Insights

Melco's Q2 2025 shows 15% revenue growth to $1.33B, with record-setting mass market performance in Macau despite lower net income.

Melco delivered total operating revenues of $1.33 billion in Q2 2025, representing a solid 15% year-over-year increase. This growth was primarily driven by improved performance across both gaming and non-gaming operations.

The company's Adjusted Property EBITDA reached $377.7 million, jumping 24.7% from $302.8 million in Q2 2024. However, net income decreased to $17.2 million ($0.04 per ADS) from $21.4 million ($0.05 per ADS) in the comparable period.

Macau operations were the standout performers, with Macau Property EBITDA growing 35% year-over-year and 13% quarter-over-quarter. Both City of Dreams Macau and Studio City achieved record mass market table games revenue. City of Dreams saw its Adjusted EBITDA surge to $225.6 million, up 36.6% from $165.1 million in Q2 2024, supported by a 13.7% increase in rolling chip volume and a 19.9% rise in mass market table games drop.

Studio City's Adjusted EBITDA increased by 32.8% to $105.2 million, primarily due to improved hold percentages rather than volume growth. The property has strategically repositioned to focus on premium mass and mass operations, with VIP rolling chip operations transferred to City of Dreams in late 2024.

Not all properties performed equally well. City of Dreams Manila saw Adjusted EBITDA decline by 29.9% to $28.4 million due to softer gaming performance in a "heightened competitive environment." Similarly, City of Dreams Mediterranean reported a slight decrease in Adjusted EBITDA despite revenue growth.

The company recognized a $55.6 million impairment in goodwill related to the planned cessation of the Grand Dragon Casino and three Mocha Clubs before the end of 2025. Total debt stood at $7.16 billion with available liquidity of approximately $2.27 billion.

Notably, Melco is expanding with City of Dreams Sri Lanka opening on August 1, 2025, representing the first integrated resort in Sri Lanka and South Asia.

MACAU, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: MLCO) (“Melco” or the “Company”), a developer, owner, and operator of integrated resort facilities in Asia and Europe, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

Total operating revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were US$1.33 billion, representing an increase of approximately 15% from US$1.16 billion for the comparable period in 2024. The increase in total operating revenues was primarily attributable to the improved performance in both overall gaming and non-gaming operations.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2025 was US$124.7 million, compared with US$123.7 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Melco’s Adjusted Property EBITDA(1) was US$377.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared with US$302.8 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the second quarter of 2025 was US$17.2 million, or US$0.04 per ADS, compared with US$21.4 million, or US$0.05 per ADS, in the second quarter of 2024. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was US$7.8 million and US$22.7 million during the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, the majority of which related to the net loss attributable to Studio City and City of Dreams Mediterranean and Other.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Macau Property EBITDA grew 35% year-over-year and 13% quarter-to-quarter. Gaming volumes and revenue increased, with City of Dreams Macau and Studio City setting new records in mass market table games revenue. This was further supported by increases in cost efficiencies leading to stronger margins. We are confident that the strategic initiatives we implemented have set us up on a solid foundation for continued growth.

“In the Philippines, although the heightened competitive environment continues to impact performance, we have been implementing a variety of initiatives to improve performance and reduce cost. In Cyprus, City of Dreams Mediterranean and our satellite casinos exhibited solid results despite the events in the Middle East in June 2025 and we are cautiously optimistic about the performance for the remainder of the peak season.

“And finally, we are very excited to have City of Dreams Sri Lanka open on August 1, 2025. City of Dreams Sri Lanka represents the first integrated resort in Sri Lanka and South Asia, and we are excited for the opportunities this presents for us.”

As announced on June 9, 2025, after considering the Company’s overall development strategy and in accordance with Macau law, the Company will cease operations of the Grand Dragon Casino and three Mocha Clubs before the end of 2025. As a result, in the second quarter of 2025, we recognized an impairment in goodwill of US$55.6 million in Property Charges and Other to reflect the decrease in fair value of the reporting unit “Mocha and Other” which takes into account the expected cessation of three Mocha Clubs before the end of 2025 and the continuing operations of the other three Mocha Clubs, namely, Mocha Inner Harbour, Mocha Hotel Sintra and Mocha Golden Dragon, subject to compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in Macau.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1)“Adjusted EBITDA” is net income/loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and other, share-based compensation, payments to the Philippine parties under the cooperative arrangement (the “Philippine Parties”), integrated resort and casino rent and other non-operating income and expenses. “Adjusted Property EBITDA” is net income/loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and other, share-based compensation, payments to the Philippine Parties, integrated resort and casino rent, Corporate and Other expenses and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are presented as supplemental disclosures because management believes 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 to measure the operating performance of our segments and to compare the operating performance of our properties with those of our 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 similar measures as supplements to financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in particular, U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards. However, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income/loss 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/loss, 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 recognizes these limitations and uses 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/loss, net income/loss, 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. The use of Adjusted Property EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as an analytical tool, as Adjusted Property EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not include all items that impact our net income/loss. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. 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/loss” is net income/loss before pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and other and loss on extinguishment of debt, net of noncontrolling interests and taxes calculated using specific tax treatments applicable to the adjustments based on their respective jurisdictions. Adjusted net income/loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited and adjusted net income/loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited per share (“EPS”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, are presented as supplemental disclosures because management believes 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/loss 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/loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited and adjusted net income/loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited per share may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of adjusted net income/loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited 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.
