This quarterly report includes our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Any discrepancies in any table between totals and sums of amounts listed therein are due to rounding. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures preceding them.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events, including our future operating results and conditions, our prospects and our future financial performance and condition, all of which are largely based on our current expectations and projections. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Moreover, because we operate in a heavily regulated and evolving industry, may become highly leveraged, and operate in Macau, a market that has recently experienced extremely rapid growth and intense competition, new risk factors may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of these factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) growth of the gaming market and visitation in Macau, (ii) capital and credit market volatility, (iii) local and global economic conditions, (iv) our anticipated growth strategies, and (v) our future business development, results of operations and financial condition. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “target”, “aim”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “potential”, “continue”, “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this quarterly report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this quarterly report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Although we will have certain expenses and revenues denominated in Patacas, our revenues and expenses will be denominated predominantly in H.K. dollars and in connection with a portion of our indebtedness and certain expenses, U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from H.K. dollars to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to H.K. dollars in this quarterly report were made at a rate of HK$7.78 to US$1.00.

The H.K. dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the U.S. dollar). Since October 17, 1983, the H.K. dollar has been officially linked to the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.80 to US$1.00. The market exchange rate has not deviated materially from the level of HK$7.80 to US$1.00 since the peg was first established. However, in May 2005, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority broadened the trading band from the original rate of HK$7.80 per U.S. dollar to a rate range of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar. The Hong Kong government has stated its intention to maintain the link at that rate, and it, acting through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, has a number of means by which it may act to maintain exchange rate stability. However, no assurance can be given that the Hong Kong government will maintain the link at HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar or at all.

The noon buying rate on March 29, 2013 in New York City for cable transfers in H.K. dollar per U.S. dollar, as certified for customs purposes by the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States, or the Federal Reserve Board, was HK$7.7629 to US$1.00. On May 17, 2013, the noon buying rate was HK$7.7627 to US$1.00. We make no representation that any H.K. dollar or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or H.K. dollars, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

The Pataca is pegged to the H.K. dollar at a rate of HK$1.00 = MOP1.03. All translations from Patacas to U.S. dollars in this quarterly report were made at the exchange rate of MOP8.0134 = US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Board does not certify for customs purposes a noon buying rate for cable transfers in Patacas.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in connection with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected in the future. Certain statements in this “Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements.

Summary of Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2013, our total net revenues were US$1.15 billion, an increase of 11.3% from US$1.04 billion of net revenues for the first quarter of 2012. Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was US$103.4 million, as compared to US$133.4 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increase in total net revenues was primarily attributable to higher group-wide rolling chip volumes and mass market gross gaming revenues, partially offset by a lower group-wide rolling chip win rate.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of 2013 was US$103.4 million, compared with net income of US$133.4 million in the first quarter of 2012. The year-over-year decrease in net income was primarily attributable to the one-off charge on the extinguishment and modification of debt relating to the refinancing of the 2010 Senior Notes, partially offset by strong growth in underlying operating performance.

The following summarizes the results of our operations:

Results of Operations

City of Dreams First Quarter Results

For the first quarter of 2013, net revenue at City of Dreams was US$837.9 million compared to US$717.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. The significant year-over-year improvement in net revenue was primarily a result of substantial growth in mass market table games volumes and improved mass market table games hold percentage together with strong growth in rolling chip volumes, partially offset by a lower rolling chip win rate.

Rolling chip volume totaled US$23.8 billion for the first quarter of 2013, up 23.9% from US$19.2 billion in the first quarter of 2012, and the rolling chip win rate was 2.7% in the first quarter of 2013 versus 3.0% in the first quarter of 2012. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.7%–3.0%.

Mass market table games drop increased 20.0% to US$1,038.4 million compared with US$865.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. The mass market table games hold percentage was 32.5% in the first quarter of 2013, an increase from 28.8% in the same period last year.

Slot handle for the first quarter of 2013 was US$1,026.6 million, up 49.9% from US$685.0 million generated in the first quarter of 2012.

Total non-gaming revenue at City of Dreams in the first quarter of 2013 was US$65.2 million, up from US$59.5 million in the first quarter of 2012. Occupancy per available room in the first quarter of 2013 was 95% versus 91% in the first quarter of 2012. The average daily rate (“ADR”) in the first quarter of 2013 was US$192 per occupied room, which compares with US$189 in the first quarter of 2012.

Altira Macau First Quarter Results

For the first quarter of 2013, net revenue at Altira Macau was US$265.2 million versus US$261.1 million in the first quarter of 2012. The slight improvement in net revenue was a result of improved rolling chip volumes, partially offset by a lower rolling chip win rate.

Rolling chip volume totaled US$11.8 billion in the first quarter of 2013 versus US$10.9 billion in the first quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, the rolling chip win rate was 2.9%, as compared to 3.1% for the same period a year ago. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.7%–3.0%.

In the mass market table games segment, drop totaled US$164.8 million in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 9.6% from US$150.4 million generated in the comparable period in 2012. The mass market table games hold percentage was 15.0% in the first quarter of 2013 compared with 17.1% in the first quarter of last year.

Total non-gaming revenue at Altira Macau in the first quarter of 2013 was US$9.2 million, up from US$8.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. Occupancy per available room in the first quarter of 2013 was 99%, as compared with 97% with the comparable period in 2012. ADR was US$232 per occupied room, compared to US$225 in the first quarter of 2012.

 

8


Mocha Clubs First Quarter Results

Net revenue from Mocha Clubs totaled US$34.0 million in the first quarter of 2013, down from US$37.3 million in the first quarter of 2012.

The number of gaming machines in operation at Mocha Clubs averaged approximately 2,000 in the first quarter of 2013, compared to approximately 2,100 in the comparable period in 2012. The net win per gaming machine per day was US$214 in the first quarter of 2013, as compared with US$194 in the same period in 2012, an increase of 10.5%.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Total non-operating expense for the first quarter of 2013 was US$84.3 million, which included US$17.9 million in net interest expense, other finance costs of US$3.8 million, and a US$60.8 million one-off charge associated with the extinguishment and modification of debt relating to the refinancing of 2010 Senior Notes. Non-operating expense also included a foreign exchange loss of US$1.9 million, compared to a foreign exchange gain of US$2.1 million in the comparable period of 2012. The year-on-year increase in non-operating expenses of US$64.1 million was predominantly due to the one-off costs associated with the extinguishment and modification of debt and the foreign exchange loss during the first quarter of 2013.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$82.3 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2013, of which US$14.3 million was related to the amortization of our gaming sub-concession and US$5.0 million was related to the amortization of land use rights.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have relied and intend to rely on our cash generated from our operations and our debt and equity financings to meet our financing needs and repay our indebtedness, as the case may be.

As of March 31, 2013, we held cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$1,264.7 million and HK$3.12 billion (equivalent to approximately US$401.1 million) of the 2011 Credit Facilities remained available for future drawdown.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows are generally affected by changes in operating income and accounts receivable with VIP table games play and hotel operations conducted on a cash and credit basis and the remainder of the business, including mass market table games play, slot machine play, food and beverage, and entertainment, conducted primarily on a cash basis.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US$220.6 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to US$245.2 million for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly attributable to an increased working capital for City of Dreams and Alitra Macau, partially offset by increased gaming volume and associated increase in revenues as described in the foregoing section.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was US$542.1 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to net cash used in investing activities of US$83.6 million for the first quarter of 2012.

Our advance to the Parent amounted to US$501.5 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Our total capital expenditure payments for the first quarter of 2013 were US$28.5 million. Such expenditures were mainly associated with enhancements to our integrated resort offerings. We also paid US$8.3 million for the scheduled installment of City of Dreams’ land premium payment during the first quarter of 2013.

Our advance to the Parent amounted to US$50.0 million for the first quarter of 2012.

Our total capital expenditure payments for the first quarter of 2012 were US$22.2 million. We also paid US$7.9 million for the scheduled installment of City of Dreams’ land premium payment during the first quarter of 2012.

 

10


Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to US$69.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, primarily from proceeds of the issuance of 2013 Senior Notes of US$1.0 billion, partially offset by the early redemption of 2010 Senior Notes and the associated redemption costs of US$102.5 million, the repayment of the drawn revolving credit facility under 2011 Credit facilities of US$212.5 million, and the payment of debt issuance cost associated with 2013 Senior Notes of US$15.8 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to US$2.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, primarily due to the advance from the Parent of US$2.5 million.

Indebtedness

The following table presents a summary of our indebtedness as of March 31, 2013:

 

     As of March 31,  
     2013  
     (In thousands of US$)  

2011 Credit Facilities

   $ 802,242   

2013 Senior Notes

     1,000,000   
  

 

 

 
   $ 1,802,242   
  

 

 

 

In January 2013, we commenced a cash tender offer of the 2010 Senior Notes and repurchased approximately US$599.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Senior Notes. On March 28, 2013, we redeemed all of the remaining 2010 Senior Notes, following which, the 2010 Senior Notes were cancelled in late March 2013. No 2010 Senior Notes are currently outstanding. A portion of the proceeds from the 2013 Senior Notes offering was used for the cash tender offer and redemption of the 2010 Senior Notes. Prior to such cash tender offer and full redemption, the company had completed a consent solicitation process in connection with the 2010 Senior Notes in October 2012 and paid approximately US$15.0 million to the holders who had validly delivered the relevant consent, which was capitalized as deferred financing cost.

On February 7, 2013, we issued US$1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 2013 Senior Notes with an interest rate of 5.00% per annum and the maturity date of February 15, 2021. 2013 Senior Notes were priced at par and listed on the Official List of the SGX-ST. The net proceeds were partly used to repurchase the 2010 Senior Notes in full.

In late March 2013, we repaid the drawn revolving credit facility under the 2011 Credit Facilities of HK$1.7 billion (equivalent to approximately US$212.5 million) in full.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events, including our future operating results and conditions, our prospects and our future financial performance and condition, all of which are largely based on our current expectations and projections. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Moreover, because we operate in a heavily regulated and evolving industry, may become highly leveraged, and operate in Macau, a market that has recently experienced extremely rapid growth and intense competition, new risk factors may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of these factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) growth of the gaming market and visitation in Macau, (ii) capital and credit market volatility, (iii) local and global economic conditions, (iv) our anticipated growth strategies, and (v) our future business development, results of operations and financial condition. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “target”, “aim”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “potential”, “continue”, “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this quarterly report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this quarterly report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Although we will have certain expenses and revenues denominated in Patacas, our revenues and expenses will be denominated predominantly in H.K. dollars and in connection with a portion of our indebtedness and certain expenses, U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from H.K. dollars to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to H.K. dollars in this quarterly report were made at a rate of HK$7.78 to US$1.00.

The H.K. dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the U.S. dollar). Since October 17, 1983, the H.K. dollar has been officially linked to the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.80 to US$1.00. The market exchange rate has not deviated materially from the level of HK$7.80 to US$1.00 since the peg was first established. However, in May 2005, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority broadened the trading band from the original rate of HK$7.80 per U.S. dollar to a rate range of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar. The Hong Kong government has stated its intention to maintain the link at that rate, and it, acting through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, has a number of means by which it may act to maintain exchange rate stability. However, no assurance can be given that the Hong Kong government will maintain the link at HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar or at all.

The noon buying rate on March 29, 2013 in New York City for cable transfers in H.K. dollar per U.S. dollar, as certified for customs purposes by the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States, or the Federal Reserve Board, was HK$7.7629 to US$1.00. On May 17, 2013, the noon buying rate was HK$7.7627 to US$1.00. We make no representation that any H.K. dollar or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or H.K. dollars, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

The Pataca is pegged to the H.K. dollar at a rate of HK$1.00 = MOP1.03. All translations from Patacas to U.S. dollars in this quarterly report were made at the exchange rate of MOP8.0134 = US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Board does not certify for customs purposes a noon buying rate for cable transfers in Patacas.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in connection with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected in the future. Certain statements in this “Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

We are currently in the development stage, and as a result there is no revenue and cash provided by our intended operations. Accordingly, the activities reflected in our consolidated statements of operations mainly relate to general and administrative expenses, amortization of land use right, interest expenses, other finance costs and pre-opening costs. Consequently, as is typical for a development stage company, we have incurred losses to date and expect these losses to continue to increase until we commence commercial operations with the planned opening of the Studio City Project in mid-2015.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had a net loss of US$21.5 million, an increase of US$19.7 million from a net loss of US$1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to our continuous development on Studio City, resulting an overall increase in our operating costs and expenses relating to amortization of land use right as well as interest expenses, net and other finance costs.

Amortization of land use rights expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were US$3.0 million, an increase of US$1.8 million from US$1.2 million incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily associated with the amended Studio City land concession contract in July 2012.

Pre-opening costs remained stable at US$0.6 million for each of the three months ended 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were US$12.9 million. The net interest expenses mainly represented US$17.5 million interest expenses incurred for the Studio City Notes issued in November 2012 and US$1.2 million interest expenses on Studio City land use right payable, offset in part by the interest capitalization of US$5.8 million associated with the Studio City construction and development projects.

Other finance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of US$4.6 million, included US$0.4 million of amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the Studio City Notes issued in November 2012 and loan commitment fee of US$4.2 million associated with the Studio City Project Facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have relied and intend to rely on shareholder equity contributions and/or subordinated loans from our shareholders, net proceeds from Studio City Notes and a portion of the Studio City Project Facility to meet our development project needs through the opening of the Studio City Project. As a development stage company relying on such financing sources, our working capital balance may be negative from time to time as the source of funds will be from long-term debt while our liabilities are current. See “—Indebtedness and Capital Contributions” for further details. In addition, we expect our cash outflow to increase as we will have substantial payment obligations relating to various development capital expenditure, pre-opening and working capital expenses and debt financing obligations during the construction period.

As of March 31, 2013, we held restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$835.1 million. The restricted cash comprised of net proceeds from offering of Studio City Notes and the unspent cash from the capital injection for the Studio City Project from the advance from immediate holding company, Studio City Holdings, both of which were restricted only for payment of construction and development costs and other project costs of the Studio City Project in accordance with Studio City Notes and Studio City Project Facility terms.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities

We are currently developing the Studio City Project and therefore there is no revenue and cash generated from our intended operations. Net cash used in operating activities during the presented periods in this quarterly report mainly represents general and administrative expenses and pre-opening costs paid during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, net cash used in operating activities were US$0.4 million and US$0.1 million respectively.

 

5


Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was US$71.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of US$59.5 million compared to US$12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Such increase was primarily due to increase in capital expenditure payment of US$43.7 million, advance payments for constructions of US$25.7 million, as well as the scheduled installment payment of US$22.1 million for Studio City’s land premium, partially offset by decrease in restricted cash of US$32.1 million.

The decrease in restricted cash of US$32.1 million was primarily due to withdrawal and payment of Studio City Project costs of US$158.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from the bank accounts that are restricted for Studio City Project costs in accordance with the terms of Studio City Notes and Studio City Project Facility, partially offset by the funds transfer from Studio City Holdings, our immediate holding company, of US$126.0 million as described below.

Cash used in investing activities was US$12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to the payment of design and preliminary works in connection with Studio City.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was US$72.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily from the advances from Studio City Holdings, our immediate holding company, which are unsecured and non-interest bearing, of US$126.0 million. The advances from Studio City Holdings of US$126.0 million was sourced from capital injection of MCE and New Cotai, LLC, shareholders of SCI. These were offset in part by the prepaid debt issuance costs of US$52.3 million associated with Studio City Project Facility and payment of debt issuance cost associated with Studio City Notes of US$1.5 million.

Cash provided by financing activities were US$9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The amounts represent fund transfer from Studio City Hong Kong, our affiliated company.

Indebtedness and Capital Contributions

As of March 31, 2013, our indebtedness represented the Studio City Notes amounted to US$825 million.

On January 28, 2013, we entered into an agreement for the Studio City Project Facility, a senior secured project facility for a total sum of HK$10,855,880,000 (equivalent to approximately US$1.4 billion), comprising a five year HK$10,080,460,000 (equivalent to approximately US$1.3 billion) delayed draw term loan facility and a HK$775,420,000 (equivalent to approximately US$100 million) revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Studio City Project Facility bear interest at the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) plus a margin of 4.50% per annum until the last day of the second full fiscal quarter after the opening date of the Studio City Project. After that, interest will accrue at HIBOR plus a margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.50% per annum, depending on the total leverage ratio of Studio City Company Limited and its subsidiaries.

 

6


In April 2013, MCE and New Cotai, LLC, shareholders of SCI, further contributed US$140 million to the Studio City Project in accordance with the shareholder agreement, resulting MCE and New Cotai, LLC contributed US$490 million in total as of the date of this quarterly report. Our shareholders are expected to provide total equity contribution and/or subordinated loans of US$825 million and SCI is expected to procure completion support of US$225 million through letters of credit or cash collateral. We believe that the significant equity investment of our shareholders provides us with a prudent capital structure.
