 2010.

Altira Macau 3Q Results

For the third quarter of 2011, net revenue at Altira Macau was US$329.0 million compared to US$186.8 million in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 76%. Altira Macau generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$78.9 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 174% when compared to Adjusted EBITDA of US$28.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. The significant increases in net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were driven by substantially improved rolling chip volumes and an increased rolling chip win rate.

Rolling chip volume totaled US$13.2 billion in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 39% from US$9.5 billion for the third quarter of 2010. The rolling chip win rate was 3.2%, compared to a win rate of 2.7% for the same period in 2010, and above the expected rolling chip win rate of 2.7%-3.0%.

Mass market table games drop totaled US$149.9 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 55% from US$97.0 million generated for the comparable period in 2010. The mass market hold percentage was 15.7% in the third quarter of 2011 compared with 17.6% in the third quarter of last year. At Altira Macau, we expect our mass market table games hold percentage to range from 15.0%-17.0%.

Total non-gaming revenue at Altira Macau in the third quarter of 2011 was US$7.9 million, up slightly from the third quarter of 2010. Occupancy per available room in the third quarter of 2011 was 98% compared to 95% in the third quarter of 2010. ADR was US$192 per occupied room, compared to US$161 in the same period of 2010.

Mocha Clubs 3Q Results

Net revenue from Mocha Clubs totaled US$31.3 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 13% from US$27.8 million in the comparable period of 2010. Mocha Clubs generated US$8.9 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 17% when compared to Adjusted EBITDA of US$7.6 million in the same period in 2010.

The number of gaming machines in operation at Mocha Clubs averaged approximately 1,600 in the third quarters of 2011 and 2010. The net win per gaming machine per day was US$208 in the third quarter of 2011, as compared with US$189 in the same period in 2010, an increase of 10%.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Total non-operating expense for the third quarter of 2011 totaled US$36.9 million, which included US$30.7 million in net interest expense, other finance costs of US$3.4 million, a US$2.7 million loss on foreign exchange in relation to our offshore cash balances, as well as transaction costs of US$4.2 million associated with the proposed Hong Kong listing, partially offset by US$3.3 million gain in relation to a change in fair value of an existing interest rate swap arrangement. There was no capitalized interest during the third quarter of 2011.

Depreciation and amortization totaled US$90.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, of which US$14.3 million was related to the amortization of our gaming sub-concession and US$10.7 million was related to the amortization of land use rights. The year-over-year increase in depreciation and amortization costs is primarily related to a full quarter of depreciation of The House of Dancing Water, as well as from amortization of Studio City's land use rights.

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2011 totaled US$1,450.5 million including US$360.1 million of restricted cash. Total debt at the end of the third quarter of 2011 was US$2.4 billion, and total net debt to shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2011 was 33%.

Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2011 totaled US$22.6 million, of which US$8.1 million related to design and preliminary costs associated with Studio City, US$4.9 million for the development of the new Mocha site, with the remainder predominantly attributable to various projects at City of Dreams.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1) "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and others, share-based compensation, and other non-operating income and expenses. "Adjusted property EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and others, share-based compensation, 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 they are widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA as measures 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 they are used by some investors as ways 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 supplements 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 alternatives to operating income as indicators of the Company's performance, as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity, or as alternatives 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 do 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 two 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 or 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 income (loss)" is net income (loss) before pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and others, change in fair value of interest rate swap agreements, loss on extinguishment of debt, costs associated with debt modification and reclassification of accumulated losses of interest rate swap agreements from accumulated other comprehensive losses. 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.
