MPEL Announces Third Quarter 2008 Earnings
New York, November 13, 2008 — Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (NASDAQ: MPEL) (“MPEL”), a developer and owner of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities, today reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2008.
For the third quarter of 2008, net revenue was US$295.2 million, up from US$113.3 million for the comparable period ending September 30, 2007. The revenue increase was primarily driven by substantially improved operating performance at Crown Macau, which opened during the second quarter 2007.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was US$20.8 million for the third quarter of 2008, up from a loss of US$9.8 million in the third quarter of 2007. Adjusting for the adverse hold variance from theoretical in the third quarter results in an increase in adjusted EBITDA to US$25.9 million. Actual hold at Crown Macau year to date is in line with theoretical at 2.85%.
The Company recorded a net loss for the third quarter of 2008 of US$21.1 million, or US$0.05 per ADS, compared to a net loss of US$45.2 million, or US$0.11 per ADS, in the third quarter of 2007.
Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MPEL, commented, “Our capital raising efforts in 2007 in both the equity and debt markets have put us in a strong position relative to most of our peers in the industry. Phases I and II of City of Dreams are fully funded, and the project remains on timetable to open Phase I in the first half of next year. Our performance against budget

Page 1 of 9


 

remains unchanged from previous announcements. We held approximately US$886 million of cash in our balance sheet at the end of the third quarter and had undrawn credit facilities available, subject to satisfaction of the relevant conditions precedent, of an additional US$764 million. We forecast to spend in real cash terms approximately US$1.1 billion on construction activities and pre-opening preparations at City of Dreams in the time between the start of the current quarter and the opening of Phase I in the first half of next year. We expect that City of Dreams will be cash generative immediately following the opening of its Phase I, but even ignoring this future operating cash flow, it is important to stress that we have sufficient liquidity available to us today to complete and open Phases I and II at City of Dreams.
“Our outlook for the Macau market remains strong and we are confident that City of Dreams will set a new standard for casino development in Macau. The tempered supply growth outlook for the market will benefit City of Dreams, and a more staggered pattern of project openings will allow the market’s tourism infrastructure to catch up with supply.
“We have commenced interior fit out throughout the podium and within the Hard Rock Hotel and Crown Towers Hotel. Phase II of City of Dreams, consisting of the Grand Hyatt Macau twin towers and the Theater of Dreams, is on track to open in the third quarter of 2009. Recruitment for City of Dreams is well underway and we have developed aggressive human resources outreach programs in Macau, as well as hosting a number of successful recruitment events in cities throughout China.
“At Crown Macau, we continue to believe that the implementation of commission caps will enhance our competitive position in the market and drive improved profitability. That said, market conditions remain challenging, and, in response, we are announcing further developments to the property to concentrate on the Asian VIP junket market.

Page 2 of 9


 

“The property will continue to provide a contemporary and up-market offering to its junket customers. However, we have identified various ways which will deliver a variety of overhead reduction initiatives that are designed to improve margins without compromising the player experience. We believe these measures will yield annualized operating cost savings of approximately US$25 million, starting in December 2008.
“At the same time I am very pleased to announce the return to MPEL of Ted Chan Ying Tat as the President of the Crown Macau property with immediate effect. Ted’s expertise in the rolling chip market will be a tremendous asset to us as we continue to concentrate on the rolling chip segment of the market.
“As part of these changes, we are working on a new brand for the Crown Macau property and will make a further announcement in the coming weeks. The prestigious Crown brand and its associated six-star experience will in the future have its sole focus in Macau within the Crown Towers precinct at City of Dreams. Specifically, the Crown Towers precinct encompasses the Crown Towers hotel, VIP gaming salons and high end restaurants at City of Dreams targeting the VIP direct player market. MPEL believes City of Dreams, with its combined focus on mass market and VIP gaming, as well as world class entertainment, restaurants and retail, will be an excellent representation of the standards of luxury and service for which the Crown brand is famous.
“Finally, we announce the recent decision taken by Garry Saunders, Chief Operating Officer, to resign from the Company for personal reasons and I would like to extend our thanks to Garry for his support over the past couple of years.”
Crown Macau 3Q Results
For the quarter ending September 30, 2008, net revenue at Crown Macau was US$266.3 million versus US$93.3 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2007. Crown Macau generated adjusted EBITDA of US$20.5 million in the third

quarter of 2008 compared with a loss of US$10.4 million in the third quarter of 2007.
Rolling chip volume totaled US$14.2 billion for the third quarter of 2008, up from US$4.8 billion in the third quarter of 2007. The rolling chip table games hold percentage in the third quarter of 2008 (calculated before discounts and commissions) was 2.6% versus 2.3% recorded in the third quarter of 2007. Our target rolling chip hold percentage is 2.85%.
In the mass market table games segment, drop (non rolling chip) totaled US$91.24 million in the third quarter of 2008, down from US$99.3 million generated in the third quarter of 2007. The average number of mass market tables in service in the third quarter of 2008 was 34, as compared to 131 in the third quarter of 2007. The mass market table games hold percentage was approximately 12.3% in the third quarter of 2008, below our expected range for mass market table games hold percentage of 16% - 18%. The mass market table games hold percentage for the third quarter of 2007 was 17.4%.
Gaming machine handle (volume) was US$48.1 million and gaming machine revenue was US$3.7 million in the third quarter of 2008, down slightly from US$4.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. The number of gaming machines at Crown Macau in the third quarter of 2008 declined 68% to 173 from 532 in the comparable quarter last year.
Total non-gaming revenue at Crown Macau in the third quarter of 2008 was US$9.6 million, up from US$8.1 million in the third quarter of 2007. Occupancy per available room in the third quarter of 2008 was 95% and the average daily rate (ADR) was US$238 per occupied room. This compares with occupancy and ADR of 56% and US$234, respectively, in the third quarter of 2007.

Mocha Clubs 3Q Results
Net operating revenue from Mocha Clubs totaled US$24.2 million in the third quarter of 2008, up from US$20.1 million in the third quarter of 2007.
Mocha Clubs generated US$6.7 million of adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2008, which compares with US$5.9 million in the third quarter of 2007.
The number of gaming machines in operation at the Mocha Clubs averaged approximately 1,029 across six locations in the third quarter of 2008. Average net win per gaming machine per day increased to US$252 in this period from US$220, as compared with the same period in 2007. We expect to re-open our seventh Mocha location, currently under renovation, in the first quarter of 2009.
Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Total non-operating expenses for the third quarter of 2008 were US$1.6 million, which included US$1.2 million in interest income and US$0.2 million in net foreign exchange gains, less other non-recurring finance costs of US$3.3 million. Capitalized interest during the third quarter of 2008 totaled US$10.7 million. Pre-opening expenses related to the development of City of Dreams were US$6.7 million for the third quarter of 2008. Corporate expenses and other costs totaled US$6.4 million in the third quarter of 2008. Total stock based compensation costs for MPEL were US$1.9 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2008.
Depreciation and amortization costs of US$32.1 million were booked in the third quarter of 2008, of which US$14.3 million was related to the amortization of our gaming sub-concession and US$4.6 million was related to the amortization of land use rights.
Financial Position and Capital Expenditure
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2008, including restricted cash, totaled US$885.8 million. Total outstanding debts at the end of the third quarter of 2008 were US$1.1 billion, of which US$115.6 million represented loans from

Page 5 of 9


 

MPEL’s two major shareholders. Total debt to shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2008 was 45%.
Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2008 were US$364.3 million, essentially all of which were attributable to the development of City of Dreams.
Nine Month Results
For the nine month period ending September 30, 2008, the Company reported revenue of US$1.2 billion versus US$178.8 million in the nine month period ending September 30, 2007. The year over year revenue increase was driven by improved operating performance at Crown Macau and a full three quarters of operations at Crown Macau, which opened in May 2007.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
(1) “Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, stock-based compensation costs, and other

Page 7 of 9


 

non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors. MPEL also presents adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way to measure a company’s ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures, and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of MPEL’s performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditure or the cost of capital. MPEL compensates for these limitations by using adjusted EBITDA as only one of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Such GAAP measurements include operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operations and cash flow data. MPEL has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. Also, MPEL’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
