MGM MIRAGE Reports Record Second Quarter Revenue, Cash Flow and Net Income

July 24, 2001
PRNewswire
LAS VEGAS

MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGG) today reported earnings of 47 cents per diluted share for the 2001 second quarter, compared with a loss of 13 cents per diluted share in the 2000 quarter. Excluding nonrecurring expenses, the Company reported a 20% increase in earnings per share to 48 cents per share for the three months ended June 30, 2001, up from 40 cents per share in the prior year's quarter.

Net income before nonrecurring expenses grew 27% to $77.3 million in the 2001 quarter from $60.7 million in the prior year's quarter. These results reflect the continued strong performance from the Company's casino and hotel operations and the impact of the historic acquisition of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated ("Mirage Resorts") on May 31, 2000. Revenue and operating cash flow ("EBITDA") soared 74% and 63%, respectively, representing the tenth consecutive quarterly increase in revenue and EBITDA on a year-over-year basis.

On a pro forma basis to account for the Mirage Resorts acquisition in both periods, revenue grew 2% to $1.05 billion while EBITDA increased 5% to $324.8 million in the 2001 second quarter.

"This quarter marks the one year anniversary of the combination of two powerful companies. Our operating performance and results have not only exceeded expectations but exemplify the strength of our people, our properties and our brands," said Terry Lanni, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MGM MIRAGE. "Given the variety of economic concerns corporate America has faced since the beginning of the year, we are pleased with our outstanding results. Many of those factors remain in place today, but with half of 2001 behind us, we are confident in our ability to succeed in this challenging environment."

                      Company-Wide Operating Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company reported consolidated net revenue of $1.05 billion, up 74% from the prior year's quarter of $603.5 million. The increase in net revenue was largely due to the acquisition of Mirage Resorts. The 2001 quarter reflects three months of operating results from Mirage Resorts when compared with only a one-month contribution in the prior year's quarter. EBITDA grew 63% to $324.8 million from $199.1 million in the 2000 quarter. EBITDA also benefited from a full quarter contribution by the Mirage Resorts properties. The Company recorded a 31% overall EBITDA margin during the 2001 second quarter.

"Our Las Vegas properties continue to exhibit strong growth, and this enabled us to improve our operating margins in the quarter," said Jim Murren, President and CFO of MGM MIRAGE. "We remain committed to improving our balance sheet as evidenced by the significant reduction of our leverage ratio. Our debt to EBITDA is now 4.3 times, down from 5.4 times just one year ago. Our strong capital structure affords our Company a tremendous opportunity to grow through selective investment in our existing resorts as well as expanding our portfolio of properties."

Bellagio

Bellagio achieved EBITDA of $76.3 million on net revenue of $240.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, versus EBITDA and net revenue of $55.2 million and $217.0 million, respectively for the second quarter of 2000. Quarterly EBITDA margin was 32%, representing a seven percentage point increase over the 25% recorded in the second quarter of 2000. Casino revenue increased by $18.8 million, benefiting from a slightly higher than average table game hold percentage when compared with an abnormally low hold percentage in the year ago quarter, as well as increased table game volume. Net non-casino revenue increased by $4.6 million, attributable to significant increases in room, food and beverage and entertainment revenue. Double-digit increases in average daily room rate ("ADR") and REVPAR contributed to the increase in non-casino revenue, as did an 8% increase in average ticket price for the "O" Show.

MGM Grand Las Vegas - The City of Entertainment

MGM Grand Las Vegas - The City of Entertainment recorded a 6% increase in net revenue to $198.2 million and a 7% increase in EBITDA to $60.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, versus $187.7 million and $56.0 million, respectively during the prior year's quarter. Quarterly EBITDA margin was up slightly to 30.3% in the most recent quarter. The increases in net revenue and EBITDA during the 2001 second quarter were due to a 5% and 6% increase in casino revenue and net non-casino revenue, respectively. Casino revenue benefited from strong increases in both table game and slot volumes. As a result of the increased table game volume, particularly baccarat, The City of Entertainment was able to achieve a record second quarter table game revenue despite a slightly lower hold percentage in the 2001 quarter when compared with the prior year's quarter. Net non-casino revenue benefited from increases in both room revenue and food and beverage revenue. Room revenue grew 9% in the 2001 second quarter as a result of record second quarter ADR of $113 and a $3 increase in REVPAR to $112. This represents the second highest room revenue quarter in the history of this property, ranking behind only the 2001 first quarter. The City of Entertainment also benefited from record second quarter food and beverage revenues, up 11% in the 2001 quarter when compared to the prior period.

The Mirage

The Mirage recorded net revenue of $163.9 million, versus $150.3 million reported in the second quarter of 2000. EBITDA of $47.7 million represented a 35% increase over the $35.4 million achieved in the second quarter of 2000, and was the resort's best second quarter result since 1997. EBITDA margin of 29% represented a five percentage point increase over the 24% reported in the prior-year second quarter. Casino and net non-casino revenue each increased by 9% versus the second quarter of 2000. The increase in casino revenue was principally the result of increased table game volume. Non-casino revenue benefited from the opening of The Mirage's new events center, which drove increases in the resort's ADR and REVPAR as well as a strong increase in its catering and banquet business.

Treasure Island

Treasure Island achieved its seventh consecutive year-over-year quarterly increase in EBITDA, to $27.5 million versus $26.9 million in the second quarter of 2000. Net revenue increased to $93.3 million from $91.6 million in the prior-year period. EBITDA margin increased slightly to 30% despite higher utility costs resulting from increased energy rates. The increase in quarterly net revenue was concentrated in the slot and entertainment areas, with entertainment revenue benefiting from an increase in ticket pricing as well as increased showroom capacity.

New York - New York

New York - New York recorded net revenue of $54.4 million and EBITDA of $23.8 million during the 2001 second quarter when compared to $55.0 million and $25.8 million, respectively, in the prior year's quarter. EBITDA margin remained impressive at 44% during the 2001 period. Both casino and net non-casino revenue remained relatively flat quarter-over-quarter, while operating expenses increased largely due to higher utility costs.

Primm Properties

The Primm Properties, located in Primm, Nevada, produced net revenue for the 2001 second quarter of $53.8 million and EBITDA of $11.5 million. This compares with net revenue of $62.6 million and EBITDA of $20.9 million during the 2000 second quarter. These results are consistent with our first quarter experience as these properties have been negatively impacted by increased competition from Native American casinos, as well as higher fuel and utility costs in California and Nevada.

Golden Nugget Las Vegas

The Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas produced net revenue of $44.7 million and EBITDA of $9.3 million during the second quarter of 2001, representing increases of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, versus the amounts achieved in the 2000 second quarter. The improved results were largely due to an increase in table game hold percentage, and were achieved despite an 8% reduction in available room nights for the quarter due to a guest room renovation project, which began in June 2001.

MGM Grand Detroit

MGM Grand Detroit produced net revenue of $88.0 million and EBITDA of $34.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 when compared with net revenue and EBITDA of $99.3 million and $43.6 million, respectively, for the 2000 second quarter. Despite the increased competition in the Detroit market, MGM Grand Detroit continued to focus on maximizing its profitability as evidenced by the 39% EBITDA margin in the 2001 second quarter.

Beau Rivage

Beau Rivage reported net revenue of $75.0 million and EBITDA of $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, versus $77.6 million and $18.0 million, respectively, in the prior-year period. EBITDA margin held steady at 23%. Second quarter net revenue and EBITDA increased $6.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, when compared with the first quarter of 2001. Increases in table game and slot volumes resulted in a $3.4 million increase in casino revenue when compared with the second quarter of 2000, which was more than offset by a $6.0 million decline in net non-casino revenue. This decline was largely the result of the closing of the Cirque du Soleil show, Alegria, which ended its sixteen-month run at Beau Rivage in October 2000. Also contributing to the decline was the closure of the resort's coffee shop and lobby lounge in connection with the expansion of its buffet. The expanded buffet and new coffee shop were completed at the end of April.

Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo reported net revenue of $69.6 million and EBITDA of $24.0 million compared with $71.3 million and $26.4 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2000. The Company's 50% share of this joint venture's results contributed $9.8 million to operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
