Studio City International Holdings Limited Announces Unaudited First Quarter 2021 Earnings
来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 28 4月 2021 07:26:13 America/Chicago
MACAU, April 28, 2021 (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 first quarter of 2021.
Total operating revenues for the first quarter of 2021 were US$28.6 million, compared to total operating revenues of US$37.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in total operating revenues was due to the decrease in revenues from the provision of gaming related services and lower non-gaming revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a year-over-year decline in inbound tourism in the first quarter of 2021 since the first quarter of 2020 was only partially impacted by the restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Revenues from the provision of gaming related services are derived from the provision of facilities for the operations of Studio City Casino by Melco Resorts (Macau) Limited (the “Gaming Operator”), a subsidiary of Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (“Melco”) and holder of a gaming subconcession, and services related thereto.
Studio City Casino generated gross gaming revenues of US$98.5 million and US$146.7 million for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Studio City’s rolling chip volume was US$0.50 billion for the first quarter of 2021 versus US$1.38 billion in the first quarter of 2020. The rolling chip win rate was 0.29% in the first quarter of 2021 versus 3.31% in the first quarter of 2020. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.85% - 3.15%.
Mass market table games drop decreased to US$309.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared with US$352.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The mass market table games hold percentage was 29.1% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 25.9% in the first quarter of 2020.
Gaming machine handle for the first quarter of 2021 was US$278.3 million, compared with US$311.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. The gaming machine win rate was 2.5% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 3.2% in the first quarter of 2020.
Total gaming taxes and the costs incurred in connection with the operation of Studio City Casino deducted from gross gaming revenues were US$97.3 million and US$141.2 million in the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Revenues from the provision of gaming related services were US$1.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with revenues from the provision of gaming related services of US$5.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. Revenues from the provision of gaming related services are net of gaming taxes and the costs incurred in connection with the operation of Studio City Casino deducted by the Gaming Operator pursuant to the Services and Right to Use Arrangements.
Total non-gaming revenues at Studio City for the first quarter of 2021 were US$27.3 million, compared with US$31.6 million for the first quarter of 2020.
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2021 was US$45.1 million, compared with operating loss of US$63.4 million in the first quarter of 2020.
Studio City generated negative Adjusted EBITDA(1) of US$13.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to negative Adjusted EBITDA of US$18.2 million in the first quarter of 2020. The change was mainly attributable to the lower operating costs as a result of lower business volumes and our cost containment efforts, partially offset by the decrease in revenues from the provision of gaming related services and lower non-gaming revenues.
Net loss attributable to Studio City International Holdings Limited for the first quarter of 2021 was US$75.8 million, compared with net loss attributable to Studio City International Holdings Limited of US$70.9 million in the first quarter of 2020. The net loss attributable to participation interest was US$14.8 million and US$21.3 million in the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Total net non-operating expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were US$45.4 million, which mainly included loss on extinguishment of debt of US$28.8 million and interest expenses of US$23.2 million, net of amounts capitalized, partially offset by net foreign exchange gains of US$5.7 million.
Depreciation and amortization costs of US$31.6 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2021, of which US$0.8 million was related to the amortization expense for the land use right.
The negative Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City for the three months ended March 31, 2021 referred to in Melco’s earnings release dated April 28, 2021 (“Melco’s earnings release”) is US$8.2 million less than the negative 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 intercompany costs related to the table games operations at Studio City Casino.
Financial Position and Capital Expenditures
Total cash and bank balances as of March 31, 2021 aggregated to US$543.5 million (December 31, 2020: US$575.4 million), including US$0.1 million of restricted cash (December 31, 2020: US$0.1 million). Total debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs at the end of the first quarter of 2021, was US$1.73 billion (December 31, 2020: US$1.58 billion).
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2021 were US$78.3 million.
Recent Developments
The COVID-19 outbreak continues to have a material effect on our operations, financial position, and prospects during the second quarter of 2021.
Despite the nationwide resumption of issuance of Individual Visit Scheme visas by China in September 2020, our operations continue to be impacted by significant travel bans, restrictions, and quarantine requirements imposed by the governments in Macau, Hong Kong and China, and such bans, restrictions and requirements have been, and may continue to be, modified by the relevant authorities from time to time as COVID-19 developments unfold. Additionally, health-related precautionary measures remain in place at our property, which continue to impact visitation and customer spending. Furthermore, we continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the construction of Studio City Phase 2. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, we estimated a construction period of approximately 32 months for Phase 2. With the disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak, the construction period has been delayed and is expected to extend beyond the estimated 32 months and the current development period.
As the disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak are ongoing, any recovery from such disruptions will depend on future events, such as the successful production, distribution and widespread acceptance of safe and effective vaccines, the development of effective treatments for COVID-19, including for new strains of COVID-19, the duration of travel and visa restrictions as well as customer sentiment and behavior, including the length of time before customers resume traveling and participating in entertainment and leisure activities at high-density venues and the impact of potential higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels and loss of personal wealth resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak on consumer behavior related to discretionary spending and traveling, all of which are highly uncertain.

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. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. This non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of the performance of our business. While we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income/loss, cash flow or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities. 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. In addition, the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. 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. Adjusted net income/loss 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.
