Wynn Resorts, Limited Reports Third Quarter Results

LAS VEGAS, October 19, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wynn Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq: WYNN) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
 
Net revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $1.3 billion, compared to $1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2010. The revenue increase was driven primarily by a 41.7% increase in revenues at Wynn Macau. Adjusted property EBITDA (1) was $381.1 million for the third quarter of 2011, 38.8% above the $274.5 million reported in the third quarter of 2010.
 
On a US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, net income attributable to Wynn Resorts for the third quarter of 2011 was $127.1 million, or $1.01 per diluted share. The net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts of $33.5 million, or ($0.27) per diluted share in the third quarter of 2010 included a $64.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
 
Adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts in the third quarter of 2011 was $132.6 million, or $1.05 per diluted share (adjusted EPS)(2) compared to an adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts of $48.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2010.
 
Wynn Resorts also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend for the quarter of $0.50 per common share.  This dividend will be payable on November 16, 2011, to stockholders of record on November 2, 2011.
 
Wynn Macau Third Quarter Results
 
In the third quarter of 2011, net revenues were $951.4 million, a 41.7% increase from the $671.4 million generated in the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted property EBITDA in the third quarter of 2011 was $296.0 million, up 49.5% from $198.0 million in the third quarter of 2010.
 
Table games results in Macau are segregated into two distinct reporting categories, the VIP segment and the mass market segment.
 
Table games turnover in the VIP segment was $31.4 billion for the third quarter of 2011, a 45.0% increase from $21.7 billion in the third quarter of 2010. VIP table games win as a percentage of turnover (calculated before discounts and commissions) for the quarter was 2.95%, in-line with the expected range of 2.7% to 3.0% and higher than the 2.88% experienced in the third quarter of 2010.
 
Table games drop in the mass market category was $704.3 million during the period, a 16.4% increase from $605.1 million in the third quarter of 2010.  Mass market table games win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 27.7% was in-line with our revised range of 26% to 28% and higher than the 22.8% generated in the 2010 quarter.
 
Slot machine handle increased 6.9% to $1.1 billion as compared to the prior year quarter. Win per unit per day was 29.3% higher at $696, compared to $538 in the third quarter of 2010.
 
Wynn Macau achieved an Average Daily Rate (ADR) of $315 for the third quarter of 2011, 9.7% above the $287 reported in the 2010 quarter.  The property’s occupancy was 93.7%, compared to 87.6% during the prior year period, and revenue per available room (REVPAR) was $295 in the 2011 quarter, 17.3% above the $251 reported in the prior year quarter.
 
Gross non-casino revenues at Wynn Macau increased 32.4% during the quarter to $102.6 million, driven by strong performance from all non-casino segments.
 
Including Encore, we currently have 509 tables (286 VIP tables, 212 mass market tables and 11 poker tables) and 943 slot machines at Wynn Macau.

We continue to work on the final project scope, timeline and budget for our Cotai project.

Wynn Las Vegas Third Quarter Results
 
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, net revenues for our Las Vegas operations were $346.9 million, 3.7% higher than in the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted property EBITDA of $85.1 million (with a 24.5% EBITDA margin on net revenues) was up 11.3% versus the $76.5 million generated in the comparable period in 2010.
 
Net casino revenues in the third quarter of 2011 were $126.9 million, down 8.3% from the third quarter of 2010. Table games drop was $603.5 million, compared to drop of $545.1 million in the 2010 quarter and table games win percentage of 18.3% was below the property’s expected range of 21% to 24% and the 22.8% reported in the 2010 quarter. Slot machine handle of $673.8 million was 2.4% below the comparable period of 2010, however net slot win was up 11.2% due to better hold in the 2011 quarter.
 
Gross non-casino revenues for the quarter were $265.9 million, an 11.1% increase from the third quarter of 2010, driven by higher revenues across all non-gaming segments.
 
Room revenues were up 18.7% to $89.7 million during the quarter, versus $75.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. Average Daily Rate (ADR) was up 14.2% to $240 and occupancy of 88.3% was slightly above the 87.8% for the third quarter of 2010. Revenue per available room (REVPAR) was $212 in the 2011 quarter, 14.9% above the $184 reported in the prior year quarter. During the third quarter of 2011, we had 3.1% of total rooms unavailable due to an air rebalancing project, versus 6.2% of the rooms out due to renovations in the third quarter of 2010.
 
Food and beverage revenues increased 6.7% to $119.3 million, retail revenues were $21.5 million in the quarter, 3.9% above last year’s levels and entertainment revenues increased 20.7% to $21.9 million from the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to increased revenues from Garth Brooks and Le Rêve.
 
Balance Sheet
 
Our total cash balance at September 30, 2011 was $1.8 billion. Total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $3.1 billion, including $2.6 billion of Wynn Las Vegas debt and $513 million of Wynn Macau debt.

Forward-looking Statements
 
This release contains forward-looking statements regarding operating trends and future results of operations.  Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, competition in the casino/hotel and resorts industries, the Company’s dependence on existing management, levels of travel, leisure and casino spending, general economic conditions, and changes in gaming laws or regulations. Additional information concerning potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the Company's other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP financial measures
 
(1) “Adjusted property EBITDA” is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, property charges and other, corporate expenses, stock-based compensation, and other non-operating income and expenses, and includes equity in income from unconsolidated affiliates.  Adjusted property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses adjusted property EBITDA as a measure 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 property 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 EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including Wynn Resorts, Limited, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties.  However, adjusted property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income 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 GAAP.  Unlike net income, adjusted property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in adjusted property EBITDA.  Also, Wynn Resorts’ calculation of adjusted property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
 
(2) Adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts is net income before pre-opening costs, property charges and other, and other non-cash non-operating income and expenses.  Adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts and adjusted net income per share attributable to Wynn Resorts (“EPS”) are presented as supplemental disclosures because management believes that these financial measures are widely used to measure the performance, and as a principal 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 GAAP, as an additional basis for assessing period-to-period results of our business. Adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts and adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts per share may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
 
The Company has included schedules in the tables that accompany this release that reconcile (i) net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts to adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, and (ii) operating income (loss) to adjusted property EBITDA and adjusted property EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts.
