LAS VEGAS, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2013 was $0.01 compared to a loss per share of $0.44 in the prior year first quarter.  Comparability of the current and prior year consolidated results was affected by certain items discussed further below.

"Our first quarter 2013 results are the best we have reported since the beginning of the downturn five years ago, led by improved results at our Las Vegas Strip resorts, a record first quarter at MGM China and an all-time record at CityCenter," said Jim Murren, MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO. "MGM Resorts International returned to profitability in the quarter and we are excited about our future."

Key results for the first quarter of 2013 include the following:

  • Consolidated net revenue increased 3% over the prior year quarter to $2.4 billion;
  • Consolidated casino revenue increased 5%;
  • Rooms revenue at wholly owned domestic resorts increased 2% with a 1% increase in REVPAR(1) at the Company's Las Vegas Strip resorts;
  • Adjusted Property EBITDA(2) was $574 million, a 20% increase compared to the prior year quarter;
  • The Company's wholly owned domestic resorts earned Adjusted Property EBITDA of $361 million, a 12% increase compared to the prior year quarter;
  • MGM China's Adjusted EBITDA was $180 million, which included $13 million of branding fee expense, a 10% increase compared to  the prior year quarter;
  • CityCenter's Adjusted EBITDA related to resort operations was $93 million, nearly three times the $32 million reported in the prior year quarter; and
  • Consolidated operating income was $302 million compared to operating income of $193 million in the prior year quarter.

The provision for the prior year quarter was affected by a $102 million valuation allowance for a portion of U.S. deferred tax assets and a tax provision of $44 million related to a tax that would have been due on the MGM China dividend had the annual fee arrangement with the Macau government not been in place prior to June 30, 2013.

Table games revenue increased 16% and the overall table games hold percentage in the first quarter of 2013 was 21.9% compared to 18.7% for the prior year quarter.  Slots revenue decreased 2% primarily as a result of a decrease in slots revenues at the Company's regional resorts, while the Company's Las Vegas Strip resorts slots revenues increased 4%.

Key first quarter results for MGM China include the following:

  • Adjusted EBITDA from resort operations was $93 million, compared to $32 million in the prior year quarter;
  • Aria's table games hold percentage was 28.3% in the current year quarter compared to 16.0% in the prior year quarter; and
  • Aria's occupancy percentage was 89% and its ADR was $209, resulting in REVPAR of $186, a 5% increase compared to the prior year quarter.

Financial Position

"Our strong first quarter results benefited from our effective marketing and yielding strategies, high returning strategic capital investments and focus on managing costs," said Dan D'Arrigo, MGM Resorts International Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer. "In addition, quarterly results were enhanced by the Company's December 2012 debt refinancing, as interest expense was reduced by almost $60 million compared to the prior year first quarter."

The Company's cash balance at March 31, 2013 was $1.5 billion, which included $565 million at MGM China.  At March 31, 2013, the Company had $13.7 billion of indebtedness, including $2.9 billion of borrowings outstanding under its $4.0 billion senior credit facility and $553 million outstanding under the $2.0 billion MGM China credit facility. On April 1, 2013, the Company used a portion of the cash balance to repay its $462 million 6.75% senior notes at maturity.

1 REVPAR is hotel revenue per available room.

2 "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses and property transactions, net.  "Adjusted Property EBITDA" is Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expense and stock compensation expense related to the MGM Resorts stock option plan, which is not allocated to each property. MGM China recognizes stock compensation expense related to its stock compensation plan which is included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for MGM China.  Adjusted EBITDA information is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes these measures are 1) widely used measures of operating performance in the gaming industry, and 2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. 

Management believes that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of the Company's earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends compared to other periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods being presented. Also, management believes excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when the Company is developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within the Company's resorts, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period.

In addition, capital allocation, tax planning, financing and stock compensation awards are all managed at the corporate level. Therefore, management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary measure of the Company's operating resorts' performance.

Reconciliations of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP operating income (loss) to Adjusted Property EBITDA are included in the financial schedules in this release.
