Melco Crown Entertainment Announces Unaudited Third Quarter 2016 Earnings and Declares Quarterly Dividend

MACAU, Nov. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: MPEL) (“Melco Crown Entertainment” or the “Company” or “we”), a developer, owner and operator of casino gaming and entertainment casino resort facilities in Asia, today reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2016.

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was US$1,152.6 million, representing an increase of approximately 22% from US$945.7 million for the comparable period in 2015. The increase in net revenue was primarily attributable to the net revenue generated by Studio City, which started operations in October 2015, and the increase in casino revenues at City of Dreams Manila, partially offset by lower casino revenues at City of Dreams in Macau and Altira Macau.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, operating income for the third quarter of 2016 was US$108.9 million, compared with operating income of US$34.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, representing an increase of 220%.

Adjusted property EBITDA(1) was US$289.2 million for the third quarter of 2016, as compared to Adjusted property EBITDA of US$237.3 million in the third quarter of 2015, representing an increase of 22%. The 22% year-over-year improvement in Adjusted property EBITDA was mainly attributable to the contribution from Studio City and City of Dreams Manila, partially offset by lower contribution from City of Dreams in Macau.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment for the third quarter of 2016 was US$62.0 million, or US$0.13 per ADS, compared with net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment of US$33.2 million, or US$0.06 per ADS, in the third quarter of 2015. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2016 of US$18.3 million was related to Studio City and City of Dreams Manila.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment, commented, “We delivered a 22% year-over-year increase in Adjusted property EBITDA during the third quarter of 2016, driven by greater contributions from Studio City and City of Dreams Manila.

“Studio City, which opened in October 2015, delivered a sequential increase of over 24% in mass table gross gaming revenues and over 110% in Adjusted property EBITDA, leveraging its unique non-gaming offerings to attract an increasingly Cotai-based mass market customer who are seeking a diverse and multi-faceted entertainment proposition.

“As trends stabilize in Macau, Melco Crown Entertainment is positioned to benefit from Macau’s evolution into a mass-focused, multi-day stay destination. Our company continues to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to lead Macau in its transformation to the integrated resort model and away from the traditional gaming model through the development of diversified, mass-focused integrated resorts that deliver world-class entertainment and other non-gaming amenities which cater to a broad spectrum of customers.

“City of Dreams Manila delivered improvements in all gaming segments which, together with our company-wide focus on managing reinvestment costs and other operating expenses, resulted in an increase in Adjusted property EBITDA of approximately 85% on a year-over-year basis. City of Dreams Manila provides us with a diversified earnings stream which complements our operations in Macau.

“We believe that the Philippines gaming market will continue to show robust growth as the country’s economy rapidly expands, infrastructure continues to improve and the Philippine government retains its strong commitment to supporting domestic and international tourism.”

Studio City Third Quarter Results

Studio City started operations on October 27, 2015. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, net revenue at Studio City was US$229.5 million. Studio City generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$52.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. This Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City operations is different from “Consolidated EBITDA” as defined in the US$1.4 billion Studio City senior secured facility agreement (“Studio City Loan Agreement”) for financial covenant testing purposes. For reference, in the second quarter of 2016, the Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City operations was US$24.6 million and the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Studio City Loan Agreement) was US$17.8 million.

The Studio City Loan Agreement requires compliance with various minimum financial condition requirements, all of which are based on the Consolidated EBITDA or Cashflow (both as defined in the Studio City Loan Agreement). The first period for which compliance with these minimum financial conditions will be tested is the twelve-month period ending on March 31, 2017. In order for Studio City Company Limited, the borrower under the Studio City Loan Agreement, to meet such financial condition requirements for the twelve-month period ending on March 31, 2017, the ramp-up of Studio City operations must be significantly accelerated by March 31, 2017. The Company is not a guarantor under the Studio City Loan Agreement or the 8.50% senior notes due 2020 issued by Studio City Finance Limited.

Mass market table games drop was US$657.6 million and the mass market table games hold percentage was 25.5% in the third quarter of 2016.

Gaming machine handle was US$587.9 million and the gaming machine win rate was 3.9% in the third quarter of 2016.

Total non-gaming revenue at Studio City in the third quarter of 2016 was US$58.5 million.

City of Dreams Manila Third Quarter Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, net revenue at City of Dreams Manila was US$131.0 million compared to US$91.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. City of Dreams Manila generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$45.0 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to US$24.4 million in the comparable period of 2015. The year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of increased casino revenues.

Rolling chip volume totaled US$1.6 billion for the third quarter of 2016 versus US$1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2015. The rolling chip win rate was 4.0% in the third quarter of 2016 versus 2.9% in the third quarter of 2015. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.7%-3.0%.

Mass market table games drop increased to US$146.8 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with US$116.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. The mass market table games hold percentage was 26.9% in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 27.0% in the third quarter of 2015.

Gaming machine handle for the third quarter of 2016 was US$597.0 million, compared with US$508.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. The gaming machine win rate was 5.8% in the third quarter of 2016 versus 5.7% in the third quarter of 2015.

Total non-gaming revenue at City of Dreams Manila in the third quarter of 2016 was US$26.3 million, compared with US$26.4 million in the third quarter of 2015.                Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Total net non-operating expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were US$63.6 million, which mainly included interest expenses, net of capitalized interest, of US$56.4 million, other finance costs of US$14.5 million and net foreign exchange gain of US$5.2 million. We recorded US$6.6 million of capitalized interest during the third quarter of 2016, primarily relating to the development of the fifth hotel tower at City of Dreams.

The year-on-year increase of US$29.0 million in net non-operating expenses was primarily due to lower capitalized interest and capitalized amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by the net foreign exchange gain in the current quarter.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$137.1 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2016, of which US$14.3 million was related to the amortization of our gaming subconcession and US$5.7 million was related to the amortization of land use rights.

Financial Position and Capital Expenditure

Total cash and bank balances as of September 30, 2016 totaled US$1.9 billion, including US$92.8 million of bank deposits with original maturity over three months and US$202.6 million of restricted cash, primarily related to Studio City. Total debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs at the end of the third quarter of 2016, was US$3.8 billion.

Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2016 were US$108.5 million, which predominantly related to various projects at City of Dreams, including the fifth hotel tower development.

Shareholders and potential investors of Melco Crown Entertainment are advised not to place undue reliance on the unaudited earnings and financial information of the Company for the third quarter of 2016. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution in dealing in the securities of the Company.

Dividend Declaration

The Quarterly Dividend will be paid on or about Wednesday, November 30, 2016 to our shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on Tuesday, November 15, 2016, being the record date for determination of entitlements to the Quarterly Dividend.

Other Information

In relation to the additional development project at Studio City, in October 2016, we filed an application with the Macau government requesting an extension of the development period under Studio City’s land concession contract. The application is currently under review by the Macau government.

The Company may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties.

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, payments to the Philippine parties under the cooperative arrangement (the “Philippine Parties”), land rent to Belle Corporation, net gain on disposal of property and equipment to Belle Corporation 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, payments to the Philippine Parties, land rent to Belle Corporation, net gain on disposal of property and equipment to Belle Corporation, Corporate and Others 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. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.Such U.S. GAAP measurements include operating income, net income, 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 recurring and nonrecurring 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 U.S. GAAP are provided herein immediately following the financial statements included in this press release.
2. “Adjusted net  income” is net income before net gain on disposal of property and equipment to Belle Corporation, pre-opening costs,  development costs, property charges and others, loss on extinguishment of debt and costs associated with debt modification, net of noncontrolling interests and taxes calculated using specific tax treatment applicable to the adjustments based on their respective jurisdictions. Adjusted net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment and adjusted net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment 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 U.S. GAAP, as an additional basis for assessing period-to-period results of our business. Adjusted net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment and adjusted net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment per share may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of adjusted net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment with the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided herein immediately following the financial statements included in this press release.
