Exhibit 99.1
Wynn Resorts, Limited Reports Second Quarter Results
LAS VEGAS, August 1, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wynn Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq:
WYNN) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30,
2005. Second quarter results include Wynn Las Vegas' first 64 days of
operations.
Adjusted earnings (excluding $43.4 million in pre-opening expenses for Wynn
Las Vegas, Wynn Macau, and Encore) were $8.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted
share (Adjusted EPS) (1). On a US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) basis, net loss was $35.2 million, or a net loss of $0.36 per
diluted share.
Wynn Las Vegas
On June 2, 2005, Wynn Resorts reported operating results for Wynn Las Vegas'
first 34 days of operations. The property continued to perform strongly
throughout June. For the first 64 days of operations, Wynn Las Vegas generated
Net Revenues of $201.1 million.
Net gaming revenues for the period were $98.7 million. The slot segment
produced net revenues of $34.2 million, with win per unit per day of $273. The
table games segment generated net revenues of $62.0 million, representing win
per table per day of $7,117 for the period. Table games win percentage was
21.1% (before discounts), which is within the property's expected range of 18
to 22%.
Since opening on April 28, 2005, Wynn Las Vegas' average daily rate (ADR) per
room was $284 and occupancy of available guestrooms was 90.1%, generating
revenue per available room (REVPAR) of $255 for the period. Gross non-gaming
revenues for the period were $127.3 million and net non-gaming revenues were
$102.4 million. The food and beverage, retail and entertainment operations
generated gross revenues of $48.1 million, $16.9 million and $9.6
respectively.
Wynn Las Vegas generated adjusted EBITDA (2) of $58.7 million during the
quarter, representing a 29.2% margin on net revenues. The adjusted EBITDA
margin reflects high staffing levels and other costs related to the opening of
Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Las Vegas' pre-opening costs during the quarter were
$36.9 million, including expenses associated with hiring and training
employees, marketing expenses, and various other costs incurred prior to the
property's opening on April 28, 2005. The pre-opening costs associated with
the opening of Wynn Las Vegas are included in the $2.7-$2.75 billion project
budget.
Steve Wynn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wynn Resorts commented,
"The initial response from customers and employees has been very gratifying.
In our first two months of operations, we achieved outstanding revenue numbers
in various departments including slots, tables and retail. We deliberately and
substantially overstaffed in order to offset our expected initial
disadvantages in productivity: we had more than 9,000 employees working with
approximately 58 newly integrated operating systems. In the upcoming months,
our main focus will be on raising margins through increased operational
efficiencies."
Wynn Macau
The Company broke ground for Wynn Macau in June 2004 and expects to open to
the public in September 2006. Construction of Wynn Macau is progressing on
schedule and within budget. Detailed interior design work continues, with the
majority of architectural and structural design work now complete.
Superstructure works are well underway with the hotel tower reaching the 23rd
floor level. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had funded approximately $205.7
million of project costs and estimates that approximately $498.3 million will
be spent to complete Wynn Macau.
Plans are also underway for a $345.0 million expansion. The Company expects
construction of the expansion to commence in the third quarter of 2005, with
completion slated for the first half of 2007. An increase in Wynn Macau's
credit facilities to fund the development and construction of the expansion is
expected to close in the third quarter of 2005.
Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Interest expense net of $10.5 million in capitalized interest was $26.3
million for the second quarter of 2005. Depreciation and amortization expenses
were $26.1 million and pre-opening expenses totaled $43.4 million during the
quarter, of which $4.1 million were related to Wynn Macau. Corporate expense
in the quarter was $5.0 million.
Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures
Unrestricted cash balances at June 30, 2005 were $485.8 million, while
restricted cash balances were $592.0 million. Total debt outstanding at the
end of the quarter was $2.0 billion, of which $250 million is our Convertible
Debentures. Capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2005 totaled
$268.2 million.
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 industry, 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) is presented exclusively as a
supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is
widely used to measure performance of, and a principal basis for
valuation of gaming companies. This measure is 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 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 Wynn
Macau, 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, Limited's 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.
