Studio City International Holdings Limited Announces Unaudited Fourth Quarter 2022 Earnings

MACAU, March 01, 2023 (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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Total operating revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were US$4.2 million, compared with total operating revenues of US$28.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The change was primarily attributable to the heightened travel restrictions in Macau and mainland China related to COVID-19 during the quarter which led to a decrease in revenue from casino contract and lower non-gaming revenues.

Studio City Casino generated gross gaming revenues of US$40.9 million and US$91.1 million for the fourth quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Studio City Casino’s rolling chip volume was US$251.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus US$474.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The rolling chip win rate was 2.70% in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus 1.84% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.85%- 3.15%.

Mass market table games drop decreased to US$113.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with US$253.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The mass market table games hold percentage was 27.1% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with 29.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Gaming machine handle for the fourth quarter of 2022 was US$124.5 million, compared with US$262.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The gaming machine win rate was 2.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with 2.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Revenue from casino contract was negative US$12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with revenue from casino contract of US$4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. 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$53.4 million and US$87.0 million in the fourth quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Total non-gaming revenues at Studio City for the fourth quarter of 2022 were US$16.7 million, compared with US$24.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was US$70.0 million, compared with operating loss of US$45.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Studio City generated negative Adjusted EBITDA(1) of US$34.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with negative Adjusted EBITDA of US$10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The change was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue from casino contract and lower non-gaming revenues.

Net loss attributable to Studio City International Holdings Limited for the fourth quarter of 2022 was US$85.4 million, compared with net loss attributable to Studio City International Holdings Limited of US$53.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The net loss attributable to participation interest was US$8.0 million and US$10.6 million in the fourth quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Total net non-operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were US$23.6 million, which mainly included interest expenses of US$21.9 million, net of amounts capitalized.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$31.6 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022, 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 December 31, 2022 referred to in Melco’s earnings release dated March 1, 2023 (“Melco’s earnings release”) is US$9.1 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 December 31, 2022 aggregated to US$509.7 million (December 31, 2021: US$499.4 million), including US$0.1 million of restricted cash (December 31, 2021: US$0.1 million). Total debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue premiums, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 was US$2.43 billion (December 31, 2021: US$2.09 billion).

Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2022 were US$64.6 million.

Full Year Results

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Studio City International Holdings Limited reported total operating revenues of US$11.5 million, compared with US$106.9 million in the prior year. The decrease in total operating revenues was primarily attributable to the government mandated temporary casino closures in Macau in July and heightened travel restrictions in Macau and mainland China related to COVID-19 in 2022 which led to a decrease in revenue from casino contract and lower non-gaming revenues.

Operating loss for 2022 was US$277.2 million, compared with operating loss of US$191.6 million for 2021.

Studio City generated negative Adjusted EBITDA of US$140.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with negative Adjusted EBITDA of US$56.5 million in 2021. The change in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly attributable to lower revenue from casino contract and non-gaming revenues.

Net loss attributable to Studio City International Holdings Limited for 2022 was US$326.5 million, compared with net loss attributable to Studio City International Holdings Limited of US$252.6 million for 2021. The net loss attributable to participation interest for 2022 was US$34.9 million and the net loss attributable to participation interest for 2021 was US$49.4 million.

Recent Developments

We expect Studio City Phase 2 to open in the second quarter of 2023. The first stage of opening is expected to include one of our hotel towers and the indoor water park, which is expected to be the largest of its kind in Asia. The second phase of opening is expected to be in the third quarter of 2023.

From January 8, 2023, travelers arriving in Macau from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan were no longer required to present negative nucleic acid tests, and thereby contributed to a 233% increase in Macau’s gross gaming revenue from MOP3.5 billion in December 2022 to MOP11.6 billion in January 2023 according to data reported by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau of Macau. In addition, from February 27, 2023, masks are not required in outdoor places. However, masks are still required on public transportation (except taxis) and in certain indoor areas, such as medical facilities and elderly homes. Requirement to wear masks has been waived in most private indoor areas by their operators or supervisory entities.

While quarantine-free travel within Greater China has resumed, the pace of recovery remains highly uncertain, and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak continue to have a material adverse impact on our operations, financial position and future prospects into the first quarter of 2023.

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, share-based compensation 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.
