MACAU, Nov. 05, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Crown Entertainment Limited MPEL ("Melco Crown Entertainment" or the "Company" or "we"), a developer, owner and operator of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities in Asia, today reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2015.

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2015 was US$945.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 16% from US$1,124.1 million for the comparable period in 2014. The decline in net revenue was primarily attributable to lower rolling chip revenues and mass market table games revenues in Macau, partially offset by the net revenue generated by City of Dreams Manila, which started operations in December 2014.

Adjusted property EBITDA(1) was US$237.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to Adjusted property EBITDA of US$305.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. The 22% year-over-year decline in Adjusted property EBITDA was attributable to lower contribution from the group-wide rolling chip segment and mass market table games segment.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment for the third quarter of 2015 was US$33.2 million, or US$0.06 per ADS, compared with net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment of US$132.2 million, or US$0.24 per ADS, in the third quarter of 2014. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2015 of US$34.1 million was related to Studio City and City of Dreams Manila.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment, commented, "Our results in the third quarter of 2015 were impressive, particularly given the challenging demand backdrop in Macau, with our Macau Property EBITDA expanding over 10% sequentially. This performance highlights our world-class gaming and non-gaming amenities and market-leading, premium-positioned flagship integrated resort, City of Dreams, together with our ongoing commitment to managing costs.

"Our ability to compete strongly in the mass segment in a disciplined manner and our strict approach to cost management, particularly in marketing, player reinvestment and payroll expenses, is demonstrated by a greater than 200 basis point increase in our Macau Property EBITDA margins during the recent quarter.

"I am delighted to announce the recent successful opening of our highly anticipated integrated resort in Macau, Studio City, which brings to Macau the most diversified entertainment-focused property ever contemplated in Macau. Our newest large-scale property represents a major milestone for our Company that enables us to further diversify our offering of entertainment-focused non-gaming attractions, which are unrivalled in Macau.

"Studio City features a wide array of entertainment options for visitors of all ages to enjoy. The art-deco inspired façade houses the iconic Golden Reel – the world's only figure-8 Ferris wheel, as well as a 4D flight simulation ride, Batman Dark Flight; a 40,000-square-foot family entertainment center, Warner Bros. Fun Zone; an incredible live magical experience showcasing the world's greatest magicians, The House of Magic; Macau's first-ever Ibiza-style nightclub, Pacha Macau; and a 5,000-seat multi-purpose entertainment center, Studio City Event Center, hosting exciting live concerts, theatrical and top sports offerings in addition to award shows and other special feature events.

"The property also delivers world-class accommodation at the approximately 1,600-room Studio City Hotel, and a diverse range of international restaurants, cafes and relaxed bars and lounges. Studio City also significantly expands our Company's retail capacity in Macau with over 35,000 square meters of distinctive retail showcasing sophisticated and prestigious fashion brands.

"Studio City's location directly adjacent to the Lotus Bridge immigration point, which connects with Hengqin Island, and a future station-point for the Macau Light Rapid Transit, provides a strategic location in Cotai, enabling the property to enjoy ideal access to visitors from the fast growing and increasingly important Hengqin Island.

"We anticipate that Studio City will provide a strong complement to our current operating assets in Macau, allowing us to deepen our customer mix. The opening of Studio City highlights our Company's commitment to help evolve and greatly enhance Macau's non-gaming entertainment proposition, which in turn supports Macau's evolution into a multi-faceted entertainment destination. Studio City also deepens our investment in the local community by offering unique and rewarding career opportunities not currently available in Macau.

"We thank the Macau and Central governments for their support and recognition of our Company's contribution to the true diversification of Macau into a world leading leisure and tourism destination.

"In Manila, City of Dreams delivered 93% sequential growth in Property EBITDA, as a result of strong traction in the rolling chip segment and further expansion of its mass table and slot machine revenue. Hotel occupancy was maintained at a high 88% for the quarter. City of Dreams Manila maintained strong visitation statistics, leading all other integrated resorts in Manila, as its unique array of gaming and entertainment offerings continued to captivate patrons, both domestic and international. We believe that City of Dreams Manila is well positioned for long term success as Manila transforms into an exciting and diverse tourism destination for the region."

City of Dreams Third Quarter Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, net revenue at City of Dreams was US$665.6 million compared to US$911.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. City of Dreams generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$191.5 million in the third quarter of 2015, representing a decrease of 31% compared to US$276.0 million in the comparable period of 2014. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of lower rolling chip revenues and mass market table games revenues.

Altira Macau generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$13.3 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared with Adjusted EBITDA of US$20.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of lower rolling chip revenues.

Net revenue from Mocha Clubs totaled US$36.1 million in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to US$38.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. Mocha Clubs generated US$8.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2015 compared with US$9.9 million in the same period in 2014.

The number of gaming machines in operation at Mocha Clubs averaged approximately 1,200 in the third quarter of 2015, compared to approximately 1,300 in the comparable period in 2014. The reduction in gaming machines reported by Mocha Clubs was primarily due to the transfer of the reporting of one club to Altira Macau in 2015. The net win per gaming machine per day was US$318 in the third quarter of 2015, as compared with US$306 in the comparable period in 2014.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Total net non-operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were US$34.6 million, which mainly included interest income of US$4.2 million and interest expenses, net of capitalized interest, of US$23.2 million, US$9.5 million of other finance costs and US$6.5 million of net foreign exchange loss. We recorded US$40.3 million of capitalized interest during the third quarter of 2015, primarily relating to Studio City and the fifth hotel tower at City of Dreams.

The year-on-year decrease of US$4.2 million in net non-operating expenses was primarily due to higher capitalized interest in the current quarter, partially offset by higher interest expenses resulted from the drawdown of the Studio City US$1.3 billion term loan facility in late July 2014.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$114.3 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2015, of which US$14.3 million was related to the amortization of our gaming subconcession and US$16.1 million was related to the amortization of land use rights.

Financial Position and Capital Expenditure

Total cash and bank balances as of September 30, 2015 totaled US$2.8 billion, including US$0.7 billion of bank deposits with original maturity over three months and US$1.0 billion of restricted cash, primarily related to Studio City. Total debt at the end of the third quarter of 2015 was US$4.0 billion.

Capital expenditure for the third quarter of 2015 were US$400.6 million, which predominantly related to Studio City and various projects at City of Dreams, including the fifth hotel tower.

Our Studio City borrowing group issued a letter requesting, among other things, approvals from the lenders of the Studio City US$1.4 billion term loan and revolving credit facility to amend the loan documentation.  The proposed amendments include changing the Studio City project opening date condition from 400 to 250 tables, consequential adjustments to the financial covenants, and rescheduling the commencement of financial covenant testing.

Other Information

The proceeding in Taiwan against our subsidiary's Taiwan branch office ("Taiwan Branch") is on-going. In early October, the first instance court rendered a not guilty verdict on all charges in favour of our Taiwan Branch. With respect to the frozen bank account with a balance of approximately New Taiwan dollar 2.98 billion (equivalent to $102.2 million) at the time it was frozen, such court ordered the cancellation of the prosecutor's freeze order ("Unfreeze Order"). The prosecutor filed a notice of appeal of the not guilty verdict but did not oppose the Unfreeze Order. However, the prosecutor may at any time apply to the appellate court for a new freeze order over the bank account. Our Taiwan Branch will continue to vigorously defend this case during the appeal process.

Dividend Declaration

On November 5, 2015, our Board considered and approved the declaration and payment of a quarterly dividend of US$0.0061 per share (equivalent to US$0.0183 per ADS) for the third quarter of 2015 (the "Quarterly Dividend"). The Quarterly Dividend will be paid on or about Friday, December 4, 2015 to our shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on Tuesday, November 17, 2015, being the record date for determination of entitlements to the Quarterly Dividend.

Community Support and Investment

As a company with a strong and deep heritage in Macau, we have always maintained a steadfast commitment to the long term development of our employees and support of the local community. This is highlighted by the following initiatives we have recently instituted or expanded:

  • In September 2015, we announced "MCE YOU-niversity", a unique approach that adds to the Melco Crown Entertainment's whole person development strategy for employees who have yet to achieve a university degree. The first bachelor's degree program, Bachelor of Arts in International Business Practice offered by Edinburgh Napier University as part of "MCE YOU-niversity", will be launched in 2016 with possible support from a local Macau educational institute to help co-teach the program.

  • In October 2015, we invited 40 students and their teachers from Luso-Chinese Technical and Vocational Middle School on a backstage tour at the Dancing Water Theater. The tour aimed to prepare these students to start planning for their undergraduate programs and future career paths, potentially to become a part of the award-winning production.

  • To celebrate the launch of the new cinematically-themed resort Studio City with the Macau community, we organized daily charity groups to experience the world-class attractions and entertainment. The participating groups included Fu Hong Macau Association, Sheng Kung Hui "Star of Hope" Youth Home, Holy House of Mercy, Macau True Goodwill Friendship Association, Macau Deaf Association and a cancer patient group in association with Junior Chamber International Macau.It is an ongoing program that continues to serve different charity groups and organizations.

    Furthermore, from October 28 to December 6, we will donate 300 tickets per weekday and 400 tickets per weekend, of The House of Magic, Macau's first theater hosting resident magic show, to the community, with priority to be given to the under-resourced.

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. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) growth of the gaming market and visitation in Macau and the Philippines, (ii) capital and credit market volatility, (iii) local and global economic conditions, (iv) our anticipated growth strategies, and (v) our future business development, results of operations and financial condition. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as "may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "target", "aim", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "potential", "continue", "is/are likely to" or other similar expressions.

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, gain on disposal of assets held for sale 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, gain on disposal of assets held for sale, 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 pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and others, loss on extinguishment of debt and costs associated with debt modification. 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.
