Melco Resorts net revenue increases 16% in Q1

On a U.S. GAAP basis, operating income for the first quarter of 2017 was US$158.5 million, compared with operating income of USD 65.8M in the first quarter of 2016, representingan increase of 141%.

Adjusted property EBITDA(1) was US$353.3 million for the first quarter of 2017, as compared to Adjusted property EBITDA of USD 248.8M in the first quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 42%. The year-on-year improvement in Adjusted property EBITDA was mainly attributable to better performance in group-wide rolling chip and mass market table games segments.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “in the first quarter of 2017, we delivered a strong set of results as highlighted by a 42% year-on-year increase in group-wide Adjusted property EBITDA, driven by expanding revenues across both Macau and the Philippines."

City of Dreams delivered Adjusted property EBITDA of approximately US$214 million, a sequential increase of over 13% compared to the prior quarter, despite an increase in supply in Macau. 

“We will replace the Hard Rock hotel brand at City of Dreams with a temporary hotel brand, “The Countdown”, beginning in July 2017. The Countdown Hotel will operate until March 31, 2018, at which time we will open Morpheus, an approximately 780 room, luxury hotel that will change the landscape in Macau with what we believe is a truly iconic design. Upon the opening of Morpheus, The Countdown will be rebranded and redeveloped into a new hotel concept which we believe will enhance the integrated resort’s premium positioning."

“Studio City generated a year-over-year increase in Adjusted property EBITDA of approximately 207%, driven by a 39% year-over-year increase in mass table games revenueand contribution from the rolling chip operations which continues to ramp up following its introduction in November 2016."
