China – Enorme stijgingen in Macau zorgen voor een stijging van 220 procent voor Melco
By Phil - 6 september 2023
Melco Resorts & Entertainment generated operating revenues for the second quarter of 2023 of US$947.9m, representing an increase of approximately 220 per cent from US$296.1m for the comparable period in 2022.
De stijging van de totale bedrijfsopbrengsten was voornamelijk toe te schrijven aan de verbeterde prestaties in alle gamingsegmenten en niet-gamingactiviteiten, voornamelijk als gevolg van de versoepeling van de COVID-19-gerelateerde beperkingen in Macau in januari 2023, de openingen van Studio City Phase 2's Epic Tower en indoor waterpark in april 2023, evenals de lancering van residentieconcerten in Studio City in dezelfde maand.
Het bedrijfsresultaat voor het tweede kwartaal van 2023 bedroeg 64.3 miljoen dollar, vergeleken met een operationeel verlies van 209.2 miljoen dollar in het tweede kwartaal van 2022.
Melco generated Adjusted Property EBITDA of US$267.3m in the second quarter of 2023, compared with negative Adjusted Property EBITDA of US$13.m in the second quarter of 2022.
Net loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the second quarter of 2023 was US$23.4m, or US$0.05 per ADS, compared with US$251.5m, or US$0.53 per ADS, in the second quarter of 2022. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was US$27.7m and US$43.2m during the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, all of which were related to Studio City, City of Dreams Manila, and City of Dreams Mediterranean and Other.
Lawrence Ho, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The strength of our Macau recovery is evident in the 43 per cent increase in gross gaming revenue in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023. We’ve seen mass drop increase month-to-month and turnover in our premium direct VIP segment continued to exceed 2019 during the second quarter.
“Labor supply issues in Macau have been largely resolved. We have been able to provide our customers with Melco’s full suite of services and amenities. We expect to add another 560 hotel rooms to our portfolio with the opening of W Macau at Studio City in September and are well positioned to support the continuing increase of customers in Macau.
“Het massasegment loopt ook voorop in het herstel op de Filippijnen en blijft in het tweede kwartaal van 2019 beter presteren dan 2023. En in Cyprus hebben we City of Dreams Mediterranean in juli opengesteld voor het publiek, na een succesvolle zachte opening in juni, en we We zijn enthousiast over de vooruitzichten nu we onze activiteiten uitbreiden.
“Milieuduurzaamheid is ingebouwd in de kern van ons bedrijf en ingebed in onze activiteiten. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn onder meer het geavanceerde waterfiltratiesysteem dat in ons waterpark in Studio City is geïnstalleerd om het waterverbruik te verminderen en het hergebruik van water te verbeteren, en zorgvuldig ontworpen duurzame verpakkingen en voorzieningen die vrij zijn van plastic voor eenmalig gebruik. We zetten ook ons werk voort om BREEAM-certificeringen te behalen voor Studio City Phase 2 en City of Dreams Mediterranean na de voltooiing van de bouw van deze eigendommen.”

Studio City generated Adjusted EBITDA of US$41.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with negative Adjusted EBITDA of US$31.1 million in the second quarter of 2022.
