Insights

Studio City posts solid Q2 2025 with 17.7% revenue growth to $190.1M and 41% EBITDA increase, highlighting successful pivot to premium mass market.

Studio City's Q2 2025 results demonstrate meaningful operational improvements, with total operating revenues increasing 17.7% year-over-year to $190.1 million, up from $161.5 million in Q2 2024. This growth was primarily driven by improved performance in their mass market operations.

The strategic repositioning away from VIP operations toward premium mass and mass market segments (implemented in late 2024) appears to be bearing fruit. The casino's hold percentage significantly improved to 34.0% from 30.1% in the year-ago quarter, indicating more favorable gaming outcomes despite only marginal growth in mass market table drop ($958.2 million vs $955.6 million).

Gaming machine performance also strengthened, with handle increasing 8.7% to $916.1 million and win rate improving to 3.7% from 3.3%. These operational improvements translated to a substantial 35.1% increase in revenue from casino contract to $83.8 million.

Notably, Adjusted EBITDA surged by 41.0% to $76.4 million, reflecting improved operational efficiency. Operating income increased dramatically to $23.1 million from just $3.0 million in Q2 2024. The company's net loss narrowed significantly to $3.7 million ($0.02 per ADS) from $33.4 million ($0.17 per ADS).

The balance sheet shows $173.5 million in cash and bank balances, up from $127.8 million at the end of 2024. Total debt remained stable at $2.16 billion. In July 2025, the company managed its debt obligations by repaying $221.6 million in maturing senior notes through a combination of a new $170.3 million credit facility drawdown and existing cash.

While the company is seeing strong operational improvements, interest expenses of $32.5 million continue to weigh on profitability, though this was partially offset by foreign exchange gains of $8.8 million. The substantial debt load remains a significant factor in the company's financial structure, potentially limiting flexibility despite the improving operational metrics.

MACAU, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Studio City International Holdings Limited (NYSE: MSC) (“Studio City” or the “Company”), a world-class integrated resort located in Cotai, Macau, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

Total operating revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were US$190.1 million, compared with US$161.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to better performance in mass market operations leading to an increase in revenue from casino contract and higher overall non-gaming revenues.

Studio City Casino generated gross gaming revenues of US$359.6 million and US$339.3 million for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Mass market table games drop was US$958.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared with US$955.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 and hold percentage was 34.0% in the second quarter of 2025, compared with 30.1% in the second quarter of 2024.

Gaming machine handle for the second quarter of 2025 was US$916.1 million, compared with US$842.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 and win rate was 3.7% in the second quarter of 2025, compared with 3.3% in the second quarter of 2024.

As reported in the earnings release for the fourth quarter of 2024, Studio City has strategically repositioned itself to focus on the premium mass and mass operations, and VIP rolling chip operations at Studio City were transferred to City of Dreams in late October 2024.

Revenue from casino contract was US$83.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared with US$62.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. Revenue from casino contract is net of gaming taxes and the costs incurred in connection with the on-going operation of the Studio City Casino which are deducted by Melco Resorts (Macau) Limited, the gaming operator of the Studio City Casino (the “Gaming Operator”).

Total gaming taxes and the costs incurred in connection with the on-going operation of the Studio City Casino deducted from gross gaming revenues were US$275.8 million and US$277.2 million in the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Total non-gaming revenues at Studio City for the second quarter of 2025 were US$106.3 million, compared with US$99.4 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2025 was US$23.1 million, compared with US$3.0 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Studio City’s Adjusted EBITDA(1) was US$76.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared with US$54.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The change was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue from casino contract and higher overall non-gaming revenues, partially offset by higher operating costs for the increase in business activities.

Net loss attributable to Studio City International Holdings Limited for the second quarter of 2025 was US$3.7 million, or US$0.02 per ADS, compared with US$33.4 million, or US$0.17 per ADS, in the second quarter of 2024. The net loss attributable to participation interest was US$0.4 million and US$3.1 million in the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Total net non-operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were US$24.1 million, which mainly included interest expense of US$32.5 million, partially offset by net foreign exchange gains of US$8.8 million.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$52.8 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2025, of which US$0.8 million was related to the amortization expense for the land use right.

The Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City for the three months ended June 30, 2025 referred to in the earnings release of Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (“Melco”) dated July 31, 2025 (“Melco’s Earnings Release”) was US$28.8 million more than the Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in this press release. The Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in this press release includes certain intercompany charges that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City contained in Melco’s Earnings Release. Such intercompany charges include, among other items, fees and shared service charges billed between the Company and its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Melco. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City included in Melco’s Earnings Release does not reflect certain gaming concession related costs and certain intercompany costs related to the gaming operations at Studio City Casino.

Financial Position and Capital Expenditures

Total cash and bank balances as of June 30, 2025 aggregated to US$173.5 million (December 31, 2024: US$127.8 million), including US$0.1 million of restricted cash (December 31, 2024: US$0.1 million). Total debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue premiums, at the end of the second quarter of 2025 was US$2.16 billion (December 31, 2024: US$2.16 billion).

In July 2025, Studio City repaid the US$221.6 million principal amount outstanding under the 6.00% senior notes, which matured on July 15, 2025, with a HK$1,337.0 million (equivalent to US$170.3 million) drawdown from the senior secured credit facilities entered into by Studio City Company Limited and the remainder with cash on hand.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2025 were US$16.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1)"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net income/loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, property charges and other and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is presented as supplemental disclosure because management believes it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure our operating performance and to compare our operating performance with those of our competitors.
  
 The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way 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 should not be considered as an alternative to operating income/loss as an indicator of the Company’s performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Unlike net income/loss, Adjusted EBITDA does 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 as only one 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. Also, the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. The use of Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as an analytical tool, as Adjusted EBITDA does 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 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, property charges and other and loss on extinguishment of debt, net of participation interest and taxes. Adjusted net income/loss, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is presented as supplemental disclosure because management believes it provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our performance, in addition to income/loss computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income/loss 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 Studio City International Holdings 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.
