MGM MGM Resorts International

Core Operations Remain Strong; Progress Made on Growth Initiatives LAS VEGAS, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MGM MIRAGE (NYSE:MGM) today reported its third quarter 2005 financial results. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations per diluted share ("Adjusted EPS") increased to a third quarter record of $0.38 in 2005, an increase of 36% over the previous third quarter record of $0.28 earned in the 2004 quarter.(1) The strong earnings were driven by the accretive acquisition of the Mandalay Resort Group properties ("Mandalay"), as well as continued strength in core hotel and gaming operations. Net revenues increased 74% to $1.8 billion for the quarter. Same-store net revenues were $1.1 billion for the quarter, up 10% over prior year. References in this release to "same-store" results reflect the Company's operations excluding the newly acquired Mandalay resorts and Monte Carlo in both periods. Same-store results also exclude Beau Rivage in both periods. Third quarter REVPAR (revenue per available room) at the Company's Las Vegas Strip resorts increased 9% over the prior year on a same-store basis, following a 10% year-over-year increase in the 2004 quarter. On a pro forma basis (including Mandalay for both periods), REVPAR on the Las Vegas Strip increased 10%. Current quarter results were negatively impacted by the closure of Beau Rivage following Hurricane Katrina as well as the impact of Hurricane Dennis in July. Beau Rivage earned operating income of $5 million in the current quarter versus $18 million in the prior year; this shortfall equates to approximately $0.03 per diluted share. See below for further discussion of the financial statement impacts of Hurricane Katrina. The current year bad debt provision is also approximately $0.03 per diluted share higher than the prior year's abnormally low provision, negatively affecting the comparison of earnings to the prior year. Adjusted EPS (and Adjusted Earnings) excludes discontinued operations, preopening and start-up expenses, restructuring costs, property transactions, tax adjustments and gains or losses on early retirement of debt.(2) On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased to $0.31 in the 2005 quarter from $0.27 in the third quarter of 2004. GAAP diluted earnings per share, including the results of discontinued operations, was also $0.31 in the 2005 period versus $0.45 in 2004. The 2004 quarter included a $74 million pre-tax gain on the sale of MGM Grand Australia. "Despite the closure of Beau Rivage, we were able to deliver solid operating results, led by continued strength at our Las Vegas Strip resorts," said Terry Lanni, MGM MIRAGE's Chairman and CEO. "We believe trends on the Las Vegas Strip will remain positive in the fourth quarter and into 2006. We are also confident of the Gulf Coast's future, and we are committed to rebuilding quickly. Our goal is to ensure that Beau Rivage remains the premier destination resort on the Gulf Coast for many years to come." Third Quarter 2005 Company Highlights * Generated net revenues of $1.8 billion; on a same-store basis, net revenues were $1.1 billion, up 10% from 2004; * Produced property-level EBITDA(3) of $562 million; on a same-store basis, property-level EBITDA was $338 million, up 7% over prior year; operating income was $340 million in the quarter versus $222 million in 2004; * Invested $191 million of capital in the Company's resorts and development projects and repurchased $85 million of Company common stock, while holding debt levels flat; * Responded rapidly in Mississippi, guaranteeing wages and benefits for employees into December 2005 and making significant contributions to the community; * Announced further details of Project CityCenter, including an all-star lineup of world-class architects, and selected Taubman as the Company's retail partner for Project CityCenter; * Opened two new restaurants featuring the world-renowned cuisine of legendary chef Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand Las Vegas; * Named 2005 "Corporation of the Year" by the Latin Chamber of Commerce; * Secured employment contracts with the Company's senior management team into 2010. Financial Statement Impact of Hurricane Katrina Beau Rivage sustained significant damage in late August 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina and has been closed since and will remain closed for the foreseeable future. The Company maintains insurance covering both property damage and business interruption as a result of the storm. The deductible under this coverage is $15 million, based on the amount of damage incurred. Based on current estimates, insurance proceeds are expected to exceed the net book value of damaged assets; therefore, the Company will not record an impairment charge related to the storm and upon ultimate settlement of the claim will likely record a gain. The damaged assets have been written off, and a corresponding insurance receivable has been recorded. Business interruption coverage covers lost profits and other costs incurred for the construction period plus up to six months following the re-opening of the facility. Expected costs during the interruption period are less than the anticipated business interruption proceeds; therefore, post- storm costs are being offset by the expected recoveries. Post-storm costs and expected recoveries are recorded net within "General and Administrative" expenses, except for depreciation of non-damaged assets, which is classified as "Depreciation and Amortization." Detailed Financial Results The following table shows key financial results for the third quarter and year-to-date: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ------------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ------ ------ ------ ------ (In millions) Casino revenue, net $805.3 $541.0 $2,184.5 $1,651.4 Non-casino revenue, net 1,002.9 495.4 2,543.8 1,524.0 Net revenue 1,808.2 1,036.4 4,728.3 3,175.4 Operating income 340.0 222.4 1,011.1 737.6 Income from continuing operations 93.2 76.2 345.5 275.0 Discontinued operations, net -- 50.7 -- 62.5 Net income 93.2 126.9 345.5 337.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Property-level EBITDA(3) $562.5 $347.6 $1,566.5 $1,102.1 EBITDA (after corporate expense)(3) 530.4 328.5 1,476.0 1,048.7 Adjusted Earnings(2) 112.3 81.0 377.8 289.9 Net revenue in the third quarter increased 74% from prior year and 10% on a same-store basis. Hotel results, as well as results in several other non- gaming areas, were strong as visitor volumes and the Company's market-leading resort amenities continue to drive revenue growth across all business lines. Casino revenue increased 49% in the 2005 quarter and 4% on a same-store basis. On a same-store basis, table games volume, including baccarat, was up 2%, including a strong 10% increase in baccarat volume, despite the presence of a major new competitor. Table games hold percentages were near the mid- point of the Company's normal range for both the 2005 and 2004 periods. Slot revenue in the quarter was up 4% from 2004 on a same-store basis, on top of a 9% year-over-year increase in the 2004 third quarter. Bellagio's slot revenue increased 13%, driven in large part by additional customers from the Spa Tower expansion. Non-casino revenue was up 102% in the quarter and 17% on a same-store basis. Hotel revenue increased 115% (17% on a same-store basis), due to having more rooms available with the addition of Mandalay and the Bellagio expansion as well as continued strong year-over-year increases in room rates. The following table shows key hotel statistics for the Company's Las Vegas Strip resorts on a same-store and pro forma basis (pro forma includes Mandalay and Monte Carlo for both periods): Three Months Ended ------------------ September 30, September 30, 2005 2004 ------------- ------------- Same-store basis: Occupancy % 97% 97% Average Daily Rate (ADR) $152 $138 Revenue per Available Room (REVPAR) $147 $134 Pro forma basis: Occupancy % 97% 95% Average Daily Rate (ADR) $133 $123 Revenue per Available Room (REVPAR) $128 $117 On a same-store basis, the Company had 8% (119,000) more room nights available in the current year period due to the Bellagio expansion and remodeled Skylofts and West Wing rooms at MGM Grand Las Vegas, which are achieving higher rates than before the remodel. Pro forma occupancy increased as a result of the Company's continued implementation of enhanced yield management strategies at the Mandalay resorts. Food and beverage revenue increased 79% (12% on a same-store basis), resulting from new restaurants and lounges added since last year, particularly at MGM Grand Las Vegas, as well as additional volume generated by the Spa Tower addition at Bellagio. Entertainment revenues were up significantly, 36% on a same-store basis, over the prior year quarter as a result of the contribution from KA at MGM Grand Las Vegas, which debuted in December 2004. Property-level EBITDA increased 62% for the quarter (7% on a same-store basis) and the property-level EBITDA margin was 32% on a same-store basis in 2005 versus 33% in 2004. Operating income increased 53% over prior year as a result of the trends described above. Third quarter 2005 Adjusted Earnings increased by 39% compared to 2004 due primarily to the higher operating income, offset by higher interest expense as a result of the Mandalay merger. For the third quarter of 2005, Adjusted Earnings excluded $29.8 million ($19.1 million, net of tax) of items as follows: * Net property transactions of $22.6 million ($14.7 million, net of tax), including the write-off of assets replaced in connection with expansion and remodel projects at Bellagio, Mirage and TI ($19.8 million), demolition costs associated with the Mirage showroom and the Bellagio employee parking garage ($1.3 million), and other net losses on fixed assets; * Preopening and start-up expenses of $6.1 million ($3.3 million, net of tax), including $5.4 million related to Project CityCenter, along with costs associated with The Residences at MGM Grand and the Joel Robuchon restaurants at MGM Grand Las Vegas. * Tax adjustments of $1.1 million due to a true-up of the benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2005 upon the repatriation of the MGM Grand Australia sales proceeds. In the third quarter of 2004, items excluded in the determination of Adjusted Earnings totaled $6.5 million ($4.8 million, net of tax), including minor amounts of preopening and start-up expenses, property transactions, restructuring costs and tax adjustments. Financial Position The Company generated significant operating cash flow in the third quarter as a result of its positive operating results and the addition of Mandalay. The Company utilized available cash flow to make capital investments in its resorts and development projects as well as repurchase its common stock, without increased net borrowings. During the third quarter, the Company repurchased 2 million shares of its common stock for $85 million. Third quarter capital investments totaled $191 million, which included expenditures for the theatre for the Beatles/Cirque du Soleil production show at The Mirage, the new Joel Robuchon restaurants at MGM Grand Las Vegas, the purchase of land for the permanent casino at MGM Grand Detroit, continued design work for Project CityCenter and other routine capital expenditures. "We continue to execute on our capital strategy, utilizing available cash flow from operations to make investments in targeted projects to enhance our resort amenities," said Jim Murren, MGM MIRAGE President, CFO and Treasurer. "We expect this trend to continue over the next several quarters, with cash flow available after capital expenditures used to repay debt and strategically repurchase shares." Outlook The Company expects Las Vegas Strip REVPAR growth (on a pro forma basis, including Mandalay for both periods) of approximately 6% for the fourth quarter, following a 13% year-over-year increase in the 2004 fourth quarter. "The fourth quarter looks to be an exciting one for our Company, with several large events planned and continued strength in forward convention and room bookings," Mr. Murren said. "These factors should result in a healthy increase in earnings over the 2004 quarter, in which we earned a fourth quarter record $0.26 per share on an adjusted basis, even with the closure of Beau Rivage. Beau Rivage contributed approximately $0.03 per share in the 2004 fourth quarter. We expect fourth quarter earnings to be in the range of $0.30 to $0.35 per diluted share, which is consistent with analysts' estimates that have been adjusted for the impact of the closure of Beau Rivage."

A complete replay of the call will also be made available at http://www.mgmmirage.com/. Supplemental detailed earnings information will also be available on the Company's website. (1) All share and per share amounts in this release and accompanying tables have been adjusted to reflect a 2-for-1 stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend in May 2005. (2) Adjusted Earnings (and Adjusted EPS) is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is 1) a widely used measure of performance, and 2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies, as this measure is considered by many to be a better measure on which to base expectations of future results than income from continuing operations computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reconciliations of GAAP income from continuing operations and EPS to Adjusted Earnings and EPS are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release. (3) EBITDA is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, preopening and start-up expenses, and property transactions, net. EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is 1) a widely used measure of operating performance in the gaming industry, and 2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. Management uses property-level EBITDA (EBITDA before corporate expense) as the primary measure of the Company's operating resorts' performance, including the evaluation of operating personnel. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, as an indicator of the Company's operating performance; or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity; or as any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in EBITDA. Also, other gaming companies that report EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA in a different manner than the Company. Reconciliations of operating income to EBITDA are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.
