Wynn Resorts, Limited Reports Third Quarter Results
Wynn Las Vegas generates EBITDA of $73.2 million in
its first full quarter of operations
LAS VEGAS, November 8, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wynn Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq:
WYNN) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2005.
Net Revenues for the quarter were $251.4 million and adjusted net loss
(excluding $13.2 million in pre-opening expenses and property charges for Wynn
Las Vegas, Wynn Macau and Encore) was $1.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share
(adjusted EPS) (1). On a US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles)
basis, net loss was $14.2 million, or a net loss of $0.14 per diluted share.
Wynn Las Vegas
Net gaming revenues in the third quarter of 2005 were $123.0 million. Table
games drop was $414.6 million, with win per table per day (before discounts)
of $7,321 for the period. Table games win percentage was 21.9%, which is
within the property's expected range of 18% to 22%. Slot machine win per unit
per day was $251 on handle (volume) of $897.1 million.
Gross non-gaming revenues for the period were $164.7 million and net
non-gaming revenues were $128.4 million. Wynn Las Vegas' room revenues were
$61.4 million. Average daily rate (ADR) was $264 and occupancy was 93%,
generating revenue per available room (REVPAR) of $246 for the period. The
food and beverage, retail and entertainment operations generated gross
revenues of $61.2 million, $16.9 million and $14.0 respectively.
In the 156 days since its April 28th opening, Wynn Las Vegas has generated
property EBITDA of $131.9 million. For the quarter ended September 30, 2005,
Wynn Las Vegas generated adjusted EBITDA (2) of $73.2 million during the
quarter, representing a 29.1% margin on net revenues. Operating efficiencies
continue to improve as our number of full time equivalent employees has
decreased from an average of 9,600 in the second quarter to an average of
8,200 in the third quarter.
On August 27, 2005, Avenue Q, the 2004 Tony Award winning musical, opened at
Wynn Las Vegas. Avenue Q is currently performing ten shows per week in our
Broadway Theater. Performance of our Le Reve show has improved and we have
increased the number of weekly performances for Le Reve from five at opening
to six in June. Beginning October 1st, Le Reve started performing ten times
per week in our Wynn Theater.
Steve Wynn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wynn Resorts commented,
"Our property's performance in the past six months is a source of
gratification for all of us, and all the credit goes to the employees of Wynn
Las Vegas who have managed the challenge of opening that very special property
and revealing the beginning of its extraordinary potential. We continue the
intense planning of the development of our enormous real estate assembly in
the center of Las Vegas and the preparation of Wynn Macau's opening. "
Wynn Macau
In June 2004, the Company broke ground on Wynn Macau, its destination casino
resort in Macau, China. The first phase of the project will utilize
approximately 11 of a total site area of 16 acres of land and includes 600
hotel rooms and suites, approximately 100,000 square feet of casino gaming
space, seven restaurants, approximately 26,000 square feet of retail space, a
spa, a salon, entertainment lounges and meeting facilities. We expect the
first phase to open to the public in the third quarter of 2006. The second
phase will include an additional 92,000 square feet of casino space, a
restaurant, a theater, and a dramatic front feature attraction. The second
phase will be built on the remaining five acres of the Wynn Macau site and
will be integrated into the first phase of Wynn Macau. The second phase is
expected to be completed and open to the public by the third quarter of 2007.
Construction of Wynn Macau is progressing on schedule and within budget. The
building is topped off and the curtain wall and the placement of roof steel
are nearly complete. Work relating to excavation and footings of the second
phase has begun, and that work is progressing as planned. As of September 30,
2005, the Company had funded approximately $308.6 million of a total project
budget of approximately $1.1 billion, with approximately $777.0 million to be
spent to complete Wynn Macau.
On September 14, 2005, the Company announced the completion of an increase and
amendment of Wynn Resorts (Macau) SA's senior secured financing to include
financing for the second phase of Wynn Macau. The senior secured financing for
the project was increased from US$397 to US$764 million. The new financing is
comprised of US$729 million of term loan facilities, a HK$156 million
(approximately US$20 million) term loan facility, and a HK$117 million
(approximately US$15 million) revolving credit facility. The term loan
facilities mature in September 2011, with the revolving credit facility
maturing in September 2007.
Encore at Wynn Las Vegas
We continue to evaluate Encore as part of our overall master plan for the
Company's substantial real estate holdings on the Las Vegas Strip. As a
result, the Company has refined Encore to feature an approximately 2,000-room
hotel tower consisting of approximately 150 suites and 1,850 guest rooms,
fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas. Encore also is expected to include
additional casino space, entertainment venues, restaurants, nightclubs,
swimming pools, a spa and salon, convention and meeting space, and retail
outlets. Once the Company has finalized the budget and plans for Encore, it
will seek the necessary approvals from its Board of Directors and lenders. The
Company expects Encore to open in the second half of 2008.
Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Interest expense, net of $3.3 million in capitalized interest, was $34.9
million for the third quarter of 2005. Depreciation and amortization expenses
were $37.9 million, and pre-opening expenses, primarily related to Wynn Macau,
totaled $7.1 million during the quarter. Corporate expense in the period was
$8.5 million.
Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures
Total cash balance at the end of the quarter was $989.9 million, including
unrestricted cash balances of $552.9 million and restricted cash balances of
$437.0 million. Total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $2.1
billion including $250 million of Convertible Debentures. Capital
expenditures, net of changes in construction payables and retention, during
the third quarter of 2005 totaled $179.7 million, of which $56.6 million was
related to Wynn Macau.
Conference Call Information
The company will hold a conference call to discuss the Company's results on
Thursday, November 3, 2005 at 7:30 a.m. PT (10:30 a.m. ET). Interested parties

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 brief operating history, the Company's
dependence on existing management, levels of travel, leisure and casino
spending, general domestic or international economic conditions, and changes
in gaming laws or regulations. Additional information concerning potential
factors that could affect the Company's financial results are included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and
the Company's other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any
such obligation to) update its forward-looking statements as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP financial measures:
(1) Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS are presented exclusively as a
supplemental disclosure 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 measure
are considered by many to be a better indicator on which to base
expectations of future results than income computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Reconciliations of net loss and net loss per share to adjusted
earnings and adjusted EPS per share are included in the financial
schedules accompanying this release.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, pre-opening, property charges and corporate expenses,
losses on sales of assets, losses from incidental operations, and
other non operating income and expenses. Management uses adjusted
EBITDA as the primary measure of the operating performance of Wynn
Las Vegas and to compare the operating performance of its properties
with those of its competitors.
This information should not be considered as an alternative to any
measure of performance as promulgated under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, such as operating income,
net income, or net cash provided by operating activities.
Wynn Resorts' calculation of adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and
adjusted EBITDA 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: (1) reconcile EBITDA to operating income and net
income; and (2) reconcile net income to adjusted net income.
