PRNewswire-FirstCall
LAS VEGAS

MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) today reported record fourth quarter and full year 2005 financial results, highlighted by impressive revenue growth in all operating areas.

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations per diluted share ("Adjusted EPS") was $0.35 in 2005, representing the Company's best fourth quarter performance ever, and an increase of 25% over the $0.28 earned in the 2004 quarter(1,2). The Company continues to benefit from the addition of the resorts acquired in the Mandalay Resort Group ("Mandalay") merger, as well as strong operating trends at existing resorts. The fourth quarter results punctuate a record year for MGM MIRAGE, with full year Adjusted EPS of $1.62 versus $1.28 in 2004.

Net revenues increased 65% to $1.8 billion for the quarter. Same-store(3) net revenues were $1.1 billion for the quarter, up 11% over prior year. Revenues were strong in all operating areas. Highlighting the gaming results was an 11% increase in same-store slot revenues.

Non-gaming revenues also increased significantly, with same-store hotel revenues up 20% and same-store food and beverage revenues up 17%. REVPAR (revenue per available room) at the Company's Las Vegas Strip Resorts increased 8% on both a same-store and pro forma (including Mandalay for both periods) basis.

The top-line growth carried through to the profit line, with same-store property-level EBITDA(4) up 11% to $359 million. Total property-level EBITDA for the quarter was a record $562 million, and property-level EBITDA margins remained solid at 33%.

The Company achieved these impressive financial results in spite of the negative impact of the following items:

  * The Company's table games hold percentage was approximately 200 basis
    points lower than the prior year quarter;
  * Corporate expense increased to $40 million from $32 million in the third
    quarter due to non-recurring merger integration costs and litigation
    accruals;
  * The closure of Beau Rivage in August 2005 following Hurricane Katrina
    hurt comparisons to the prior year.  Beau Rivage earned operating income
    of $13.8 million in the 2004 fourth quarter, or approximately $0.03 per
    diluted share;
  * The prior year fourth quarter benefited from an $11.5 million
    adjustment, approximately $0.02 per share, net of tax, related to the
    Company's share of certain tax credits at Borgata.

Adjusted EPS (and Adjusted Earnings) excludes discontinued operations, preopening and start-up expenses, restructuring costs, property transactions, tax adjustments and gains or losses on early retirement of debt(2). On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, diluted earnings per share increased to $0.33 in the 2005 quarter from $0.26 in 2004.

For the full year, GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased to $1.50 in 2005 from $1.21 in 2004. GAAP diluted earnings per share, including the results of discontinued operations, was $1.50 versus $1.43 in 2004. The 2004 results included pre-tax gains of $74 million on the sale of MGM Grand Australia and $8 million on the sale of the Golden Nugget Subsidiaries, as well as the operations of these resorts prior to their sales.

"2005 was clearly a landmark year for MGM MIRAGE," said Terry Lanni, MGM MIRAGE's Chairman and CEO. "I am particularly impressed by the performance of our entire family of employees, who continue to ensure that our resorts are the finest in the world, as evidenced by the impressive public response and financial returns generated by new restaurants, hotel rooms and nightclubs at our resorts. We look forward to continuing our operating success in 2006, and we are already off to a strong start, as we hosted a record number of guests during the Chinese New Year period and are seeing continued strength in both gaming and non-gaming revenues," Mr. Lanni said.

Except where noted, all references in this release to operating results, including statistical information, exclude the results of Golden Nugget Las Vegas, Golden Nugget Laughlin and MGM Grand Australia for all periods presented. The results of these operations are classified as discontinued operations.

Net revenue in the fourth quarter increased 65% from prior year and 11% on a same-store basis. Hotel results, as well as results in other non-gaming areas, were strong as visitor volumes and the Company's market-leading resort amenities continue to drive revenue growth across all business lines.

Casino revenue increased 39% in the 2005 quarter and 3% on a same-store basis. Slot revenue in the quarter was up an impressive 11% from 2004 on a same-store basis, on top of a 9% year-over-year increase in the 2004 fourth quarter, driven in part by the success of our Players Club loyalty program and targeted marketing events. Bellagio's slot revenue increased 35% to an all- time quarterly record, as the resort continues to benefit from increased volume following the Spa Tower expansion. MGM Grand Las Vegas had its highest ever quarterly slot revenue, up 16% over prior year.

On a same-store basis, table games volume, including baccarat, was up 2%, against a strong prior year comparison, a 14% increase in the 2004 quarter over 2003. These results were driven by several major entertainment events in the quarter, as well as strong New Year's visitation. Table games hold percentages were near the low end of the Company's normal range (18%-22%) for the 2005 period, and were approximately 200 basis points lower than the prior-year quarter (approximately 130 basis points lower on a same-store basis).

Non-casino revenue was up 95% in the quarter and 19% on a same-store basis. Hotel revenue increased 111% (20% on a same-store basis), as market trends and the quality of our resorts continue to lead to increased room rates. The following table shows key hotel statistics for the Company's Las Vegas Strip resorts on a same-store and pro forma basis (pro forma statistics include Mandalay and Monte Carlo for both periods):

    Revenue per Available Room (REVPAR)           $130              $120



On a same-store basis, the Company had 11% (160,000) more room nights available on the Las Vegas Strip in the current year period due to the Bellagio expansion and remodeled Skylofts and West Wing rooms at MGM Grand Las Vegas, which are achieving higher rates than before the remodel. The 8% increase in same-store Las Vegas Strip REVPAR comes on top of a 13% year-over-year increase in the 2004 quarter.

Mr. Lanni noted, "As it relates to Mandalay, we have successfully executed on our strategy to increase occupancy at these resorts. This has led not only to strong increases in room revenues, but has driven increased customer volumes at restaurants, entertainment venues and on the gaming floor, and our strategy has clearly led to enhanced financial performance at these resorts."

Food and beverage revenue increased 78% (17% on a same-store basis), resulting from new restaurants and lounges added since last year, particularly at MGM Grand Las Vegas and The Mirage, as well as additional volume generated by the Spa Tower addition at Bellagio.

Entertainment revenues were also up significantly, 33% on a same-store basis, over the prior year quarter, largely as a result of the contribution from KA at MGM Grand Las Vegas, which debuted in December 2004.

Property-level EBITDA increased 59% for the quarter (11% on a same-store basis) and the same-store property-level EBITDA margin of 33% was consistent with the 2004 quarter, despite the lower table games hold percentage. Operating income increased 62% over prior year as a result of the trends described above.

Fourth quarter 2005 Adjusted Earnings increased by 25% compared to 2004 due primarily to the higher operating income, offset by higher interest expense as a result of the Mandalay merger. For the fourth quarter of 2005, Adjusted Earnings excluded $7.9 million ($4.1 million, net of tax) of items as follows:

  * Net property transactions of $8.2 million ($5.4 million, net of tax),
    primarily related to several minor capital projects abandoned during the
    quarter and assets written-off in preparation for new construction,
    particularly at Mandalay Bay and The Mirage;
  * Preopening and start-up expenses of $3.2 million ($2.2 million, net of
    tax), including $1.6 million related to the Jet nightclub at The Mirage,
    $0.9 million related to MGM Grand Macau, and $0.6 million related to The
    Signature at MGM Grand.
  * A benefit of $3.5 million resulting from a federal income tax credit
    related to wage continuation payments to workers displaced by Hurricane
    Katrina.

In the fourth quarter of 2004, items excluded in the determination of Adjusted Earnings totaled $9.7 million ($6.3 million, net of tax), including $6.7 million of preopening and start-up expenses related to the Bellagio expansion and KA, $3.3 million of property transactions and a $0.3 million credit to restructuring costs.

Financial Position

The Company generated significant operating cash flow in the fourth quarter as a result of its positive operating results and the addition of Mandalay. The Company utilized available cash flow to make capital investments in its resorts and development projects as well as repurchase its common stock, without significantly increasing net borrowings. During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 3.5 million shares of its common stock for $132 million. Fourth quarter capital investments totaled $323 million, which included expenditures for the theatre for the Beatles/Cirque du Soleil production show at The Mirage, new restaurants and the Jet nightclub at The Mirage, continued design work for Project CityCenter, construction of the permanent casino at MGM Grand Detroit, rebuilding efforts at Beau Rivage, and other routine capital expenditures.

"Our strategy of making targeted capital expenditures in our resorts continues to be validated by our resorts' outstanding financial performance," said Jim Murren, MGM MIRAGE President, CFO and Treasurer. "We will continue to strategically invest in high-return projects that generate increased operating income at our resorts. We will also be making continued investments in key domestic and international growth projects which will enhance our overall growth rate for years to come. Our strong cash flow and superior access to low-cost debt financing will allow us to maintain our financial strength even while growing the company significantly."

Outlook

The Company expects its eleventh consecutive quarter of increased Las Vegas Strip REVPAR (on a pro forma basis, including Mandalay for both periods), driven in part by increased occupancy, particularly at Mandalay resorts, which will also drive increased revenues in all operating areas.

"Once again, we expect a year-over-year increase in first quarter earnings, with Adjusted EPS expected to be up almost 30% to approximately $0.55 per share compared to record first quarter earnings of $0.43 per share last year," Mr. Murren said. "This is despite the continued closure of Beau Rivage, which contributed approximately $0.03 per share in the 2005 first quarter." The Company noted that stock compensation expense of approximately $0.05 per share will be excluded from Adjusted EPS when first quarter results are reported.

MGM MIRAGE will hold a conference call to discuss its fourth quarter earnings results and outlook for the first quarter of 2006 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time today. The call can be accessed live at www.companyboardroom.com or www.mgmmirage.com, or by calling 1-800-526-8531 (domestic) or 1-706-634-6528 (international). Until March 2, 2006, a complete replay of the conference call can be accessed by dialing 1-706-645-9291, access code 4980186. A complete replay of the call will also be made available at www.mgmmirage.com. Supplemental detailed earnings information will also be available on the Company's website.

  (1) All share and per share amounts in this release and accompanying
      tables have been adjusted to reflect a 2-for-1 stock split effected in
      the form of a 100% stock dividend in May 2005.

  (2) Adjusted Earnings (and Adjusted EPS) is presented solely as a
      supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is 1) a
      widely used measure of performance, and 2) a principal basis for
      valuation of gaming companies, as this measure is considered by many
      to be a better measure on which to base expectations of future results
      than income from continuing operations computed in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  Management uses
      Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS as a primary means of evaluating
      the Company's performance.  Reconciliations of GAAP income from
      continuing operations and EPS to Adjusted Earnings and EPS are
      included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

  (3) References in this release to "same-store" results reflect the
      Company's operations excluding the newly acquired Mandalay properties
      and Monte Carlo in both periods.  Same-store results also exclude Beau
      Rivage in both periods.

  (4) EBITDA is earnings before interest and other non-operating income
      (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring,
      preopening and start-up expenses, and property transactions, net.
      EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because
      management believes that it is 1) a widely used measure of operating
      performance in the gaming industry, and 2) a principal basis for
      valuation of gaming companies.  Management uses property-level EBITDA
      (EBITDA before corporate expense) as the primary measure of the
      Company's operating resorts' performance, including the evaluation of
      operating personnel.  EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative
      to operating income, as an indicator of the Company's operating
      performance; or as an alternative to cash flows from operating
      activities, as a measure of liquidity; or as any other measure
      determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles.  The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including
      capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes and debt principal
      repayments, which are not reflected in EBITDA.  Also, other gaming
      companies that report EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA in a
      different manner than the Company.  Reconciliations of operating
      income to EBITDA are included in the financial schedules accompanying
      this release.
